Chapter 69

The chaos lasted until dawn. Because of the huge noise, the Foreign Affairs Bureau sent a special team to deal with the matter. The unlucky people who participated in the auction were all squatting in the hospital under the Foreign Affairs Bureau, waiting for the elders of each tribe to come and pick them up.

As an elder of the Grass Tribe, Guiyu saved the situation in the accident. Originally, she did not need to wait for the tribe members to come and take them away. However, since the "culprit" of this incident was a guest invited by the Grass Tribe, and they had close contact with the Black Mist Man, after the examination, they still had to wait for the elders with higher seniority to come and confirm their safety.

It was under such circumstances that Chief Diwu hurried over from the Grass and Wood Tribe at dawn.

In the ward of the Grass Tribe, he saw a group of listless little cubs. Guiyu, who had grown up and no longer got angry when teased, was lying on the sofa with a sad look on his face.

"Why are you all like eggplants hit by frost?" Diwu teased with a smile, "Weren't you very noisy last night?"

Guiyu was shocked: "Why are you here, Chief?"

Diwu: “……?”

He rolled his eyes with his fairy-like face: "Why can't it be me?"

Guiyu: “…”

Her bright face looked even more worried.

"Enough! Why do you look so upset!" Diwu bent his knuckles and gave Guiyu a head slam, "Am I that unreliable?"

Guiyu covered her forehead and said angrily, "Don't you know whether you are reliable or not?"

She was not raised to death by the Emperor's House when she was a child because she had a strong vitality!

"Since you all worked so hard last night, I won't bother with you." Diwu waved his hand, and a pile of milk tea cakes appeared on the coffee table. "You can pick the ones you like to fill your stomach. I'll go to the Foreign Affairs Bureau to inquire about the situation."

After he finished explaining, he walked away leisurely.

Luo Susu waved her tail, which had become fluffy and shiny again after taking a bath, and said in confusion, "Don't we have to be scolded?"

Guiyu: "I didn't do anything bad, why am I being scolded?"

Although the auction house collapsed, it did take down an underground black auction, prevented a disaster of zombies spreading, and saved many ordinary people who had gone astray. Comparing the merits and demerits, the merits outweighed the demerits.

Gu Hongying: "No need to pay a fine?"

Half the reason the floor space is so prone to collapse is because they put holes in the middle of the mezzanine.

"You will definitely have to pay for the mental damages of the auctioneers in the underground auction house, but I estimate that the total compensation will only be a few million." Guiyu looked at Gu Hongying's face that collapsed in despair, and smiled, "But considering that you eliminated the potential danger of the underground auction house, and discovered the black auction in time to save the auction house's reputation, and delayed the black mist man, and eliminated the hidden danger of the spread of zombies, well... considering the thank-you fee and bonus, you can still make a little money."

There were several relieved voices in the room. They didn't want to make money anymore, as long as they didn't lose so much as to be in huge debt.

After confirming that he didn't have to pay any money, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly warmed up. Gu Hongying fell straight down, lying flat on his back in the shape of a "big" character.

Luo Susu rolled a few cups of milk tea from the tea table with her tail and stuffed one into each person's mouth: "Cheers so that we don't have to pay!"

Several people each chose a cup of milk tea and started drinking it.

Diwu was very efficient. I don’t know how he did it, but more than an hour later, he reappeared in the ward.

"Have you all rested well?" He looked at the half-drunk milk tea on the table, a smile flashed across his eyes, "I have rested well and I am ready to leave."

He saw the kids jump up and start folding the quilts quickly.

Luo Susu had just used her tail to fold the quilt into a tofu block when she heard a creepy voice from behind—

"Sususu."

She turned her head stiffly and saw the neatly dressed Ruhuanpei and the Yayu who was inseparable from Ruhuanpei.

Lu Susu instantly turned into a red ball: "...Sister Pepe."

"It looks like you had a lot of fun on the way to your confinement." Lu Huanpei smiled, "From now on, I will take over and send you back myself."

Su Su: “…”

The good days are over QAQ.

After Lu Huanpei politely explained the situation to Diwu, she directly carried the drooping and depressed red fox away.

After Lu Huanpei left, someone from Kunlun also came to take Yin Li away. The last person to arrive was Gu Hongying's father Huo Hanzhi. The gentle man first greeted Diwu, then rubbed Gu Hongying's head and said, "Tongzi, it's time to go home."

At this point, the companions that Yu Tu had accompanied along the way returned home.

Guiyu was a little worried: "Now that all her friends have gone home, will Tutu get used to it?"

"Nowadays, technology is so advanced that we can call them out to play together anytime with the added contact methods." Diwu leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, and said lazily, "Oh, except for the little fox who will be locked up when he gets home."

As Susu was being carried away, she sneezed.

