Phantasmal Genesis - Chapter 21: Being Schemed.

Meng Ke tried hard to suppress his tumultuous emotions, trying to maintain a stable and efficient state of mind.

He needed to think!

Meng Ke breathed in, inhaling a large amount of oxygen was conductive to brain functioning, calming people down. Not to mention that it can also help in keeping one’s mind clear.

Firstly, Meng Ke ruled out Lin Chenxi from the suspect list, this girl had fainted because of him, there was no doubt about this.

The moment she fainted, the crowd starting watching, while Meng Ke was stopped right before he left by the women, who kept taunting and mocking him, but eventually let him be.

However, before he could even take two steps away, he was stopped by another person.

The timing of this person was very accurate.

If Meng Ke was successfully ridiculed and got angry, then what might follow was the muscular man teaching the scumbag a lesson out of righteousness, and the girl who was rescued would be grateful to him.

Coupled with Lin Chenxi who had fainted, he had an inkling that he would be tossed to the police station by the angry crowd.

But then………

What was their purpose?

Just because they didn’t like him?

Meng Ke squinted his eyes and silently stood in his place.

He still felt it couldn’t be that simple, this man and women had to have some way such that their plan would perfectly connect with him.

Meng Ke looked back and forth between the two and secretly activated his ability to read minds through illusions.

“To encounter such a thing while going out shopping, I am destined to live a rich and worry-free life.”

“It’s easy to deal with people who are in a coma, and when the time comes to go to the hospital, my uncle would have the final say over the check-up.”

“After the tests are done, there will be at least three to four thousand yuan added to my account.”

“By the time she wakes up, they’ll be almost done with the checking.”

“It’s good that her boyfriend is here, otherwise I wouldn’t know who to ask for money!”……

The mocking woman laughed proudly in her heart, she looked at Meng Ke as if he was a fat sheep up for slaughtered. However, what she didn’t know was that, her thoughts have already been seen through by Meng Ke.

“……”

Meng Ke face darkened, he didn’t know whether should he call himself unlucky or not, to think he would bump into this kind of scheme when he went out.

However, he realised that there were still people who dared to scheme against him?

Meng Ke began to think about retaliation, and the gaze overlooking the woman gradually became strange and inexplicable, making people feel goosebumps rising up the moment they met his eyes..

Even before Meng Ke got his ability, no one had dared to scheme against him, as for those that had, none of them had a good ending.

Just as he was thinking, an ambulance drove up and two people wearing a white coat stepped out of the ambulance.

“Doctor, over here! Someone fainted here!” The woman beckoned the doctor, shouting loudly.

The two of them first evacuated the crowd, and then began to conduct a simple examination on Lin Chenxi, who had fainted on the ground.

Meng Ke looked at the movements of the two white coats, and suddenly thought of something, he started supressing the excess hormones in Lin Chenxi’s body and used his ability to wake her up from the coma.

“Hmm…”

Before they could even bring the stretcher over, Lin Chenxi, who was in a coma, had already opened his eyes in confusion.

Meng Ke knew that as soon as she woke up, this game would be over.

However, Meng Ke still let her body secrete hormones, though only in slight quantity, such that they were not as intense and aggressive as before.

Sure enough, the moment she woke up and saw the crowd surrounding her, she hurriedly sat up, and looked around.

Seeing Meng Ke’s figure still standing there, Lin Chenxi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“You passed out, are you alright?” The woman came over again, looking at her with concern.

Right now, Lin Chenxi only wanted to get closer to Meng Ke, so she couldn’t to get this over and done with.

“It’s okay, I…”

“How could it okay?!” The muscle man suddenly interrupted her and said quickly: “If you have nothing to do, go to the hospital for an examination! You fainted on the street just now!”

The surrounding crowd immediately chimed in.

“That’s right! Little sister, even if you feel fine, it’s better to go to the hospital for a check-up! Everyone saw you passing out all of a sudden!”

“How can passing out be considered alright?! You’d never know what kind of disease you might have!”

“One must take care of their body while they’re young, little girl!”

……

“Hey?”

Lin Chenxi looked around blankly, she was a little hesitant and just when she was about agree to their suggestion, she was interrupted again.

Meng Ke looked at the crowd coldly, and suddenly said: “Aren’t you all afraid of helping the bad guys with your good intentions? Even going to the hospital once would cost at least a few thousand yuan and in the end the result would show that there is nothing wrong with her body.”

After that, he looked at Lin Chenxi again.

“Trust me, I can assure you that you’re okay, and there’s no need to go to the hospital.”

People in love were blind and they don’t require any reason, all her hesitation flew away into the wind because of Meng Ke’s words, even if they were still strangers.

Lin Chenxi looked at his face blankly, and nodded solemnly.

“I believe you.”

Meng Ke sneered and looked at the woman who still wanted to continue speaking.

“I have no idea what you do for a living but I am sure that this is not the first time you’ve done this.”

Just these few words were enough attract the onlookers, not to mention the perfect cooperation between the two of them.

He was afraid that this man and woman have done this way too many times.

“What are you talking about? What did I do?!”

“Did I do bad things with good intentions? Hehe. The woman looked at him unhappily.

Taking a good look at the woman, Meng Ke looked back at Lin Chenxi, and asked steadily: “Were you looking for me?”

Because there was no hormones affecting her, Lin Chenxi behaviour was also a lot calmer, but nonetheless her cheeks were still stained with a light shade of red..

“Can I add your WeChat?”

Meng Ke took out his mobile phone, scanned the code to add a friend, and then he said sincerely: “I’m sorry to have hurt you.”

Meng Ke looked at the woman, disregarding Lin Chenxi who was still confused by his words.

“You still refuse to admit it?”

“Admit what?” The woman asked, suddenly showing an expression of realization, and said to herself.

“Oh~~! I get it now! The two of you are actually scamming people!”

After speaking, she glanced at Lin Chenxi with disgust.

“Are you trying to scam money out of us?!”

“Everyone saw it! It was this girl who fainted by herself just now! It’s none of my business!”

The people around were also stunned, and the muscle man walked out.

“All of us can be witnesses for this beauty! Damn, to think he was tricking us!”

After he was done speaking, everyone looked at Meng Ke with a hint of gloominess flashing in their eyes.

Lin Chenxi was very confused, she couldn’t understand how had she scammed people? She didn’t do anything!

“Call the police!”

“Don’t let these two scammers run away!”

“They’ve even learned to trick people at such a young age, we must not let them leave!”

“Lao Tzu1 hates scammers the most!”

……

“I…am scamming people?”

Lin Chenxi looked blankly at the indignant crowd around her, feeling incredibly puzzled.

Soon, more and more people gathered around, casually inquiring about what was happening.

Oh! It turned out that I caught two scammers!

“Disgusting people!”
