《Mr. Qi, Your Cover At Risk》


 Chapter 1

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Gloomy dark clouds covered the sky above Banyan City. It was filled with the sound of thunder as if signaling that a storm was coming.


    The hospital in Banyan City was hustling and bustling with people. Patients, medical staff, and family members all had uneasy expressions on their faces. At this moment, the sound of rushed footsteps accompanied by a gurney appeared amidst the chaos. Soon, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the person on the gurney, a young girl.


    At this very moment, blood still oozed out from the wounds on her wrist as well as her forehead. Her face was pale and her brows were tightly knitted together. It seemed that her condition worsened.


    ¡°How did this little girl get injured to this extent?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, her blood flow doesn¡¯t seem to be stopping.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that she committed suicide?¡±


    The crowd continued to discuss their theories. A man¡¯s gaze fell on the couple behind the medical staff. He thought to himself, ¡®Why do I feel that man looks familiar? It¡¯s like I¡¯ve seen him somewhere before.¡¯


    The man who could not recall who they were for a moment looked at the group of people passing by him with a puzzled expression. It was not until they disappeared around the corner that he remembered the man¡¯s identity and could not help but speak up.


    ¡°He¡¯s the CEO of the Song Corporation.¡±


    When the person beside him heard this, he bumped his arm. ¡°Is that true?¡±


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. My sister works at the Song Corporation. I¡¯ve seen their CEO before.¡±


    When he said this, the man¡¯s face revealed a proud expression. When he felt the envious gazes of others that eavesdropped, he became even happier.


    ¡°Quick, push Miss Song into the emergency room. Xiaomin, quickly get the blood bag.¡± The doctor in charge of the emergency department, Zhang Wenqing, ordered the people around him in a composed manner. It was obvious that he was familiar with this kind of situation.


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Wang Xiaomin nodded, turned around, and ran.


    In the emergency room, Zhang Wenqing looked at Song Yayin on the gurney and shook his head. She had always made him feel like this. Why did he have to suffer when he was not the one suffering?


    He could not help but sigh when he thought of the thin and pale-faced girl he had seen before.


    ¡°Doctor Zhang, there are no more blood bags in the blood bank.¡± Wang Xiaomin looked at Zhang Wenqing as he panted.


    ¡°No more? How could there be no more blood bags?¡± Zhang Wenqing raised his voice as he abruptly turned around.


    Watching Zhang Wenqing like this, Wang Xiaomin could not help but shrink her head and look at Song Yayin with dissatisfaction.


    ¡°The last time Ms Song accidentally injured her major artery, she lost too much blood and needed a blood transfusion. The whole supply was used back then.¡±


    When Zhang Wenqing heard this, he pressed the space between his eyebrows and took a few deep breaths.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t manage to collect more blood bags.¡±


    After he spoke, Wang Xiaomin was full of anger. She did not care who was around and just kept on blabbering.


    ¡°You know Rh blood types well enough. There aren¡¯t many people in the world that can donate their rare blood. You know Ms Song frequently comes here. She¡¯s injured herself today and might even come tomorrow as well. The blood bags in the hospital all went into her body, but she didn¡¯t cherish it one bit didn¡¯t she? I don¡¯t know if what she did was intentional, all I know is that she keeps taking all the blood stored for blood transfusions.¡±


    The emergency room was silent. Everyone was stunned. It was obvious that they were afraid.


    Wang Xiaomin was really daring. Although everyone knew about this and understood it very well, the main person she talked about was lying here right now. If this person woke up, it would be troublesome for everyone around.


    Zhang Wenqing disapprovingly shook his head and replied, ¡°Wang Xiaomin, do you know what you¡¯re saying right now? As a nurse, your job is to save people and not care about anything else.¡±


    How could he not expect twists and turns in this? However, it was not something that they could ignore just because they wanted to.


    Outside the door, Song Zhilin and his wife sat anxiously on their chairs as they stared at the operating theater.


    Suddenly, the door of the emergency room was opened, and the two of them instantly stood up to greet the doctor.


    ¡°How is Yinyin?¡±


    Zhang Wenqing looked at the two of them and thought of Song Yayin, she was in urgent need of a blood transfusion. He could only rely on CEO Song for this matter. However, he knew that that girl was going to suffer again.


    ¡°Ms Song is in urgent need of a blood transfusion right now. CEO Song, we need Ms Lu¡¯s help.¡±


    Song Zhilin nodded. He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number. ¡°Where are you now? Come to the hospital immediately. Yayin needs blood.¡±


    After saying that, he did not even wait for the other party to answer and directly hung up the phone.


    The girl who was currently working in the bookstore looked at the phone in her hand in a daze. She thought, ¡®Here it comes again. Why was it always like this? Song Yayin, can¡¯t you give me a break already?¡¯


    ¡°Jinqi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Manager Ai Qing looked worried when she saw her furrowed eyebrows.


    Lu Jinqi returned to her senses and smiled. She looked at Ai Qing apologetically. ¡°Something happened. I need to go to the hospital.¡±


    When Ai Qing heard this, her eyes softened in understanding. At first, she agreed to let Lu Jinqi work here because she thought that the young lady was quite an adorable person. Later on, when she saw her at the hospital, she was a little surprised, who knew that she would only find out about the young lady¡¯s background after seeing her a few times.


    Lu Jinqi placed the books on the table, took off her work apron, and was prepared to leave.


    When Ai Qing saw her like this, she grabbed her arm and tapped her forehead in disappointment.


    ¡°You can¡¯t go. You have to take care of yourself. Look at your body. You don¡¯t look like a seventeen-year-old girl at all. If you continue doing this, you¡¯ll die.¡±


    At the thought of this, Ai Qing saw the smile on Lu Jinqi¡¯s face brighten, and her heart instantly felt stifled. Even her eyes turned red.


    Lu Jinqi patted her hands to comfort her. Her face had a big smile and the words she said felt like she was numb and desperate.


    ¡°But I have no choice. Thank you for your worries. Thank you for your comfort. You really make me feel like there would come a day when others would start worrying for me instead.¡±


    After saying that, Ai Qing was stunned. How could Lu Jinqi not understand something that even she understood? Looking at Lu Jinqi¡¯s departing back, Ai Qing could not help but silently cry. She thought that this might be the last time she would see Lu Jinqi.


    As time passed, the man¡¯s face at the entrance of the emergency room turned darker and darker. The tense atmosphere slowly built up as time went by. The people standing at the side dared not to breathe until Lu Jinqi appeared.


    ¡°President Song, Mrs Song.¡± Lu Jinqi looked at the two of them calmly.


    ¡°D*mn girl, hurry up and go in.¡± The woman stepped forward and pulled Lu Jinqi¡¯s wrist, pushing her forward.


    Zhang Wenqing, who witnessed all of this, frowned and had to compose himself before speaking again.


    ¡°Ms Lu, sorry for the trouble, again.¡±


    He was faced with only silence as a reply.


    Lu Jinqi thought back to the first time she came here for a blood transfusion. Back then, she tried to refuse, but now, she did not even fight back.


    This was human nature, cold and selfish.


    When the people in the emergency room saw Lu Jinqi, their lips quivered. They wanted to say something, but they did not know how to say it.


    Lu Jinqi sat there, watching her blood flow from her body into Song Yayin¡¯s body through the tube. She looked calm and numb to the whole procedure.


    She could not remember how many times she had given a blood transfusion. She only felt that this road seemed to have no end.


    As the blood flowed away, Lu Jinqi¡¯s already pale face somehow turned whiter. She felt like she could not hold on any longer. She wanted to speak, but she did not have any strength.


    ¡°What should we do? We¡¯re still short of 100 milliliters. If we continue on, I¡¯m afraid Ms Lu will die,¡± Wang Xiaomin anxiously spoke up.


    Zhang Wenqing dismissively looked at Lu Jinqi and turned his head away. ¡°Continue.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± Wang Xiaomin wanted to say more, but was shocked by Zhang Wenqing¡¯s solemn expression.


    ¡°I said, continue.¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    Lu Jinqi felt as though all the blood in her body was about to be sucked dry. She even began to feel chills all over her body.


    In the end, she could not hold on any longer and passed out. The moment she passed out, she thought she saw a ball of light, warm and comfortable. She tirelessly reached out as a last attempt at survival.

 Chapter 2

    Two days have passed since Lu Jinqi woke up. At that moment, she lay on the hospital bed surveying her surroundings. The pungent smell of disinfectant made her nose scrunch up in disapproval.


    She did not expect to survive after being sucked dry.


    According to what her memories could recall, she was named Lu Jinqi.


    She had always been an orphan. Ever since she was born, she had been in the Welfare Institute. Due to her being timid and cowardly, she had always been bullied and never once thought to resist. The director of the Welfare Institute never cared about these small matters, after all.


    Until one day, a group of people came to the Welfare Institute. They said that the hospital would provide a free medical check-up. When the director heard this, she was so happy that she could not find her bearings. She never suspected there to be more than meets the eye.


    When that group of people made all the children give a small amount of blood into a tube, she never suspected anything.


    She never expected that two days later, Song Zhilin and his wife would specifically request to adopt Lu Jinqi.


    Obviously, the director knew about their identities. Even though she was puzzled as to why they chose Lu Jinqi, she still called her over and told her that she would have a new home in the future. At the same time, she told her to be obedient.


    When that happened, the younger girl foolishly thought that she really gained a new family. She never expected to step into a bottomless abyss of torture.


    Ever since the first blood transfusion, the young her understood that her role was to provide blood for the daughter of this family at any time, Song Yayin. Later on, when she grew up, she wanted to resist, but Song Zhilin warned and threatened her. She wanted to call the police, but she could not.


    From then on, she knew that no matter what she did, she would never be able to escape the Song family.


    Until yesterday, with Song Yayin¡¯s accident, Lu Jinqi became a blood transfusion tool yet again. However, the original Lu Jinqi had died from this.


    Lu Jinqi struggled to get up from the bed. When she felt her injured body tremble, she chuckled.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°Hm¡­¡± In the bathroom, Lu Jinqi looked at the person in the mirror with disdain. In the mirror, her long black hair was disheveled, but her seductive eyes still popped. There was no blood on her delicate face when she smiled.


    Since the new Lu Jinqi had taken over this body, she wanted to settle the score with that Song family. Otherwise, how could she face the poor little girl back then in the orphanage when the time came.


    Just as she left the ward, Lu Jinqi heard a familiar voice from next door. Her eyes instantly lit up from the sound.


    ¡°Yinyin, how many times have I told you? You can mess with that girl if you want, but don¡¯t mess up your own body. Look at how dangerous you¡¯ve cut it this time.¡± The woman¡¯s voice came from inside the ward.


    Lu Jinqi stood outside the door. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows. This family was really shameless.


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve already told you before. As long as she¡¯s here, I¡¯ll be fine. Look, I¡¯m fine now, aren¡¯t I?¡± Her delicate voice sounded from the back.


    From outside, she could see the girl pulling the woman¡¯s sleeve and acting coquettishly.


    The woman raised her hand to stroke the girl¡¯s head, a loving smile appearing on her graceful face.


    ¡°Yinyin, you have to remember that no matter how much you hate her, you can¡¯t let her die.¡±


    The woman reminded her worriedly. After all, she¡¯s a mobile blood bank that we¡¯ve spent so much effort to find. If she died, what would happen to you?¡±


    ¡°I know, I just can¡¯t stand her face.¡± Song Yayin pursed her lips as she spoke. How could she tolerate an orphan who looked even more exquisite than her?


    Hearing this, the woman smiled. As a parent, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking? After all, she was her own daughter. As long as no one died, it was fine.


    ¡°Just because that person is good-looking, you shouldn¡¯t be jealous.¡±


    Lu Jinqi opened the door and walked in slowly, sitting on the sofa unceremoniously.


    Seeing Lu Jinqi¡¯s face, a flash of jealousy flashed across Song Yayin¡¯s eyes, but no words were said out loud. ¡®If only I had your face.¡¯


    ¡°Why¡¯re you here?¡± The woman looked at her and frowned, the disgust on her face was clear.


    Lu Jinqi leaned back and placed her legs on the coffee table in front of her, playing with her phone.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m here to see if the pig that used my blood is awake.¡±


    Hearing this, the mother and daughter in the room understood that Lu Jinqi was belittling them.


    The woman was furious, without thinking, she stepped forward and slapped her.


    However, before her hand could touch Lu Jinqi, she grabbed it. Lu Jinqi stood up and patted the woman¡¯s face, her eyes were cold.


    ¡°Mrs. Song, it¡¯s not good to get so easily angered for someone your age.¡±


    After saying that, she let go of the woman¡¯s hand and grabbed a tissue to wipe it.


    The woman was shocked by Lu Jinqi¡¯s action. She felt as though someone had a chokehold over her.


    How could Lu Jinqi have such a terrifying gaze? The woman shook her head. She must have been mistaken.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, are you trying to rebel against us?¡±


    Lu Jinqi revealed a playful smile, it was as though she had just heard something funny.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk like your family has a fortune for me to inherit.¡±


    Song Yayin was sitting on the bed. Seeing Lu Jinqi rudely reply to her mother like that, she picked up the cup on the table and threw it towards her.


    Seeing her actions, Lu Jinqi wanted to dodge it, but when her gaze landed on the woman, she instantly changed her mind.


    She pulled the older woman over, and the cup smashed into the older woman¡¯s face. It then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.


    ¡°Ouch, it hurts,¡± Lu Jinqi said as she looked at the broken glass on the ground.


    The pain on the older woman¡¯s face made the woman cry. The place where the cup collided with her face began to bruise. It was clear how much strength Song Yayin had used.


    Song Yayin did not expect to hit her mother, so she was at a loss.


