Chapter 204 Dark History



Of all the cards Cheng Shuang had, only this one could help Gong Zhu escape danger.

Logically speaking, it would be too extravagant to throw away a card for a temporary partner, but it is precisely because the cooperation is temporary that it is even more important to show one's sincerity. In addition, the side effects of this card are not clearly stated, and the other party will also bear certain risks.

But risk is always better than death.

Yes, Cheng Shuang planned to use the broken fishing net card copied by Luo An. However, since the card's description didn't seem to have any reliable attributes, while throwing the card, the little girl kindly used her general store skill to throw a swimming ring at Gong Zhu, hoping that she would land in the pool on the first floor of the waterside pavilion, rather than in some strange or eye-catching place.

The card touched Gong Zhu's back and immediately turned into a fishing net that tightly wrapped around her. Just before it disappeared, a swimming ring hit her head.

Fortunately, the card worked.

The disappearance of a person into thin air does not affect the mechanical beast's work, but the two blue flames seem to have grown quite a bit, which has greatly increased its work efficiency, making the mechanical beast next to it almost unable to compete with it.

Seeing that the door was tightly closed and it didn't seem like anyone was going to come in, Cheng Shuang quickly took out the ghost doll and left a message for Siyue, telling her to go out for a walk and try to rescue Gong Zhu.

The little girl felt great for doing her best and accepting her fate, having saved another life.

It was definitely no problem for him to go out in April, but there were too many people around, making it inconvenient to make phone calls at any time. So when he received Cheng Shuang's brief message, he couldn't ask for details and just assumed that Gong Zhu was in some danger. He immediately took the guides he couldn't shake off and started to tour the central city in a grand manner.

She was anxious while holding Luo An No. 1, but she didn't show it on her face. She deliberately went to places with water, but there were no dangerous rapids in the city, only plenty of water.

Finally, in April, she successfully found Gong Zhu, which was easier than she had imagined.

There were simply too many guides surrounding this ordinary little waterfall. They all had livid faces and looked miserable, as if they desperately wanted to get away but had no choice but to stay.

As for the defenders, they just watched the show with their noses in their mouths.

When April saw the guide's expression change drastically, her heart skipped a beat. But in the blink of an eye, she spotted Feng Jiakang with a sly grin in the crowd of defenders.

With this kid here, Gong Zhu must not be in mortal danger, otherwise he wouldn't have stood by without a shred of compassion.

Taking advantage of the guide's distraction, April walked up to Feng Jiakang. She was about to ask what was going on when she was overwhelmed by an indescribable smell that brought tears to her eyes.

She finally understood why everyone was pinching their noses.

April took a few steps back, then gasped for breath, completely losing her composure. With a wave of her arm, she ordered the guides to rush forward, "Go see what's going on, and help out if you can!"

Knowing full well that the VIP was deliberately making things difficult, and that a group of people had already gathered around the small waterfall and rockery to get to work, what could her guide do? On such a trivial matter, all she could do was obey orders.

After they held their breath and walked past, April held her breath and stood side by side with Feng Jiakang again.

This location has the least odor, but because it's at the highest point of the arched bridge and offers a clear view of what's happening at the waterfall, it has become a central gathering place for maintenance workers.

In April, with her delicate and pretty appearance, and holding a blue-eyed doll dressed in Hanfu, she was particularly eye-catching.

At least no man would ignore her, even if the stinky atmosphere wasn't suitable for romantic thoughts; after all, everyone loves beauty.

Sun Han, Du Lanshan, and Du Lushui exchanged glances and silently stepped back. They had arrived the earliest, originally intending to take the opportunity to find their teammates, but apart from the three of them, they had not seen Du Jun and Liu Juan.

Cheng Shuang is alright; Sun Han occasionally sees the little girl jumping around in the neighboring house, her carefree manner almost indistinguishable from that of a guide. But there's still no news of the other two, who are also quite young, which is truly worrying.

The Du brothers, Du Lanshan and Du Lushui, are both quite capable fighters, but Du Lanshan lacks self-control. He's always involved in fights, and now... if his younger brother hadn't been watching him, he probably would have been devoured alive by the beauties surrounding him.

These two are entangled together; it would be a blessing if they just behaved themselves and didn't cause any trouble.

Sun Han quietly walked up to April, intending to find an opportunity to get some information out of her. Cheng Shuang's ghost doll was in her hands, which meant the two of them were planning an alliance. Since it was Cheng Shuang's decision, he and the Du brothers would naturally support it.

April was gazing at the waterfall, uninterested in the people crowding around her. What puzzled her was that the guides had been trying to retrieve the water, but why hadn't they managed to do it after so long? Their efforts couldn't be that ineffective!

Upon closer inspection, wow, Gong Zhu, this little princess who always dresses herself up exquisitely and beautifully even at a rest stop, was wearing a tank top and shorts that looked like a whiteboard from a video game. She was lying on a half-person-wide stone ornament below the waterfall with her back to everyone. Her upper body was immersed in the waterfall and constantly being washed by the water, while her lower body was suspended in mid-air, and the water rushed past her as she flew down.

Normally, she would have been swept away by the waterfall by the water. Luckily, the children's swim ring around her neck got stuck between the rocks and the cliff face of the artificial waterfall.

"Why doesn't she get up by herself?" April asked Feng Jiakang.

Feng Jiakang shrugged. "I just arrived too."

A bespectacled man next to him remarked, "He's dizzy!" He said in a somewhat complicated tone, "He was woken up by choking on water, and then he fainted from the fumes himself!"

In April, Feng Jiakang and Siyue looked at each other, feeling an urge to retreat and hide themselves.

Seeing Gong Zhu's dark past would be enough to make them laugh for half a year, provided they weren't afraid of being retaliated against by her various underhanded methods.
