Chapter 47 Fraud

"Hello." Ling Zihan was impeccable in terms of etiquette: "Can we talk?"

Kong Linlin seemed a little hesitant: "What's wrong?"

The sincerity that appeared on Ling Zihan's face was almost substantive: "I'm in some trouble, and I hope to get your help."

Kong Linlin's eyes suddenly became very sharp: "What are you referring to?"

Ling Zihan turned his head to look around, and his eyes quickly fell back on Kong Linlin: "This is not a place to talk, can we go in and talk?"

In fact, Kong Linlin really wanted to refuse.

She weighed it over and over again, with a gloomy face, she turned sideways to make way for a narrow passage.

The furnishings in the room are the same as the last time I came.The furniture is all old models, and all kinds of commonly used objects are cheap.The electrical configuration is no different from that of ordinary people, nothing more than heaters, electric ovens, refrigerators, projection screens, fans and so on.

The basic functions of household electronic products in this era are not much different from those in the old era, but the prices are much lower.Due to the special environment in the underground world, refrigerators are not considered a necessity for many families, but heaters, electric ovens, and electrical appliances with heating properties are different, and their prices are slightly more expensive.

Ling Zihan sat down on the chair, glanced around casually, and asked with a smile, "Where's brother Ni?"

"He's gone out." Kong Linlin answered very simply. She still had a gentle appearance, and her demeanor and speech gave people a sense of weakness that she couldn't help but want to care for.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" She looked at Ling Zihan with vigilance and a hint of indifference.

"About the last task, I hope you can settle the relevant payment." This is a reasonable excuse that Ling Zihan thought up in advance.

There are many forms of remuneration for legion missions. The most common is payment. Of course, there are also real payments in kind agreed by both parties. There are also cases where the man agrees to accompany the woman for a period of time, and the woman is willing to marry the man and become his slave, or even cut off a part of her body and give it to the other party.

As long as it is a convention and both parties have no objections, the Legion will not interfere.

There are also various forms of payment of honorarium.Usually, the task issuer will directly hand over the money to the legion organization, and the legion and the executor will each get half of the task after the task is completed.If it is not completed within the time limit, the Legion will refund half of the payment and impose varying degrees of punishment on the executor.

It is very rare for the task executor to ask for a reward directly from the poster, but the rules are the same.The money must not be kept privately, and half of it must be handed over, that is, the prescribed amount to the property department of the legion.Otherwise, once an incident occurs, they will be dismissed from the military at the slightest rate, and will be severely suppressed and hunted down.

Kong Linlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously frowned, seemingly a little unhappy, but the vigilance in the depths of her eyes was obviously much weaker than before.

"Isn't this a bit against the rules?" She let go of her guard and said deliberately: "When I released the mission, the people from the Legion told me that I had to hand over the rewards to them for management."

Ling Zihan sighed, he seemed a little impatient: "Then can you come with me to the Legion Mission Department now and pay the reward first?"

Kong Linlin looked at him inquiringly: "Why? According to the regulations, as long as I pay the remuneration within 72 hours from the day I complete the task, it will not be considered a violation."

There is no electronic payment in this era.

The reason is simple. As the civilization of the old age evaporated in the war, the national currency system also completely collapsed.The reason why gold coins and silver coins have become the mainstream of currency in the new era is that they are important industrial raw materials, and their own value has been recognized by everyone.

Although physical payment has various inconveniences, no one will and cannot accept electronic payment.

That means too much uncertainty, just like Bitcoin in the old era, it has long been proven in the course of time and history that it is a scam for the whole people.

Ling Zihan picked up the teacup and took a sip. His handsome face showed a bit of undisguised anger, mixed with panic, impatience and nervousness: "I need money...I want it now. What I mean is, you give me the reward, and I will take care of the rest."

Kong Linlin sat on the chair and didn't speak.

She looked at Ling Zihan with scrutiny.

The young man looked very immature.It is no exaggeration to say that it is very likely to be a rare broiler chicken.

His cheeks were flushed, which showed that his heart was full of tension, perhaps even anger, which directly caused the blood flow in his body to increase and his body temperature to rise.

He stutters and speaks without rhythm, which shows that his logical thinking is somewhat confused, but the purpose is clear, which is to ask for money.

It should be true, he wasn't lying.

"Okay!" Kong Linlin was not out of character, but felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less.Anyway, the remuneration will be paid sooner or later. Since Ling Zihan took the initiative to come to the door and promised that he would not need to worry about the follow-up affairs, he should simply meet his request.