    Seeing Lu Jinqi beside her, unfazed, she became even angrier. She was clearly aiming for her, but that orphan actually dared to dodge the attack!


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, did you just dodge that?¡± Song Yayin pointed at Lu Jinqi in a fluster, her eyes filled with flames.


    ¡°Did I dodge what? Didn¡¯t Mrs Song generously block it for me?¡±


    Lu Jinqi jokingly replied, but there was no expression on her face.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, what are you trying to do? Don¡¯t forget whose house you¡¯re living in now.¡±


    The woman covered her face and glared at Lu Jinqi.


    Her face was injured, so now she could not go out for a while. She had originally made plans with her friends to get a facial tomorrow, but how could she have the courage to go out with a damaged face like that?


    ¡°I said that I came here to see a pig. I just walked out from the gates of Hell. That was the only thing I did and nothing else. What do you guys think I did?¡±


    This woman was not wrong at all. The past Lu Jinqi still lived with the Song family, and was owned by the Song family. It seemed like she had plans to go back.


    The older woman was speechless. ¡°If you haven¡¯t done anything, then where did the injury on my face come from!¡±


    Seeing this, Lu Jinqi curled her lips and turned to leave.


    As expected, the sound of objects breaking and the woman¡¯s angry voice came from behind.


    Standing at the hospital entrance, Lu Jinqi looked at the account balance on her phone and could not help but shake her forehead.


    It seemed that she had to solve her money problem first.

 Chapter 3

    After leaving the hospital, Lu Jinqi returned to the Song family¡¯s home and took out all her documents.


    Then, she went back to the bookstore where the past Lu Jinqi used to work in. She casually flipped through the documents on the table with one hand and occasionally picked out a small cake to eat with the other.


    A gentle light fell on her body, giving her a sense of gentleness.


    There were not many people in the bookstore, so Lu Jinqi¡¯s appearance had attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Hey, look, that young lady is so pretty,¡± the girl said in a low voice. She tugged at her companion¡¯s sleeve and pointed excitedly.


    The girl beside her was reading when her best friend tugged at her sleeve. Her expression turned ugly as she looked at Lu Jinqi¡¯s figure.


    What greeted her eyes was Lu Jinqi¡¯s beautiful glow.


    Everyone had a heart for beauty. Seeing her face, the girl¡¯s ugly face was filled with excitement. ¡°Is such a pretty young lady real?¡±


    The two girls completely forgot why they were here and watched as Lu Jinqi continued to do what she was doing.


    At that moment, a Weibo user with the ID Sweet Tomato posted a video, and the main focus in the video was Lu Jinqi.


    [Sweet Tomato: Look at the treasure I found today.]


    Sweet Tomato was a famous blogger with one million fans. The moment he posted on Weibo, many people immediately commented on it.


    [Did the blogger say the treasure was the bookstore or the beautiful young lady?]


    [I bet 50 cents that it would be the young lady.]


    [I don¡¯t care about either, I want to eat that little cake.]


    [Woah, how can the young lady look so good when she eats?]


    [Why is it that every time I eat, it¡¯s a terrible sight.]


    [Sweet Tomato, you¡¯ve changed. You have to know that you¡¯re already a mature blogger, so I¡¯ll give you one minute to reply. I want to know all the information about the young lady!]


    [Haha, the comment above is making me die of laughter.]


    Of course, for people to like this video, there would obviously be people who would dislike it. Not long after, a group of weird comments appeared.


    [Looking at her, she must have undergone plastic surgery.]


    [That¡¯s right, she¡¯s a plastic surgery doll.]


    [A good self-media blogger actually became a h*rny dog. Disgusting. Unsubscribed.]


    Seeing those comments, Sweet Tomato was so angry that he laughed out of spite. He immediately retorted those comments on the spot.


    [You only think other girls have plastic surgery because you¡¯re ugly, so why don¡¯t you blame your mom on your looks instead? And those who said they wanted to unsubscribe, thank you. You know where the exits are.]


    When his Weibo post was posted, everyone liked it. The comments were all the same, and it turned into a funny outcome.


    Meanwhile, the main character, who was the center of the conversation, was currently receiving love and care from the store manager


    ¡°Jinqi, I¡¯m telling you, you can¡¯t do this anymore.


    ¡°This time, you¡¯re lucky you survived. What about next time?


    ¡°You won¡¯t be so lucky every time this happens. If this gets too far, you can go to the police¡­¡±


    Ai Qing spoke earnestly, she looked at Lu Jinqi with a broken heart.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s hand that was flipping through the book paused. The voice beside her continued, showing no signs of stopping.


    Did she forget that this was a bookstore? She had to be quiet. Right now, the entire store rang with her voice.


    Ai Qing saw that Lu Jinqi did not say a single word despite her saying so much. She did not even look at her. Her curiosity could not help but be piqued as to what book she was reading, so much so to be ignored by her.


    She reached out to pick up the book. When she saw the words The Cultivation of Scum, the corner of her mouth twitched.


    How could her bookstore have such a weird book? Was this to teach bad children?


    No, she decided that she should confiscate it.


    Lu Jinqi sat on the chair calmly as she watched Ai Qing take the book away. She saw every expression on her face, and a hint of a smile flashed across her eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯re¡­¡±


    Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Ai Qing interrupted her. ¡°How can a child read this?¡± Seeing Lu Jinqi¡¯s innocent gaze, she instantly felt even more guilty. ¡°Hey, were you even listening to me just now?¡±


    This change of topic was indeed a little awkward. However, Lu Jinqi did not expose her. She just nodded to show that she listened.


    ¡°You sure you remember? Then tell me what I said just now,¡± Ai Qing replied in disbelief.


    ¡°A child can¡¯t read this,¡± Lu Jinqi glanced at the book. Her meaning was self-evident.


    Seeing the smile on Lu Jinqi¡¯s face, how could Ai Qing not know that she was doing it on purpose? She raised her hand and ruffled Lu Jinqi¡¯s hair in annoyance. Only when her hair was tangled and messy did she let go.


    With a head full of tangled hair, Lu Jinqi only blinked as a reply. She was extremely obedient.


    Seeing this, Ai Qing felt that she had gone a little overboard. She started to blame herself for her actions. How could she do this to such an obedient child?


    The two girls who witnessed this scene were so excited that their faces turned red. ¡°She¡¯s so obedient, just like a cat.¡±


    ¡°Right, look at that hair, I really want to untangle it with a comb for her.¡±


    Hearing this, Ai Qing looked at Lu Jinqi¡¯s hair and felt a little restless.


    It felt really good to do that.


    Lu Jinqi had just tidied up her hair when she heard this. She raised her head and met Ai Qing¡¯s eyes.


    Ai Qing averted her gaze and smiled unnaturally. ¡°Jinqi, do you still want to eat the cake?¡±


    Seeing her like this, Lu Jinqi looked at the half-eaten cake on the table and nodded.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After getting the answer she wanted, Ai Qing turned around and left without hesitation.


    She looked like she was running away in a panicked state.


    Lu Jinqi took her phone and slowly followed behind her, her eyes full of smiles.


    When Ai Qing came to the bar counter, she patted her chest. After she calmed down, she took a piece of cake and prepared to leave. However, when she turned around, she saw Lu Jinqi standing there. She was so shocked that the cake in her hand almost fell off.


    Fortunately, Lu Jinqi reached out to steady the manager. She took the cake with her slender hand and took a bite. ¡°Thank you, Qing.¡±


    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s good that you like it,¡± Ai Qing whispered with a red face.


    The way Jinqi ate was a little alluring.


    Lu Jinqi did not understand why her manager¡¯s face had turned red, but she did not plan to ask.


    ¡°Qing, I won¡¯t be coming back in the future.¡±


    Lu Jinqi was grateful to Ai Qing. After all, she was the only person who gave warmth and care to who Lu Jinqi used to be, so Lu Jinqi did not treat her coldly.


    When she suddenly heard this, Ai Qing was stunned. She looked at her silently, not knowing what to say.


    The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Lu Jinqi was someone who did not like to engage in conversations, so when there was no reply, she turned around to leave.


    However, after a while, Ai Qing¡¯s voice came from behind. It was a little soft, and if one was not paying attention, they might not have heard her.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Lu Jinqi did not turn back. She pushed the door open and saw that it had started to rain heavily outside. Just like that, she walked into the rain.


    Ai Qing stood there. When Lu Jinqi turned around, the manager heard what she said before she left. ¡°I have to do what I have to do.¡±


    She was not st*pid. Ever since Lu Jinqi came to the shop today, she had felt the change in her. In the past, she had been gentle like water, but now, she felt distant, like a brewing storm.


    She understood that the gentle girl was at death¡¯s door yesterday, knocking. Thinking about the change now, Ai Qing smiled. That was considered a good change, right?


    However, when she smiled, tears started to fall. It should not have been like this.


    When the customers in the bookstore saw the manager laughing and crying at the same time, they were a little worried.


    ¡°Yo, Qing, you alright?¡± The customer who spoke was also a regular at the bookstore.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just very happy right now.¡± Ai Qing wiped her tears. Her tone could not hide her happiness.


    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re alright.¡±

    The heavy rain caught everyone off guard, and everyone ran to find shelter. Only Lu Jinqi strolled in the rain, completely unconcerned about being drenched.


    The people in their cars not far away saw everything.


    It was interesting.


    The passenger¡¯s door was opened, and a man quickly sat inside. Seeing his wet coat, he started to complain, ¡°The rain came so suddenly, this coat is ruined.¡±


    The person in the back seat heard his complaint but did not bother looking at him. Instead, the person in the driver¡¯s seat smiled.


    ¡°Master Qi, you could take off your coat if you don¡¯t like it.¡±


    After a while, Qi Ye took off his coat and threw it to the side. He knew that the guy in the back seat with him was a germaphobe.


    The driver turned around and saw the germaphobe staring out the window. He did not know what he saw, but there was a slight curve on his lips.


    ¡®Am I seeing things? Did Si Jingyun just smile?¡¯ Qi Ye widened his eyes in disbelief.


    Perhaps his gaze was too intense, but Si Jingyun¡¯s deep voice sounded, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m seeing this.¡±


    His words scared Qi Ye so much that he immediately retracted his gaze. He was indeed seeing things. How could someone like Si Jingyun, who even threatened his good friend, smile?


    ¡°Master Jing, may I ask what you are looking at?¡±


    Qi Ye followed his gaze and saw an empty intersection.


    Si Jingyun averted his gaze. ¡°Nothing, let¡¯s go.¡±


    The car quickly drove away. Qi Ye was a little suspicious of Si Jingyun¡¯s reply, but he soon forgot about it.


    ¡­


    Lu Jinqi quickly changed into a new set of clothes and left the hotel wearing a mask.


    ¡°Open a spot.¡±


    The girl was so focused on watching a drama that she stood up in a fluster when she heard someone.


    The person in front of her wore a white hoodie with a hat covering her head. She wore a black mask that only exposed her eyes.


    Even so, it could not hide the stunning aura on her. Could it be that some celebrity had sneaked out to surf the internet? The girl¡¯s mind was wide open.


    Lu Jinqi lowered her eyes. Her slender fingers tapped on the bar counter, making a crisp sound.


    ¡°Huh, what did you say?¡± The girl who had returned to reality blushed and asked shyly.


    Lu Jinqi pushed her ID card over and repeated in a flat tone, ¡°Open a spot.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The girl hurriedly took the ID card and glanced at the photo on the card. She thought to herself, ¡®He wasn¡¯t lying, she really is super pretty.¡¯


    Seeing that the girl was stunned, Lu Jinqi¡¯s face revealed a helpless expression. ¡°ID card.¡±


    When the girl heard the voice, she realized that she was distracted once again. She quickly scanned it and returned the ID card. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±


    Lu Jinqi nodded. She put away the ID card and found a machine in the corner.


    Seeing that Lu Jinqi was not angry, the girl blew a rainbow in her heart before sitting back down to continue watching her drama.


    Lu Jinqi turned on the computer and quickly typed on the keyboard. All kinds of numbers appeared on the screen, and then a letter M and then K. Then, the M.K. website appeared in front of her.


    Ordinary people might not know about this website, but almost everyone who studied computer science knew that M.K. was a haven for hackers all over the world. There were all kinds of powerful hackers who entered M.K. that could program and write code.


    However, if one wanted to enter, they would first have to complete M.Ks website login test. Unfortunately, many people have failed this test.


    After the test, they would become ordinary members of the website. Only by taking orders and exchanging points would their levels rise.


    Lu Jinqi sat in front of the computer and looked at the scrolling rules of the website. She touched her chin thoughtfully. This was interesting.


    The dim light on the computer screen illuminated Lu Jinqi¡¯s face. Her fingers quickly pressed on the keyboard, and the characters on the computer began to appear automatically, cracking the login test.


    It turned out that from the very beginning, Lu Jinqi had created a program to automatically crack any website. After she finished cracking it, the computer screen changed again, and a forum-like page appeared.


    Time, the M.K website was in full swing.


    [Netherworld: Why haven¡¯t I seen Old Cat recently?]


    [Spirit Fox: You didn¡¯t hear, he hacked into Sijin¡¯s company, and now people are trying to catch him.]


    [Blue Bird: Haha! He kicked himself in the *ss this time, didn¡¯t he?]


    [Old Cat: Spirit Fox, did you betray me? I recently changed my location, and they knew where I was. So it was you who helped him behind the scenes, wasn¡¯t it?]


    [Old Cat: That guy, Skinner, he¡¯s on to me. He doesn¡¯t even care about the company anymore. It was just some fun hacking. Is there a need for him to go to that extent?]


