Chapter 147 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou thought to himself that this was not right either. Maybe Liu Xuemei was lucky and encountered other players who were lustful and got rescued?
Xue Rui looked at the two people in front of her with a gloomy expression, her mood getting worse and worse. "I regret it."
Lin Leyou: "Huh? What did you regret?"
Xue Rui felt terrible thinking about how he had used his invisibility ability to escape before, all because of the woman in front of him.
"I'll kill this woman too!"
at the same time.
In the dead of night, most of the inhabitants of the Endless World were already asleep.
For example, Jiang Xiali slept exceptionally well tonight because of the good news Lin Leyou brought him.
Even when he was asleep, he was having sweet dreams, with a smile on his face. Of course, his parents were also happy, and they chatted and laughed for a long time before going to sleep.
But in stark contrast to their family, his uncle's family in Jiangxia Village were still awake so late, with everyone sitting in the living room with gloomy faces.
Jiang Xiaoyue's face was deathly pale. She stood in the living room with her back against the wall, her head down and her eyes fixed on the floor tiles. She didn't dare to look up, speak, or even breathe loudly.
Jiang Changdong probably waited until the silence had lasted long enough before speaking in a low voice.
"Do you know why I happened to come across this prop, and why there was no one nearby who could bid higher than me at that time, and why I was able to win the bid?"
Jiang Xiaoyue's body trembled. After hesitating for a long time without hearing anyone continue, she answered in a trembling voice, "I...I don't know."
Isn't it just good luck?
Jiang Changdong, "What are you thinking? Are you thinking it's just because I was lucky?"
How did he know what she was thinking? Did she say it aloud?
Jiang Xiaoyue was so frightened that she kept her mouth shut, afraid that she might accidentally reveal her thoughts.
She knew that the calmer her father appeared on the surface, the angrier he was. If he started cursing at her, it meant he wasn't extremely angry, and she could breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Changdong, "Do you think everyone can be so lucky?"
"Everyone in that trading market knows everything about it; many people have placed their own informants in every corner."
"There are many informants, and they are almost all on duty in shifts, keeping watch all the time, so as not to miss any treasures that suddenly appear."
Jiang Changdong grew increasingly angry as he spoke, "Why do you think I was just lucky to win this prop? Do you know how much my family and I lost? Was it just points?"
Jiang Xiaoyue had always thought that her father was lucky to have bought the prop, but now that she heard him say this, she knew without a doubt that it was not just good luck.
So what exactly did they sacrifice?
Why is this happening?
She didn't dare to speak or ask any questions.
Because... putting aside how she obtained it, just calculating the losses that follow made her afraid to even think about it.
Including the more than 200 million points spent on purchasing it, and the extremely dangerous dungeon that my brother is about to go to, having this item would definitely have been better, but now the item is gone.
The eldest brother now has to collect other defensive items to make up for the lack of this item, not to mention that many other people want to borrow it.
Among them are people they would normally have to befriend.
She had even received a call from a young master who usually looked down on her, inviting her to his birthday party, something she had never been allowed to do before.
It's not that they weren't qualified to go, it's just that they only invited people of similar or higher status, or close friends.
But this time, she was actually invited. She was shocked when she received the invitation, but now it's definitely over!
Moreover... to say how friendly those people were on the phone before, how cold they would become after learning that the prop was lost.
They might even feel ashamed for speaking to them politely before, and might even turn around and kick them a few times!
No need to think about it, it's entirely possible!
Jiang Xiaoyue quietly raised her hand to wipe away her tears. If it were any other time, her parents and older brother would come over to ask her what happened and would help her vent her anger if she cried.
But now all three of them are turning a blind eye.
Actually... she really didn't think that much at the time; she was completely stunned by the bomb hitting her at close range.
So when Lin Leyou approached her and told her she had a chance to take back the prop, all she could think about was that this person was actually insulting her.
As Miss Jiang, she absolutely cannot lose face!
This is how it turned out.
After she was killed and the game ended, her mind finally came back to normal, but she realized that she had made a big mistake and that she couldn't get the item back from Lin Leyou at all.
No, no!
Actually, it seemed like there was a chance at first, but Lin Leyou felt that her asking price was too low and was unwilling to give it back. If she had asked for a higher price at that time, if she had asked for an even higher price...
He'll definitely agree! But... it's too late to say anything now.
