Chapter 256
Today, very few would dare to kidnap Quinlyn, but Jason just happened to be one of them.
He changed his clothes and loitered at a bank, successfully swindling an old man out of a hundred grand in cash
before swaggering off.
As he drove away, he casually waved at the man. “Don’t worry, I've got this handled.”
“Okay, thank you so much!” The old man bowed gratefully, completely unaware of what was happening.
Taking a corner, he picked a small eatery and led Quinlyn to a table outside,
“Aren’t you scared?” Quinlyn glanced at the distance between them, thinking it would be easy to get caught.
But Jason waved it off and stuffed a dumpling in his mouth, grinning. “You don’t get it. This is what makes it
exciting, and they still have things to sort out.”

Quinlyn joined in, feeling hungry after a bland airplane meal. Halfway through, she noticed a commotion at the
bank.
The old man was arguing with a guy, refusing to let him leave, while someone nearby borrowed the
shopkeeper’s phone to call the cops, trying to be a good citizen.
Quinlyn finally understood; the target was older folks rushing to handle urgent tasks, easy to deceive.
Then, the scammer jumped in, pretending to be a distressed relative of the old man, and the money changed
hands.
While they were eating, the old man, anxious for an update, called him out. The scammer showed up in a panic,
clearly frustrated.
“See? | told you | could help him.” Jason smirked, clearly enjoying the unfolding .
The police were just a couple of streets over, and a bowl of noodles later, they had the whole story.
The shopkeeper had gossip to share, saying, “Oh, it's a phone scam. They pretended to be the old man’s
grandkids in an accident, needing money to send, but the kids were just fine in school.”
Amid the rants, Jason remained unfazed, nodding along. “Exactly.”
His thick skin was evident.
After finishing the meal, he paid and left with Quinlyn. Meanwhile, the scammer slumped to the ground, wailing,
“I swear | had no accomplice. | didn’t take his money! If | did, I'd be struck by lightning!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason, laughing and driving, clearly had intended to fool the scammer instead.
Quinlyn turned to him. “Aren’t you going to give the money back?” ‘If it isn't for profit, what's the point?‘ she
wondered.
“Oh, it’s fine! The scam money is enough to pay the old man back.”
Jason waved his hand dismissively.“Scams like this happen all the time. If it weren't me, he’d lose his money
anyway. They'll just try a different trick next time.”
Quinlyn frowned. “Don’t their families teach them anything?”
“Who has the time? People are working from nine to five. Young folks are dying at their jobs. Old folks can’t find
tto visit them in the hospital. It's a societal issue without any conscience in crime,” Jason replied. He wanted
to smoke and pulled over to grab some.

Just then, Quinlyn’s modified watch lit up, This modified watch actually has more powerful functions than a
mobile phone.
Just when Quinlyn opened the watched, it revealed a call coming through from Xiomar. “Holy cow, Quinlyn, are
you okay? That idiot actually kidnapped you! We're just 0.3 miles behind. Should we take action?”
Thinking for a moment, Quinlyn shook her head. “Not yet.”
“Got it! Just call if you need anything, Xiomar replied confidently.
‘Of course, if a criminal was involved, her safety couldn’t be compromised, he thought.
Soon, Jason returned with a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of water. He shut the door and turned curiously.
“You had a chance to run earlier. Why didn’t you?“In the bustling downtown, even if she ran, he wouldn't shoot.
Quinlyn shook her head, staying silent.
He chuckled, lighting a cigarette. “So, you snuck out to prison, huh? Did your dad or mom get caught? You're
afraid of getting yelled at because you'll miss them?”
Quinlyn kept her head down, still not replying.
“Oh, | see, stubborn. But you're pretty clever. You're not panicking. I'm just wandering around. Why not join me?”
Quinlyn lifted her head slightly. “You don’t know where you're going?”
“I'm on my own at home, so | just want enough to eat. My dream is to make money and travel the world. But
right now, I'll travel around the country, Jason explained.
Looking at the plastic bag at her feet, similar to the one she brought when she arrived in the city with 30
thousand dollars, she replied, “But that’s not enough. | realized things are pricey here.”
“Heh, you know that too! No worries. We can always find a way to make scash. It's the easiest thing to do.”
He chuckled.
