Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Qiu Lizhen's mood was as bright and sunny as the weather today.

As they entered, they were humming an unknown tune.

Jiang Tao also copied down the lottery ticket that she bought from Liu Qiang yesterday.

She went out drinking with her best friend last night and didn't have time to check the winning numbers.

I checked this morning.

hey guess what?

bingo!

Moreover, the prizes won are quite substantial, with a minimum of four second-prize wins!

In addition, the second prize in this round is as high as 25+.

In other words, the lottery ticket that Jiang Tao bought for more than 100 yuan is now guaranteed to be worth more than 1 million yuan!

Although she hadn't known Jiang Tao for long, Qiu Lizhen genuinely liked him.

Of course, this liking is not the kind of liking a woman has for a man.

It's more like an older sister's affection for a younger brother.

Jiang Tao has unexpectedly gained over a million yuan this time, and Qiu Lizhen, his older sister, is genuinely happy for him.

"Boss! You're finally here! Quick, quick! Call the person who bought my lottery ticket yesterday!"

When Qiu Lizhen heard the whirring noises at the door, she looked up and saw Liu Qiang enter. Her good mood was instantly ruined.

"Liu Qiang? What do you mean?"

Qiu Lizhen stood up from her seat, her neatly trimmed eyebrows furrowing slightly, her expression showing some displeasure.

"Quickly call the person who bought my lottery ticket yesterday, and void yesterday's transaction!"

"I'm not selling that lottery ticket! I'll give him all the money back!"

Liu Qiang was a little agitated at the moment, and he spoke loudly, spitting out breakfast crumbs that splashed onto the counter in front of Qiu Lizhen.

Upon hearing Liu Qiang's words, Qiu Lizhen's anger flared up instantly, and any sympathy she had felt vanished without a trace.

"Liu Qiang, what you're saying is really unfair, isn't it?"

"Who was it that came to my shop yesterday, begging and pleading to sell that lottery ticket?"

"Now that the lottery results are in and you've won, you're coming to say the transaction is void? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Qiu Lizhen became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her voice rose several decibels:

"So you're saying you want others to bear all the risks, and if they lose, they're responsible for the losses, but if you win, you want to reap the rewards?"

"You're being too cunning! Let me tell you, it doesn't make sense!"

"You two signed an agreement yesterday, and I'm a witness. How can you do this to us!"

Bang! !

Liu Qiang slammed his hand on the counter, making the pen holder on it jump.
"I don't care about any agreements or anything like that!"

"I was out of my mind! I was fooled by him! You guys all conspired to fool me!"

"That lottery ticket was originally mine! It was my luck! It was my money! Why should he get it for nothing!"

"We're in cahoots to scam you? Hah~"

Seeing Liu Qiang's unreasonable and distorted logic, Qiu Lizhen felt her chest heave violently with anger and felt a tightness in her chest.

"Liu Qiang, you're such an ingrate! Yesterday, I asked dozens of people for that ticket you had, and no one wanted it. You were so anxious, isn't that true?"

"Jiang Tao only wanted to help you because he saw you were in such a miserable state, but now you're turning around and accusing us of lying to you!"

"You can't be so heartless!"

Liu Qiang suddenly interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense to me!"

"You all think I'm easy to bully! You think I'm unlucky! You've all conspired to swindle my lottery ticket!"

"Let me tell you, I'm penniless right now and this lottery ticket is my only chance to turn my life around! You have to give me back my ticket!"

Faced with a million-dollar prize, what does Liu Qiang care about conscience? How much is conscience worth anyway?

He was panting heavily, his eyes sweeping fiercely over the small lottery shop before finally settling on Qiu Lizhen's face. His tone carried a defiant threat: "I'm just a worthless person! I have nothing to lose! And you? You, Boss Qiu, own this shop, and that guy surnamed Jiang doesn't look like he's short of money. You two have a bright future ahead of you, right? If you push me too far, we'll fight to the death! My worthless life is worth it for the two of you!"

"Liu Qiang! You, you, you!!"

Qiu Lizhen was so angry at Liu Qiang's vicious and shameless remarks that she trembled all over.

Having lived for so many years and met so many people, this was the first time she had ever seen a scoundrel like Liu Qiang, who, despite his advanced age, still twisted the truth and repaid kindness with enmity!

That's a real old rogue, a real scoundrel!

"Liu Qiang, you're utterly unreasonable! I have nothing to say to someone like you!"

