Chapter 16 Freezing Rain in the Arctic
"What just happened?"
Lu Zi pretended to be stupid and asked.
Lin Chen was very satisfied with Lu Ziqiao's performance and said:
"Yes, nothing happened."
Coming out of 3601, Lu Ziqiao was still immersed in surprise.
"Oh my god, Lin Chen is so secretive! He secretly picked up Yifei!"
After a while of emotion, Lu Ziqiao replied to 3602.
He also had no intention of telling anything about Lin Chen and Hu Yifei. After all, he couldn't afford to offend either Lin Chen or Hu Yifei.
One can smash him to death with money, and the other can beat him to death with fists.

In Apartment 3601, Guan Gu Qi Qi walked in with a jar of garlic.
"Uuuuuuuuah, so pitiful!"
Lin Chen was putting the peeled orange into Hu Yifei's mouth and asked:
"Guangu, what's wrong with you?"
Guangu said sadly:
"There was freezing rain in Antarctica, and many polar bears froze to death."
"So, does this have anything to do with you holding a jar of garlic and crying so sadly?"
Lin Chen asked confusedly.
Hu Yifei was eating an orange and asked curiously:
"Guangu, if I remember correctly, polar bears are in the Arctic and penguins are in the Antarctic."
"What?"
Guan Gu magically raised his head and said in surprise.
"Guangu, please tell me what's going on?"
Lin Chen urged Guan Gu to be magical.
"What happened is, I was reading comics in 3602 just now. Then, I heard a knock on the door. I thought it was Meijia, Teacher Zeng, and Ziqiao who forgot to bring the key when they came back, so I opened the door."
"But, when I opened the door, I saw a child. He was holding this garlic sprout and told me that he was donating money for polar bears. He said that there was freezing rain in Antarctica and the polar bears were freezing to death. He asked me if I wanted to participate."
"At first, I was also confused as to why polar bears froze to death in the freezing rain in Antarctica. Later, after I chatted with him, I donated a thousand yuan in a daze. Then, he gave me this pot of garlic sprouts."
Lin Chen and Hu Yifei looked at each other after hearing this, and then laughed.
"Guan Gu, you clearly saw through his deception, yet you still donated money. I'm laughing so hard!"
Lin Chen slapped the sofa with his hand and mocked mercilessly.
The same goes for Hu Yifei:
"Hahaha, Guangu, you were actually fooled by a child!"
Guangu Qiqi looked depressed, feeling that it was a mistake for him to come to 3601.
I also wanted to seek some "comfort", but I was ridiculed by these two people.
"Okay, don't laugh. Next time, I will never donate again. I feel like a fool now."
Guangu Qiqi said depressedly.
Lin Chen stopped laughing, gently pushed Hu Yifei, who was still laughing, and comforted:
"Guangu, don't be depressed. I know you have good intentions, but you were just taken advantage of by a scammer. If you really want to show your love, you can donate to my charity foundation."
"Public welfare foundation? What is that?"
"That one is a public welfare organization specially established by me. Every year, 3% of the company's net income will go to my public welfare foundation. We will use the money for public welfare activities, just like what you just said
Our foundation is also involved in protecting animals.”
"Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be a good person."
Guan Gu magically praised.
Lin Chen asked speechlessly:
"Do I look like a bad guy?"
"No, I mean..."
Guan Gu Qingqi wanted to explain what he meant, but was interrupted by Lin Chen.
"Stop, I know what you mean, you don't need to explain."
Lin Chen didn't want Guan Gu to explain magically. If he explained it in Chinese, he would probably describe Lin Chen as a "heinous" good person.
Hu Yifei said angrily:
"Guangu, do you still remember the face of that child? He came out to deceive people at such a young age. It seems that I have to teach him a lesson!"
"His appearance...his appearance...Sorry, I forgot. I remembered it just now, but when you said it so suddenly, Yifei, I can't remember it."
Guangu Qiqi scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"Aww, the giraffe is so pitiful!"
Chen Meijia walked in holding two cans of garlic and said sadly.
Lin Chen asked:
"Mika, did you also meet a little boy? Then he said that there was freezing rain in Antarctica and polar bears were freezing to death. Finally, he asked you to donate money?"
Chen Meijia wiped her tears, nodded pitifully and said:
"No, it was freezing rain in Antarctica, and the giraffes froze to death. The giraffes are so pitiful! So I donated 1,500 yuan."
After saying that, she heard that Lin Chen's words were a bit strange, and asked in confusion:
"By the way, Lin Chen, why did you say so?"
Lin Chen said nothing and pointed to Guan Gu Mingqi beside him.
Guan Gu magically raised the garlic in his hand and put it together with Chen Meijia's.
"..."
Hu Yifei slapped Lin Chen's forehead and thigh hard and said angrily:
"This little guy is really good at it. He actually deceived you two adults! Now I'm going to ask the neighborhood committee and ask them to check the monitoring and find this little liar!"
Hu Yifei said and prepared to walk out.
Lin Chen grabbed her and said:
"How are you going to find him now? Maybe he has already run away. Besides, this kid must have deceived not only Meijia and Sekiya, but also other people."
"Let's first ask if anyone else in the apartment has been defrauded. Then we'll see if everyone has been defrauded of a large amount. If the amount reaches 3,000 yuan, we can call the police and file a case."
"Okay! Let's go ask now!"
——
As soon as they arrived downstairs at the apartment, the four of them met Lin Wanyu holding Garlic.
"Brother Chen, where are you going?"
Lin Chen pointed at the garlic held by Lin Wanyu and asked:
"Did you donate too?"
Lin Wanyu said happily:
"Yeah, a kid just showed me a photo. It's freezing rain in Antarctica, and the giant pandas are so pitiful! So I donated five thousand yuan."
"Big... bear... cat..."
Lin Chen suddenly felt so tired. Don't they have common sense?!
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Have you donated too?"
Seeing Lin Chen's speechless expression, Lin Wanyu asked.
Lin Chen covered his face and said nothing. Hu Yifei forced a smile and said:
"Wanyu, you and both of them have been deceived."
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Wanyu asked doubtfully.
"Okay, we don't need to find anyone else, let's go call the police."
Lin Chen said helplessly.
When they arrived at the police station, Lin Chen found that not only they came to call the police, but also a group of people came to call the police.
They were all deceived that there was freezing rain in the Arctic, and lions, tigers, cats, dogs and the like froze to death.
