Chapter Forty-Two: Doubt



[Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission. You are rewarded with 1000 hours of health. Your current health balance is 1679:24:13.]

call!

Having escaped death once again, Yu Wan was exhausted, and her body involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

It looked like she was about to... kiss him.

Tang Yue's eyes flickered.

"Click"

Suddenly, the sound of a camera taking pictures rang out.

Yu Wan turned her head and saw Meng Shen standing blankly in the entryway, holding his phone.

The atmosphere was silent.

After a moment, Meng Shen forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Would you believe me if I said I was taking a selfie?"

-

After hearing Yu Wan's fabricated explanation, a long silence fell over the room.

A moment later, Meng Shen patted his chest and said righteously, "Of course I believe you. You definitely didn't go to great lengths to buy a private jet just to send Tang Yue to Liaocheng. And you must have been feeling unwell and swayed a couple of times, not trying to kiss Tang Yue on purpose."

"..."

Yu Wan frowned. She meant that, but something just didn't sound right.

"I'm going to the restroom." Meng Shen made an excuse to go to the bathroom and slipped away. He closed the door, quickly sent the photos he had pretended to delete to Yu Jianguo, and wrote a long essay of a thousand words.

A reply came quickly.

Uncle Yu: Is Wanwan feeling unwell again?

[Meng Shen: It lasted less than half a minute; his complexion was indeed very bad. But after two or three minutes, it returned to normal.]

There was a minute of silence on the other end.

Uncle Yu: Have you and Wanwan visited any temples recently, and met any eminent monks?

[Meng Shen: Um... Uncle Yu, we have to believe in science!!!]

Uncle Yu: ...

[Uncle Yu: I'll talk to your dad. You go to Liaocheng with Wanwan, and whatever you do, make sure no strangers get close to her.]

Sitting on the toilet, Meng Shen propped his chin up, shook his leg, exuding a gangster-like aura, and muttered to himself: "The key is that his brother fights so fiercely, there's absolutely no need to worry."

Her fingers moved nimbly across the phone: 【Don't worry, I've got your back.】

-

Two hours later.

Yu Wan was already seated on the private jet, gazing out the window at the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappearing below the horizon, the twilight deepening, a truly magnificent sight.

Liaocheng, why... why that particular place?

"Yu Xiaowan." Meng Shen suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, his tone tinged with envy: "Tang Yue is really amazing. Even the captain came out to greet him personally."

Yu Wan composed herself and glanced at Tang Yue, just in time to hear the captain standing in front of him say with a smile, "...I hope Mr. Tang and your friends have a pleasant trip."

The captain bent slightly, his cautious posture as if he were still facing the Tang family helmsman who once held sway over Jiangcheng.

Yu Wan frowned with some suspicion, her slender white fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Although she bought the plane, she didn't have an employer-employee relationship with the captain. He was only helping out of friendship because of the seller, and in principle, he could have shown up or not. But the captain not only showed up, but also treated Tang Yue with extreme respect and courtesy, which inevitably made people wonder.

"System, is Tang Yue really bankrupt?"

"Of course!" Peace said with absolute certainty. "I've scanned all his accounts and real estate; they've all been frozen. The 1 billion yuan debt owed by the Tang Group is also true. Tang Yue is now practically penniless and homeless. Host, quickly use your money to save your pitiful and helpless nemesis!"

To prevent the system from issuing another task, Yu Wan quickly ended the contact.

[...] When Peace saw the message "Your friend has gone offline" on the screen, she was momentarily stunned.

The next second.

[Ahhh... how did the host find such a hidden function?]

I have a bad feeling.

Sensory integration is about to face an unprecedented crisis!

No, no, absolutely not!

The Mir spacecraft should quickly undergo a full system check and program corrections, making sure to hide all its functions.

Tang Yue turned his head and noticed the doubt in Yu Wan's eyes. He calmly explained, "President Liu specifically instructed the captain to take care of us."

"Didn't you say you didn't have many friends?" Yu Wan asked, half believing her.

Tang Yue's lips curled into a bitter smile: "You just spent so much money to solve his urgent problem..."

He paused deliberately, stopping at just the right moment.

The implication is that if it weren't for introducing such a big business deal, the other party probably wouldn't have been so polite.

Yu Wan looked at his forced smile, remained silent for a while, and finally let out a soft "Oh".

The two people opposite him were standing quite close. Tang Yue squinted, took out his phone, walked over, and asked, "Can you teach me how to play games?"

She lowered her eyes and glanced at Meng Shen with a faint, imperceptible look.

Meng Shen felt uneasy under his gaze and jumped up with a start, rubbing his head with one hand and muttering to himself, "I'm a little dizzy, I'll go to the back row and take a nap."

Before Yu Wan could react, Tang Yue had already sat down next to her. The man's tall figure was extremely imposing, but his tone was exceptionally gentle and sincere: "Your technique is so good, with your guidance I will definitely be able to get the hang of it quickly."

Yu Wan proudly raised her chin. Who wouldn't like to be praised in their area of ​​expertise? Gradually, the wariness in her heart was gradually dispelled by the background music of the game.

It was already past 9 p.m. when we checked into the hotel.
