Egg Yolk leaped off Qin Feng's shoulder and shot forward in a single bound.
Jiang Xiaoyu held her breath, her beautiful eyes widening.
"Egg Yolk, Thunderbolt!"
"Pika-chu!" In an instant, two dazzling golden bolts of electricity burst from the round red patches on Pikachu's cheeks and struck straight at Jigglypuff.
Before Jigglypuff could react,
black smoke rose from its head.
Zapped!
"Now! Hurry and throw the ball!"
At Qin Feng's shout, Jiang Xiaoyu let out an "Awoo~!"
ヽ(✿◕ ∀◕)☆*:..
She hurled the Poké Ball in her hand.
The moment the Poké Ball touched Jigglypuff, it sprang open.
Jigglypuff also let out an "Awoo," turned into a streak of red light, and was drawn into the Poké Ball.
Jiang Xiaoyu covered her mouth with both hands, too excited to speak.
The next moment, she threw her arms around Qin Feng. "Thank you, Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng froze. The girl's distinctive fragrance made his head swim.
If I push her away now, would that count as going against a woman's wishes?
Forget it. I'll just endure it!
Once Jiang Xiaoyu realized what she was doing, she immediately let go.
A blush spread across her pretty face.
"Sorry... I was just so excited!"
Back at Pokémon Home, Qin Feng gave Jiang Xiaoyu a month's supply of Energy Blocks.
After all, he had gotten over a hundred thousand out of her, and he felt a little guilty.
Jiang Xiaoyu, however, had already forgotten all about the hundred-odd thousand she had spent.
She could hardly wait to go home and play with Jigglypuff.
Qin Feng opened the system panel.
[Number of Pokémon Homes: 1] [Number of trainers: 2] [Revenue: 150000] [Attention: 13090200]
Looking at the figures displayed by the system, Qin Feng felt he needed to step up his marketing.
Otherwise, how long would it take him to reach a hundred million in sales?
He stayed at the shop until after two in the afternoon. A few people came in during that time.
Apart from two people buying dog food, only one asked Qin Feng what his business offered.
When Qin Feng mentioned the price, the man merely rolled his eyes, called him an idiot, and left!
He returned to the classroom.
To his surprise, Jiang Xiaoyu had not shown up for the afternoon class.
Seriously... She's a class officer, yet she's letting her pet distract her from everything!
If someone became her boyfriend, wouldn't he end up...
Scary, scary! Qin Feng grumbled to himself.
Wang Lin leaned over and patted his shoulder. "You're really famous now. That video online has over two million likes. Why don't you start your own Douyin account?"
Qin Feng had actually considered that himself. Making his own videos would be the fastest way to promote Pokémon Home.
He got straight to it and immediately began working on short videos.
Suddenly, the classroom fell silent.
The English teacher looked toward the classroom door in surprise.
"May I ask what you're here for?"
Several uniformed men stood at the door, their eyes cold as they surveyed the students.
One burly man scanned the classroom before asking coldly,
"Who is Qin Feng?"
Everyone turned to look at the back of the classroom.
Qin Feng pointed at his own nose. "Me?"
The uniformed men walked up to Qin Feng, showed their credentials, and said,
"We're from the National Security Bureau. We need you to come with us so we can ask you about a few things."
Hearing that, and recalling what Ye Chen had said that morning, Qin Feng instantly understood what was happening.
He smiled calmly and stood up to leave.
"What right do you have to take him away?" Wang Lin asked, stepping in front of Qin Feng. Deng Jialiang also stood up.
The burly man leading them shoved him aside and said sternly,
"Do not obstruct the National Security Bureau in the performance of its duties."
Qin Feng turned to Wang Lin. "I expected this. It'll be fine."
He was confident he would be fine because, in his original world, humans and Pokémon coexisted without any problems.
There were no shared viral infections or genetic modifications.
So once he explained everything, there should not be any major issues.
After all, Earth still had so many undiscovered species.
Besides, if he wanted to popularize Pokémon, gaining recognition from the authorities was a necessary step.
Why not take this opportunity to resolve it all at once?
As Qin Feng walked out of the classroom, he saw Ye Chen at the end of the corridor.
