If it was like Sister Ellie, it would be fine, there was no malice and she was just teasing "herself". But if it was the kind with a purpose, the temptations in both overt and covert ways really made Padu feel very annoyed.
"..."
After Paduo changed the subject, Wen Yue did not continue to ask questions without being tactful. Instead, she changed the subject and asked about the misunderstanding she had just discovered:
"If Miss Padovalisi came here to buy goods for fame and to add a 'potential' employer, then is that also the reason why you did what you did in the slums?"
"Things about the slums? Do you mean helping those people, or things about the candy store?" Seeing that Wen Yue did not continue to ask, Pado breathed a sigh of relief, then gently touched his chin and said.
"Can you tell me about both?"
Hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Wen Yue's eyes.
In fact, she was originally only asking about the former mentioned by Paddo, but she was also quite interested in the latter.
It turns out that after Ben Yue learned about the "purpose" of Padu's actions, she subconsciously classified the theft incident of [Rat King] Lin Gerui as the same as her own, just to show her face and have another "potential customer".
But when she thought about the previous investigation, she found something wrong... Who would win over "potential customers" like that? Lin Gerui was so angry that he searched the whole slum for someone.
"Ah, if you want to know, I can tell you. I helped those people in the slums because I wanted to do something to the best of my ability."
"As for the candy store..."
ps: It’s time for the update of the underworld again. There is only a little bit left and this event will be over.
Chapter 54: Leaving and Eden's Recent Situation
"Ah, if you want to know, I can tell you. I helped those people in the slums because I wanted to do something to the best of my ability."
"As for the candy store..."
Having said this, Padu paused for a moment, took out a handful of candies from his pocket and placed them on the coffee table, then looked at Wen Yue and continued: "Look, aren't these candies shiny and sparkling? Do you want to collect them?"
"..."
Looking at the candies wrapped in beautiful wrappers on the coffee table, Wen Yue fell into a brief silence... That's it?
You went to so much trouble to rob someone's candy store, making people look for you everywhere, just for candy?
To be honest, Wen Yue felt that if Lin Gerui knew the real reason why his candy store was robbed, his face would be very interesting.
"I remember Miss Padufils left money when she took the candies. In that case, why didn't you just buy them?"
Remembering the details of the report made by [Rat King] Lin Gerui, Wen Yue asked curiously.
"Of course it's because it's troublesome to buy so many candies. If I have to pay for them in detail, it will be troublesome and it will also attract attention."
After answering as a matter of course, Padu did not forget to pick up a candy, peel it and put it in her mouth.
After hearing Padu's answer, Wen Yue took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "If this is the reason, there is really no problem. However, in the entire Longmen, only Miss Padu Felice would do this."
There was no sarcasm in Wen Yue's words. Instead, she was praising Padua's abilities in an alternative way.
After all, in this huge dragon gate, there are really not many people like her who can perfectly avoid the search of the [Rat King] Lin Gerui, and help others right under people's noses.
"Oh, don't make me sound so bold and powerful, I'm so weak!" After understanding the hidden meaning in Wen Yue's words, Paduo couldn't help but wagged his tail and started to refute.
She didn't want the politician in front of her to think she was great.
What if high demands “pressure” you to do dangerous and troublesome things?
What's more, Maomao thought that she was not that powerful. During this period of time, she had almost been exposed several times, but she was able to survive only because of Xiaoshi's [Inability to Know the Current Situation] help.
If she had been a weak "person" from the beginning, she would have been remembered by so many spies and arresting people, or even "caught" by now.
"Ha~"
After hearing Padu's rebuttal, Wen Yue couldn't help but chuckle, but she didn't say anything more on this topic.
……
Just as the two chatted for a while, Bai Xue, who was standing quietly not far away, seemed to have received some news. She looked at Wen Yue and nodded gently to her.
Padu, who had noticed the two people's little movements, couldn't help but blink her gradient eyes, then said with a smile: "It seems that Madam Wenyue has confirmed it, so can we go now?"
"Of course, if you're still worried, we can accept it!"
