Chapter 82 Searching for Relatives (IV)
He didn’t know if it was Lu Ren’s illusion, but he always felt that when Si Yuan spoke, there was a hint of malicious kindness in his eyes when he looked at A Bing.
"The Nine Netherworld will probably be severely skinned, right?" Lu Ren thought.
Lu Ren had heard that the amount of money lost by the Immigrant Household Investigation Bureau was as much as his annual salary of 100,000 yuan. After all, such a large amount of money loss directly led to huge changes in the daily lives of employees. The direct impact was that it was said that the food in the cafeteria was not as good as before.
Junfang complained with a gloomy face all day long: "They are so cruel! They actually started feeding a zombie vegetarian food! This is simply an insult!"
This made Lu Ren feel a little guilty. Even though everyone told him that this matter had nothing to do with him, Lu Ren still wanted to do his best to help these colleagues who helped him all day long.
At the very least, we should avoid such a horrific tragedy as “making zombies vegetarians”.
So Lu Ren decisively agreed to Si Yuan's request: "Okay, I will do my best. May I ask what I should do specifically?"
After receiving the affirmative reply, Si Yuan nodded: "No need to do anything, just wait. Since you agree, I will write a letter to the Jiuyou Realm to discuss this matter. I will notify you when I need you to appear."
Lu Ren nodded: "Okay."
Lu Ren was very happy to be able to help a little.
However, this day was not all happy. Sadly, Lu Ren was unable to get the tentacle back for A Bing.
Because Si Yuan said that since they were going to negotiate with the Jiuyou Realm, both A Bing and the tentacles would be detained as criminal suspects. However, since Lu Ren believed that A Bing was not very dangerous, he could temporarily take A Bing, who was living in the teddy bear, back. However, in order to prevent A Bing from escaping, the tentacles would first be handed over to the Investigation Bureau for safekeeping.
Lu Ren: I don’t know why, but I feel this hostage-taking operation is somehow familiar.
The world is generally black.
In order not to be a stowaway, Lu Ren took Ah Bing and Shan Gui, who had been an illegal immigrant for many years, to get the Human World ID cards issued by the Investigation Bureau. The person in charge of helping the couple with their ID cards was Miss Fox. She was very quick in issuing the ID cards, and not only did she process the ID cards for the two, she also thoughtfully opened a bank account for them at the "Tianlu Bank".
"If you have anything valuable on you , you can deposit it at Tianlu Bank. It's convenient and safe, and you can get higher interest rates."
Lu Ren took the certificate handed over by the little fox girl and said with a smile: "Thank you, but they probably don't have it."
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw the mountain ghost with a thoughtful look on his face: "Hmm... there is a jade vein on the mountain, can this be preserved?"
"Of course you can. You can deposit anything in Tianlu Bank. The director even deposited a dragon vein from Kunlun a few years ago. I heard that the annual interest rate is very impressive. Congratulations."
Upon hearing this, the mountain ghost expressed his understanding and nodded in thanks.
Ah Bing said: "I sold a lot of things in the ghost market before, so I should be able to save the money I earned."
The little fox girl smiled and agreed: "That's natural."
At that moment, Lu Ren was stunned: I thought we were all poor, but I didn’t expect that the clown was me.
After Lu Ren finished his business, he remembered to ask the mountain ghost how long she could stay in the city. He wanted to treat her well.
The mountain ghost said, "Maybe next spring."
It is now late autumn and will soon enter midwinter. During this period, everything in the mountains is withered and the mountain god can do little. When the next year comes, the mountains will need the mountain god the most. The spring breeze brings vitality, and the mountain god will use the east wind to help sprout new buds and wake up the dormant winter insects. They will reproduce and pollinate, allowing the mountains to continue to thrive.
It's strange that the life of such a huge mountain is controlled by the most inconspicuous insects.
Lu Ren was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "That's great, there's still a lot of time. I can just show you around."
