Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...
Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "Long Wangcai doesn't have a chance to hit you now. You were trapped in the backyard and didn't know that he was sent to the government office at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).
The evidence presented by that man was that he had sold inferior goods as superior ones and harmed people's health. All of his loyal subordinates had been arrested, and the people around the government office knew about it.
It's just that the news hasn't spread that far yet. Your going to cause trouble is actually a good thing, helping the people of the capital to see the true colors of Jinlong Grain Shop and Long Wangcai.
Upon hearing this, Chi Damin blinked and said hesitantly, "Then am I a great hero?"
Xu Jinhuan never expected that gamblers could also have a hero complex. He laughed and said, "Of course, if you can make the people of the capital who were kept in the dark realize the truth and stop buying the moldy rice from unscrupulous merchants, you will definitely be considered a hero."
After hearing these words, Chi Damin seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and vigorously shoveled the last two mouthfuls of rice in his bowl.
After finishing his meal, he quickly washed the dishes and dried his hands. With a serious expression, he said, "Master Xu, I'm going to rescue the people of the capital right now!"
After saying that, Chi Damin straightened his back and left the backyard with his head held high, not even asking Xu Jinhuan for the ten taels of silver that had been agreed upon.
Xu Jinhuan blinked. Could being a hero really have such power? Could it make a gambler abandon his money?
Just as she finished her reflection, she saw Chi Damin walk back to the backyard, and he said somewhat awkwardly.
"Master Xu, I know you're a good man, but I'm just a worthless man, and this is how my life will be. Could you please deliver the ten taels of silver I mentioned before to a certain place?"
Xu Jinhuan asked in confusion, "Send it to your relatives?"
Chi Damin nodded. "My wife and son live in Dawang Village on the outskirts of Beijing. I've done too many dirty deeds over the years, and this is probably the only way I can make it up to them."
I thought a lot last night. I guess people only truly understand things when they're about to die. I don't know how long I'll stay sober. Maybe as soon as I get the money, I'll go back to the gambling den.
So, please help me deliver the money to them, mother and child; that would put my mind at ease.
Xu Jinhuan saw in Chi Damin the epitome of many gamblers; when not gambling, he could perhaps still be called a human being.
But once they re-enter the gambling den, and become blinded by greed, they truly sell their children and wives, becoming worse than animals.
"I promise you, you'd better watch yourself."
Xu Jinhuan said all he could say, for you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.
After bowing respectfully, Chi Damin turned and left.
Xu Jinhuan went inside and gave the waiter some instructions.
At the same time, Xie Guangbai, who was squatting idly in the corner, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He turned his head and saw a handsome, dashing young man walking towards him, or rather, walking into the alley.
The young man was followed by a bodyguard dressed in black.
"Master, haven't we been free of any major missions lately? I'm so bored I could grow mushrooms in the corner. What's wrong with reading a storybook?"
Wuyou grumbled sullenly behind Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng looked at Xie Guangbai in the corner and found it extremely irritating.
He slowly clenched his fist, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Xie Guangbai. The energy surrounding this man was all Jin Huan's. What was his relationship with Jin Huan?
Once upon a time, only he had this privilege, but now others are having it too?
If it weren't for his reason telling him that this was the person Jin Huan was currently protecting, Zhou Ziheng could have directly sent the other person to their death.
While Zhou Ziheng was secretly jealous, Wuyou, oblivious to his feelings, continued to mutter to herself.
"Master, Master, why are you staring so intently at that corner? Could there be some treasure there?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai, who was in the corner, immediately hugged the bundle in his arms tightly. Could it be that his master's magic had failed?
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Ziheng glanced at the corner and said coldly, "It's nothing. I just thought there was some strange mark there."
Xie Guangbai then leaned against the wall in the corner and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ziheng looked at his behavior with disdain, secretly worried about Xu Jinhuan. If Jinhuan was surrounded by such useless people, how tiring it would be for her!
Wuyou, who was standing to the side, had no idea what her master was thinking and suddenly brought up the very thing she shouldn't have said.
"Master, now that the rain has stopped, is Miss Xu going to leave too? Does that mean you won't be able to see each other for a long time?"
These words were like a sword piercing Zhou Ziheng's heart. He coldly glanced at Wuyou and said, "I remember there's a long-term mission in the Northwest that no one wants to go. Since you're free, why don't you go?"
Upon hearing this, Wuyou's face fell. "Master, I misspoke. You and Miss Xu will definitely meet as soon as possible!"
Please think it over. The Northwest is a wild and undeveloped land; the stories and novels written there are things that were popular in the capital three or four years ago.
Zhou Ziheng raised his eyes and sneered, "Judging from your martial arts moves, you have indeed been somewhat lax these days. Go to the Northwest and train properly. We'll talk about the rest when you get back."
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Wuyou could only bitterly pat his mouth. Why did he have to be so foolish? Why did he have to bring up his master's troubles? He really deserved it!
"My storybooks, wait for me to come back!" Wuyou turned to look in the direction of the bookstore, reluctantly reaching out her hand.
Zhou Ziheng glanced at Xie Guangbai in the corner one last time before turning and leaving.
"Hey, Master, wait for me!" After saying goodbye to the bookstore, Wuyou turned around and saw Zhou Ziheng leaving, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
Meanwhile, Xie Guangbai, who was in the corner, patted his chest carefully and muttered something under his breath.
"Why do I keep feeling like that person can see me? But the person next to him looks silly, and their expression of not being able to see doesn't seem fake."
After explaining everything, Xu Jinhuan hurried towards Xie Guangbai's location.
Just then, Zhou Ziheng shook off Wuyou and walked this way alone.
Xu Jinhuan looked over subconsciously and saw a somewhat familiar face. How come this face looked exactly the same as that annoying zombie king?
How annoying! I can't believe I'm running into the same kind of person even in ancient times!
Xu Jinhuan immediately turned away in disgust and quickly walked towards Xie Guangbai.
Just as a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Ziheng's eyes, and he was thinking about how to greet Xu Jinhuan, he saw the look of disdain in her eyes.
He smiled helplessly, realizing he had been so excited he had lost his head. How could he have forgotten that in Jin Huan's eyes, this face now belonged to the Zombie King?
The fact that she only showed disdain was already a big concession; if it were the apocalypse, she probably would have taken direct action.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have created a new identity to stay by her side...
"Master, why are you running so fast? I couldn't catch up with you even using my lightness skill!" Wuyou hurriedly caught up with Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng looked in the direction Xu Jinhuan had left. What else could it be...?
