Chapter 56 I won't use my knife unless someone provokes me.
Yan Nuo woke up with a hangover the next day at noon.
He glanced around at the unfamiliar surroundings and guessed that he was in a budget hotel.
Yan Nuo's first reaction was to immediately pick up her phone and check her WeChat.
"..."
After a brief moment of feeling that the plot seemed familiar, Yan Nuo put the slight incongruity out of her mind.
He nervously tapped Fang Ke's profile picture and tentatively sent her a WeChat message. Seeing that it was sent successfully instantly, he finally jumped up and rolled around on the bed, exclaiming, "YES!!"
After rolling around in the air, Yan Nuo lay sprawled on the bed, feeling incredibly strange. A continuous stream of joy welled up from every part of his body, something he had never experienced in his previous 23 years of life.
If there were a second person in the room, they would definitely think Yan Nuo was laughing like a fool.
bite!
A new message arrived on WeChat.
He quickly opened it, thinking it was a reply from Fang Ke, but it wasn't.
Noah: [Image]
[Noah]: I thought this scene was quite beautiful yesterday, so I took a picture. /Grin
Yan Nuo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the photo. The moment he saw the clear photo, he was stunned.
That was last night at the barbecue stand, where Fang Ke sat next to him.
Yan Nuo did get drunk later and didn't remember leaning on Fang Ke.
But in the photo, his face was flushed, and his head was heavily leaning against Fang Ke.
Fang Ke didn't push him away, but her face showed a bit of impatience. She propped her chin up with one hand and looked in a certain direction, while letting him rest his head on her other hand without moving.
Yan Nuo's heart trembled violently. He pursed his lips, saved the photo, and then sent Noah a red envelope.
Noah: / Shocked, this is too big.
[Yan Nuo]: Please accept this small token of my apology, Mr. Ya.
[Yan Nuo]: I'll ask the coach when I get back if we still need any sponsorship slots. You guys can talk about it then. Our team is very famous, and if we get sponsorship, it will definitely help AIO become a national brand.
Noah: Bro! You really are my brother!
[Noah]: /Thumbs up/Thumbs up/Thumbs up/Thumbs up, I will always be a supporter of you and Xiao Ke. You two are a perfect match, it would be against all reason if you weren't together.
[Yan Nuo]: ...Don't say that in front of your senior.
Yan Nuo replied with a smile, then continued to admire the photo.
They look so good together, they look like a couple's street photo.
He had an impulse to post it on his WeChat Moments, especially to show it to Zhao Qi, but he eventually calmed down.
Because he saw that Su Yao's profile picture was smiling at him in his pinned chat, as if she was monitoring his every move.
Yan Nuo covered her head with a pillow and cried out in distress.
What should I do? It seems like he's turned into a two-timing scumbag!
"Yan Nuo's favorability has increased by a full 400 points, host!"
Little B was shocked, "Host, you've only been here for a little over two weeks, how did you manage this?"
"Yan Nuo's favorability is currently the highest among the five, at -459, and it's very close to turning positive."
Fang Ke was picking out something when she heard Xiao B's words and couldn't help but laugh, "You call 459 'within reach'?"
Little B couldn't help but say, "I have a feeling that if it's the host, it will be able to max out the skill very quickly."
"You have so much confidence in me now?"
Little B immediately fawned, "Yes, I admire Qiang."
Then he could burst into laughter.
She is currently in a hardware store, selecting knives, window breaker hammers, self-defense tools, retractable batons, and stun guns.
When she went to pay with a bunch of things in her arms, the shop owner gave her a wary look.
Fang Ke was dressed casually today, wearing a loose-fitting skirt suit with a baseball jacket on top and a crossbody bag.
She was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, looking like a college student who had just finished school—youthful and fashionable.
She shouldn't have aroused any suspicion, but she was indeed carrying quite a few lethal weapons.
The shop owner swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "...Young lady, why are you buying so many controlled knives?"
