Qin Dingdong paused.

Meanwhile, Qi Xia watched the two with great interest from the side.

A clumsy female scammer versus a brother who had participated at least twice—who would win?

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, “Big brother, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I was deceived exactly like this last time.”

“Oh?” The Sichuan-Chongqing man looked Qin Dingdong over. “You clearly have four fans in your pocket, yet you claim you were deceived last time… Do you take me for a fool?”

“Big brother, you’ve misunderstood.” Qin Dingdong shook her head. “I really was scammed out of one fan. At that time, I only had two left. These two are ones I newly bought.”

“I was standing by Earth-Sheep the whole time. How come I didn’t see you buy any fans?”

“Because I bought them early.” Qin Dingdong answered. “Big brother, you’re not really a scammer, are you? You’re not planning to put your fan in?”

“I…” The Sichuan-Chongqing brother still looked cautiously at Qi Xia and Qin Dingdong, then asked, “Did you two know each other before?”

Qin Dingdong and Qi Xia looked at each other, feeling that the man before them wasn’t easy to deceive.

This was understandable. Anyone who could bring a handbag into this game couldn’t be stupid. They naturally knew what situations would occur.

“I didn’t want to know him either.” Qin Dingdong said quietly. “Big brother, this person is complete scum.”

“What?” After hearing this, the brother was stunned. “Scum?”

“Didn’t I say I was deceived?” Qin Dingdong pouted and pointed at Qi Xia with a wronged expression. “The one who deceived me was him.”

After hearing this, Qi Xia helplessly shook his head.

This girl called Qin Dingdong had very active thinking, but her methods had always been like those of a low-level scammer.

“You’re saying this man deceived you?” The brother obviously couldn’t quite understand. “But he was the one who brought me here just now!”

“That’s right.” Qin Dingdong nodded. “After he deceived me, he felt very guilty and said he would definitely let me get out, but I would never pair with him again no matter what, so he agreed to help me find another teammate…”

“Is… is that so…?” The brother continued to look suspiciously at the two.

“Didn’t I tell you not to say it?” Qi Xia said coldly. “Now that you’ve said it, what am I supposed to do?”

“Why can’t I say it?!” Qin Dingdong retorted. “You’re clearly the one who did it! Now you won’t let me speak? If you had the guts, you shouldn’t have deceived me in the first place!”

“Am I spoiling you too much?” Qi Xia took a step forward and asked viciously in a lowered voice. “I’ve already done more than enough by finding you a teammate willing to pair! You actually exposed my identity. What am I supposed to do next?! If everyone knows I’m a scammer, who will pair with me?!”

“That’s your own problem!” Qin Dingdong seemed emotionally out of control. “Even if you die here, you deserve it! Why should I help you cover it up?”

The Sichuan-Chongqing brother was startled by this sudden scene. “You… you two stop arguing first…”

“Get out of my way.” Qi Xia said coldly. “If I don’t slap this woman three times today, my name isn’t Li Ming.”

“Li… Brother Li!” The brother stepped forward and grabbed Qi Xia tightly. “Give me face! Give me face! Let’s not fight! The urgent matter now is to escape quickly!”

“Big brother, I’ve changed my mind!” Qin Dingdong said with a gloomy expression. “Make this person get far away! If he’s here, I won’t pair up!”

“You…” Qi Xia pointed at Qin Dingdong and was about to step forward.

The brother immediately blocked him again. “Little Li, Little Li! Calm down first!”

Qi Xia looked quite angry. Only after the brother persuaded him earnestly did he agree to retreat a few steps.

“Little sister, let’s hurry up!” After thinking for a moment, the brother pulled out a fan from his chest, confirmed the pattern with Qin Dingdong, then inserted it into the machine. “I can’t delay anymore. The longer I delay, the more dangerous it gets!”

“Good, good!” Qin Dingdong also nodded hastily, then reached to pull out her own fan.

After fumbling for a long time, she slowly raised her head, revealing a mischievous smile.

“Big brother, I’m sorry, but… I’ve changed my mind a bit.”

“What?”

“You have so many fans… if you get out, you’ll definitely make a huge profit, right?” Qin Dingdong said. “But I’m different… I have nothing…”

“Heh…” The brother was silent for a moment. “Little sister, you currently have four fans in your hand. As long as you put in two, you can earn ten ‘Dao’ after you get out.”

“That’s not enough, big brother.” Qin Dingdong smiled and took his arm. “Big brother, how about you give me two?”

“Give you… two?” The brother frowned at her. “Are you crazy? Two fans are worth ten ‘Dao.’ Your appetite is way too big.”

Qin Dingdong smiled and pointed at the pairing machine. “You’ve already put in two. Even if you don’t pair with me now, you’ll still lose those two… Think carefully. The result is clearly the same.”

“You… damn it… I understand now…” The brother laughed angrily. “You’re the scammer! You two teamed up to deceive me?”

“How could that be?” Qin Dingdong still showed a wronged expression. “Big brother, I really was deceived. I just want to take a few fans out at the last moment so I can make up for some of my losses.”

Standing not far away, Qi Xia watched the state of the two, calculating what might happen next.

Would this brother fall for it?

According to Qin Dingdong’s methods, she most likely wouldn’t let this man out. She would only try to scam all his wealth as much as possible. This person was completely different from the previous uncle.

His wealth was too great. He wouldn’t just be scammed out of the fans in the game; he would also lose all the “Dao” he used to buy fans.

He might fight Qin Dingdong to the death.

Once such a serious violent incident occurred in the venue, the situation would spiral out of control.

Even if Qin Dingdong survived, she would become the next “rich person” and immediately become the target everyone else would set their sights on.

Right now, the best approach was…

“Big brother, have you thought it through?” Qin Dingdong continued to ask. “You only need two fans, then you can escape with all the remaining fans.”

“Little sister… I have a new idea…” The brother sighed and finally said, “First take out the two fans you’re going to put in the machine. Let’s do a simultaneous exchange.”

“Hm?”

“After I give you two fans, you immediately put those two in.” The brother slowly revealed a sinister smile. “If you dare to renege… I will definitely kill you right here.”

Looking at the state of the man before her, Qin Dingdong felt a chill down her spine.

This man seemed somewhat dangerous.

“Little sister, you might not know what I did before I came here…” The brother continued coldly. “I didn’t want to cause trouble today, so I’ve given you plenty of face. I hope you’ll know what’s good for you.”

After hearing this, Qin Dingdong swallowed, then cast a pleading look toward Qi Xia.
