Chapter 39 Chapter 39 In other words, why doesn’t the President…
July 21st, yes, it’s the 21st again.
As usual, I came to the square to enjoy the lively dance and act as a caring big sister to help the young people solve their problems.
The square covers a large area, with numerous green areas and artistic sculptures. There is also a huge artificial lake in the distance, and further away is a pet park.
The exquisite Tianlong people walked by with cats, dogs and other small animals, while the bodyguards drove those who were not up to the standard to the periphery.
"You! Get to the other side!" The tall bodyguard in black stopped me from looking inside.
I immediately shrunk my neck and looked away honestly, "Sorry, sir, I just left something there."
"Whatever it is, get out of here!"
I rubbed my sleeves, looked at him helplessly, and said anxiously, "That's a very important thing. I need it tonight. That, that's me..."
My face flushed slightly as I spoke, "That's a once-in-a-lifetime decision."
The bodyguard remained unmoved. Seeing him motionless, I gently pushed him and asked, "Sir, can you help me?"
"Get away from me!" The bodyguard was unwilling to pay any attention to my request.
No, this is not giving me face?
Do you really want me to pay?
I feigned indignation. "I just want to get my things back. They're very important to me! And who are you to stop me? You should explain my situation to your employer!"
The bodyguard was furious and raised his hands to assault me.
But just before his fist landed, a voice from not far away stopped him.
"It's so annoying. You guys are too noisy."
The bodyguard stopped and groveled before the Celestial Dragon. "Sorry, young master, it was this person who had ill intentions."
The bodyguard carried me in front of the young master with one hand and threw me to the ground in a mess.
"I have no bad intentions!" I got up from the ground and met the young master's light golden eyes. "I just left something very important behind, and I must use it tonight!"
The young master looked me up and down, a hint of interest appearing on his overly innocent and somewhat foolish face. "What is it?"
I was stunned at first, then quickly lowered my head, revealing a slightly flushed face, and stuttered, "Yes, something to prepare for the future."
Don't worry about it, it's important anyway.
That’s a hundred bucks! Remember, the internship salary hasn’t been paid yet!
A hundred yuan is still money. I'm easily tempted by money. I love money so much that I'd be happy even if I could earn thirty million yuan a month.
The young master blinked, then covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes shining. "Is that the kind you use for proposing? Haha, that's really interesting. So people like you can also fall in love?"
As soon as these words were spoken, I felt like something in my brain was messed up by this idiot.
So in your opinion, we little calves have no spiritual needs other than tightening screws, right?
Forget it, I can't help it if you think this way. After all, it's up to you to decide whether to love or not. I'm only responsible for providing emotional value.
So I remained shy and twirled my sleeves.
"Are you shy? Hahaha, very interesting. Where is that thing? I'll ask others to get it to you." The young master giggled, his light golden eyes were like a butterfly constantly scattering powder.
I gave my location and a short while later gratefully accepted the box from the bouncer.
After confirming that it looked exactly the same as in the photo, I put the thing away and put it in my pocket.
This action made the young master more certain that the thing was used for proposing marriage, so he asked me for more details with greater interest.
"Do you kiss, too? Like the protagonists in the movies? Do you betas really have feelings? How can you confirm compatibility without pheromones?"
We don't kiss, we eat our lips.
"Oh my God, how do you live if you can only eat rice balls for a meal? Don't you know how to watch the opera? Don't you know how to go fishing on a boat?"
Instead of eating rice balls, we drank dew when we were thirsty and ate grasshoppers when we were hungry. We also sat on the garbage dump and counted family planning supplies.
"I can't believe it. How did you prove you loved each other without kissing on the plane?"
Without love, we simply hate.
Under my butt was an expensive silk carpet, and next to me was the chattering young Omega master.
He talks a lot and has no sense of knowing when to stop. He just keeps spouting mindless nonsense.
She is full of fantasies about love, but only about the love with Celestial Dragons.
I used to think that Kirsty was very simple, but now I know how the people in Ascent City educate Omegas.
I don't even need to think, just say some seemingly sincere but actually useless nonsense to make him happy.
"By the way, who is the person you want to propose to?" the young man suddenly asked.
My mind suddenly returned to its empty state and I was thinking quickly about what to say.
Emm, what do those people have in common? The characters are all here, I can't just talk about it casually, right?
"He... is a very good person." I began to formulate. "He's different from everyone else. He gives me a melancholic, unique feeling, seemingly standing among the crowd but actually separated from them. But he's gentle, upright, and very good. And his uniqueness is related only to his soul, and has nothing to do with his gender identity or family status."
The young master exclaimed and leaned towards me, and the light scent of perfume began to surround my nose.
He said with excitement, his cheeks flushed, "I've read something similar in a novel! You're so interesting, you must love him very much!"
Considering the bodyguards watching, I distanced myself from him politely while straightening the silk carpet underneath. "Right?"