    [Spirit Fox: Thanks, I¡¯m putting my money to good use. Old Cat, you might as well go back with Skinner.]


    [Old Cat: Eat *ss.]


    [White Dragon: Old Cat, do you need help? As long as the money is in place, leave that guy, Skinner, to me.]


    [Blue Bird: The money-grubber is online!]


    When the rest of the hackers online saw the big shots appear, they dared not to say anything.


    At that moment, a statement caught everyone¡¯s attention.


    [Order accepted, 100% success.]


    That¡¯s right, that was Lu Jinqi. When she saw the conversation between Spirit Fox and the others, she knew that this could be the opportune moment to earn some cash.


    When Old Cat and the others saw such an arrogant statement, they subconsciously opened Lu Jinqi¡¯s profile. The words Ordinary Member were clearly written, and they were instantly speechless.


    [Old Cat: Yo, you¡¯re pretty arrogant. ]


    [White Dragon: You dare pry into my business? You¡¯re quite brave.]


    [Spirit Fox: I want to meet you.]


    When she saw this, Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows, and the screen on her computer started to glitch uncontrollably.


    Lu Jinqi had a faint smile on her face, and there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes as she calmly started to fight back.


    After a short while, the computer returned to normal.


    On an island on the other side of the ocean, a man with a chicken nest on his head looked at the destroyed computer in disbelief. How was this possible?


    However, the computer in front of him was evidence that the other person was really powerful.


    [Spirit Fox: I¡¯ve shut myself off.]


    Old Cat and the others witnessed something they could not understand. Spirit Fox had actually lost. This was too unbelievable.


    [J: Thank you for your advice.]


    Once these four words came out, Spirit Fox choked on his blood. She was provoking him, right?


    [Old Cat: I have a bill here. Help me not let Skinner have it. Accept it.]


    [J: 5 million, transfer it to this account.]


    Lu Jinqi thought about her past bank account number and sent it out.


    5 million was nothing to Old Cat. Not long after, Lu Jinqi heard the sound of a text message on her phone.


    She opened it and saw that the money had been wired into her account.


    [Old Cat: Done.]


    [J: Got it.]


    After typing two words, Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were focused on the computer again, and her hands did not stop moving. She slowly hacked into Sijin computer¡¯s database and destroyed all the information about Old Cat. At the same time, she also created a few virtual addresses to cover the reallocation of Old Cat.


    Old Cat, who had thought that he would have to wait for a long time, soon saw Lu Jinqi appear again.


    [J: Done, I¡¯ve even covered up the location. Consider it a greeting gift.]


    These words stung like a rolling snowball, slowly accumulating.


    Everyone on the forum was silent for a moment before it exploded with comments.


    [Foot Picker: What the f*ck, that was quick!.]


    [Old King: J¡¯s method is wild.]


    [Sheep: God of revelation, I worship you.]


    Lu Jinqi had no reaction to the commotion on the forum. She just left a sentence and turned off her computer.


    [J: Look for me to fulfill your requests.]

 Chapter 5

    For the next few days, Lu Jinqi stayed in the hotel, hacking away to earn some money.


    Lu Jinqi lazily sat on the sofa, controlling the game character with both hands, skillfully shooting the other party in the head.


    Just then, a call came in. Seeing the caller, Lu Jinqi did not even blink and directly hung up.


    Song Zhilin¡¯s face darkened when he saw his call get hung up. The servants who saw what happened dared not to breathe.


    ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Song Yayin had just come downstairs when she saw Song Zhilin¡¯s angry expression. She could not help but ask.


    When he saw his daughter, Song Zhilin¡¯s expression eased up a little. ¡°How are you? Are you feeling better?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m much better now. Thank you for your concern.¡± Song Yayin smiled sweetly and replied gently.


    Song Zhilin tried to call her again, but the call kept getting denied. He narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Earlier, Yayin had mentioned that Lu Jinqi had changed. Not only did she run into her ward and say a lot of nasty things, she even hurt Shu Min. At that time, he did not believe her. After all, she was an extremely timid person.


    Now, she actually dared to hang up on him. It seemed like she had indeed changed.


    Song Yayin sat by the side and played with her phone. In fact, she had been observing Song Zhilin¡¯s actions.


    Her eyebrows moved slightly, but soon, she pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°Dad, are you calling Jinqi again?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Song Zhilin nodded.


    As soon as she said that, Song Yayin¡¯s face instantly turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body could not help but tremble.


    ¡°Dad, does Jinqi blame me for everything?¡±


    Seeing his daughter like this, Song Zhilin became somewhat at a loss. He pulled her into his arms and clumsily patted her back. ¡°How could it be? She wouldn¡¯t dare do such a thing.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°There are no buts. Her duty is to provide you with blood. She understands that.¡± Song Zhilin interrupted her, his words were filled with sincerity for his daughter.


    Song Yayin lowered her head and internally scoffed at her dad¡¯s comfort.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll give her a call.¡± After saying that, she picked up her phone. Seeing that Song Zhilin did not object, she pressed the call button.


    Just as Lu Jinqi ended the game, her phone rang again. She raised her eyes. It was them. She threw her phone on the bed and turned on the speakerphone. Song Yayin¡¯s sobbing voice sounded.


    ¡°Jinqi, where are you? I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±


    For a moment, Lu Jinqi had goosebumps all over her body. ¡®If I¡¯m guilty for something, please let the law punish me instead of letting a lunatic torture my ears.¡¯ Lu Jinqi retorted silently.


    ¡°Get lost after you¡¯re done speaking.¡±


    Song Yayin¡¯s voice stopped abruptly. Clearly, she did not expect Lu Jinqi to dare to treat her like this.


    Seeing that his daughter was about to cry again, Song Zhilin grabbed his phone. ¡°Where are you? Get your *ss back here right now.¡±


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Lu Jinqi hung up immediately.


    She did not need to think to know that Song Zhilin and Song Yayin were definitely furious.


    It was just as Lu Jinqi had expected, Song Zhilin was furious!


    So much so that his phone fell to the ground in pieces from his angered state.


    Song Yayin had never seen him this agitated before. She was so frightened that she dared not make a sound.


    The next day, Song Yayin appeared in class with dark circles under her eyes. She realized that the usually quiet classroom was now extremely noisy. No one noticed her at all.


    She silently walked to her seat and sat down. This was the first time she had been ignored by someone. Her mood was terrible.


    Finally, someone noticed her. She immediately came over and said, ¡°Yayin, you¡¯re here. Looks like you didn¡¯t rest well last night?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I had a nightmare last night.¡±


    In fact, she was frightened by her father¡¯s outburst last night and could not sleep at all.


    ¡°What happened today?¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi pursed her lips and replied unhappily, ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a transfer student today. It¡¯s a girl. Everyone¡¯s talking about it.¡±


    ¡°A transfer student?¡± Song Yayin blinked and a bad premonition welled up in her heart. ¡°Do you know their name?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡±


    The atmosphere in the principal¡¯s office could be said to be at its lowest. Zhang Lin, the form teacher of Class One, originally thought that the transfer student was a straight-A student. After all, there were still students transferring schools even when they were in their third year of high school. In the end, when she looked at the file, her eyes sank.


    What did she see? The new student had previously studied at Defeng High School. Everyone knew that the students in this school not only did not have good grades, but they were also famous for causing trouble. Moreover, she had even taken a year off from school, how could such a student enter this place?


    ¡°Principal, you¡¯re not joking, right?¡±


    The principal picked up his teacup and calmly took a sip. He looked at Zhang Lin with a smile. ¡°Teacher Zhang, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhang Lin looked at Lu Jinqi with disdain. ¡°I don¡¯t agree with your choice. With her grades, how could she enter Class One?¡± She shook her head, then continued, ¡°besides, she went to school in Defeng, so her character would definitely not be good.¡±


    In any case, nothing could be summed up in one sentence. She did not agree to Lu Jinqi getting into Class One.


    ¡°Teacher Zhang, watch your words.¡± The principal nervously glanced at Lu jinqi, who had nothing to do with her. Seeing that she did not react, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    How could she not understand what Zhang Lin said? The key was that since yesterday, the school board had changed. No one expected the new board member to appear in his office the next day.


    ¡®I treat you as a board member, but you want to be my student.¡¯ The principal thought.


    ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t agree. I think she¡¯s suitable for Class Six instead. After all, birds of a feather flock together.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s interest was finally piqued. ¡°Then Class Six it is.¡±


    The principal¡¯s face visibly twitched as he tried to persuade her otherwise. ¡°Class Six has a bad reputation. Class One is our elite class, you can study hard there too.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Lu Jinqi waved her hand nonchalantly. ¡°Class Six suits me.¡±


    Seeing this, the principal could not help but sigh. He dialed a number. ¡°Teacher Cheng, come to my office.¡±


    Very soon, Cheng Xin arrived at the office with a confused look on her face. Seeing that Zhang Lin was there as well, she gave a friendly smile.


    ¡°Principal, you were looking for me.¡±


    The principal handed her a file and pointed at Lu Jinqi. ¡°From now on, she¡¯ll be a student in your class.¡±


    After reading the file, even though Cheng Xin was a little surprised, she did not look down on her. Instead, she nodded her head seriously.


    ¡°Congratulations, Teacher Cheng. Class Six has gained another great general,¡± Zhang Lin said before leaving.


    As long as she was not in Class One, it was fine. This Cheng Xin was also an airhead. She had already brought a bunch of useless trash with her, but now, she willingly took in another one, one who could not even pass grade two.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll bring her back to my class first then.¡±


    ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Hm, why did little Cheng get called?¡± A boy from Class Six had a curious look on his face.


    ¡°It should be about the transfer student who just joined.¡± The boy sitting next to him adjusted his glasses and read the character book with relish.


    ¡°Yao, the transfer student is coming to our class.¡± The little fatty poked the person who was still sleeping, unable to contain his excitement.


    Xiao Yao, who had been woken up, had a displeased look on his face. His tone was sullen as he replied, ¡°So what, do you want to throw flowers and provide a red carpet to express your welcome?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. Hehe.¡± The little fatty scratched his head and laughed.


    Cheng Xin brought Lu Jinqi to Class Six. Halfway through, she could not help but ask, ¡°Why were you suspended from school before?¡±


    ¡°There was a sick pig. I went to save the pig,¡± Lu Jinqi answered without raising his head while playing with her phone.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡± Outwardly, that was all Cheng Xin said. Inwardly, she had other opinions. ¡®That¡¯s ridiculous. You don¡¯t look like someone who would save a pig. Instead, you look like you would kill a pig.¡¯


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s reply killed the conversation. The two of them remained silent the entire way to Class Six.

 Chapter 6

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Little Cheng is here,¡± The sharp-eyed student shouted when he saw the figure making their way to the door.


    Cheng Xin glanced at him and placed the test papers on the podium. She smiled and said, ¡°We have a new student in our class today. Everyone, please welcome her well.¡±


    She looked at the entrance and clapped.


    Lu Jinqi turned off her phone and slowly made her way inside.


    When they one saw the girl¡¯s appearance, everyone sucked in a deep breath. The class turned silent.


    The girl¡¯s face was incomparably exquisite. The ends of her eyes were raised, carrying a trace of wickedness and arrogance.


    ¡°I¡¯m Lu Jinqi.¡±


    She introduced herself succinctly without any further introduction.


    The classroom was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.


    Cheng Xin¡¯s lips twitched from the silence. This new classmate was really fresh and refined. She had never seen anyone introduce themselves like this before.


    She looked at the last seat in the class and pointed to it.


    ¡°You can sit next to Xiao Yao first. I¡¯ll readjust the seatings later.¡±


    Xiao Yao came back to his senses and looked at the girl who was walking towards him with a dumbfounded expression.


    Lu Jinqi definitely had the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Although, every rose has its thorns. Looking at her now, it was as expected.


    She wore a shirt and had a tie around her neck. Perhaps she felt uncomfortable, so she raised her hand and tugged at it. The other hand was in her trouser pocket. She looked casual and seductive at the same time.


    This was the first time that everyone had the same thoughts ¡ª the girl wearing a tie looked very handsome. Some of the girls even blushed when they looked at Lu Jinqi.


    Lu Jinqi put her things on the table and sat with her legs crossed. Then, she began to play the games on her phone. Following that, gunshot sounds could be heard in the classroom.


    Everyone looked at each other. This newcomer seemed to be very arrogant.


    Xiao Yao turned his head and saw the girl skillfully manipulating the character in the game. She held a K98 and shot the person on the opposite slope in the head.


    He could not help but silently exclaim to himself, ¡®Cool.¡¯


    When the little fatty saw him look at her, tears of sadness welled up in his heart. ¡®You were annoyed at me for waking you up, but now, you¡¯re staring at someone else with heart eyes.¡¯


    On the podium, Cheng Xin clapped her hands to garner everyone¡¯s attention to sit properly. Then, she handed out the test papers.


    ¡°Today, we¡¯ll have a small test.¡±


    As she finished her sentence, a wave of wails sounded.


    ¡°Be quiet, just do the test.¡± Cheng Xin¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was stern enough for everyone to stop complaining.


    The moment she received the test paper, Lu Jinqi barely glanced at the content inside. The next second, she immediately fell asleep on the table.


    Xiao Yao watched her and shook his head. He then lowered his head to take a look at the test paper. Thinking of his terrible results from last time, he accepted his fate and picked up a pen to write down his name.


    Everyone was given a break after the test.


    After class, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the girl behind Xiao Yao. Everyone knew that this girl had fallen asleep during the exam.


    Suddenly, someone exclaimed, ¡°Look, the school forum is active.¡±


    Everyone took out their phones and took a look. A post with the title mentioning that the school belle was about to change was filled with comments. When they clicked on it, they found out that someone had posted Lu Jinqi¡¯s photo on the forum. Now, the whole school knew that a transfer student had arrived.