"Okay, let's go back too." Diwu stretched his waist and smiled on his beautiful face. "Tu Tu seems to be in danger very easily. Why don't we have some special training for the remaining half month of summer vacation?"

Wu Yulan entered the police station in the early morning and was released in the afternoon. After confirming that she was safe, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she instantly felt that her entire brain was exhausted.

Her father and mother followed her, both with guilty looks on their faces—they had received the call in the morning, and the two, who were used to being frugal, were so scared that they took a taxi straight to the police station, where they were criticized and educated for most of the day.

“Lanlan, it’s mom’s fault.” Compared to the master who showed a “miracle”, Wu’s mother, as an ordinary person, finally chose to believe the police. “We shouldn’t have believed the liar and put you in danger. We almost lost most of our life savings.”

In fact, before rushing to the police station, they still held on to a faint hope. How could a master who displayed such miraculous skills be a liar?

As a result, the police produced a very detailed report, saying that the reason they saw the "regeneration of severed limbs" was that a hypnotic scene was set up in the room with the help of high-tech instruments. Different words were used to guide different people according to their personalities, which would make them believe in certain scenes and continue to deify them in their subconscious.

For fear that they would not believe it, the police took these victims one by one to a room and recreated part of the scene when they were deceived that day.

It was not until then that Mother Wu and Father Wu truly believed that they had been cheated.

"We have to thank the police for being so responsible." Father Wu's tired face showed relief, "The scammer's trick was too real."

Takeuchi: “…”

She witnessed so many magical scenes at the auction house last night and signed a confidentiality agreement. The strange potion that regenerated severed limbs was actually real, and the demonstration in the room at the back was probably fake.

But Takeharu still had a straight face: "I've told you over and over again that these are all fake, but you just don't believe me! If it weren't for the landslide that happened and the scammers couldn't get away, and the police solved the case so quickly, you wouldn't be able to get any money, and even I wouldn't be able to come back!"

"We know we were wrong." Mother Wu and Father Wu assured her one after another, "We will discuss this with you in advance if we encounter such a thing in the future. We promise not to do it again! If you don't have time to get back to us, we will call the police!"

These two people, who had been honest for most of their lives and had never been to a police station, felt truly regretful after being educated for most of the day and being stuffed with a lot of anti-fraud promotional materials.

After Wu Yulan confirmed that her parents were indeed awake, her anger had almost subsided.

"Okay, stop looking so sad." The matter was resolved, and Takeuchi smiled. "We have learned a lesson this time. If we really can't get the money back, we can just consider it as a loss to prevent disaster."

"Let's go!" She held one of them and walked towards home, "Let's go home and have dinner!"

…

After a good sleep at home, Takeuchi got up early the next day and went straight to the teahouse on the commercial street. This time she was lucky as the door of the teahouse was open.

When Takeuchi entered, the owner was lying on a recliner, reading a book leisurely.

Wu Yulan pursed her lips and bowed to him: "Thank you."

The shop owner on the recliner looked away from the ancient book and smiled slightly: "Is the matter resolved?"

Wu Yulan nodded. The black spot on her wrist had been removed by an expert at the police station.

"The person who helped me remove the black spot on my wrist asked me who helped me suppress it," Takehana said. "I didn't mention your name, but I was worried that they would find you."

The shop owner paused while turning the pages of the book: "It's okay."

In Takehane's worried eyes, he smiled and said, "I haven't done anything illegal, so there's no need to be afraid."

The puppy at the owner's feet wagged its tail and uttered a loud "woof".

Wu Yulan looked at the shop owner, then at the strange little dog at his feet, and felt that his worries were totally unfounded.

Her tense heartstrings also relaxed, but then came another kind of tension: "What do I need to give you in return?"

Does such a mysterious and powerful person really only need something as ordinary as money?

"Half of your deposit," the shop owner said. "The flower branch under the bird's feet next to the door frame is the QR code."

Wu Yulan's face turned red, and she stammered, "I don't have much money in my bank card to begin with. Is half of my deposit... a little too little?"

Although wages are high in big cities, there are also many places to spend money. After working for three or four years, she has only saved about 100,000 yuan, half of which she gave to the store owner, which is only more than 50,000 yuan.

"Everyone who asks me for help has to pay a different price." Takeuchi looked at the shop owner's gentle eyes and said, "The price you have to pay is money."

*

Takehana scanned the code to pay, and the store owner asked her for half of her savings. She was very honest and added the money in various software into one, even down to the last cent.

Then she dazedly drank a cup of fragrant, relaxing tea and came out dazed again.

The warm sunlight fell on her body, making her squint her eyes comfortably. It was really a good deal to pay half of her savings to solve a life-threatening event!

The owner is such a nice guy!

On the other side, Yu Tu, who was holding the shell of Buyehou, was thinking—

Isn't it too much to ask for half of someone's savings?