"But I'm not sure if we can succeed... the gap between us is too big." Bitterness appeared on the corner of my mouth. "I'm sorry to make you hear my nagging."
The young master waved his hands nonchalantly and even wanted to stand up.
But he didn't see clearly under his feet. The already fragile silk carpet couldn't withstand his tossing and turning, and it cracked, and he fell into the artificial lake!
"Splash——" What a big splash!
Hey! Finally shut up! If you ask me again, I'll have to spill all three of my secrets.
I can deceive those who claim to be smart using the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period, but to fool stupid people I can only use pure physical methods.
A loud noise was heard immediately after a living person was suddenly thrown into the artificial lake. The bodyguards standing outside reacted and ran over to rescue the person.
But unfortunately, while I’m here, none of you stand a chance!
I quickly took off my coat and jumped into the lake to swim towards the struggling young master who was begging for help.
However, the young master's stupidity manifested itself in all aspects. Not only did he not know how to ask for help after falling into the water, he also liked to kick around after catching someone.
I was so angry that I punched him under the water, which successfully made him let go, and then I dragged him to the shore.
Almost as soon as he got ashore, the young master slapped him in anger.
"How dare you hit me!" He screamed louder than a rooster. "I'm going to have Mom put you in jail! I'm going to sentence you to death!"
I took a slap from him but ignored him. Instead, I reached into my pocket and found it empty. "I don't have anything left."
The young master was humiliated and reached out to pull me up with an ugly look on his face. "Did you hear me? I want you to go to jail! How dare you hit me!"
I pursed my lips and looked at him with a pale face, "The thing I used to propose to you was lost when you were struggling just now."
The young master, who was originally angry, was stunned for a moment, and then he felt guilty for a moment. "What does this have to do with you hitting me?"
Of course it doesn't matter. But I have to throw things away after I'm done with them, and since I can't just throw them away openly, I have to find someone to take them.
And you, my little idiot, you are just fine.
But I definitely won't tell you. Not only that, I'll make you take the blame. Just take it, you little idiot.
So I gathered my emotions, my eyes reddening, and said, "I wanted to get it back, but you were struggling so hard that I accidentally hit you. I apologize for this, and I really didn't do a good job."
"That's your fault!" The young master's guilty conscience only lasted for three seconds before he quickly regained his composure and said, "You should apologize to me!"
I looked at him quietly, then lowered my head in self-mockery. "Yes, you're not wrong. It's my fault. You just accidentally fell into the lake. Even if I didn't save you, your bodyguards would have. Everything was done on my own will. Even if I lost something, I can't blame you."
I picked up my coat and was about to put it back on, but when I saw his skin peeking through the fabric, I put my coat on him like a gentleman.
He was slightly stunned and struggled to push his wet hair away.
"I thought you were different." I said in a dejected voice that only he could hear.
Then I turned and left, and my back looked as sad as it could be.
Now let’s go back to three days later, which was the afternoon of the 24th. This Celestial Dragon police officer tried to cheat me.
Can I admit it? I definitely can't! How can I admit something that doesn't exist?
So I stared at Horry with my eyes wide open in disbelief, "Horry! I didn't do anything!"
Horry smiled brightly, "What evidence do you have to prove that you didn't do anything?"
I'm shocked. After listening to these shameless remarks, I admit that the means and morals of a low-level person like me are still too high.
Before, I thought that to slander someone, I at least had to commit perjury. Now I know that I can just say whatever I want, even if there's no evidence to prove it.
So can I now say something like, "The president is actually my mother, and she will give up the presidency to me in the near future," and then I can sit back and wait for the presidency to descend upon my mind...
Hiss, what if! The president didn’t say she didn’t give birth to a child, and no one said my mother really died in a no-man’s land!
Okay, stop fantasizing. What we need to do now is to deal with this blond-haired, blue-eyed ditch in front of us.
"Doesn't the law follow the principle of presumption of innocence? Besides, I didn't do anything, so I don't need to prove myself!" I stiffened my neck and tried to express my anger, making myself look like a blockhead who had finally read some education but still had to be bullied.
"Wow!" Horry barked in surprise and began clapping again. "You're actually learning."
"I said I would study hard for the test!"
"What a shame." Horry moved closer to my face, a hint of malice etched in his smile. "It's no use now."
I stared at him for a long time and finally gave in.
"I understand." I said dejectedly, "I will prove my innocence to you."
As for how to prove it, I haven’t figured it out yet. We’ll make specific arrangements based on the specific circumstances.
Since the interrogation process was omitted, Horry directly put me into the police car and said he would take me back to the court.
I don't understand this guy's train of thought, but I'd love to ride in a four-wheeled vehicle.
Well, it's puzzling how a suspect could be out and about freely, but since Horry won't tell me, I'll pretend I don't know. I'm just an intern who knows nothing, so anything that goes wrong is his fault.
