Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 420 Robbed

Were we set up?

Not necessarily impossible.

You can't fool Xu Yue, but you might be able to fool the people around him.

Lu Zhenyu had never cultivated, so he naturally couldn't tell if the thing was real or fake, but judging from its appearance, it really might be.

Even if it's just a possibility, Xu Yue won't let it go.

It was clearly too late for him to go in person.

Then we can only ask Lu Zhenyu to buy it for us.

"Why blame you?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "Since it's been put on the auction house, even if it's not what I wanted, it's still something worth collecting."

“I can’t understand the world of the rich,” Xiong Yan said. “Aren’t you afraid of being ripped off?”

Despite saying this, Xiong Yan still sent a message to Lu Zhenyu.

She could clearly see that Xu Yue really wanted the spirit pearl he had mentioned earlier.

Even if it's just a possibility, he's willing to buy it back at a high price.

“Zhenyu brought the funds to purchase goods,” Xiong Yan said. “Remember to have someone transfer the money to him later.”

"Don't worry." Xu Yue nodded.

Although the farm has invested in many projects, it has plenty of working capital.

It's not like I can't afford to buy something.

Besides, if the price is too high, Lu Zhenyu will definitely call.

"Soon?"

Xiong Yan went to watch Zhang Ruoxi and the others play mahjong, but Xu Jianghe brought over a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Yue.

"Hmm!" Xu Jianghe nodded and said, "If I were to force a breakthrough, I would be 80% confident now."

80% certainty?

That's undoubtedly very high.

Some people want to force their way through but can't even find the door.

The fourth realm is not the third realm, and the difficulty level is much higher.

“Jing Guohua is also preparing to force a breakthrough,” Xu Yue said. “He said he would come to Taoyuan Village to break through after he finished his work, and asked us to protect him. You can take a look then.”

“He should be more confident in breaking through than I am,” Xu Jianghe said. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked breaking through.”

"That's not necessarily true," Xu Yue said. "He's under a lot of pressure right now. Besides, he's been in the Third Realm Card for too long, and his desire to break through is much stronger than yours."

Xu Yue did not believe that Jing Guohua had a greater chance of making a breakthrough than Xu Jianghe.

Of course, it shouldn't be low either.

If it weren't for the constraints of his duties that prevented him from taking risks, he probably would have forced his way through long ago.

However, this might actually be a good thing.

His impressive accumulation of experience has greatly increased his chances of breaking through.

"Are you done? If you are, there's still a seat here."

Shen Yu's voice rang out.

Their group also arrived.

In fact, their relationship with Xu Jianghe was just so-so.

However, Mu Xiaoyan and Wang Yun have a good relationship.

I've been bringing my child over for visits quite often lately.

"Aren't we going fishing or turtle hunting today?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "Playing cards with you guys is so boring; I could win even with my eyes closed."

"Try closing your eyes," Iron Guard said with a sneer. "You didn't use some kind of supernatural cheating, did you?"

"possible!"

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Yue with a suspicious gaze.

"With your lousy card skills, what supernatural powers would I need to use?" Xu Yue said. "Besides, I don't have those supernatural powers. By the way, where's Wang Haolin? Why didn't he come today?"

"Something came up and I can't make it," Shen Yu said. "I guess you're on a blind date?"

"A blind date?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "It's not another one of my old schoolmates, is it?"

Shen Yu and the others naturally knew who Xu Yue's old schoolmates were.

"If it really is your old classmate, then it shouldn't be considered a blind date, right?"

Hu Hai couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

I've been on two blind dates before, so this would be the third.

Who goes on three blind dates?

"If it's not a blind date, then what is?" Shen Yu asked. "Is it a date?"

"That seems like a good way to put it."

Iron Guard nodded.

The first time is called a blind date, but subsequent dates should be called a rendezvous.

After exchanging a few jokes, the group changed the subject.

They drink tea, play cards, but mostly they chat.

After a lively discussion, everyone dispersed.

After putting the child to sleep, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi were about to do some light exercise when Xiong Yan called.

"Something's happened, your thing was stolen."

As soon as Xu Yue answered the phone, Xiong Yan's voice came through.

Lu Zhenyu bought the object, which was suspected to be a spirit pearl, for Xu Yue for tens of millions of yuan, but he didn't expect it to be snatched away before he could bring it back.

They stole it; that thing is probably real.

Looking at it this way, it's actually a happy thing.

"Is Zhenyu alright?"

Xu Yue asked, not about the items, but about the person.

Xu Yue felt uneasy if Lu Zhenyu were to be harmed as a result.

"He's alright, just a little frightened," Xiong Yan said. "He has the amulet you gave him."

"That's good!" Xu Yue immediately said, "Is he still in Dianzhou?"

