If it weren't for the fact that the system had some other uses for her, she would never have come here specifically to find her.
She was almost certain that her system had fallen into Hong Baobao's hands.
However, when she asked Hong Baobao, no matter how she asked, Hong Baobao was always certain that she had never seen her system.
This made her very angry, because in her opinion, the reason why Hong Baobao refused to admit it was because Hong Baobao wanted to take over her system.
"Hong Baobao, I'm warning you, you'd better return my system to me as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing the woman's somewhat threatening words, Hong Baobao didn't feel anything at all; in fact, she even felt like laughing.
"I've already said, I've never even seen the system you're talking about." Hong Baobao's tone was now somewhat impatient.
She felt that this woman was simply mentally unstable. Her system had disappeared, yet she had come to her in front of her looking for it. She had no idea what she was thinking.
In short, Hong Baobao couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
Hong Baobao spoke with absolute certainty, which made even her previously unwavering conviction that it was Hong Baobao who had taken her system waver slightly.
Perhaps I really am mistaken.
After all, what Hong Baobao said should be true.
"Alright, since you say my system isn't with you, I'll believe you for now. But if one day I find out that my system is with you, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing the woman's harsh words, Hong Baobao couldn't help but roll her eyes. Did this woman think she was afraid of what she said?
Speaking of which, Hong Baobao has never been afraid of anyone.
Hong Baobao really didn't want to pay attention to this woman, but in order to get her to leave quickly, she agreed.
The woman then disappeared.
However, just a second before the woman disappeared, Hong Baobao glanced at her and noticed something was amiss.
She discovered that the woman had no shadow.
She didn't even have a shadow!
You know, whether it's a person or an animal, they all have shadows. Even Hong Baobao herself has a shadow.
Could it be the angle or the lighting that caused her not to see the shadow?
Thinking this, Hong Baobao got out of bed and went to the ground where the woman had been standing. She looked around and saw that she had a shadow.
Although she only saw the woman a second before she disappeared, she was absolutely certain that she hadn't misjudged her; the woman had absolutely no shadow.
Hong Baobao rubbed her chin, thinking carefully for a moment. She thought to herself that she could start from this angle and maybe find out who that person was.
Hong Baobao didn't dwell on the matter for too long. Now that the woman had left, she called out to Xiao Qian.
Just now, because that woman was there, she was afraid that the woman would see through something, so Hong Baobao didn't ask Xiao Qian earlier, but now she was going to ask Xiao Qian.
Actually, Xiao Qian noticed the woman the moment she appeared.
However, he didn't show himself; instead, he secretly listened to their conversation.
From this, Xiao Qian managed to glean several important pieces of information.
For example, that mysterious woman is Little Grey's owner; she came here specifically to find Little Grey.
While listening to her questioning Hong Baobao, he thought about returning Xiao Hui to her, but then he realized that the woman wasn't a good person, so he decided to keep Xiao Hui by his side to prevent her from doing bad things after she left.
Well, so if Little Grey insists on harming others, then he might as well harm himself instead.
Thinking this way, Xiao Qian felt that he was really great.
As Xiao Qian was indulging in his own self-admiration, he suddenly heard Hong Baobao calling him.
At that moment, his heart skipped a beat.
Why did Hong Baobao call him at this particular time of day? He felt that Hong Baobao must have something on her mind. Could it be related to that woman from earlier?
Right now, it's just a small amount of speculation. Since Hong Baobao called him, he naturally has to go out. He can't just hide and not see anyone, can he?
Soon, Xiao Qian started contacting Hong Baobao.
Hong Baobao didn't waste any words; she went straight to the point, asking Xiao Qian, "Is the system that woman mentioned with you?"
Hong Baobao knew nothing about that woman, so whenever she addressed her, she generally used the term "that woman."
"Baby, what are you talking about? What woman? And the system? I don't know anything about it," Xiao Qian said innocently, as if he really didn't know.
Xiao Qian felt that after spending so much time with Hong Baobao, even his acting had become somewhat similar to hers.
Just now, for example, he felt that he acted exceptionally well.
When Hong Baobao heard what Xiao Qian said, she couldn't help but twitch her lips and said, "Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise, take me to your house and I'll believe what you're saying."
Although what Xiao Qian said sounded quite plausible, Hong Baobao didn't believe it at all.
She trusted her intuition more; she had felt that Xiao Qian was a bit strange before, but she hadn't thought much about it at the time.
But now, she was certain that the system that woman had mentioned was definitely with Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian knew that Hong Baobao was not easy to fool, and sure enough, she was not.
Xiao Qian remained silent for a while, and Hong Baobao, who was getting a little impatient, urged her again.
This time, Xiao Qian told the truth, and indeed, the woman's system was with Xiao Qian.
“Tell me, how did that woman’s system end up with you?” Hong Baobao asked.
Basically, Xiao Qian had never been separated from her, but now, the system was being held by Xiao Qian. There must be something she didn't know about this, so Hong Baobao asked Xiao Qian to find out what was going on.
Xiao Qian checked it out himself, and since Hong Baobao wasn't angry at all, he was relieved and told Hong Baobao the truth about Xiao Hui.