"Qin Feng, what happened? Did you commit some kind of crime?"
"Do you need me to put in a good word for you with these officers?"
After saying that, Ye Chen gave a smug smile.
Qin Feng snorted coldly, turned away, and left.
Ye Chen took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello! Uncle Li, you absolutely can't let this brat off lightly."
"All right. I'm counting on you, Uncle Li."
After hanging up, a sinister glint appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.
He turned and disappeared down the corridor.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xiaoyu arrived at the classroom looking delighted.
But the atmosphere in the classroom was distinctly strange.
"What crime did Qin Feng commit? The National Security Bureau isn't the police. Could he be a spy?"
"Could it have something to do with that pet of his?"
"Oh, come on. Use your heads. He offended Ye Chen, and the Ye Family is so powerful. Wouldn't dealing with him be easy?"
"If Ye Chen really did this, Qin Feng is finished this time!"
Hearing their discussion, Jiang Xiaoyu knitted her delicate brows.
Wang Lin and Deng Jialiang came over to her.
"Xiaoyu, Qin Feng was just taken away. We think Ye Chen is pulling strings behind the scenes."
It was no secret that Jiang Xiaoyu came from a wealthy family.
Besides, Qin Feng had offended Ye Chen because of something involving her.
So they hoped Jiang Xiaoyu could step in and help resolve the situation.
After asking a few questions, Jiang Xiaoyu did not learn anything more.
She turned and left the classroom.
"Hello! Uncle Wang, it's Jiang Xiaoyu."
"Yes, my grandfather is doing very well. Thank you for asking, Uncle Wang."
"By the way, Uncle Wang, I'd like to ask you to look into something for me."
"A classmate of mine was taken away by people from the National Security Bureau, but I don't know exactly why."
"No, he's not my boyfriend."
"His name is Qin Feng. All right. Sorry for the trouble, Uncle Wang."
Jiang Xiaoyu's grandfather was a retired government official.
The person she had just called was her grandfather's former subordinate, Wang Jiankun, deputy director of the Jiangning Municipal Police Bureau.
With Wang Jiankun's capabilities, as far as Qin Feng's case was concerned,
all they needed was a genetic test on the Pokémon to provide evidence that it was a new species.
As long as it had not been genetically engineered, he should be fine.
Even after making the call, Jiang Xiaoyu still felt uneasy.
She took a taxi straight to the police bureau to wait for news.
After the men bundled Qin Feng into their car, they drove straight to the Jiangning Branch of the National Security Bureau.
The National Security Bureau was an independent agency.
It did not fall under Jiangning's administration, so in some respects, its law enforcement powers were actually quite extensive.
As long as they deemed it necessary, even the mayor of Jiangning could not intervene.
That was why Ye Chen was so confident Qin Feng would not escape this time.
Unauthorized genetic modification could, at the very least, constitute a violation of the Biosafety Law.
At worst, it could be treated as a crime against humanity.
If they pinned that charge on him, he would be in serious trouble.
Inside Deputy Director Wang's office,
Jiang Xiaoyu looked deeply worried.
The middle-aged man at the desk frowned and asked,
"Has this classmate of yours offended anyone recently?"
Jiang Xiaoyu murmured, repeating his words, "Offended anyone?"
"Yes, he offended Ye Chen from the Ye Group."
Understanding dawned on Wang Jiankun. "No wonder. I just asked someone to look into this."
"They said it's a little tricky. As you know, the National Security Bureau and our bureau are separate agencies. They don't fall under our jurisdiction."
"Xiaoyu, offending the Ye Family is no small matter. I'm afraid that if you want to resolve this..."
Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Uncle Wang, please just tell me."
Wang Jiankun sighed. "Given the Ye Family's influence, the person who caused this is the one who has to resolve it."
"In other words, I'm afraid your classmate will have to approach Ye Chen and make peace with him!"
After leaving Wang Jiankun's office,
Jiang Xiaoyu's face was full of guilt.
Qin Feng had offended Ye Chen because of her.
If anything really happened to him, she would never be able to live with herself.
She took out her phone again and dialed.
"Hello! Grandpa, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Jiang Xiaoyu's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