    The person who posted a photo of Lu Jinqi left a caption.


    [I heard that there¡¯s a transfer student in grade 12 today, so I was curious and wandered around the school. In the end, I saw who it was. The moment I saw Miss Qi, I fell in love. I¡¯m sharing a photo of her for everyone to see.]


    In the photo, the girl was wearing a white shirt. She had one hand in her pocket, one leg against the wall, and her eyes were focused on her phone.


    There was a casual smile on the corner of her mouth, showing her laziness and unruliness.


    Other students quickly commented below the photo.


    [I didn¡¯t believe it when I read the title, but now I believe it.]


    [You¡¯re not alone in this bro. I thought the person who posted it was exaggerating, but I didn¡¯t expect to get slapped with her beauty.]


    [What class is she in? If anyone finds out, please let me know.]


    [To be honest, she is much prettier than Song Yayin. Speaking of which, Song Yayin¡¯s looks aren¡¯t bad, but how did she become the school beauty?]


    [Hey, how dare you question her beauty? You better watch your back, her suitors might come get you.]


    The people in Class One who saw the post secretly sneaked a glance at Song Yayin. They felt that the people who commented were not wrong. The newcomer was indeed beautiful.


    ¡°What nonsense are these people talking about?¡± Zhu Lanzhi stared at the phone screen with flames in her eyes. Her jealousy could obviously be seen through her expression.


    Song Yayin raised her hand and pushed her hair back, revealing the side of her face. She then asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi hid her phone behind her back, avoiding her gaze. ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Yayin¡¯s body has not fully recovered. Seeing this post would definitely make her sad. Therefore, Zhu Lanzhi decided that it was better for her to not know.


    Observing her friend act like this, Song Yayin knew that something was wrong. She opened her phone and saw the link to the post from someone in the group. When she clicked on it, she saw Lu Jinqi¡¯s face and pushed the phone further away from her.


    How could this be? How did she transfer schools? Was she not supposed to be from Defeng High School?


    Zhu Lanzhi stood there and saw Song Yayin¡¯s complicated expression. Her heart skipped a beat. It was over for her.


    ¡°Yayin, all they do is talk nonsense. That girl looks like she¡¯s had plastic surgery. I don¡¯t believe that anyone could be born like that.¡±


    Song Yayin did not reply. She was the only one who knew that Lu Jinqi¡¯s face was pure and natural. After all, it was a face that had made her jealous countless times.


    ¡°Yayin, Yayin¡­¡± When Zhu Lanzhi saw that she did not react, she raised her voice by a few degrees to get Song Yayin¡¯s attention.


    Pulling her thoughts back, Song Yayin smiled. ¡°Lanzhi, don¡¯t say such a thing. Jinqi isn¡¯t like that.¡±


    ¡°You know her?¡±


    Song Yayin was silent for a moment. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, her voice laced with worry, ¡°Jinqi is an orphan. We grew up together, and we have a pretty good relationship. It¡¯s just that Jinqi used to study in Defeng, so I don¡¯t know why she suddenly transferred to our school.¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you have known?¡±


    ¡°Maybe she¡¯s still angry with me. It¡¯s only right that she chose not to tell me.¡± Song Yayin¡¯s eyes reddened slightly as she forced a smile.


    Zhu Lanzi immediately sympathized with Sony Yayin.


    Lu Jinqi was just an orphan. She should have been grateful that the Song family sponsored her to study in Defeng. Now, she has used some unknown method to enter the Minsong High School.


    Only Yayin could be this kind and treated her as one of their own. In her eyes, Song Yayin was seen as a saint because they grew up together. However, to put it bluntly, Lu Jinqi was just a servant raised by the Song family. How dare she revel against her master.


    ¡°Yinyin, you¡¯re too kind. Maybe she was the one who directed and acted out this post,¡± Zhu Lanzhi said, feeling more and more convinced that Yayin was on the short end of the stick. ¡°I won¡¯t let her get away with it.¡±


    Song Yayin¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly, and a bright light flashed in her eyes. She looked nervous. ¡°Lanzhi, what¡¯re you planning on doing?¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi grinned and ran out after quickly saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Since she wants to be famous, I¡¯ll give her a helping hand in that.¡±


    Looking at Zhu Lanzhi¡¯s back as she left, Song Yayin¡¯s mood lifted as she scrolled through Weibo as she thought to herself..


    ¡®Lanzhi, don¡¯t disappoint me, okay?¡¯


    In Class Six, the little fatty looked at the photo and leaned over. ¡°Yao, why do I feel like your position as the school bully is about to be lost?¡±


    Xiao Yao gave him a cold glance.


    ¡°Why ask? Want a beating?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just joking, I¡¯m joking.¡±


    Seeing him like this, Xiao Yao snickered and poked the person sleeping beside him.


    Being woken up by someone, Lu Jinqi¡¯s expression became even more perverse. She turned her head and looked over, ¡°What¡¯s up.¡±


    ¡°Deskmate, you¡¯ve become popular.¡± As he spoke, he handed his phone over and gestured for her to take a look.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and took the phone. She flipped through the post and said, ¡°That¡¯s a good photo.¡±


    Xiao Yao was stunned. That was not the main point.

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    While everyone was still immersed in the discussion section of this post, another post slowly sneaked it¡¯s way up.


    Suddenly, the little fatty, Wen Yu, turned his head with an unpleasant expression. ¡°Something happened.¡±


    Xiao Yao frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Wen Yu tapped on his phone screen and placed it on the table. ¡°Someone posted something, and it¡¯s about our new classmate.¡±


    Xiao Yao picked up his phone and his face darkened when he saw the content of the post.


    [Whoever said that the transfer student is even more beautiful than Class One Song Yayin. Are you blind]. She¡¯s just an orphan whose parents didn¡¯t love her enough to keep her. How could there be so many people rushing to court someone like her? According to what I know, this transfer student was adopted by the Song family. They provided her with food and drinks, but she didn¡¯t appreciate it. A few days ago, she angered Song Yayin and sent her to the hospital. I don¡¯t know what methods she used to get into our school, but it¡¯s clearly something that¡¯s suspicious. You all are sick for liking such a person.]


    As soon as the post was posted, it caused a huge commotion.


    [No way, I wouldn¡¯t have expected her to be like this.]


    [That does sound suspicious, there must be a financier behind this.]


    [Do you have evidence? Stop spreading rumors with no proof.]


    As the post became more popular, more and more comments flooded in.


    Lu Jinqi glanced at it and roughly understood what was going on.


    ¡°Get the person to delete the post,¡± Xiao Yao frowned and said to Wen Yu.


    ¡°No need,¡± Lu Jinqi stood up and said calmly, ¡°tell Cheng Xin I¡¯m applying for a leave of absence.¡±


    ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    The person who asked was only faced with Lu Jinqi¡¯s back as she left.


    Very quickly, Lu Jinqi arrived at the internet cafe she went to the last time. With ease, she found the young lady and she quickly turned on a computer for her.


    She sat leisurely and casually typed on the keyboard. She successfully hacked into the school forum, found the post, and deleted it. After deleting the post, she found something interesting. The person who posted it was not Song Yayin, which surprised her.


    At that moment, the phone screen on the table lit up.


    She opened it and saw a text message. It was from Netherworld.


    [You free? There¡¯s a rather troublesome request. Do you want to accept it?]


    Over the past few days, Lu Jinqi had gotten to know the people on the site better. This was the first time she had seen one of them encounter a troublesome matter.


    She took out a voice changer from her pocket and put it on. She casually dialed it, and very quickly, the call connected.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Lu Jinqi asked in a cold and magnetic voice.


    Netherworld had previously spoken to Lu Jinqi on the phone, but when Jinqi heard this voice, a blush appeared. It could not be helped, after all, the voice sounded honey-like albeit through the phone.


    ¡°Find Old Cat¡¯s location and take the bill,¡± the woman on the other end of the phone was lying on a beach chair, sunbathing. Even her voice sounded lazy.


    She had wanted to take the bill herself, but ever since J had hidden Old Cat¡¯s location, a few of them had tried to infiltrate it, but in the end, they all failed.


    Lu Jinqi rested her chin on her hand and casually replied, ¡°It¡¯s just a system. Why is Old Cat being pursued?¡±


    The woman gloated and laughed. ¡°Haha, Old Cat has a blood brother. His own brother is working in that very company, yet Old Cat is trying to sabotage him.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s interest was piqued. She curled her lips into a smile. ¡°Sounds interesting. Looks like Skinner is bound to catch Old Cat.¡±


    ¡°Okay, ten million. Do you want to take it?¡±


    Lu Jinqi chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    After hanging up, Lu Jinqi keyed in some codes. The computer began to run on its own, hacking, cracking and locking into different things. The entire process was without any hindrance.


    After sending the address to Netherworld, she sent a message to Old Cat as a reminder.


    [You still have an hour to run.]


    No matter what, Old Cat was her first client.


    Old Cat himself was currently on vacation on a small island in M nation. When he saw the message, he was a little confused, but at the same time, he did not care.


    In the end, an hour later, he was caught by Skinner and brought back to the family. At that moment, he realized that J had sold him out.


    ¡­


    In Shengbai Building, Lu Jinqi had one hand in her pocket as she leisurely strolled around.


    When she saw a dessert shop, her dark eyes twinkled in delight.


    She decisively pushed the door open and entered, coming out with many bags in her arm.


    This contrast made the shop assistant blush and her heart beat faster. The young miss looked like she was not to be trifled with, yet she seemed to really like sweet things. This was truly an odd sight to see.


    After shopping, Lu Jinqi went straight back to the hotel. Just as she entered and sat down, she heard a girl crying upstairs. Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and scoffed. ¡°Annoying.¡±


    She wanted to quietly eat her just bought cake, but the girl¡¯s cries grew louder and louder. Lu Jinqi slowly got more and more annoyed.


    Her darkened eyes were piercingly cold, and she fumed with anger. She immediately walked upstairs with a menacing aura.


    ¡°Your harmonious voice is disturbing me,¡± Lu Jinqi knocked on the door and spoke impatiently.


    The girl in the room was startled by the sudden knock, and she abruptly stopped crying. She glanced at the few people sitting down with an awkward expression on her face.


    ¡°Enough,¡± the man held a cigarette in his hand, and his cold eyes glanced at the girl as he said faintly.


    The girl¡¯s body stiffened at that glance, and the tears that had just stopped fell again.


    Who could resist Master Jing¡¯s gaze?


    Outside the door, Lu Jinqi was just about to leave when she heard the sound of crying again.Her delicate features instantly turned cold, revealing the ruthlessness in her eyes.


    She kicked the door open and walked in unhappily. ¡°Are you done crying?¡±


    After she finished speaking, to her sight, three men could be seen sitting on the sofa. A girl stood across from her, with trembling shoulders. At that moment, all their gazes were on her.


    Everyone looked at Lu Jinqi and saw her overly delicate face. Her eyes were bloodshot and cold. Her entire body was filled with impatience. Her entire demeanor looked arrogant and not to be trifled with.


    Xie Shuyao cried out, ¡°Where did she come from? She¡¯s so pretty.¡±


    Lu Jinqi furrowed her brows. She knew that she had made a mistake, and her eyes contained a hint of wariness. Sher replied coldly, ¡°Since it¡¯s not what I think it is, I will take my leave.¡±


    ¡°Young miss, you¡¯re fierce,¡± Qi Ye stood up carelessly with his hands in his pockets.


    Lu Jinqi glanced at him but did not say anything. She turned around and prepared to leave.


    At that moment, the man sitting in the middle spoke. His deep voice carried a hint of carelessness as surprise flashed in his eyes. ¡°You kicked the door to come in and now you¡¯re leaving?¡±


    He did not expect to see her here.


    Lu Jinqi frowned. When she turned around and saw the man¡¯s face, her heart skipped a beat for no reason. The man¡¯s facial features were exquisite, his eyes were cold and distant. The corners of his eyebrows were raised, adding a hint of seduction. There was a flirtatious smile on his lips, inexplicably trying to be seductive.


    This was a cold and lustful man.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s heart tickled when she studied his face. She curled her lips into a smile. ¡°Then what do you think we should do about it?¡± Her voice was seductive as she raised an eyebrow in response to reply.


    Qi Ye and the others looked at each other. If they did not hear wrongly, the girl was flirting with Master Jing.


    Si Jingyun chuckled and let out a breath of air, his palm turned upward. This was the first time someone dared to flirt with him.


    The girl who entered looked petite, but she knew her stuff.


    Si Jingyun put out the cigarette and walked over to Lu Jinqi. A few seconds later, under everyone¡¯s gaze, he bent down slightly and said meaningfully, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll send you down myself.¡±


    His deep voice rang in her ears as the warm air carried a hint of tobacco.


    A tinge of red instantly crept up her ears as a response, and Lu Jinqi obediently followed closely.


    As they watched the two of them leave, those left in the room looked at each other in shock.


    ¡°Lingchuan, what¡¯s going on with Master Jing?¡± Qi Ye nudged the person beside him and asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s probably taken a liking to her,¡± Xie Lingchuan thought for a moment before speaking slowly.


    Suddenly, Xie Shuyao excitedly exclaimed, ¡°I fixed it!¡±

    ¡°Why are you doing this? Look at what you¡¯ve done. Hurry up and go home.¡± Xie Lingchuan glared at her and threw the documents in front of her.


    Xie Shuyao pursed her lips and said disapprovingly, ¡°Everyone has a responsibility to deal with sc*m. I¡¯m not going back.¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I guess we¡¯ll have to wait for Master Jing.¡±


    Sure enough, Xie Shuyao¡¯s face froze when she heard this. She looked at Xie Lingchuan in disbelief.


    ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re my biological brother?¡±


    Xie Lingchuan patted her head and said slowly, ¡°Maybe we can go for another biological test to find out.¡±


    Ever since they were young, these words were practically his catchphrase. Once, she actually went for a biological test to find out. It made him so angry that he wanted to sever all ties with her.


    Qi Ye saw the two of them like this and could not help but sigh. ¡°The two of you are at it again.¡±


    ¡°We have no choice. She is only afraid of Master Jing.¡± Xie Lingchuan¡¯s words were right. After all, they had grown up together. Xie Shuyao was not afraid of anyone except Si Jingyun.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going back. I¡¯ve decided to stay in Rongcheng to study,¡± Xie Shuyao said resolutely.


    ¡­


    Lu Jinqi stood outside her room and looked at Si Jingyun. ¡°Do you want to come in and sit down?¡±


    Si Jingyun chuckled softly and leaned closer to her, patting her head. ¡°Child, are you an adult?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled up, her eyes filled with amusement. ¡°When you offered to send me down, I thought you were more anxious than I was.¡±


    Si Jingyun paused for a moment, then the crinkle in his eyes deepened.


    ¡°Little child, let¡¯s not have such dirty thoughts.¡±


    Lu Jinqi closed the distance and raised the ends of her eyebrow. She stared at him as she replied, word by word, ¡°How would you know what I¡¯m implying? It seems like you have a rich life.¡±


    What she meant was completely different from what she said. However, she was still having fun, so she carried on.


    Who would have thought that the man only looked at her with a faint smile. His deep and soothing voice made some people¡¯s ears itch for more.


    ¡°If I really wanted to do something, you wouldn¡¯t be standing here.¡±


    After saying that, he reached out his hand.


    Lu Jinqi instinctively grabbed his hand. When she looked up, she saw the man looking at her meaningfully. In his deep dark eyes, she saw her own reflection.


    ¡°Little child, do you plan on taking advantage of me?¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s tone was honey-like as the corners of his lips curled up. He placed Lu Jinqi¡¯s hand on the doorknob and pushed it down.


    ¡°If we¡¯re talking about taking advantage. It looks like I won¡¯t lose out.¡± Lu Jinqi looked at their hands meaningfully as she licked her lips and smiled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± Si Jingyun¡¯s pupils dilated as they entered the room.


    Then, Si Jingyun retracted his hand. She walked in and turned around. ¡°Lu Jinqi.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s lips curled up even more. His tone was casual. ¡°I¡¯m Si Jingyun, little child. You should sleep early or you won¡¯t be able to grow taller.¡± With that, he walked away.


    Lu Jinqi looked down at his receding figure and her lips twitched. This man¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°Yayin, quickly, look at the forum,¡± Zhu Lanzhi said with a smile as soon as she returned to the classroom.


    When Song Yayin opened the forum, she saw the comments that she had been following. Now, they were all scolding and questioning Lu Jinqi¡¯s behavior.


    She silently chuckled and feigned a disapproving look. ¡°You didn¡¯t do this, did you?¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi nodded. ¡°I¡¯m just sharing the truth.¡±


    ¡°Lanzhi, what if someone finds out about you like this?¡± Song Yayin looked at her worriedly.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I posted it anonymously,¡± Zhu Lanzhi said nonchalantly as her fingers kept scrolling through the comments.


    Seeing the abusive replies in the comments, she felt more at ease.


    ¡®Let¡¯s see who would still like her now.¡¯


    As she scrolled through the comments, the page refreshed itself. Then, it said that the page did not exist anymore.


    Zhu Lanzhi returned and clicked on it again. She could not help but raise her head. ¡°Yayin, can you still see the posts on the forum?¡±


    Song Yayin opened it and saw that the whole post was gone. She shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t see it either.¡±


    ¡°What happened? The post suddenly disappeared.¡±


    Seeing her like this, Song Yayin¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of disdain. ¡®You Id*ot.¡¯


    The sound of panic rang out in all the classes. Everyone scrolled through the forum and realized that all the other posts about Lu Jinqi were gone as well.


    ¡°Yao, the posts are gone,¡± Wen Yu, who had been updating himself with the drama, immediately told Xiao Yao when he realized that they were gone.


    ¡°They¡¯re all gone?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I wonder who did it,¡± Wen Yu said as he showed the page to Xiao Yao.


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s figure flashed across Xiao Yao¡¯s mind. He immediately shook his head. How could it be her?


    The next day, Lu Jinqi appeared at school with a backpack hanging on one shoulder. Her eyes were red and her face was filled with displeasure.


    When the students saw her, they started to whisper among themselves.


    When she walked into the classroom, she saw that her seat was in a mess and her books were scattered all over the floor. She stopped in her tracks and a cold look appeared in their eyes. ¡°Who did this?¡±


    Xiao Yao and Wen Yu, who came in later, saw Lu Jinqi standing next to her desk. Her entire body quivered. When they walked closer, Xiao Yao¡¯s expression turned ugly. He glanced around and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Who did this?¡±


    Everyone glanced at him but did not say anything. At that moment, no one dared to make a sound. They did not want to bear the brunt of Xiao Yao¡¯s anger that was about to explode.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask again. Who did this?¡± Lu Jinqi asked in a low voice, her face expressionless.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhang Hao.¡± A girl carefully looked at Lu Jinqi and pointed at someone.


    Following her finger, she saw a boy with a pockmarked face and glasses. At that moment, his body trembled from the attention.


    Lu Jinqi walked over slowly. With every step, everyone felt the tense atmosphere grow.


    ¡°You did it?¡±


    ¡°So what if it was me? A person like you doesn¡¯t deserve to stay in Minsong,¡± Zhang Hao looked at her in disgust and admitted out loud.


    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Lu Jinqi kick his shin, causing him to drop to the ground. She placed her foot on his stomach and grabbed a book closely. She lowered her head and patted his face with it. ¡°Tell me more about myself.¡±


    No one expected Lu Jinqi to kick him without hesitation.


    ¡°How dare you hit me? I¡¯m going to tell everyone in school.¡± Zhang Hao, who was lying on the ground, felt the pain in his stomach. He gritted his teeth and glared at her.


    ¡°That¡¯s up to you.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s strength increased by a few degrees and she pressed down harder. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, she looked at him with evil intent.


    Behind her, Wen Yu poked Xiao Yao and said softly, ¡°Yao, your position as the school bully is gone.¡±


    Xiao Yao¡¯s face darkened when he heard that. Was this the time to bring something like this up?


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your class? The bell rang. Didn¡¯t any of you hear it?¡± The director walked past Class Six and saw that everyone in the class was gathered together.


    When they heard the noise, everyone turned around and saw the director, Hu Lei, standing on the podium. He looked at them angrily.


    Only then did Hu Lei realize that something was wrong.


    ¡°What are you doing? Let go of your foot,¡± he shouted at Lu Jinqi.


    Who would have expected Lu Jinqi to act as though she did not hear him. She raised her foot and kicked the student to the back door. Then, she kicked his desk over as well.


    Everyone who witnessed everything sucked in a breath.


    She looked menacing.


    Hu Lei¡¯s anger deepened. The cheeks on his face trembled with anger. Were this not a serious situation, the students would have made fun of comical expression.


    ¡°Both of you, come to the office.¡± With that, he took the lead to leave.


    Lu Jinqi threw her bag to Xiao Yao and lazily followed him out.


    Zhang Hao struggled to get up. He could not understand how things had turned out like this.


    When they left, the classroom instantly exploded.


    ¡°What the f*ck, bro, sister Jinqi is so manipulative.¡± Wen Yu looked at the books on the floor and thought of how the scene unfolded. He could not help but exclaim in admiration.


    ¡°You¡¯re already calling her sister this early on?¡± Xiao Yao casually asked as he placed her bag on her table.


    Wen Yu put his things away and squatted down to pick up Lu Jinqi¡¯s books. ¡°It¡¯s all because you, my brother, only have a strong aura whereas for her, she¡¯s different.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s impressive,¡± Xiao Yao tilted his head, ¡°but she really does have an explosive anger.¡±

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Hu Lei brought the two of them to the principal¡¯s office in exasperation, intending to let principal Zheng Qin handle it.


    At this moment, Zheng Qin was sitting on a chair, leisurely sipping his tea. When he saw Hu Lei, he immediately greeted him, then said, ¡°Why¡¯re you here? You¡¯re just in time to have a cup of tea.¡±


    As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea into an extra cup.


    Hu Lei took the cup and downed it in one gulp. After calming himself down, he said, ¡°Principal, two students fought in public. They have no discipline whatsoever.¡±


    Immediately after, Zheng Qin saw a boy slowly walk in while holding his stomach. Behind him was a lazy looking girl.


    Seeing the girl¡¯s face, the tea in Zheng Qin¡¯s mouth instantly spurted out and splashed onto the table.


    ¡°Principal, are you alright?¡± Hu Lei asked.


    ¡°I accidentally choked on it. I¡¯m fine.¡± He felt that the tea in his hand suddenly did not taste nor smell good.


    Zheng Qin quickly wiped away the water on the table and the cold sweat on his forehead. He laughed dryly. ¡°Why did the both of you fight?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. She kicked me down for no reason. Maybe she doesn¡¯t like me,¡± Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said with a slightly aggrieved tone.


    On the way here, he had already thought of what to say.


    Lu Jinqi dared to kick him and made him look so miserable. He definitely wanted a way to chase her out.


    ¡°What do you have to say for this?¡± Zheng Qin pointed his words at her, hinting for her to explain.


    Who would have thought that Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes would suddenly turn cold. The words she said were wild and abrupt. ¡°Correction, it¡¯s not a fight. I¡¯m the one who beat him up.¡±


    Before Zheng Qin could say anything, Hu Lei could not sit still and interjected. ¡°How can such a student say something like this? Principal, how can a student like this stay in our school? I suggest that you expel her.¡±


    ¡°Director Hu, let¡¯s all calm down first before deciding. There must be another reason behind this. We can¡¯t just casually expel a student. If this gets out, it won¡¯t be good for our school.¡± Zheng Qin¡¯s face was full of smiles, but in his heart, he was bitterly crying. ¡®My my, why did this happen?¡¯


    ¡°Then why did you beat him up?¡±


    Ignoring Zheng Qin¡¯s gaze, Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°It¡¯s probably because he looks ugly to me.¡±


    Zheng Qin and Hu Lei¡¯s faces visibly twitched. At the same time, they looked at Zhang Hao and realized that what she said was not wrong. He did indeed look a little ugly.


    Sensing their gazes, Zhang Hao¡¯s face flushed red with anger. His eyes were filled with hatred towards Lu Jinqi. At that moment, the office door suddenly opened.


    Cheng Xin¡¯s hair was disheveled, and her forehead was covered in sweat.


    ¡°Teacher Cheng, what are you doing here?¡± Zheng Qin asked in surprise.


    Cheng Xin took a deep breath and pulled Lu Jinqi behind her. ¡°Principal, I know the whole story. You can¡¯t completely blame Lu Jinqi for this.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Cheng,¡± Lu Jinqi looked at the figure in front of her and was stunned. She did not expect someone to defend her.


    Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Cheng Xin interrupted, ¡°You don¡¯t need to explain yourself. I won¡¯t let you drop out of school.¡±


    As a qualified teacher, she tried her best to never give up on any student. This was something she had always stood by. When Lu Jinqi heard this, she smiled. What a kind teacher.


    ¡°Teacher Cheng, Lu Jinqi said that she was the one who beat someone up, yet you still intend on defending her. Don¡¯t forget that the person who got beaten up was also one of your students,¡± Hu Lei glanced at her, his words carrying a sense of warning.


    Cheng Xin mustered her courage and retorted unceremoniously, ¡°Since you¡¯ve mentioned that they¡¯re both my students, as a teacher, I naturally won¡¯t take sides. However, the cause of this incident was student Zhang Hao¡¯s provocation, which led to the later scene.¡±


    Zhang Hao, who had thought of a meticulous plan, did not expect Cheng Xin to say this. Instantly, his hatred for her grew.


    ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not lying?¡±


    Cheng Xin¡¯s expression did not change. She looked at him calmly. ¡°You don¡¯t know whether I¡¯m lying or not. However, the students in the class have already told me about the whole thing.¡±


    What she meant was that they would not know who is the real liar here. This was because she already knew the origin of the whole story to those that witnessed it.


    ¡°Well, since both parties are at fault, the expulsion will be waived, but there must be punishment.¡± Zheng Qin, who had a sense of forgiveness, revealed an amiable smile. ¡°How about this, each of you write a self-reflection and read it in front of the entire school tomorrow.¡±


    Hu Lei and Zhang Hao stared at him with their mouths agape. It was over just like that. The interrogation had been for nothing.


    ¡°Principal, I¡¯m afraid to say that it might not be severe enough of a punishment,¡± Hu Lei said, unwilling to give up.


    Writing a self-reflection was not considered as a punishment. Students who started fights with others should be expelled.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s decided. You can all leave.¡± Zheng Qin waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.


    Cheng Xin walked Lu Jinqi and Xiao Yao to the entrance of the class and instructed, ¡°Get to class. Don¡¯t let this happen again.¡±


    Lu Jinqi casually returned to her seat and pulled out a piece of paper from the table. She started to write her self-reflection paper.


    Xiao Yao could not help but glance at the scribbled words. However, when he saw the content, the smile on his face froze.


    He could not help but ask, ¡°Jinqi, what are you writing?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s hands did not stop. She glanced at him and smiled playfully. ¡°Can¡¯t you read? It¡¯s a letter of apology.¡±


    Xiao Yao was silent.


