Chapter 49 I was deceived before, how could I not know that the dragon egg was fake?
"Yes, yes, yes! I really saw it! I swear!"
Looking at the uniformed police officer in front of him, Wu Haiping nodded.
Upon hearing this...
"Damn it, I know the Hulk, but the Hulk also grows bigger all over, right?"
"And what about those guys with flames coming out of their bodies? Aren't they the Fantastic Four?"
Fang Zaixu turned around and looked at the man behind him who was taking a statement, and said speechlessly.
"Maybe he's been watching too many Hollywood blockbusters and is hallucinating."
The man echoed his sentiment.
The man was quite curious about his colleague, who was supposedly demoted to the Nanshan District Public Security Bureau for allegedly offending someone.
However, the man was even more curious about what Wu Haiping was talking about.
What grudge could they have held against him? He's given someone a concussion... and now he's even hallucinating...
"I think so too. Everyone's talking about science these days, so where does all this supernatural stuff come from?"
"It must be due to mental stimulation, which caused the illusion."
Fang nodded in the market.
Seriously, what Hulk + Fantastic Four? Do you think this is a real-life Hollywood blockbuster?
But that's strange... I feel like I've heard those words somewhere before...
There was also someone who confidently claimed that they had been dragged into an abyss...
"Okay, then I'll call Aoyama Mental Hospital."
Upon hearing Fang Zaixu's words, the man looked at Wu Haiping and the others with sympathy and pity.
When I picked up the landline and put it to my ear.
"But I heard you were just suddenly transferred here?"
"Do you know anything inside information about the lockdown in Donghai City last night?"
The man looked at Fang Zaixu with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, she met the man's gaze.
"What could I possibly know?"
"I'm confused myself. The director said I arrested the wrong person, so I was negligent in my duty."
"But I haven't arrested the wrong person during this period..."
Fang Zaixu waved his hand and spoke with a look of annoyance.
I think the only one I grabbed by mistake was Yu Xiao... but he was selling dragon eggs...
You mean, in the 21st century, someone is selling genuine dragon eggs?
...
Despite his confusion, Fang Zaixu, as a member of the Public Security Bureau, was still familiar with the procedures.
Someone reported you to the police that you were planning a robbery? What's going on? Just tell me if you're honest!
When faced with the choice between going to Qingshan Hospital or singing "Tears Behind Bars," Wu Haiping hesitated for a second before saying everything.
This statement has created a major problem.
It's the 21st century, how can there still be such egregious unfair competition?
So, while the CEO of Xingkang Decoration was still wondering why his left eyelid kept twitching, he was approached by a customer.
The boss of Xingkang Decoration was taken to the Public Security Bureau.
In a clean, tidy, and luxuriously decorated large single-level apartment in Fukang District, Donghai City.
"President Ling, I told you, the dragon egg thing is complete nonsense."
"I, Lao Tian, was swindled out of over a million yuan by someone using dragon eggs. You don't think I, Lao Tian, will fall for the same trick twice, do you?"
A middle-aged man with a large belly sat on the sofa and spoke with great dissatisfaction.
He paused after saying that.
He glanced at the 'dragon egg' not far away, which was covered in dust and no longer looked so mystical.
"Even if I, Lao Tian, starve to death, jump off the 28th floor, and become a beggar forever, I will never buy a dragon egg!"
Tian Zhengzhuan became even more furious.
Bah! You say you want to talk business, then I welcome that. You say you have dragon eggs to sell to me?
Fuck you!
"Mr. Tian, could you please let me finish? Who's behind this dragon egg seller...?"
On the other side, Ling Man, holding her phone, also looked helpless.
Whether the dragon egg is real or fake is another matter, but the first dragon egg was bought by the government. Would you buy it or not?
By buying dragon eggs, you can establish a connection with the country. The country will be the first buyer, and I will be the second/third/fourth... Are you in?
Besides, it was my daughter who asked me to persuade you personally, otherwise I wouldn't have...
A figure appeared in her mind, and Ling Man subconsciously glanced at it out of the corner of her eye.
Only then did he realize that Hong Zhixuan was nowhere to be seen around him.
"Hmm? Where's my daughter?"
Covering the phone's microphone, Ling Man looked at the butler beside her and asked curiously.
"Madam, Miss just received a phone call, and then..."
Meeting Ling Man's gaze, the butler bowed.
