Do I look easy to fool

Seeing the message from Li Muhan, Su Yang froze for a second before immediately replying.

"Muhan, don't panic. Send me your address, I'll be right there."

"Okay, we're at No. 189, Linwu Village, Yunhai Avenue, Shanyun District." After replying, Li Muhan sent her location.

"Alright, I'm coming right now!" Su Yang said, locking his phone. He quickly threw on his clothes and got up.

He went to the door, snatched the room card from the wall slot, pulled the door open, and sprinted out.

"What's going on? Weren't there still more than two days left? How did things suddenly take a turn for the worse!"

Su Yang muttered to himself as he ran.

Although this was just a side quest, and the monetary reward wasn't high compared to other quests.

But at this very moment, the meaning of the situation had changed. The quest itself was no longer that important to him; he just wanted to get there quickly and save her.

Even though he had only met Li Muhan and Chen Xiaowan once and had no real emotional connection with them.

They were acquaintances, after all.

In life, if someone accidentally fell into the water, a kind-hearted stranger would jump in without hesitation to save them, let alone Su Yang.

He hurried to the elevator lobby and took the elevator downstairs.

This was the first time in a long while that he felt somewhat powerless. In the past, whenever anyone around him had an accident, he was right there and could step in in time.

But now, he was miles away from the two sisters. He was genuinely afraid that she would be gone before he even arrived.

A young life of only eleven years old—her life hadn't even truly begun. From the bottom of his heart, Su Yang didn't want to see this happen.

Ding.

The elevator doors opened, and Su Yang darted out, sprinting toward the hotel entrance.

Reaching the street, he waved at every taxi he saw, but Lincheng was notoriously congested.

Even though it was quite late, the downtown streets were still bustling with heavy traffic.

All the taxis displayed the "Occupied" sign; there wasn't a single empty one.

If he hailed a ride-share, he would have to wait. There were just too many vehicles on his road, and it would take at least seven or eight minutes for a car to navigate through the traffic to reach him.

"Damn it, don't panic, don't panic." Su Yang looked around. Catching a cab seemed highly unlikely.

And even if he got into a car, he would be stuck in traffic. The only way now was to take an electric scooter or a motorcycle.

A few electric scooters zipped by on the side of the road from time to time. Su Yang waved and shouted, but no one stopped. It seemed none of them were illegal taxi drivers looking to make a quick buck.

"Phew." Su Yang took a deep breath and raised his wrist to check the time. Five minutes had passed since Li Muhan sent the message.

It was 8.7 kilometers from the hotel to where they lived. Even under normal driving conditions, it would take over ten minutes.

Just as Su Yang was about to run to a less congested street to try and hail a scooter, a motorcycle happened to drive over.

Vroom! Vroom! The motorcycle let out an explosive roar.

Su Yang turned his head and saw that the rider was a girl wearing a dark gray jacket and a black helmet.

The girl was riding a red and black Ducati V4, and she happened to stop right in front of Su Yang.

After parking the bike, she swung her leg over and dismounted with a cool, effortless grace.

Then, she took off her helmet and shook out her flowing long hair, revealing a fair and delicate side profile.

Su Yang naturally noticed her, but he was in no mood to admire her figure or looks. His eyes were fixed on the girl's motorcycle as an idea popped into his head.

While he was thinking, the girl, holding her helmet in one hand and casually fixing her hair with the other, started walking toward the convenience store next to the hotel.

With no time to overthink, Su Yang immediately walked up and called out, "Miss! Can I bother you for a minute?"

Hearing the shout, the girl turned and looked around. Seeing that Su Yang was the only one nearby, she pointed at herself. "Are you calling me?"

"Well, there's no one else here right now."

"Do you know me?"

"I don't know you, but I have an incredibly urgent matter right now, a matter of life and death..." Su Yang hadn't even finished speaking.

The girl frowned slightly and said, "If you don't know me, why are you telling me all this? Bye."

"Hey! Don't go, wait, wait, wait." Su Yang hurriedly ran in front of her to block her path. "Don't go just yet, miss. Look, I'll just get straight to the point. Can I borrow your bike?"

Hearing this, the girl was completely dumbfounded. She had thought Su Yang was acting a bit strange earlier, assuming this was some new pickup line. But now she realized this guy was actually scheming to take her motorcycle.

"I mean, you look pretty handsome, and you're not that old. Why don't you find a proper job instead of coming out here to run scams like other people? Do I look that easy to fool?" the girl glared at Su Yang and demanded.

"Phew." Su Yang rubbed his forehead. "I can't explain it in just a few words. Open your phone and give me your WeChat payment code."

"What do you want to do?"

"I'll transfer money to you."

"What?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Su Yang. Then she walked a circle around him and added, "You're covered in designer brands. They aren't fakes, are they?"

"No, I really don't have time to talk about anything else. There's no time left. Open your QR code, I'll transfer money to you. No scammer trying to steal money would send money to their victim first, right?"

"Heh, I've actually seen that before. But fine, whatever. I'm just giving you my payment code anyway. Let's see how much you can transfer."

The girl took out her phone, opened her WeChat payment code, and held it up to Su Yang.

Seeing this, Su Yang hurriedly pulled out his own phone, opened WeChat, and scanned the QR code.

A beep sounded.

Su Yang quickly transferred 5,000 yuan. Because it was a personal account, he could only transfer 5,000 at a time, but the daily limit was 200,000.

Seeing that she had inexplicably received 5,000 bucks, the girl was completely stunned.

"Bro? Are you serious? You're not trying to extort me, are you?" Just as she said this, Su Yang grabbed her hand and scanned the QR code again.

A few seconds later, another 5,000 yuan arrived in her account.

"Holy crap?"

"Again!" Su Yang was about to scan it once more, but the girl got nervous. She quickly hid her hand behind her back and looked at Su Yang.

"No, seriously, what are you trying to do?"

"I told you I have an emergency, a really urgent one. You can see the road right now; it's impossible to get a cab. So I want to borrow your bike. Don't worry, I'm absolutely not a scammer!! I swear!!"

"Then... where are you going?"

"I'm going to Yunhai Avenue."

"Yunhai Avenue... that's a bit far from here," the girl said thoughtfully.

"Yes! My friend's little sister is about to stop breathing. Sis!! Miss!! Can you please just lend me your bike? My riding skills are great, I won't break your bike. And even if I do, I can compensate you. I can buy you as many as you want!!"

"Really?"

"Really!!" Su Yang said anxiously.

However, the girl was still a bit skeptical. She rolled her eyes and said, "How about you wait for me for two minutes? I'll buy something, and then I'll consider it my good deed for the day and give you a ride there."

"No need, no need, just give me the bike. Come on, let's add each other on WeChat first," Su Yang said as he pulled the girl's hand from behind her back.

"Wait, let me do it." The girl pulled up her QR code.

The two added each other as friends. Terrified that she still wouldn't believe him, Su Yang transferred another hundred thousand yuan to her.

"Can you give me the keys now? I'm really running out of time. If I wait any longer, the guy will probably have already reincarnated."
