It's the 21st century, how come there are still people selling dragon eggs?

Chapter 17: Has the Dragon Egg Once Again Drawed the Nation's Attention?

Yu Xiao fell silent.

Although all attributes have been increased, it's still a good thing.

But why does it feel so strange to me?

I hesitated for a moment.

"Never mind him..."

Yu Xiao shook his head and started making notes on the paper again.

So, what exactly is "happy poop"?

Is there such a thing as despairing joy in poop? Truly, you're never too old to learn...

...

Jiang Dexiang has now completely broken down.

So no matter what Yu Xiao asked, Jiang Dexiang always answered without reservation.

I kept recording what Jiang Dexiang said.

After knocking Jiang Dexiang unconscious again, Yu Xiao yawned and stood up.

After entering the bedroom and having a good night's sleep on the bed.

The next day, Yu Xiao dragged Jiang Dexiang, who was bound hand and foot, out of the room.

As a good young person of the 21st century, Yu Xiao is still aware of his situation.

For example, if I help you solve a case, do you have to give me some kind of reward?

Yu Xiao chose the Public Security Bureau of Yutian District, Donghai City.

Whether it's where Yu Xiao lived before or where he lives now, it's all in Yutian District, Donghai City.

Yu Xiao called a car and dragged Jiang Dexiang into it.

Office of the Information Technology Section, Public Security Bureau, Yutian District, Donghai City.

"Section Chief, you wanted to see me?"

Fang Zaixu stood on the floor, looking at the middle-aged man across the desk, and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this...

The middle-aged man took a sip of his coffee and put it down.

"Xiao Fang, I heard you arrested a fraudster the day before yesterday, and then you released him? Is that true?"

Looking up at Fang Zaixu, the middle-aged man asked probingly.

As the head of the Information Technology Section of Yutian District, Donghai City, Nie Cheng was quite curious.

Arrested and then released? Was it a mistaken arrest?

"I……"

Fang Zaixu lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.

The person who appeared the day before yesterday was quite influential, and the director specifically instructed him not to reveal the truth.

Now, how should I respond to the section chief's curiosity?

I hesitated for a moment.

"It is indeed my responsibility, it was my mistake, I didn't investigate thoroughly enough..."

Fang Zaixu bowed his head and spoke with a humble expression.

Forget it, I can't afford to offend any of these big shots, so I might as well stab myself in the back.

"Um?"

Upon hearing Fang Zaixu's words, Nie Cheng narrowed his eyes.

They're all veterans of the Public Security Bureau, how could this happen?

Is there something behind this that I don't know about?

I thought about it.

"Alright, I'll let it go this time. Give me the information on the person who was arrested the day before yesterday. I'll take a look so I can be prepared if they try anything..."

Nie Cheng waved his hand and looked at Fang Zaixu.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zaixu naturally felt as if he had been granted a pardon and agreed.

I was just about to turn around and leave.

"By the way, my nephew told me this morning that the person who claimed to sell dragon eggs has reappeared."

"Remember to keep a close eye on things; the people's property must not be compromised. We must..."

Nie Cheng added.

Fang Zaixu: ?

...

Fang Zaixu was conflicted about whether or not to tell Nie Cheng that both matters involved the same person.

But then I thought of Yu Xiao.

"Is this guy selling dragon eggs again?"

"His dragon eggs didn't sell? What exactly happened the day before yesterday?"

Fang Zaixu became even more curious.

Fang Zaixu walked into his office.

"Bang!"

Close the car door.

"Behave yourself! Once you're inside, confess everything!"

Yu Xiao glanced at Jiang Dexiang, who was still shaken, and spoke irritably.

Upon hearing this...

"Of course, of course, Mr. Yu Xiao, don't worry, even if they ask me what kind of underwear my wife wears, I'll..."

Jiang Dexiang quickly forced a fawning smile onto his face and kept bowing and bending over.

However, before Jiang Dexiang could speak...

"Who would want to know about you..."

Yu Xiao's eyes widened instantly.

The words had just been spoken.

"The peak generates false support, the twilight bears witness..."

Yu Xiao's phone rang.

Raising an eyebrow, Yu Xiao took out his phone from his pocket, thought for a moment, and then answered the call.

I just put the phone to my ear.

"Mr. Yu Xiao, could you please come to the base?"

An Ming's cautious voice rang out.

He paused after saying that.

Holding his phone, An Ming turned to look at the several unidentified lumps of matter surrounding the dragon egg not far away.

"Yesterday, for some reason, clumps of matter were suddenly thrown out of the dragon egg."

"Researchers immediately examined them and found that these substances contained a large amount of minerals and some rare chemical components..."

An Ming lowered his voice and spoke softly.

Yu Xiao: ?

Wait, what Anming said... could it be that Shadow Dragon really did poop?

Damn, even dragon dung is this precious?

"We immediately reported it, and the higher-ups took it very seriously and immediately agreed to send someone over to investigate."

"But since you, Mr. Yu Xiao, are the one who sells dragon eggs, you should have more authority to say what this is and what should be done..."

An Ming's voice continued, his tone full of respect.

But this made Yu Xiao even more conflicted.

I do know, but how can I say it?

Yu Xiao was still hesitating, caught in a dilemma.

The Shadow Dragon awoke from its slumber, sensing the incredibly strong emotional fluctuations around it, and became extremely excited.

In order to hatch and embrace the world as soon as possible, the Shadow Dragon has decided to accelerate its growth rate once again.

[Incubation Countdown: 97 hours and 58 minutes]

Current assets: 1242000

"What the hell?"

Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao was somewhat stunned.

This thing's growth rate really does depend on the emotional fluctuations around it, doesn't it?

However, such strong emotional fluctuations... suggest that a group of people are conducting various studies on the dragon egg?

"Damn, these days, even a dragon taking a dump gets this much hype..."

Yu Xiao, the only one who knew the truth, made a comment.

I thought about it.

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

Yu Xiao spoke again and agreed to An Ming's request.

He was also a little curious.

Judging from Anming's cautious manner, what rare thing did he detect?

If it's really valuable, will I be able to command the Shadow Dragon to poop more often in the future?

...

Compared to Yu Xiao's curiosity.

Fang Zaixu was astonished.

Especially after seeing Yu Xiao pull a middle-aged man by the arm and walk up to an uncle wearing a hat, saying that he had come to report a case.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"From a suspected fraudster to a good citizen who intervened in a fight?"

He blinked, his face full of confusion.

He didn't know what happened the day before yesterday, he only knew that Yu Xiao was taken away by someone else, and then a day later, Yu Xiao reappeared on the internet.

A dozen minutes later.

Donghai City, Yutian District Public Security Bureau, Detention Center.

"How did you do that?"

"This Jiang Dexiang is quite skilled; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to rob dozens of houses without being caught."

"But he said you knocked him down in one go?"

Sitting across from Yu Xiao at the interrogation table, Fang Zaixu looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

He was more conflicted than anything else.

The last time Yu Xiao came here, he was sitting in the suspect's seat, but this time...

"He's weak."

"You know, some people are all show and no substance."

Yu Xiao glanced at Jiang Dexiang, who was shrinking back, and spoke calmly.

He paused after saying that.

Just as Fang Zaixu was about to say something.

"Putting that aside for now, Fang Zaixu is backed by a gang of thieves."

"Now that I've provided detailed intelligence, does that count as a merit?"

"I don't want empty fame, give me something tangible, like a few hundred thousand."
