Chapter 127
Since that day when he heard about the reaction of the Yu family from his third uncle, he knew that Yu Xunhuan was definitely up to something. However, the last time this news had been brushed off by Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan, and without solid evidence, just a word wouldn’t mean anything.
Back and forth it was just “You’re sick” and “I’m not sick.” Wasn’t that something a bunch of elementary school kids would do?!
Liang Jing found the spot where Su Yitong and the others were grinding dungeons and spent a hefty sum to bribe the two guards watching over the dungeon’s light screen. As long as they could collect some of Yu Xunhuan’s blood, they would be rewarded with a full set of gear and 30 gold coins.
During this time, Su Yitong and the others had switched dungeons due to leveling up, and Liang Jing was ready to bribe the new guards again. To his surprise, Su Yitong thought the two guards were too quiet and took them along to the new dungeon.
From mid-July to mid-August, just a few days ago, Liang Jing finally got what he wanted!
A few days ago, when Yu Xunhuan exited the dungeon, there was blood at the corner of his mouth. After wiping it away, he flicked his hand, and just a few drops were quickly collected by the guards.
Though it was only a few drops, the Liang family had a maid with a divine gift that allowed her to replicate blood. While there were many limitations and time constraints, replicating a few drops of blood was more than enough!
Liang Jing also managed to get his hands on Yu Qingshan’s blood—this was much simpler; he just sent someone to sneak into the villa and take a sample.
So that morning, a blood test result and a report confirming the parent-child relationship between that blood and Yu Qingshan were laid out on the desk.
Liang Sha sat behind the desk, while Liang Jing and Liang Yuchuan sat across from her.
Liang Sha was a woman who looked nothing like Liang Yuchuan. Liang Yuchuan had a strikingly glamorous appearance, a kind of beauty that was hard to ignore, while Liang Sha appeared gentle and refined, wearing a pair of rimless glasses.
At first glance, one might think she was a florist or a carefree painter who traveled around with a sketchpad, unconcerned about life’s troubles.
Liang Yuchuan asked, “But this doesn’t prove it’s Yu Xunhuan, right? What if they play tricks and say it’s Yu Xunge who’s sick?”
Liang Sha chuckled at her foolish daughter: “Let’s not forget, Yu Xunge isn’t mute. Just the fact that she has the only dragon in the world, and that she’s the face of modern Huaxia, means you can bet that even if she doesn’t come out to clarify, if Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan dare to say that, the Special Affairs Bureau will storm into the Su family that very night to take Yu Xunhuan for a check-up. Once in the hospital, regardless of whether Yu Xunge is sick or not, the one who’ll be deemed sick will be Yu Xunhuan.”
Liang Yuchuan shyly smiled. Although she was afraid of her mother, she admired and loved her the most. Even if Liang Sha was laughing at her foolishness, her gentle tone and smile made Liang Yuchuan happy.
Liang Jing rubbed his hands together excitedly, “Sister, when are we going to post this online?”
Liang Yuchuan was grinning beside him.
Liang Sha lightly laughed, “Why post it online? Once the card is out, it’s gone. Wouldn’t it be better to use this report to threaten Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan? Venting our anger is something only children do; what we want is profit.”
Suddenly, Liang Jing said, “Wait, Sister, that Baozi just contacted me again, saying he has news about the Su family’s young lady.”
【Bao Pai Jiu】: Good news, good news! Want to buy the Su family’s young lady’s divine gift? This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer!
【Liang Jing】: What level? Is it detailed? How accurate is the data? Is it precise to a percentage, or just “about,” “roughly,” “estimated”? Is it all skills or just one? Is this something someone else asked you to do, or do you want to sell it yourself?
【Bao Pai Jiu】: 20 gold coins. You won’t regret buying it.
Liang Jing immediately forwarded the previous message without any changes.
【Bao Pai Jiu】: S-level, the skill effects are fairly detailed, but the data is a bit rough, only one skill. I’m not doing dirty work this time, but I can give you two small pieces of news about what she’s done with this divine gift recently.
【Liang Jing】: 8 gold coins. If you don’t sell, forget it. What good does knowing her divine gift do me? It’s just going to cause some trouble for her; can I even take it from her?
【Bao Pai Jiu】: You weren’t like this before, Liang Zong. You used to give me bonuses of 10 gold coins without hesitation.
【Liang Jing】: Yes, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. Others sell news based on trust, while you seem to thrive on chaos. Every question I ask you is a pit I’ve already fallen into.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
Liang Jing looked up to see Liang Sha frowning slightly at him.
Liang Sha: “Are you chatting with someone?”
Liang Jing squeezed his legs together, “Coming right up!!!”
【Liang Jing】: 8 gold coins. If you’re selling, send it to my email.
【Bao Pai Jiu】: Alright, sigh, I’m making less money this time.
