PNB Chapter 6 A Lie Made in Kind
Chapter 6 A Lie Made in Kind
After his chin was finally relieved from being pinched for so long, Lin Zheng complained, "You're pinching me to death! What are you doing?!"
If I wasn't mistaken for someone else just now, was there a woman's voice in the warehouse?
Although the voice wasn't loud, I must have heard correctly.
[Changed the ending progress by 0.1%]
You have gained one skill point.
You can select an item to enhance in the following panel and obtain the corresponding initial skill.
System sound?!
My God, System! It's been half a month since I transmigrated, and you're finally making some noise! I thought you were fast asleep.
It seems that my efforts over the past two weeks have finally been validated.
With this progress, I guess I won't die today, right?
However... the fact that I didn't die only affected the ending by 0.1% suggests that my original self really wasn't very useful in this book.
The current skill point allocation panel is as follows:
[Strength: 0]
【Energy: 0】
[Trait: 0]
Available skill points: 1
Just these three things? Is it that simple?
Force is easy to understand, but what is energy? Is it the kind of energy you have seven times a night? And what about special traits? Why isn't there even a detailed explanation of that?
However, once these three attributes are laid out, the choice seems obvious.
Although the third one might not be very useful, curiosity is a human trait, and the first two seem even less useful in the current situation, so let's go all in.
Add points to special traits!
[Congratulations, host, for activating your trait and gaining basic skills]
A white lie
The effect of a white lie is that, without harming the other party or infringing on their interests, even if your words have minor flaws, they will not doubt you and will subconsciously ignore the errors and choose to believe your lie.
Oh? Isn't this a weapon specifically designed for use against the enemy?!
The description makes it seem like it has no effect, but in Lin Zheng's opinion, it is the most useful ability right now!
You should know that you've only been in this world for half a month, and in those half a month you've done a lot of things in secret to change the plot.
However, due to doing too much in a short period of time, there are also countless loopholes.
The most direct result is that all the changes were made within the last two weeks, and I am completely different from who I was two weeks ago.
Therefore, if the other party has a comprehensive understanding of the situation, they will easily realize that something is wrong with them.
With this ability, especially for Jiang Huaimeng, fooling this love-starved girl would be a piece of cake!
After all, he had no intention of harming her; he was only trying to protect himself. All his lies were perfectly designed to trigger the trait effect!
Light footsteps approached Lin Zheng, who felt someone coming to loosen his restraints.
It was loosened, but not completely loosened. It just made the originally tight nylon rope a little looser, making Lin Zheng feel more comfortable, and his hands and feet would no longer be marked with red marks.
Lin Zheng said, "Finally, I can catch my breath. This is how it should be. If you want money, just give it to me. It would be better if everyone could get along peacefully."
The other person's voice was different from the one who had just asked me the question; it was a different person.
"Who says otherwise, Young Master Lin? It's all my brother's fault for being so loud and disrespectful to you just now. I sent him away to attend to other things. My brother apologizes to you on his behalf, and I hope Young Master Lin won't take it to heart. But from what you just said about money, what do you mean by 'the money hasn't reached your hands yet'? Does Young Master Lin not have any money on hand lately?"
Lin Zheng was speechless.
Still trapped, still trapped!
So the hard approach is over and now it's the soft one, huh?
Do you really think I can't understand? On the surface, it seems like she's concerned about money, but in reality, this is probably Jiang Huaimeng's intention: to ask why I only called the expert and didn't make an investment.
Lin Zheng used his new ability to make up stories, and sighed:
"Seeing your temperament, brother, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, despite my fame in Jiangcheng, I have very little money at my disposal. My family only gives me about 300,000 to 400,000 yuan a month for pocket money, and nothing else."
This little bit of money isn't even enough for drinking, let alone starting a business. I usually have to borrow money to get by, and I still owe my friends a lot of money.
The visitor followed his superior's instructions:
"I see, that makes sense. But if that's the case, then Young Master Lin said he's prepared the money to invest in the hospital. Where did that money come from? Did he borrow it from a friend? Investing in a hospital of this caliber is no small matter; I doubt it'll be easy without at least ten million."
Lin Cheng emphasized:
"Ten million? What can that little bit of money do? The experts I've found are all top-tier professionals, both domestic and international! It would cost several thousand more than that. Of course, I can't lend that much money, and no one would lend me that much anyway."
He suddenly felt melancholy:
"Actually, it's just like what that person who threatened me said. Although I'd be happy to marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, that doesn't mean I'm not a tool for the family."
I know perfectly well that neither my family nor my fiancée's family treats us like human beings; they only say nice things on the surface. So, since my family is so cruel to me, I'm definitely going to make a killing off them before I get married!
Lin Zheng smiled, seemingly explaining to the other party, but in reality, he was speaking entirely to Jiang Huaimeng:
"I've talked to my parents and brother about this. Once I get married, my family will give me a large sum of money as start-up capital for our new home."
My plan is to invest this money in the hospital, using every last penny to cure my wife's illness! Even if we lose money, so be it; but if she recovers, I'll have a business too, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
The person who untied him nodded: "Young Master Lin is truly a man of deep feelings. He's investing his life savings. It's rare to see someone do this for their wife. Even I don't have that kind of awareness. As a man, I can only wish Young Master Lin success."
"See, I told you you understood me better than that guy. You can still understand me," Lin Zheng sighed and shook his head.
"Sigh, it's hard to be a good man. There are misunderstandings everywhere, and I'm doing all this behind everyone's back, trying to surprise her. Do you think if I really succeed, she'll be so excited that she won't leave my side? Haha."
The men dared not speak.
Secretary Xiaoxi couldn't even imagine what President Jiang would do; it was simply impossible.
Jiang Huaimeng, who was in the car, had already completely given up any intention to kill.
Hearing these words now, even though he didn't say anything, a strange sense of joy welled up inside him.
I found it very interesting.
She had never imagined in the past twenty years that a real man could do this for her, and that he had taken so much money from his family under the guise of marriage, intending to invest it all in the hospital.
For the sake of my illness... I have no complaints even if it's all for nothing.
This fairytale-like plot, which seemed like a story, actually came to life before my very eyes one day.
A man would go to such lengths for someone who isn't even a normal person.
Even the tone of Jiang Huaimeng's voice sounded different to her personal secretary at this moment.
She spoke softly from inside the car:
"One last question for him: Did he just say he liked me several times? What's going on? I've never met him before, and I've never helped him with anything. Why would he like me, and even be willing to do so much for me unconditionally?"
