Chapter 17 Zhang Jiao's Trial

Zhang Jiao was startled: "What did you say?"

"I know your misfortune. I can give you a gift to help you change your situation, but there is a prerequisite - you have to pass my trial."

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Jiao suddenly burst into laughter.

The bearded man looked at him expressionlessly.

Zhang Jiao suddenly stood up: "Where is the camera? I know this is a funny show, and there should be a microphone in the room..."

The bearded man suddenly shook his hand, and a whirlwind quickly formed in the room. All the curtains, tablecloths, and carpets were lifted up. Zhang Jiao was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

A tablecloth swayed in front of him, as if she was deliberately teasing him.

The bearded man shook his hand again, and the whirlwind disappeared. Everything returned to its original position.

"This is the technique I have mastered. One of the simplest skills of star marrow science, which uses the infinite energy contained in the universe. If I have time, I can show you more brilliant skills. But that takes a long time to prepare. Do you believe me now?" asked the bearded man.

Zhang Jiao swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "I believe it...but how to conduct the trial?"

"This is very troublesome to explain. In short, we have our own solutions." Mingjia said with a smile.

Zhang Jiao remembered the bank manager's obedient behavior just now: "Well, I don't completely believe what you said."

"How can you believe it?"

"Can you get something from you first? For example, just manipulating the bank manager's medicine? You must be able to take out some props that convince me so that I can trust you."

"Can."

Mingjia took out a box from his arms: "This is the prop. I will teach you how to use it."

He opened the box and saw a flute, a bottle of potion, and a bunch of pills inside.

Mingjia said: "Put the potion to someone, and a drop is enough. Then, when you play the flute, a strange sound will be produced in the flute, which only you and him can hear. When he hears the sound of the flute, he will be controlled by you and you will do whatever you want him to do."

"What is that pill for?"

"That's the antidote. It's the same as what I just poured into the bank manager. The potion will have strange side effects on the human body, which is not very good over time. It's best to control it for a period of time and then untie the effect."

“What impact?”

Mingjia shrugged: "It's very scary, I think you shouldn't know. Besides, I hope you don't rely too much on props. Over-reliance on them will cause laziness and the expansion of desire, and these are the roots of misfortune."

Zhang Jiao sat in a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows next to him. Through the window glass, he could see what happened across the street.

On the table in front of Zhang Jiao was the box given to him by Ming’s family, and the bottle had less potions.

The waiter came over and asked Zhang Jiao what he wanted, and Zhang Jiao ordered a few dishes casually.

Zhang Jiao stared at the opposite side of the street with concentration. In the midst of the traffic, a young man and woman were walking together affectionately. The man put his hand on the woman's shoulder, and the woman hugged the man's waist with happiness. Zhang Jiao felt dizzy. A few weeks ago, the woman was his wife.

The man next to her is her lawyer at this moment.

At this moment, a little boy walked up the street, holding a golden box in his hand and said to the woman: "Miss, someone asks me to hand this to you."

The woman took the box curiously, with a card attached to it, saying: "Happy birthday to you - your friend." The words were printed, and there was no handwriting. The lawyer wanted to tip the little boy, but he ran away quickly.

"Haha, someone still remembers my birthday." The woman opened the box and saw a piece of exquisitely made brownies inside.

"Wow! What I like the most!" The woman was obviously very happy. She picked up the chocolate and wanted to eat it.

"Wait." The lawyer frowned, "You dare to eat strange gifts? What if they are poisonous?"

The woman gave him a blank look: "What should I do?"

A cat crossing the crosswalk looked like a homeless wild cat. There were many such wild cats in the city. They were not short of food and had no natural enemies. Although they were not strong enough, they were very brave.

The lawyer broke a small piece of the chocolate and threw it to the wild cat. The wild cat came up curiously and smelled it, then swallowed it in one bite.

The woman and the lawyer looked at it nervously. After a few minutes, the wild cat did not react intoxication. It looked at the lawyer expectantly, as if he wanted him to throw another piece of chocolate over.

"Go away." The woman was impatient to knock the cat away, "I've said that this chocolate will not be a problem."

The lawyer said: "That's why I'm too concerned."

The wild cat looked at the ground helplessly, and even the chocolate slag that the woman fell to the ground was licked clean.

Zhang Jiao looked quietly across the street and saw the woman ate the chocolate in three bites. A cruel smile appeared on Zhang Jiao's face. He took out his cell phone with his right hand and dialed the woman's number.

The phone is connected.

"Happy birthday." Zhang Jiao said word by word.

The woman was startled and then said impatiently: "It's you. What's the matter?"

"Just celebrate your birthday." Zhang Jiao said, his left hand touching the flute.

Cars drove by quickly, and the woman frowned and said, "There is nothing else? Then I'll die."

"Wait." Zhang Jiao's heart surged in his heart, with the shy scenes of him and his wife when they first met, and the sweet scenes of the two on the wedding night... He held the flute and was reluctant to start.

As long as there is still a little hope, he will not take extreme measures.

"I'm going to die." The woman said dryly, "Please stop harassing us anymore. We are having a good time now."

The lawyer stared at the woman with concern.

Zhang Jiao finally made up his mind: "There is another thing, no matter whether you like to listen or not, I want to say it now."

"What's up?"

Zhang Jiao said: "For so many years, I have been working alone to support my family. Although I left you at home and made you lonely, I was the only one who worked hard to earn income for this family, but you only knew how to shop online at home. Do you know what hard work is? I go in the wind and rain every day, and I have to go to work no matter the heat and winter, and I have to smile and endure all kinds of humiliation from customers. Do you know these? You only know to ask me for this, that, cosmetics, brand-name clothing...

You want everything you want. I buy everything for you. Do you know that since I got married, I have only bought one piece of clothing for myself! I spent all the other money for you! You moved your clothes that day and took away all the furniture. All I left was the empty walls! That bullshit lawyer said that these belong to you... legally belong to you, because I bought it for you... but that was bought with my hard-earned money! You selfish guy! You don't have me at all!"

Zhang Jiao became more and more excited as he spoke. The woman's face became more and more ugly: "You can say whatever you want, anyway, we have no relationship. Now, you are just a stranger to me."

Seeing that she was about to hang up the phone, Zhang Jiao picked up the flute and leaned against her lips.