However, he hadn't finished speaking.
"Pah! What dragon egg? I, Old Tian, dare say this is definitely an accomplice of that swindler!"
An angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing this resentful remark, Ling Man narrowed her eyes.
As they walked toward Hong Zhixuan's bedroom.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Ling Man spoke calmly, then hung up the phone.
...
While Ling Man was worried about what had happened to Hong Zhixuan, she walked towards Hong Zhixuan's bedroom.
"Weiwei, do you have a stereotype about Xiao?"
"I went to Yu Xiao's company for a job interview today, and I found Yu Xiao to be a very nice person. He even swore that he was definitely not involved in any scams..."
Lying in bed looking out the window, Hong Zhixuan pouted and spoke into her phone.
"Zhixuan, are you running a fever?"
"The day before yesterday you were telling me that Yu Xiao was definitely a scammer, and today you've changed your mind?"
On the other side, Xia Wei held her phone with her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and asked with great confusion.
"I……"
Hearing this, Hong Zhixuan choked for a moment.
I thought Yu Xiao was going to kill someone to silence them, but it turns out he wasn't. So it's not too much for me to say a good word for Yu Xiao, is it?
Just as Hong Zhixuan was pondering how to answer.
"Don't worry, Zhixuan, my cousin who works at the anti-fraud center has already come to Donghai City."
"As long as Zhixuan continues to infiltrate Yu Xiao's company and gathers evidence of Yu Xiao's fraud, we'll definitely be able to put him in jail!"
"Hmph! I'll make Yu Xiao return the 2000 million he swindled from my dad!"
Xia Wei clenched her fist and spoke with unwavering resolve.
Hearing this, Hong Zhixuan blinked.
"Um, Vivi, I think..."
After thinking for a moment, Hong Zhixuan spoke up weakly.
He had only spoken halfway through his sentence.
"Crunch—"
Hong Zhixuan's bedroom door was pushed open.
Then.
"Zhixuan, how could you...?"
Ling Man walked in with a concerned expression.
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhixuan shook her head, about to say that it was nothing.
But Hong Zhixuan had just murmured something.
"Ding!"
Ling Man's phone rang.
Ling Man answered the phone with a curious expression.
"Hmm? Mr. Tian, you said you wanted to meet Yu Xiao?"
"Your investment in Xingkang Decoration has been seized? What does this have to do with Yu Xiao?"
"Didn't you say before... you were going to buy dragon eggs from Yu Xiao?"
As she listened to the words coming from her phone, Ling Man's expression changed constantly, from surprise to doubt to horror to disbelief.
While Ling Man's expression changed and Hong Zhixuan was curious.
"Tonight... at the Yutian Cafe in Hang Lung Plaza...?"
Xia Wei's eyes flickered as she learned of the news through her phone.
Hmph! Yu Xiao, just you wait until you're finished!
You tricked my dad out of his money! You fooled him! Now all he can think about is that egg. He goes straight for it after get off work and doesn't even bother asking me anything!
...
"Ahhh, choo~"
He sneezed violently.
"strangeness……"
Sniffing and glancing at the sunny and breezy scene around him, Yu Xiao was a little suspicious.
What happened? I've been sneezing ever since the way to the research base.
Yu Xiao, still curious, remained curious.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, thank you so much for your help..."
"Our main goal is to conduct a comprehensive test on the Shadow Dragon. Although we can approach the Shadow Dragon, pet it, or even carry it away, it will refuse to be tested if any instruments or similar equipment are used."
"Furthermore, we wanted to take a scale from the Shadow Dragon for some research, but the Shadow Dragon absolutely refused..."
An Ming, who was standing next to him, leaned forward and said with a fawning smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao glanced at An Ming.
Should I say that the Shadow Dragon not destroying the research base was a favor to you?
You're kidding me, talking about the arrogance of the True Dragon Clan...
I hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, let's keep going."
Yu Xiao waved his hand and strode into the depths of the corridor.
Just took a step.
[Upon hearing the Shadow Dragon's complaints, the Golden Dragon thought to itself, "No wonder it's such a coward, even its scales have been plucked."]
Feeling greatly pleased and sensing your attention, the Golden Dragon quickly bit off a fragment from the dragon egg and confidently declared that it was the Shadow Dragon, not him, who had disgraced the dragons.
[Due to the actions of the Golden Dragon, the growth rate has accelerated.]
