Chapter 224: A Social Death

　　Before long.

　　Dong Shanhai sneaked out like a thief.

　　"Boss Lu, it's really amazing! My nose is full of the smell of stinky tofu, and I wasn't affected by that fragrance at all! When they weren't paying attention, I managed to place the magnet and cinnabar on the Taotie."

　　"The feng shui layout has been broken; let's wait and see the good show."

　　Lu Fei smiled slightly.

　　Everyone in the car waited excitedly.

　　Less than half an hour later, they heard a chaotic commotion coming from the beauty salon.

　　The beauty salon seemed to have exploded into chaos.

　　This bewitching fragrance can only work when combined with a feng shui layout, and since the feng shui layout has been broken, the deceived customers immediately came to their senses.

　　Realizing they had been swindled, each of them was incensed, and they all went to demand an explanation from Sister Feng.

　　Sister Feng, not knowing what had happened, tried to bluff her way through as usual, but she was grabbed by her hair and beaten by the furious crowd of customers.

　　Inside, there was a huge commotion, and some even started vandalizing the shop, which eventually brought in the police.

　　However, in the end, it was Sister Feng who was arrested.

　　It turned out that the products used in her beauty salon were all counterfeit and substandard.

　　The beauty salon had been very popular, and many of the customers were wealthy wives. How could these rich women let her off easily after discovering they had been duped?

　　She probably has a lot of hard times ahead!

　　"She deserves it!"

　　Everyone felt a great sense of relief, as if they had vented their pent-up frustration.

　　"Manager Lu, I, Dong Shanhai, failed to recognize your greatness before. I officially apologize to you here, hoping that you will not hold a grudge against me."

　　Lu Fei had resolved the feng shui arrangement so easily that Dong Shanhai was even more convinced of his abilities.

　　He promised to make amends and apologize, and he would keep his word.

　　Moreover, he used all his connections to publicly clarify the rumor that Sinisterium Pawnshop was a black market shop.

　　"Mr. Dong is being too modest,"

　　Lu Fei took out the pawn ticket and asked Dong Shanhai to sign it.

　　Beauty Blood Jade, live pledge.

　　After completing the procedures, two copies of the pawn ticket were made. Feeling apologetic, Dong Shanhai still gave Lu Fei 200,000 yuan as a handling fee.

　　This amount of money was not significant, but it represented his sincerity.

　　After dealing with Fengjie, it's now the turn of the online celebrity Bingbing.

　　Although the reputation of Sinisterium Pawnshop was not affected, it actually gained more fame thanks to the support of the Su family and Dong Shanhai's clarification.

　　But the accounts that need to be settled must still be settled.

　　Huzi was itching to go find someone, but Lu Fei remained calm, saying that Bingbing would come to them on her own.

　　Sure enough.

　　A couple of days later, Bingbing walked into Sinisterium Pawnshop in disguise.

　　"Manager Lu, I came a few days ago, but you weren't here. Have you considered the divine skin? Today there are no other customers, so we can talk openly about how you want to sell it."

　　As soon as she entered, she took off her long sun protection shirt, revealing a dress with very little fabric, not even covering her chest or back properly.

　　Her words sounded sincere, but Huzi felt disgusted and didn't even offer her tea.

　　"Miss Bingbing, do you really want this skin so much?" Lu Fei glanced at her indifferently.

　　"Manager Lu, you've seen my face before. It would take too much time to go to the hospital for repairs. I really need that divine skin. Please help me, and I will repay you."

　　Bingbing moved closer to Lu Fei, leaning half of her body on the counter.

　　"Manager Lu, money is one thing."

　　"Other conditions, no matter what, are all acceptable."

　　As she spoke, she even took off her sunglasses, revealing heavily made-up eyes, and winked at Lu Fei.

　　"Really anything?" Lu Fei smiled.

　　"Of course, anything!"

　　A hint of smugness flashed in Bingbing's eyes, and she wiggled her waist even more, emphasizing the last few words.

