Chapter 3: He Misses Gong Ye
007 landed on the windowsill, curled up in a small, trembling position, its feathers fluttering, and occasionally peeking out the window.
It saw Boss Gong's car parked downstairs, and it stayed there for a very long time.
She was torn, wondering whether she should tell Gu Shanshan.
My heart was pounding as I peeked at him.
When Gu Shanshan came out of her room, she noticed 007's strange behavior and felt puzzled.
He asked, "007, what are you looking at?"
007 didn't notice Gu Shanshan behind him. Hearing the voice, he trembled in fright.
She fell directly from the windowsill.
"Ouch, that hurts."
007 shook its feathers, looking pitiful.
Patting my heart.
"007, are you hiding something from me? You seem so guilty."
"Host, you scared me to death!"
After saying that, he guiltily added, "I didn't, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense."
007 quickly issued a triple denial.
Gu Shanshan looked at 007 and felt increasingly strange, but she didn't think much of it.
After placing his belongings on the living room table, he opened the door and went into Xue Qidong's room.
Looking at the things Xue Qidong left in the room, Gu Shanshan felt extremely disgusted.
Filled with resentment and anger, she quickly packed up everything in Xue Qidong's room and threw it all into the trash can downstairs.
After doing all this, Gu Shanshan felt much better.
I called the landlord, and after agreeing on a refund and compensation, I returned the keys.
After the handover was completed, Gu Shanshan came out of the room with her belongings, which consisted of only a small suitcase.
He pulled his suitcase with one hand and carried the parrot with the other as he went downstairs.
007 found it strange and asked Gu Shanshan.
"Host, are you just leaving like this? Aren't you going to take revenge?"
007 thought that Gu Shanshan had been frustrated for so long, wandered in another world for so long, and worked so hard to get the chance to be reborn.
Back in the real world, shouldn't we be sharpening our knives and chopping down that scumbag?
But now they've simply thrown away Xue Qidong's things, checked out, and left.
This was completely different from the outcome 007 had anticipated, and he couldn't understand it.
"What can I do? Can I kill him?"
Gu Shanshan's tone was very calm.
"Otherwise what?"
Having spent too long by Gong Ye's side, 007 has naturally learned the principles of the survival of the fittest and the winner takes all.
In its view, Xue Qidong offended Gu Shanshan and should die.
Hearing 007's words, Gu Shanshan found it hilarious.
He patted 007's head, sighed, and told 007.
"This is the real world, not those fictional worlds of quick transmigration."
"This is a civilized society with its own comprehensive legal system. Bad people should be judged by the law. No one can decide the life or death of another based on their own likes and dislikes; that is illegal."
"Bad people will be detained, imprisoned, or executed depending on the severity of their crimes. These are not things that ordinary people can decide."
Gu Shanshan smiled bitterly, "Xue Qidong killed me in my past life, am I going to kill him in the same way in this life?"
Why not?
007 still felt that he should kill Xue Qidong to feel better.
"Then what's the difference between him and me?"
"007, you don't understand. All I ever wanted was to live a good life. I didn't want to end up in prison because of that scumbag Xue Qidong."
The more 007 listened, the more confused and bewildered he became.
"Host, do you mean to let Xue Qidong go?"
Hearing 007's words, Gu Shanshan curled her lips sarcastically, "How could that be?"
Gu Shanshan's expression grew even colder. "According to the law, although I cannot kill him with my own hands, I will personally send him to prison."
"You should know that in this world, death is not the only end of retribution."
Upon hearing this, 007 excitedly flew around Gu Shanshan once.
"Thank goodness, I thought you were having a blissful moment, Host."
Upon hearing 007's words, Gu Shanshan simply smiled and did not say anything more.
After the person and the bird arrived downstairs, they saw a black car parked there.
The car looked very luxurious, completely out of place in the impoverished neighborhood.
This is a notorious slum in City A, impoverished and backward, and the people living there have even less money.
It's impossible for anyone to afford such an expensive car.
It was the first time Gu Shanshan had ever seen such an expensive car, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.
After watching it, he even talked to 007.
"Is our area going to be demolished? Someone is driving such an expensive car."
However, the demolition has nothing to do with him; he is just a tenant here, not the landlord.
As soon as Gu Shanshan finished speaking, the black car door was opened.
A man who looked to be around 40 years old got out of the car.
Upon seeing Gu Shanshan, the man's face lit up with an eager smile as he walked towards her.
He walked up to Gu Shanshan and, to Gu Shanshan's astonishment, asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gu Shanshan?"
Gu Shanshan nodded and took two steps back.
She looked at the middle-aged man in front of her warily. "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Gu Shanshan asked in confusion, not understanding why the man in front of her knew her.
