Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1582 - 866: What If I Go All Out?
Previously on Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation...
"Ah, it’s fake?"
From a distance, Chen Siyu spotted the beggar rubbing furiously at the vehicle.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Siqing voiced her concern: "No, that’s not right!"
"What if the beggar spends it and the store owner fails to spot the fake cash?"
That would be too harsh!
Jiang Ning gave a small nod: "Good point, that’s a very good question."
Instead, Chen Siyu shot a look at her sibling and schooled her: "Silly sister, did you forget that Jiang Ning is the Great Magician?"
Chen Siqing abruptly understood; with that in mind, the counterfeit bill had to be modified in a special way, maybe using methods akin to invisible messages appearing on blank sheets under vinegar, ensuring that anyone bold enough to spend it would get caught immediately.
Her thoughts turned to magic, bringing back memories of those brilliant, sparkling bursts she'd witnessed earlier, which made her eyes sparkle as she gazed at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning felt pretty pleased.
All at once, Chen Siyu inquired, "I know another secret technique, can you do it?"
Jiang Ning: "What secret technique?"
Chen Siyu blurted out rapidly, "The Time Stopping Technique!"
Jiang Ning admitted he couldn’t.
Chen Siyu appeared rather let down.
After wandering with them a bit longer, Jiang Ning announced, "I’ll take you to a fun place."
Trusting his words, the twins climbed aboard Jiang Ning’s electric scooter.
As Jiang Ning activated the scooter’s lights, the sleek ride turned even more attention-grabbing.
New Year’s was fast approaching, filling the streets with throngs of people, while traffic officers at each junction worked to clear paths. Despite the chaos, the scooter glided smoothly like a fish in water, cleverly picking optimal routes to slip quickly through the masses.
"Sister, Jiang Ning’s skills are amazing!" Chen Siyu exclaimed.
"Mm-hmm, so smooth." Chen Siqing added without thinking.
The corner of Jiang Ning’s mouth quirked; feigning innocence, he replied, "It’s mainly because you two are holding on tightly, giving me the room to maneuver."
Inwardly, the twins grumbled, uncertain if Jiang Ning did it on purpose.
Jiang Ning whisked the two girls along, racing like a streak of lightning through the vibrant city.
With the New Year’s break underway, numerous young folks had returned from out-of-town jobs after a tough year’s labor. They dusted off their unused electric bikes, leading to an increase in ‘Ghost Fire’ riders blasting their engines down the roads, a few even pulling off daring wheelies.
Observing these uncommon group rides, Jiang Ning figured that once he headed back to Yuzhou after the holidays, he ought to join in thoroughly.
A pair of ‘Ghost Fire’ bikers on e-scooters saw Jiang Ning ferrying two girls and assumed he was part of their crowd, eager to team up. Sadly, they stood no chance of keeping up, reduced to shouting insults from afar.
Ever the generous sort, Jiang Ning paid them no mind and simply laid down a couple of tire tracks.
In short order, Jiang Ning halted outside a housing complex.
Chen Siyu questioned in confusion, "Jiang Ning, why did you bring us here?"
Jiang Ning: "To play something fun."
Chen Siyu winked at her sister, while Chen Siqing shared the bewilderment.
Growing impatient, Chen Siyu silently formed two words with her lips.
Through their deep connection, Chen Siqing deciphered it as ‘homestay.’
As keen online surfers, they understood perfectly that their age barred them from hotel check-ins, yet homestays in these loosely regulated areas posed no such problems.
Their hearts raced with a mix of jitters and worry.
Jiang Ning eyed the pair: "What are you thinking? I’m taking you for revenge, the person who scammed you lives in this neighborhood."
With that explanation, he guided them inside the complex.
"Oh..." Chen Siyu drew out the sound, revealing a hint of letdown.
Grasping her sister’s hand, she hurried after Jiang Ning, turning into an eager admirer: "You’re amazing, unlike me, I can’t do anything."
Jiang Ning: "It’s nothing much."
He located building number 4, hit the elevator button, and ascended directly to the 16th floor alongside the twins.
...
16th floor, west unit, second bedroom.
Wearing his glasses, Lai Tianyou fixed his gaze on the monitor, cheeks red with thrill, locked in a heated online spat with another netizen:
"Hahaha, you even ask me to delete the post, who do you think you are?"
Dai Lebaji: "Do you think it’s right to casually expose others online?"
Lai Tianyou eyed the recognizable screen name, flashbacks hitting him of the severe ordeal it had caused—doxxed and shaken down for money, forced to swallow his pride.
To his surprise, while he was sharing his post that day, this very handle popped up attempting to talk him down.
Lai Tianyou had switched his forum profile long ago, embracing a fresh persona, and now he buzzed with anticipation at facing his former foe: "What are you boasting about? Do you believe I can have you doxxed right now? Aren’t you studying at Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School?"
Having gone through it personally, he grasped fully the dread of doxxing!
Dai Lebaji: "?"
Bursting with excitement, Lai Tianyou challenged: "Do you believe I can expose your grade and name again?"
Confronting the rival who had once tormented him, Lai Tianyou mocked loudly: "Didn’t you say I was exposing others? I’m telling you, soon I’ll post your school, home address, name, and photos!"
Dai Lebaji: "You try it."
Lai Tianyou: "Hahaha, just wait, I’m about to arfrj..."
While caught up in his elation, Lai Tianyou’s face got smashed against the keyboard, producing a jumble of nonsense.
The shocked twins positioned themselves right behind him.
Just prior, they’d lingered by the doorway, ready to let Jiang Ning knock, yet he casually yanked it open without effort.
That led straight into the ensuing drama.
Thanks to her keen vision, Chen Siyu identified this guy as the pesky forum poster.
"Damn it, who are you..." Lai Tianyou flailed his arms in resistance but got lifted effortlessly, like a fledgling snatched by a hawk.
Jiang Ning dangled him in front of the twins and queried, "Is it him?"
With her vast movie knowledge, Chen Siyu, a pro at spotting faces, ID’d him instantly: "It’s him, he was wearing a hat before, but it’s definitely him who scammed my money!"
Lai Tianyou straightened his crooked glasses and spotted the twins too. In his sheer terror mixed with baffled shock, he demanded: "How did you find me?"
