In a secret room in the Sky Gardens.
Hai Lan was interrogating people one by one. The first person she asked about was Instructor Xu. After a short conversation, Instructor Xu left, and no one knew where he went.
The second person to enter was Fatso Liu. He didn't seem to be afraid, and before anyone could say anything, he plopped down on the sofa.
Of course, no one cared, this wasn't an interrogation.
Hai Lan asked, "President Liu Shiliang, do you know the fire dragon that appeared in the demonic realm?"
Fatso Liu asked, "What's the demonic realm? Is it the place where we were locked up? "
Hai Lan answered, "That's right. Do you know the fire dragon? "
Fatso Liu scratched his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said with a serious expression, "Of course I know it. It must be a famous hero in Qi City, because he has the ability to transform into a fire dragon. He has always been a chivalrous person, and has always protected the people of Qi City.
As the president of Qi City's Chamber of Commerce, everyone in Qi City knows that I have always been kind and generous. This time, he must have sensed that I was in a desperate situation, and that's why he came all the way here to save me. When we get back, we must mobilize the members of the Chamber of Commerce to collect donations to build a golden body for this hero and build a shrine for him! "
Hai Lan rolled her eyes. 'Do you really think he'd come all the way here to save you with your attitude? It might be possible to collect your corpse from a thousand miles away. '
She leaned back in her chair and waved her hand weakly, "Alright, we know President Liu's character. This incident happened too suddenly, and we are responsible for it, so we will compensate you. However, you should be able to see that the current situation is dangerous. Even the territory of an organization like ours isn't completely safe. When you get back, you should think about the long term. "
Fatso Liu nodded, thinking, 'Of course, I can see it clearly. I almost died a horrible death this time. Why else would I try so hard to get close to that hero? Forget about being dragged down by him in the future, I had nothing to do with him before, and I still have to die cleanly this time. If I can get close to this hero, at least I can ask for help in the future. '
After that, Fatso Liu was escorted out of the interrogation room. A voice came from Hai Lan's earpiece.
"Basically, everything he said was true. However, the part where he said that Vigilante A came to save him was obviously just him feeling good about himself. It can't be true."
'Nonsense, of course I know he's bullsh * tting,' Hai Lan thought to herself. She then ordered someone to bring in the next person.
The next person to come in was President Zhao, who happened to pass by Fatso Liu. The two of them didn't have time to say anything, but Fatso Liu still gave him a reassuring look to reassure him.
Hai Lan asked, "President Zhao Xiangwen, do you recognize the fire dragon that appeared in the demonic realm?"
President Zhao said calmly, "Of course I do. That must be Qi City's Vigilante A."
Hai Lan's interest was piqued as she straightened her back. It was obvious that President Zhao knew more than Fatso Liu.
Hai Lan, "How can you be so sure?"
President Zhao: "I've seen him a few times. The restaurant he frequents, Fang's Delicious Restaurant, is one of our Xingsheng Group's main high-end customers in Qi City. Most of our high-quality ingredients are purchased by them. I often go there with my family to eat, so I've seen him a few times.
The fact that he can transform into a fire dragon is naturally unknown to the ordinary citizens of Qi City. People like us still have the means to buy relevant videos, and since we're in the information age, it's not difficult to find information about this hero. I bought the relevant information from an organization called Hummingbird. I spent two million, and I've mentioned it to some people a few times. "
Hai Lan nodded, he probably wasn't lying. She then asked, "Then do you know why he suddenly appeared in the demonic realm and saved you?"
President Zhao was much more decisive than Fatso Liu. As soon as he heard the question, his expression became serious, and he immediately answered, "Do you even need to ask? It must be because I, Zhao Xiangwen, have always been kind and generous in Qi City. Plus, I often see this hero, so I'm sure we're friends. He's very resourceful, so he must've sensed that I was in a desperate situation, so he came all the way here to save me.
Besides, this lowly servant often instructs my subordinates to provide him with a lot of discounts when it comes to the Fang Clan's Restaurant. That restaurant also gives him a lot of discounts in secret for my sake. Although I've never taken credit for it, I'm afraid that this hero is well aware of it. Of course, the hero's stabilizing of Qi City is just a small token of my appreciation, it's not enough to repay him. "
Hai Lan rolled her eyes again, giving the same answer. 'You and that fatso who just went out are really close friends, your methods of flattering yourself are exactly the same. I finally know how you guys got rich. With your ability to forcefully pull strings, it'd be weird if you didn't get rich.'
"Then are you going to go back and start a donation drive to build a golden statue and a shrine for this hero?" Hai Lan asked casually.
President Zhao was surprised, but he quickly nodded, "You're so smart, no wonder you're able to work in an organization like the Truth Department. However, I'll have to ask the hero first. If he agrees, I'll pay for it myself, and I won't do any donation drives."
