Chapter 22: Cold Reading Max
"Brother! Thank you so much! You saved my life!" Lin Li said, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Huang Ji replied calmly, "It wasn’t that serious. What you went through was hardly a big deal."
"No, no, you don’t understand. I was about to lose my mind!" Lin Li leaned against the wall, exhaling deeply.
"Why didn’t you call the police?" Huang Ji asked.
Lin Li’s decision to take the blame had been utterly foolish. In reality, those thugs wouldn’t have dared do much to him.
"I couldn’t. If the police got involved, the school would find out…" Lin Li trailed off.
Huang Ji smirked slightly. He already understood why Lin Li had chosen to take the fall.
This guy was ridiculously stubborn. He would rather swallow his losses than let anyone at his school know he had been scammed. Huang Ji had an incredibly detailed grasp of Lin Li’s character.
