Not only An Rugu, but the police from the Special Management Bureau also noticed this.
Inside this luxurious villa located in the center of Baiguo City, there are many panda-related ornaments scattered around. There are panda dolls on the sofa, and even the murals are of pandas eating bamboo.
How much do they love the pandas in their country?
They saw pandas in a foreign country and it would be a lie to say they were not touched. They also like pandas, so they also developed a slight liking for Joseph, who shared the same interest with them.
Like-minded people refer to people who have the same hobbies.
But on second thought, this thing is a potential suspect! Even if he is just a fellow enthusiast, he is still a criminal!
The good impression in my heart suddenly disappeared.
Captain Wang said coldly: "Mr. Joseph, we want to talk to you about the Nozawa Circus..."
Joseph crossed his hands and placed them on his abdomen. There was no panic on his face. He looked calm and said in fluent Mandarin: "Officer, this has nothing to do with me. If you have any questions, please consult my lawyer."
He winked at the lawyer in a suit next to him, who pushed his glasses and walked over.
"Sir, my employer is a law-abiding person who never challenges the law, let alone the laws of other countries. If you have evidence, please hand it over to the court instead of threatening my employer here."
Captain Wang suppressed his anger and said, "Don't think we don't have evidence. We found the chat records and transfer records you posted on the dark web."
The lawyer waved his hand and looked down at Captain Wang on the sofa: "Excuse me, how do you prove that these chat records were sent by Mr. Joseph himself? As we all know, hacking exists in this world."
"Mr. Joseph told me that his account was hacked a month ago."
"Oh, damn, the Internet world is so unsafe, information leaks happen all the time."
Captain Wang's face darkened when he heard this. How dare this man quibble!
He wanted to refute, but then he thought that chat records are often difficult to become legal and compliant evidence. In order for these chat records to become evidence, it is necessary to prove that the owner of the account is indeed Joseph himself.
If Joseph had sent a voice message to Nozawa Circus and Zhang Tiankai, things would have been much easier. But the other party was very cunning, using virtual currency for payment, and the chat records were very brief.
Now the other party directly denies that the account belongs to him, and instead says that the account has been stolen. The matter has suddenly come to a standstill.
Captain Wang thought about it but couldn't think of a good solution, so he stood up and left with everyone.
Joseph watched the group of neighbors leave, and heard the lawyer's voice in his ears: "Sir, why are you entangled with them?"
"You don't have to worry about it, you just have to win the case."
"I see."
After Joseph sent the lawyer away, he returned to his study. With his right hand, he touched the ring on the little finger of his left hand, and a look of unwillingness flashed in his lake-blue eyes.
As happy as he was when he received the good news before, he is as angry now!
The people in that circus are such losers, and Zhang Tiankai is the loser among losers. How could he let things turn out like this?
If only they had been a little more helpful and brought those monsters back to their country, things wouldn't have turned out like this!
He was very angry, breathing heavily, pulling his tie, picking up the remote control and pressing a button, and the towering bookshelf suddenly opened automatically.
In the corner, three little black and white balls were lying side by side on the emerald green bamboo leaves, with their heads drooping and their bodies pressed tightly against the ground, like a pool of black and white mud.
And he kept calling out in a random manner.
"Boo, boo, boo."
Joseph immediately suppressed the anger on his face, softened his voice, and wanted to speak in Baiguo, but after thinking for a while, he still said in the Mandarin he had just learned: "Are you hungry? Isn't there rice all over the ground? Why don't you eat it?"
The three little balls ignored him completely and kept on calling out to themselves, as if they didn't hear him at all.
"This is bamboo flown in from Sichuan. Isn't this what you used to eat?"
This time, the three little balls finally moved, scratching the ground with their four claws, which surprised Joseph.
However, the three little balls then tried their best to distance themselves from him and huddled in the corner, as if they didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
Joseph had never been treated like this before, and he gritted his teeth. He was not a pushover, and he was immediately enraged.
These three pandas are like big bosses. No matter how we coax them, they won't eat. They really don't know what's good for them!
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to hit the three pandas, but his eyes fell on their furry fur, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand gradually retracted. He still couldn't bear to hit them.
He stood up, gently brushed off the grass debris on his body, his face cold as ice: "You will figure it out."
Because he was reluctant to beat the pandas, his resentment towards the pandas immediately shifted to the group of police officers from the Special Management Bureau.
If they hadn't ruined his good fortune, those monsters and the ginseng doll would have come here long ago. Those monsters in the mountains and forests would definitely be able to build a good relationship with the panda, making the panda feel better, and naturally they would not refuse to eat.
