Qiao Zhen really went crazy with He Xian and Zhao Rou, spending all her time wandering around the food street or canyon, and gained several pounds from all the food.
"I remember we'd get a two-week break after military training. We'll go back all round and plump, and that'll make An Erle furious!" Qiao Zhen said indignantly, then took another bite of a chicken wing. "I remember there's a crayfish restaurant downstairs, the meat is fresh and delicious."
He Xian swallowed hard. "Let's go eat tomorrow. Oh, life is so wonderful."
[Seriously! Chu Zhao's mental state has collapsed! Not the kind of collapse like when he's feeling melancholic, but the kind that makes him turn to the dark side, what should we do?!]
Qiao Zhen, who was gnawing on a chicken wing, paused. [Where is he?]
[Lanshu Mountain, I've sent you the map and coordinates; you should be able to understand it.]
Qiao Zhen saw a map of Lan Shou Mountain in her mind, with the Poisonous Snake Cave marked, and Chu Zhao was a red dot on the map.
Why do you have cheat codes?
[Because...because the God of Taibai thinks you're unreliable, but I'm different. I'm a diligent and conscientious quest pet!]
"...There's nothing to say. You're so engrossed in snacks and work so diligently all day; you must be living in a dream. Can you even detect what's happening to Chu Zhao?"
【cannot.】
Oh, you're still living in a dream world.
"I'm going to Lanshu Mountain this afternoon, so it'll be just the two of you going." Qiao Zhen put down the chicken wings, hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then quickly stuffed her clothes into her suitcase. "I have something urgent to attend to."
He Xian followed behind, watching Qiao Zhen busy herself. "What are you doing?"
Qiao Zhen turned around, rolled up her phone charger, and put it in her suitcase. "It's a matter of life and death. The import and export of Lanshou Mountain is monopolized. I don't know how to get there yet."
Zhao Rou said slowly, "There are residents on Lan Shou Mountain. If you blend in with their relatives, you should be able to get in."
"The checks are strict. Those who get into T University are either from prominent families or have real talent. Aren't they all promising talents?" Qiao Zhen put her suitcase aside and sat on the bed, deep in thought. Her family background in this world wasn't yet at the level of owning a private jet.
[It's true! It's true! Chu Zhao is about to break down completely!]
[Shut up, weren't you supposed to be just a melancholic CEO?!]
[A...a sadistic, melancholic CEO.]
This information is terrible! Leave a message if you need help, I'll try to figure something out.
Qiao Zhen booked a flight to K City online for 1:30 PM. She took a car directly to the airport to pick up her ticket and then sat in the waiting room to wait.
She couldn't just sit and wait to die, so she used voice or video calls to try and calm Chu Zhao down.
Fortunately, Chu Zhao answered the phone very quickly.
"Hello."
Chu Zhao's voice was low and somber; it was, in a sense, very bad news.
"Hey Chu Zhao, you guys still have a signal at Lan Shou Mountain!"
"Aren't you here too?"
"I wasn't there. I overslept that morning, so I took the day off and didn't go."
"very nice."
After Chu Zhao left the words "That's great," he hung up the phone, leaving Qiao with only a busy signal.
Qiao Zhen couldn't give up, so she kept calling, one call after another, until she boarded the plane. Her phone was also out of battery, so she had to wait until after she got off the plane to charge it.
When she arrived in K City, it was already 3:30 pm. She dragged her suitcase and took a taxi to Lotus Village, a village at the foot of Lanshou Mountain.
Qiao Zhen spent money and sought help from various experts, going through a lot of trouble to finally get the villagers to carry her up the mountain on tricycles. Fortunately, she already had her admission notice from T University and a leave slip from the university's academic affairs office, so she made it up the mountain smoothly.
"Chu Zhao!" Qiao Zhen dragged her suitcase and rushed to the location marked with a red dot in her mind. Looking at the small, dark room in front of her, she didn't care that the door was dirty, and raised her hand to knock on the door. "Chu Zhao! Are you in there?!"
"Mmm," Chu Zhao responded softly.
"Step back, move away from the door." Qiao Zhen took a few steps back, and as soon as Chu Zhao slowly responded, she kicked the door a few times, making the wooden door sway and shake.
Qiao Zhen kicked again, and with a loud "bang," the door bravely fell. She went inside and saw Chu Zhao trapped in a dusty chair, immediately untying the knot. "What happened? How did you get trapped here?"
Chu Zhao lowered his head, saying nothing. His eyes were dim, and after a long while he slowly said, "I need to pee."
Qiao Zhen pulled him up and dragged him outside. "There's a restroom here, right? Go take care of this."
Chu Zhao's lips moved a few times, and she uttered two words, "No."
"Then go take care of it in the wild, I'll keep watch for you." Qiao Zhen looked at the wound on Chu Zhao's wrist. Her anger was about to explode. She turned around with her hands on her hips to calm herself down.
Chu Zhao relieved himself in some bushes, then dawdled over to Qiao Zhen's side.
Qiao Zhen carried a suitcase in one hand and led Chu Zhao to the hotel on Lanshou Mountain with the other. Fortunately, there were still rooms available, which allowed Chu Zhao to take a shower and change his clothes.
"Now can you tell me what happened to you?" Qiao Zhen washed an apple and handed it to Chu Zhao.
Chu Zhao curled up on the kang with his knees drawn up to his chest, holding a round apple in his hands. "A few days ago, I had a half-day break from military training, so I went drinking with them. When I woke up, An Erle was sleeping next to me. I don't know what happened."
Qiao Zhen looked at him in disbelief, "And then you were locked up?"