After returning to the court, I spent a peaceful afternoon, got off work on time, and returned to the luxury apartment with a pile of documents.
Not long after, Levin came back with a cold expression, also holding various documents in his hands.
I ignored him and continued flipping through the book.
"It's useless."
I turned my face away.
Levin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my collar, carefully observing my expression, and sneered, “I thought Olvera had looked for you, but looking at your expression, she didn’t.”
I looked up, "What happened to Olvera?"
Levin threw me back into my seat. "He escaped and took the money in the safe."
"Oh, even though those are just small losses and funny, he and I haven't divorced yet. He's really bringing shame to the Scott family!"
I said nothing and lowered my head to tidy up the messed up documents.
Levin frowned at my excessive silence and pulled me back to face him. "Useless!"
I pushed his hand away and said, "Levin, there's no point in talking to me about this."
"What?"
I stood up and looked him straight in the eye. "What do you mean by telling me this? Are you saying that Olvera will find me and run away from Ascendant City with me?"
"Or do you want to see any expression on my face that shows he's moved me?"
Levin's facial muscles were obviously stiff, and he clenched his teeth and stared at me. "Are you angry? What right do you have to be angry?"
But his words ignited all the pent-up emotions I had been experiencing for a while, and I was on the verge of collapse, yelling at him, "Why can't I be angry?"
"I'm a human being! I have my own emotions and my own thoughts. Why can't I be angry?"
Levin was momentarily startled by my roar, and then he was also furious. "I will take you away from the slums! I will put you in court! Without me, you, a low-class bastard, will only die in the slums!"
"I'm a low-class bastard, so what are you? You slept with me, you made me your secret lover, you made me live under your control without any dignity! Even when I was suspected of being a rebel, the first thing you did was to push me out!"
I grabbed my hair in despair and threw the elastic band on the ground. "Levin Scott, what do you want from me? What do you want from me?"
"As you wish, I no longer love Olvera! As you wish, I no longer have any illusions about you! But you want to deprive me of even my human emotions. How far will you go to satisfy me?"
After I finished speaking, I ignored his pale face and walked straight to the bookshelf. After searching for a while, I took out the old-fashioned pistol and pointed it at my temples.
"I've had enough of you!" My voice trembled, my back hunched. "I'd rather commit suicide than be branded a traitor and put on the execution platform!"
After leaving my last words, I pulled the trigger.
Levin rushed over almost in terror, grabbed the pistol and threw it out of the window!
Hehehe, it’s fake. I know there is no bullet in it, I just want to trick you.
The man who was pestering me was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead and his wrists trembling.
It was as if the person who had just experienced life and death was him, not me.
He climbed onto my waist and slid down little by little, leaving only his hand holding my wrist still raised high, as if holding up something.
And I just let him slide down, watching him coldly as he buried his face in my arms.
He had knocked off his gold-rimmed glasses during the argument just now, and the shattered lenses couldn't hide his emotions.
"Levin, let's calm down." I said in a weak voice.
He didn't move, still buried in my arms.
I reached out to push him away, but failed.
The person in my arms slowly raised his pale face and looked up at me.
Then he bit open the buttons of my shirt and unbuttoned them one by one.
One of the few lovable things about Levin is probably his escapist mentality.
He doesn't try to solve problems, he just avoids them. That's great, but it would be a problem if he realized I was the one who created the problem.
As a newbie, I'm not very good at competing with smart people at this stage, so I can only drag you into the field where I'm good at to deal with you.
After getting the person to fall asleep, I rubbed my arms and went back to the study.
The message light on the communicator was still flashing, so I clicked it and took a quick look.
The military zone in the north was in turmoil, and fighting was going on with the rebels.
I clicked on one of the photos and confirmed that the rebel party belonged to the Aung Sa organization.
The Angsa organization has enough personnel, so there's no harm in throwing a few cannon fodder into the front lines. But I'm curious about what the Angsa organization did to make these people rush forward without hesitation.
I skipped it and browsed to the next one.
Someone maliciously released inducers at a new urban talent recruitment site, causing significant economic losses and overloading nearby hospitals.
Article 3. The history of the construction of slums and no-man’s land.
This piece of news only appeared on various social media platforms for a few seconds, and clicking on it would display a webpage error.
They did it.
This was just their first attempt. All major media outlets were focused on the war in the north, and no one paid attention to this news item that disappeared within a few seconds.
I now understand why they set up their headquarters in the Keya District.
I took a long breath and put down the communicator.
As I walked back into the living room, I heard some small noises coming from the door.
Thief? That's interesting, he could steal here.
So I walked over with my hands rubbed, ready to surprise this lock-picking expert by opening the door alone.
Soon the door quietly opened and I saw Olvera's face.
No, buddy, didn't you run away? What are you doing here?

The author has something to say: Although the little idiot is stupid, he is very helpful to the heroine's career in the later stage [thumbs up]