And no matter how much a panda hates eating, it will not refuse a rare treasure like a ginseng doll.
If he could get the pandas to eat the ginseng dolls, he wouldn't have to worry about them starving anymore.
He walked out in his leather shoes, chin in hand, lost in thought.
If it weren't for that so-called metaphysical anchor, that reliable organization Youdu would not have been destroyed, and he would have successfully obtained the ginseng doll and those monsters. How could he have wasted his time and effort and failed like today!
No, we have to find a way to get the ginseng doll and the monster back!
Just as he was feeling indignant, sirens suddenly sounded outside the window.
Joseph didn't take it seriously. He just thought that the police car was passing by. He closed the secret door casually, feeling a little disdainful.
Fortunately, these pandas were not monsters, and they had no evil spirits, so they would not arouse the suspicion of the Special Management Bureau. They had been to the study, but they were like blind people, and did not find the secret door.
It seems that this group of people are just empty talkers.
But the next second, there was a knock on the door: "Knock, knock, knock, knock!"
The news that a police car had arrived at the luxury villa area spread quickly and caused a sensation.
People all over the world love to watch the fun. The nearby residents put on their clothes and came to Joseph's door out of curiosity.
They were shocked to learn that the police car's destination was Joseph's house.
"Officer, did you find the wrong person? Joseph is a very honest man!"
"Yes, I would rather suspect that I will commit a crime than believe that he will commit a crime."
Mixed-race people are very popular in their country, not to mention that Joseph is a mixed-race person who is successful in his career and handsome. Both men and women have a good impression of him, including the people in this villa area.
They never believed that Joseph would do anything illegal.
The police officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said awkwardly: "Someone reported him for stealing the national treasure of another country!"
His neighbor still couldn't believe it: "Mr. Joseph is rich and smart, how could he steal another country's national treasure? He could easily buy it with money."
"Officer, I think this is probably a misunderstanding. You must investigate it thoroughly and not slander Mr. Joseph, a good citizen."
The people who live in this villa area are all well-known people, either powerful or rich. Most people firmly believe that there is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it is because there is not enough money.
What national treasure can't be bought with money?
The police officer sighed: "This national treasure cannot be bought. He stole it - the panda."
Neighbors: “???!!???”
Pandas are truly a national treasure that cannot be bought!
"What? He stole a panda? This is just so...beautiful."
"Oh my god, where is the panda? Can you let me see it?"
For a while, no one cared about the handsome and rich Joseph, and everyone's focus was on the panda. If foreigners were to be ranked in terms of their love for pandas, then Belarus would definitely be at the top of the list.
This country has spent tens of millions of dollars to rent pandas and even built a luxurious palace for them. Last year, the president of Belarus visited a terminally ill child and asked him what his wish was. The child said he wanted to pet a panda.
"Excuse me, everyone please disperse."
Zoo staff were urgently dispatched to take the three pandas away from the house. Their movements were as gentle as if they were treating fragile newborn babies, and their eyes were filled with indelible tenderness.
The neighbors nearby were so excited when they saw the cute panda that they felt dizzy.
They can actually get so close to pandas in their lifetime!
Due to their status, they could not go forward, and could only stare at the breeder with envy, wishing they could take his place. If their eyes had any warmth, the breeder would probably be eaten alive.
The neighbors watched the police take Joseph and the panda away. They were stunned for a long time and felt deeply moved.
"So they were trying to steal pandas. I can actually understand Joseph a little bit now. I also wanted to steal one and sleep with it in my arms, but I couldn't get one."
"Mr. Joseph is really amazing. He can always do things that others can't do."
Before, Captain Wang and others were confused after hearing An Rugu's calculation results, and finally chose to call the police. Didn't Joseph want evidence? They found the evidence.
After meeting Joseph, Captain Wang was very puzzled and made a video call to An Rugu: "I just asked the police officer over there. It is said that Joseph likes pandas too much, so he stole them. But the pandas seem to be unable to adapt to the local climate. They refuse to eat or drink, and their physical condition is getting worse and worse. The doctor he invited said that these pandas have depression, which is common among animals. If they are not helped to improve their mood, they may not live long."
"The doctor's advice was for him to send the panda back home, but Joseph was unwilling to do so."
"He went to the dark web and found someone to come to our country and steal ginseng dolls and monsters, hoping to make the panda feel better. I really don't know what he was thinking."
"Anyway, thanks to you, he was so cunning. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many more days would have been wasted!"
