Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 310 The Golden Finger!
Ximen Lang never expected that such words as "what kind of behavior is this?" would come out of the mouth of Xia Yiyi, a modern person.

It's simply stunning.

Ximen Lang hurriedly inquired.

How old are you?

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"Tell me, what year were you born?"

"2003"

"2003? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were born in 1903!"

Ximen Lang was truly defeated by Xia Yiyi's even more outdated and conservative ideas than those of the ancients, he said speechlessly.

"What era are we living in? We've been in the new century for so many years, yet your thinking is still so outdated and your ideas are still so old-fashioned!"

"I'm begging you, open your eyes and look at the world! If you don't like it, I'll get you an internet connection so we can go online! Take a good look at how open things have become now, and then you can talk to me like that again!"

"You're going to get criticized and lectured just for holding hands? Why don't you say you'll be drowned in a pig cage?"

Don't say it, don't say it!
If she could, Xia Yiyi really wanted to throw Ximen Lang and Bai Ling, that adulterous couple, into a pig cage and give them a good soak in the river!
That's the same Luo, the high-ranking official that Ximen Lang described as so big that the book would disappear if he got any bigger. Xia Yiyi wanted to point her finger at him and give him a good scolding.
"Do you have any bottom line?! Can't we even have a shred of decency?! You're so desperate to win over Ximen Lang! You're disregarding all propriety, letting them sleep in the same bed and do all that! Have you no shame?!"

But she can't.

Even so, she went a bit too far.

Helpless, Xia Yiyi had no choice but to patch up the story again.

"This is our place, and that's that place. How can you confuse the two? Keeping a mistress isn't illegal here, but try it over there! You even slept with her. What if someone reports you?"

"So what if I get reported? I have people in the neighborhood committee, the subdistrict office, the district, the city, even the province and the ministry! I've got people like Lao Luo, such a high-ranking official, and I've even become his buddy! Aunt Wang, who's more powerful than a county magistrate, treats me like her own son!"

“Even I myself am a legitimate leader, with many, many people under my command! Everyone here, from top to bottom, is one of my people. Try reporting one of them! Do you believe I can just throw a tantrum and say, ‘Who dares to accuse me?’”

Ximen Lang even hoped that those guys in the courtyard who didn't like him would go to the relevant departments to report him.

But it's obvious that none of the people who survived in that era were stupid!

The only two people who might have a chance to sabotage him behind his back were the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai. One of them was moved to the street office and was personally guarded by Director Wang, while the other treated him like an ancestor and had to smile at him every day.

Even though Ximen Lang wanted to show off his spoiled brat ways, he didn't even have the chance.

"I have to say, this is truly a pity."

of course
"It could also be because I have too much personal charm and am too nice! Otherwise, you can't explain it! Really, there are good people everywhere over there! Everyone calls me 'Brother Lang,' and I'm a little embarrassed by their enthusiasm."

A narcissistic yet information-packed display left Xia Yiyi momentarily speechless, unsure how to evaluate the other person's utterly worthless morals.

A tremendous sense of crisis surged into my heart.

Already lacking a sense of security, Xia Yiyi, now completely subdued by what she'd been done to, immediately lost her arrogance.

They immediately adjusted all their plans, including their attitude towards Simon Lang.

He blurted out a sentence without even opening his mouth.

"You've been free lately, haven't you? Perfect, stay here and don't leave."

"Stay here and don't leave?! How can that be? Although I understand your eagerness to have me, I'm a decent person. I'm the epitome of a virtuous man, I can't do anything reckless!" Just as Xia Yiyi was about to tell Ximen Lang, her face full of black lines, that he was overthinking things...
"We should wait until your injuries heal before talking about it, otherwise, what's the point?"

"This is interesting!"

"It's neither as cunning as Hao Pingchuan described, nor is it deliberately hiding its true abilities."

"This is interesting!"

I genuinely find this matter increasingly interesting the more I think about it.

Having already figured out the gist of it, Lao Luo got up and started searching through the bookshelf behind his desk, looking for something.

He turned around and asked Bai Ling and the others.

"What was that phrase Ah Lang always said? 'Eliminate all the impossibilities, and what remains, however improbable, is the truth.' Yes, that's it!"

"Now we've ruled out both main reasons, and each reason is quite valid and beyond question. So the question is, what is the truth?"

Hao Pingchuan looked completely bewildered when asked the question.

Realizing he had chosen the wrong person, Lao Luo's face darkened, and he decisively looked away with extreme disgust.

Another clever person has emerged, unconditionally supporting Ximen Lang. If anyone says a bad word about Ximen Lang, she immediately transforms into a protective mother hen, adopting a fighting stance – Director Wang.

He asked her again.

"Director Wang, what do you think the truth is?"

"Me? I think..."

I thought and thought for a long time, but Director Wang still didn't figure anything out.

He sighed silently in his heart.

Luo pinned his last hopes on Bai Ling, who was the most educated and quick-witted among them.

I'm afraid that Bai Ling, like Hao Pingchuan and Director Wang, won't be able to accurately understand what I mean.

He quickly picked out a large stack of books from the bookshelf. They were all online novels that Ximen Lang had brought back from the future to kill time, since he was afraid of being reported for taking out his phone too often after arriving at the courtyard house.

A thick stack of books was placed directly in front of Bai Ling, as if she wanted to write the answer directly on her face.

Luo asked for the third time.

"Bai Ling, you've read the books A Lang brought back. What do you think the truth is?"

Upon hearing Lao Luo's words, Bai Ling's first reaction
"These books are all a joke. They lack writing style, depth, and originality, and have no practical significance whatsoever! They're just books designed to crush the ambitions of people like Ximen Lang. What truth can you possibly glean from them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ling realized something was wrong.

"You mean those various cheat codes that inevitably appear in these books?"

Seeing that Bai Ling finally realized the problem, Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"That's right! Excluding all the impossibilities, the truth can only be this one! That is, Ah Lang, who can freely travel between the two worlds and has a so-called golden finger, whose golden finger itself has the function of improving his physique and enhancing his physical fitness!"

　More people have arrived, and they're chatting in the living room right now.
