Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 538 - 116: Wise People Should Know What to Keep and What to Discard
Auditing has always been a troublesome affair since ancient times, especially when foreigners record their accounts in their own languages, and without a certified public accountant license, you can’t hope to understand it at all.
Generally, those who can obtain this license are of a weaker constitution and can be eliminated physically.
Wang Yunxiao saw the "goods not meant for daylight" in the basement of the Weimar Business Association. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Dragon Blood Ink is quite popular in the Western mysticism circles. It is said to withstand the wash of magic power, enhancing the effect of drawing talismans, casting spells, and such.
Wang Yunxiao did not understand this kind of thing, and he had not even heard of it before, but from the name alone, one can tell that it should at least have something to do with dragons.
However, the thing sealed in the basement by the Weimar Business Association seemed to have nothing to do with dragons whatsoever.
It was a humanoid creature with six legs and a pair of hands, a tail, and scales, about the size of an adult rhinoceros, bound tightly in a prison by thick iron chains, unable to move, with an IV inserted into its wrists.
"This is a Half-Dragon Person."
Slander whispered, "Half-Dragon People also have dragon blood in them, but in a diluted concentration, with a short shelf life. Usually, we only extract the fresh blood to prepare the ink when we have an order. This kind of Dragon Blood Ink has a shelf life of no more than half a month, and it can’t compare to real Dragon Blood Ink. Of course, it’s also somewhat cheaper."
"National law prohibits the smuggling of humanoid creatures, and we indeed are..."
"You indeed have the gall of the devil, with a gun already at your head and still trying to fool me."
Wang Yunxiao turned back to look at Slander, "Do you think I’m negotiating terms with you? What must I do to rid you of that illusion? Is killing your entire family not enough?"
"There’s no misunderstanding, my lord. I just don’t know what you want," Slander said softly.
"The Weimar Business Association deals with a lot of business every day. Of course, some of them are shady. I would never admit this to someone else, but you have already shown me enough of your sincerity, my lord. Whatever you want to know, I will disclose without holding back, no reservations, but you must tell me what exactly do you want?"
Wang Yunxiao pointed at the Half-Dragon Person beside him and sneered, "You haven’t been telling me the truth about this thing, you think I don’t understand, so there’s no need to tell me. If I don’t ask, you don’t speak, that attitude isn’t good."
He turned to Guozi, "Go throw his youngest son off the roof. If he doesn’t die from the fall, do it again!"
"Please wait!"
Slander immediately changed his tune, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but you didn’t give me the chance to explain in detail. The effects of Dragon Blood Ink can’t be covered in a few words. If you’re interested, let’s sit down, have some tea, and I can tell you all about it."
Wang Yunxiao had no interest in listening to him and looked back at Guozi, "What are you waiting for? Go make a claypot rice for Mr. Slander!"
Guozi turned to leave when Slander, with a flying leap, grabbed his legs and shrieked, "My lord, please calm your anger! Let me speak! I’ll tell you now! Dragon Blood Ink can tamper with contract documents! That’s its greatest use!"
This was the secret he least wished to divulge, for once said, the entire Chamber of Commerce’s credibility would be utterly destroyed. But the current situation clearly left him no room for hesitation. The other party was ruthless and unprincipled; hesitating for even a second risked the ruin of his home and family.
Wang Yunxiao certainly wasn’t going to tell him that he possessed a magical notebook that wasn’t equipped for high-level plays but could wreak havoc in low-level games.
"Detected a Level I Magic Object, counterfeit Dragon Blood Ink — Contracts written with counterfeit Dragon Blood Ink have no magic effect and are highly susceptible to manipulation by magic power, which can easily alter the text written with it. It is a common prop used by demons when signing contracts."
In plain terms, it meant that contracts written with this ink could have their contents changed at any time.
The significance of such a thing to a Chamber of Commerce doesn’t need further explanation, which is why Slander was so evasive and reluctant to reveal the truth.
However, Wang Yunxiao was not looking for this today.
"Bring out all your ledgers, open all the safes, and move out all documents, deeds, contracts, and archives," commanded Wang Yunxiao.
At Wang Yunxiao’s command, Slander did not dare to resist any further and immediately ordered his subordinates to transfer the files.
While the Chamber of Commerce was turned upside down inside, the sound of police sirens also rang out from outside.
The loud explosion from igniting the dynamite pack naturally attracted the street patrol police, and possibly even enthusiastic passersby might have called to report the incident.
Wang Yunxiao had Gangtou guard the door, ordering him not to utter a word to whoever came to inquire. If they dared to draw guns, they were to shoot back.
Having already caused such a commotion today, there was no point in trying to keep a low profile at this stage. Since they were going to offend people anyway, they might as well do it thoroughly.
You can’t have it so that I have to keep the big picture in mind when I lose face, but it’s unbearable for you when you do. That’s not how it works.
The documents that had been moved were all in foreign languages, which Wang Yunxiao couldn’t understand and didn’t need to. With the existence of counterfeit Dragon Blood Ink, whatever was written in the documents was irrelevant.
"How many of these documents were written with your Dragon Blood Ink?"
Wang Yunxiao asked Slander directly.
"I need to check..."
"Just tell me whether there are any."
"I don’t know."
"Come on, drag his son’s head over here and press it onto this stack of papers!"
Wang Yunxiao unscrewed the cap of a bottle of Dragon Blood Ink, sniffed it carefully near his nose, and turned to look at Slander, "I’ll ask you once more, are there any?"
"Yes!"
"How many?"
"All of them!"
"Good, pack them up, load them into the car!"
Seeing how decisively Wang Yunxiao acted, Slander couldn’t help but bitterly smile and say, "Sir, this is coerced confession, even if you take them, they cannot be used as evidence."
"You’re right, it is coerced confession, so what?"
Wang Yunxiao was blindingly forthright, I have no morals, so what?
Slander gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing, it’s just that I feel your method is inefficient, Sir, and might waste your precious time. Since there are no outsiders here, why don’t we skip this procedure and condense it a bit? Just tell me directly who you want to investigate?"
By now, he had mostly grasped the situation—the man had no prior relationship or grudge with him, wasn’t really after the Weimar Business Association. Therefore, to get away, he could only follow the Sir’s lead to see what he truly wanted.
Otherwise, by letting him continue playing this game, his family would certainly not see tomorrow’s sun.
"Mr. Slander, I’ve heard that Shen Zhidong of the Shen Family has close ties with your Chamber of Commerce?"
Wang Yunxiao was blunt.
By this time, he believed that the smart man in front of him knew how to choose.
True to his beliefs, after only a few seconds of hesitation, Slander picked up a stack of documents from the table and presented them to Wang Yunxiao with a smile, "Then, Sir, you should thoroughly review this document."
"I can’t understand foreign languages."
"I’ll translate for you!"
