The Chinese Elf's Family Rescue Adventure

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: How Many Years in Prison for Eating a National First-Class



The originally solemn atmosphere became a bit funny because of this scream. Even the noisy barrage changed its style:

[I was going to scold the director for being stupid and making such a low-level mistake. Now... puff, I can't help laughing, hahaha.]

[This shout has the flavor of "Spare my life, hero" in ancient costume dramas. Did this young man follow an ancient costume crew before?]

[Wen Chi can still keep a straight face at this time. He's really something!]

[Hey, the key now is to find Sui Sui's family. The police are here. Hurry up and think about how to deal with it!]

[Wen Chi is really a jinx. Wherever he goes, there's trouble. This time he's even implicated the production team!]

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jian Lin scolded with a dark face. With a wave of her hand, the staff immediately understood and dragged the person away. Her leadership style was so obvious that everyone's eyes were focused on her.

The police captain, Tan Yong, who led the team, looked in his early thirties and was very friendly. He nodded and greeted, "I'm Tan Yong from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. May I have your name?"

"Hello, I'm Jian Lin, the chief director of the variety show." Jian Lin replied with a smile. She was relieved in her heart. The police officer's attitude was good and he didn't seem to come to condemn them.

Jian Lin quickly explained, "Sorry. We just found out about this too. We immediately sent people to look for the child's family in the nearby villages, but we still haven't got any news. It's all because of the poor communication within the team. It's a misunderstanding. If possible, we hope to meet the child's parents and express our apologies to them in person."

The others nodded vigorously, their eyes wide open, hoping that Police Uncle could see that they were law-abiding citizens.

But Tan Yong was confused. "Child? Apologize?"

Jian Lin was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively, "Yes, the child, Sui Sui. Aren't you here for her?"

"No." Tan Yong answered firmly. Everyone was surprised.

If it's not for Sui Sui, could it be that... someone has broken the law?

Some people looked at Wen Chi. The barrage was also full of speculations:

[I immediately thought of the drug use rumor of a certain top star. / 狗头 /]

[Why hasn't the production team turned off the live stream? There's going to be a big show now. Sit back and wait for the melon-eating to begin!]

[The police haven't even said anything yet, but you all seem to know everything.]

[Oh, here come the crazy fans of Wen Chi? Trying to whitewash your idol? It's useless. This is the fact!]

[It's so satisfying. I've disliked Wen Chi for a long time. Go to prison and work on the sewing machine!]

Wen Chi, who was in the center of the misunderstanding, didn't say anything and his face was cold.

Xia Kai next to him was so angry that his face turned red. If it weren't for the live stream and the presence of the police, he would have cursed already.

Tan Yong seemed to notice the strange atmosphere and quickly explained the purpose of his visit. His words shattered everyone's speculations:

"We're here because someone called the police and said that when watching your live show, they discovered a rare plant that had been extinct for many years. The provincial leaders attached great importance to it and sent experts from the forestry department."

"Rare plant?"

Not to mention Jian Lin, everyone present, including the audience in the live stream, Wen Chi, and Xia Kai, didn't expect it to turn out this way.

Tan Yong explained in detail and mentioned that "it looks like a weed".

Xia Kai blurted out, "That's not Sui Sui..."

He quickly stopped and looked at Wen Chi.

Wen Chi's face finally changed.

Tan Yong hurriedly asked, "Do you know where those grasses are?"

"I know." Wen Chi's face was tightly tensed and he pretended to be calm. "Over there."

He pointed with his hand and the two forestry experts rushed over like arrows.

Then, from the corner came wails of both ecstasy and pain:

"The shape of the leaves, the color of the veins, the fragrance... It's really Baishan Chunlan!"

"It's a rare plant that was extinct in the wild forty years ago. I didn't expect there to be any left in this spring mountain! It's definitely a major discovery in the Chinese botanical world!"

"Who dug it out of the soil? It's been left out for so long and the leaves are severely dehydrated... God, this is a devastating damage to the plant!"

"Quick! Contact the institute to prepare a response plan immediately. Make sure the Baishan Chunlan survives!"

"But its condition is too bad. I'm afraid it's too late..."

"That also has to be saved! This is Baishan Chunlan!"

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded. The audience in the live stream didn't even dare to post barrages.

Among them, Wen Chi had the strongest reaction in his heart.

Others were just watching the show, but he was the one involved! Every word the experts said was like carving the word "sinner" on him.

Suddenly, several news flashed through Wen Chi's mind:

A college student was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for capturing a rare bird;

A tourist was sentenced to five years in prison for destroying a first-class protected plant;

...

A plant that was extinct forty years ago should be considered a national first-class protected plant anyway.

How many years in prison would one get for juicing and drinking a national first-class protected plant?

Wen Chi suddenly felt his throat was uncomfortable. He just wanted to spit out the glass of water he drank last night.

With complicated feelings, Wen Chi glanced at Sui Sui.

The people who had surrounded Sui Sui just now were all attracted by the experts. It became quiet around. Sui Sui didn't care. She was sitting on a small stool, holding her chubby face with her small hands.

As the instigator of this chaos, she was so bored that she yawned. She didn't understand what the experts were so excited about at all, and she didn't understand Wen Chi's annoyance and fear.

She seemed hungry. She secretly rubbed her tummy and smacked her lips.

Yes, she had been shouting that she was hungry, but it had been delayed until now.

For a while, Wen Chi didn't have the heart to blame Sui Sui for implicating him. There was only one thought in his mind:

The eggs must be overcooked.

... Alas.

"Brother Xia Kai." Wen Chi suddenly lowered his voice. "Thank you for the past two years."

Xia Kai hadn't come back to his senses yet. "What?"

Wen Chi took a deep breath and walked forward. He walked up to Tan Yong and asked solemnly:

"If, I mean if... someone damages a national first-class protected plant, what will happen?"
