Chapter 73: Frame-up
And there's that silly Li Ruifeng. It would be better if he didn't get into trouble all day long without me watching over him.
"No, uncle."
Lu Minmin waited for a long time but did not feel any pain. Instead, she heard her eldest niece screaming in fear. After hearing what her eldest niece said, Lu Minmin opened her eyes anxiously and looked at Li Ruifeng, who had another big hole poked in his body. Tears could not stop flowing down her face.
"You idiot, didn't you promise me not to do anything rash? If you don't keep your word, I'll be in trouble."
"Well, I'm sorry, Amin. As soon as I saw you were about to get hurt, I immediately stood in front of you. Don't be angry with Ah Feng, okay?"
"It's already this late, Li Ruifeng, and you're still thinking about these things. Do you really think you're an iron man who can't die?"
Lu Minmin applied the painkillers, hemostatics and other medicines that her eldest niece had left over to treat Li Ruifeng.
Fortunately, Lu Yuelan arrived in time at the last moment, caught the hilt of the flying sword in her hand, and reduced the force of the sword stabbing Li Ruifeng's chest.
Otherwise, Li Ruifeng would have died without waiting for Lu Minmin to treat his wounds.
"No, there's too much blood left. I need a healing potion."
Lu Minmin was talking about the interstellar version of the healing potion that can cure any disease, not those ineffective pills on Earth.
A small hole was punctured in Li Ruifeng's chest, and without a strong healing medicine, he would not be able to survive.
Lu Yuelan regretted killing the monster before. If it was any other time, she could save the brilliant pearls for her uncle. But now, her uncle was injured too seriously and she was helpless.
"Hurry up and go out, let's go to Yongjia Supermarket to buy it."
Lu Yuelan thought that the glittering pearls were given to her by Manager Zheng of Yongjia Supermarket, and she thought that Manager Zheng must have some stock on hand.
As long as they get out in time, Lu Yuelan can use the platform positioning card to go to Yongjia Supermarket to ask Manager Zheng for help.
"It's too late. The human pets here need to earn their own entrance fees, or be bought by pet owners who are VIP members or above at the pet shop, paying ten times the price. We can't find a pet owner to redeem them right now."
"It's okay, aunt, just leave it to me."
When Lu Yuelan heard her aunt's words, her eyes lit up. She remembered that she had applied for a Supreme VIP membership card, which was no more advanced than a VIP membership. She thought that she could take her uncle out to save people.
"Can……"
"No buts, Auntie, please wait here, I'll be back soon."
Lu Yuelan handed her backpack to her aunt and asked Xiaolan to lead the way. She was going to find the manager to handle the redemption procedures for her aunt and uncle.
"Sister, I'll be there soon. You just stay here with your aunt."
Xiao Lan was worried when she saw her sister stumbling around. She wanted to go by herself and let her sister stay to look after her aunt.
"No, I'll go with you."
It's clear from the moment you walk in that none of the staff at the pet shop are easy to get along with.
Lu Yuelan was worried that Xiaolan wouldn't be able to handle it and that it would delay her uncle's treatment.
"Okay then, sister, come this way. I remember someone just said that the manager went to the top floor to receive guests."
Lu Yuelan nodded to show that she understood, and followed Xiaolan upstairs.
Along the way, we saw all kinds of orcs, a pink rabbit with no ears, an orange cat with only one leg... without exception, all of them had incomplete bodies.
At other times, Lu Yuelan would have sympathized with the miserable plight of these orcs, but now she was so focused on saving people that she didn't care about these disabled beasts.
In the end, either he was born disabled or was persecuted by the staff of the pet shop.
After she rescues her uncle, she will have the chance to help these poor orcs.
Lu Yuelan followed Xiaolan to the top floor of the pet shop, where two orc voices came from.
"How's that gentleman? Is he really going to be alright?"
"It's its own fault. Who made it so nosy? Didn't it even realize where we are? How could it be allowed to do whatever it wants?"
"But that's the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, the most promising descendant of the Sky Fox clan. He's been promoted to the position of Young Master at such a young age, and his father is the clan leader. If anything were to happen to him here, the Sky Fox clan's wrath would be no joke."
"There's still a scapegoat. Just put all the blame on her."
"But everyone in the orc upper class knows that Yongjia Supermarket is part of the Meng family's business. The Meng family's young master has a very good relationship with the Tianhu young master. It's impossible for him to attack the Tianhu young master."
"That's why you can only be a subordinate, while I can sit on the manager's throne. I have an informant at the auction house who said that the young master of the Sky Fox had a conflict with that woman over something. The informant didn't dare get too close to the details and didn't hear clearly, but as long as he knows there's a grudge between the man and the beast, he can take advantage of it."
…
The conversation inside the door was still going on. Lu Yuelan's heart was pounding and she didn't dare to knock on the door to go in.
The previous plan was really ill-advised. I knew clearly that there was not a single good animal in this pet shop, but I still ran up here foolishly to die for that little bit of hope.
Everyone wants to make her a scapegoat, so how can she help her get her aunt and uncle out? This will not work and she will get herself into trouble.
"What should I do, sister?"
Xiao Lan followed Lu Yuelan and slowly retreated, fearing that the orcs inside the door would hear them. He asked Lu Yuelan in a very low voice what to do next.
It saw its sister's panic just now. Now the only way out has been gambled by those bad beasts. Those bad beasts also want its sister to be a scapegoat and take its life. A murderous look flashed in Xiaolan's eyes. Sensing his own emotions, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at his sister, for fear that his sister would find out that something was wrong.
"Go find Tiantian."
Lu Yuelan remembered what the two orcs inside the gate had just said about the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox and the Young Master of the Heavenly Fox.
If Lu Yuelan remembered the Sky Thunder Fox correctly, Mengmeng's childhood friend was the young master of the Sky Fox clan. If she rescued it, she believed that with the Sky Fox clan's powerful combat capability and its own strength, it would definitely help her rescue her uncle and aunt.
Without further ado, Lu Yuelan took Xiao Lan to search for the whereabouts of the Sky Thunder Fox.
Although the pet shop is not as big as the auction house, it covers an area of quite large. If they search floor by floor, not to mention whether her uncle can wait for her, even if he can, the staff of the pet shop who want to use her as a scapegoat will find that Lu Yuelan is abnormal. If they fail to save her, they will be implicated themselves.
"Did Sister leave Young Master Tian's contact information?"
"I did stay, but we're inside the platform, there's no signal at all, and we can't get in touch."
"It's okay, leave it to me."
Xiao Lan took the Lu Yuelan watch, a series of codes flashed through her eyes, and then a beeping sound was heard, and a childish and wary voice of a baby came from the other end.
"Teacher Lulu??"
"Tiantian, where are you? The teacher heard that some orcs are planning to plot against you. Be careful and don't get caught by them."
Lu Yuelan ignored the strangeness in the voice from Tianlei Fox. If she were in his place, she would also be confused and wary of the sudden appearance of a familiar voice, especially when she was being chased by someone, she would not let her guard down.
