Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 612 The Nightlife Has Just Begun

"Well, I believe you." Zhao Wenyue looked at Lin Ke's determined eyes, her heart full of admiration.

This man is not only talented, but also loving. How rare!

As night falls and the lights come on, Kyoto's nightlife has just begun.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Wenyue, Lin Ke walked home alone.

The refreshing evening breeze brushed across his cheeks, blowing away the melancholy in Lin Ke's heart. He took a deep breath, feeling this rare tranquility.

"Jingle Bell……"

The cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting Lin Ke's thoughts.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was his agent Wang Feng calling.

"Hello, Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Lin Ke answered the phone and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Lin Ke, where are you? Go back to the company quickly, there is an emergency meeting." Wang Feng's voice sounded a little anxious.

"Emergency meeting? What's the urgent matter?" Lin Ke was a little confused. Could something strange have happened again?

"It's hard to explain over the phone. Come back as soon as possible and we'll talk. The sooner the better!" After Wang Feng said that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Lin Ke frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

It looks like I have to work overtime again tonight.

He sighed helplessly, turned and walked to the roadside, ready to take a taxi back to the company.

"Sir, please be kind, I haven't eaten for three days..."

Just then, a weak voice came from behind Lin Ke.

Lin Ke stopped and turned around, only to see a ragged, dishevelled man sitting on the side of the road with a broken bowl in front of him, begging from him pitifully.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, thin, with a sallow complexion, and a pair of cloudy eyes filled with despair and pleading.

His right leg was broken at the knee, leaving only a bare stump, which was a shocking sight.

"Oh, how pitiful!"

"He lost his legs at such a young age. How will he live in the future?"

"God is so unfair. Why did he treat him like this?"

Passersby stopped to watch the man's miserable fate. They couldn't help but feel pity for him and donated money generously by throwing it into his bowl.

Lin Ke looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little touched.

He grew up in an orphanage and knew well how difficult life was. He always had a sympathetic heart for those living at the bottom of society.

Lin Ke took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and was about to put it into the man's bowl.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the man's broken leg.

The bare, severed leg looked too real to be real.

Moreover, the man's eyes flickered, as if he was deliberately avoiding his gaze.

Lin Ke's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this man!

He calmly took back the money in his hand and turned away as if nothing had happened.

"Wait, sir, you haven't paid yet!" Seeing Lin Ke was about to leave, the man hurriedly called out to stop him.

Lin Ke stopped and turned to look at the man, with a playful smile on his face. "Brother, what happened to your leg? Can you tell me about it?" Lin Ke asked gently.

The man obviously didn't expect Lin Ke to suddenly ask about his leg. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Sir, please don't mention it. It makes me cry!" The man sighed, a painful expression on his face, "I used to be a construction worker. Although my life was hard, it was acceptable."

"But accidents happen. A year ago, I accidentally fell off the scaffolding on the construction site and broke my leg."

"The doctor said my leg was so badly injured that it had to be amputated."

"Just like that, I lost my job and my family. I ended up living on the streets, begging for a living."

As the man spoke, his eyes turned red and tears as big as beans rolled down from the corners of his eyes. He looked very pitiful.

"Oh, how pitiful!"

"How could God let such a good person suffer like this?"

"Let's help him, any help we can give is a plus!"

Passersby were moved when they heard the man's story, and they felt more sympathetic towards his plight and began to donate money to help him.

Lin Ke sneered in his heart as he watched the man's tearful performance.

This man has pretty good acting skills, it’s a shame he doesn’t act!

"Big brother, what's your name?" Lin Ke continued to ask, trying hard to suppress his smile.

"My name is Lu Da." the man replied.

"Lü Da?" Lin Ke repeated the man's name, pretending to be "suddenly enlightened", "I remember now, I seem to have seen you on the news."

"You are the hero who stood up for justice and bravely fought against the criminals, right?"

"The news said that you had your legs chopped off by the gangsters in order to save a girl who was being robbed. That's really admirable!"

As Lin Ke spoke, he observed the man's reaction.

Sure enough, when the man heard Lin Ke's words, his expression changed slightly, and a trace of panic and guilt flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly calmed down, forced a smile, and said, "Sir, you got the wrong person. I'm not a hero. I'm just an ordinary disabled person."

"Really?" Lin Ke looked at the man with a half-smile, "But why do I feel like there's something wrong with your legs?"

When the man heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"What did you say?" An old lady in a floral dress stood up and glared at Lin Ke in dissatisfaction. "She's already so pitiful, and you still say such things? Do you have any conscience?"

Lin Ke ignored the aunt's accusations, but squatted down and carefully observed Lu Da's "broken leg".

The "broken leg" was made of a special material and coated with a layer of simulated skin, making it look exactly like the real thing.

If Lin Ke hadn't observed carefully, he would not have been able to find the flaw at all.

"Sir, I don't know what you are talking about." Lu Da avoided Lin Ke's gaze, "My leg is really broken, if you don't believe me, just look!"

As he spoke, Lu Da deliberately moved his "broken leg" in an attempt to prove that he was not lying.

"That's enough!" Lin Ke stood up suddenly and said in a cold tone, "Stop pretending. I've seen through your scam!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" A middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up and pointed at Lin Ke's nose and cursed, "Stop talking nonsense here! People are already like this, and you still say such things. Have you lost your conscience?"

"That's right! How can you be like this? People are already so pitiful, and you are still here to add insult to injury. You are so cruel!" The auntie in the floral skirt also echoed.
