Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1491 The Game Arena 41
With the elderly couple giving such careful instructions, how could Wang Jingqian's stepson disagree? He nodded repeatedly in agreement and then went to find Linlang.

Linlang was unaware that Wang Jingqian's stepson had come looking for her.

Although Linlang used the honeycomb device to monitor some people, it certainly wasn't Wang Jingqian's stepson among them, since the two had no relation whatsoever. She never imagined that Wang Jingqian's stepson could scheme against her when they were completely unrelated, so naturally she didn't use such an important tool as the honeycomb device to monitor him. As a result, she naturally didn't know that Wang Jingqian's stepson was looking for her.

Linlang returned from fighting monsters outside and was surprised to see Wang Jingqian's stepson looking for her. She wondered what he could want, since the two had no relation whatsoever.

Then, Wang Jingqian's stepson tried to get closer to her, saying, "You know me, right? I'm your mother's stepson, so we're practically siblings."

"Oh, so what brings you here?" Linlang looked him over suspiciously. If she told him they were siblings, Linlang would remain noncommittal, wanting to see what nonsense this man was going to spout. After all, no one comes to a temple without a reason. The two of them had no relation, so his sudden visit must mean he had something to say.

Then Wang Jingqian's stepson shamelessly said, "Little sister, I'm a little short on cash lately. Could you lend me some money? Our family wants to become official residents. I'll pay you back when I have the money."

"........."

Are people these days so shameless that they're completely open about it? How could he possibly say such a thing? The two of them had never met before. It was only after they arrived in this territory that the original owner's mother came to their door, and the whole family followed behind her, which is how they got to know her.

He could ask me for money so brazenly after just a brief encounter, and given his shameless behavior, he definitely wouldn't pay it back. After all, if he intended to repay, he could have borrowed money from the territory itself. Her territory had a loan program specifically for newcomers who didn't have money, allowing them to become official residents. If the original owner's mother's former stepson and his family wanted to become official residents, they could have just borrowed money from the territory; they didn't need to borrow from her.

Why borrow from her when there are other places to lend to? What are you up to? Don't you think people know? You just don't want to pay it back.
How could he possibly ask a stranger for money and not pay it back?

There's no point in talking to shameless people, so Linlang immediately put on a stern face and said coldly, "Who said we're siblings? My mother didn't give me a brother."

Then she turned around and went into the villa, ignoring him. She wasn't afraid of him causing trouble anyway; if he dared to, she would call the patrol team to deal with him.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble and just stays outside his villa, Linlang can completely ignore him. The villa has deep walls, and once the door is closed, he can't see outside at all. This way, he won't affect Linlang at all, which is much simpler than when the original owner's father harassed Linlang in front of the stone house. After all, the stone house doesn't have a yard, and if he harassed Linlang in front of the stone house, Linlang could see him from the window, and seeing him would annoy her. But the villa has a yard wall, and there are no windows on the yard wall, so she can't see the people outside. This way, out of sight, out of mind, and she won't feel annoyed.

Wang Jingqian's stepson was indeed persistent and started causing trouble outside. Linlang immediately reported it and called the patrol team, who took the man away.

This person was clearly not giving up. Although he didn't dare to cause trouble anymore, he still tried to stop and harass Linlang when she went out.

Seeing the man's "I'm just being a scoundrel, what can you do about it?" attitude, Linlang's face fell. She said, "This is the last warning. If you harass me again, I'll report you to the patrol team again, and they'll escalate the situation and expel you from the territory." Wang Jingqian's stepson, unaware of his father's family's ordeal, didn't take Linlang's threat seriously at all. He even said nonchalantly, "I'm not causing trouble in front of your door, I'm just here to talk to you. Is that not allowed? Are you going to kick people out? That doesn't make sense."

Seeing that the man ignored her warnings and wanted to continue harassing her, Linlang immediately called the patrol team and asked them to report the incident to their superiors.

But this time, the patrol team did not comply with her request.

The patrolmen tried to persuade her, saying, "This gentleman didn't do anything to you, he just spoke to you politely, yet you reported him to the lord and had him expelled. That's a bit too inhumane. I think it would be better if both of you compromised and settled it privately."

Linlang was surprised that this patrol team was not as decisive as last time, and actually showed some consideration for personal relationships.

At first, she didn't think that the two people who came were problematic. She just thought that these people were like before the apocalypse, who liked to advise people to downplay big problems and let small problems go. So she frowned and said, "I have already asked him to leave, but he just won't leave. I don't want to be harassed by him. You should report to the lord and have him expelled."

The two men still wouldn't listen, saying, "How could we trouble the lord with such a trivial matter? He manages such a large territory; he doesn't have time to deal with such small things."

In short, they just didn't want to report her situation to the territory.

Linlang noticed that after the patrol team ignored her request, Wang Jingqian's stepson was smiling smugly. She immediately realized that the two of them were not the kind of people who liked to advise others to downplay or resolve problems, but rather that they had been paid by Wang Jingqian's stepson, which was why they were unwilling to help.

That makes sense. Wang Jing's ex-husband does make money by fighting monsters, and all the money he earns ends up in the hands of Wang Jing's former stepson. In other words, Wang Jing's former stepson is wealthy. After I asked the patrol team to drive him away yesterday, he must have bribed those people to tell them not to meddle in other people's business next time. They listened to me, so when Linlang complained today, they didn't do anything about it.

Linlang hadn't expected that so quickly, some members of the patrol team would be corrupted. And these people couldn't even continue doing the job indefinitely, since the mission's cycle was only one week. They might not be able to get the mission again the following week. Under these circumstances, she really hadn't thought that these people could still become corrupt.

Fortunately, she didn't show herself, and no one knew who the lord was, so she could resolve the situation with a single click. Otherwise, in reality, these people would know who she was, and she might not be able to see the truth at all. And as more and more people like this appeared in the territory, the residents would be unable to rely on them if anything happened.

To avoid wrongly accusing anyone, Linlang immediately checked the money transactions of Wang Jingqian's stepson and found that he had transferred copper coins to these people.

Linlang is a lord, so she doesn't need to ask to know the names of the people in front of her. She can easily find them by searching for their names in the territory system.
