Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

End of Chapter 144

the next day.

When Gu Ling went to the amusement park for her part-time job again, even though she knew that the fake Lin Zhixuan had been arrested, Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost still scanned their surroundings warily, fearing that another suspect might jump out.

When Gu Ling arrived at the haunted house, she overheard some of the staff mentioning Lin Zhixuan.

"Xiao Lin was hospitalized last night because of a severe cold. He seemed fine just a couple of days ago."

"Then let's go to the hospital to see Xiaolin after get off work..."

Upon learning that Lin Zhixuan had woken up, Gu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he's awake, Lin Zhixuan should be alright.

Afterwards, Gu Ling devoted her energy to working part-time at the haunted house.

"..."

For the next few days, Gu Ling enjoyed herself in Liuyun City without encountering any unexpected incidents.

On the evening of the 25th, when Gu Ling came out of the movie theater, she suddenly received a document and a message from Li Rui.

[The fake Lin Zhixuan's identity has been discovered. You're also in the know. Remember to delete this after reading.]

[文件]

When Gu Ling returned to the hotel, she opened the document that Li Rui had sent her. Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy both leaned over to look at it.

This document records the identity information of the fake Lin Zhixuan.

Xu Shiliang, a native of Longxuan Kingdom, is 35 years old this year.

Ten years ago, he joined a notorious gang of thieves. All the members of the gang had a contract with a shapeshifter, which was extremely good at disguise and impersonation, so they were able to get away with it for a long time.

Six months ago, the alliance and the military secretly cooperated to set a trap and successfully arrested the rest of the thieves, but Xu Shiliang was the only one who escaped.

When the incident occurred, Xu Shiliang pushed his long-prepared double out as a shield, while he quietly escaped.

Xu Shiliang had wanted to retire from his criminal activities for a long time, but his original identity was already on the alliance's blacklist. In addition, customs in Longxuan Kingdom were very strict, so he could not escape across the border. Therefore, he came up with the idea of ​​replacing someone else's identity.

After several months of investigation, Xu Shiliang selected Lin Zhixuan, who was similar in height and build to him, came from a small mountain village, and had only his grandmother and younger sister as family members. He was unfamiliar with the big city and its people...

After reviewing Xu Shiliang's information, Gu Ling went online to search for information about this thief gang.

There were many bits and pieces of information, but Gu Ling didn't pay much attention to them until she saw a line of text...

—Xu Shiliang, reward 80000 Dragon Xuan Coins.

"...There's even a bounty?" Gu Ling's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly counted the total number of digits in the bounty.

「1、2、3、4、5……」

"An 8 bounty?!"

For a moment, Gu Ling felt a little tempted.

Should she ask Li Rui... if she could take the reward?

Not too much, maybe ten or twenty thousand should be enough for her?

"But Li Rui... seems a bit unapproachable..." Gu Ling was a little unsure whether the other party would talk to her if she brought it up, since the two of them weren't very familiar with each other.

Besides, now that Xu Shiliang has been arrested, it seems like it's not my place as an ordinary high school student to be thinking about this bounty.

"Forget it, let's just pretend we never saw it..." Gu Ling thought it over and over again, but still reluctantly gave up asking Li Rui for his opinion.

At that moment, another message from Li Rui popped up on WeChat—

[One more thing, Xu Shiliang is a notorious member of the Shapeshifting Phantom Thieves. The Alliance has issued a bounty for him. You captured him this time, so the bounty should rightfully be yours. I have already submitted an application to the Alliance, and the 8 yuan bounty will be deposited into your bank account soon. Please check your account.]

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment, then quickly typed a thank you message:

Thank you, Senior Li!

[Senior Li, you're a good person! May good people have a peaceful and prosperous life!]

[......]

After expressing her gratitude, Gu Ling smiled with satisfaction, but quickly a question popped into her head: "...Huh? How did Li Rui know my bank card number?"

"Never mind, Li Rui said he applied for it for me, so it definitely won't be a mistake."

Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost, overhearing that the Beastmaster's coffers seemed to have grown again, exchanged a glance and excitedly high-fived in celebration.

"Meow~" Yay~

"Hehehe~"

For the mischievous kid who was experiencing winning a reward for catching bad guys for the first time, it was quite a novel experience.

"Hehe~" The mischievous kid exited the game interface, then decisively clicked into the live class and began to study attentively.

Gui Gui needs to study hard~

Capture all the bad guys in the world to earn a bounty!

"What kind of reward do you want?" Gu Ling turned around and asked the two little ones.

The capture of Xu Shiliang was all thanks to Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy. Now that they'll soon have some money coming in, Gu Ling didn't forget to reward the two little guys.

Although... it's best not to encounter suspects or anything like that too frequently.

"Meow~" Xianjiu's cat eyes brightened slightly, and she swiped her little paws on the tablet a few times before showing a picture of a set of pet costumes that she had saved.

Beastmaster~ I want this~

The mischievous kid wasn't in a hurry to watch the live class anymore, and instead took out a picture of the pet costume he had been longing to buy.

"Hehehe~" Guigui wants this~

Gu Lingyi calculated the price of the two outfits, and her lips twitched.

99,000?!

Is this robbery?!

Gu Ling suddenly wanted to take back what she had just said.

However, in the end, Gu Ling couldn't resist the double attack of Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost's coquettish charm and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy, buy, buy..."

Seeing that Gu Ling had agreed, Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy cheered and jumped for joy again.

Gu Ling waited a few seconds before slowly saying, "You two shouldn't be so happy. Hurry up and pack your bags. We're leaving Liuyun City tomorrow morning."

Tomorrow is the 26th, which is also the date Gu Ling booked her train ticket back to her hometown. She will be going back on the 27th, the day before Lunar New Year's Eve.

"If we get back quickly tomorrow, we can have a banquet at the restaurant where my second aunt works."

Xianjiu and the mischievous boy couldn't help but recall when they went back to their hometown during the National Day holiday, they ate the fragrant meals and various exquisite snacks made by their second aunt every day, and they almost couldn't help but drool.

"Meow~" Beastmaster~ I'll help you collect your clothes~

"Hehehe~" Beastmaster~ I'll help you collect the snacks~

Three minutes later, the girl's slightly exasperated voice rang out: "You little rascal! Why are there fewer and fewer snacks being taken away? You've been stealing them, haven't you!"

Before the mischievous boy could even try to explain, the furious Xian Jiu pounced on him!

"Meow~"

You little rascal! Stealing food! Don't you even share with me?!

The mischievous boy covered his bulging mouth and floated around the room, hehehe! The little devil was wrong~

"..."