Others may not know what the silent communication between the master and servant just now means, but Mao Mao understands it. It is nothing more than that the others have privately confirmed that they did not take away any extra things, and then reported to Wen Yue through Bai Xue.
"Oh~ Of course, Miss Padofils, it's your freedom. But please keep in touch with us, because maybe there will be big business." Hearing this, Wen Yue chuckled, and then spoke in a soft but meaningful tone.
If the follow-up investigation confirms that there is nothing wrong with Paduo, Wen Yue would not mind training and using this "special talent". If there is any problem, that's another matter...
But no matter which situation it is, it is easier to get things done if you have connections.
"Well, don't worry. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't lose contact suddenly." Having said that, Padu stood up and stretched himself, then said slowly:
"That's it for this time. Sorry for bothering you."
After saying that, Maomao waved at Wen Yue and ran out without looking back, not giving anyone the chance to stop him.
At the moment when Paduo quickly left the villa area, Xiaoshi, who was far away in the hotel, used his ability to influence the personnel in the monitoring room with illusions, asking them to erase all traces of the cat in the surveillance.
……
Inside the villa——
"Master, are you just going to let her go like that?" After receiving the news that Padu had completely left, Bai Xue, who was standing quietly aside, couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter. Apart from a Longmen coin, she didn't cause us to lose anything, right? Instead, she made us aware of our own problems." Having said this, Wen Yue paused for a moment, put down the teacup in her hand that had already cooled down a little, and then continued slowly:
"Okay, there's nothing more to say about this matter. I'll have someone check and investigate it later. As for now... why don't you go and help me prepare first, Bai Xue."
After saying this, Wen Yue's meaningful gaze fell on the pile of scattered items on the coffee table.
"Yes."
After instantly understanding what her master meant, Bai Xue nodded slightly and went to help with the so-called "preparations".
……
In a certain office——
"Aqiu——"
Wei Yanwu suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason and couldn't help but frowning.
What happened today? From a certain point in the afternoon, he began to feel uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen...
But after thinking it over, Wei Yanwu didn't find any major events or crises, so he had to suppress the feelings in his heart silently again.
----------------
Before leaving the villa, Pado originally wanted to take this opportunity to go to Eden to make his presence felt, but after sensing that the other side was busy, he had no choice but to give up this plan temporarily and go to meet up with his younger brothers.
In recent days, except for a few times when Eden stayed in the hotel, most of his time was spent learning about the history of this city and this world.
Although Miss Eden did not care too much about material things like money, she had to admit that money could indeed accomplish many things.
So, for convenience or for other reasons, she planned to develop her economy in this world. As for whether she would continue to sing in the future, who could be sure?
ps: The writing is very far-fetched, but I finally finished writing about this story. Wow, little Lolita, my little Lolita, I am going to write about little Lolita.
Chapter 55: The Value of Wei Laoer's Private Money
On a street in the slums——
"Can, is there anywhere else you want to go?"
An Suo gently touched the fat cat in his arms and asked in a low voice.
"Meow~"
In response to Ansuo's question, Can just let out a soft cry and shook his furry head.
Although, Cantou actually wanted to go to many places, but she had asked Anso to buy her a lot of food before. If she continued to buy more, Padu would find out at night and she would definitely be scolded, or even have her cat cans reduced by half or something like that...
So after a little consideration, a fat cat temporarily gave up and let the "little brother" continue to vote.
Hey.
"In that case, let's go back. It's getting late now, but I don't know when Miss Phyllis will come back..." After noticing Cantou's little movement, An Suo first nodded, then looked up at the sky and said in a low voice.
"Meow~"
Then, just as An Suo turned around and left with the can, intending to return to her place, a figure appeared silently behind her, and then a snow-white hand suddenly clapped.
"what!"
Even though he only felt a light tap on his shoulder, An Suo still got furious instantly, then he quickly distanced himself and turned his head to look behind him vigilantly.
"..."
However, when An Suo saw clearly who was photographing her, her tense nerves slowly relaxed. She then looked at the person with resentment and complained: "Ms. Phyllis, do you know that scaring others can kill them..."
