392: Chapter 272: Earned it 392: Chapter 272: Earned it There’s no need to get angry over uncompleted business.
At least from Lu Ping’an’s perspective, it really wasn’t necessary to be upset over this matter.
Handing over two silver equipment pieces for “trash” would make everyone in the Ancient City’s trade industry question his intelligence.
As for the wealthy Gourmet Association, they didn’t really care…
If the deal could be made, it would be done.
If not, it didn’t matter.
As for Fang Wen threatening them?
That was a different story.
A church being threatened by an individual?
It involved the Church’s dignity, and they’d likely send a strongman to hunt them down.
One who is barefoot fears nothing, but even Fang Wen had to consider if it was worth provoking the subsidiary force of the Gourmet Association for the sake of two pieces of waste.
Usually, rational and normal people would choose to give up…
Right in front of Lu Ping’an, Director Liu picked up a phone call.
After only speaking a few words, he was completely stunned.
On the other end of the phone, someone was screaming hysterically.
“It was stolen, and a lot of stuff was lost.
The logistics team is cleaning up, and it might have been stolen last night after we checked it.
Lu Ping’an showed a perfectly surprised expression, hesitated for a moment, before saying.
“…How about we talk again next time?
Well, there’s not much to talk about now.”
What was the point of discussing when key items had been stolen?
Director Liu opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.
Half an hour later, Lu Ping’an met his people and the desired items in the courtyard.
You need to pay extra!”
Looking at the bag of broken copper and iron, Lu Ping’an nodded in satisfaction.
With this, his “mission” had failed, but since the items were stolen before he could negotiate, it had nothing to do with him.
As for the stolen items being in “Fang Wen’s” hands, the Bureau of Anomaly Management had one less trouble to deal with now.
Actually, you have great potential in this profession.” Lu Ping’an was telling the truth.
The Talent Ability that came from “I want to leave this prison” was powerful in many ways.
Lu Ping’an praised his “little thief” seriously, but the other party shook their head.
“You can’t use this ability just for fun, meow.
But stealing from them isn’t a bad thing.”
Surprisingly, Shuiyun was quite persistent…
In fact, if she had no bottom line, she wouldn’t have starved to the point of eating cat food.
No ordinary family could have stopped her.
The rare and powerful “Spirit Cat” Talent Ability could effortlessly pass through most obstacles.
The most ingenious detail was that in the official records, she was just an ordinary cat shifter.
She actually went there yesterday and had infiltrated the building before the “black letter incident”.
Then, the “news” was passed on.
They would naturally make internal decisions and go to the warehouse to check the “trash” together.
Once the safety was confirmed, they would move it to a higher-security warehouse…
This actually spared Meow from finding it herself.
As for framing “Fang Wen,” it was even simpler…
“Can I use this clothing, meow?”
“To avoid trouble, just destroy it.”
Full-metal armor, Fang Wen’s style…
The iron plates she personally hammered looked like a metal man, but they were useless.
So, during the infiltration process, if they had something like a camera, that would be even better.
A simple plan, advance layout, and a suitable executor.
When luck and intent met, they easily obtained the “trash”…
“Meow, did you take any other stuff?” Thinking about the shocked “lost lots of things” on the phone, Lu Ping’an casually asked.
Stealing is bad!” Meow was instantly annoyed, her tail standing straight up.
Lu Ping’an looked at Meow’s expression and frowned.
In many ways, he didn’t think Meow would lie.
Since Meow wasn’t lying, there was only one possibility…
“…What a greedy bunch.
Don’t glare at me, I didn’t mean you.
I meant those people…”
How to deal with stolen warehouse items?
The Gourmet Association quickly taught Special Service Team Three a lesson.
“…They called the police, saying they not only lost the ‘trash’ but also suffered about 20 million in material loss…”
When they heard this news, the informed people gasped.
These folks really knew how to play games; they had probably been waiting for this day for a long time.
Lu Ping’an casually glanced at the list of lost items and noticed something wrong at first sight…
“A tyrant long-necked elephant rib?
Isn’t that a gigantic beast at least 15 meters long?
Its rib wouldn’t even fit through a normal doorway, right?”
Lu Ping’an continued reading, and as expected of “the warehouse of the Gourmet Association,” the losses were all precious and expensive food ingredients.
However, the thief had quite the strength to carry several tons of stuff.
Fang Wen would probably have to carry this pot.
But the local association members probably wouldn’t really search for it.
They wouldn’t let the special agents make a move, nor apply for strongmen from their superiors to come.
After all, some of them made a fortune from this wave.
But it seemed that Lu Ping’an also made a fortune.
The Special Service Team and the Bureau of Anomaly Management didn’t have to pay anything, and they solved a problem without losing anything.
So, if everyone was winning, who was losing?
“…It seems the only loser is the Gourmet Association as a whole?
Well, it has nothing to do with me, whatever…”
This time, it was Lu Ping’an’s first direct contact with the “Church.” He had to admit that from the process to the outcome, everything was too strange and delicate to be judged.
On the other side, Fang Wen stared blankly at the pile of “trash.”
After a long silence, she sighed and began to clean up.
Originally, she had some ideas in mind, but now the “Despair Hatred” had been dismantled into pieces, and its core parts were crushed as if run over by a press.
It was beyond repair.
Looking at the marks, the damage seemed to have been done for some time.
It seemed that even Tie Zhenmei was worried that the “toys” might suddenly come back to life.
On Tie Zhenmei’s side, there were only the remains of Despair Hatred and about a quarter of silver liquid.
This was obviously memory alloy, the product of the Silver War being melted down.
“Can you give me a part?”
Facing Fang Wen’s request, Lu Ping’an just smiled without responding.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to part with these materials, but even if an unpermitted screw fell into Fang Wen’s hands, it would be incredibly dangerous…
The course of this event further convinced Lu Ping’an of Fang Wen’s “dangerousness” and “deterrence.”
Even if you held something in your hand in the Trading Land, if you did not have permission, it could not be taken away.
With the expected rejection, Fang Wen could only lower her head and continue working.
Looking at the small mountain of metal in front of him, Lu Ping’an felt a surge of excitement.
Adding the materials prepared for trading by the Bureau of Anomaly Management, the most troublesome materials were taken care of.
Let’s go to the Knight’s Secret Realm, grind for materials…
I mean, go for training.
It’s a good opportunity for me to see if you’ve been slacking lately.”
