Qiao Zhen still deposited 3,000 yuan into her parents' bank account every month, and every transaction was recorded. As for whether the three Qiao brothers could get the bank card password from their parents, that was uncertain.

Even though Qiao Zhen and Xu Li were no longer in a relationship, Qiao Zhen still called Xu Li to thank him. She is a good girl who knows how to be grateful.

Qiao Zhen: [Following up on Xu Li's activities.]

Okay, but when are you planning to pay for the emoticons and emojis?

Chu Chu: 【(*/ω＼*)(〃'▽'〃)（Waiting for a rain in the third year of the Republic of China, never receiving an "I love you" in a lifetime.JPG）Take it, take it.】

Thank you, Chuchu!

Qiao Zhen's scenes in "The Legend of Concubine Mao" will probably not end until February next year, and her screen time is second only to the male and female leads. The director was quite bold to agree to let her play the second female lead.

Qiao Zhen had no scenes to film today, so she went to Emperor Entertainment, the largest entertainment venue in Beijing, to have some fun. Qiao Zhen had heard that there were many handsome young ladies and cute young men at Emperor Entertainment, so she went to a private room alone.

Qiao Zhen: [Are you sure Xu Li is coming this way?]

That's right, he went into the next private room just five minutes after you came in (〃'▽'〃) ]

Chu Chu: [Let's see if it's a case of the hero saving the damsel in distress or the damsel in distress saving the hero today. Shall we make a bet? I'm betting on the damsel in distress saving the hero, and I'm wagering two emoticons.]

【Then I...I bet, I bet a face-changing spray that's a hero saving a damsel in distress!】

Qiao Zhen had no time to care about them. She ordered some strong liquor and started chugging it down. She deliberately staggered to the bathroom, and when she came back, she deliberately opened the door to the next stall. She saw blurry figures inside and a black gangster with a gun. "Hmm...?"

She opened her blurry, drunken eyes, staggered back a few steps, looked at the number of the private room, then entered the room, bent over sharply at a ninety-degree angle, and loudly exclaimed, "Excuse me! I've entered the wrong room!"

Xu Li gave a few instructions to the man in the suit next to him, and the man went over to help Qiao Zhen leave.

When Qiao Zhen was taken back to the private room, she slumped limply onto the long sofa. [Xiao Ling, go check what's happening next door!]

Xiao Ling is the system with the code name 0.

Xiao Ling: [Come on, look at the big screen.]

Qiao Zhen activated visual sharing with Chu Chu in her mind, so the person, the pet, and the system all watched Xu Li's transaction with the black big boss. Qiao Zhen's eyes were still hazy, as if they were unfocused.

Xu Li rubbed the ring on his left index finger with the index finger and thumb of his right hand. His wispy bangs obscured the emotions in his eyes. "If you want to continue cooperating, I hope you can show sincerity."

The burly, strong black men stared fiercely at Xu Li, all wearing earphones. They seemed to realize that Xu Li was trying to stall for time, and a chaotic brawl broke out in the private room.

Xu Li dodged the black boss's bullets by flipping over. He swiftly fired a silenced gun at the black man's legs, but only hit two insignificant black men at the back.

Qiao Zhen quickly and unsteadily got up. She opened the door to the private room and helped herself out. She needed to make her presence known to Xu Li, and now was the perfect opportunity. Seeing the well-hidden black man walking towards her, she immediately threw her bag at him, yelling, "You pervert!"

The black man seemed to have been caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events; he tried to draw his gun but was stopped by his accomplice.

Qiao Zhen only hoped that she could stall until Xu Li came looking for her. Like a shrew, she slapped the black tycoon's face with her hand, "Hey, little brother, you look like charcoal. Nobody's going to support you, right? Come on, come with me. You'll get... 20,000 yuan a month. How about being my bodyguard? Hehehe."

Qiao Zhen: [Xiao Ling, exchange two emoticons for one camera needle, quick!]

Xiao Ling: [Okay (〃'▽'〃)]

The black man roughly shoved Qiao Zhen aside. They didn't want to attract attention. This business deal was very important, and they dared not act rashly. If it were an ordinary business deal, they would have already smashed Qiao Zhen's head in.

Qiao Zhen's legs buckled and she collapsed to the ground. Instinctively, she grabbed the black man's leg and stabbed the camera needle into his shoe. Then, she stammered and slumped to the ground, "Oh my god, someone is harassing me. Is it my fault that I'm so beautiful? No, if being beautiful is the fault, I'm willing to bear the consequences!"

When Xu Li caught up, he only saw Qiao Zhen lying on the ground, babbling incoherently. Looking at the various people in the corridor, he ordered the people behind him, "Withdraw!"

Xu Li picked up the limp Qiao Zhen and left. He took Qiao Zhen to a villa in the wealthy downtown area and poured ice water from the refrigerator directly on Qiao Zhen's head.

The cold sensation brought Qiao Zhen back to her senses. She looked around at her unfamiliar surroundings. "Where am I?" she asked, straining her eyes to make out Xu Li. "Who are you?"

Xu Li frowned deeply. When he saw Qiao Zhen slumped in the corridor of the private room, saying that someone had harassed her, the anger in his chest lingered for a long time. His actions just now were also an outlet for his anger. So when his rationality returned, he carried Qiao Zhen into the bathroom and said, "Wash yourself."

After saying that, he left the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He scratched his head hard, then took out a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down. He was going crazy!

He was driven crazy by that woman, Qiao Zhen!

Qiao Zhen was actually conscious, but her body and mind felt like they were blocked with glue. With great willpower, she walked to the bathtub to turn on the water and then threw herself in. Not by sliding down against the bathtub wall, but by stepping one foot into the tub while the other dangled in the air, and then falling flat on her backside in the tub.
