Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

Chapter Thirty-Eight

"What's up?"

Yin Tian looked at Xia Nianbing with interest, the smile on his lips seemed to confirm that he had seen through the little cunning thoughts of hers.

"Umm... Hmm..."

Xia Nianbing's mind raced.

She herself didn't know what else there was to say, but she just didn't want Yin Tian to leave; she wanted him to keep her company.

Suddenly, she had an idea, "I have a party tonight and everyone is bringing a date, but I don't have one, so you can stand in for the time being."

This morning, she indeed received an invitation to a party, but she had no intention of going.

When Yin Tian asked her if there was anything else, she couldn't think of another way to keep him around, so she blurted out about the party.

"Is that so..."

Yin Tian pretended to contemplate.

"What do you say?"

Xia Nianbing pouted, looking expectantly at Yin Tian.

"Alright then."

Yin Tian agreed.

"Mhm mhm!"

Xia Nianbing nodded repeatedly, looking adorably eager.

Since the party was in the evening, Yin Tian spent the entire afternoon with Xia Nianbing, shopping away.

To facilitate shopping, Xia Nianbing even went out of her way to take Yin Tian back to the Xia Family's place and drove out her newly-bought pink Porsche 911.

It was obvious that Xia Nianbing had only recently passed her driving test, as she drove with tense nerves, her pale, delicate hands clutching the steering wheel tightly, her gaze never wavering, her whole body stiff.

Yin Tian sat in the passenger seat, chin in hand, slightly turning his head to observe Xia Nianbing.

Xia Nianbing, although trying hard to concentrate on driving, still felt the burning gaze of someone watching her.

"What... What are you looking at!"

Xia Nianbing spoke up, feigning calm.

"You look cute."

Yin Tian said nonchalantly.

As soon as these words were spoken, a visible layer of pink rapidly spread up Xia Nianbing's neck, swiftly covering her small face.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

She protested in pretense, sweetness swelling in her heart.

Yin Tian grinned and said nothing more, his gaze not shifting away.

"Stop looking..."

Xia Nianbing became flustered under Yin Tian's staring, almost forgetting all that she had learned in driving school.

"What if I don't?"

"You're not allowed to look!"

For the first time ever, Xia Nianbing let go of one hand from the wheel, attempting to block Yin Tian's view.

With a smile on his lips, Yin Tian leaned forward, easily dodging Xia Nianbing's hand.

Xia Nianbing was nearing her wits' end. She was about to speak when suddenly she saw a figure flash in front of the car.

Even though she was startled, her instinct was to slam on the gas pedal.

Screech!!!

The piercing sound of brakes came, and the car stopped steadily by the roadside.

Xia Nianbing sat in the driver's seat, her face pale, with only one thought in her mind.

I've hit someone!

Yin Tian also frowned slightly, then unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

In front of the car lay a person on the ground, surrounded by scattered vegetables, whilst the person on the ground kept rolling, emitting agonizing howls of pain.

Yin Tian just glanced at the scene, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

An act.

He had already made his judgment.

On the other side, Xia Nianbing got out of the car as well, still pale, standing there at a loss.

"Compensate, compensate..."

The person kept rolling and shouting incessantly.

And the incident here also attracted many passersby to gather around.

"Don't get excited; I will compensate," Xia Nianbing said quickly, having never encountered such an incident before, "I will surely make sure you're treated until you're fully recovered."

Upon hearing Xia Nianbing's words, the person inside couldn't help but chuckle quietly.

Just as expected.

People who drive luxury cars are those who aren't short of money.

Coming across such a naive mark is a rare chance; definitely should swindle a hefty sum!

"Medical fees, compensation, lost wages..."

The person's eyes flickered, "I'm not an unreasonable person, just pay 100,000 RMB, and we can call it even."

"100,000?"

Xia Nianbing let out a breath.

She thought it would be much more; if it's just 100,000, isn't that just equivalent to one less handbag?

She took out her phone, ready to transfer the money to the person, but Yin Tian suddenly spoke up, "If you had asked for less, I wouldn't have said anything. After all, everyone's trying to make a living out here."

"But opening your mouth and asking for 100,000, isn't that a bit too much?"

Yin Tian was gritting his teeth in frustration.

He himself didn't even have 100,000 in his pocket, and here someone was lying on the ground, rolling around, and making 100,000, isn't that a bit too excessive?

"What are you implying? Are you calling me a scammer?"

The person blinked and then continued to make a scene, "Help! Murder! This man hit someone and won't pay, he's calling me a scammer!"

The surrounding onlookers also started pointing fingers at Yin Tian.

"Driving a 911, and you won't pay up after causing such a scene?"

"Everyone has a human heart; does this guy have a heart of stone?"

"Are all rich people like this? Hmph!"

The crowd criticized Yin Tian as if he were a heinous person.

On the other side, Xia Nianbing's brows were furrowed tightly; she didn't want to see Yin Tian being attacked by the crowd.

"Isn't it just 100,000 RMB? I'll give it to you."

"Don't rush."

Yin Tian stopped Xia Nianbing once again; he squatted on the ground, looking at the person on the ground, "You've trained specifically for swindling, haven't you?"

"Then take a look at this."

Yin Tian spoke, and as he did so, two of his fingers came together and quickly poked towards the leg of the person lying on the ground.

The crowd hadn't even realized what Yin Tian had done.

But they saw the person suddenly cry out, leaping straight up from the ground...
