Knowing that she would be exposed soon, Hua Cai stopped wandering around Chang Hong's school and went straight back the way she came to climb over the wall.
"This is incredible! The kidnapping of the female lead wasn't done by Lin Ziyan? Oh my god, Baozi, I have a feeling there's a conspiracy involved. Could the male lead have been involved too?" Hua Cai's steps were so excited that she almost stumbled along the way.
This is so exciting! I felt something was off between the male and female leads while we were eating, but I never imagined there was so much hidden information.
"Hey, host, aren't you going to deal with that guy from earlier?" The system's attention was completely elsewhere.
"What's there to deal with? I didn't kill her. She'll walk on her own when she wakes up." Hua Cai paused, glancing behind her out of the corner of her eye.
The system sighed, "Aren't you afraid she'll go back and talk nonsense, causing you a lot of trouble?"
Hua Cai paused in her steps. Ten meters away, at the corner of the wall, a person stopped right behind her, pretending to look at the tree next to them.
"She must have had the guts to talk nonsense. She just casually told a stranger about something so important. Isn't she afraid that Yi Min will cause her trouble?"
The system looked up at the sky. If the male lead found out, he'd probably be more likely to cause you trouble.
The weather was exceptionally good today. The midday sun was blazing down, and the sudden clearing of the weather, which had been cool for quite some time, caught pedestrians off guard.
Hua Cai raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight, then turned and suddenly changed direction.
She decided to revisit the place to see how the male and female leads were doing. Since it wasn't a good idea to harm them in this world, she figured it was best to stay away from them while she could.
Those brats from yesterday looked well-behaved, but I doubt many of them are really as obedient as they appear. Even the fingerprints on that stack of IOUs are questionable – are they theirs?
What does it matter if it's the person in question? She wants them to come up with something, but she can't really rely on just a piece of paper.
A night and a morning have passed, and those who had the idea have probably already taken action.
This time, Hua Cai didn't actually walk all the way back. Instead, she took a bus, a ride that even the original owner of this world had never taken before, which was quite novel.
A dozen minutes later, Hua Cai staggered off the open car door, and it took her a long time to catch her breath before she vomited.
Thinking of those passengers who remained unmoved during each sudden stop, Hua Caihuo felt a faint sense of admiration for the people of this world.
He patted his face, checked the direction, and realized that he had left from here yesterday morning. He couldn't have forgotten it so easily. He soon arrived at the original owner's little nest.
Unsurprisingly, the little nest that provided her with shelter the night before last is now a pile of ruins, with bags of garbage piled up on top, emitting a foul stench.
This area isn't exactly bustling, but it's not remote either. There's a trash can every five steps, so the fact that there's so much trash here is clearly something someone did on purpose.
Hua Cai narrowed her eyes, glanced at the few suspicious people around her, searched Ruan Yun's memories, chose the quietest alley, and strolled in.
A few shady-looking young men at the bus stop not far away exchanged glances, looked around casually, and quickly followed him inside.
Five minutes later, Hua Cai walked out unhurriedly, holding a stack of banknotes and two gold necklaces in her hand.
If I had known these people were so poor, I should have brought a card reader.
He pouted in dissatisfaction and casually stuffed a bunch of things into his backpack.
Hua Cai wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, but didn't encounter any more sneaky people following her, which made her feel bored.
So many spoiled brats were beaten up by her yesterday, isn't it a bit too few to encounter just this one group?
Since there's nothing there, it's convenient. I might as well go back, take a shower, and grab something to eat.
After all, fighting is physically demanding.
Back in her hotel room, Hua Cai was surprised to find two people waiting outside the door.
"Oh, aren't you going straight in and sitting down? Why are you waiting here?" Hua Cai greeted her with a smile.
He Gu, the man in black, darkened his already sullen face even more. He clearly didn't appreciate Hua Cai's dry humor, which seemed to deliberately bring up the most awkward topics. He decisively ignored the question and, under Gong Xinyu's curious gaze, forced himself to remain calm and said, "Miss Gong and I have come to deliver the money."
Sending money?
Hua Cai was taken aback. She glanced at the smaller and more exquisite box in He Gu's hand, and suddenly remembered the five million she had just received yesterday. Feeling quite pleased, she took out her newly issued bank card from her backpack and generously handed it over.
"Here, turn it."
He Gu's face darkened again, and he forced back his resentment as he reached out to take it.
Look at the expression on this young lady's face when she handed over the card; it was as if she was saying, "Here's five million; feel free to swipe it as you please."
Without saying a word, he took out tools from the box, quickly completed the transfer, and handed the card back to Hua Cai.
A pleasant ringtone sounded from her body. Without looking up, Hua Cai took the card, took out her room key, and swiped it to open the door.
"Thank you so much, especially you. It's so nice to see you. You always come to give me money." Without giving the two people outside a chance to react, she quickly slammed the door shut.
With a loud bang, He Gu's gloomy face was shut out from outside the door.
He had brought Miss Gong along specifically as instructed by the young master, hoping to build a better relationship. However, the man turned out to be quite pragmatic; after taking the money, he didn't even bother to let them in.
Is she really just a fifteen-year-old girl?
He Gu questioned the meaning of life, but then, thinking about his young master, he suddenly realized that it wasn't so unacceptable after all.
In the hotel room, Hua Cai looked at the large string of numbers that had appeared in her account with great excitement, and quickly began searching for apartments online.
A home is where you have roots. Even if a hotel is nice, you can't live here forever.
It seems that Ruan Yun also longs to have a real home in this city, rather than a place that can be washed away by a heavy rain.
Looking out the window at the already darkening sky, Hua Cai lay down on the bed.
It seems I'll have to find another opportunity to ask for leave.
"Achoo—Achoo—" On the main road in X city, He Gu, who was driving, suddenly sneezed twice in a row. His hand trembled as he was driving, and the car almost veered sideways, which gave Gong Xinyu in the back seat a fright.
"Uncle He?"
"It's alright, sit tight, we'll be there soon. Don't be nervous when you see the young master, he's quite nice to you, his little sister." He Gu rubbed his nose, secretly wondering to himself which fearless person was talking about him all the time.
"Brother." Gong Xinyu lowered her head, nervously clutching the hem of her skirt.
How could I not be nervous?
