Chapter 30 It's the 21st century, and there are still people emitting black smoke?
Yu Xiao: ?
You mean, after crying for a while, the dragon realized I wasn't paying attention to him, so he cheered himself up?
"To be so intelligent even while still in the egg... Are all true dragons this intelligent?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiao touched his chin, considering a blind spot.
Yu Xiao was still pondering.
[Host, why did you stop halfway through your sentence?]
[Never mind, I did a search and found the company's registered address...]
[Host, I really won't turn into a little dragon, will I? Of course, I wouldn't mind if I were a dragon knight.]
[Host, do you sell Charmander? If not, I'm open to a Milk Dragon, but your price is a bit outrageous...]
A series of comments popped up on the screen.
But at this point, Yu Xiao was no longer of much concern.
After thinking about it.
"True Dragon Consulting Company will be hiring tomorrow. Everything I said before is still valid. By the way, I will pay social security and housing provident fund contributions to the highest standard."
Yu Xiao added.
...
For Yu Xiao, who was a seasoned slave in his previous life, it would be difficult to make him unaware of the pain points of working people.
What a joke! How could I not know what I'm pursuing?
After putting his phone away, Yu Xiao started the car again and drove towards his residence.
On a street a few hundred meters away from Guanhaiyuan residential area in Yutian District, Donghai City.
"A dragon breeding and consulting company? What the heck?"
Xia Wei stared at her phone screen, looking completely bewildered.
Hong Zhixuan, who was standing next to her, was also very puzzled.
Could it be that Yu Xiao, in the process of deceiving himself, has ended up deceiving himself as well?
Do we want to further develop and expand the fraudulent business?
I thought about it.
"Xia Wei, don't worry, we're best friends, I'll definitely support you."
"Isn't that so-called Zhenlong Consulting Company hiring tomorrow? Anyway, Yu Xiao doesn't know me, so I'll just apply."
"Once I join the company, I will definitely find a way to help you find evidence of Yu Xiao's fraud!"
Hong Zhixuan looked up at Xia Wei, clenched her fist, and spoke very seriously.
Hearing this and seeing Hong Zhixuan's determined expression, Xia Wei was somewhat moved.
I hesitated for a moment.
"Hasn't Mingyue Group always wanted to cooperate with Jianning Group to develop Shallow Bay next to Donghai City?"
"I'll talk to my dad when I get back. Anyway, Mingyue Group is quite powerful now, my dad will definitely agree!"
Xia Wei reached out and grasped Hong Zhixuan's hands, meeting Hong Zhixuan's gaze, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Upon hearing Xia Wei's words, Hong Zhixuan's face flushed slightly, and she nodded emphatically.
The sisters shared a deep bond for over ten minutes.
Xia Wei finished the last sip of her taro boba milk tea and threw it away in a trash can.
"See you tonight! I'm heading back now!"
Xia Wei waved to Hong Zhixuan.
Hong Zhixuan also waved goodbye.
After watching Xia Wei walk away.
"Go find your younger brother. I already told him this morning, and he's probably already taken the day off, right?"
Hong Zhixuan turned around and walked towards Guanhaiyuan residential area.
After walking for a few minutes...
"Hmm? That person is...?"
As she passed the Guanhaiyuan parking garage, Hong Zhixuan paused, stunned, as she watched the young man getting out of the car not far away.
Isn't that Yu Xiao?
What's he doing here? Didn't Xia Wei say Yu Xiao was renting a place?
But since we've run into each other here...
"Hmph! I'd like to see who you're trying to scam this time!"
Hong Zhixuan took out her phone from her pocket, her eyes darted around for a moment, and then walked to the side.
...
Yu Xiao was still curious about why Xu Jianming had contacted him.
There's nothing behind Jiang Dexiang's gang of thieves. They've all been arrested now, so what could possibly happen to them?
I just stepped out of the garage.
"Um?"
Looking at the several bags of trash carelessly discarded on the ground next to him, Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Who is this? So rude!
He frowned.
"Never mind, I'll talk to the property management later..."
Shaking his head and sighing, Yu Xiao continued walking forward.
