Chapter 55… “Xiaojiejie” Ling Xuan

50 million is not a small amount. The most important thing is, is it really just for money that the other party sent these photos?

Holding the photos, Ling Su carefully flipped through them one by one, and had to admit: the photos really didn’t look like they were edited. After seeing them,  he himself couldn’t help but wonder if he was sleepwalking and went out to “hook up” with these people.

”Did you call the police?” Ling Su asked.

”Not yet.” Ling Yan shook his head. The matter is of great importance. Once these photos are released, there will be many people who fish in troubled waters, and the people who are misled by public opinion.

Thinking of Ling Su’s life experience, Grandpa Ling couldn’t help sighing when he remembered what was said by Master Qingfeng. He believed that Ling Su was innocent, because he was a close relative, but outsiders didn’t.

”The other party asks for 50 million, otherwise it will be reported in the newspaper. So don’t worry about it for the time being.” With the strength of the Ling family and Ling Su’s current status, regular media websites will not casually report this non-existent news.

”Grandpa, I don’t think this is an ordinary extortion case. Is there a way for you to contact the staff of the Special Affairs Department of the National Security Bureau?” Ling Su put the photo back on the table. Obviously the other party has the ability to pretend to be him. Whether it is plastic surgery or other special means, it is temporarily unclear, but they probably have no way to solve this matter on their own.

Grandpa Ling was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: “I’m going to make a phone call.”

After Xiao Luo heard this, he also had a vague idea in his mind: the photo was taken by a monster pretending to be his shit-shoveling officer, and came back to blackmail the Ling family.

If Grandpa Ling didn’t trust Ling Su enough, at this moment, even if his shit-shoveling officer jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn’t be able to wash himself clean 1 Jumping into the Yellow river can’t wash it clean: The Yellow River was known for its turbid water, washing in the Yellow River would only make someone dirtier. It means it is hard for someone to get rid of stakeholders or to avoid suspicion. This is frequently used by someone who does nothing bad indeed but is suspected. and could only let the other party frame him.

The more Xiao Luo thought about it, the angrier he became, and decided to seek foreign aid.

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: King! Hammer the ground and cry.jpg

King: Pet the dog’s head.jpg, who bullied you?

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: There are monsters pretending to be my Xiao Su and they took a lot of pornographic photos! Maliciously alienating Xiao Su’s relationship with his family, plotting against the law, I suspect this is a premeditated serial murder!

King: I suspect you haven’t taken your medicine.

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: King, how could you treat me like this!

King: I let you take the cultivation pill, have you taken it?

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: I ate one, but I got fatter! Then I didn’t eat it.

Xiao Luo was quite embarrassed. After taking one cultivation pill, he gained a lot of weight. When he got home, he secretly weighed it, he gained more than half a catty! Then, he didn’t dare to eat indiscriminately. With sufficient balance, he exchanged two amulets for Ling Su and himself respectively.

King: Is that because you slept after consuming? Being carried around every day, or lying in front of the computer to play games, needless to say, I can guess what you are doing every day. It’s no wonder you are becoming fat like a pig.

WTF! Xiao Luo was shocked, the tone of King felt like Master’s.

King: Sooner or later, you will have to return to your own body. At that time, there will be no system, and you will only be able to return to being an ordinary person, unless—

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: Unless I take a lot of cultivation pills?

King: Yes. You are different from those little guys in the harem, you have to remember to make good use of your strengths and give full play to your strengths. Well, I won’t talk to you anymore. You can definitely handle a little monster by yourself, I’m busy here.

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: King, where are you?

King: [Photo] [Photo] Kunlun Mountain, looking for that damn bug.

Xiao Luo was confused, bug? Isn’t it a big monster?

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: King has worked hard, King is mighty and domineering, King is awesome!

King: Kneel down, you lowly subject.

Xiao Luo smiled like a fool. A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Why is King so similar to Master? This taunting tone, even the habit of speaking weirdly when impatient is exactly the same.

Orange Cat-Xiao Luo: Master, send a red envelope!

King didn’t reply.

Xiao Luo thought for a while, maybe he made a mistake, after all, he saw King and Master on the same screen with his own eyes!

Well, he also saw Ling Su’s pornographic photos with his own eyes, but the person in the photos was not his shit-shoveling officer.

So—

it is also possible that Master Qingfeng is not his Master!

