Chapter 172 Secret Joy
In fact, when You Bingyue was with Du Ziheng and others, she didn't really restrain her true nature.
She captured the hearts of many people with her domineering personality.
After all, there are plenty of gentle and kind women in this era, but few are as special as her.
However, while one may be domineering, one cannot be unreasonable.
Besides, even when she was domineering towards them, she didn't infringe on their interests. At most, she was just a bit harsh in her words, but she still gave them the benefits they deserved.
Now you demand credit from others the moment you open your mouth?
Liu Feiyang's eyes were strange: "Miss You, isn't this a bit much? If it weren't for Doctor Yu, we would all be dead here. This credit should belong to her."
Du Ziheng frowned and agreed: "If it weren't for Zhiyi today, we would all be dead."
You Bingyue looked at me and them with a disappointed expression: "Have you forgotten what the mission I accepted was?"
Only then did everyone remember the bounty.
Li Changhuai clutched his aching chest, glanced at Yu Zhiyi with a hidden yet resentful look, and said coldly, "Miss You's task is to find out what happened in Caonan Village thirty years ago and to catch the murderer."
"His missions never included catching ghosts."
Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement: "Yes, although Cao Zhaodi is a vengeful ghost and has been entrenched in the village for years, she hasn't harmed anyone, and she wasn't the one who did what happened back then. So what does Bingyue's capture of Cao Yaozu, the murderer, have to do with the female ghost?"
Liu Feiyang was stunned: "You can play it like this?"
Li Changhuai tapped his palm with his folding fan, looking at Yu Zhiyi with a half-smile: "If I'm not mistaken, Doctor Yu has come here to get rid of the evil spirits in Chucaonan Village. In that case, your mission doesn't conflict with Miss You's mission. So Miss You taking Cao Yaozu away won't bother you."
"Besides, Miss You is ultimately going to send Cao Yaozu to the Dali Temple anyway. Even if your mission involves finding out the truth, it doesn't matter. Whether you find out the truth or Miss You finds out the truth, it's still the same thing, isn't it?"
"You've already stolen Miss You's sweetheart, so don't try to steal her mission too, okay?"
He then looked at Du Ziheng and said, "Brother Youlin, I know you're biased towards your beautiful wife now, but even if you have a new one, you can't forget about saving people. Don't forget, if it weren't for Miss You's chance encounter with Master Ouyang, we would have been killed by the illusions created by Cao Zhaodi as soon as we entered the village."
Du Ziheng originally wanted to say something, but after hearing this, he found it difficult to speak.
Yu Zhiyi glanced at him indifferently, then finally fixed her gaze on You Bingyue: "Are you sure you want to steal the credit?"
A fleeting glint of malice flashed in You Bingyue's eyes.
She deeply resented the phrase "stealing credit".
He didn't want to lose face in front of Yu Zhiyi.
But she really needs this credit.
To become a famous bounty hunter, she must have enough merit to make a name for herself. Only in this way can she go further in the future and be able to stand on equal footing with these high-ranking officials as a commoner.
Most importantly...
The thought that Yu Zhiyi had worked so hard to fight the ghosts for so long, only to have the credit fall on her head in the end, filled her with a secret joy.
As a former queen of the night, she is not only capable of reckless fighting; she can also play the role of a weak and manipulative woman.
Then her expression changed, and she revealed a distressed smile: "Doctor Yu, I know you are very capable, but I have already given Ziheng to you. I really don't want to give up this mission."
However, they never mentioned that this so-called task was actually completed by Yu Zhiyi alone.
Yu Zhiyi glanced at Ouyang Shuo and laughed, "Alright, then this credit is yours. I'll wait for you to bring Cao Yaozu over so we can close this case."
"This is quite an achievement, as it was a sensational case that remained unsolved for thirty years."
Her smile was very meaningful.
You Bingyue felt uncomfortable under her gaze, but she didn't think much of it.
She felt that Yu Zhiyi was just being sarcastic because she was unwilling to accept defeat.
But yin and yang are yin and yang, it won't cost me anything, so what's the harm in listening to them?
Once she has established herself with this achievement and goes further and further down the path of bounty hunter, rising in status, this woman will realize just how incredibly stupid she has been today!
A wise woman never gets caught up in temporary gossip or disputes.
"Then thank you very much, Physician Yu."
She smiled brightly, her eyes filled with genuine joy.
Can I not laugh?
This achievement not only concerned his reputation but also earned him one hundred taels of gold.
One hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver.
She's short of money right now, after all, she's cultivating a strong, independent woman persona.
How can a strong, independent woman constantly ask a man for money?
Thinking about it, she glanced at Yu Zhiyi with a hint of disdain.
Although this woman was dressed in gold and silver, it was obvious that everything she had came from Minister Yu and the Du family. How could she compare to an independent woman like her who had earned a huge fortune through her own efforts?
There's also Yi Luan Charity...
The thought that this woman might also be a time traveler, and that she had used Du Ziheng's money to set up a charity to enhance her image, infuriated her.
However, she doesn't want to reveal the truth yet.
We have to wait until we've fully secured the credit and the money before we can reveal the truth.
Then she'll tear off that fig leaf and see how that woman can still put on that aloof, otherworldly air!
With the matter settled, Yu Zhiyi didn't want to waste any more time here and prepared to head back to the capital.
Upon hearing this, Liu Feiyang was astonished: "Really? Aren't you tired?"
Even if you're not tired, your horse can't take it, right?
"Even a thoroughbred horse that is said to be able to travel a thousand miles a day needs to rest. If you make the horse run hundreds of miles today and then make it run again without letting it rest properly, it will probably die on the way to Shengjing."
Yu Zhiyi looked at this person with some curiosity.
Ever since this started, this person has been coming to her place to make his presence known, no matter what.
Isn't this person a die-hard fan of Yu Zhiyi?
But this has nothing to do with her.
She was too lazy to deal with these playboys, and even less interested in sowing discord between You Bingyue and her supporters, so she rode away without saying a word.
Her horse will certainly be fine.
Nourished by her spiritual energy, it would be fine even if it ran for another day and night.
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi was really going to travel in the dark overnight, You Bingyue became anxious.
This woman is too cunning. On the surface, she agreed not to steal credit from her, but as soon as she turned around, she wanted to be the first to return to the capital.
Why go back to Beijing?
Of course, it's time to go and make the most of the credit!
