Yu drove at breakneck speed back to the city that evening.
After walking for about ten minutes, a "death warning" suddenly popped into my head.
Zi—
The tires slipped and screeched against the ground, startling her so much that she jerked the steering wheel and brought the car to a stop just before the guardrail.
call!
Her breathing became erratic for a moment, and Yu Wan let go of his hand with lingering fear, her palms covered in sticky sweat.
After a moment of silence, the Peacecraft said matter-of-factly: [Host, you were speeding. Obeying traffic rules is everyone's responsibility.]
Yu Wan clenched her fists, the veins on the back of her hands throbbing: "The speed limit on the highway is 120, and I was only driving at 110 mph, and you're saying I'm speeding?"
【！！！】
Oh no, I've been playing games for too long and it's caused some system malfunctions. I absolutely cannot let the host know about this.
[Death Warning: With only 10 minutes of health remaining, please complete the mission as soon as possible.] With this reminder, the Peacecraft hastily logged off.
"..."
Thinking about the mission, Yu Wan felt a fire burning inside her.
Why buy a watch from Tang Yue?
and……
It just so happened that I heard that gossip.
Who would have thought that one day she would become a substitute for that innocent white lotus? It's so absurd and ironic!
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The loud, arrogant engine sounds abruptly ceased behind them. Meng Shen and the others rushed over in alarm, only to breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing Yu Wan unharmed inside the car. Thank goodness she was alright, otherwise they would all have been in serious trouble.
Yu Wan was sitting in the passenger seat, scrolling through her phone, her brows furrowed, as if she were contemplating some important life decision.
Meng Shen patted his chest with lingering fear and asked worriedly, "Yu Xiaowan, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Yu Wan shook her head, then nodded, her brows furrowing even more. Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in her eyes as she turned her head, as if struck by a sudden thought: "Have you ever bought a watch?"
Meng Shen looked bewildered: "Huh?"
-
One minute later.
Even after dialing Tang Yue's number, Meng Shen's head was still spinning, and he felt unreal.
He felt like he had discovered his best friend's secret.
Last time, she spent millions to order a suit for Tang Yue, and this time she actually spent tens of millions to buy him a watch, and almost got into a car accident because of it.
Could it be...?
Yu Wan is pursuing Tang Yue!
Meng Shen stared wide-eyed and took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions.
Just then, a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello?"
His voice was rich, deep, and magnetic, indescribably pleasant to the ear.
Depend on……
Meng Shen's heart skipped a beat. Tang Yue was truly the ultimate god among gods. No wonder Yu Xiaowan, who was always a playboy but also virtuous and extremely picky, fell for him.
"Hello?" After a long silence, the other end seemed about to hang up.
Meng Shen quickly spoke up: "It's me, Meng Shen. We just met at WW2."
Tang Yue asked, "Is something the matter?"
Meng Shen looked at Yu Wan, who gave him a thumbs-up and said with a long face, "I want to buy that watch you posted on your WeChat Moments. Name your price?"
Tang Yue: "Why?"
Meng Shen casually made up a story: "My dad's birthday is coming up soon, so I bought it for him as a birthday present."
Tang Yue asked suspiciously, "Are you sure... you want to buy a watch that a bankrupt CEO once wore as a gift?"
"..."
"Thirty million." Meng Shen quoted a price: "It was worth 2.6 million US dollars back then. I'll buy it from you for thirty million. You won't lose out."
The background noise was a bit loud, and a familiar female voice could be faintly heard mentioning words like "increase the price" and "hurry up." Sure enough, the next second, Meng Shen added, "If you're not satisfied with the price, just name a number?"
Tang Yue hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said something surprising: "Yu Wan asked you to buy a watch from me?"
"!!!"
Hearing the other person's breathing suddenly become heavier, Tang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to her."
"..."
The next second.
"!!!"
Meng Shen was shocked. He actually heard Tang Yue laugh. This was too unbelievable!
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Yu Wan looked over warily, her eyes half-closed. For some reason, she seemed to have a bad feeling, a woman's sixth sense.
Meng Shen shuddered, gave an awkward laugh, and had to lower his voice: "That's not what I said, I don't know anything about it."
Tang Yue gave a soft "hmm" and said slowly, "Thirty million, transfer it to my account."
Meng Shen quickly gave Yu Wan an "OK" sign. His phone vibrated, and he opened the text message. It contained the bank account number sent by Tang Yue. He copied the number and skillfully opened Alipay to start the transfer.
Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that things had gone smoothly.
Just then, the voice of the Peace ship echoed in his mind once more: [Death Warning: When the host has only 5 minutes of health remaining, he will fall into a coma.]
"..."
"Ugh..." A dull pain suddenly shot through her heart, and Yu Wan couldn't help but groan. In an instant, all her organs rapidly failed, and she breathed heavily, feeling as if something was pulling her soul into a chaotic abyss, and her vision was instantly plunged into darkness.
"Sister Yu, what's wrong?"
"Call an ambulance immediately."
"Brother Shen, something's happened! Sister Yu has fainted."
Meng Shen had just filled in the verification code and clicked to confirm the transfer when he suddenly heard this sentence. His expression changed drastically, and he rushed over in fright.
Yu Wan's face was as pale as snow, and she leaned motionless against the driver's seat. Her brows were furrowed, as if she were enduring immense pain.
