Chapter 2 I didn't commit fraud! I'm selling real dragon eggs!
Hearing this, and looking at the two serious-looking men in hats in front of him, Yu Xiao suddenly felt that there was something he didn't know whether he should say.
I'm just selling dragon eggs! And you're accusing me of fraud!
Who would be a good person who sells dragon eggs to commit fraud?!
But after thinking about it...
"All right……"
Yu Xiao spoke up timidly.
Uncle Hat is here, what can we do?
Hearing this and seeing Yu Xiao's sensible demeanor, the two men in hats breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other for a moment.
"Let's go. You're just a suspect, so we won't do anything."
With a sigh, the older man in the hat put his hand on Yu Xiao's shoulder.
Fang Zaixu, a diligent staff member of the Yutian District Security Station of the Eastern Sea Security Division of the Great Xia Dynasty, was speechless after hearing about the report.
These days, scams are really coming out in all shapes and sizes... even selling dragon eggs...
The last time someone sold dragon eggs was the one before that.
Besides, what they're selling are fossils, dinosaur eggs.
So you're saying you're selling real dragon eggs? That they can hatch into real dragons?
If you can hatch a dragon, I'll eat the shoes right now!
...
Yu Xiao was quite confident that the dragon eggs he sold could hatch into real dragons.
The system said it could hatch, how could I not believe it!
However, Yu Xiao is currently facing an objective problem.
"What should we do?"
"Damn it, I, Yu Xiao, never imagined that I, who neither killed nor committed arson, would one day be arrested for selling dragon eggs..."
"How can I explain that I'm not committing fraud, but rather selling dragon eggs that can hatch into real dragons?"
Sitting in the police car, watching the scenery rushing past the window, Yu Xiao's mind raced.
Unless a real dragon hatches immediately, it will be skinned alive no matter what.
But the problem is, a dragon egg costs 30...
Unless Yu Xiao is sold off.
But no matter what Yu Xiao was thinking.
Twenty minutes later, the police car arrived at the Yutian District Public Security Bureau in Donghai City.
Despite his reluctance, Yu Xiao, looking distressed, could only get off the car under pressure.
A dozen minutes later.
"Bang!"
As the steel doors of the detention center were closed.
"Tell me, why do you want to sell dragon eggs?"
Fang sat down in the chair opposite Yu Xiao in the market.
"No, the dragon eggs I sell really can hatch into real dragons, I'm not lying!"
Yu Xiao looked very serious.
"real?"
Upon hearing Yu Xiao's words, Fang Zaixu scoffed.
"This is the 21st century, a modern metropolis. You're telling me you can hatch a real dragon?"
Looking at Yu Xiao with a suspicious expression, Fang Zaixu's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"I……"
Yu Xiao opened his mouth, but was speechless.
"Why don't you take out the dragon egg and let me see it?"
"I studied archaeology for a few years in college, let me see if you're mistaking an ostrich egg for a dragon egg."
Seeing Yu Xiao's reaction, Fang Zaixu shook his head.
Yu Xiao: ?
His gaze turned to the system space, to the three enormous eggs placed within it.
Each egg is half a person tall.
Furthermore, strange runes were dancing on the surface of the eggshell.
"A dragon egg costs 300,000. How am I supposed to get it out?"
Yu Xiao was a little conflicted.
Although he knew it was true, he couldn't produce it!
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao simply opened his mouth and then closed it again.
"What? You're speechless?"
Fang Zaixu sighed.
So young, with hands and feet, what couldn't he do? Why did he have to commit fraud...?
Sigh, it really is...
I felt a pang of sadness.
"We investigated your activity records on different online platforms over the past three years."
"When you're promoting products, you always add the phrase 'big and round' and 'Men who buy it become dragon riders, women who buy it become dragon knights.'"
"Now, I suspect you're not only involved in fraud, but also in disseminating obscene content on public platforms. How do you explain that?"
Fang Zaixu looked at Yu Xiao and spoke calmly.
Yu Xiao: ?
"No, I..."
Yu Xiao opened his mouth, about to explain.
This time it's really serious, Yu Xiao thought.
However, Yu Xiao's explanation was only halfway through.
"Bang!"
The detention center gate was suddenly pushed open.
Then, in Yu Xiao's view, a woman wearing a uniform skirt walked in, and behind her were several men who were also wearing professional work clothes.
"This is……"
Yu Xiao was still in a daze when he saw this.
"Chief!"
Fang Zaixu suddenly stood up and bowed to a middle-aged man behind the woman.
Hearing this, he glanced at the fawning expression on Fang Zaixu's face.
"Director?"
Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows.
The head of the Public Security Bureau was just following behind, so what kind of entourage is this...?
The next moment, Yu Xiao suddenly realized something.
She forced a gentle smile onto her face.
"Yu Xiao, a native of Donghai City, grew up in..."
The woman looked at Yu Xiao, her mouth slightly open, and began to recount Yu Xiao's entire life story as if she knew it by heart.
Hearing this, Yu Xiao's suspicions were confirmed.
"Just as I expected..."
Yu Xiao's eyes flickered, and he had an idea.
He glanced at the several men behind the woman, and at Fang Zaixu, who had become more cautious.
"Should we change rooms?"
When their eyes met, Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the woman's eyes.
...
A dozen minutes later.
Inside the police station, there is a nicely decorated office.
"You're so calm, do you already know who we are?"
Sitting opposite Yu Xiao, the woman looked at him, raised her eyebrows, and asked curiously.
"I'm just guessing."
Yu Xiao didn't answer, he just shrugged.
Having lived two lives and possessing years of experience as a beast of burden, he noticed a police station chief standing behind the woman.
Yu Xiao then basically understood.
He is an official of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"It seems you already know."
Upon hearing Yu Xiao's ambiguous answer, the woman's lips curled into a smile.
He picked up a plastic bag from the table and took out several documents from it.
We noticed you three years ago.
"Although there are many live-streaming e-commerce hosts, you are the first to sell dragon eggs."
"We once suspected that you were either a simple fraudster or that you had unearthed dinosaur fossils but wanted to profit from them."
"But based on your consistent words and actions, we can't draw any conclusions..."
The woman placed the documents on the table, looked at Yu Xiao, and spoke earnestly.
"It's hard to say whether this is fraud or if you're profiting in some way."
"However, based on the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' in the laws of Great Xia, we have decided to purchase a dragon egg from you ourselves and then hatch it."
"If a real dragon hatches in a week, then what you said is true, and from then on you will be able to obtain benefits you never imagined."
"But if not, you know, for the sake of people's property security, fraud must be nipped in the bud."
The woman continued speaking, and by the end, her expression had become serious.
Yu Xiao remained silent.
Although fraud incidents are rampant in the 21st century, the public's awareness of fraud prevention has also increased.
But what I'm selling is a real dragon! A real dragon!
He sighed.
"Okay, what's your name?"
Yu Xiao nodded, having made his decision.
Yu Xiao was a little curious as to why the Great Xia government had contacted him, but that wasn't his focus.
Yu Xiao mainly discovered that each dragon egg costing 30 yuan required at least a million yuan to raise each month, an expense that few people could afford.
Even a multi-millionaire can go bankrupt in one or two years.
So, to sell dragon eggs, you need to sell more than just one or two.
The best approach is to cooperate with the country.
"Xia Qinglan, Section Chief of the First Division of the Special Intelligence Department of the Internet."
The woman grinned, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.
Yu Xiao: ?
"Xia...do you know someone named Xia Wei?"
Yu Xiao spoke up subconsciously.
That's my sister.
