On the other side, after Ling Mo opened the sandalwood box that Old Madam Qin had entrusted to Liu Bo to give her, she found that it contained a priceless emerald jade bracelet, and she couldn't help but frown.
The Qin family is quite interesting. Why would they give her such an expensive bracelet for no reason?
Could it be that the Qin family has become so wealthy that they spend money like water?
No, that's not quite right.
In her memory, the car Qin Beiming drove seemed to be an ordinary car for commuting, with a market price of only around 200,000 yuan.
How could someone driving an ordinary car possibly throw around a bracelet worth millions?
Could this bracelet be a family heirloom of the Qin family?
Upon realizing this possibility, Ling Mo quickly opened his WeChat contacts and sent a message to Gu Tingbai.
[Hey Bai, can you do me a favor?]
[Ah! Master, I'm here! I'm here!]
While lying in bed idly browsing the No. 1 Middle School forum, Gu Tingbai, who was supporting Ling Mo's post, received Ling Mo's message and jumped three feet high with excitement, almost collapsing the bed.
[Go to school early Monday morning. I need you to give something to Master Qin.]
[Wow, how...how did you know I was still in school?]
Gu Tingbai's eyes widened in surprise, and he uttered several "Holy crap"s in succession.
In fact, to conceal his lack of gaming skills, Gu Tingbai never mentioned in the game chat channel that he was still a student.
So how did the expert player "Yishi Chang'an" who carried him to victory in the game know that he was still a student?
Gu Tingbai felt something was off as he thought about it more and more, and suddenly remembered the famous scene of "Yishi Chang'an" spewing profanities during a game chat.
At the time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the expert's voice.
Now that I think about it, that voice does sound somewhat like Ling Mo's...
My God!
Could it be that Ling Mo is actually the legendary player "Yi Shi Chang An" from the game?!
The thought of this possibility made Gu Tingbai's heart race. He jumped out of bed with a "whoosh," slammed open the door to Gu Nanfeng's bedroom, and said in a serious tone:
"Brother! Third Sister-in-law's disguise is about to be exposed! What should we do? I'm so nervous."
"Third sister-in-law?"
Gu Nanfeng closed the laptop on his lap and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Third Sister-in-law?"
Gu Tingbai sat down right next to Gu Nanfeng, shoving his phone screen right in front of him, and said excitedly:
"Brother, do you remember the gaming legend 'Yishi Chang'an' that I mentioned to you?"
"I vaguely remember."
Upon hearing Gu Tingbai's words, Gu Nanfeng immediately recalled the gaming master "Yishi Chang'an," whose WeChat profile picture and nickname were highly similar to Qin Beiming's.
"The pro just told me to go to school early on Monday, saying he had something to bring to Third Brother. I guess Third Sister-in-law must have forgotten to switch accounts, which is why her game alias was exposed so suddenly."
"Are you sure this person is really Third Sister-in-law? Although Third Sister-in-law has a cold and aloof personality, she is still a young girl after all. How could she possibly use a black cloth as her profile picture? Normally, a girl's WeChat profile picture, if not a selfie, should be a cute and refreshing internet photo, or a picture of a cat or dog." Gu Nanfeng analyzed logically.
Gu Tingbai scoffed and immediately shut Gu Nanfeng up, "Brother, do you really think Third Sister-in-law is an ordinary girl? You must have some misunderstanding about the word 'ordinary'. Can an ordinary girl have such good skills? Can an ordinary girl dare to ride a motorcycle?"
"Too."
Gu Nanfeng nodded. Thinking about it, he also felt that Gu Tingbai, this great friend, was very likely Ling Mo's alternate account in the game.
With this in mind, he no longer hesitated and decisively initiated a video call with the other party.
After receiving the video request from Gu Tingbai on WeChat, Ling Mo pressed the answer button without thinking.
She never intended to hide her game ID from Gu Tingbai; she had just been busy these past few days and hadn't had a chance to talk to him or discuss the game.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Tingbai nervously clung to Gu Nanfeng's neck, letting out a series of screeching sounds like a groundhog.
"Ah! Bro, how could you send a video call invitation to the 'Great God'? Ah! I'm doomed, I'm so nervous! What if the 'Great God' really is my third sister-in-law...?"
"Gu Xiaobai? What are you doing?"
Ling Mo looked at Gu Tingbai, who was practically sitting on Gu Nanfeng's lap and shamelessly clinging to his neck, with a suspicious expression, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Third sister-in-law... no, Ling! You really are the legendary master of Chang'an!"
Gu Tingbai quickly withdrew his hand, clutching his pounding heart, and grinned foolishly at his phone screen with a lovesick expression.
"Um."
"Ling, you're amazing."
"You sent me a video late at night just to flatter me?" Ling Mo looked at the silly-looking Gu Tingbai and chuckled.
"no..."
Gu Tingbai didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he simply used Lu Xun as a shield again:
"When I was dozing off just now, I dreamt that the old man Lu Xun said that a sister-in-law who doesn't know how to play games is not a good sister-in-law. I thought this was really funny, so I wanted to share it with you."
"Boring... Remember to go to school early on Monday."
Ling Mo really couldn't understand why Gu Tingbai always called her Third Sister-in-law.
Nothing clearly happened between her and Qin Beiming.
If we have to draw some connection, it's a relationship of biting and being bitten.
Even after Ling Mo hung up the video call, Gu Tingbai remained immersed in ecstasy, muttering to himself:
"From now on, I will definitely be the most obedient son under my third sister-in-law!"
"Xiao Bai, you're not planning to steal her from Third Brother, are you?"
Gu Nanfeng flicked Gu Tingbai's head hard, "Wake up! How could your third sister-in-law possibly be interested in a gaming noob like you?"
“Brother, what are you thinking? In my heart, Third Sister-in-law is like the moon in the sky. If she were willing to take me in as her little brother, I would be burning incense and praying to Buddha.”
Gu Tingbai explained in a serious tone, while his hands were also busy, directly pushing Ling Mo's WeChat to Qin Beiming.
Unfortunately, Ling Mo is aloof and never adds strangers.
Despite Qin Beiming requesting to add her as a friend every five minutes, going back and forth all night, Ling Mo stubbornly refused to press the "accept" button.
Perhaps annoyed, half an hour later, she threw her phone off the bed, turned over, and fell into a deep, comfortable sleep.