"If you think we lied to you, then call the police! Let the police handle it!"

"Let's see if the police say you're being unreasonable, or if they say we're committing fraud!"

Qiu Lizhen crossed her arms, too lazy to argue with Liu Qiang anymore. Even if this matter was handled legally, she and Jiang Tao were in the right.

"Call the police? What are you going to call the police for! This is a civil dispute! What good are the police? I just want my lottery ticket!"

Liu Qiang had never dealt with the police in his half-life. When he heard that Qiu Lizhen was going to call the police, he knew he was in the wrong and became even more nervous.

"You're not going to report it, huh? Then I will!"

Seeing that Liu Qiang was still making trouble, Qiu Lizhen picked up the phone on the counter to call the police.

"Don't force me!"

Liu Qiang hadn't slept all night, so his emotions were already quite unstable.

Provoked by Qiu Lizhen's actions, he hastily pulled out the fruit knife he had bought before entering the house!
The blade wasn't long, but under the bright light inside the room, it reflected a dazzling, cold glint!

"You're not allowed to make phone calls! Put your phone down!"

Liu Qiang pointed the knife at Qiu Lizhen, his face contorted with malice, and threatened her:

"If Jiang Tao isn't brought here today, and if the lottery ticket isn't returned to me, nobody's going to get away with this!"

"If you dare call the police, I'll... I'll make you regret it! I mean what I say!"

The icy blade caused the air temperature to drop sharply.

Qiu Lizhen's heart clenched suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

She never expected that Liu Qiang would carry a knife with him and even dare to show it!
But Qiu Lizhen has a stubborn streak; the more she is threatened, the more defiant she becomes.

Looking at Liu Qiang's blustering demeanor, she was certain that he was just bluffing and wouldn't actually dare to make a move.

How could a poor, honest man who was afraid to even speak loudly before suddenly dare to commit a violent crime with a knife?

This flawed judgment led her to make an impulsive decision in a fit of extreme anger.

"Who are you trying to scare, Liu Qiang! Do you think I'm easily frightened?!"

While shouting angrily, Qiu Lizhen's fingers trembled but she resolutely began to unlock the screen, preparing to dial 110.

"I'm calling the police right now! Let the police see what crime you're committing by threatening someone with a knife!" Liu Qiang panicked and was completely enraged when he saw that Qiu Lizhen was not only unafraid but also wanted to call the police!

The fear of things spiraling out of control and the twisted anger that had been suppressed for a long time instantly overwhelmed his already fragile rationality.

"I told you not to call the police, but you still hit me!"

"You think I wouldn't dare, do you! You think I wouldn't dare!"

Liu Qiang roared, his eyes turning blood red in an instant, all his reason burning away at that moment.

Only one thought remained in his mind: Stop her! I can't let her call the police! I must reclaim my lottery ticket and my hope!

Driven by extreme madness, he gripped the fruit knife and stabbed it violently at Qiu Lizhen behind the counter!
At that moment, Liu Qiang, who had lost his mind, only had his lottery ticket and money on his mind.

Where is the last shred of respect for the law?
Or rather, he was completely unable to control his behavior at that moment.

He instinctively stabbed the person who was "obstructing" him with the weapon!

The flashing blade carried a resolute malice!
When Qiu Lizhen saw that Liu Qiang had actually stabbed her with a knife, her pupils dilated instantly, and a look of fear appeared on her face.

Liu Qiang has gone mad!!!

He really dares to use a knife!
A tremendous fear gripped her instantly; she could even see the distorted features on Liu Qiang's face and the crazed killing intent in his eyes!
She wanted to hide, but ordinary people instinctively feel fear when faced with immense terror.

Qiu Lizhen felt as if her body was nailed to the spot; she wanted to move, but she couldn't move at all!
She could only watch helplessly as the knife stabbed towards her!

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely!
At this critical moment!
"boom!"

A half-open glass door of the lottery shop was violently smashed open!

Jiang Tao, who had been delayed on the road due to the morning rush hour traffic, finally arrived!

The moment he stepped inside, he was met with this scene that sent chills down his spine—

Liu Qiang stabbed Qiu Lizhen with a knife, who had no time to dodge!
There was absolutely no time to think!

It was a completely instinctive reaction!
Before Jiang Tao could even rush over, his right hand, which was in his pocket, was holding his phone. Almost instinctively, his terrifying physique, which was more than 160 points higher than that of an ordinary person, suddenly erupted!
Twist your core muscles and swing your arms like a powerful bow!
At that moment, that ordinary smartphone seemed to transform into a sniper bullet fired from a gun!