An Rugu said calmly, "It's okay. By the way, how are the pandas doing now?"
Captain Wang and his team drove to a nearby zoo. If it was a normal lease, it would be fine. However, these pandas were completely stolen by Joseph from their country, and they should be returned.
This zoo is used as a temporary transit station, and the pandas will be transported back to their country when people from their country arrive.
The three black and white balls bit the bamboo the keepers gave them, eating faster and faster, as if they had been hungry for many days. Although the local bamboo is not as fresh and tender as the bamboo in Sichuan, they ate it with great relish, and their faces were full of comfort.
Every panda was extremely grateful that they finally left that small dark room!
Captain Wang looked through the iron fence at the panda lying on its back eating bamboo shoots and asked, "How could someone be so desperate as to steal a panda?"
There are people in this world who like pandas, and there are people who don't. In addition to these two types of people, there are also people who have no feelings for pandas, and Captain Wang is one of them.
He prefers dogs, such as loyal and brave police dogs, to pandas.
Ji Xing feels the same way: "It only knows how to eat and sleep, and its body is so weak. I don't understand why it is so popular. It is also a protected animal. It is really amazing. It is not worthy of being a national treasure at all."
Haha, he is the Dragon God, but he is not called a national treasure, okay?
The acid in his words seemed to overflow through the screen.
An Rugu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you think is worthy of being a national treasure?"
Ji Xing said modestly: "It has to be more majestic and handsome, able to fly up to the sky and dive into the sea..."
An Rugu: “…”
It would be better for him to just report his ID number.
Captain Wang agreed: "Yes, I think so too!"
Ji Xing seemed to have found a soulmate when he heard this, his eyes lit up slightly: "That's right, it is not worthy of being a national treasure, only the one I said is worthy of being a national treasure!"
Only he, the great Dragon God, deserves the title of national treasure.
Captain Wang nodded deeply: "That's right, why can't police dogs be national treasures! Police dogs that protect our homes are the most valuable assets and are most suitable to be national treasures. No other animal can compare to police dogs."
Ji Xing: “???”
How could this dragon of his be inferior to a dog?
Ji Xing folded his arms and walked to the sofa next to him to watch TV. His face was gloomy and he didn't want to talk to Captain Wang.
Captain Wang was still unaware and kept praising the police dog's power and intelligence.
It was not until An Rugu asked him about the connection between Joseph and Youdu that Captain Wang finally stopped talking.
"He used to have a very good relationship with the leader of Youdu, Su Qiao. He was a big customer of Youdu and provided him with a lot of funds. Those pandas were the wild giant pandas stolen by Youdu. It was Su Qiao who told him that the ginseng doll was about to be born. Su Qiao asked him to prepare the funds and manpower to steal the ginseng doll."
An Rugu felt that things were not that simple: "Is Su Qiao so kind?"
"Once the treasures of heaven and earth are born, they cannot be concealed." Captain Wang sighed: "Su Qiao is already at the end of his strength. He must want to use this rich man to collect information about the ginseng doll. He doesn't really want to give the other party the ginseng doll. If Youdu is still there, I guess they will bite each other."
The incident of a wealthy foreign businessman stealing the country's giant pandas began to ferment from eyewitnesses and was gradually known to netizens at home and abroad.
Foreign netizens were shocked, but also felt that there was some truth to it.
[This group of elites really know how to enjoy themselves. They are not satisfied with luxury cars and beauties, and now they have their eyes on giant pandas. I am so damn envious! ]
[If I had a giant panda, I would kick my husband out of bed and sleep with the panda in my arms.]
[So who can tell me how to touch a giant panda? Legal means are of course the best.]
【Start becoming a politician today, become the head of our country, and you can touch a panda. 】
[You can go to a country that rents pandas, look for unmarried royal family members, find ways to become a prince or princess, and then you can pet baby pandas.]
[By the way, build your country now, and then work hard to make your country a world power, then you will be eligible to rent pandas! ]
The comments on the foreign website became more and more outrageous. After the screenshots of the forum were sent to China, the domestic netizens were shocked.
[Oh my god, do these foreigners like pandas so much? They like them so much that they steal pandas? ]
[Oh my god, wild pandas must protect themselves when they are outside! ]
[It’s getting cold, remember to be careful of foreigners! ]
【It’s normal. When I was a kid, I was very brave. I once touched the back of a panda through the railing. The panda was busy eating. It looked at me and ignored me. After I went abroad, I told my colleagues that I had touched a panda. As a result, everyone wanted to touch my hand, saying that they also touched a panda, including my kind boss who is over 70 years old. I suspect that if I sell handshake tickets like my idol, I will probably get rich! 】
Time flies, and it's time for live broadcast again.
