Chapter 473

"It is my fault."

After checking the Witch's Broom on the table and finding that this thing was temporarily unusable, the red-haired director reached out to rub her eyebrows and seriously reviewed herself to Leon:

"I forgot to consider your situation. The previous owner of this broom was very rich and was also a standard cat lover, and was very willing to spend money in this regard.

Although she told me that I could just take care of that cat with ordinary standards, the ordinary standards in her mouth were still a bit too high for ordinary people... Hmm... but you don't have to worry too much."

After fiddling with the Witch's Broom and confirming that it was just unable to be "activated" and not completely lost its "anomaly," the red-haired director spoke to comfort him:

"The Bobby Laien Bureau and that witch have always been in contact. I will ask them to help you explain it. Even if that witch cannot be contacted for the time being, it doesn't matter, as long as the broom is still in your hands.

According to the contract, that cat will still come next Friday. As long as you accompany her well then and don't use your basin to hold sand for her as a toilet again, the Witch's Broom should be able to return to normal."

After listening to the red-haired director's words, Leon, who had accumulated a pile of things, couldn't help but frown:

"So... at the slowest, it might take a week?"

"A week if it's slow, two or three days if it's fast, it depends on when that witch's ball game is finished."

After giving an uncertain time, the red-haired director smiled and said:

"It's okay, wait a week if you have to wait a week. There's no need to rush into the Laien family. That dead sheep's heart shouldn't run away in a short time.

And aren't you still preparing to move? It will definitely be troublesome then. You can just take this opportunity to tidy up and handle some miscellaneous matters along the way."

That's true...

Thinking about the shooting badge still stuck at Bronze, as well as the luggage at home that hadn't been packed, Leon nodded in agreement with the red-haired director's statement, then seemed to remember something and asked with some hesitation:

"That... Senior Ai Ma told me that the deeper the understanding of anomalies and the more anomalous objects one comes into contact with, the easier it is to be targeted by new anomalies.

Although the Happiness Apartment is harmless and can protect the residents inside, it is also an anomalous object, right? If I move my whole family there..."

"Move with peace of mind, they won't be targeted by anomalous objects."

The red-haired director waved her hand:

"The beginning of infection stems from 'knowing.' They know nothing about the existence of anomalous objects, neither clear that they are using anomalous objects, nor can they understand the way anomalies exist, so they are still in the category of ordinary people and will not be targeted.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is not to use anomalous objects in front of them in the future, because after they move into the Happiness Apartment, the Evil God's Brain in the bureau will no longer confuse their memories."

"I have remembered."

After listening to the answer given by the red-haired director, Leon was completely relieved this time. He nodded and picked up the broom on the table, just about to leave, but was called to a stop by the red-haired director.

"Wait, take a look at this."

This is... a newspaper? Could it be that some anomalous event happened and it was reported in the newspaper?

Seeing the stack of newspapers handed over by the red-haired director, Leon couldn't help but tighten his expression, immediately entered the worker state, and flipped through them with a serious face.

"Winter Romance Matchmaking Meeting, Find the One Most Suitable for You"

"Eight Practical Tips to Teach You How to Lose Belly Fat in Thirty Days"

"Meikou Underwear New Arrivals, Welcome All Customers to Come to the Store to Try On"

"Spray Perfume Here, Just One Hug Will Make Him Lustful"

"..."

?????????

"Wrong! It's not 'Beauty Focus,' I want you to look at the next one!"

After snatching back the newspaper with the mark Leon made, the red-haired director coughed, covered up a little embarrassment, then pulled the "Sun" out from the stack of newspapers, pointed to the front page that occupied the entire layout, and pursed her lips: "Look, the matter of the water company has been poked out, it was just seen in the newspaper this morning."

Hmm? Besides me, is there actually someone else staring at the water company's matter?

Hearing that the water company's matter had been poked out, Leon couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Although after Charles Department Store took on the compensation, those patients lying in the hospital had already received compensation, the most important significance of poking out the truth had already been achieved in advance.

But for Leon, who had seen the faces of those three nobles, being able to watch those bastards get into trouble was a great thing in itself, but this title...

"'Fecal Water' Incident Intentional? Thomas Laien: Evidence is Forged"

Thomas... is that the name of the blond middle-aged man in the Laien family? So the matter of the water company was just poked out, and there is no final conclusion yet?

After reading this title, which could only be considered "neutral," Leon couldn't help but frown and sighed silently in his heart.

If only the evidence hadn't been lost...

After beating up that damn editor-in-chief of the "Daily," he originally thought about going to Charles Department Store, preparing to hand over the evidence that could prove the fecal water incident was intentional to them, but he was blocked by that toad just right.

And when he was moved from the shopping plaza to in front of it, he was holding a sheep head in one hand and a broom in the other, and really didn't have a third hand, so the evidence should have fallen in the shopping plaza.

Later, although he solved the toad, he was smashed into the hospital by the Golden Wheel Mountain. After waking up and going to look for it, he couldn't find it anymore. It is estimated that someone...

Damn! So it was you who picked it up!

After looking at the words "Evidence was picked up by a reporter from Charles Department Store headquarters" in the report, Leon couldn't help but have a dark face, and he could already guess what would happen next.

Sure enough, when that blond guy named Thomas was interviewed, he directly sneered at the authenticity of this evidence, stating that the water company had never had a theft, and that intentionally pouring fecal water to drag down Charles Department Store was even more nonsense.

He even took the opportunity to mock Charles Department Store, constantly implying in his words that this was a trick played by that "Old Charles" who didn't want to bear the huge compensation and tried to divert public attention, and so on.

"Sigh..."

When he saw this, Leon knew that there was no need to read the subsequent reports.

As a major shareholder of Charles Water Company, if this evidence was poked out by Charles Department Store, it naturally had a certain credibility. Even if the reporter wrote that he received an anonymous report, it could make everyone suspect it a little, at least it could be taken seriously.

But that reporter was just too upright, directly writing that the information was picked up by him, and he wasn't afraid of others suspecting him of making things up... Sigh... forget it, compared to others who didn't even dare to report it, people daring to poke things out was brave enough, not to mention that he was originally telling the truth, the evidence was indeed picked up.

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon didn't dwell too much on this, but calmly returned the newspaper to the red-haired director.

"Don't you want to say something?"

Looking at Leon, whose eyes were full of helplessness and depression but not much anger, the red-haired director couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"Those three escaped sanctions, I thought you would be very unhappy, why do you look like you are not angry at all?"

"Angry, of course I am angry."

Leon shook his head and said:

"But my purpose in stealing the evidence was not to punish evil and promote good, but to let those patients get compensation, so they wouldn't have to lie on the hospital floor and scream.

Although it's not perfect right now, it can be considered to have completed the original goal, so I'll just note the rest down and talk about it when I have a chance later... Do you have anything else? If not, I want to take advantage of these few days to go to the shooting range to practice more."

"Nothing~ go, go~"

After watching Leon leave with a smile, the red-haired director took a sip of tea and narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

So it's not giving up completely, but preparing to note it down first and talk about it when there is a chance?

Say... I asked him to infiltrate the Laien family in the name of recognizing relatives, he won't take this "opportunity" to make a "big news" for me, will he?
