Chapter 59: Thieves Fall Out, Treasure Obtained.

Since he had decided to obtain this Mutated Yuan Crystal, Jiang Xincheng’s eyes flashed with light as he thought of a method. Although this method was somewhat unfair, compared to the Golden Body Stone Mutated Yuan Crystal, what did it matter? Besides, those scammers were not good people either.

Once he thought of this, Jiang Xincheng hesitated no more. He looked at the middle-aged man opposite him and frowned, saying, “Brother, is there something wrong with your Yuan Crystal?”

“Something wrong?” Jiang Xincheng’s words made the middle-aged man pause, then he laughed and said, “Little brother, don’t fool me. This Third-Grade Yuanjing was specifically tested by a testing instrument. How could there be anything wrong with it?”

“Just now, when your daughter put the Third-Grade Yuanjing into the water, I saw golden light flickering on the Yuan Crystal. If you don’t believe me, you can put it in the teacup and try again. Then you’ll know if what I say is true or not.” Jiang Xincheng spoke seriously.

“Impossible, don’t try to trick me. Even if you fool me, I won’t sell this Third-Grade Yuanjing to you again.” The middle-aged man continued shaking his head, clearly not believing Jiang Xincheng’s words. He even thought Jiang Xincheng had other intentions.

Jiang Xincheng frowned and said, “If you don’t believe me, just put the Yuan Crystal into the water and you’ll know. Whether it’s true or false, one test will tell. Why would I need to lie to you? Besides, if this really is a Mutated Yuan Crystal, the consequences for anyone who mistakenly consumes it would be unimaginable.”

Jiang Xincheng’s words were not soft, and several passengers around who had bought the so-called Third-Grade Yuanjing heard them. Their faces changed, and they turned to look at Jiang Xincheng and the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s face shifted between dark and bright. After thinking for a moment, he immediately took out the Third-Grade Yuanjing he had just bought and threw it into the teacup. “Alright, little brother, I’ll believe you this once. Anyway, putting the Yuan Crystal in water won’t harm it. I’ll see if it really glows.”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man leaned his head close to the teacup and observed carefully. Several nearby passengers also leaned over, watching intently.

“Damn, it’s over. This so-called Third-Grade Yuanjing really glows, and it’s golden light. We’ve been tricked.”

Soon, one passenger yelled out, and the others followed suit.

“I saw it too, I saw it too. This Third-Grade Yuanjing really glows with golden light. How can a Yuan Crystal glow with golden light? This is a fake Yuan Crystal. We’ve been scammed.”

“What do we do now? What do we do? I spent several hundred thousand to buy these Mutated Yuan Crystals. I put all my family assets into it. What should I do now?”

“Quick, find those scammers. They were all acting. That Yuan Crystal testing instrument must have had problems. Maybe it was fake. Let’s hurry and find them.”

…

The panicked appearance of the several passengers scared all the other passengers around who had bought the Mutated Yuan Crystals. These passengers soon also put their Yuan Crystals into teacups and discovered the secret of the glowing Mutated Yuan Crystals, realizing they had bought fakes and been deceived.

“Everyone, look! The woman who was holding the Elemental Crystals Tester has already run away. She even took her things with her, leaving nothing behind. And that scammer old man—they were clearly in cahoots.”

“Oh no, what do we do now? I spent so much money on these Yuan Crystals, and they’re all fake. Boo hoo, what should I do?”

“Let’s chase after them! They went to that carriage. We need to find them quickly, or they’ll get off at the next stop and escape, and we’ll never catch them. Hurry, brothers and sisters!”

…

Amid the clamor, dozens of passengers rushed like mad toward the carriage where the Old Man and the fashionable woman had fled, afraid they would escape.

Watching the extremely agitated passengers, Jiang Xincheng picked up more than ten pieces of the Mutated Yuan Crystal Golden Body Stone that the passengers had thrown aside. He smiled slightly and followed along.

The Old Man and the fashionable, pretty woman had not run far. The train was only so long, and the two had merely hidden in a corner dozens of carriages back, waiting for the train to reach the next station so they could immediately get off and escape. At this point, there was only half an hour left until the next station, but unexpectedly, something went wrong.

The two had even made slight changes: they changed clothes and covered their faces with black cloth. Moreover, their accomplices were not just the two of them; there were also several passengers who had initially stirred up trouble, who were also their partners.

The group dispersed between two adjacent carriages, each making some changes. However, no matter how much they changed, it was hard to avoid leaving any traces, especially with so many people around.

The Old Man and the fashionable, pretty woman had disguised themselves well, and the group of scammed passengers did not notice them. But one of their companions wore rather distinctive shoes and had not changed them, so the group of passengers spotted him.

After the discovery, the Old Man and the fashionable woman quietly prepared to slip away, but Jiang Xincheng noticed them and pointed them out to one of the scammed passengers. Thus, the Old Man and the fashionable woman were also found out.

The group of scammed passengers angrily rushed toward the leaders of this scam, surrounding the Old Man and the fashionable woman and starting to beat them.

“Give us back our money! You tricked me out of fifty thousand! A full fifty thousand! Hurry up and give it back to me. That’s a year’s worth of my hard-earned money!”

“Mine is seven hundred and fifty thousand! That was all my savings. Hurry up and compensate me!”

“I’ll kill you! You cheated me out of my life-saving money. Give it back now, or I’ll beat you to death!”

…

The train security officers quickly arrived. If not for that, the Old Man and the fashionable woman might have been severely injured. Even so, they were quite hurt.

The Old Man did not see Jiang Xincheng’s figure; he only learned from the passengers who were violently beating him that these passengers had accidentally thrown the Yuan Crystals into teacups and thus discovered that the so-called Third-Grade Yuanjing was fake. He could only admit his bad luck.

As for Jiang Xincheng, watching the Old Man, the fashionable woman, and the others being escorted away by the security officers and the group of scammed passengers, a smile crossed his lips. He bent down and began picking up items from the spot where the Old Man and the fashionable woman had been beaten.

During the earlier violent beating of the Old Man and the fashionable woman, their reactions had already admitted that the Third-Grade Yuanjing was fake. This so-called Third-Grade Yuanjing was indeed a Mutated Yuan Crystal—a harmful and useless Mutated Yuan Crystal. Therefore, the many scammed passengers had thrown the Yuan Crystals at the two, shouting for them to pay compensation.

Now, the ground was covered with extremely precious Mutated Yuan Crystal Golden Body Stones, but no one paid any attention to them, allowing Jiang Xincheng to pick them up one by one and put them into his pocket.

Of course, those scammed passengers probably still had some Golden Body Stone Mutated Yuan Crystals on them, not all thrown on the ground. After Jiang Xincheng finished picking up the Mutated Yuan Crystal Golden Body Stones that the passengers had discarded, he smiled and followed those passengers to the train’s security point, hoping to find a chance to get all the remaining Golden Body Stone Mutated Yuan Crystals.
