Chapter 155 Wherever I am, there is your home
Xiao Tao cautiously said, "Master, weapons can only be exchanged with Merit Points."
Mengyu snorted, "Then exchange for a Mid-grade Magical Artifact."
The thought of having sold a Low-grade Magical Artifact for one million last time made her depressed.
She suddenly remembered something, "Last time at the He Family, I helped so many people to dispel Evil Energy, didn’t I earn any Merit Points?"
Xiao Tao sighed, "Master, you have already received a substantial compensation, your interaction was merely an equal trade, without any favor involved, where would the Merit come from?"
So, equal trades come without Merit!
If only I had known, I wouldn’t have taken so many antiques.
But without those antiques, where would she have gotten so many Essence Values, and how could her space have expanded so much?
Thus, everything has its cause and conditions; one should not be overly insistent.
Mengyu nodded. She could still comprehend the reasoning.
She chose a set of delicate Mid-grade Flying Knives, spending one hundred Merit Points. She had one hundred ninety Merit Points remaining.
On the morning of the third day at the station, the train police came looking for Mengyu again.
"There was a phone call from there; those human traffickers are accusing you of inciting others to beat them severely," said the police officer.
Mengyu smiled, "Does he have any evidence?"
She had already anticipated that they would sue her.
After all, the three of them were beaten because of her. Although Mengyu didn’t make a move, they definitely blamed it all on her.
Moreover, the fact that those people had fought Mengyu was indeed due to her intentional provocation.
In her previous life, she had been sold into the mountains by human traffickers and it had ruined her entire life. Her hatred for human traffickers was bone-deep!
Seeing a human trafficker, who wouldn’t want to beat them up?
But she would rather have others do it and not soil her own hands.
Therefore, although the three men’s accusation was against her, it wasn’t entirely misplaced.
However, her actions were concealed, and she never directly stated to beat up the traffickers. Thus, if the traffickers were beaten, she could claim it was due to their odious actions.
"They feel they’ve been seriously injured and are demanding a hospital examination."
Mengyu hummed lightly.
She had once fed them medicine, and without going into detail, they wouldn’t appear to have severe injuries on the surface. Even if they went to the hospital for an examination, because they didn’t look very injured, they would not undergo a thorough check.
In fact, the equipment at that time was not as precise as in later years, and even if they went for a hospital examination, it wouldn’t reveal any serious issues.
"What was the result?" she asked.
The next day, the injuries on the three traffickers had already healed significantly, leaving only some traces.
With such minor injuries, not to mention the police, even they themselves felt it was not a big deal. Going for a hospital examination naturally became out of the question.
Deep down, they knew the effects were from the medicine Mengyu had given them, and even if they wanted to sue, they wouldn’t be able to do so.
In fact, even if the three traffickers’ injuries had been discovered, it was none of Mengyu’s business.
First, Mengyu had not overtly called for them to be beaten;
Second, Mengyu had not laid hands on them personally;
Third, it was Mengyu who stopped the crowd from potentially beating them to death.
Otherwise, they might indeed have been beaten to death without anyone knowing who the culprit was.
With so many people beating them, the law cannot judge the masses—especially when the victims are despised kidnappers. Who could they hold accountable?
But Mengyu knew that in such a situation, she would definitely not be spared the trouble.
To avoid trouble, Mengyu had stopped the violence from continuing and even fed them half a Healing Elixir Pill.
Hence, the traffickers’ attempt to sue Mengyu came to nothing.
