"Master, we may be in trouble."

Just as Yun Duo was resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought, Xiao Jiu's voice suddenly entered her mind.

"What's wrong?" Yun Duo jumped, almost standing up. Even though she managed to control herself, her emotions still showed, causing Gu Ying to glance at her subconsciously.

"Uncle Ying, did you hear anything?" Because she had caught Gu Ying's attention, Yun Duo pretended to have heard something and asked Gu Ying with some suspicion.

Gu Ying didn't think that Yun Duo, a young girl, would have much of a mind. She shook her head lightly, uttered two simple words, "No," and then put on her aloof demeanor again.

"No?" Yun Duo deliberately pouted, walking to the door as if she didn't believe it. She peeked around for a while before returning to her previous seat. As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Really? I clearly heard someone say 'ah' just now. Did I just hear wrong?" As she spoke, she 'deliberately' glanced at Gu Ying, and after 'finding' Gu Ying's still expressionless face, she 'pouted' again. Then, pouting, she sat down in the chair, her dangling legs swinging idly, as if she really was a child who was bored while waiting.

After all this, Yun Duo asked Xiao Jiu in her mind, "Xiao Jiu, what exactly happened? What do you mean we're in trouble?"

"Oh dear, they were just interrogating that fat woman. She wasn't going to confess at first, only saying that she was a habitual thief from out of town and didn't know the rules here, asking them to be lenient and saying she was willing to hand over all the stolen goods."

"Then... the manager and his men used torture. The fat woman had a section of her finger cut off. When they were about to cut off the second section, the fat woman confessed. She said they had taken a private bounty to find someone. From the fat woman's description, the person they were looking for seemed to be the biological mother of the body you are using."

"I'm a little worried, Master. Do you think we might get involved in this in the end?"

“Definitely.” Yun Duo replied without hesitation.

She knew it; the people who could bribe so many people at the county hospital and even take her life wouldn't let their guard down. Her stepmother had disappeared for months; those people were bound to become suspicious…

Ugh... this is a bit annoying.

She hasn't even acknowledged her parents yet, and trouble has already arisen. What if she actually does acknowledge them...

Okay, the troubles are still the same.

She won't stop coming just because she acknowledges or doesn't acknowledge her biological parents.

Her only worry now is that if those people trace it back to her, it will implicate her grandparents.

'This is so troublesome, so it's better to be a normal person.' Yun Duo scratched her head in annoyance and asked Xiao Jiu in her mind, 'Xiao Jiu, it's winter now, are those wasps you collected still usable?'

It would be fine in other seasons. But in winter...

Whether they are ants or bees, in winter, unless the sun is shining brightly and there is really not enough food, they all hide in their nests to hibernate.

"Hmm... their combat strength has indeed decreased a lot, but they are still usable. Especially in the autumn, the wasps and soldier ants that I modified can fight for a short time as long as they are provided with food."
