Chapter 53: Leave Professional Matters to the Professionals

Tan Yanlu opened the cloth bag again and handed it to the two leaders: “Of course, I have no worries entrusting this to you. Just make sure to bring the money back to me.”

Both leaders nodded in assurance: “That’s only natural. We’ll have the purchasing station issue you a receipt with all the details clearly written out.”

Thus, Tan Yanlu’s ginseng was taken away as a tool, and the three of them only needed to wait at the police station for the results.

Jiang Pan Yu was undoubtedly the happiest. This way, Tan Yanlu not only sold the ginseng but also ensured her personal safety without having any contact with Gao Shaolin, effectively diverting the plot. How wonderful.

So, professional matters should indeed be left to professionals. Gao Shaolin shouldn’t think about playing the hero this time, as he didn’t even get the chance to be one.

They waited from dawn till dusk, and finally, the personnel sent out by the police station made a move. They brought back three robbers armed with knives and a staff member from the purchasing station, revealing this to be a gang operation.

Jiang Pan Yu and the others didn’t know the details of the arrest process, as this was considered a major case.

Chen Jingguan vaguely mentioned that this gang was very skilled in their methods, indicating it wasn’t their first time committing such crimes. They would continue to investigate further, but until everything was clear, no details could be disclosed. Naturally, Jiang Pan Yu and the others had no right to know.

Tan Yanlu also received the money from selling the ginseng, totaling over 180 yuan, which was more than 30 yuan compared to the original plot.

Jiang Pan Yu speculated that this might be the difference between locals and outsiders. The purchasing station also tailored their approach based on the person.

After all, purchased items are graded. Sometimes, they deliberately rate your items low, only to upgrade them after you leave. The price difference between two grades is then internally absorbed.

Such practices have been common since ancient times, hence the saying, “It’s easier to get things done with acquaintances!”

With Tan Yanlu having received the money, the three of them prepared to head back. However, it had started snowing lightly again, making the ground slippery, and it was already pitch dark.

Jiang Pan Yu and Tan Yanlu had bought quite a lot today, and there was no way to carry everything back in the dark.

The two had no choice but to entrust the tables and chairs to Officer Chen, leaving them temporarily at the police station, and then set off lightly for home.

Jiang Pan Yu hadn’t heard the task completion prompt, so she asked the Gossip System: “Gua Gua, what is Gao Shaolin doing now?”

“Host, Gao Shaolin is almost freezing into a fool at the entrance of the purchasing station,” the Gossip System replied with a hint of schadenfreude, even broadcasting a live feed of Gao Shaolin’s pitiful state in Jiang Pan Yu’s mind.

It was already past six, nearing seven in the evening. The purchasing station and the food station had long been closed, and the long queue at the entrance had dispersed.

In the vast open space, only Gao Shaolin was riding his bicycle around, shivering from the cold yet constantly looking around as if searching for something.

Jiang Pan Yu was puzzled. Could it be that Gao Shaolin was also affected by mental suggestion, refusing to go home without obtaining Tan Yanlu’s Golden Finger?

The Gossip System immediately provided an explanation: “Of course not. Gao Shaolin’s previous life as a Weasel Spirit schemed so much just to seize the Little Koi’s luck. Therefore, Tan Yanlu might be influenced by mental suggestions, but Gao Shaolin definitely won’t be.

His current abnormal state is actually the result of his failed schemes, because today’s event has been completely altered by the intervention of national forces.

Without obtaining Tan Yanlu’s Golden Finger, Gao Shaolin has lost his smooth sailing in this world, and his later life will definitely not be as prosperous as depicted in the event memories.

Although Gao Shaolin doesn’t know the truth now, his sixth sense will alert him, causing him to experience various negative emotions like anxiety and irritability.”