Liang Jing immediately forwarded the email from Bao Pai Jiu to Liang Sha and Liang Yuchuan.
In less than a minute, all three of them were smiling.
……
At the Su family.
Su Langfeng had not been doing well lately.
Due to Su Yitong, the Su family had early involvement in the internal testing, but then they started to hit a streak of bad luck.
First, a large amount of gold was lost from the treasury, and then his daughter’s ear was cut off. As if that wasn’t enough, it felt like the whole world was demanding gold! Buying belts required gold! Buying potions required gold!
In the days leading up to the game’s official invasion, he even received a tip from an informant in the Special Affairs Bureau that, back in late December, they had retrieved a significant amount of gold…
It was this last piece of news that made Su Langfeng truly decide to convert part of his assets into gold.
And what happened? On the very day he exchanged it, a portion was stolen, and since then, all those who had been clamoring for gold had vanished!
Where did that bunch of loafers from the Special Affairs Bureau go after retrieving the gold…?
But that wasn’t all; whenever he and Su Baibo and Su Jinxuan led a team to clear dungeons, there were always a few unlucky souls. Though they didn’t say anything, he knew they all wanted to team up with Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan. Those two were famously lucky in the Su family.
Especially Yu Xunhuan, whose crafted jewelry always had top-tier attributes.
But those two kids claimed that their team leveled up faster and didn’t like to carry others. For a while, they took 15 people from their house, but after some time, they kicked them all out…
Su Langfeng took a drag from his cigarette and asked Su Baibo, who was sitting across from him, “Do you think she doesn’t want to take them, or is she hiding something from us?”
Su Baibo didn’t answer that question but instead brought up another matter: “It’s getting harder to invite her back to sing the Hope Hymn lately.”
Su Langfeng chuckled softly, his voice filled with affection: “She’s proud. If you ask her to sing for the family, it’s no surprise she throws a tantrum. You need to pamper your sister a bit more.”
Su Baibo smiled helplessly: “She can pick anything good from the house; what more do I need to do to pamper her?”
As they were chatting, they both received a message from Bao Pai Jiu.
【Chapter 154: Only when I’m well can the Su family be well!】
You have to hand it to Bao Pai Jiu!
There are other message peddlers, but those are usually connected to the heads of families or factions, unlike Baozi, who directly connects with the leaders of various families.
No one knows how she does it.
After reading the message, Su Langfeng’s first action was to tell Su Baibo that Baozi had come to sell him news.
Su Baibo slowly closed his mouth; his first reaction was the same.
They had once shared a meal at the same table, both spending money to buy news from Baozi at the same time…
【Su Langfeng】: Just talk to me; my son is right across from me.
【Bao Pai Jiu】: Ah, haha, what a coincidence! Want to buy? You must be interested in the recent movements of the Su young lady.
【Su Langfeng】: How could I not know about my daughter’s affairs?
【Bao Pai Jiu】: Oh? Are you talking about the player you sent to follow her?
【Su Langfeng】: Has he been bought off by Su Yitong?
【Bao Pai Jiu】: Consider that a little gift from me.
【Su Langfeng】: How much?
【Bao Pai Jiu】: The Su family is straightforward, not expensive, 20 gold coins. I can send the news to the boss first; if you think it’s worth it, just pay.
Though she said that, Su Langfeng would definitely pay; his face was worth more than 20 gold coins. But with Liang Jing, that was another story… that bastard might not only refuse but also send back a message saying, “Hahaha, put it on the tab.”
After receiving the email, Su Langfeng suppressed his anger and transferred the money.
He didn’t care what Su Yitong was doing at the moment; he directly called her to come back to the old Su family residence as soon as possible.
Su Yitong was leveling up outside and returned home with Yu Xunhuan only in the evening. Thinking about how lucky this person was, cooking for the Su family and absorbing their luck, everything seemed to go smoothly for him. Su Yitong took Yu Xunhuan straight to Su Langfeng’s study.
As soon as she stepped into the study, she sensed that the atmosphere was off.
Not only Su Langfeng, but even Su Baibo looked at her with a reproachful gaze. Connecting this with the timing of the phone call, it had been a whole day, and they were still angry? Were they really that temperamental?
Su Langfeng decided to give Su Yitong one more chance. He said in a deep voice, “Yitong, it’s time to hand over the Jiaolong matter.”
Su Yitong found a spot to sit down. She wasn’t surprised; she was just curious that they had come so quickly: “What’s the reason?”
Su Langfeng: “Do you think I don’t know what you’ve been up to? I’ve been giving you chances! I’ve been patient! You don’t want to sing the Hope Hymn for the Su family every day, fine, I understand your pride, and I won’t force you. You said once a week, and I agreed because, in my heart, your happiness is more important than anything!”