Fang casually replied, "Oh, for self-defense."
"For self-defense... you don't need to buy so many knives."
Fang Ke's light laughter came from behind the mask, "Isn't it you who sells it? I'll buy whatever you sell, what's the problem?"
The boss was speechless for a moment, but still scratched his head and said, "What if I take these knives and sticks back and hurt myself? It would be even more terrifying if they hurt someone else..."
Fang Ke pointed to the surveillance camera above her head and said, "Don't worry, it's broad daylight, what could I possibly do? Boss, don't overthink it."
Fang Ke picked up the knife packaged by the shop owner and paid by scanning the code.
"I won't use a knife unless someone provokes me."
Shop owner: "..."
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a sharp chill on the back of my neck!
Two hours ago, Fang Ke received a phone call that was both unexpected and somewhat expected.
The call came from the first item on her to-do list: Cheng Jin, the loan shark.
Cheng Jin sighed on the other end of the phone, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you could actually make so much money in just two weeks, Miss Fang. I, Cheng Jin, underestimated you."
Fang Ke raised an eyebrow slightly after listening, "You made this call at a very opportune time. If you had called a couple of days earlier, I wouldn't have been able to switch."
Cheng Jin smiled meaningfully, "We definitely have to keep a close eye on debtors, what if we can't get the money back? Don't you think so, Miss Fang?"
Fang Ke coldly asked, "Give me your card number, I'll transfer it to you in a bit, or do you just want cash?"
The person on the other end said lazily, "No rush, Miss Fang, get the money ready. Let's meet at the KTV we used to go to."
Seemingly knowing Fang Ke would refuse, the other party said, "If you don't come, I can't return the IOU to you. You did put your fingerprint and sign it."
Fang Ke lazily replied, "Okay, it's only right that I make the trip. After all, Boss Cheng's people have already made hundreds of trips on their own initiative."
"...You really have a sharp tongue."
Send me the address, I'll arrive this afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ke began planning which tools to bring.
Since she had limited time the first time she went, she only brought a fruit knife.
The old man's tone was strange, and Fang Ke felt that things weren't so simple.
Because, in the original book, this was a fatal flaw for the original owner.
From borrowing money to being chased for debt, to falling into someone else's trap for money, leading to utter ruin.
The original owner's life took a sharp turn for the worse starting from this loan.
Just like when Fang Ke first confronted Cheng Jin, his reaction at the time clearly showed that Fang Ke's guess was correct: someone was directing him from behind.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the other party deliberately lent money to the original owner, deliberately sent people to collect the debt, and deliberately destroyed the original owner's psychological defenses.
Fang Ke could hardly believe that the huge plot hole left in the original book could be filled so easily.
So who is the most hated, the most ruthless, and the one with a large family business involved in some gray-area industries in the original book?
The answer is obvious.
After leaving the hardware store, Fang Ke found a place and broke down the pile of tools into smaller pieces, strapping them all to his body.
"..."
Little B was dumbfounded. Could this really be done?
Little B: "...Host, wouldn't it be a bit risky for you to go by yourself? Why don't you ask someone to go with you?"
With Fang Ke's popularity recovering, she'll definitely be able to invite people to join her.
"Anyway, if anything goes wrong, you should call the police for me immediately."
Fang Ke thought for a moment and said, "I actually have a guess as to who is behind him."
Fang Ke smiled and said, "Don't you find it strange that one of the male guests has been completely invisible so far? Even though his disgust for me was practically overflowing at the dinner table."
Little B immediately realized, "It really is... and his identity is that of the Mo Clan..."
"Yes, so you're saying I can't not go this time?"
Fang Ke had to go, and not only that, he had to go too, but he also had to give this guy a world-line repair slap.
Everyone else is playing domineering CEOs in the entertainment industry, in a lighthearted, entertaining, and silly way, but this guy is doing something gloomy and dark, cosplaying a mafia godfather. The style is completely different!
