Chapter 258: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (4)
Huo Shichu had no idea that Zhou Wen, like Old Lady Huo, had his eyes on her and was planning to use her as a stepping stone.
She saw several houses she liked online and planned to go and see them and choose a suitable one to rent. However, there was nothing she could do because she only had 40,000 yuan left and could not afford to buy a house.
She didn't have any urgent matters that required a lot of money, so she didn't need to use the gold, silver and jewelry in her companion space.
Huo Shichu looked at all the houses with the real estate agent, and finally chose a two-bedroom, one-living-room house with a monthly rent of 8,000 yuan. Because she had to pay one-third of the deposit, after paying the rent, she only had a few thousand yuan left, less than 10,000 yuan... She was a bit poor.
When she returned to the hotel after looking at the house, she was reluctant to take a taxi and had to take the subway.
Not far from the subway exit, a man suddenly bumped into her from the side and snatched the bag off her shoulder.
Huo Shichu was immediately furious. She had not expected that this blind thief would rob her, so she shouted, "Someone is robbing! Help call the police!"
She ran after the robber. In order to go out to see the house, she wore a pair of white shoes, which was very convenient for running. Huo Shichu held her breath and chased the man closely, shouting loudly while running: "Please help stop the robber!"
People passing by heard her shouting and saw that there was indeed a man running in front with a bag that was obviously a lady's bag, so some enthusiastic people helped to chase the man.
After running for two blocks, Huo Shichu was still chasing the man. The robber had no way to get rid of her. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to him, he suddenly felt a little panicked. Obviously, he didn't expect Huo Shichu to be so difficult to deal with.
In the end, he still couldn't outrun Huo Shichu. Huo Shichu caught up to him two or three meters behind him, then kicked him accurately to the ground with a very handsome move.
"Girl, that last kick of yours was really powerful!" The uncle who was helping to chase him helped Huo Shichu hold down the man who fell to the ground, and asked in amazement, "It was quite powerful. You ran so far. Have you practiced it before?"
Huo Shichu kicked the man hard again, then said with a smile: "I haven't practiced much, but I'm a dance major, and practicing dance requires physical strength."
"No wonder." The uncle sighed.
Finally, Huo Shichu followed Inspector Jing to record his statement, and it was almost dark when he returned to the hotel.
But she had no idea that the man who came to snatch her bag was sent by Zhou Wenye. Zhou Wenye wanted to win her favor, so he asked someone to play the role of "hero saving the beauty".
But he underestimated Huo Shichu's athletic ability. Before he could "do something brave and righteous", Huo Shichu ran away after the robber. As a man used to sitting in an office, he couldn't catch up with him and had to give up.
As for whether the arrested person will give out him as the mastermind behind the incident, it depends on whether he can shut that person up. But even if he can, it will cost him a lot of money, right?
Huo Shichu didn't know that her excellent athletic ability allowed her to escape a plot.
She soon moved from the hotel to her own rented house. With a safe and stable home, she began to earn money to support herself.
If she doesn't plan to be a dancer, she will have to work in other industries.
It just so happened that she saw a friend on WeChat Moments posting a job posting for Xingyue Entertainment Company recruiting screenwriters, directors and actors, and she planned to become a screenwriter.
Of course, she was a person used to freedom and did not want to join a company and be controlled by others, so she just planned to be a wild screenwriter and sell the scripts she wrote to others.
Huo Shichu is a very serious person. Since he has chosen a career, he will do it well.
She had never been a screenwriter before, but as long as she was willing to learn, there was no profession that she could not master. Even if she could not master it, Huo Shichu still had a golden finger, that is, she had traveled through so many worlds, as long as she wrote about the life in one of the worlds she had traveled through, it would be very exciting.
It takes a lot of time for a screenwriter to write a script, and Huo Shichu doesn't have much money now, so she can only work as a translator to earn money to support herself.
So she found a part-time translation job on the Internet. She could speak several foreign languages and was very talented. No matter what the document was about, no matter how obscure and difficult the words were, she could translate it fluently and professionally. So she quickly became famous. Some people even wanted to hire her as a full-time translator with a high salary, but she refused.
Huo Shichu worked as a translator while studying screenwriting and became a stay-at-home girl.
This made Zhou Wenye, who wanted to win her heart, very anxious. No matter how many tricks he had, he was helpless because Huo Shichu never went out. A good cook cannot cook without rice.
What's more, he lost a lot of money in order to shut up the man who was sent to the police station by Huo Shichu, so he was even more anxious to get Huo Shichu.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. Huo Shichu finally went out that day. She went to the supermarket near the community to buy daily necessities. The supermarket was not far away, and Huo Shichu didn't have a car, so she walked there.
Zhou Wen had waited for so many days and finally got an opportunity, which he naturally could not miss. So he drove his car, pretended to be careless, and was about to crash into Huo Shichu!
Of course, he thought he knew his limits and didn't really want to hurt Huo Shichu, but he wanted to fake a scene where he almost bumped into her "accidentally". It would be best if Huo Shichu had some minor injuries, such as abrasions or fractures. Then he would have an excuse to send her to the hospital, and then take the opportunity to express his guilt and want to take care of her to develop feelings with her "naturally".
People with evil intentions will always try to achieve their goals through crooked means and never think about taking the right path.
Zhou Wen also wanted to develop feelings with Huo Shichu, so what other methods could he use? Why did he have to use such shady and unpresentable means, as if nothing could be done without using such means.
Huo Shichu keenly heard the strange sound of wind and brakes behind her. Before she had time to think, her tempered soul controlled her body and flexibly dodged the car that was heading towards her.
When she dodged to the side with a few light leaps, the car crashed straight into the iron railings on the roadside, breaking several of them before it stopped, scaring the people around them.
Huo Shichu originally thought that this was just an accident. The driver of the car might not be skilled enough, was too panicked or the brakes failed. But when the driver got out of the car, Huo Shichu immediately no longer thought it was an accident.
Because the driver was Zhou Wenye, how could it be such a coincidence? The man that Mrs. Huo tried every means to force her to marry happened to be the one who almost hit her. Huo Shichu didn't think it was just a coincidence.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Miss, you are not hurt, are you?" Zhou Wen also pretended to be frightened, walked up to Huo Shichu, and asked nervously and worriedly.