Xiao Luo decided to find an opportunity to test it out later.

”They can arrive at night.” Grandpa Ling came back after making the phone call, and at the same time looked at Ling Su with a serious expression, and asked, “Xiao Su, there is something, please tell me honestly: Do you have someone you like?”

When Grandpa Ling saw the first photo, his first reaction was that their Xiao Su finally got the hang of it and was in a relationship. Even though the one in the photo didn’t look like a girl. But when the fake photos were sent in batches, he knew that he might have misunderstood. At the same time, he was vaguely expecting an affirmative answer.

Ling Su hugged the little orange cat, smiled, and said calmly: “Don’t worry, grandpa, when I find him, I will take the initiative to bring him back to see you.” Hearing this, the eldest brother of the Ling family frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Grandpa Ling obviously misunderstood, and nodded with regret on his face: “Xiao Su, you have to work harder. Look at your elder brother, even his son can get soy sauce!” 2 to get soy sauce: (打酱油 / dǎ jiàngyóu.) Originally, In China, for many generations kids have been sent to pick up soy sauce from the local seller or store. To be or have a child old enough to help with this errand was thus used as a rough marker of age. However, the use of this phrase has evolved,“to get soy sauce” has come to mean: “I’m just passing by, minding my own business” or “I have no comment or opinion”.  

The little friend Ling Tianci can not only get soy sauce, but also play League of Legends. Xiao Luo silently added something from the bottom of his heart. Thinking about what King said, he instantly felt that as a man, he should be the one who is in charge of everything! Don’t worry about any monsters coming, just tear it up with your hands!

It’s pretty nice to think about it.

But the problem is that this monster is hiding very deeply now, and it doesn’t show up at all. He can only pray that the people from the Special Affairs Department of the National Security Bureau will be more helpful!

Having said that, will AX come? Xiao Luo couldn’t help but think more about it. In the past two years, he has cooperated with AX many times, but they have never seen each other’s real faces. Even if they did meet, they probably wouldn’t be able to recognize each other, right?

”Grandpa, put these photos away first. We’ll talk about them after the people from the National Security Bureau arrive. My brother and I will check the surveillance outside to see if there are any clues.” The anonymous letter was sent directly to their home mailbox. In theory, there will be more or less traces left.

”Go.” Grandpa Ling nodded slightly. Looking at the little orange cat quietly and obediently sitting in Ling Su’s arms, he couldn’t help reaching out and touching the hair on Xiao Pang’s head, “Xiao Pang grows pretty fast.” 

Xiao Luo pretended that he didn’t understand, he meowed happily, and wept silently in his heart: Everyone can see that he has gained weight! Only he came to know it later! No, he can’t slack off anymore, he must work hard…to lose weight? Oh no, practice!

”Xiao Su, I checked the surveillance before, and I didn’t see anyone suspicious. These two letters seem to have appeared in the mailbox out of thin air.” 

”Simply put, it’s a supernatural event.” Ling Su concluded, “Brother, do you still remember the car accident which asked you to help me investigate?” 

”Yes.” 

”Since then, I knew that this year, I would have some pretty fierce experiences. “

”Everything will be fine.” Ling Yan is not good at comforting people. His eyes fell on the ignorant little orange cat, and he secretly prayed that Xiao Pang would really help Xiao Su to survive smoothly through the year, as Master Qingfeng said.

”It will be fine.” Ling Su whispered, kissing Xiao Pang’s head.

Xiao Luo was agitated, raised his head, stared at the shit shovel officer face to face, and then meowed nonchalantly.

Totally shameless.

They went to check the monitoring results, and as expected, found nothing.

It also verified their guess once again: this is a supernatural case triggered by an unknown force. The enemy is hiding in the dark, quite cunning, and his identity is unpredictable.

”Xiao Su, Ling Xuan is here, do you want to meet him?” Ling Yan answered the phone and asked Ling Su who was playing with the cat. The younger brother who didn’t know how to respect the “elder” directly blocked his words with his hand.

Ling Xuan was always sick when he was a child, he was thin and fair. The fortune teller said that the child’s destiny was to be a girl, but he was born a man. It would be better to raise him as a girl when he was young, so before graduating from elementary school, Ling Xuan had been wearing women’s clothes, and followed Ling Su every day, and kept calling him elder brother.

