Yu Zihan was left alone, her heart beating rapidly and her body trembling slightly with nervousness. She knew she had to act quickly, otherwise she might lose her freedom forever. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then slipped into the space.
There were many items in the space that could be exchanged, but what she needed most right now was something to clean herself. She browsed the exchange list and found bathing supplies, including warm water, a bathtub, and bath products. She exchanged these items without hesitation and began her bath.
The warm water enveloped her body, making her feel relaxed and comfortable. She gently stroked her skin, feeling an unprecedented sense of freshness and cleanliness. She knew she had to quickly wash away the bad luck and misfortune that had plagued her for the past few days and regain her strength and courage.
After showering, Yu Zihan began planning her next move in Hong Kong. She knew she had to find a way to escape quickly, or she might be trapped here forever. Recalling her journey from disembarking here, she realized Yu Haoting hadn't appeared. She wasn't sure if the "Shui Ge" they were talking about was actually Yu Haoting.
In this unfamiliar environment, she couldn't afford to be afraid or frightened; such fear wouldn't help her escape. She was like a fish on the chopping block; dangers like the one just now could strike at any time. She might be lucky enough to escape once, but she couldn't avoid them ten or a hundred times. But she knew she was in Hong Kong's most famous gambling market, and she heard they were talking about a gambling market tomorrow. So, she might as well take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
Yu Zihan was determined to seize this opportunity and escape from this strange place. She knew this might be her only chance; if she missed it, she might never escape again. Lying on her bed in the space, she pondered her plan for tomorrow. How could she find a chance to escape from the gambling stone trade?
"Let's take it one step at a time. Just see who I can meet tomorrow." Yu Zihan was too tired these days, so he fell asleep in a daze.
That morning, she quickly put on her tattered clothes and lay down in the wooden box. She didn't want to alert the enemy. Those people would bring her food, and if they found she was not there, they would definitely look for her immediately. Now, she was unfamiliar with the place and had no identity, so it would be easy for them to catch her.
When Yu Zihan returned to the wooden box, the smell inside, after a night of fermentation, was already ten times more foul than the day before. The box was much more spacious without the stones, but it was sealed shut, and the smell made Yu Zihan hold her breath. It was so strong that anyone standing outside the box could smell it.
Just when Zi Han could no longer bear it, the little brother from yesterday opened the wooden box a little, threw bread and water into the box, and quickly closed the lid. They didn't even want to take a second look at the person in the box, for fear that they would be contaminated by the stench in the box if they stayed there for too long.
"It stinks so bad, it's going to kill me." The little brother left cursing.
Yu Zihan had no choice but to stay in the wooden box obediently because people began to carry sacks of stones out of the warehouse.
This busyness lasted for about an hour. Yu Zihan heard the warehouse door slam shut, followed by the sound of it being locked from the outside. Yu Zihan sensed a quietude outside. Using the lockpicking tools she'd exchanged from the space, she easily unlocked the wooden box, then disguised herself and locked it again.
After finishing all this, she returned to the space and quickly cleaned herself. She had been in that stinking wooden box for less than two hours, and her body was already stained with that odor. After cleaning, Yu Zihan's eyes rolled and she began to apply makeup. After applying makeup, Yu Zihan's appearance changed significantly. The eyebrows and eyes that resembled her father were now obscured, and her resemblance to Yu Meijuan was actually much stronger.
Yu Zihan carefully selected a dress suitable for this occasion. The color and style of this dress are very elegant, which can perfectly show her temperament. She also wore a hat with a gauze curtain. The gauze curtain on the hat fluttered gently with her movements, adding a mysterious beauty to her.
She stood before the mirror, carefully examining herself. The image of her in the mirror had swept away the previous dishevel and fatigue, replaced by the image of a graceful and elegant young lady. Her eyes were filled with confidence and determination; she knew she was ready to face the outside world.
After exiting the space, Yu Zihan used the same method to leave the warehouse. She made her way to the bustling trading hall, where people busily traded various gemstones and jade. Her attire drew no attention. Today was a trading day, and many wealthy tycoons interested in gambling on gemstones would be visiting with their wives and children. Yu Zihan knew that the eyes hidden behind the gauze curtains were astutely observing the people passing by.
She walked into the trading hall, which was bustling with people. She had been to the gambling stone market before, and she felt that the scale of the gambling stone market in front of her was indeed much smaller than what she had seen before.
People were busy selecting the raw materials they liked, and some shops had even begun cutting them in front of them. They watched the cutters' knives with curiosity and greed. The atmosphere was tense. Yu Zihan didn't join in the tension. She browsed along, her RNG space observing, determined to select a truly exceptional piece.
Following the guidance of the space, she walked to a stall and carefully examined a piece of raw material. The skin of this piece of raw material was very rough and covered with moss. No one would think it was worth buying. The owner saw the raw material in her hand and felt that there was no profit, so he did not show much enthusiasm.
She carefully examined the piece of wool. A gentlemanly middle-aged man was secretly observing Yu Zihan.
When he saw that Yu Zihan was very interested in the raw material in her hand, he walked up to her and said, "Miss, why are you interested in such waste material?" Although his voice had a Hong Kong accent, Yu Zihan was very sensitive to the imperial accent in it.
Yu Zihan couldn't help but observe the person who was speaking carefully. When she saw the person's face, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be such a coincidence? She couldn't help but ask herself.
Seeing her lost in thought, the man spoke again: "Miss, can you please have a word with me for a moment?" The man extended an invitation to Zi Han.
Yu Zihan came back to his senses and nodded ignorantly.
Follow the man into an office.
There was no one in the office, and Yu Zihan couldn't help but become alert.
"Haha, miss, don't be nervous. I'm the boss here and my surname is Yu. I just want to know why you are interested in this piece of scrap." The man handed Yu Zihan a bottle of mineral water.
Hearing that his last name was Yu, Yu Zihan's guess was mostly confirmed.
She wanted to see what kind of character this man had, so as not to rashly acknowledge him as her relative and end up in a situation where she had just escaped from a wolf's den and walked right into a tiger's den.
