Chapter 1066: Drama King 2
The two of them sat down in a bar. “What are you here for? We seldom have foreigners here.”
“Looking for business.”
“Business? You?” The man laughed hysterically as if he had heard a joke. Ye Ling looked so devastated. He looked nothing like a man who was here for business. The man looked down on him.
“I heard there are many gold bars here. Many gold bars buried in the desert,” Ye Ling said. “Two years ago, a bank robber was nabbed. He took a helicopter, and it crashed here.”
“Oh, I heard of it too,” The man said. “It was a huge deal back then. What does this have to do with those gold bars?”
Ye Ling said, “To be honest, I just got out of jail. I was in the same one as him. When he was drunk, he said that the international police did not even get hold of the gold bars. After he fell off the plane, he hid the gold bars. He was only caught two days later. The gold is still left lying around in the desert.”
His voice was not too loud or too soft. The others in the bar eavesdropped curiously.
One of the ladies laughed. “Bro, you have been imprisoned before? What did you do? You don’t look like an offender.”
He looked like a scapegoat.
Ye Ling said, “Murder.”
The masses were shocked. Murderer?
“Murder?”
Ye Ling said, “My wife cheated on me. While I was away, she f*cked with others. I got so mad I killed the other dude.”
He hit his leg. “This is what I have left behind. One dead, one injured. It’s a gain!”
“…” Everyone looked at him in shock.
“You committed murder. How many years were you sentenced to? How are you released so soon?”
“It’s a negligent homicide. I wasn’t sentenced to too many years. We were a little rich, so I was released in eight years through some connections. Oh, it’s such a pity. Times are different now. Without money, nothing can be done.”
Ye Ling had earphones on.
Jack and Mu Yuan heard his storytelling.
Mu Yuan could not help but curse. “How is he so talkative when he puts on another face? It’s so hard to get a word out of him usually. I swear this is the longest sentence I’ve ever heard from Ling.”
Jack tried to hold in his laughter.
He described everything so vividly as if it really happened.
The masses felt pity for this bushy Ye Ling. The town citizens said, “Bro, you lost money. You just have to earn it back again. I’d believe that you have been cheated about the gold.”
“Right, he must have lied to you. Return soon. There is only… there is nothing in the desert.”
The bushy beard covered half of Ye Ling’s face. He had a weird accent, so no one suspected him. He sounded really depressed. It was like he was blaming something.
He was a normal depressed, lame middle-aged man.
When he walked, his back was a little hunchback as well.
“No, he is really good to me. He wouldn’t cheat me,” Ye Ling said. “I want the gold. He has been stuck in prison for his whole life, and he will never be released. If I take the gold, I might be able to save him.”
“Wow, I never thought that you were so brotherly. Do you know where the gold is?”
Ye Ling looked alarmed as if he was afraid that others would know where the gold bars were. He kept quiet and no longer spoke.
The previously enchanting woman asked for whiskey. “Bro, for you.”
Ye Ling looked at the whiskey and smelled it greedily.
“I haven’t smelled this in… okay, okay, okay! Before I fell into such a state, I drank this every day.” He gave off a greedy expression and also looked like he was reminiscent of something. The woman was so enchanting. She pushed the man opposite Ye Ling away and sat in front of him. She looked at him with flirtatious eyes. “Bro, when you drink my alcohol, you are mine. Where is the gold? We shall split it.”