The address of Tianlu Bank is in the city center, so Lu Ren planned to take Shan Gui to the bank to deposit his jade veins on the weekend, and go shopping in the city center and buy some things for girls along the way.
Of course, I couldn’t ride Lu Ren’s electric scooter to the city center, because I would be caught by the traffic police if I was seriously overloaded. I could only take the bus.
However, the reality for workers is that even though they have already started planning their weekend vacation, they are still at their workstations and need to work.
Because Lu Ren still had to work that day, and Shan Gui and A Bing could not go home on their own, Lu Ren deposited them and the Qilin cub in the office of the Logistics Department and entrusted them to the Fairy of Flowers.
The Fairy of Flowers was very friendly towards the mountain ghost's arrival. She even took out her treasured cloud tea to entertain the mountain ghost. Then she considerately opened the video website on the mountain ghost's computer and clicked on the melodramatic drama that she had collected for many years and started playing it.
So the two goddesses watched idol dramas in the office for the whole morning and used pack after pack of tissues to wipe their tears.
The Qilin cub took A Bing to play in the backyard of the Investigation Bureau. The backyard was very spacious, just right for energetic children. It was said that Junfang had recently built a swing on the old tree in front of his coffin, specifically for the Qilin cub to play on.
Finally, Yu Shi, who was in the same office, couldn't help it anymore: "You guys are too blatant! I'm still here as a department leader!"
Baihua sobbed, looked at Yushi, and said, "But, it was Aren who asked me to take good care of his sister."
"I asked you to take good care of her, not to slack off at work!" Yu Shi said unhappily, "Go, go to the Finance Department on the fifth floor. The plan for this year's annual meeting needs to be finalized as soon as possible. Ask the Finance Department when they are free so we can have a meeting together."
Baihua muttered, "You only know how to order me around to run errands," and just as she was about to get up, she saw the mountain ghost stood up before her.
"It's better to let me do the errands."
Baihua and Yushi refused in unison: "How can this be possible? You are a guest, how can we ask you to run errands? And the guy in the finance department has a bad temper..."
The mountain ghost said sincerely: "I want to do something within my ability to express my gratitude. If I can't complete it, I won't try to be brave. Can you let me try?"
The mountain ghost was sincere, and it would be unkind to refuse him. So, the rain master quickly wrote a short letter and gave it to the mountain ghost.
He said very embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry to bother you. In fact, it doesn't need to be so complicated, but the person in the Finance Department has a weird temper. After all these years, he still doesn't want to use a mobile phone, so we need to notify him in person. Also, the Finance Department has a bad temper. If he gets angry, you must run away at the first time!"
The mountain ghost took the letter, remembered the words of the Rain Master one by one, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I'll go then."
The door on the fifth floor has been in a black hole state since it was blown up by the Dragon Girl, and the edge of the hole is charred. The repair work of the door has been temporarily shelved due to tight funding, so even now, the door still looks like it has been bombed.
Fortunately, the bricks and rubble that were blown down at the time have been cleaned up by Lu Ren, so it looks quite tidy. You can barely tell visitors that this is the decoration style, um, wasteland style.
Following Baihua's instructions, the mountain ghost entered the dark hole on the fifth floor. Then, his eyes were blinded by the sudden light, and when he opened them again, the mountain ghost had already arrived at the Kunlun Mountain in ancient legends.
At this moment, Kunlun seemed to sense that an outsider had come, and immediately sent out the mountain guardian beast. A burly man with tattoos all over his body fell from the sky and landed in front of the mountain ghost. The heavy weight of the burly man smashed a huge pit on the snow in front of the mountain ghost, and snowflakes flew everywhere.
The sturdy man drew out his long sword, pointed the tip of the sword at the mountain ghost, and said in a deep voice: "I am Lu Wu, the guardian beast of Kunlun Mountain. Who are you?"
