I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 161 Extortion

Xiao Baicai finally recognized the person in front of him. It turned out that this woman was the shop assistant he met when he went to buy the cake. No wonder she said they had met in the afternoon.

"Oh, it's you! What a coincidence!"

When Xiaobaicai saw the young lady, he thought of those fragrant and delicious cakes. He said with a smile, "Miss, the cakes in your shop are all delicious. My colleagues and I have finished them all."

"Oh, really? Then you'll have to come often!"

The young woman smiled and stroked the big wolfhound's head, saying, "By the way, it's so late, why are you still out? Why aren't you sleeping at home?"

"Oh, it's like this, because my colleagues said they were going out for a late-night snack, so I went out."

When the ambulance arrived, Yue Jiuling called Xiaobaicai again, saying she wanted to go out for a late-night snack and asked Xiaobaicai what she wanted to eat.

"Oh, I see. There's even a late-night snack. I'm so envious. You can go now, I'll head back first."

As the young woman said this, she seemed about to leave, but she didn't move at all, as if she was waiting for something.

Sure enough, the next second, Xiaobaicai spoke up. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Um, would you like to come eat with me? It's my treat."

Upon hearing this, the young woman immediately became excited and asked, "Is this okay?" Then, she looked troubled and said, "Won't your colleagues disagree?"

"No, no, my colleagues are all very easy to get along with, they won't have any complaints."

"Oh, okay then. I'm hungry too, let's go together!"

Yue Jiuling, Ya Zi, and Wu Jing waited at the street corner for about half an hour before they finally saw Xiao Baicai arrive late. Moreover, Xiao Baicai didn't come alone; he brought a woman with him, a very beautiful woman.

"Little cabbage, you've finally arrived! Oh, and who is this?"

Yue Jiuling frowned the moment she saw the woman, but she still put on a curious look and said, "Little cabbage, who is this? Is she your new friend? Why don't you introduce her quickly?"

Like Yue Jiuling, Ya Zi didn't have a good impression of that woman. He first glanced coldly at the large wolfhound following behind her, and then looked at the woman and said, "Yeah, why aren't you introducing her yet?"

Little Cabbage said a little shyly, "Oh dear, this is actually the shop assistant I met when I went to buy a cake at the cake shop today. By the way, miss, what's your name? I don't even know your name yet."

The young woman smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Su Yue."

"Su Yue? So your surname is Su~"

Yue Jiuling read the name aloud upon hearing it, then gave a cryptic smile and said, "This surname, Su, is actually quite nice."

Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Ya Zi turned to look at her and smiled as well. However, he made no comment on Su Yue's name and simply asked Xiao Baicai, "Xiao Baicai, is Miss Su also here to have a late-night snack with us?"

"Yeah, we were together. Oh, right, Brother Long, Sister Jiuling, I have to tell you something~ I just ran into a bad guy. He tried to scam me and extort money from me. Luckily, Miss Su's big dog came to my rescue, otherwise I'd still be being bothered by that bad guy right now~"

Xiao Baicai quickly recounted what had just happened, and also praised the big wolfhound, saying, "Miss Su, your dog is really smart. I'll have to buy it some treats to thank it later."

Miss Su smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, there's no need to spend so much. You already said you'd treat me to a late-night snack, so there's no need to buy anything else."

Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling remained silent, watching Su Yue and the big wolfhound laugh. Wu Jing, however, said, "Your dog is indeed smart, but people these days are too wicked. There are all sorts of people trying to scam you. Everyone needs to be careful. Little cabbage, next time you encounter a situation like this, remember to call the police. You can't just give them money like that."

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely not fall for that again!"

After this incident, Xiaobaicai realized how stupid she had been. She hadn't even realized that the person was acting. If Su Yue's big wolfhound hadn't run out, she might have already been extorted for a large sum of money.