"Ok!"

Xiong Yan nodded.

"It's good that everyone is alright," Xu Yue said. "You don't need to worry about that thing. I'll find someone to get it back."

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xu Yue had hung up the phone, Zhang Ruoxi immediately asked...

She only vaguely remembered what he said, and besides, she didn't know anything about Xu Yue asking Lu Zhenyu to take pictures of that thing.

That's when I heard it, and I was completely confused.

“Didn’t Zhenyu go to Yunnan to buy goods?” Xu Yue said. “There happened to be an auction house there, and one of the items looked like a Water Spirit Pearl, so I asked him to bid for it for me. He spent tens of millions, but it was snatched away.”

"Robbed?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Then it's probably true."

Robbed?
She wasn't actually that concerned.

Like Xu Yue, she was focused on whether the bead was genuine or not.

“I’ll give Jing Guohua a call,” Xu Yue said. “This was probably done by someone who practices cultivation.”

As Xu Yue spoke, he made a phone call to Jing Guohua.

After the call was connected, I got straight to the point and stated my purpose.

"You weren't even sure if it was a Water Spirit Pearl, yet you spent tens of millions to buy it?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Guohua couldn't help but say something.

“Boss, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing?” Xu Yue said. “The theft of that bead was most likely done by a cultivator. Shouldn’t this be under the jurisdiction of the Special Administration Bureau? Besides, the theft of something worth tens of millions is a major case, isn’t it?”

"Are you sure they are cultivators?"

Jing Guohua said, "If it is truly a cultivator, then that bead might indeed be a Water Spirit Bead."

“If he’s not a cultivator, is he just an ordinary person?” Xu Yue said. “Otherwise, why would he only steal the bead and not also the jade and gemstones that Lu Zhenyu bought? He originally intended to steal, but Lu Zhenyu caught him in the act. He had bodyguards with him at the time.”

Lu Zhenyu went to purchase goods, mostly jade and gemstones, which were quite valuable, so he naturally had bodyguards with him.

Moreover, that bodyguard was quite skilled.

"Lu Zhenyu's two bodyguards are both retired soldiers, quite skilled, but they were taken down in a single move," Xu Yue continued. "Unless they are cultivators, they probably couldn't have done that, right?"

"I'm not in Dianzhou right now, I'll call Feng Lan."

Jing Guohua didn't hesitate and immediately spoke. Feng Lan is the director of the Dianzhou Special Administration Bureau.

Xu Yue had met this person before; she was one of the few female branch directors in the Special Administration Bureau.

She is considerably older than Niu Lingli from Wanzhou.

"Go to sleep!"

Xu Yue said to Zhang Ruoxi.

After all that commotion, neither of them was in the mood anymore.

The next afternoon, Xiong Yan and Lu Zhenyu arrived, and Xu Yue naturally knew their purpose.

"It's good that everyone's alright," Xu Yue said. "You don't need to worry about that matter anymore, and don't feel guilty. That thing should be recovered soon. It was worth tens of millions, more than its price."

"You can keep this; it will also ensure your safety."

As he spoke, Xu Yue gave Lu Zhenyu two more amulets.

Lu Zhenyu was not injured last night, and even the amulet he was wearing was useless.

The man was there to steal, but when he was caught, he turned to robbing instead of stealing. He never intended to hurt anyone.

Robbery and robbery involving assault are not the same thing.

Of course, the other party may also have some concerns.

"This"

Lu Zhenyu hesitated.

I didn't help them at all, and even caused them to lose tens of millions. How can I have the nerve to take anything from them again?

But he knew what Xu Yue was giving him, yet he still really wanted it.

He has a talisman, but his parents don't.

They want it so much, yet they know it's precious, but they don't know how to ask.

Xu Yue didn't say anything, but he gave Xiong Yan a look.

“Take it if I give it to you,” Xiong Yan said. “Just send a few jade tokens over later.”

Xu Yue smiled and did not refuse.

He doesn't lack those jade pendants, but if it would make the other party feel more at ease accepting it, then he really wouldn't mind taking a few of their jade pendants.

Xiong Yan and the other woman didn't stay long. The main reason they came this time was that Lu Zhenyu had knocked away the bead that Xu Yue had bought, and he was feeling uneasy about it.

I have to come here no matter what.

As for compensation, Lu Zhenyu was cut off by Xu Yue before he could even open his mouth, and then he went along with it.

His family is wealthy, and they can certainly come up with tens of millions, but that's no small sum.

Besides, he's not the one who makes the decisions in his own home.

He was not as wealthy and powerful as Xu Yue, nor did he have a large family business.

In the past, if he had given it to me, he would have just suffered for a few years. But now he has a wife and is about to become a father.

He doesn't mind suffering a little, but he doesn't want his wife and children to cry.