After all, he doesn't feel pain when he falls in the real world, his mother doesn't love him, and the only people who truly loved and cared for him, his grandparents, have been gone for many years.
He doesn't have any relatives, and even if he does, they have no connection to him and he's never had any contact with them.
Moreover, he couldn't possibly have any relatives who could afford such a luxury car.
He has no friends.
Because his family was relatively poor when he was young, he only ever spent time with Xue Qidong.
In addition, Xue Qidong always intentionally or unintentionally hindered his social activities, making it impossible for him to get close to anyone other than Xue Qidong.
"Hello, I'm the driver who's here to pick you up. You can just call me Lao Zhong."
The man introduced himself to Gu Shanshan, "I was sent by Mr. Gong Ye to pick you up and take you to the new house."
As he spoke, the man handed Gu Shanshan a business card, which had his name and number on it.
"Look, this is my business card. I'm not a scammer."
After saying that, he added, "If you don't believe me, you can call Mr. Ye to confirm it personally."
Gu Shanshan didn't believe it and was about to take out her phone to confirm with her trusted landlord, Mr. Ye.
But as if by unspoken agreement, the current landlord, Mr. Ye, called.
Gu Shanshan answered, "Hello, Mr. Ye, may I ask...?"
As soon as Gu Shanshan uttered those words, a low, cold voice came from the other end.
“Come with him. He’s not a scammer. He’ll take you upstairs to see the apartment.”
Before Gu Shanshan could ask any questions after saying that, the call was disconnected.
Gu Shanshan sighed as he looked at the phone that had been hung up. He felt that this Mr. Ye seemed a bit domineering.
This domineering and forceful approach made him uncontrollably think of Gong Ye.
Old Zhong spoke up solicitously.
"Mr. Gu, let's go."
With no other option, Gu Shanshan got into the car since she had already returned the original apartment.
In the real world, he was dirt poor and had never ridden in such an expensive private car, except for taking the bus.
Although I had ridden with Gong Ye many times in the quick transmigration world, I always sat in Gong Ye's lap.
Now that I'm sitting here alone, I feel really uncomfortable.
He misses Gong Ye.
Those who miss Gong Ye miss his embrace and kisses.
An hour later, Lao Zhong drove Gu Shanshan to an apartment building in the city center.
After parking the car, he took Gu Shanshan upstairs.
Throughout the journey, the driver was very attentive to Gu Shanshan, seemingly very polite and even respectful towards her.
It's as if Gu Shanshan is some important person.
Even when entering or exiting the elevator, Gu Shanshan had to be allowed to go first and exit first.
Old Zhong led Gu Shanshan up to the 28th floor, where a key opened the door, and invited Gu Shanshan inside.
"Mr. Gu, please come in."
Gu Shanshan entered stiffly, and after seeing the luxurious furnishings inside, she stood by the door, hesitant to move.
If he wasn't mistaken, he had seen the exact same sofa in a magazine before, which cost at least 1.2 million.
Gu Shanshan was a little frightened and took a few steps back in a panic.
She turned to look at the driver.
Are you sure this is the house I rented? I didn't come to the wrong place?
"Yes, Mr. Gu, if there's anything you don't like, please let me know and I'll have someone come and change it."
"No......"
Gu Shanshan hurriedly shook her head, "There's nothing wrong with it, this place is very nice, it's just too expensive, I can't afford it, or you've led me to the wrong room, this isn't where I want to stay."
Old Zhong seemed to realize what was happening and hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Gu, please don't misunderstand. This is the place you rented. The reason why the price is so cheap is because our Mr. Ye is in a hurry to go abroad and just wants to find someone to rent it to. As for how much the rent is, our Mr. Ye doesn't care at all."
He then handed the key to Gu Shanshan.
"Please go ahead with your work. If you need anything, just call the number on my business card. I'll go report to Mr. Ye now."
As if afraid that Gu Shanshan would ask too many questions, Old Zhong left quickly after saying this, leaving Gu Shanshan alone.
The driver sped away so fast that Gu Shanshan didn't have a chance to say anything.
Looking at the luxuriously decorated house, Gu Shanshan felt very uncomfortable.
After a long pause, he realized that he was penniless and that apart from Xue Qidong, no one else knew he had that million.
Besides, their sofas start at 1.2 million, so why would they care about the 1 million in his pocket?
Gu Shanshan could only attribute her success in renting such a nice house to she being incredibly lucky.
After comforting herself, Gu Shanshan opened her suitcase and placed it on the ground. She then squatted down and took out the contents of the suitcase to organize them.
When Lao Zhong left, he left a crack in the door, not closing it completely.
I don't know if it was intentional or if I genuinely didn't notice and left it open.
Gu Shanshan was facing away from the door, unpacking the luggage she had brought.
Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him and instinctively turned around.
"who......"
