Chapter 787: Was I pua by him?
Generally speaking, this job is not very difficult. Most time travelers are still at the stage of how to prove that my mother is my mother.

So far, there has been no character with a different style from others, with pie-shaped eyes or a wicked smile at the corners of his mouth.

The intelligence positioning from the Astronomical Bureau was quite accurate and rapid. Notes were spit out like they were free. Wang Yunxiao led his men to scan the streets one by one.

We arrested people overnight and reaped a lot of rewards.

By the next morning, two areas in Nantong District had been cleared and more than 20 people had been arrested.

In the late night, he took his brothers back to the Secret Service Bureau, slept on the floor, and took a nap. Then he got up in the morning to continue working.

At 9:30 in the morning, Wang Yunxiao met an old man who was stealing books in a bookstore.

People say he stole books because bookstores these days are all private transactions and no one provides you with a seat so you can read for free for a day.

But if you shamelessly insist on looking, the boss can't do anything about it.

After all, intellectuals have a high status these days, and who knows if he has any connections with teachers and students behind him.

According to the shop owner, the old man came here to read books since yesterday. He originally planned to buy books, but he didn't have much money with him, so he gave all of his three or four silver dollars to the owner and stayed just to read.

Because of his age, the boss didn't dare to say anything.

As a result, I waited outside the bookstore before it opened today.

He had no money left in his pocket, and judging from his complexion, he probably didn't get enough rest last night. The bookstore owner was afraid that he would die in his store, so he prepared tea and peanuts for him and invited him to sit in the back hall.

When Wang Yunxiao came over, there was already a thick pile of books on the desk in front of the old man. It looked to be about two feet high. Most of them were books on social studies and humanities, including some Western translations.

Just looking at the books in front of him, no one would dare to treat him as an ordinary person.

Wang Yunxiao coughed and was about to speak when the old man looked up and said with a smile, "I saw you arresting people on the street. Don't worry, I won't run away. Where can I run to at my age? Go arrest others first, and then come arrest me."

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, this is bad, an SSR has been issued. From the way the man spoke, he knew he was not an ordinary person.

"I am Wang Yunxiao, the chief of the Special Agent Section of the Nantong District Police Department. May I ask what your name is, sir?"

The old man sighed, stood up, straightened his clothes, folded his hands and bowed, saying, "I am Li Mingshen, the current Chinese teacher at Beiyang Western Learning School. Lord Wang, please be kind enough to allow me to stay here for a while, even if it's just to read a few more pages of a book."

Seeing the old man's pitiful and aggrieved look, Wang Yunxiao felt a little funny and helpless at the same time.

"Sir, you should know something about this?"

"I have only a rough guess, but I dare not make any conclusions."

The old man said impatiently, "My Lord, please get back to your work and stop wasting time talking to me."

“How much can you remember by reading like this?”

"I have read a lot of books since I was young and have a photographic memory. Please don't worry about it... Or, how much silver do you think this jade pendant of mine is worth?"

The old man took out a dragon jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wang Yunxiao: "Please help me exchange some silver. I will buy all these books and take them away!"

Wang Yunxiao took the jade pendant and looked at it. Although he didn't understand it, he could feel that it was indeed a good material.

It’s hard to say how much it’s worth, and I guess the bookstore owner doesn’t dare to take it.

So he turned around and went out to make a phone call, then came back to find the old teacher and said politely, "Mr. Li, since you are a teacher, can I take you to the school to settle down temporarily?"

The old man sighed, pointed at the books in front of him and said, "I will take all these books with me." "There is a library in the school."

"Can I take the books from the library?"

The old man was determined to take the book back.

Wang Yunxiao couldn't do anything about him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay for you."

"You want to pay?"

The old man was immediately delighted when he heard this: "Then I will pick some more!"

"Can you carry it?"

"I can carry it!"

It would be strange if you could memorize it.

When he heard that someone was paying the bill, the old man became very aggressive and wanted to take all the books off the other person's bookshelf. When he came out of the bookstore, he was carrying two large boxes, which weighed more than 100 kilograms in total.

The box was given by my boss.

Without a pull rod and pulley, the old man was so tired that he broke into a cold sweat just by picking up the books, how could he lift them? After trying several times without success, he turned around and glared at Wang Yunxiao fiercely.

Who are you with? I'm not your student!

Wang Yunxiao glared back fiercely. The two stared at each other in silence for a moment. The old man said helplessly, "Master Wang, I really have no money on me. I will get you fifty taels of tea when I get back..."

"You want me to carry you all the way back?"

Wang Yunxiao said angrily: "I told you to take as much as you can! It will be dangerous on the road and no one will care about you!"

Capturing this group of time travelers is only the simplest step in the entire "homecoming" operation.

The next problem is how to send them back.

Wang Yunxiao knows better than anyone how dangerous the outer dimension is.

It’s not a big deal if there are monsters and ghosts on the road, but what if these people suddenly go crazy while walking?
Moreover, the polluting nature of knowledge is self-evident. It would be fine if you just flipped through the books yourself, but you had to bring back so many books that do not belong to your era. Who will be responsible if you cause trouble?
The old man pursed his lips, looking as aggrieved as a child.

Where is your literary integrity? Why are you pretending to be a virgin with wrinkles on your face?
"Add another hundred taels..."

"Do I need that little money from you? If I help you carry the books now, wouldn't it seem like I'm after your little money?"

"You can't say that. Lord Wang is in a high position at such a young age. You are a man of real ability, definitely not the kind of person who engages in corruption. You helped me move the books because you are kind and gentle, respecting the elderly and loving the young, just like Zhang Liang picking up shoes. I rewarded you with money, just like Zilu accepting the ox. I don't want to let the person carrying firewood for everyone freeze to death in the snow. It is definitely not a bribe."

"Sir, you are really good at speaking."

"please."

After carrying two large boxes of books into the car, Wang Yunxiao came to his senses and wondered, "Was I being pua'd by this old guy?"
It would definitely not be a good idea to leave him alone outside. Who knows what kind of trouble this cunning person might cause.

Fortunately, Principal Zhou was very interested in this old man. Wang Yunxiao called back to ask for his opinion. Principal Zhou immediately said that he would invite the old man to come for tea and chat.

As both are teachers, they must have a lot in common.
