Chapter 43 Beauty is a Curse



There has been a saying since ancient times that beautiful women can bring disaster.

A girl from such an extraordinary background will attract all sorts of trouble and danger wherever she goes.

Song Ziqing's appearance, unique temperament, and flamboyant personality made her extremely attractive to both men and women.

Lin Chengyu had worried about this sweet trouble, but when she thought of her precious space, she knew that she had the ability to protect herself.

Now that the two of them had arrived in an unfamiliar place, he felt a surge of relief that all his gold bars were stored in the space inside her ring.

In this way, his following Song Ziqing wouldn't be considered him living off a woman.

At least he paid for the meal.

Money gives people courage.

"How about we look around for a time tunnel back to Hainan?"

It was late at night, and Lin Chengyu held Song Ziqing's hand tightly. She searched for a long time with the flashlight she found in the ring space, but still couldn't find the way home.

The two were exhausted and had no choice but to give up.

As Song Ziqing and his companion surveyed their surroundings, they discovered that they were on the edge of a not-too-high mountain. Looking down, they saw a city with twinkling lights, which looked quite similar to what they had seen in the 1960s.

The two guessed that they had neither gone back to the past nor to the future, but were still in the 1960s, and had just found a city, and a city that was more developed than China.

After all, so many lights represent popularity.

Song Ziqing had been to Hong Kong before. As the two of them walked through the mountains, she had a vague guess in her mind, so she said directly to him, "Xiaoyu, I guess we've arrived in Hong Kong! There's actually a time tunnel in our yard that leads to Hong Kong!"

"Really? This is really Hong Kong? I thought we were in some city abroad!"

Lin Chengyu actually had some guesses. After all, although his soul couldn't leave Shanghai in his previous life, he could go to the library to read books and learn about computers from those people. For a period of time, he sat in the computer room for a whole year. During that year, he saw the whole world through the computer.

However, he didn't say it out loud. He hadn't yet decided whether to tell her that after he died young in his previous life, his soul wandered for decades. Just thinking about it made him worried that he would scare Song Ziqing away.

He noticed that the girl's courage fluctuated.

When they're brave, they can go to the black market to do business all by themselves; when they're timid, they can scream in terror at the sight of even a tiny snake.

"Hong Kong isn't actually that far from Hainan Island. Even without a time tunnel, we'll be able to take a boat back in the future! However, our sudden disappearance from home will surely worry our relatives and friends."

Especially my uncle's family, they've always been very good to me. If we suddenly disappear like this, and they can't find us, they might even report us missing to the police. What will we do then?!

Song Ziqing genuinely thought this guy only knew about Shanghai and Hainan and hadn't been to other places, so he kept talking to him about Hong Kong.

She never imagined that Lin Chengyu's soul could exist for so long after he died in the 1980s.

Unexpectedly, as long as she was by his side, he was willing to accept either Hainan or Hong Kong.

Moreover, compared to Hainan, he felt that Hong Kong was more suitable for his future development.

"Actually, it might be better for us to stay in Hong Kong than in Hainan!"

Thinking about this, he felt a surge of excitement. If he could really stay in Hong Kong, he and Song Ziqing would have much more freedom in their lives.

At that time, people will not only be able to travel freely in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other places, but also travel freely to countries around the world.

Hong Kong is a free trade city and a financial trading city, which is more suitable for these two special talents.

Song Ziqing had actually thought about this as well. After all, Hong Kong had received hundreds of thousands of refugees from the mainland in the past year, so two more people wouldn't make a difference.

But when she thought of her parents, she was filled with worry: "My parents are still in mainland China! What will happen to them if I stay in Hong Kong? In my previous life, they didn't live to return to the city; they were persecuted to death in the countryside. Just thinking about it makes me very worried."

"We can pay someone to visit them! Although there is no free movement between Hong Kong and the mainland now, there are still many people traveling between the two places. As long as we pay, we can find someone to visit your parents."

"If that doesn't work, we could try contacting them on the Myanmar border and bringing them directly from China to Hong Kong. Wouldn't that be better for them?"

Lin Chengyu was desperate to stay in Hong Kong, and he activated his brainwaves like never before, coming up with two solutions.

Song Ziqing shook his head again and said, "Your methods are not safe enough. Even if I find someone to help me look after my parents, they can't solve the fundamental problem for them."

Going to the Myanmar border to pick them up is even more dangerous. Do you know that Myanmar is a warlord country? There has been constant warfare there for years. It's not a place for ordinary people; if they go there, they might not come back!

"Alright, let's hurry down the mountain. We need to find a place to rest, otherwise we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight!"

Lin Chengyu didn't try to persuade her any further. After all, the situation between the two of them was still unclear, and no matter how much she thought about it, she had to consider the actual circumstances.

If they really can't go back to Hainan, Lin Chengyu's solution isn't without merit; all she needs to do is spend the money.

And the last thing she lacks now is money.

Moreover, if Hong Kong were a city that allowed capitalists to exist, and the two of them really stayed in Hong Kong, the best path would be to become merchants.

When you have money, you'll have social status. You can spend more money to hire people to protect your parents or bring them to Hong Kong. There shouldn't be too many problems then.

"We don't have ID cards now, where are we going to stay? I'm not going to any dangerous places!"

Song Ziqing knew that Hong Kong was very chaotic in the 1960s. Triads were rampant, and even the police were mostly corrupt. The entire power structure served the rich. Those with money and power dominated Hong Kong, while those without money or power could only exist at the very bottom.

A beautiful woman like her could easily run into thugs or hooligans if she's not careful; just thinking about it makes me very worried.

"We'll just take a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel later. It's one of the best and safest hotels in Hong Kong. We'll just tell them we came out on a boat trip and were robbed as soon as we got off. They stole our wallets and documents."