    It was only after seeing it that he wondered to himself, ¡®How is that a letter of apology? That is definitely a warning letter.¡¯


    Wen Yu, who was in the front row, heard the conversation and turned his head curiously. Then, she looked at Lu Jinqi with admiration. ¡®As expected of sister Jinqi. Even her self-criticism is different.¡¯


    ¡°Yayin, did you hear? Lu Jinqi was caught by the director for hitting someone,¡± Zhu Lanzhi gloated.


    Song Yayin was slightly stunned. There was worry in her eyes.


    ¡°How could this be? Will Jinqi be punished?¡±


    ¡°Definitely. I think she¡¯s going to be expelled.¡±


    Song Yayin lowered her head, the corners of her lips curled up gently. Her hair covered her smirk as she thought, ¡®Expelled? That would be for the best. How could a person like her be worthy of my school? She should be suppressed by me, she would never be able to turn over a new leaf.¡¯


    ¡­


    The school field was filled with people, and a group of people were chattering amongst themselves.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that they were going to have a meeting? Why hasn¡¯t it started yet?¡±


    ¡°It should be soon.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re here.¡±


    Everyone looked towards the rostrum. The principal, director, and a few others had already taken their seats.


    Hu Lei stood up, swept his gaze across the room, and spoke in a serious tone, ¡°Regarding our school¡¯s Grade 12 Class Six. Zhang Hao and Lu Jinqi fought in public. The school has given the following punishments because of the reason behind the incident. The two students must read a self-reflection essay in front of the entire school¡¯s teachers and students. If this happens again, they will be expelled.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar below.


    ¡°What kind of punishment is this?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If you¡¯re not expelled, shouldn¡¯t you be given a demerit?¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Song Yayin¡¯s hands suddenly clenched tightly, her eyes were cold.


    How could it not be an expulsion.


    ¡°Quiet.¡± Hu Lei slapped the table, his voice spreaded across the entire field from the microphone.


    ¡°Now, please come up to the stage to review your essays.¡±


    Zhang Hao wore his school uniform. As he stood on the rostrum and looked at the mass of people, his legs could not help but tremble. He opened his mouth to review his paper.


    ¡°Through self-reflection, I realized that it was my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have mocked my classmate, I shouldn¡¯t have provoked them, and finally, I would like everyone to make sure I never elicit such behavior ever again.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lei nod his head and immediately ran off. Then, everyone saw a thin figure appear on the rostrum.


    They were instantly shocked by her behavior.


    Lu Jinqi casually propped her hands on the railing. Her eyes were cold. The corners of her lips twitched, and her cold voice carried a hint of laziness. She exuded the aura of a mafia boss.


    ¡°I¡¯m Lu Jinqi from Grade 12 Class Six. Yesterday, I only intended to get along well with my classmate. I couldn¡¯t help but show my love for Zhang Hao, but I didn¡¯t expect him to not be able to take it. Regarding this, I apologize. I shouldn¡¯t have lost control of my strength, so I¡¯ll deepy reflect on myself and my behavior. Next time, be careful of what you do to others.


    ¡°I¡¯m very sorry that this matter has disturbed the entire school, but I don¡¯t think this will be the last time. So, please take care of yourself, and don¡¯t threaten others for fun.¡±


    Lu Jinqi paused for a moment, her lazy gaze swept past the students, one by one. Then, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.


    ¡°In addition, those who need care can come over anytime. This is my reflection. Thank you.¡±


    Returning the microphone to Hu Lei, Lu Jinqi quickly left the rostrum, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.


    That was not a reflection.


    On the rostrum, the principal pressed his temples and smiled bitterly.


    What a nuisance.

 Chapter 10

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Oh my gosh, her speech was so cool.¡±


    ¡°Right, didn¡¯t you see the faces of the directors and the other teachers turn black?¡±


    ¡°When I saw her in person today, she was not the same person mentioned in the post that got deleted.¡±


    After Zheng Qin and the other teachers left in a huff, the crowd suddenly became lively and discussions broke out.


    When Song Yayin heard the praises for Lu Jinqi, she clenched her fists and her expression turned extremely ugly.


    ¡°Yayin, what¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t look too well,¡± Zhu Lanzhi had been paying attention to her friend and when she saw her ugly expression, she worriedly asked.


    ¡°Lanzhi, I¡¯m not feeling well. Can you help me ask for leave from the class teacher? I think I¡¯ll leave now,¡± Song Yayin¡¯s face was pale and she glanced at her shyly before speaking in a gentle tone.


    ¡°Okay, you should rest well.¡±


    At home, a maid did not have time to say anything when she saw the usually gentle and lovely young lady smash everything on the table with a ferocious look. She had never seen Song Yayin act out like this before. She was so nervous that no one dared to go up to her.


    Zheng Shumin had just finished her skincare when she heard the sound of things creaking coming from downstairs.


    She hurriedly went downstairs and encountered a mess. The culprit was still smashing things as she looked on with horror on her face.


    ¡°Yayin, what happened?¡± Zheng Shumin hurriedly went forward and grabbed her hand, asking with concern.


    ¡°Mom, did you know that Lu Jinqi transferred to Minsong?¡± After saying that, Song Yayin observed Zheng Shumin, not missing a single expression.


    When Zheng Shumin heard that, she was first surprised, then she replied furiously, ¡°What? She went to Minsong? When did that happen?¡±


    Seeing Zheng Shumin like this, Song Yayin¡¯s mood improved. It seemed like she did not know either.


    ¡°Just yesterday. Didn¡¯t she tell you? If she didn¡¯t, then how did she get in?¡± Song Yayin furrowed her brows, her heart felt like it was about to flip over.


    What exactly was going on?


    Zheng Shumin thought of something and her expression changed. ¡°When your father comes back, I¡¯ll ask.¡±


    Could it be that that the wretched girl had finally dared to fight back?


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡±


    ¡­


    Back at the hotel, Lu Jinqi threw herself onto the bed, preparing to catch up on her sleep.


    Just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang.


    There was no expression on her delicate face. The coldness in her eyes seemed to overflow as she picked up her phone in annoyance.


    Seeing that the caller was White Dragon, the coldness in her eyes still did not dissipate. She put on the voice changer and answered, ¡°Yes?¡±


    White Dragon clearly did not notice Lu Jinqi¡¯s indifference. He said in a rough voice, ¡°Hey, do you want to take on a job?¡±


    His voice made Lu Jinqi¡¯s ears buzz.


    ¡°No.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyelids fluttered as sleepiness swept over her. At that moment, she only wanted to catch up on her sleep, so she quickly rejected his proposal.


    The smile on White Dragon¡¯s face instantly dropped. He could not help but scratch his head. ¡°No? Are you serious?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m hanging up,¡± she said before preparing to hang up.


    White Dragon panicked. ¡°Don¡¯t, the reward is 50 million.¡±


    Lu Jinqi sneered. She knew that she loved money.


    ¡°What¡¯s on the list?¡±


    When White Dragon heard this, he knew that he had a chance to reel her in. As expected, Netherworld was not wrong. J loved money.


    ¡°Help me rob the goods,¡± White Dragon asked as he told Lu Jinqi about the goods.


    Lu Jinqi was a little surprised. She did not expect White Dragon to be an arms dealer.


    ¡®It seems like the other people aren¡¯t weak, I guess I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s pitiful.¡¯


    ¡°Why? You can¡¯t handle it yourself,¡± Lu Jinqi said in a flat voice.


    ¡°The other party has a hacker as well. His knowledge is on par with mine, so I need you to intercept him.¡±


    ¡°Alright, when?¡±


    White Dragon thought for a moment and said, ¡°Nine at night, we¡¯ll be robbing the goods. Destroy the location of the goods and stop the other party.¡±


    After hanging up, Lu Jinqi looked at the time. It was just the right time to catch up on her sleep before the heist.


    At night, the stars were twinkling, and a sliver of moonlight shone through the window.


    Lu Jinqi was wearing a bathrobe as she sat on the sofa. Her delicate face was flushed from the shower, and her eyes were moist. She was ready.


    At nine at night, Lu Jinqi turned on the computer and hacked into White Dragon¡¯s computer.


    She locked onto the goods and was about to delete them when she saw that someone was attacking her computer.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled into a sinister smile. ¡°Interesting.¡± After saying that, her fingers worked at a steady pace. She did not panic at all.


    First, she counterattacked the other party¡¯s computer. After she was done, she destroyed the goods¡¯ location and casually erased White Dragon¡¯s location.


    After a series of coding, everything else went smoothly.


    ¡°Done.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Master Jing, our goods have been intercepted,¡± a man in his twenties spoke embarrassedly as he stared at the computer in front of him with a defeated expression.


    Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows and nodded indifferently. His eyes were as calm as stillwater, as if the goods that had been robbed were not his.


    On the other hand, Qi Ye and Xie Lingchuan were staring blankly at the side. Such a large quantity of goods had been intercepted by someone just like that.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be White Dragon, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not him.¡± Si Jingyun sat on the sofa lazily. His slender fingers fiddled with a silver lighter. The light from the fire flickered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.


    ¡°Who is it then? Netherworld and the others are all of similar level.¡± Xie Lingchuan did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was self-evident.


    The man nodded. He thought about the news he had heard recently and replied in a low voice, ¡°That person should be J.¡±


    ¡°J?¡±


    Qi Ye and Xie Lingchuan looked at each other. When did such a big shot appear?


    ¡°Qi Ye, be more specific.¡±


    Qi Ye looked at Si Jingyun before speaking. There was a hint of admiration in his tone. ¡°This J person recently appeared. It¡¯s said that none of the cases J handled failed. This person is very mysterious. No one knows J¡¯s exact location. If it weren¡¯t for those cases, many people would think that this person doesn¡¯t exist,¡± Qi Ye raised both of his hands in defeat, ¡°so therefore J¡¯s really powerful.¡±


    ¡°Qiao Ye, think of a way to find this person.¡± Si Jingyun put down his lighter and narrowed his eyes. His voice was deep and alluring.


    The higher-ups were planning to set up an intelligence team. Now, they had a candidate.


    ¡°Will do, ¡°Qiao Ye nodded respectfully.


    ¡­


    At the M nation border, White Dragon¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at the results. As expected of the Si family. They were rich and powerful, and their goods were different from the others.


    After taking a photo, he sent it to Lu Jinqi.


    [Brother, thank you, I¡¯ve transferred the money to your account.]


    Soon, the other party replied.


    [Got it.]


    Staring at the reply, White Dragon sighed at the goods happily. It was fated, he thanked J for their love of money.


    He never thought that there would be someone who loved money more than him. The downside was that he had to give the money to the other party.


    This was as uncomfortable as digging out a piece of his heart.


    However, with this batch of goods, more money would soon be in his hands.


    At the thought of this, White Dragon became excited again and ordered his subordinates to put the goods away. It was as though his sadness had disappeared.


    When his subordinates saw him like this, they could not bear to look at him.


    Could such a boss be replaced?

 Chapter 11

    Early in the morning, Xiao Yao saw his deskmate walking into class expressionlessly when the bell rang. Once she sat down, Xiao Yao leaned over.


    ¡°Hey, you look like you didn¡¯t sleep well last night.¡±


    Lu Jinqi leaned on the table and grunted.


    On the podium, the chemistry teacher saw Lu Jinqi like this and shook her head, no longer caring about her behavior.


    After class, Xiao Yao glanced at Lu Jinqi who was still asleep. He got up and kicked Wen Yu¡¯s chair. ¡°Wen Yu, let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yao, where are we going?¡± Wen Yu followed Xiao Yao downstairs and asked in confusion.


    ¡°The supermarket. Jinqi doesn¡¯t seem to be in a good mood today.¡±


    The two of them went to the supermarket and stood in front of a dazzling array of snacks, concern etched on their faces.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, what should we get?¡± Wen Yu held a packet of potato chips in his hand. No matter how he looked at it, Jinqi looked like the kind of person to not eat these things.


    Xiao Yao recalled what he saw on Lu Jinqi¡¯s table yesterday and pulled Wen Yu to another shelf.


    ¡°Let¡¯s buy this instead.¡±


    Wen Yu¡¯s eyes widened. Seeing that they were all candy, he thought to himself, ¡®Xiao Yao is definitely trolling. She does not look like someone who would eat sweets at all.¡¯


    Xiao Yao paid no mind to Wen Yu¡¯s reaction. He went through all the different flavors of the candy and grabbed a bunch. When he checked out, he found a small cake, so he bought it as well.


    Wen Yu was still a little dazed as he carried the things out of the supermarket. Why did he have to buy so much?


    ¡°Xiao Yao, I don¡¯t think she¡¯ll like these things at all.¡±


    After all, normal girls usually did not like sweet things, and someone like Jinqi would definitely hate them.


    ¡°How about this, let¡¯s make a bet.¡± The corners of Xiao Yao¡¯s lips curled up as a glint flashed across his eyes.


    Wen Yu asked, ¡°What do you want to bet on ?¡±


    ¡°If Jinqi eats it, I¡¯ll do all your homework for a week.¡±


    Wen Yu agreed without hesitation. ¡°Deal.¡±


    When they returned to the classroom, they saw that Lu Jinqi had already woken up. She sat crossed-legged on her seat as her fingers constantly typed something on her phone.


    When they got closer, they saw that she had used a bomb to blow up her entire team.


    ¡°J-Jinqi, do you want some candy?¡± Wen Yu forced himself to look away and asked shakily.


    Lu Jinqi looked up and a pile of candy was placed on her table. She picked one up and put it into her mouth. ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The sweetness in her mouth spread and Lu Jinqi¡¯s mood was no longer that irritable.


