When Le Wu woke up the next day, it was already 10 a.m., and Ji Ye still hadn't brought her breakfast.
Hey, Yuewu feels like something's wrong with her; she's thinking about him first thing in the morning.
I took out a sandwich and yogurt from my spatial storage and started eating, but it just didn't taste like anything.
Because I have to go to the Xunyin Base today to deliver something someone entrusted to me, and I also want to take the opportunity to see this place that is comparable in size to a military base.
Just as they were setting off, Yuewu noticed a little boy lying on the ground at the corner of the exchange hall entrance, being scolded by several adults.
Yue Wu didn't want to get involved, but when the boy looked up, she recognized him as Yuan Chen.
The person who was extremely close to Mo Xiaole in her previous life was killed by Mo An because she discovered and reminded him to be careful of Mo An.
Yuewu took a deep breath and immediately turned and walked towards the corner.
She quickly reached someone's side, grabbed the hand that was about to strike Yuan Chen, and with a judo throw, sent the person flying. Similarly, several others nearby were either kicked away or had their arms broken; those who uttered foul language received several large pens as punishment.
Yuan Chen looked at Yue Wu with admiration, his eyes sparkling with gratitude.
Yue Wu said rudely to the group, "Get out of here!"
Those people were bullying others by taking advantage of their power; when they realized they couldn't win, they immediately fled.
Turning her gaze back to Yuan Chen, she noticed that he was even thinner than Mo Xiaole remembered. She wondered how he had managed to get through all these days.
Yuewu walked over and carefully asked him, "Can you still stand up?"
Yuan Chen grinned, showing off her white teeth. "I'm fine, sister. Thank you for helping me."
Looking into his determined eyes, Yuewu felt even more distressed and wanted to find out more about his situation first.
"What's going on? Why are they bullying people?"
Yuan Chen looked up at Yue Wu and replied, "I just arrived at this base today. I wanted to come to the exchange hall to see if I could exchange for some food, but I didn't expect to be targeted by them. They wanted to steal my things, but all I had was a stone. I felt it was very special, but they thought I was deliberately messing with them and threw my stone away. I argued with them, and they ganged up on me to bully me."
The little guy's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he said indignantly, "If it were just one or two people, it's hard to say who would beat whom."
Le Wu suddenly felt like laughing. This was the Yuan Chen that Mo Xiao Le remembered; deep down, he was also a little wolf cub.
Patting him on the shoulder, Yue Wu suddenly remembered that the little guy had just said "stone". If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, Yuan Chen gave Mo Xiaole a meteorite because Mo Xiaole saved his grandfather.
So... Yuewu immediately turned around and looked around, and then, right next to the tree roots in the distance, lay a stone that emitted a fluorescent glow.
No wonder I was looking this way involuntarily at first; it turns out I was attracted by the meteorite fragments.
Yue Wu immediately stepped forward, and just as she was about to pick it up, a voice rang out from afar.
"Stop! Don't touch that rock!" Mo An rushed over, his eyes blazing with desire.
Without hesitation, Yue Wu put the meteorite into her spatial storage, then walked back to Yuan Chen's side and patted the dust off his clothes. "I'm taking the stone. Consider it something I owe you. I'll make it up to you later, okay?"
Yuan Chen smiled and said, "Give this to your sister as a thank you gift for saving me."
Yue Wu couldn't help but touch his head and continue to ask him, "Do you want to come with me? I'm afraid those people might harm you."
Yuan Chen thought for a moment, "I'd better not leave yet, I still have things to do, but thank you anyway, sister."
"Okay, if you need anything, come find me in room 407 of Zone 2."
"OK."
Just as they finished giving instructions, Mo An arrived. "Hand over the stone!"
Le Wu looked at Le Wu with disdain: "Who do you think you are? Why should I give you my things?"
"It was originally mine, but I accidentally dropped it there. Shouldn't you return it to me if you find it?" Mo An said matter-of-factly, his voice becoming much louder.
The argument quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Le Wu wasn't in the mood to waste time with her. "Fine, as long as you can describe what the thing I found looks like, I'll give it back to you."
Mo An smiled smugly: "It's a stone, but it's very important to me."
“You say it’s a rock, but there are many rocks. You need to give a specific one, otherwise how can we identify it?”
When the crowd heard about the stone, they thought Mo An was being unreasonable. In the apocalypse, even if a stone could yield imperial green jade, it wouldn't be worth anything. It was ridiculous that they would argue over a stone!
Mo An naturally heard everyone's complaints, but she couldn't reveal the secret of the stone, which made her extremely angry.
She was still in bed, getting her beauty sleep, when she felt the stone's call and rushed over immediately, but she was still a step too late.
Now she doesn't know what to do, and she finds that whenever she is involved in music and dance, she feels uncomfortable. Moreover, everything has been going wrong lately, and she can't even absorb any luck. She's so annoyed.
Seeing that she remained silent, Yuewu deliberately stirred up trouble, saying, "If I remember correctly, your people hurt someone's sister before. Did you apologize?"
Mo An's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected Le Wu to bring up this matter so suddenly, as the impact had finally been somewhat suppressed.
And now, the surrounding chatter is rising: "That's right, she hasn't apologized to that girl's brother yet, the girl died so tragically."
"That's right, he only arrived for a day and was killed by someone's jealousy. How pitiful."
"I also think that Mo An is just jealous that the girl is prettier than her. That woman is really heartless."
"A heart of a snake and a scorpion, that's exactly what they mean. Don't be fooled by how nice they seem on the surface, behind the scenes... tsk tsk tsk."
Mo An roared, "Enough! What nonsense are you spouting?"
"What's the agitation? You were also covered in powder back then, that's a fact. We've already been lenient enough by just asking you to express your apology. What else do you have to hide? Were all your previous understanding just an act? You're absolutely right about being a snake at heart."
"Exactly! You had powder stuck in your hair too, so maybe you're the murderer too. After all, you can't prove your alibi," a woman shouted angrily.
Then more and more people started targeting Mo An, even surrounding her, especially some women whose husbands had often compared her to her, and now this was a good opportunity to join everyone in condemning her.
Yue Wu was very satisfied to see the plot developing as she had envisioned.
Mo An, don't you always think you're popular and can easily influence public opinion? Since you're so good at creating a persona, today I'll let you collapse properly.
