Chapter 191 - Chapter 191 - 191: Come Less Often in the Future (2/2)
As long as he could sell all the scratch cards here in the shortest amount of time, he could move on to another location.
Chen Yu didn’t care too much, he directly picked out forty-eight scratch cards from the pile.
But as he picked out these scratch cards, the owner’s eyes suddenly bulged like a cow’s.
The owner had made special marks on each scratch card, and these forty-eight were the winning guarantees he had deliberately kept aside.
After all, if such things kept losing, anyone would become suspicious.
But now all the winning guarantees had been picked out, which greatly alarmed the owner.
Before he could react, Chen Yu had already scratched off ten cards and passed the scratched cards to Xie Jiang, asking him to help verify them.
“Old Chen, won a hundred bucks!”
“This one has twenty bucks!”
…
It was too late for the owner to stop him; Chen Yu was very fast. Soon, all the scratch cards had been scratched.
However, the amounts won were very small, with the sum totaling less than two thousand yuan.
Chen Yu deliberately made a discontented face, “Boss, the amount you offer is way too small. Other places have prizes up to a million.”
Sweat suddenly erupted like a torrent on the owner’s forehead. If his store offered a million yuan prize, would he even survive?
“This sort of thing depends on luck. Besides, you’ve only scratched fifty cards. Scratch a few more, and maybe you’ll hit the jackpot.”
Chen Yu sat down next to him and tapped on the counter.
“If I’m not mistaken, aside from the ones I just scratched, the rest probably won’t have any prize!”
The owner was stunned for a moment, and his body began to tremble slightly.
“Sir, what are you implying?”
Chen Yu took one of the winning scratch cards, “No implication, I’m just wondering what these marks are about. Don’t tell me they were there when they were made.”
Xie Jiang and a few workers beside him hurried to examine the winning cards and found an extremely subtle mark on each of them.
A wave of anger erupted among them. By this point, even a fool would understand what was going on.
“Great, no wonder you called us over to play early in the morning. Turns out it was all a trick; you were using us as patsies! And we were even nice enough to come support your business.”
Xie Jiang was at the peak of his anger and went straight up, grabbing the owner’s collar, almost dragging him out from behind the counter.
At this moment, Chen Yu called Zhou Shengtao, asking him to send someone to arrest the culprit.
The owner’s face turned ashen; the marks he had made were extremely secretive and should not have been noticeable to the average person.
Moreover, Chen Yu had picked the cards directly from behind the glass counter.
It wasn’t long before the owner was taken away, and the entire shop was closed down.
Xie Jiang resentfully threw the bunch of scratch cards he was holding onto the ground.
“Such bad luck early in the morning!”
Chen Yu patted Xie Jiang on the shoulder: “Alright, even if places like these were legitimate, we can’t always come here.”
Xie Jiang sighed helplessly: “I just wanted to teach these kids a lesson, and considering the owner was a neighbor…”
Xie Jiang became somewhat incoherent, not knowing what to say, just looking resentfully at one of the young men.
“Did you hear what Boss Chen said? If you need money, come to me. Places like this, you’re better off avoiding in the future.”