    Wen Yu widened his eyes at this scene when he looked at her enjoying the treats.


    ¡°Wen Yu, you lost.¡± Xiao Yao looked as though he knew it would be like this. He smiled smugly at Wen Yu.


    ¡°You guys made a bet?¡± Lu Jinqi asked with interest as she placed another candy in her mouth.


    Wen Yu shrugged his shoulders and scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. ¡°I made a bet on whether you would eat candy, but in the end, I lost.¡±


    At this point, Wen Yu looked at Xiao Yao curiously. ¡°How did you know?¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised an eyebrow and stared at him with interest.


    ¡°Yesterday, I saw candy on your table, so I guessed that you would be someone who likes sweets.¡±


    The corners of Xiao Yao¡¯s lips curled up, his face full of pride. Realizing that he had been tricked, Wen Yu shot him an annoyed glance.


    Lu Jinqi clicked her tongue and averted her gaze once they started bickering with each other.


    ¡­


    ¡°Lanzhi, can you go to Class Six with me?¡± After thinking about it for the entire night, Song Yayin decided to go to Class Six. She gently hung onto Zhu Lanzhi¡¯s arm and a gentle smile on her delicate face appeared as she pleaded to her friend.


    Zhu Lanzhi could not resist her coquettishness and helplessly agreed, ¡°Sure, I really don¡¯t understand why you want to look for her though¡­¡±


    The two of them walked arm in arm to Class Six and saw Xiao Yao sitting in front of Lu Jinqi and saying something in a good hearted way.


    He did not look like a typical school bully at all.


    ¡°Hey, you there, can you help call Lu Jinqi from your class?¡± Song Yayin stopped a boy and asked in a gentle and polite voice.


    ¡°Oh, alright.¡± The boy looked at her blankly and nodded mechanically. ¡®I¡¯ve lived well. The school belle actually spoke to me, and she even smiled at me today.¡¯


    ¡°Hey, the school belle is looking for you,¡± the boy said before running away.


    Lu Jinqi glanced sideways and saw Song Yayin standing outside the door looking at her.


    ¡°Jinqi, aren¡¯t you going to go?¡± Wen Yu glanced at the two girls outside and pouted curiously.


    ¡°Nah,¡± Lu Jinqi said concisely.


    Xiao Yao yawned and patted his friend¡¯s head. ¡°Wen Yu, I notice that you¡¯ve been curious about everything lately. Why don¡¯t you become a reporter in the future?¡±


    Song Yayin saw that Lu Jinqi had not come out yet, and her anger surged up, but her expression did not change.


    ¡°Jinqi, I have something to talk to you about. Can you come out for a moment?¡±


    The students in Class Six kept looking between the two of them, and the gossip began to fill the air.


    Lu Jinqi raised one of her eyebrows and slowly made her way over. Then, she lazily leaned against the door. She narrowed her pitch-black eyes and said calmly, ¡°What.¡±


    ¡°Jinqi, how did you get into Minsong?¡± Looking at her face, Song Yayin tightened her fist to suppress her jealousy.


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi chuckled and slowly spoke with interest, ¡°I walked into school. Didn¡¯t you do that too?¡±


    She did not explicitly shout at her, but her jabs could be heard from the people closely.


    At first it was quiet, but suddenly, someone laughed out loud! Then it was followed by more laughter one after another.


    The question of the school belle was quite ridiculous.


    The smile on Song Yayin¡¯s face froze. She could clearly feel the ridicule in the eyes of those students looking at her.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it like that. It¡¯s just that you were studying at Defeng, then you suddenly transferred to our school, so I was a little concerned about you.¡±


    There was nothing wrong with that question. After everyone thought about it carefully, they finally understood. For a moment, the way everyone looked at Lu Jinqi changed. Disgust and suspicion spread in their hearts.


    Who would have thought that Lu Jinqi would only raise her eyebrows and calmly reply, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡±


    After saying that, she planned to leave. She did not want to continue this meaningless topic.


    However, Zhu Lanzhi forcefully grabbed her wrist and glared at her fiercely. ¡°Who do you think you are to talk to Yayin like that?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes turned cold when she saw her hand being grabbed. Even her whole demeanor changed to one of hostility.


    ¡°Let go.¡±


    Looking at the coldness in her eyes, Zhu Lanzhi felt the blood in her body freeze. She felt chills run down her spine and thought that she would freeze to death in the next second.


    She let go in a daze and dared not to speak back.


    Seeing how useless she was, Song Yayin stepped out to smooth things over and smiled. ¡°Jinqi, I¡¯m sorry, she¡¯s normally not like this.¡±


    She grabbed Zhu Lanzhi and pinched her arm. The pinched woman was so scared that she could not reply.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were filled with ruthlessness as she licked her red lips. ¡°Song Yayin, you should control your dog. Otherwise, based on the way she¡¯s acting, you might have to get her checked for rabies.¡±


    ¡°Woah!¡±


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air from that comment. The classroom corridor was silent from the shock.


    Jinqi had just shared her self-reflection essay yesterday, and today, she was openly threatening people. She even dared to annoy the school belle!


    Now, no one believed that Lu Jinqi¡¯s last words of excellence were meant as a compliment.


    Song Yayin¡¯s eyes reddened and tears flowed down her cheeks. Her shoulders trembled non-stop from the comment. ¡°Jinqi, are you still angry with me? Is that why you haven¡¯t been coming home?¡±


    ¡°Father and mother misses you very much.¡±


    Seeing her tear-stained face, everyone could not help but blame Lu Jinqi for rebelling against the school belle.


    ¡°Oh, the school belle is crying. You should hurry up and go back to your class to cry.¡± Xiao Yao crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes gradually turning cold.


    Song Yayin¡¯s cries came to an abrupt end. She did not know whether to cry or not to cry. For a moment, she was in a dilemma.


    Xiao Yao was helping Lu Jinqi.


    What right did she have to have help? Was it because she was pretty?


    ¡°Yayin, let¡¯s go back first.¡± Sensing that there were more and more people pulling their attention toward the commotion, Zhu Lanzhi pulled her back. She did not want her friend to lose her reputation.


    In the end, the two of them could only dejectedly leave Class Six.


    Not long after, the news of the two of them verbally duking it out had spread throughout the whole school. All the students who knew about it talked about it with relish.

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    As night fell, Lu Jinqi lazily sat in the corner of a bar. Her slender fingers held a cigarette, and the air was filled with smoke.


    A dim light shone on her face, obscuring her expression, adding a touch of mystery to her vibe.


    ¡°Hello, here¡¯s your wine.¡± The waiter placed the glass down respectfully.


    Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Jinqi from the corner of his eyes and could not help but click his tongue.


    This lady had attracted everyone¡¯s attention ever since she came in. Even though she quietly sat in the corner, many people still tried to sneak glances at her from time to time.


    After the cigarette had burned out, Lu Jinqi picked up the wine and downed it in one gulp.


    ¡°Gu Yichen, how dare you have the guts to still come look for me?¡±


    A familiar female voice sounded, and Lu Jinqi¡¯s interest was piqued. She changed into a comfortable position and looked at the people who were confronting each other not too far away.


    ¡°Xie Shuyao, you sent those photos, right?¡± Gu Yichen¡¯s face looked pale, and his eyes squinted at the other party.


    When she thought about those photos, Xie Shuyao¡¯s expression faltered.


    ¡°So what if I did? Since you were already such a sc*mbag, you shouldn¡¯t be afraid of people finding out,¡± Xie Shuyao admitted boldly.


    ¡®How dare you cheat on me? You should be glad that I didn¡¯t do anything far worse than this.¡¯


    No one wanted to be called a sc*mbag, and Gu Yichen was no exception.


    His face darkened, and he replied coldly, ¡°Xie Shuyao, you brought this on to yourself.¡±


    As soon as he said that, four or five boys stepped forward with wretched smiles.


    ¡°Master Yi, how far can we go?¡± A boy with red hair asked.


    Gu Yichen sat at the side and spat harshly, ¡°Do whatever you want. Just don¡¯t kill her.¡±


    At this moment, Xie Shuyao¡¯s expression changed. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she looked at these people warily.


    ¡°Gu Yichen, what are you trying to do? If you lay a hand on me, wouldn¡¯t you just be bringing trouble to the Gu family?¡±


    Gu Yichen sneered, ¡°Then we¡¯ll talk about it after I touch you. Shouldn¡¯t you do something about it?¡±


    The first sentence was for Xie Shuyao to hear, while the second sentence was for those people who watched.


    ¡°Gu Yichen, you¡¯re crazy.¡±


    ¡°Whatever, go.¡±


    After receiving the order, the few of them hungrily walked towards Xie Shuyao.


    After watching enough, Lu Jinqi stood up, dusted off the dust on her pants, and went forward to pull Xie Shuyao behind her.


    A girl suddenly appeared in front of the group!


    The few of them looked at her and sized her up with ill intentions.


    ¡°Yo, where did this young lady come from? Do you want to play with us as well?¡±


    Gu Yichen was also attracted by this petite face. A desire flashed across the depths of his eyes.


    ¡°Sure.¡± After quickly replying, Lu Jinqi picked up a wine bottle and swung it at the man¡¯s head.


    With a muffled sound, blood instantly flowed down from the man¡¯s face.


    Lu Jinqi licked her lips and smirked. Her entire body exuded hostility. ¡°How was that? Was it fun enough for you?¡±


    The bar suddenly became quiet. Everyone was dumbfounded by this turn of events.


    The man reached out to touch the blood that dripped on his face. When he saw the blood on his hand, he immediately pulled out a knife from his pocket and rushed over fiercely.


    ¡°Hey lady, be careful,¡± Xie Shuyao came back to her senses and quickly exclaimed a warning when she saw a knife rushing towards Lu Jinqi.


    Lu Jinqi turned to the side and effortlessly grabbed his wrist. She squeezed hard, and the knife dropped with a clank onto the floor. Then, she raised her foot and kicked the man¡¯s lower abdomen.


    It was a fast and ruthless action.


    Before the man could react, he was already lying on the ground. The pain from his lower abdomen made him break out in cold sweat.


    ¡°Grab her for me,¡± the man said through gritted teeth.


    Seeing this, the rest of them rushed forward.


    Lu Jinqi grabbed one of them and threw him over her shoulder. Sensing movements on her left, she dodged to the side.


    She grabbed the man¡¯s collar with one hand, pulled him forward, and punched him in the face.


    ¡­


    The moment Si Jingyun and the other two entered, they saw a rowdy Lu Jinqi.


    Qi Ye turned his head and teased, ¡°Master Jing, your little child is a little ruthless.¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun chuckled. ¡°Indeed.¡±


    Xie Lingchuan did not say anything. He frowned at the familiar person next to her. Why was that guy here?


    After finishing off the last person, Lu Jinqi¡¯s cold gaze landed on Gu Yichen. On the receiving end, Gu Yichen felt as though he was being stared down at by a wild beast. His legs started to tremble non-stop from the piercing gaze.


    ¡°Get lost.¡±


    All of a sudden, Gu Yichen and a few others ran off without even looking back.


    The scene was extremely baffling. No one expected that those thugs would get beaten up by a little girl. Initially, some people were prepared to call the police, but in the end, there was no need for that.


    ¡°Thank you for saving me,¡± Xie Shuyao said sincerely as she looked at her.


    Lu jinqi replied, ¡°No need, I just don¡¯t like how they acted.¡± Just as she turned around to leave, she bumped into a hard chest. When she raised her head, she saw Si Jingyun with a faint smile on his face. She had a bad feeling about this.


    It was just as she expected.


    Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest, ¡°Little child, why are you throwing yourself into my arms?¡±


    He deliberately dragged out his last syllable, causing Lu Jinqi¡¯s heart to skip a beat.


    Lu Jinqi took a step back and chuckled. ¡°It was an accident.¡±


    Si Jingyun acknowledged her hesitation and looked at her with an unreadable expression.


    As a romantic drama enthusiast, Xie Shuyao¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at them. She was on the verge of shouting them to just kiss already!


    ¡°Xie Shuyao, explain to me why you¡¯re here,¡± Xie Lingchuan said faintly.


    Xie Shuyao knew that voice very well. The moment she heard him, she knew that he was about to lose his temper. She thought to herself as she outwardly groaned, ¡®This is not going to end well.¡±


    ¡°Well, I wanted to come here first and wait for you guys. I don¡¯t know how Gu Yichen found out that I was here but he did, so he brought his men over to bully me, then everything else happened,¡± Xie Shuyao pouted angrily as she gestured to Lu Jinqi, implying that the petite girl had saved her.


    What else needed to be said apart from this?


    Xie Lingchuan glared at her, then thanked Lu Jinqi profusely. ¡°Thank you for tonight. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what would have happened to this girl. If you have any problems in the future, you can come and find me.¡±


    ¡°Lingchuan, what about Master Jing?¡± Qi Ye was never one to waste an opportunity to tease others, so he spoke with a mischievous grin.


    Instantly, Xie Lingchuan was confused and glanced at his side.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s expression was indifferent and there was not a single trace of emotion on his unreadable face.


    ¡°Thanks, I¡¯ll be leaving first,¡± Lu Jinqi said impatiently.


    ¡°I¡¯ll send you off,¡± Si Jingyun naturally blurted out.


    The two of them walked in front while Qi Ye struck his chin behind them. ¡°Do you think Master Jing is serious?¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re really curious, go ask him yourself,¡± Xie Ling Chuan rolled his eyes at him.


    ¡®Ask him myself?¡¯ Qi Ye shuddered at the thought. He would never, ever in his life ask such a question.


    ¡­


    Lu Jinqi looked at the car in front of her and whistled.