She reached out and took out a handful of silver horns from her pocket, spread them out in her palm, counted them carefully, and placed them on the table.

She will not give more, nor give less: "Please click."

Ling Zihan didn't look at it, and stretched out his hand to gather all the silver corners on the table at an impatient speed.

He acted like the world's greediest miser.

Kong Linlin felt a little funny about his performance.The corner of her mouth was raised, without concealing the contempt and sarcasm on her face, and then issued an order to evict the guest: "Do you have anything else?"

Ling Zihan's answer was completely beyond Kong Linlin's expectation: "Yes, of course."

The sarcasm that had just emerged in Kong Linlin's heart was instantly overwhelmed by astonishment, and she asked with a sullen face, "What did you say?"

"I've been in some trouble recently." Ling Zihan smiled charmingly again on that pretty face: "I need money."

"What do you mean?" Kong Linlin glared at him.

Ling Zihan crossed his legs, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, lit it slowly and gracefully, took a deep breath, and whistled at Kong Linlin with the special aura of a combination of a libertine, a hooligan, a hooligan, and a rascal.

"I know you are a person with secrets." He looked at Kong Linlin with mysterious and masculine eyes: "I have an advantage, as long as you meet my requirements, I will not be interested in your secrets, and I will not go outside to talk nonsense."

Kong Linlin's complexion became gloomy again, she was as cold as ice: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Ling Zihan looked at her with a half-smile: "It seems that I should call the police station?"

The muscles in the corners of Kong Linlin's eyes twitched suddenly.

She's never been one to hide her emotions.

Ling Zihan said without losing the opportunity: "But I think it's not good for us to do so. So...hehe..."

He changed the cigarette he was holding in his right hand to his left, then stretched out his right thumb and index finger, rubbing and twisting back and forth repeatedly.

"I need money, a thousand gold dollars." The smile on Ling Zihan's face was very fake, full of politeness and perfunctory regardless of cost.He liked the way the sharp fangs were exposed between charming gestures.Especially when doing this kind of thing for the first time, it is very exciting.

"You're shameless!" Kong Linlin was trembling with anger, she stood up suddenly from the chair, pointed at Ling Zihan and cursed, "You... how could you do this?"

Ling Zihan spread his hands, his expression more innocent than ever: "I'm talking about business with you now, how can I say it's shameless? Anyway, the business is not righteous, you can agree or refuse."

"My asking price is not high, only a thousand gold dollars."

"As I said, you are a person with secrets. I'm not interested in your secrets, but that doesn't mean I can't sell your secrets to others, like the police."

"I'm a man of rules. If you're willing to give money and meet my demands, then everything is negotiable."

He speaks eloquently and imposingly, just like sitting in a public lecture hall in the old days, declaring the friendship between China and Yufeng for generations. The Nanjing Massacre, Qi Sanyi, and the mass graves in Northeast China are all fake.

Kong Linlin seemed to be weak in her hands and feet. She slumped heavily on the chair, holding her head in her hands, and inserted her fingers into the depths of her hair.

"...I always thought you were a good person."

"I've had enough troubles, I didn't expect that even you..."

"I...I have no money..."

She was moaning, more like pleading.

Ling Zihan sat on the chair unmoved.

He was still smiling all over his face, and there was a special momentum in his words that clearly had the upper hand, as well as a seductive allure: "Just give me a thousand gold dollars, and I promise to keep my mouth shut and never reveal any of your secrets to anyone."

Kong Linlin raised her head slowly, her eyes turned red from nervousness, fear and anger: "You...what do you know?"

"Kong Jun is not a normal person." Ling Zihan took a puff of cigarette and exhaled thick smoke: "He is not even your brother at all."

In fact, Ling Zihan has no evidence, and all of this is his guess based on various clues.

One thing is certain—Kong Linlin is not short of money, she may even be a very rich woman.

No matter who is threatened, coerced, or cheated, especially when it comes to money, the first reaction will be to refuse. In most cases, the first sentence is "I don't have money."

Kong Linlin did not do this.

The ordering of the sentences that came out of her mouth puts this sentence in third place.

What is the concept of a thousand gold dollars?
The Bone Crusher Gang, Yin Sha Gang, and Blood Wolf Gang are united. All kinds of messy property plus the heads, biological tissues, and metal parts of all the gang members can be estimated to be almost this number.
