Gulu chuckled, “Didn’t expect this, did you? My house is full of traps! After all, there are countless valuable things here.”
Then his expression darkened as he said, “Tell me! What are you doing in my house?”
Sun Wukong replied, “We suspect you of being a thief!”
“You break into my house in the middle of the night and accuse me of being a thief?”
“Let us out, or else don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Locked in a cage and still so arrogant, I’d like to see how you plan to be rude…”
Before Gulu could finish, his eyes widened like lanterns as he saw Sun Wukong bend the iron bars of the cage with his bare hands and walk out.
Gulu tried to escape but was caught by Sun Wukong.
Gulu struggled and said, “Let me go! It hurts! If you want gold and silver, I’ll give it to you, alright?”
“We’re not here for gold and silver. There have been frequent thefts in Mount Sea Island recently. We want you to confess if you’re the thief.”
“How could I be the thief?”
“Not the thief? Then where did all the gold in your house come from?”
“That… I can’t say… I don’t want to say…”
Zhu Yinen interrupted, “Can’t say? Don’t want to say? That’s exactly what a thief would say, and you say you’re not a thief?”
“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you…”
“Try us!”
“Alright, actually, I’m an alien…”
Gulu thought they wouldn’t believe him, but to his surprise, Sun Wukong said, “An alien? There are many strange and extraordinary people coming and going from Mount Sea Island, we’re not surprised. But aliens can’t steal either!”
“Who said I stole? Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. These gold and silver treasures, I brought them from another planet. Gold and silver are everywhere on our planet, like sand on Earth, they’re worthless. I didn’t expect them to be so valuable on Earth. It’s hard not to get rich bringing them here!”
Hearing this, Zhu Yinen’s eyes lit up. He pondered and said, “Gold and silver everywhere? Such a good thing…”
Sun Wukong, however, skeptically asked, “Even if what you say is true, why do you always go out at night, acting so suspicious?”
“Bro, I use a spaceship to go back to my planet. Going out during the day would scare people. If you don’t believe me, take a look.”
He opened his phone and showed Sun Wukong and Zhu Yinen the spaceship’s surveillance.
Sun Wukong said, “Alright, the truth is finally revealed, let’s go back.”
But Zhu Yinen said, “Wait, there’s one more important thing.”
He turned to Gulu, “What’s your relationship with Sweet Chang?”
His eyes burned with jealousy.
“Sweet Chang? I don’t know who that is.”
“Still pretending not to know? Our famous and beautiful scientist of Mount Sea Island, Chang Zai! Someone saw her frequently coming to your house.”
“Oh, you mean Chang Zai. Just say Chang Zai, why say sweet Chang?”
“Cut the crap! Tell me, what’s your relationship?”
“Why are you so angry? We’re just… ordinary friends.”
“Ordinary friends? Do ordinary friends visit you often?”
“She’s interested in outer space, isn’t she? She’s already been to the moon and plans to go to Mars next. She knows I’m an alien and often comes to me to learn about other planets!”