He had just taken one step.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Wisps of black smoke rose from Yu Xiao's body.
Seeing this scene.
"What's going on? Has this activated abyssal energy? But I'm not injured. Did I get bitten by a mosquito?"
Yu Xiao stopped, somewhat curious.
...
Yu Xiao, still curious, remained curious.
But in the bushes not far behind Yu Xiao.
Hong Zhixuan held her phone, staring blankly at the scene before her.
"Remember to record Yu Xiao! He's bound to get his shoes wet if he walks by the river often enough."
Even though Xia Wei on the other end of the phone was very excited, Hong Zhixuan didn't care about anything else.
"What's going on?"
"Why is black smoke suddenly coming out of my body? What's going on?"
Hong Zhixuan's pupils widened as she looked at Yu Xiao in front of her.
She suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if her worldview was being constantly shattered and then reassembled.
Most importantly, if black smoke is coming out of a person's body, who is that person?
As Hong Zhixuan's expression changed rapidly, Yu Xiao continued walking forward.
Until Yu Xiao's figure disappeared.
"Zhixuan? Are you listening? What are you doing?"
Xia Wei's voice came through the phone.
Hearing the slightly anxious tone, Hong Zhixuan snapped out of her daze.
"Weiwei...who exactly is Yu Xiao?"
Taking a deep breath, Hong Zhixuan spoke hesitantly.
"Who else could it be? Some weirdo who sold dragon eggs at a matchmaking event, a fraudster who sold my dad dragon eggs for 500 million?"
Hearing Hong Zhixuan say this, Xia Wei became a little curious.
He paused after saying that.
"Don't tell me you saw a dragon! We're both highly educated people; we don't believe in science, but you believe in dragons?"
Xia Wei held the phone and spoke with an amused expression.
"..."
Hong Zhixuan was silent for a moment.
After a while.
It wasn't until Xia Wei's fifth prompting question came down.
"I saw black smoke coming out of Yu Xiao's body..."
Hong Zhixuan spoke weakly.
Xia Wei: ?
The air suddenly became quiet.
Hong Zhixuan held the phone to her ear, her throat bobbing; Xia Wei held the phone to her ear, her phoenix eyes wide.
Five minutes later.
"Zhixuan, are you out of your mind? It's the 21st century, and people are still emitting black smoke?"
"Even if you want to say Yu Xiao is a charlatan, you don't need to say it like that, do you?"
Xia Wei's sneer reached Hong Zhixuan's ears through the phone.
"But I really saw it... I swear..."
Hearing this, Hong Zhixuan did not get angry, but spoke weakly.
But after this statement of proof was made...
"Stop talking nonsense, you must have seen wrong. There's only one possibility for someone to be emitting black smoke: Yu Xiao must have set himself on fire, right?"
Xia Wei's words came through the phone with even more certainty.
Hong Zhixuan did not speak.
What was that I just saw? And how did Yu Xiao manage to emit black smoke from his body?
Most importantly, why did the black smoke appear on Yu Xiao's body, stay for more than ten seconds, and then completely dissipate?
...
Yu Xiao was also very puzzled.
Because when he got to his own door, he found Xu Jianming waiting for him there.
Behind Xu Jianming were several middle-aged men.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, let me introduce you. This is Lu Guocheng, Director of the Public Security Department; this is Gu Youkang, Director of the Industry and Commerce Department; this is Rong Shengde, Director of the Tax Department..."
Meeting Yu Xiao's gaze, Xu Jianming bowed, pointed to the people behind him, and began to introduce them.
Yu Xiao: ?
What's going on here? Why such a big fuss?
I thought about it.
"What do you need me for?"
After greeting everyone, Yu Xiao took out his key from his pocket and opened the door.
"The main reason is that Jiang Dexiang broke into a wealthy man's house some years ago and discovered that the wealthy man also had a giant egg in his house."
"Based on Jiang Dexiang's description, we found that this egg is somewhat similar to the egg that Mr. Yu Xiao sold to us."
"So I'd like to ask Mr. Yu Xiao, are these eggs ones you sold before, or are there other people selling dragon eggs?"