An Rugu turned on the computer, opened the live broadcast software, and started the live broadcast. Soon, countless viewers poured into the live broadcast room.
[I finally waited for you, luckily I didn’t give up~]
[Host, let's tell a hundred fortunes today and beat those fortune tellers to death! ]
Many gift special effects suddenly appeared in the barrage.
[Liang Xiaowei: Thank you, host. Brothers and sisters, please make way. I want to be number one today! ]
One by one, the South China Sea pearls were given out, and the gift effects were extremely gorgeous, and they were automatically given a platform-wide push. The entire platform knew that a wealthy man had appeared in An Rugu's live broadcast room, but they were not surprised.
Such rich people appear every now and then in her live broadcasts, and she has become numb to the surprise after seeing them so many times.
The contract signed by An Rugu is different from that signed by other anchors. The Shark platform does not take any commission from the gifts in her live broadcast room. Every penny goes to her, which makes countless anchors envious.
Of course, the Shark platform is not at a loss either. It was able to squeeze out other competing platforms and become the leading live streaming website in China, precisely because of An Rugu.
Ordinary anchors make money through recommendations from sharks, so they should naturally share the money with the sharks, but anchors at An Rugu's level no longer rely on recommendations from the Shark platform to gain traffic.
Now it seems more like she is recommending the Shark platform to the public.
Therefore, the Shark platform is not willing to let go of this cash cow and offers numerous benefits.
Seeing that Liang Xiaowei was giving out gifts quickly, other rich people in the live broadcast room refused to admit defeat and gave out one gift after another.
Among them, the original No. 1 [National Treasure] was the one that swiped the most and the fastest. In the end, many people couldn't swipe anymore, and only Liang Xiaowei and National Treasure were swiping gifts.
"Stop swiping, spend rationally."
It was not until she persuaded them that they gradually stopped.
An Rugu contacted the first destined person [Adding Foot to a Snake], and made a phone call after communicating.
Soon a woman in her twenties appeared on the screen. She had long curly hair and wore a mask, revealing sparkling eyes. From the upper half of her face, it could be seen that she should be good-looking.
There was a hint of joy on his face, as if he was in high spirits because of something happy happening.
She couldn't wait to give a reward, and then said excitedly: "Hello, host, to be honest, I'm getting married, and I want you to tell my marriage!"
"I'm getting older, and my family is pushing me to go on blind dates. I didn't like blind dates at first, but I couldn't resist, so I went on a blind date. Who would have thought that the first person I met would be so suitable for me?"
"He's quite handsome and gentle, not the kind of male chauvinist."
"My family is pushing me to get married, so I want to ask if we are suitable for marriage, if our horoscopes are compatible, and what will happen after we get married?"
She asked many questions in a row, her face full of joy. It can be seen that she is very satisfied with her boyfriend and full of expectations for the future.
"Let me help you calculate." An Rugu closed her eyes, counted with her fingers, then opened her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows: "Putting aside the question of whether you and him are compatible, do your boyfriend's family really dislike you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Huashetianzu's face froze a little, her eyes flickered, and she felt a little embarrassed: "...Well, his mother may not like me very much. She had a bad attitude during the meal before, and she ignored me when I spoke."
[One of the four eternal problems, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem! ]
[Sister, run away quickly. If I'm not happy with you now, I don't know how I'll torture you in the future. ]
Huashetianzu is an optimistic person. He encouraged himself: "Although this is my first marriage and I have not encountered any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, the road is made by people. I can't give up because of fear.
And relationships between people need to be adjusted. I will try my best to get along with Auntie! Let her like me!"
"By the way, things are different from what you think. She is not my boyfriend's biological mother, but my boyfriend's stepmother. My boyfriend's parents are a reconstituted family. His father brought him up, and his stepmother brought a daughter."
"She always ignored my boyfriend, as if she was angry with him. As the saying goes, if you hate someone, you hate his dog. It's normal for her to treat me badly."
[It turns out she is my stepmother, so it’s okay. 】
[The boyfriend of the destined person is very pitiful. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather! ]
[That's not the case. My stepmother is a good person and treats me like her own daughter. This is a credit.]
[Since the stepmother doesn't like the destined person, then the destined person doesn't need to have a good relationship with the stepmother. Just treat her as a transparent person and show some respect to her during festivals. ]