In fact, Ling Xuan is three years older than Ling Su.

Later, Ling Xuan’s health gradually improved, and he went abroad with the third uncle of Ling Su. They hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years, and he had no contact with him. Ling Su only had such a vague impression in his memory. There is a cousin named Ling Xuan among his brothers and relatives, who likes to wear women’s clothes, and has a personality which is… hard to describe.

After Ling Su went downstairs, Xiao Luo saw the legendary Ling Xuan.

In the living room, apart from Ling’s father, Ling’s mother, sister-in-law Yu Wan, and little nephew Tuantuan, there was only one stranger, who was quite recognizable.

He is in his early 20s, 180 cm tall, with typical wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and has a head of raven-colored wavy hair that is as smooth as satin. He wears beige slacks and a white T-shirt, and a pair of pink slippers on his feet. At first glance, it feels quite homely.

With his back to them, he was talking on the phone, and his voice was quite recognizable. Xiao Luo racked his brains to come up with only one word to describe it: enchanting.

A completely different style from his shit-shoveling officer.

”In the short term, I plan to stay in China. Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t mess around. Well, you should also pay attention to your health. Okay, goodbye.” After Ling Xuan made the phone call, he turned around and looked at Ling Su, with a smile on his lips: “Xiao Su, long time no see.”

”Long time no see.” In comparison, Ling Su’s attitude was a little cold.

”This cat is so cute, can you give me a hug?” Ling Xuan stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket, stepped on his slippers, and quickly walked up to Ling Su. Before anyone could answer, he reached out to hug the little orange cat.

Xiao Luo subconsciously shuddered: This big brother is acting so familiar.

”No.” Ling Su turned around without giving any face, and successfully stopped the opponent’s “salty pig hand” 3 salty pig hand: Originating from Cantonese, this term describes acts of sexual harassment, like subway groping .

”Hi, hello, I heard that your name is Xiao Pang. I’m Ling Xuan. It’s the first time we met. Please give me your advice.” Ling Xuan was not discouraged at all when he was stopped, and continued to greet the little orange cat.

Xiao Luo stared at him curiously, sized him up for a moment, found nothing amiss, then meowed lightly.

”Xiao Pang, let brother hug you, okay?”

”No.” Ling Su glanced at him in disgust, preferring to let Xiao Pang play with Tuan Tuan than let Ling Xuan to touch him.

”Xiao Pang! I’ve watched your live broadcast, you’re amazing! Let’s play Fruit Lianliankan together?” Tuantuan was originally playing word games next to his mother, but when he saw the little orange cat, he immediately ran over.

For his only little nephew, Ling Su was quite polite. Instead of chasing him away directly, he asked Xiao Luo instead: “Go play with Tuantuan for a while?” He is repulsive to Ling Xuan, but it is still possible to play with the little nephew. Ling Tianci is soft and sensible, very cute.

”Ling Xiaosu, you’re going too far!” Ling Xuan crossed his arms with protests written all over his face.

Ling Su said lightly: “Your hands are poisonous. None of the pets and plants that my brother raised when he was a child can survive after being touched by you.” The other party was completely speechless.

Originally, Xiao Luo was multi-tasking, playing with Tuantuan and eavesdropping with his ears pricked up. When he heard Ling Su’s words, he suddenly had an epiphany: From this point of view, “Xiaojiejie” 4 Xiaojiejie (小姐姐) little elder sister : A cute term of address for a young woman. Ling Xuan’s hands are really poisonous!

Although Ling Su disliked Ling Xuan and refused to let Ling Xuan touch his Xiao Pang, after the two of them sat down, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

”When do you plan to go back?”

”Not going back for now, I came back to China to develop. Ling Xiaosu, you don’t have to be so surprised.” 

”Third Uncle is abroad alone…”

”My dad recently got a new little girlfriend. She’s pretty nice, don’t worry about him.” 

”…”

”Ling Xiaosu, don’t worry, although I always liked to steal your things when I was young, but now that we have grown up, I will not do such immoral things again.” 

“Tell me, what do you want to do?” 

”In fact, a few days ago, my dad found a fortune teller for me. He said that my destined person appeared in Z City, um, and then I came back. Surprised?” 

”I sympathise with your predestined person.”

Xiao Luo eavesdropped for a long time, and decided to cross out the word harmony.
