"Shuncai, did you really see a Sea Dragon on this island?"
Little Xin Shuncai was sitting in the car. The pouring rain washed over the car, as if it was going to wash away the black paint.
"I can't be wrong, Dad." Xin Shuncai was young, but he was very mature with a calm temperament.
"Mhm." Xin Shuncai's father nodded and looked at the heavy rain with a deep gaze.
They had traveled thousands of miles to come here, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
A few low-key affordable cars slowly drove into the village. However, driving in such a stormy weather made them very conspicuous.
"Don't stop the rain, don't stop the rain. It's going to be annoying if we don't open for business."
The kid from the small store was lying at the front desk, playing with his phone with the glass closed. He couldn't help but glance at the cars.
The people from the Ledi Conglomerate got out of the car and opened their umbrellas to block the wind and rain.
The Ledi Conglomerate was a big organization. Of course, they wouldn't listen to Xin Shuncai's words and travel thousands of miles to Deluo Island, even if this person was a young master of their conglomerate.
A child's words carried no harm, and no one knew whether they were true or not. Otherwise, no one would have taken them seriously during their vacation on the island. After separating from Pu Piaole, this clever child told his experiences in an orderly manner. No one took it seriously. After all, at his age, anything could come out of a child's mouth.
Although the supernatural existence was in the neighboring Island nation, it was still a bit far away from Nanzaoyang. Therefore, the upper class didn't have much of an interest in the supernatural existence.
However, after the appearance of the Human-skinned Ghost in Seoul, Xin Shuncai's sighting of a Sea Dragon was immediately recalled.
It was very simple to confirm the authenticity. Since Xin Shuncai said that he encountered the sea dragon at the same time as another person, he would first have to identify this person from the civil administration system's data. The residents' personal information wasn't hidden from the corporations at all. The information of all the villagers near the beach was presented to Xin Shuncai for him to identify.
The conglomerate's idea was clear. It was the simplest way to find this witness to verify the authenticity of the information.
However, after identifying the witness and collecting personal information, the situation changed!
There was a major change in Pu Piaole's bank account. Although he only had a little more than twenty million Early Sheep Coins in his account, which was not worth mentioning, considering his identity as a hoodlum, this was a huge sum of money for him. He could not earn so much money through normal channels!
There were three deposits, each with a few million. Before this, Pu Piaole's account only had a pitiful twenty or thirty thousand Early Sheep Coins.
There was definitely something fishy going on. Unfortunately, personal pawnshops weren't within the system of the corporations or the government. Otherwise, they would be able to produce results with a simple investigation.
One, two, five … The black umbrellas fought against the torrential rain.
Armed with umbrellas, the Chaebol's' security 'personnel walked steadily towards the Park Residence in leather shoes.
…
"What did you do when you got home? Your clothes are all wet."
The old maidservant calmly took out a towel and clothes from the room and scolded Pu Piaole, who was running around in the room, "Come on, take off your clothes and put them on."
Pu Piaole crazily took out a sack and various certificates from the room, ignoring the old maidservant's concerned actions.
The rainwater soaked Pu Piaole's clothes and splashed onto the furniture in the living room. The white floor was stepped on by the dirt of his shoes and turned black.
"Mom, let's hurry up and get on the plane to a visa-free country. Where did you put your documents?
Find them. "
Pu Piaole dragged out a heavy sack from under the bed.
The sack rattled. Inside were the precious metals that Pu Piaole had obtained through 'honest trade.'
These precious metals couldn't be brought on the plane, and the patterns of the jewelry and gold and silver ingots couldn't be checked. He could only bury them first, or hand them over to the Sea Dragon and ask for them later.
No, if he just left like this, he wouldn't even be able to see the Sea Dragon in the future, let alone ask the Sea Dragon for them.
Could it be that he could only bury them like this?
He couldn't accept it!
"Kid, did you hear what I said? Why are you acting so mysteriously with that big sack …"
His mother walked over and hit Pu Piaole's shoulder. His chubby mother was even stronger than Pu Piaole, so her slap made Pu Piaole lose his balance, and the sack fell to the ground.
All the gold and silver jewelry inside were poured out in one go!
Clatter! Clatter!
The silver pushed the gold, and the gold pushed the jewelry. The dazzling array of jewelry poured out in torrents.
There were rings and necklaces made of gold, animal and human statues made of silver, and a Buddha carved pen holder inlaid with gems.
Crack!!!
A sudden clap of thunder shone through the glass window, making these treasures sparkle.
Clatter!
An ingot of gold fell from the jewelry hill and hit his mother's heart.
"This, this, this …"
Covering her mouth, the old maidservant's whole body trembled. Her bucket-like waist twisted like a snake, and her mouth opened wide enough to swallow all the gold and silver.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Pu Piaole sighed and hurriedly put the treasures into the sack.
With a scream, she threw away Pu Piaole's clothes. Then, the old maidservant squatted down and put her arms around Pu Piaole's thick arms to pick up the treasures.
She looked even more anxious than Pu Piaole.
"This, this, where did you steal all these?
From another village? "
"Mom, what steal? Don't make it sound so bad. I got them through legitimate transactions."
His mother didn't believe that Pu Piaole could get these treasures through legitimate means. Now, she only hoped that it wasn't the bloody loot her son got from killing people.
If it was stolen … she would pretend that she didn't know.
"How much is this? Did you rob a jewelry store?
No wonder you have to run. No wonder you have to run. "
Good.
Pu Piaole nodded gloomily. Regardless of what his mother misunderstood, at least he knew that he had to run now.
While he was still packing, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard wall.
Knock, knock.
Even in the stormy weather, the sound could be heard clearly. The person outside was not knocking on the door, but pounding on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Are they here to catch you, brat?"
The old woman complained. Her hands were busy packing the treasures, and she couldn't spare a hand to open the door.
Besides, it was too strange to knock on the door in the storm. Did something happen to my son, and the police came to find me?
Pu Piaole gritted his teeth and gave up packing. He was thinking about whether he had a chance to escape now.
The person who knocked on the door was very persistent. Even if no one answered, he still didn't give up. Knock, knock. The sound of thunder echoed, and it was as urgent as a ghost.
Knock, knock, knock!!!
A few minutes later, the knocking turned into a ramming. The courtyard door was swaying, and someone was crazily banging on it.
"Ah Xi!"
His mother packed up the sack and hid it in the cellar. Then, she walked toward the courtyard door.
"I'll deal with it. Don't talk."
If she didn't open the door, the courtyard door would be knocked open!
The bolt almost fell off from the frame, and the door creaked and was on the verge of collapse.
"Who is it?
Stop knocking. I hear you! "
After removing the barrier and opening the courtyard door, his mother shouted with great momentum.
Hearing the middle-aged woman's roar, a group of men in suits walked in.
The moment the old woman saw them, her heart sank. Pu Piaole, who climbed the courtyard wall empty-handed, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Didn't my mother see that he was climbing the wall? He could open the door later!
"Are you Pu Piaole?"
