Chapter 46 I'll Protect You (13)



[That's because the world created by the mission target is also very sophisticated! Even the Supreme God Taibai can only transmit some information; transmitting actual items is far too difficult!]

Hearing Chu Chu's soft, sweet voice, Qiao Zhen sighed wearily. This meant that she could only fight alone now.

【Zhenzhen, you still have me! Don't back down!】

[You've even lost your short legs, so you're pretty useless now and can be ignored.]

Qiao Zhen opened a one-way message-receiving mental sharing channel. She could receive what Chu Chu knew and felt, but Chu Chu could not receive hers.

Within a few days, Qiao Zhen arrived at the Yuan residence with Old Man Yuan and Yuan Lin. Qiao Zhen quickly packed her things and then left. However, she remained hidden in the shadows, fearing that Yuan Zhao might suddenly make a move.

But remaining in hiding wasn't a long-term solution; it was far too passive. Qiao Zhen decided to take the initiative. She bought a fast horse and hurried back to Yicheng, going straight upstairs and pushing open Yuan Zhao's door.

"Are you going to deal with the Yuan family?"

Yuan Zhao's answer was also straightforward and clear: "Yes."

Qiao Zhen felt she couldn't stand idly by, so she said, "I'll help you."

Yuan Zhao countered, "How are you going to help me?"

Qiao Zhen looked at Yuan Zhao with a serious expression in her eyes. "As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. You still have to deal with things in the martial arts world, so you must be overwhelmed. But I'm different. I can use the Xiao family to give them more fame and money. When they start to relax, you will have grown up and can take revenge on them and let them taste the difference between heaven and hell."

Yuan Zhao saw through Qiao Zhen's true intentions at a glance. He lowered his head and pretended not to know. "Indeed, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman. Then please help me make the Yuan family prosper."

Qiao Zhen nodded very seriously.

The crisis of the Yuan family's downfall has been delayed for some time, and Qiao Zhen needs to use this time to uncover the Yuan family's secrets.

So-called problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all. She is now, after all, the little brother of the tycoon Boss Song. She can easily use that money to buy information about the Yuan family.

That day, Qiao Zhen disguised herself as an elderly woman and went to a well-known information shop in the martial arts world. The shop was disguised as a cloth shop. After entering, she pointed to the most elegant and luxurious wedding dress and said, "Grandma, I am still quite charming. That one is very nice."

Perhaps Qiao Zhen concealed it too well, and the shopkeeper thought that her words were just a coincidence, so he went over and advised, "Grandma, this wedding dress is very expensive! Would you like to change it? The fabric here is also quite good."

Qiao Zhen was very unhappy. She stubbornly pointed to the wedding dress and said, "Not that one, it diminishes my radiance."

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered. "Grandma, let me help you inside and sit down. You're old, and it must be tiring for you to come all this way. Do you still want the fabric you ordered a few days ago?"

"Yes!" Qiao Zhen was helped into the back room of the shop by the shopkeeper. She looked around and found that it was no different from the back room of an ordinary shop. "I want to buy information about the Yuan family in the martial arts world, the Yuan family that suddenly rose to prominence in the martial arts world a few years ago."

The shop owner smiled and said, "Grandma, how would I know the answers to these questions?"

Qiao Zhen, hunched over, pulled two five-hundred-tael silver notes from her pocket and handed them to the shopkeeper. "Now you know?"

The boss chuckled, "I know, I know. Ask me anything you want."

Who is Du Ruhui? And who is Yuan Zhao?

"Du Ruhui was once a renowned heroine in the martial arts world. I don't know what she suffered, but she ended up marrying Master Yuan and died after giving birth. Yuan Zhao was that child. Master Yuan doted on the child, but Yuan Zhao was sometimes timid and sometimes indifferent, as if two people lived in one body. Now, Madam Yuan thinks there is something dirty about him, so she locks him in the courtyard, not allowing anyone to visit him or let him out."

"What do you mean, two people living in one body? It's schizophrenia, isn't it?" "What did Du Ruhui suffer back then? And how does Madam Yuan treat Yuan Zhao now?"

"This..." The shopkeeper looked at the silver note in his hand with a troubled expression, but his eyes were gleaming.

Qiao Zhen slipped another thousand taels of silver to the shopkeeper.

"Du Ruhui was drugged by Master Yuan, and she married him because she was pregnant with Yuan Zhao. However, after Du Ruhui died, Master Yuan still had feelings for her and doted on Yuan Zhao for a while. He married the current Madam Yuan when Yuan Zhao was two years old. Madam Yuan initially treated Yuan Zhao like her own son. But when Yuan Zhao was four years old, Madam Yuan became pregnant. After having her own son, how could she still treat Yuan Zhao well? She beat and scolded him behind Master Yuan's back every day. What could a four-year-old child understand? Perhaps he was abused for a long time and became somewhat crazy."

"How...how do you know so much?" Qiao Zhen asked hesitantly.

The boss smiled modestly, "In this turbulent world, there's nothing I don't know."

Qiao Zhen felt a little horrified, and she said, "Oh dear, please ask the boss to send the cloth to my master's house. I'm too old to carry these pieces of cloth anymore."

The shop owner, quick-witted, helped her out and then returned to the back of the shop, saying with delight, "These are all common knowledge. It's really true that this fool spent money to buy this information. My master was right."

The simple-minded Qiao Zhen went into the alley to remove her disguise, and then returned to the Mingmen Inn with the information she had just received that day. Based on the information the innkeeper had given her, she could conclude that Yuan Zhao was schizophrenic.

This makes things even more hopeless. Qiao Zhen not only has to fulfill the wishes of the main personality, but also the wishes of the secondary personality. If the wishes of the two personalities conflict, well, that's just... well, you know.
