Mu Lingxi stared at the back of her feet and said, "It's 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. We'll wait for Secretary Wang at the gate of the community to go together."
The next morning, Gu Huaiwei changed into a low-key black shirt dress, went to her garage, and drove the ice berry pink Panamera that Mu Lingxi had helped her pick out. She held the steering wheel with her hands, half-opened the window, revealing half of her profile.
On the way out of the villa, Gu Huaiwei always felt that everyone was looking at her.
A fashionable auntie walking her extravagant dog, a retired leader practicing Tai Chi, a handsome security guard at the door, and a young couple who were quarreling and smashing bags...all stopped what they were doing and stared at Gu Huaiwei when she drove by.
This made Gu Huaiwei feel uneasy.
"Lingxi, help me check if there is any dirt on my face?"
Mu Lingxi sat in the passenger seat, holding the sweet corn that had been steamed that morning in her hand. She gnawed on it like a hamster, while taking out a black mask from her pocket and placing it on Gu Huaiwei's legs.
"Huaiwei, how about... you just cover your face."
"Huh? Why?" Gu Huaiwei turned her head and saw Mu Lingxi chewing the corn happily. "Lingxi, can you break off some of the corn butt for me?"
"I've already chewed it."
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Lingxi broke off a small piece of corn that she hadn't bitten yet and stuffed it into Gu Huaiwei's mouth. Gu Huaiwei opened her mouth wide and took a bite of the juicy corn with a satisfied expression.
Mu Lingxi explained, "It's just an indescribable feeling. I feel like you've become very beautiful. Not like a drastic change after plastic surgery, but... your facial features haven't changed, but you can't take your eyes off them. Did you learn some kind of charm technique?"
"Is there?"
Gu Huaiwei glanced at the central rearview mirror above the cab. Apart from the fact that her skin was smoother than before, her eyes were brighter, and the red teardrop mole under her eyes was more vivid, there was no other change.
Could it be the work of those big fat bugs?
Recently, she has cultivated a lot of eye-catching insects and sunflowers, cooked them in fancy ways, and eaten a lot of them.
The most intuitive feeling after eating these insects is that you won’t get dark circles under your eyes when you work late at night, and your eyes won’t turn red and bloodshot when you lie in bed playing with your phone.
Gu Huaiwei runs back and forth between several branches, giving training speeches to employees. She gives several training sessions a day, but she doesn't suffer from back pain or sore throat, and she is in good health.
He Xueyi said that kind of insect is very nutritious.
So this is the way to make up for it.
It seems that in this alien dimension, in addition to taking magnetism to keep people young, there are some other good things that she needs to discover herself.
"Those bugs and flowers I ate earlier might have some beauty-enhancing properties. Why don't you try them and see if they work?"
Mu Lingxi's face froze instantly when she thought of the ugly fat fried worm. A yellow corn kernel was still stuck on the corner of her lips. She couldn't help swallowing and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Does that thing really work?"
Gu Huaiwei nodded. "It's useful. Didn't you say I've become more beautiful? When I used to walk behind my sister, I was a completely invisible person. Now I've changed a lot, right?"
Mu Lingxi immediately made up her mind. She clenched her pink fists and said, "Then I'll eat it, even if I have to poke it with chopsticks."
The effect of this thing is ten thousand times better than medical treatment.
But later, Mu Lingxi really went back to try the worm, and ended up with unbearable abdominal pain. The effect was not as good as the pumpkin soup with added magnetic value. Gu Huaiwei quickly sent Mu Lingxi to the hospital.
Looking at Mu Lingxi with a pale face, Gu Huaiwei didn't understand what was going on. She had tested the nutritional content of the eye-catching insects. Although there were slight toxins that could paralyze the nerves, the toxins would disappear after being heated at high temperatures.
What she fed Mu Lingxi was non-toxic eye-catching insects that had been fried at high temperature. Logically speaking, even if it was useless, it would not cause food poisoning.
But Mu Lingxi's body was completely intolerant. After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that she had eaten an unknown substance that her stomach could not absorb, causing food accumulation and severe indigestion.
Gu Huaiwei found other people to do the experiment.
He discovered that, except for himself, no human in the real world or alien dimension could eat this kind of insect directly.
Of course, this is all later.
At this time, Gu Huaiwei parked the car at the entrance of the community and waited for Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang wore a mask, covering his entire body tightly.
After she got in the car, the three of them headed to the prison.
There was still a light mist in the early morning, and the faint sunlight penetrated the two sycamore trees at the prison gate, casting spots of golden light.
The prison is located in a remote area on the outskirts of the city. They arrived early and there was no one at the gate except some family members who came to visit.
Under the guidance of the prison guard, Gu Huaiwei met the mastermind of the previous kidnapping case.
Different from what Gu Huaiwei had imagined, the brutal kidnapper who chopped off Jiang Xingyi's hand was actually just a teenager with a buzz cut. He looked no more than twenty years old, with a high nose bridge, a distinct jaw, a scar on his left eyebrow that cut off his eyebrow, and a defiant look in his eyes.
Mu Lingxi seemed a little nervous when she saw this person. She stuck close to Gu Huaiwei and held her arm.
After all, Mu Lingxi was the victim of that kidnapping case. She had witnessed the bloodthirsty look of this young man with her own eyes and was still frightened.
The boy's name is Qi Yuntian. According to the report from the private detective hired by Gu Huaiwei before, this person dropped out of school before finishing junior high school. He and a group of gangsters did some petty thefts, fighting, and telecommunications fraud. He was a frequent visitor to the police station. Later, he settled down for a while because of his family's illness. It is unknown what he did, and later, he directly caused the kidnapping case.
Qi Yuntian had handcuffs on his hands, his legs were spread wide apart, his body leaned back, and his unfriendly eyes swept back and forth between Gu Huaiwei and Mu Lingxi.
Then, he whistled frivolously and said with a smile, "I'm really flattered that three beautiful ladies came to see me."
Gu Huaiwei ignored him and asked Secretary Wang to identify the person first.
Mu Lingxi had said before that when she was with Gu Changge, she vaguely remembered that Qi Yuntian and Gu Changge had done business.
But Mu Lingxi didn't follow her sister very often and didn't have much contact with the core business, so she didn't remember it very clearly.
Secretary Wang is different. She was my sister’s confidant. If Qi Yuntian had really done business with my sister, she would definitely recognize him at a glance.
Secretary Wang raised the brim of her hat slightly. She looked at Qi Yuntian, and her brows furrowed tighter and tighter under the shadow of the hat.
"It's you. It turns out your real name is Qi Yuntian."
"Do you recognize me?" Qi Yuntian turned to Secretary Wang with a puzzled look on his face.
Secretary Wang covered her head and face, so he couldn't see her face and couldn't recognize who she was.