"Oh, we want to give you a surprise. Have you had dinner tonight? If not, let's go together." Facing Ansuo's resentful eyes, Pado blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes innocently and changed the subject.
"..."
Looking at the cheap "boss" who scared him but looked innocent, An Suo couldn't help but twitch his lips. After a moment of silence, he said in a "vicious" tone as if in revenge: "Let's go! I want to eat well tonight!"
Although Miss Purple Rabbit wasn't very hungry because of the snack she had eaten before, it didn't matter whether she was hungry or not now...
"Hey, no problem. Just lead the way and see what you want to eat. We'll follow you, Ansuo, tonight." Looking at Ansuo's cute expression, Pado smiled brightly and said.
"you……"
Hearing his "angry" joke being accepted by the person in front of him, An Suo was stunned at first, then turned his head slightly and said in a somewhat unnatural tone: "You said it, let's go... I'll eat you out of money today."
After saying that, Miss Purple Rabbit didn't look at Pado's reaction, but turned around and walked away holding the can in her arms. Her back looked like she was running away.
"..."
Watching Anso's quickly departing back, Pado spread her hands helplessly, then quickened her pace and followed happily.
……
"...Ms. Phyllis, you came back so late today. Did you run into any big trouble?" On the way to dinner, Anso seemed to suddenly remember something and hesitated for a moment before asking Padu in a low voice.
Padu, who had noticed Anso's expression and was waiting for her to ask, touched her chin and replied, "No, it's not a big trouble. On the contrary, we have gained a lot today."
After saying that, Maomao proudly took out a shiny...Longmen coin from his pocket!
"...?"
When Anso saw clearly what Paduo took out from his arms, a question mark slowly emerged in his head.
It’s not that Miss Purple Rabbit looks down on the money, nor does she think it’s too little. After all, this amount of money was enough for her to survive for a week or two before... It’s mainly because the contrast is too great.
Think about how generous our cheap “boss” was in the past and how he didn’t care about money, and then look at him now… even taking out a piece of money is so “solemn”?
To be honest, Anso was beginning to wonder if Padu had fallen on hard times. Or maybe he should just eat something casual tonight...?
"Hehe, Ansuo, you don't understand the value of this money..." After noticing Ansuo's little expression, Paduo snorted twice and was about to start talking to her.
However, before Maomao could say anything, a shop on the side of the road caught her attention, causing her to change the subject and say, "Ice cream, what flavor do you want, Anso? Let's go buy some."
"?"
Afterwards, before Anso could catch up with Paduo's unconventional thoughts, she took his hand and walked towards a roadside shop.
But in a moment, there was an ice cream in the hands of Miss Purple Rabbit, in the small bowl held by Can, and in Pado's hand...
At the same time, the money that Maomao just wanted to explain its origin disappeared in her hands.
"..."
Ansuo, who was eating ice cream silently and had not yet recovered from his daze, was feeling the rich taste he had never tasted before. Looking at the man and the cat who were eating happily beside him, he murmured softly: "Is this the value of the money?"
"Ok?"
Hearing the subtle sound from Ansuo's mouth, Padu turned his head to look at her in confusion, then reacted and said with a smile: "Hey, Ansuo, are you still thinking about what happened just now?"
"In fact, the reason why I said this piece of money was valuable before was because I bought it from a "big shot" today."
"If that's the case, then why..."
Hearing this, An Suo was startled. He first glanced at the ice cream in his hand, and then looked at Paduo with a puzzled look.
After listening to her cheap boss's words, Miss Purple Rabbit probably understood the reason why he was so "serious" before, but it was precisely because of this that she became even more confused.
Since the added value of that piece of money just now is so great, why did Pado spend it so straightforwardly...?
"Well, of course it's because it's not valuable, or not that big. After all, I don't plan to keep it as a collection." Having said that, Padu licked the melting ice cream in her hand, and then continued:
"In that case, use it to buy food and friends
Wouldn’t it be more valuable if we could share it with friends?”
