Who would believe that?

Anyway, I don't believe in the saying "the cart is made of wood".

That's when the fake passersby come into play.

"I've only ever heard of being able to talk to the dead, never to talk to inanimate objects. Anyway, no one can hear you, so it's up to you how you talk."

"You don't believe me?" Deng Yin retorted.

The fake passerby responded, "Who would believe such a thing? I don't have hysteria."

Deng Yin: "You're a really strange person. If you don't believe me, what are you looking at here for? Do you like this feeling of being the only one who's sober when everyone else is drunk? Do you think everyone else is dumber than you, doesn't know what's true or false, and needs you to tell them?"

He just wants to form cliques, right? Let him do it!

The fake passerby's gaze changed as he looked around, and he said in a panic, "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't mean that."

Deng Yin: "Okay, okay, you didn't think that way, alright?"

Fake passerby: "........." What a load of rubbish!

She might as well not have said it at all; saying it like that makes it seem like he's being unreasonable.

In fact, even if the fake passerby didn't say these things, the people around him would still have some doubts.

Who would believe that someone could talk to inanimate objects?

He was still too impatient.

Deng Yin didn't care about what the people around him thought and continued to ask Che Suimu: "Besides this wood carving, do you have anything else related to your sister? The two of you are giving different accounts now, and I can't just listen to one side. I need other testimonies."

Che Suimu thought Deng Yin was mentally ill.

Seriously, I'm not insulting her, I genuinely think she's mentally ill.

"To be honest, I believed you at first, but your repeated spouting of such nonsense has really made me..."

"...It's really hard to trust you anymore."

The car paused for a moment, then continued, "Alright, let's leave it at that. I believe you meant no harm, but please..."

"...Don't try to fool me with my loved ones anymore."

Wow, they've got some skills.

The only problem was that the people they hired weren't very capable, to the point that Deng assumed she wasn't very capable either.

"Now it seems that it's not a matter of whether I believe you or not, but that you've never believed me at all," Deng Yin said. "Indeed, I admit that what our faction can do is quite bizarre, so it's normal that you don't believe me."

"But whether you doubt me because you don't believe anyone can do such a thing, or because you know what I'm saying is true and you have to say it, you should know very well in your heart."

“There must be someone among us who is lying, and we both know who that person is.”

"So you don't need to put on any act for me. You know I won't believe you."

Hooked.

Che Suimu raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing across his face.

The more assertive you appear at this time, the more you will lose people's support.

Regardless of whether Deng Yin's words were true or false, she had already lost.

Deng Yin had used this tactic before, so she naturally understood the principle.

Redemption stories are always told from the perspective of the weak.

Even if she were given a script for redemption now, she would only be the one redeeming others.

If you are strong enough, you won't need to satisfy other people's vanity; they will be willing to speak up for you.

No time to listen to Che Suimu's sob story, Deng Yin suggested, "What I did wasn't meant to ruin your shop. If it's plagiarism, just admit it. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Deng Yin's gaze fell on the fake passerby, the meaning of which was all too clear.

"To put it bluntly, even if I expose you today, it won't have a significant impact on your shop. Even if you lose some customers, it will only be temporary."

"So why don't we just skip the intermediate steps and you just admit it?"

Although the car is made of wood: "?"

What does this mean? Are you resorting to cheating when you can't win an argument?

If she were to admit that, then something fishy would happen.

Before she could speak, she heard the fake passerby say, "Oh, you were just being so tough with me, and now you're giving up because you can't win the argument?"

"You have no evidence of your own, yet you have the nerve to ask the other party to apologize to you. I really don't know how you can be so shameless."

Mouth double! Pure mouth double!

Well said! I'll hire him again next time!

"I have no evidence?" Deng Yin triggered the keyword and walked up to the fake passerby.

The fake passerby didn't move, but shouted, "Isn't that right? Why are you so close to me now? Trying to hit me now that you've been exposed?"

Deng Yin: "What if I can produce evidence? What will you do then? Kneel down and apologize to me?"

Fake passerby: "I wasn't wrong when I said you had a big face. Even if you can produce evidence, why should I apologize to you?"

Deng Yin: "That's a problem between the two of us. What gives you the right to keep barking like a dog? Being lenient with yourself but strict with others, is that all you have to say?"

"Tsk, no wonder it's so thick, it turns out there are two layers."

"No matter what, I'm still better than you!" The fake passerby looked at Deng Yin with disdain and said, "You were the one who lied, and you still wanted to gamble on the shop manager's kindness and make her take the blame. You're shameless."

Deng Yin shook his head and sighed, "Look, you neither agree to bet with me nor think I'm lying, so what exactly do you mean?"

"If you think I'm lying, why don't you take the bet? You won't lose, will you?"

Fake passerby: "......You didn't even ask me if I wanted to bet. You said if I had evidence, I would kowtow and apologize to you."

Deng Yin said nonchalantly, "What's the difference? Look, if I win, the bet I get is for you to kneel down and apologize."

"If you win, your stake will be clearing the shopkeeper's name."

"Since we've both gained something, what's the difference between this and a bet?"

Fake passerby: "........." That seems to make sense...

“There’s a difference,” a righteous passerby chimed in for him. “You’ve gained something, but what has he gained? He’s no relation to the shopkeeper. Even if the shopkeeper clarifies things, what does that have to do with him?”

The fake passerby suddenly understood after being enlightened by the righteous passerby.

Yes, although his ultimate goal this time was to clear the shopkeeper's name, he was just a passerby!

If they really gambled with Deng, wouldn't that mean his motives were impure? Wouldn't that expose their deal?

Damn it! I was careless.

Deng Yin was also disappointed.

It's a pity. She expected the fake passerby to be brainless, but she didn't expect a smart and righteous passerby to appear.
