"Yueyue, there's someone behind you." Once again, Leng Yue was being followed.
"Don't worry about him, we'll shake him off in no time." Leng Yue didn't seem to care much; she was used to being followed all the time.
Without even thinking, Leng Yue knew it was someone sent by the female lead. Since the banquet, being followed had become a regular occurrence for her. Seeing that the other party hadn't taken any action, Leng Yue gradually stopped caring.
"I don't think we'll shake them off this time. They've been following us closely since before. Judging from their attitude, they're determined to achieve their goal." Zero glanced around and realized that these weren't just ordinary thugs.
"Them? A lot of people?" Leng Yue paused. The park was just ahead, the place where she had previously dealt with Wang Shengli.
"Hmm, four or five. It seems the female lead is in a hurry." Zero lightly touched the screen, and four or five figures were hidden in the darkness. "They look like they have lethal weapons."
"Can I use that?" Having done so many missions, Leng Yue had only ever seen melee weapons, never firearms! It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious; most of the time, she simply didn't know if she had the authority to use it.
“That probably won’t work…” Zero thought for a moment and then said, “Why don’t you run away first, Yueyue? Won’t it arouse the female lead’s suspicion if you suddenly have a weapon?”
As the park drew closer, Leng Yue summoned her long-unused dagger. "Forget it, I'll stick to using melee weapons."
"This is really troublesome!" Leng Yue sighed softly, weighing the dagger in her hand.
"How about... we use hypnosis?" Zero suggested.
"Isn't there a limit to the number of people who can be hypnotized? Forget it, I'll do it myself." Leng Yue said, and in a flash, she disappeared into the woods of the park.
The moment Leng Yue disappeared, the people behind her quickened their pace. Leng Yue hid behind a large tree, quietly watching them.
"Tell me, should I just let them kill each other?" Leng Yue, with an invisibility talisman on her body, suddenly realized she'd been a bit foolish. She could have just used the invisibility talisman; she should have known better than to run away. Working up a sweat in the middle of the night—what a blistering mess!
"Why don't you do it yourself?" Zero didn't react for a moment. Leng Yue is so powerful now, and she has an invisibility talisman. Dealing with a few bad guys is a piece of cake!
"If I make a move and leave any clues, wouldn't that just cause me trouble?" Leng Yue looked at the dagger in her hand and then put it back to its original state.
"So what do you plan to do?" Zero asked, watching the two people searching for Leng Yue in the shadows.
"Could you project my image onto them all at the same time?" Leng Yue yawned. "It's the middle of the night, and I still have to go back and do my homework! I'd better not get entangled with them."
Zero frowned in the space, pondered for a moment, "Yueyue, this works, but... isn't it too perfunctory?"
"Is that not allowed? Isn't there a rule from headquarters?" Leng Yue had only yawned halfway through when she heard Zero's words, so she could only take out her dagger again. "Fine, I'll do it myself then!"
Zero said somewhat apologetically, "Yueyue, I'm sorry, I'm just a system after all..."
Leng Yue understood what Ling didn't say: he was a system, under the control of headquarters, so he had to be careful in everything he did. Otherwise, headquarters might find something wrong with him, which would be no fun!
"It's alright, it's alright. Anyway, I have an invisibility talisman, so it's not that troublesome." Leng Yue said, holding the dagger, and tiptoed inside.
These people were quite fast; before we knew it, they had already searched deep into the dense forest inside the park.
As they searched, they muttered, "Where is he? Where did he go?"
One of them said, "Brother, the master said this girl is very shrewd; she's outmaneuvered many people before!"
"Search for her. I don't believe a little girl can grow wings and escape," a man wearing sunglasses ordered in a low voice.
"How about it, Yueyue?" Ling looked at Leng Yue, wondering what she would do.
"Call the police and say that someone here is in possession of illegal weapons," Leng Yue originally wanted to make them fight amongst themselves, but after observing them up close, she discovered that they were not only accomplices, but also well-trained ones.
After observing them, Leng Yue knew that it would be difficult for her to eliminate them without leaving any trace, at least not at present. With her current abilities, killing them wouldn't be difficult, but it would be hard to guarantee that she wouldn't leave any openings.
Rather than exposing yourself and causing trouble, it's better to remain hidden forever.
"...That's it?" Zero was stunned. "I thought you were going to choose some more awesome way to handle it!"
“This is a society governed by law. Do you think I can be all high and mighty? Besides, I also want to increase the female lead’s criminal record so she knows that in this society, anyone who breaks the law will be punished.” Leng Yue had always had this idea in her heart: to punish the female lead through the law.
As the female lead, Zhang Xiuxiu possesses a protagonist's halo, which protects her from external harm. However, compared to the female lead, the law is another powerful force.
The law is the code of conduct for all human society. If we're talking about who has the most "halo" (aura or advantage), which protagonist can compare to the law?
How could the light of a firefly compare to the brilliance of the moon! Leng Yue refused to believe that she couldn't deal with the wicked female lead using legitimate means!
After zero reports of incidents, the police arrived quickly. Sirens blared, and the park was surrounded by fully armed officers. The criminals inside immediately panicked, and the five of them quickly huddled together.
"Boss, what should we do?" A thin man became frightened after hearing the police siren.
"Boss, if you ask me, let's fight! We have weapons anyway!" The thug who had warned their leader earlier became excited. He was eager to try, clearly a belligerent individual.
The man in sunglasses hesitated for a moment, sweat beading on his forehead. "We'll risk it all!" They were all desperate criminals, having fled overseas for money and then smuggled themselves back. If they were caught, they would die. So, they had to give it their all one last time!
Hearing their words, Leng Yue knew something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she asked Ling for some immobilization talismans, put one on each of them, and then quietly slipped back home.
Leng Fei and Wang Jing didn't get home until midnight. Leng Fei had drunk a lot, and Wang Jing struggled to support him.
Leng Yue heard them enter and initially didn't want to pay attention. However, Wang Jing called her, so Leng Yue reluctantly went out to take a look.
"You're back?" Leng Yue asked indifferently.
"Come help Mom, your dad is too heavy." Wang Jing said to Leng Yue, her voice trembling as she supported Leng Fei.
Leng Yue hesitated for a moment before taking a few steps forward and catching Leng Fei with one hand. "I can handle this myself. Where should I put it? Is the sofa okay?" Leng Yue said, tossing Leng Fei onto the sofa.
Wang Jing was dumbfounded. Watching Leng Yue throw Leng Fei away so effortlessly was like seeing an alien. She couldn't react for a long time!
"It's okay, I'm going back to do my homework." Leng Yue looked at Wang Jing, who had been taken away. "There's a lot of homework today, and the homeroom teacher will check it herself tomorrow."
Wang Jing nodded mechanically, and only after Leng Yue closed the door did she rush into Leng Yue's room at top speed.
"What's wrong?" Leng Yue looked at Wang Jing in front of her, somewhat speechless. She had almost bumped into the door just now.
Wang Jing looked at Leng Yue, "You...you...are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Leng Yue left the door half-open, ready to see the guest out at any time.
"You...aren't you a little too strong?" Wang Jing looked at the seemingly frail daughter of the legal representative in front of her and found it hard to believe.
Leng Yue shook her head. "I don't feel anything. I still have homework to do. Let's talk tomorrow." After saying that, Leng Yue pushed Wang Jing out and closed the door again.
