Chapter 78: Successfully Fooled
“You’re not going to take a look?” Fan Heng couldn’t help but ask.
“No need.”
“Suit yourself, but this ‘Yinma Tu’ is indeed an authentic piece. You don’t need to doubt it.”
“I believe you. If you find any more treasures in the future, feel free to come to me. I can definitely offer you a reasonable price,” Wang Haoran said.
“Then you better prepare billions, or even tens of billions, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay,” Fan Heng replied.
“Don’t worry, no matter how much you bring, I’ll take it all.”
“Alright, you said it!” Fan Heng was delighted.
Antiques are the most valuable.
He felt that if he continued to hunt for treasures, it wouldn’t take long before he could empty half of Wang Haoran’s family fortune.
By then, when Wang Haoran couldn’t afford to buy anymore, he could mock him mercilessly!
…
“Can you come out for a moment? There’s something I want to talk to you about,” Fang Xuan, with a worried expression, secretly sent a message to Wang Haoran.
The two of them went to an empty hospital room.
There was no one else around.
Fang Xuan asked in confusion, “You’ve already given 10 million, so why agree to take in the treasures my brother finds in the future?”
“What else could I do? If I don’t take them, who will? When he consults an expert and finds out the previous ones were fake, how will you explain the 10 million? Tell him it was actually your earnings?” Wang Haoran smoothly countered Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan was taken aback.
Her mind was a bit chaotic earlier, and she hadn’t realized this issue.
Now, after Wang Haoran’s explanation, Fang Xuan couldn’t help but admire him for his thorough and considerate thinking.
“But after being a shill twice, my brother naively believes he can really appraise treasures. If he finds something valuable in the future, are you really going to spend hundreds of millions to buy it?” Fang Xuan realized another problem.
Spending money to buy them? That’s impossible!
“I’ll continue to take them, but I’ll say the money for the antiques was transferred to you,” Wang Haoran said.
Fang Xuan suddenly understood.
Wang Haoran wouldn’t have to pay a penny, but she could lie and tell her brother the money was received.
If her brother asked for the money, she could easily find an excuse to brush him off.
After all, her brother respected her as his sister. If she didn’t want to give it, he wouldn’t force her.
Wang Haoran’s idea was brilliant!
“You’re really smart, no wonder your grades are so good!” Fang Xuan couldn’t help but praise him.
[Ding, the host successfully fooled the female lead Fang Xuan, influencing the plot direction, gaining 200 villain points, reducing Fan Heng’s protagonist halo by 10, and increasing the host’s villain halo by 10!]
Wang Haoran smiled secretly.
Of course, I’m smart. In the future, I can get all the antiques Fan Heng finds for free, then sell them for a huge profit.
Becoming a billionaire, or even a multi-billionaire, depends on Fan Heng!
…
Leaving the hospital, Wang Haoran took the Cullinan to the hotel where he usually stayed.
As soon as he opened the door, a graceful figure rushed towards him.
Outside, the moon was bright and stars were sparse; inside, the battle was fierce, and time quietly passed by.
When Wang Haoran picked up his phone to check, he found it was already midnight.
Wen Jing had fallen asleep, tired, like a well-behaved kitten.
Although Chu Bai was out of the picture and Xu Muyan’s affection was high, Wen Jing didn’t have much use anymore.
However, Wang Haoran didn’t turn ruthless and abandon her.
Wen Jing was incredibly obedient, doing whatever he asked without causing trouble.
Compared to those female leads, Wang Haoran felt the least pressure, most comfortable, and most relaxed when with Wen Jing.
Wang Haoran wasn’t sleepy yet, so he opened his attribute panel to take a look.
The villain points had risen to a new height of 3600.
He spent 3000 villain points again to exchange for six years of internal energy.
At the same time, the attribute panel showed changes.

Early the next morning.
In the interrogation room.
Xiao Yifeng was in a very bad mood, and his mental state wasn’t good either.
The air conditioning in the interrogation room was too cold, and he needed to circulate his internal energy to ward off the chill, so he hadn’t rested well all night.
Moreover, the chair in the interrogation room was hard, and after sitting for so long, even his butt was numb.
Plus, since he came in yesterday, he hadn’t had a drop of water, let alone food.
It was very uncomfortable.
So when someone came to work this morning, Xiao Yifeng called out loudly.
There was surveillance in the interrogation room, so the commotion Xiao Yifeng made could be seen by people outside.
Before long, Ling Duanya came in.
“Ready to confess?”
“I can confess, but I’m very hungry right now.”
“Bring some water and food,” Ling Duanya said to a colleague.
Soon, water and food were brought in.
Xiao Yifeng had a full meal and was very satisfied, patting his bulging stomach.
“Speak,” Ling Duanya opened the interrogation recorder.
“Speak about what?” Xiao Yifeng picked his teeth with his pinky nail.
Bang! Another sound of a table being slapped.
“Are you messing with me?!” Ling Duanya said angrily.
“Don’t be mad, I’ll talk, I’ll talk,” Xiao Yifeng laughed. “Beauty, you’re sick, and it’s not a light illness. Ordinary people can’t cure it, but I can. It only requires massage, no pain at all, and I guarantee a cure.”
Ling Duanya took a deep breath, holding back the urge to hit someone.
She was indeed sick, but with Wang Haoran treating her, she wasn’t worried at all.
What Xiao Yifeng said about massage treatment was clearly an excuse to take advantage.
For the same illness, Wang Haoran only mentioned using medicine, never saying massage was necessary.
And Xiao Yifeng insisted that massage was essential.
This was obviously nonsense.
“You can stay here and enjoy the air conditioning,” Ling Duanya didn’t want to waste time with Xiao Yifeng.
“Beauty, believe me, your illness can’t be cured by ordinary people. In the entire Qingling City, besides me, there’s no one else who can cure you. If you don’t accept my treatment, you’ll be paralyzed…”
Bang!
The sound of a door closing abruptly cut off Xiao Yifeng’s incessant chatter.
Outside the interrogation room.
“The guy inside still has 36 hours of detention left. During this time, don’t give him water or food,” Ling Duanya instructed a new colleague guarding the interrogation room.
“Sister Ling, isn’t that against the rules?” The colleague was a bit hesitant.
“This guy is very cunning. To deal with such people, don’t stick too strictly to the rules. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens,” Ling Duanya said.
“Okay, Sister Ling,” the colleague agreed.
