75: Where is my Yongle Encyclopedia?
The Frauer Family was completely dumbfounded when they saw the Police Chief opening the car door for Qin Yun.
What on earth was going on?
How could the Police Chief, who ruled the town with an iron fist, be so subservient to Qin Yun?
They finally remembered the phone call Qin Yun made before being taken away; it must have been that call that worked.
It seemed Qin Yun was an even more powerful figure than they had imagined!
Not only was his personal strength extraordinary, being able to drive off Golden Tooth's gang of armed thugs alone,
but he also had a very strong background that could even influence a small town in Atosilia.
"Rest assured, we will show no leniency toward Golden Tooth's criminal gang. I absolutely will not allow anyone to endanger the safety of the residents under my jurisdiction. If you need anything, you can call me directly."
While The Frauer Family was still in a daze, the Police Chief walked over quickly and gave his friendly assurance.
Frauer was stunned. He awkwardly accepted the business card handed over by the Police Chief, not knowing what to do.
Their family were insignificant beings; they had never experienced a moment like this.
A big shot in town was actually speaking to him as an equal.
Frauer knew that all of this was because of Qin Yun.
The Police Chief was speaking to him this way to Curry favor with Qin Yun.
After greeting and saying goodbye to Qin Yun, the Police Chief finally drove away.
Once they saw the Police Chief drive off, The Frauer Family finally snapped out of it and hurried forward to welcome the greatest hero of this incident, Qin Yun.
"You didn't run into any trouble at the police station, did you? After all this commotion, you must be hungry. Let's continue our meal."
"Mr. Qin, you are truly amazing! That arrogant Police Chief, who usually looks down on us, actually spoke to us like that!"
"It is our honor to have you at our home. Please, come inside!"
After learning of Qin Yun's status, The Frauer Family became cautious, not daring to be too close to him.
Qin Yun couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
One could say he caused all this, but he had only done what he should, yet The Frauer Family's attitude had changed so drastically.
"There's no need to take such small matters to heart."
"This matter is over. Let's all eat together."
Qin Yun did not change his attitude just because The Frauer Family was intentionally trying to please him.
He still greeted them very warmly.
At the dining table, Qin Yun ate his breakfast calmly.
The Frauer Family, however, became quite constrained.
Julia, being quick-witted, told a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere, so the mood at the table didn't become too awkward.
Because of the distress call from Frauers House, people from the surrounding small farms came over one after another to check on the situation.
When they learned that Golden Tooth's criminal gang, which had been terrorizing the area, had been wiped out in one go, they all showed expressions of shock.
The tyrannical Golden Tooth was eliminated just like that by the police station that used to be in league with him; was the sun rising from the west today?
They immediately began to feel skeptical.
"The favor you asked of me is no longer necessary. Qin Yun has been released, while Golden Tooth has been arrested. The police station is currently rounding up his criminal gang."
A highly respected Lawyer in town called Frauer to deliver the good news.
After expressing his gratitude, Frauer hung up the phone.
Everyone who had come to Frauers House was stunned.
It was actually true!
Qin Yun actually possessed such power; this refined-looking Xia Country boy was actually a big shot.
"It's wonderful that you stepped in to help, otherwise The Frauer Family would have been finished!"
"Thank you for helping us get rid of the town's biggest pest. Our lives will be much easier from now on. This is all thanks to you!"
"Mr. Qin, are you satisfied with this place? There aren't many good things in this small town, but if you have any needs, we will do our best to satisfy them!"
"Mr. Qin, may I ask what line of work you are in?"
...Having learned of Qin Yun's deeds, everyone hurried to show their goodwill toward him.
At first, Qin Yun found it quite pleasant, feeling a bit light-headed from the praise.
But after hearing too much of it, he began to feel his scalp tingle with awkwardness.
"I am just an ordinary person. There's no need for so much formality."
Hearing Qin Yun's words, everyone laughed sheepishly, realizing they had gone a bit overboard.
They backed away several meters, watching Qin Yun cautiously.
Some of the larger Farm Owners and prominent figures in town, upon hearing that a big shot who had turned the town upside down had arrived at Frauers House,
also drove over to see Qin Yun's true face.
When they realized Qin Yun was still the young man, those with ulterior motives began to have different ideas.
They arrived accompanied by their most beautiful daughters, dressed in their finest attire.
If that big shot took a liking to their daughter, even if she followed Qin Yun as a servant, they could still rise to prosperity along with her.
Qin Yun saw a group of gorgeously dressed young women flaunting their charms in front of him.
Their parents even hinted that as long as he wanted, their daughters could follow Qin Yun without asking for anything in return.
Looking at these simple girls with a touch of wild beauty, Qin Yun felt a slight stir in his heart.
If these people were to work as servers in the Secondhand Store, business might even reach a new level.
Suddenly, Qin Yun felt the flesh on his waist being twisted three hundred and sixty degrees.
Due to the intense pain, his face instantly scrunched up, and he turned to see Julia's threatening gaze.
He understood immediately; Julia was jealous.
"No need, I just run a small business. It would be a waste for these beauties to follow me."
"So many things have happened today, I'm a bit tired, so I won't entertain you all any further."
Qin Yun waved his hand, declining everyone's kindness.
Everyone caught Qin Yun's meaning of seeing them out and shook their heads in disappointment, leaving with dampened spirits.
Frauers House finally became quiet, and Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"May I ask where the item in the photo is now?"
Now that the irrelevant people were gone, Qin Yun finally had time to look for the yongle encyclopedia.
Frauers Father took a deep breath, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
"When my grandfather was alive, we were considered a prominent family in Borton City. We were quite wealthy and lived a very glorious life."
"However, after grandfather died, the family declined. Along with my father and the others splitting the family to seek their own livelihoods, we ended up in this godforsaken place to be Farm Owners."
"There were many things and warehouses at home. We sold a portion to cover travel expenses, and the remaining things we didn't recognize or that didn't look valuable were shipped here as mementos. The item you're looking for is likely in the warehouse in town. I'll take you there now."
Thinking about the glorious days of the past compared to now, scraping by with a small farm, Frauers Father felt quite bitter.
"Life is unpredictable; we can only leave things to fate. As long as we do our best, there's nothing to regret."
Qin Yun comforted Frauers Father with a sentence, then set off with Frauer to the location of the town's warehouse.
The conditions here were very crude. It was located on a dilapidated plaza where even the concrete ground was cracked, with many messy weeds growing through.
There was only an old man guarding the entrance; it seemed no one cared much about the items stored in the warehouses.
Under Frauer's lead, Qin Yun arrived at the five warehouses belonging to Frauers House.
The iron doors were covered in rust, and the surface of the concrete walls had begun to peel off.
Knowing the yongle encyclopedia was right before him, Qin Yun didn't care at all about the dilapidated surroundings.
He was extremely excited, only hoping that inside such a warehouse, the yongle encyclopedia hadn't suffered any damage.
Qin Yun was already impatient for the yongle encyclopedia and immediately activated his Profound Vision Treasure Eye.
The treasure light of the five warehouses was clearly presented before his eyes.
Several warehouses had scattered green light, but only one warehouse had a rich blue treasure light.
Qin Yun was suddenly stunned.
This wasn't right.
The treasure light of the yongle encyclopedia should be at least gold. How could the best treasure light here be blue?
Had The Frauer Family lied to him?
That was impossible; they had no reason to do such a thing!
