Chapter 666 Is it such a big deal?

"When I was trapped in the bedroom, I really thought I was going to die. I hadn't finished watching my favorite anime, I hadn't made my year-end trip, and I hadn't gone to Haidilao as promised. Most importantly, my parents had raised me for so many years, and they hadn't even had a chance to see the results before they had to bury their child. I was not willing to accept it!"

"Just when I was in despair, a girl wearing a mask kicked open my bedroom door, grabbed me and ran outside, then flew me down from the rooftop. Yes, you heard right, we flew down. I never thought I could fly down from such a height, and I was completely unharmed! Although I don't know her name or what she looked like, I know she must be a fairy!"

"Yes, yes, my situation was similar, except the one who came to rescue me was a handsome guy. Well, he was wearing a mask, so I don't know if he was handsome or not. But for men, looks are secondary; ability is what's truly handsome! When I came out, I was even thinking of asking him if he took on apprentices, and what my qualifications were. I wondered if I was good enough to become his disciple. But as soon as I turned around, he was gone. He really came and went without a trace. So cool."

"Me too, me too! When they walked towards me and my family against the light, they were all glowing. I thought I was already dead, and that angels had come to take me and my family to heaven. Looking back now, I realize how stupid I was. It damaged my image in front of my crushes!"

"Indeed! I have no way to repay the life-saving grace! In the end, the benefactor ran away without even saying two words. It's such a pity that he truly did a good deed without leaving his name."

"I think they might be martial arts masters trained by some martial arts family, who go around helping the weak and fighting the wicked, saving lives and upholding justice."

"No, no, no, I would say they are hermits who live in seclusion in the mountains and came to our rescue in time because they sensed that we mortals were in danger. That's why they wore masks and didn't want to show their true faces. After all, there is still a difference between immortals and mortals."

"Nonsense, they are just ordinary people."

"Why do you say I'm talking nonsense? An ordinary person? An ordinary person can jump from that height and be unharmed, an ordinary person can run through a raging fire to save us?"

"..."

At first, the group was just arguing, but then it became noisy, and finally they almost came to blows. They didn't seem like patients who had just escaped death.

The staff member in charge of recording the conversation was puzzled, but still adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts and recorded what the people said before reporting it.

The decision-makers who saw this record also wore the same painful mask as the "subway grandpa looking at his phone".

Jumping from the rooftop, scaling walls, angels, martial arts masters, reclusive sages—it's all over. These victims have been traumatized by the explosion and fire, suffering from hallucinations and psychological scars. They need immediate intervention and treatment from psychologists.

Ye Wanxi and her companion were unaware of the absurd and hilarious turn of events that unfolded for everyone.

After rescuing the trapped residents nearby, the two returned to the stone shop, hoping to find some clues. However, they found only a group of unconscious people inside, including the person in charge who had led them into the Yin-Yang Mirror not long ago.

Ye Wanxi and her companion examined the individuals and confirmed that they were all ordinary people.

Ye Wanxi frowned and looked at Feng Tianyu questioningly: "What do we do now?"

"Contact Xiao Jihui."

When Xiao Jihui received Feng Tianyu's call, he was extremely busy. Although Wangchuan Community had been sealed off, the problems with the developer and the residents were still there.

Logically speaking, this matter shouldn't be under Xiao Jihui's jurisdiction, but his father has recently had a lot of enemies, and the people in various departments who are in charge of this matter have been passing the buck back and forth, and in the end it still ended up in his hands, making Xiao Jihui sigh that his father is really messing with his son.

As soon as the phone rang and Xiao Jihui saw the caller ID, he had a bad feeling. He felt that the caller was up to no good and that it was definitely not going to be anything good.

As expected, after Feng Tianyu succinctly recounted the whole story, Xiao Jihui instantly put on a mask of pain.

Especially after hearing that the mastermind behind the scenes had failed to harm people and then decisively cut off the tail of the gecko, causing the shop to explode and affecting the entire commercial street, Xiao Jihui was so anxious that he slammed his fist on the table.

"How serious was the explosion? What's the current situation with the fire? Are there many casualties?"

"The firefighters have arrived and the fire is now under control. As for casualties, the rescue was timely; some people were injured, but no one should have died."

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Jihui finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's why you called me at this time."

"Have your men come and help clean up the mess, and while they're at it, take these people back with you."

“I @#&…” Even someone as composed as Xiao Jihui was so angry that he became somewhat incoherent.

Listen to this, listen to this. He's supposed to be a vice minister, but this person is making him sound like their personal butler, meddling in their messy affairs all day long.

Feng Tianyu let him ramble on on the other end of the phone for a while, and finally only asked, "Are you coming or not?"

“…Come here.” Xiao Jihui’s voice suddenly softened. “I really owe you two. I’ll send someone over right away. You two move the people to a safe place first.”

Feng Tianyu's call was on speakerphone, and Ye Wanxi listened to Xiao Jihui's self-destructive compromise, finding it both amusing and apologetic.

Thinking about it carefully, that person does seem quite pitiful. Every time something happens to them, their first reaction is to ask him to clean up the mess.

I apologize as much as I am, but it seems that no one else is qualified to handle this matter unless I contact Xiao Jihui.

The people Xiao Jihui found arrived quickly; Ye Wanxi and her companion waited for about half an hour before they arrived.

The leader was a young man in his early twenties with black hair. He had already roughly understood the situation before he came, and his attitude towards the two of them was respectful from beginning to end, leaving no room for criticism.

After the procedure was finalized, the men brought by the black-haired guy stepped forward to take the people away, only to find several large treasures gleaming with the light of money lying beside them.

"These stones..."

Ye Wanxi and her companion then noticed that the several raw stones covered with red cloth next to the people in charge hadn't been lost despite all the commotion.

"Oh, this is the rough stone we gambled on before, used to lure people in."

The black-haired guy: "???" Using such a big treasure to lure people, is that a big deal?

"So, you two will take these stones with you?"

Ye Wanxi looked puzzled: "Can't you handle this?"

"It's possible, but I still suggest you take it with you, after all, this thing..."

Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow, guessing the unspoken meaning of the young man in black. Such a precious treasure, if they took it back, might cause some trouble. They might even end up making things worse for others.