　　"I want you to die, can you do that?" Lu Fei smiled kindly.

　　"But..."

　　The smile in Bingbing's eyes instantly froze as she looked at Lu Fei in shock.

　　"Manager Lu, what do you mean by that?"

　　"Miss Bingbing should be able to understand plain words, right?" Lu Fei picked up his teacup and took a slow sip.

　　Bingbing's brows furrowed, and her eyes, wearing colored contacts, glanced at Lu Fei, her voice turning cold.

　　"Manager Lu, just say how much money you want! You should look around; who else would buy something like this besides me!"

　　"Is that so? I really want to see for myself!" Lu Fei put down his teacup.

　　"Let's see how long you can keep up this attitude!" Hu Zi sneered, opening the shop door.

　　"Come in!"

　　A shabbily dressed couple then walked in nervously.

　　Seeing them, Bingbing turned pale with panic and hurriedly put on her sunglasses and hat.

　　"Manager Lu, it's her! The person we met at the door that day is her. She told us that your place is a black market shop."

　　The couple exchanged a glance and mustered up the courage to point her out.

　　"You've got the wrong person." Bingbing kept retreating, even though she was wearing sunglasses and a mask, she still used her hand to cover her face.

　　"Manager Lu, we didn't get the wrong person; it's this voice. We were even grateful at the time, thinking she was doing it for our own good."

　　"We never thought she would be a liar!"

　　"You are such a hateful girl! I heard you are an internet celebrity, why did you deceive us?"

　　"Our child's face was scalded by boiling water, and we sought medical help everywhere. We finally heard that Sinisterium Pawnshop has a treasure..."

　　"Now, Manager Lu won't sell it to us, and it's all your fault!"

　　The couple grew more and more agitated as they reached out to grab Bingbing.

　　"You've got the wrong person!" Bingbing, not even properly wearing her sun-protective jacket, ran outside.

　　The couple chased after them.

　　During the scuffle on the street, Bingbing's hat and mask fell off, and her unspeakably ugly face was suddenly exposed to everyone on the street.

　　"What the hell! What's wrong with that woman's face?"

　　"Is that even a human face?"

　　In an instant, all the attention on the street was drawn to her.

　　"Don't look! Don't look!"

　　Bingbing screamed in panic, covering her face with both hands and ran away stumblingly.

　　But many passersby still managed to take photos of her.

　　That day.

　　The news of the female internet celebrity Bingbing's disfigured face went viral on the trending topics.

　　Social death is also a form of death.

　　Her past scandals were dug up, including betraying friends and bullying colleagues. Forget about entering the entertainment industry; she couldn't even be an internet celebrity anymore.

　　The necklace made of human bones attracted everyone's attention without discrimination. She lived in these gazes and died in these gazes...

　　After Bingbing left, the couple returned to Sinisterium Pawnshop and knelt, begging Lu Fei to sell them the fairy skin.

　　"Manager Lu, please save our child."

　　"Can you afford it?" Lu Fei asked with a calm expression.

　　"How much does it cost?" the man asked cautiously.

　　Hu Zi said, "The treasures in our Sinisterium Pawnshop are at least six figures."

　　"So much..." The couple exchanged embarrassed glances, "We only have a few ten thousand on hand. Can we pay on credit? Don't worry, we will work like oxen for the rest of our lives to pay back..."

　　"Sinisterium Pawnshop does not offer credit!" Lu Fei refused outright, "If you don't have money, you can exchange it for cursed objects! I run a business, not a charity. If I sold things out of pity, this business wouldn't be able to continue."

　　After seeing off the couple, Sinisterium Pawnshop returned to its usual tranquility.

　　"The number of evil objects collected so far has reached 12."

　　Lu Fei recorded it in the ledger and stretched out a big yawn.

　　"By the way, it's been more than half a month, is Jing Jian still not ready?"

　　Jing Jian remained without any movement, but Lu Fei heard the news that San Wei Tea House had reopened for business.

　　"Let's go to the tea house first, and inquire about the Ling Yin Association."