Hai Lan said, "Oh, looks like President Zhao is more presentable than that fatso."
President Zhao immediately knew what Fatso Liu was talking about, and he laughed, "Haha, our President Liu Shiliang has always been a thrifty person, no wonder he's not generous enough."
Hai Lan said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you. Please go back and rest, we'll give you an explanation."
The third person to enter was Fang Ning's mechanical puppet. After he entered, he did not sit down immediately, but stood and waited for orders.
"Please sit, President Fang."
Hai Lan extended her hand to invite him, and only then did 'Fang Ning' sit down on the sofa.
Hai Lan said, "Don't be nervous, we're just asking some simple questions."
'Fang Ning' said, "Please go ahead, I'll tell you everything I know."
Hai Lan thought to herself, 'In the end, he's still a nerd. He's not as good as the previous two experienced businessmen. As soon as they walked in, they knew that they were in the right, so they acted as if they were in the right.'
Hai Lan asked, "Do you know the fire dragon that appeared in the demonic space?"
'Fang Ning' frowned and thought for a while before answering with uncertainty, "Could it be Qi City's hero, Vigilante A?"
Hai Lan did not answer, but instead asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
"Fang Ning" replied, "Oh, this is what Uncle Zhao told me when I was chatting with him. He said that the hero is very powerful, and can even transform into a fire dragon. He specifically told me to treat him well in the restaurant, and even if I were to run into debt, he would pay for it. Of course, I wouldn't ask him to pay, and the hero would never make things difficult for small businesses like ours. "
Hai Lan secretly despised him, 'These businessmen really do know how to corrupt people. Even a shut-in like you has learned to be slippery after interacting with President Zhao for a long time.
You make tens of millions a month, and you call that a small business? Poor me, I only make thirty to forty thousand a month. Luckily, I have a few allowances from the Truth Department, so I can live up to my status as the Miss of the Hai Family. '
Of course, she would not say such things. His legal business had nothing to do with her. She could only regret that her ability was not a logistical superpower that could make a lot of money, but a first-line superpower that could fight to the death.
Hai Lan said, "Oh, then do you know why he suddenly appeared in that space?"
Hai Lan thought, 'Don't tell me it's because of you again!'
'Fang Ning' scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's probably because the hero got addicted to my cooking. I haven't seen him eat at another restaurant. I believe he didn't want his personal chef to die, so he wouldn't be able to eat delicious food again. The hero must have sensed that I was in a desperate situation, so he came all the way here to save me. "
Hai Lan could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, 'The three of you really came from the same place, and you even know each other. You all think so highly of yourselves.'
She continued to ask helplessly, "Then are you going to start a donation drive to build a golden statue and a shrine for the hero?"
'Fang Ning' was stunned, but his reaction was different from the other two, "I really didn't think about that. After all, I'm a lazy person. I was just thinking that if the hero were to eat at my place again, I would only charge him cost price. Since you're reminding me, it looks like I'll have to go through some trouble. Money isn't a big deal, but I'll definitely have to attend some kind of ceremony. What a headache. "
Hai Lan was stunned, but she immediately understood. This True Dragon's appetite was too big, so this' small business' did not dare to offer free meals. However, Fang Ning's shut-in personality was not wrong at all; he was extremely tired of attending all kinds of events.
Hai Lan said, "Alright, we'll give you an explanation for this. Now, please go back and have a good rest."
Just as' Fang Ning 'was about to leave, he was stopped again.
"By the way, since you said that your cooking could make that hero travel thousands of miles to save you, we're planning to have a banquet tomorrow to calm everyone down. Why don't we temporarily hire you for a day to cook for us? What do you think? Of course, we'll pay you according to the standard you used to host banquets in Qi City. "
'Fang Ning' nodded, "Since you've put it that way, and I'm a businessman, of course I can do it."
Hai Lan thought to herself, 'I'd like to see how good your culinary skills are. Are you really that good? Not only are you able to enjoy the effects of the Morality Shelter, but you're also able to make this True Dragon come all the way here to save you?'
That's right, she did not believe Old Man Zhao and Fatso Liu's words. However, 'Fang Ning's' personality was simple and honest, so what he said might be the truth.
After all, no one knew what the True Dragon liked, but one thing was for sure: it did not need the modern world's skyscrapers, beautiful villas, luxurious cars, and luxurious clothing. In that case, the only thing it needed from the human world was food.
Even the reason why it was greedy for money was obvious. After all, the things it ate could not be done without money. A single meal cost millions, it must be living a luxurious life.
It was no wonder that it agreed to Zijiang's price of fifty million per meal. It seemed that most of the creatures that descended into this world had to solve the problem of food first. Fortunately, this True Dragon had the same diet as humans, and loved the delicacies of the human world.
Perhaps this was the real reason why it stood on the side of humans? After all, many things that seemed like a big deal were actually caused by an insignificant reason.
