Chapter 497: Chapter 463: Three Projects

"Stinky brat! If you dare touch them, I’ll break your mother’s legs!"

"Uh..."

The middle-aged man wore a bitter face as he pleaded repeatedly.

"Are you going to break my legs or my mom’s legs?"

"Still mouthing off! Do you believe I will slap you?"

"No no no, I dare not, I dare not..."

Seeing that the middle-aged man was somewhat cooperative, the elderly men and women eased off a bit with their comments, but they kept ruthlessly exposing his faults.

"Doubting Little White and Xi Tang? I find your bed-wetting at seven rather mysterious. Why don’t you check if you’re even an Earthling?"

"Yes, that’s right, his mom wasn’t home, and I remember I even helped him wash his blanket! The pee smell drifted ten miles against the wind!"

"Oh? If I’m not mistaken, he vomited the first time he ate KFC, right?"

The middle-aged man blushed and couldn’t refute as they recounted one event after another.

What troubled him most were the young people around him who were younger by several generations.

Every single one of them watched with great interest, some were even struggling to suppress their laughter.

Who would have thought such a big figure on TV had such "colorful" past adventures?

And he couldn’t even lose his temper.

These old men and women not only spoke the truth but also had watched him grow up, some even caring for him more than his own parents had.

After scolding him for nearly an hour, they finally let it go.

When the middle-aged man left, even his usually straight back was hunched...

"Ah~"

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly.

He inwardly thought it was unbelievable that even after so many years, the pressure when being scolded was still so immense.

These elders were actually people from the military yard where Little White and Jiang Xiao had spent time.

In their age, they loved teasing the younger generations the most.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

The number of young people in the military yard was dwindling.

Their children had settled elsewhere; who wanted to trek out to these suburbs?

Now, there were still young people here, but they were mostly acquaintances who sent their younger relatives to network and familiarize faces, and they were generally those over twenty.

Moreover, they were all tiptoeing around the elders, completely unable to relax.

In contrast, the lively and mischievous Little White and Xi Tang were very much adored by them.

Right then, they were planning to visit Qingshan to see Little White and Mu Xitang to celebrate the New Year there.

Who would have thought that just as they were joyfully packing, they suddenly learned that someone was planning to operate on Little White?

My God...

Did this not stir up trouble?

Although they hadn’t spent much time together, many regarded Little White and Mu Xitang as their own granddaughters.

The youngsters in the yard knew this fact.

These elders might not always watch Jiang Xiao’s streams.

But they certainly kept a constant watch on Little White and Mu Xitang’s personal accounts, even a regular post about eating or doing homework could bring a motherly smile to these old ladies’ faces.

Their "granddaughter" was about to be "seized and strictly interrogated" by order of their "son"?

So, that "son"... was directly ordered to catch a flight over to be scolded.

If it weren’t for people holding them back, some of the elders might have really struck him...

"Quick, quick, quick, let’s go now, if this mess affects Little White and her friends, scares them, I’m definitely going to have him come to Qingshan and apologize in person!"

"I was just thinking of slapping him! How old are Little White and the others? Nowadays, with such huge online public opinion, I heard they are still in kindergarten..."

"What if their classmates start shunning or isolating them because they’re prejudiced?"

"Bring more gifts; it’s our first time meeting their mother, and going empty-handed wouldn’t be appropriate..."

"Humph! If you ask me, just move them into the system so that no one can touch them rashly!"

Huh?

Although it seemed a bit unreasonable, it looked like there was really some logic to it.

Anyway, the last group of old men and old ladies grandly set off.

....

Two flowers blooming, each expressing a branch.

After Jiang Xiao solved the issue with Pennywise, he rejoined Du Lala and the others back at the Weird Research Institute.

They kept their word, letting Jiang Xiao choose three projects.

This point had no objections from either side, and they were not afraid of any tricks.

Jiang Xiao wasn’t worried about the institute palming off junk on him.

The institute also wasn’t worried that Jiang Xiao hadn’t resolved Pennywise but lied to them that he had.

Because there was an "equitable and fair" Analog Horror acting as an intermediary between them.

If you were to say someone felt something was off...

It would probably be Du Lala, who knew a bit about Jiang Xiao.

Wasn’t this kid being too unusually quiet and normal?

You know, Jiang Xiao never played by the rules.

Now that the trouble was resolved, shouldn’t he be sitting on the ground demanding a higher price, asking for the moon in one go?

Although the institute was unlikely to satisfy his unreasonable demands, Jiang Xiao would definitely bring it up.

But now...

Jiang Xiao, with his hands behind his back, walked in front of a bunch of "projects," looking at this, touching that, making satisfied "tsk tsk" sounds occasionally.

Unless he had gotten something exceptionally good, he definitely wouldn’t be behaving this way!

Du Lala thought to herself with certainty as she came to Jiang Xiao’s side to hint.

"Not bad, huh? Got a big haul?"

"It’s alright, just so-so..."

Smiling Jiang Xiao stopped talking halfway, coldly gazing at Du Lala, oh, trying to trick me into talking?

Du Lala was smart too, just a little probe was enough. It looked like he indeed got something good...

Most likely from Pennywise.

"Hehe, Brother Jiang Xiao, who are we kidding? Did you forget about the ’Deceitful Device Soul Separation’ deal between us?"

emm...

That’s right, Du Lala was on his side.

The last ’Soul Separation’ was also given to him by Du Lala "betraying" the organization.

Thinking this, Jiang Xiao cleared his throat, and when no one was paying attention, relayed what he got to Du Lala.

Of course, he didn’t go into details, just mentioned what he got.

A clown mask?

Du Lala looked skeptical and then started sizing up Jiang Xiao continuously.

At first, she thought he got something trivial like toys or even a piece of paper.

Who would have expected such a big mask?

And speaking of which, where was the mask?

There seemed to be no place on Jiang Xiao where he could hide a mask, right?

Noticing Du Lala’s confusion, Jiang Xiao explained.

"Masks can not only be worn on the face, but also fit perfectly on the butt."

Du Lala: "?"

Honestly, that’s kind of perverted...

But then again, no wonder Jiang Xiao absolutely refused to sit in the kiddie rockers earlier, insisting on walking.

So he had goods on his butt...

"Brother Jiang Xiao, you’ve looked around twice now, have you chosen yet?"

B2 also came over, also very curious about what the two had been whispering about.