Married men and men with children tend to have somewhat different ideas than single men.

A generous man may become stingy because of his family.

Xu Yue didn't pay any more attention to the bead, even though he thought it was very likely a water spirit bead.

If the Special Administration Bureau can't recover it, his efforts will be in vain.

He never intended to send Lee Joo-ting or any of the others to investigate.

That's not necessary.

The Special Administration Bureau has already taken action; there's no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

That would also make it seem like there's no trust in the Special Administration.

There was no news for several days, and Xu Yue didn't ask.

However, Jing Guohua arrived a few days later.

"good news?"

Xu Yue asked Jing Guohua with a smile.

The item must have been recovered, otherwise Jing Guohua probably wouldn't have gone to the door in person.

Even if he wants to break through in Peach Blossom Village.

He has no shame, having failed to recover the goods?
"good news!"

Jing Guohua nodded, then took a box out of his bag and handed it to Xu Yue.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you really spent tens of millions to buy a Water Spirit Pearl this time, even better than the one in the Divine Court," Jing Guohua said. "The person who tried to steal it from you has also been brought along. Would you like to meet them?"

"Ok?"

Xu Yue's gaze shifted from the bead in the box to Jing Guohua's face, a look of confusion on his face.

"Do you know what that person wanted to do with this?" Jing Guohua smiled, and without waiting for Xu Yue's answer, said directly, "Here you go!"

"For me?" Xu Yue laughed. "What does he want to exchange for me? Does the leader know that person?"

“That man is called Wu You, a second-realm expert,” Jing Guohua said. “His grandfather, Wu Zhenhua, was a veteran of the Korean War and a third-realm expert. However, he is now old and has old injuries. Wu You snatched the bead from you because he wanted some ginseng to replenish Wu Zhenhua’s vital energy, and he also wanted Wu Zhenhua to come and live in Taoyuan Village.”

Why choose to live in Taoyuan Village?
Taoyuan Village is full of spiritual energy, which is very good for patients' recovery and recuperation.

Living here for a long time, while not guaranteeing complete protection from all diseases, will certainly reduce your chances of getting sick compared to other places.

The key point is that Taoyuan Village also has many famous doctors.

There's no shortage of elixirs or anything like that.

"Wu You is also a very filial person?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised, but did not reply.

“Wu You was adopted by Wu Zhenhua,” Jing Guohua said. “Wu You went to university and served in the army.”

"The military doesn't even keep people like this?"

Xu Yue asked doubtfully.

Wu You is not only cultured, but also skilled in martial arts.

Such a person is definitely a valuable asset in the military.

Talented people will be valued no matter where they are.

“During a mission, one of my comrades died at the hands of drug dealers,” Jing Guohua said. “He disobeyed orders and deserted the army, then went and wiped out that group of people by himself. His superior wanted to protect him, but he couldn’t cover it up.”

Disobeying orders is undoubtedly a very serious mistake in the military.

The crucial point is that he even went and killed someone.

Although the person killed was a drug dealer, this is still a very serious matter.

He was simply retired, so he'll definitely have someone protecting him.

“We were thinking of bringing him to the Special Administration Bureau, but Wu Zhenhua got sick, so the matter was put on hold,” Jing Guohua said. “Who would have thought that our next meeting would be like this.”

What is the Special Administration Bureau's opinion on the matter?

Xu Yue asked, and he finally understood why Jing Guohua had said so much.

“The key is you,” Jing Guohua said. “If you pursue the matter, he will inevitably have to stay in jail for a while. If you don’t pursue it, then there is still room for maneuver, after all, the Special Administration Bureau is not a law enforcement agency.”

Since you've already said all that, what else can I pursue?
Xu Yue curled his lip and gave Jing Guohua a disdainful look.

"Are you trying to recruit him into the Special Administration Bureau?"

Xu Yue asked, still harboring resentment towards Wu You, after all, she had taken his things.

But you can't say how much you hate them.

No one was hurt.

After hearing Jing Guohua's words, his previous opinions about Wu You also dissipated.

People who are extremely filial are never too bad.

Moreover, he was a person who had rendered meritorious service to the country.

It was also for someone who had rendered meritorious service to the country.

Xu Yue believes that such people are worthy of respect.

Xu Yue admired him even more for disobeying orders to avenge his comrades.

He not only risked his future for revenge, but also his life.

“Yes!” Jing Guohua did not deny it, but nodded and said, “He is a talented person.”

“The item has been recovered, and you’ve asked again, so I’ll naturally give you face,” Xu Yue said. “Now that he’s joined the Special Administration Bureau, where do you plan to send him?”

"How about Peach Blossom Village?"

Jing Guohua asked with a smile, while Xu Yue showed no surprise.
