The Personal Bodyguard of the School Belle

"This..." The man with a crew cut suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He subconsciously touched his pocket and then said, "I don't have that much money with me either. How about you give me 30,000 yuan, and you can go claim the prize?"

"I don't have it either! What should we do now..." The man with pockmarked face said with a worried look, "Look at me. Do I look like someone who can take out 30,000 yuan?"

"Teacher, please help us think of a way. Neither of us has that much money!" The man with pockmarked face once again asked the man with glasses for help.

The man with glasses pondered for a while and then tentatively said, "How about I give each of you 30,000 yuan, and you give me the pull ring, and I'll go claim the prize?"

The man with pockmarked face and the man with a crew cut looked at each other. They thought that in this way, each of them could still get 30,000 yuan, so they agreed, "Okay, let's do it this way!"

The man with glasses immediately showed a look of secret joy. Then he took his briefcase and started looking for the money. At first, he was still very happy. However, as the speed of rummaging through the bag increased, the man with glasses' face became uglier and uglier, and sweat began to seep out on his forehead. Finally, he let out a sigh and said, "Damn it. I didn't bring much money when I went out today. I only have 30,000 yuan! You definitely won't sell it. It's so unlucky that the money that was almost in our hands is gone like this!"

"Ah?" Both the man with pockmarked face and the man with a crew cut were stunned. The man with glasses didn't have the money, and they didn't have it either. How could they divide the prize money? So, the man with pockmarked face couldn't sit still anymore: "Teacher, you are learned and cultured. Please help us think of another way..."

"Alas, how about this? Let's ask someone else..." The man with glasses said and turned his face to Lin Yi, who was sitting beside him, "Little brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune. Do you have any money? Give each of them 30,000 yuan first, and then you can take the pull ring to claim the prize. You can earn 20,000 yuan at once! Is there any more profitable way than this? If I had brought money, I would have taken this good thing for myself..."

Before this, Lin Yi had been watching the three of them acting coldly. It was obvious that these three people were in the same group. The man with pockmarked face was the first party, the man with a crew cut was the second party, and the man with glasses was a decoy.

Although Lin Yi grew up in the mountains, he was not a fool. Although he was dressed plainly, in terms of knowledge, few people could match him, let alone these three unskilled scammers.

"Me?" Lin Yi pretended to be very surprised and pointed at himself, then said, "Can I do it?"

"Yes, now this good thing has come to you!" When the man with glasses heard Lin Yi ask if he could do it instead of saying that he didn't have the money either, he was overjoyed. You know, those who said this were most likely to have money in their bags.

Just as Lin Yi was about to say something more, he felt a kick on his leg. Lin Yi glanced to his right out of the corner of his eye. It was a very beautiful girl, about the same age as Lin Yi.

Her hair was as smooth as water, and her skin was fair. Although she didn't stand up, according to Lin Yi's estimate, the girl was at least about 1.65 meters tall, which was considered tall.

Since getting on the train, she had been quietly listening to her MP3. Lin Yi had originally wanted to strike up a conversation with her and chat to relieve the boredom on the way, but unfortunately, the girl had been wearing earplugs all the time, leaving Lin Yi with no chance to start.

At this moment, the girl was looking at Lin Yi with a worried expression, wanting to say something but also a bit hesitant. She could only hint at Lin Yi with her eyes.

Lin Yi naturally knew what the girl meant, that is, not to let him be deceived. Lin Yi's heart suddenly warmed. Didn't they say that people in big cities were very indifferent and would just turn a blind eye to things that didn't concern them? But the girl's reminder showed that she had a kind heart.

So, the girl's image in Lin Yi's mind suddenly improved a lot. Of course, it was important for a girl to be beautiful, but if she had a vicious heart, no matter how beautiful she was, it was of no use. This was Lin Yi's criterion for judging girls.

"Ahem!" The man with a crew cut opposite the girl seemed to have noticed the girl's behavior and suddenly coughed loudly, giving the girl a fierce glare. The girl turned pale with fright and lowered her head.

Of course, these small details couldn't escape Lin Yi's eyes. However, Lin Yi was bored during the journey. He had been very angry with the old man at home and had nowhere to vent his anger. Just then, a few idiots came to his door. How could Lin Yi miss the opportunity to play tricks on them?

Although the girl lowered her head, she still kicked Lin Yi with her foot to give him a warning. But Lin Yi seemed not to feel it at all and remained unmoved.

"I only have 49,000 yuan. I don't have that much!" Lin Yi pretended to be honest and said truthfully.

When the man with pockmarked face and the man with a crew cut opposite heard that Lin Yi had 49,000 yuan, their eyes suddenly lit up with a brilliant light. However, they still had a bitter look on their faces: "Only 49,000 yuan? Is it a bit too little? How much can we each get?"

"49,000 divided by two is 24,500..." The man with a crew cut calculated and said.

"24,500 yuan? That's not bad. I agree. How about you?" After hearing this, the man with pockmarked face quickly nodded and said.

"Okay, since you agree, then I agree too." The man with a crew cut nodded and said, "Give the money."

Lin Yi opened his backpack, took out a small package wrapped in newspaper from it, and opened it layer by layer. Inside, there were five stacks of bundled banknotes.

"This is 49,000 yuan. That's all I have... You can count it." Lin Yi said simply, "Give me the pull ring!"

This money was the living expenses for the next few years that the old man had given to Lin Yi. In the past few years, Lin Yi had earned a lot of money for the old man. Just take the assassination mission in North Africa last time. According to international practice, he should have been given at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in rewards.

However, when he was about to leave, the old man rummaged through a broken bag and found these 49,000 yuan, claiming that this was all the family property, and told him to use it sparingly.

This made Lin Yi very depressed. Did the old man really have no money, or was he pretending to be poor? But it didn't seem like he was pretending. The old man ate the same food as him every day, and he didn't see him enjoying anything. Could it be that he had overestimated the rewards for those missions?

"Okay, okay!" The man with pockmarked face and the man with a crew cut were like hungry wolves, dividing up the banknotes in front of them. Then they handed the pull ring to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi carefully put the pull ring on his body, as if he was afraid of losing it, and treated it like a treasure, being very careful.

Seeing that the three scammers had succeeded, the girl sitting beside Lin Yi let out a helpless sigh. Looking at Lin Yi's excited look as if he had won a prize, the girl really didn't know what to say.

With the money in hand, the three scammers returned to their previous calmness, acting as if they didn't know each other and doing their own things.