The mountain ghost responded politely, "Hello, I am Lu Ren's sister. I am here to pass a message to the Finance Department from the Logistics Department. This is the handwriting of Rain Master." As he spoke, the mountain ghost handed the note that Rain Master had just written to Lu Wu.
Lu Wu took a quick glance and saw that it was indeed Master Yu's handwriting: "Strange, why would Master Yu send an outsider to deliver a letter to the Finance Department?"
The mountain ghost smiled and said, "I insisted on helping."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu put away his sword and pointed to the palace complex behind him, saying, "Go, the third palace is the Finance Department."
Shan Gui thanked her and was about to leave, but Lu Wu stopped her and said, "If anything goes wrong, you must run away immediately, understand?"
Of course the mountain ghost gladly accepted other people's well-intentioned advice. She thanked them and walked towards the third palace.
These palaces were once the residences of ancient gods, and were built with huge stones. It is said that these stones are from the same vein as the sacred stones used by Nuwa to repair the sky, and are extremely strong. The design of the palaces is relatively simple, not complicated, and the colors are not rich enough. But the palaces are in this snowy area, covered with white snow, and look extremely holy.
The mountain ghost walked and admired the snow scenery of Kunlun, and soon stood at the door of the third palace. The two doors of this palace were made of two complete huge stones, and there seemed to be intricate relief carvings on them with a chisel, which looked majestic and solemn. At this moment, the door was closed, as if refusing outsiders to enter.
It was impossible to knock on such a big stone door and make any sound. Just as the mountain ghost was about to call for the door, he heard a deep male voice in front of the door: "Who is coming?"
"Hmm?" The mountain ghost lowered his head and thought for a moment, "This voice seems a little familiar?"
But Shan Gui couldn't remember it at once, so she could only reply loudly: "I am Lu Ren's sister, Shan Gui, and I am here to help Yu Shi deliver the letter."
Then the mountain ghost heard the originally majestic voice suddenly become stuttering: "Shan... Shan, mountain ghost?"
Then, there was a sound of something falling from the palace, followed by hurried footsteps. A moment later, two doors made of huge stones were suddenly opened, and a man with short red hair rushed out. He was tall and had deep and three-dimensional facial features. In such cold weather, he was only wearing a vest and a pair of jeans. He looked very tough.
But even this handsome man who exuded a hint of arrogance in his every move, his cheeks instantly flushed when he saw Shan Gui. He looked away, pretended to cough, and said, "Ahem... Shan Gui's name... sounds familiar. Have we seen it somewhere before?"
Some useless tricks to play it safe.
However, Shan Gui recognized the man with red hair the first time she saw him. She smiled and said hello, "Isn't this Taiyi? Long time no see!"
Donghuang Taiyi is a god who has been sitting high in the position of North Star since the time of Hongmeng.
Shan Gui 's bright smile, which had not been seen for a long time, instantly overwhelmed Taiyi. His whole face suddenly turned red, like a ripe tomato.
"I……"
After finishing a day's work and getting off work, Lu Ren returned to the logistics office to look for Shan Gui. However, he saw that in addition to Yu Shi, Baihua and Shan Gui, there was also a red-haired man standing in the office whom he had never seen before.
The mountain ghost who was talking to the man inadvertently glanced to the side and saw Lu Ren coming back. He greeted him, "Aren, you're back."
Lu Ren smiled and nodded, but before he stepped into the door, he saw a red figure rushing towards him, and then he felt a huge force dragging him out of the door.
The door of the logistics office slammed shut, blocking out all sound from inside.
The man, who looked very serious, stopped Lu Ren in the corridor and stared at him fiercely like a killer. Just when Lu Ren thought he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, the man who looked very difficult to offend extended a hand to Lu Ren in a friendly manner and said to him seriously, "Hello, Ren, my name is Donghuang Taiyi, and I am the man who will become your brother-in-law."
Lu Ren: “???”