The moment it detached from Jiang Tao's fingers, it emitted a faint buzzing sound due to the rapid friction with the air.

The phone traced an almost straight path through the air, its target aimed directly at the back of Liu Qiang's head!
"Snapped!!!!!"

A sharp, almost muffled, impact sound exploded out!
The corner of the phone that Jiang Tao threw out, like a precision-guided hammer, slammed into the back of Liu Qiang's head with perfect accuracy!

With Jiang Tao's current strength, he could easily throw away an iPhone.

Even if it were a real apple thrown out, it could still be incredibly lethal!

From a microscopic perspective.

The area on the back of Liu Qiang's head that was struck hard instantly caved in a small section.

His consciousness vanished instantly, like a robot whose power supply has been cut off.

His expression instantly changed from ferocity to utter bewilderment and pain; his mouth opened unconsciously, but no sound came out.

His forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and the hand gripping the knife instantly lost its strength, causing the fruit knife to fall to the tiled floor with a clatter.

Immediately afterwards, he became like limp mud with its bones removed, and his eyes became unfocused.

Liu Qiang didn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground, completely unconscious.

Only the purplish-red bump that quickly swelled up on the back of his head, bearing the imprint of a cell phone frame, proved how heavy the blow had been.

Qiu Lizhen remained in that stiff posture, ready to dodge, her face deathly pale, her lips trembling uncontrollably, and her forehead covered in cold sweat.

She stared blankly at Liu Qiang, who lay motionless on the ground, and then at Jiang Tao, who stood at the doorway in a throwing motion, his eyes cold.

Her heart pounded wildly, like a restless rabbit.

For a split second just now, she really thought she was going to die!
The feeling of death brought by that cold blade was so real!
Only now did the overwhelming sense of relief and lingering fear of surviving the ordeal surge over her like a tidal wave, making her legs weak and almost unable to stand.

She had to hold onto the counter with both hands to keep herself from collapsing.

"Phew! That was close! Luckily I made it in time!"

With the crisis temporarily averted, Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to put his mind at ease.

He underestimated the extent of traffic congestion during Beijing's morning rush hour, and almost missed his important business!

Fortunately, he sensed something was wrong at the previous intersection, got out of the car, and ran over!

Otherwise, he might face a rather bloody scene!
"Brother Jiang Tao, you've saved my life."

"In a society governed by the rule of law, it's terrifying to find such a crazy person."

It took Qiu Lizhen a while to recover from her shock, and she patted her chest with a look of lingering fear.

Jiang Tao quickly stepped forward, first glancing warily at Liu Qiang, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

He then kicked the fruit knife that had fallen to the side far away.

He then looked at the still-shaken Qiu Lizhen and asked, feigning ignorance:
"Sister Qiu, what's wrong with this man? Are you hurt anywhere? Should we call a doctor?"

"I'm fine. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise..."

Qiu Lizhen felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it. If Jiang Tao had arrived even a second later, the result would have been...

OK!
She had been certain that the other party wouldn't dare to make a move.

You only know after experiencing it firsthand that when people are pushed to the brink, they are capable of anything!
It was a bright and sunny day outside.

But Qiu Lizhen felt cold all over, as if she were in the dead of winter.

This was the closest she had ever come to death in her life!
She never wanted to experience that feeling again!

"It's good that you're alright. I'll call an ambulance first, and then the police."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he squatted down and picked up the phone that he had just thrown out as a "hidden weapon".

but……

The phone screen was shattered into a spiderweb pattern and had turned black.

Clearly, this phone is beyond repair.

Think about it too.

In that moment of desperation, he used all his strength without holding back.

With his current physique score of over 160, you can tell how strong he is just by looking at Liu Qiang, who is lying unconscious on the ground.

"Sister Qiu, can I use your phone for a moment?"

Helpless, Jiang Tao could only turn to Qiu Lizhen and use her phone to dial the emergency and police numbers.

Although Liu Qiang is somewhat "ruthless," he doesn't deserve to die.

He should be held accountable if necessary, and he should be taken to the hospital if necessary.

Less than five minutes after Jiang Tao finished making the call, two police cars and four police officers arrived.

Qiu Lizhen briefly recounted what had just happened to the police officers.

Furthermore, surveillance data from some stores serves as strong evidence.

Liu Qiang will not escape legal punishment this time. (End of Chapter)