Qiu Baiyu sat next to Jiang Changdong the whole time, her expression indifferent. It was impossible to tell whether she was angry or not, but she was definitely not happy.
It was unbelievable that her daughter had made such a big mistake; she had always thought that Jiang Xiaoyue was just a little bit domineering.
I just didn't expect them to be so brainless.
"Alright, honey, it's no use saying anything to her now. Let's think about how to salvage the situation. See if we can contact Lin Leyou and try to exchange something for her."
"After all, many people are waiting to borrow it later, and some have even agreed to borrow it. Even if we keep it a secret now, the longer it drags on, the greater the risk of it being exposed."
"And most importantly, Amin is going to that dungeon soon. You know how difficult that dungeon is. Without this item, it's too dangerous. I'm not at ease."
Jiang Xiaming patted her hand.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. At worst, I'll prepare some extra props. Even if we don't get anything in the end, we'll still be able to come back safely."
"Besides, I went there once before I got that item, and I didn't have it then either, but I still came back safely, didn't I?"
Qiu Baiyu sighed, "That dungeon is difficult, and many things are uncertain. Just because you came back safely before doesn't mean you can do it next time..."
She couldn't bring herself to say that her son wouldn't be able to come back safely. "I know you're very capable, but that instance is no joke. You've been there before, so you should know better."
"Mom is just worried about you. Okay, stop talking! It's so late, you should go home and rest. Your dad and I will discuss what to do next."
Jiang Xiaming did want to say something more, but... in the end he didn't refuse and obediently got up and went back to his room. Of course, Jiang Xiayue remained leaning against the wall and didn't move. Go back to her room to rest? She dared not.
Jiang Changdong, "So tell me, what should we do?"
"Isn't it said that Lin Leyou and Jiang Xiali are good friends? My brother called me before to ask about the protective shield, so he must have found out about this and wanted to confirm it with me."
"Although I managed to deflect the attack, he probably confirmed it from what I said. In other words, Lin Leyou must have made contact with my brother and probably understands how valuable this item is."
"So, do you understand what I mean?"
Qiu Baiyu frowned. "Then...should we ask someone to put pressure on us and threaten us?"
Jiang Changdong: "Who do you want to find?"
Qiu Baiyu's mind flashed through the images of many people in a few seconds, but in the end he didn't choose any of them. He wanted to find someone else to threaten Lin Leyou and put pressure on him, but there was a prerequisite.
That means telling the other party about this.
So here's the question: once the other party finds out, will they actually do as they say, or will they directly go to Lin Leyou to borrow the props?
Needless to say, it would definitely be the latter. If their family encountered such a situation, they would also choose to borrow props from Lin Leyou, since the latter is simpler.
Unlike their family, Lin Leyou is just an ordinary resident, so it is relatively easy for him!
Jiang Changdong was still angry. "Why aren't you saying anything? Tell me, who can help us with this?"
Qiu Baiyu remained silent for a while before saying a name.
"Let's not give reasons, just say we want to teach someone a lesson. Let's ask him to do us a favor and teach him a lesson beforehand, so he feels like he's under our surveillance all the time. That way, when we go to find him later, it might be more effective."
Jiang Changdong was very annoyed. "Don't you have a brain?"
Qiu Baiyu was so stunned by the scolding that she didn't even have time to react.
"I already said it once, Jiang Changhai and the others already know about this. Just wait and see, given their previous attitude, he'll be spreading this around tomorrow!"
"You want to wait a few more days before going to see Lin Leyou? By then, it'll be too late!"
Qiu Baiyu also thought of this matter and was immediately annoyed. She didn't even care about being scolded for being brainless earlier.
"So what do you suggest we do? According to you, we absolutely have to get those things back tonight? How do we do that?"
"Tell me what to do, I'll do whatever you say."
Jiang Changdong: "First, contact someone to check Lin Leyou's location."
Qiu Baiyu: "Where else could he be? Didn't we check? He just bought a house in Xingfu Community not long ago, he's probably sleeping at home right now."
Jiang Changdong insisted, "Let's confirm. If he's home, we'll go find him."
Qiu Baiyu then asked someone to check Lin Leyou's whereabouts. He found an old acquaintance, but what used to be a smooth process turned into an exceptionally difficult task today.
"What's wrong? Why can't we check the information for residents of Xingfu Community? Why?"