    Si Jingyun flicked her head. ¡°Little child, be more civilized.¡±


    Lu Jinqi did not reply. Was this guy too engrossed in calling her little child?


    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Si Jingyun asked as his hands lazily rested on the steering wheel.


    ¡°The hotel you were at last time,¡± she said as she closed her eyes to rest.


    The car started, and the silent drive made the atmosphere even more depressing.


    Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, but she had still not woken up.


    Si Jingyun tilted his head to look, and a literal sleeping beauty entered his line of sight.


    Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, Si Jingyun got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and leaned down.


    ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Feeling the unfamiliar gaze, Lu Jinqi opened her eyes and saw the structured and calculating face in front of her.


    Warmth spread around her body as Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze fell on her, exuding an aggressive aura.


    Jingyun smiled casually and leaned closer. ¡°What do you think?¡±

 Chapter 13

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The distance between them was less than a centimeter apart now. Si Jingyun could clearly feel her body stiffening and he could not help but laugh. It seemed that she did not have such guts to follow through.


    Not too far away, three people could be seen in another car staring at this scene in disbelief.


    ¡°Master Jing, aren¡¯t you moving a little bit too quickly?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re not moving fast enough. They should kiss today and go to the courthouse to get officiated tomorrow!¡± Xie Shuyao clapped her hands excitedly and spoke without restraint.


    Qi Ye saw this and shifted his body to the side, trying his best to stay away from her. ¡°You¡¯re crazy.¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Jinqi pushed him away and got out of the car herself.


    She did not even give him a glance.


    Si Jingyun ¡ª who was pushed away ¡ª casually leaned back in his car. He bent his long legs and stared at the back view of the angry child. He then let out a low chuckle.


    It seemed like he had to coax the little child more the next time they met.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master Jing, so¡­ How do you feel?¡± After returning, Qi Ye winked at Si Jingyun.


    Si Jingyun furrowed his brows. ¡°What do you mean how do I feel?¡±


    ¡°How did you feel when you kissed the young lady!¡± Xie Shuyao pushed Qi Ye away and moved closer to him. Her eyes were glowing. She could not help gossip.


    This was the first time Jingyun had experienced them eliciting such a reaction. He would have never expected them to react like this.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°You guys are so good at brainstorming crazy ideas. Should you all just be writers instead as your profession?¡±


    The two of them laughed. ¡°No, there¡¯s really no need.¡±


    Seeing that the two of them were defeated, Xie Lingchuan walked over and sat down with a smile on his face.


    ¡®F*ck, I guess I¡¯ll have to step in to stop this gossiping.¡¯


    Seeing him move, Xie Shuyao¡¯s eyes sparkled and she winked at him.


    However, Xie Lingchuan acted as if he did not see her. He even gloated over her misfortune. ¡°I think Master Jing is right. The two of you are indeed quite suitable for the publishing industry.¡±


    ¡°Haha, very funny.¡± Qi Ye glanced at him and said faintly.


    Xie Lingchuan smiled and looked at the other person seriously. ¡°Do you know how dangerous it was for you today?¡±


    Being questioned by him, Xie Shuyao lowered her head guiltily. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this to happen either.¡±


    ¡°Then tell me what were you thinking of doing such things!¡± Xie Lingchuan looked at her furiously.


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s small face fell and she remained silent.


    Qi Ye saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over. He changed the topic, ¡°Alright, what do you plan to do about this matter?¡±


    Xie Lingchuan said unhurriedly, ¡°I heard that the Gu family is mobilizing a large amount of liquid funds to bid for a project. Since Gu Yichen doesn¡¯t have the funds, this project might just go down the drain.¡±


    ¡°The Gu family has been scammed by Gu Yichen.¡± Qi Ye pretended to shake his head.


    Si Jingyun crossed his legs with a cigarette in his mouth and said lazily, ¡°Give that project to the Gu family.¡±


    Hearing this, the two of them looked at him in confusion.


    ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with the project. The Gu family won¡¯t be able to handle it.¡± Si Jingyun put out the cigarette and said in an extremely indifferent voice.


    Xie Lingchuan and Qi Ye never doubted Si Jingyun¡¯s words. Since he said so, then there must be something wrong with the project.


    Xie Shuyao sat at the side, drowsy, but she forced herself to stay awake.


    ¡°Shuyao, you should go home tomorrow.¡± Xie Lingchuan was still side-eyeing her as he spoke lightly.


    His words scared Xie Shuyao so much that she dared not to fall back asleep.


    She rolled her eyes at Xie Lingchuan. ¡°I¡¯m not going back. I want to go to that pretty lady¡¯s school.¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Two different answers were shared.


    Xie Lingchuan was stunned. ¡°Master Jing, you know how capable she is of causing trouble. If she really goes, she¡¯ll probably be in a lot of trouble in the future.¡±


    Xie Shuyao saw how he was slandering her, so she reached out and pinched his arm. Then, she made a funny face. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m going to report this tomorrow.¡±


    After saying that, she ran away happily.


    ¡­


    The next day.


    Cheng Xin appeared in the classroom with a girl. She placed her folders onto the podium as she spoke to garner her students¡¯ attention. ¡°There¡¯s a new student in our class today. Welcome her well.¡±


    Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Lu Jinqi, then at the girl on the podium. Recently, it seems to be popular for beautiful girls to transfer schools.


    Xie Shuyao came in and saw the person she wanted to see. She playfully blinked her eyes. ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Xie Shuyao. I¡¯ll be studying with everyone here from now on.¡±


    Xiao Yao had already been suspicious of her when he saw her. Now that he heard her name, he knew that his guess was correct. However, why would someone from the Xie family come here?


    ¡°Teacher, can I sit with her?¡± Xie Shuyao pointed to the back and spoke first.


    Cheng Xin looked over and saw an exquisite face. She could not help but worryingly shift her eyes.


    ¡°I refuse.¡± Xiao Yao placed his hands on the table casually. Without giving the new student a chance, he outright rejected her.


    Xie Shuyao was not angry at being rejected. Her fair and tender face smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face. It made people want to poke them.


    ¡°You can sit next to Wen Yu.¡± Cheng Xin measured her height and chose a seat according to the situation.


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s eyes brightened when she saw the placement of the seat. It was in front of the young lady! She happily walked over and placed herself on her designated seat.


    With that thought in mind, she walked over with light steps.


    ¡°Why do I feel like there¡¯s something wrong with the way this newcomer looks at Jinqi?¡± Wen Yu accidentally blurted out.


    ¡°Right? Doesn¡¯t it feel like she has an underlying intention that just feels¡­ not right?¡± Xiao Yao nodded in agreement.


    On the other hand, Lu Jinqi looked calm and did not spare anyone a glance.


    ¡°Hello pretty lady, we meet again.¡± As soon as she sat down, Xie Shuyao impatiently went over to greet her.


    Lu Jinqi frowned when someone suddenly leaned over. She changed her position and lazily leaned back on the chair. When she saw the girl, Lu Jinqi suddenly thought of that flirtatious man.


    ¡°Xie Shuyao, why are you here?¡± Xiao Yao reached out and shook her head, trying to push her away.


    Xie Shuyao rolled her eyes at the gesture, her eyes sparkled as she stared at Lu Jinqi with admiration in her eyes. ¡°I came to look for you¡­¡±


    Xiao Yao said, ¡°Jinqi, you know her?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were unreadable. Then, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Shuyao looked at her in dismay.


    ¡°Then why does she look like she¡¯s just been abandoned by you?¡± Xiao Yao pointed at her with a face full of disbelief.


    Lu Jinqi replied casually, ¡°She was just cheated on. Isn¡¯t that the same as being abandoned?¡±


    After saying that, Xie Shuyao¡¯s head hit the table.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that, we can still have a friendly conversation, right?¡±


    Xiao Yao clicked his tongue. ¡°Even someone like you got dumped? Harsh.¡±


    ¡°Go away,¡± she snapped. Then, she looked at Lu Jinqi with a gentle tone. ¡°Pretty lady, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    Xiao Yao was speechless. Was this double standard too obvious? Did he not deserve to be treated with respect?


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    Wen Yu accidentally laughed out loud. Yet another ruthless person who jabbed harder at Xiao Yao¡¯s ego.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi.¡±


    ¡°Qiqi, why are you staying at a hotel instead of staying at home?¡± Xie Shuyao thought back to the two times she saw Lu Jinqi at the hotel. She asked with a puzzled look on her face.


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi was stunned. Before she was reborn, or changed her life around, someone had said this to her as well.


    She remembered that every time she stayed in that old man¡¯s residence, he would always say, ¡°Why do you come to my place every day? Why don¡¯t you go home?¡±


    ¡°Jinqi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing that she did not respond, Xiao Yao waved his hand in front of her.


    Lu Jinqi snapped out of her thoughts and pressed her temples lightly. ¡°Nothing.¡±

 Chapter 14

    ¡°Are you really alright?¡± Xiao Yao asked worriedly.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Lu Jinqi nodded, pulling up her hoodie and lying down on the table. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. The huge hoodie covered her entire face.


    ¡°Oh, she fell asleep again,¡± Wen Yu said softly.


    The few of them quieted down, and the words that they wanted to say were stuck in their mouths.


    Lu Jinqi did not sleep well this time. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and pulled her hoodie tighter to hide the emotions in her eyes.


    ¡°Qiqi, where are you going?¡±


    ¡°The toilet,¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, and she quickly left the classroom.


    At that moment, the toilet was empty.


    ¡°Huh¡­¡±


    Lu Jinqi lifted her face and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were dim, but it looked like a storm brewed behind her eyes.


    She took out a cigarette impatiently and leaned against the wall, puffing on it.


    The smoke rose slowly, and in an instant, the entire toilet was filled with a smoky odor.


    Ever since she had entered this body, she had never dreamed of what had happened before.


    Before she was reborn, she was originally the heir of the Lu family before they died. Because she had been gifted since young, she learned everything quickly and was smarter than her peers. Gradually, people started to look at her strangely.


    Even now, she could still remember the fear in their eyes.


    After that, she was sent to the laboratory for research. She thought of a way to destroy the laboratory and the Lu family. That was the first time she found humor in other people¡¯s behavior.


    Every day, she would stay at an old man¡¯s place. That old man would always ask her why she did not want to go home, but in reality, she just never had a home.


    Later on, she made a lot of achievements, but in the end, there was a problem with her last experiment, and she accidentally blew it up.


    At the thought of this, Lu Jinqi sarcastically smiled.


    When Song Yayin saw this scene, she was surprised. Since when did Lu Jinqi start smoking?


    Hearing footsteps, Lu Jinqi raised her eyelids. When she saw who it was, she lowered her eyes without much interest.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, why are you here?¡± Song Yayin questioned.


    ¡°What are you doing in the toilet? Here to eat sh*t?¡± Lu Jinqi slowly moved closer to her and whispered in her ear.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Song Yayin scanned her surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, she gave her a slap.


    Lu Jinqi did not avoid it and raised her hand to soothe the sting. ¡°Why are you only thinking of attacking now?¡±


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, you¡¯re just a dog that my family brought back. What right do you have to be in the same school as me?¡± Song Yayin¡¯s face was no longer gentle. She looked at the person in front of her with hatred.


    If she had known earlier, she would have destroyed her face.


    ¡°Your family means nothing.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s ice-cold gaze was filled with wariness, it could even make people tremble in their seats.


    A chill rose from Song Yayin¡¯s back.


    ¡°My patience is limited. Don¡¯t come closer to me, understand?¡± Lu Jinqi patted her face and lowered her voice. Her entire body was filled with ruthlessness.


    After Lu Jinqi finished speaking, she threw the cigarette bud into the sink and walked out.


    ¡­


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Qiqi back yet?¡± Xie Shuyao leaned on the table and stared at the door with piercing eyes.


    Xiao Yao¡¯s hand trembled from her constantly asking about Jinqi. He resisted the urge to hit her and snorted coldly. ¡°You¡¯ve already asked about ten times. Why don¡¯t you go out and look for her yourself?¡±


    From the second Jinqi left, the new transfer student had asked about Jinqi¡¯s whereabouts every minute.


    Why did she not let Jinwi go to the bathroom in peace?


    ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to? If I didn¡¯t think that Qiqi was in a bad mood, I would have gone out to look for her myself,¡± Xie Shuyao gave him a discerning look and continued, ¡°obviously you won¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°Is Jinqi in a bad mood?¡± Wen Yu held a bag of potato chips and asked indistinctly.


    After saying that, he recalled what had happened and did not feel that there was anything wrong.


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°A girl¡¯s sixth sense, do you understand what that is?¡±


    Xiao Yao held his chin and pulled her hair wickedly. ¡°Not really.¡±


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s scalp suddenly hurt. She reached out and grabbed his head, wanting him to feel the pain too.


    While the few of them played around, Lu Jinqi slowly returned to her seat.


    ¡°Your relationship has warmed up quite quickly.¡± Lu Jinqi stood there lazily, a playful smile flashed across her lips.


    Hearing her voice, Xie Shuyao immediately turned around and looked at her obediently.


    Xiao Yao flattened his hair unnaturally, his gaze drifted to Jinqi as he smiled awkwardly. ¡°Hey, why were you gone for so long?¡±


    Lu Jinqi sat in her seat, her pale hands supported her face as she casually swirled the pen in her hand. ¡°Oh, I smoked a cigarette along the way.¡±


    No wonder she smelled like smoke.


    It seemed like Xie Shuyao was right. Jinqi was in a bad mood, so much so that she needed to take a smoke.


    Xiao Yao suddenly realized what was going on, and a bitter look appeared on his face. ¡°You smoked without me.¡±


    ¡°Without you my *ss.¡± Xie Shuyao slapped the back of his head, her face slightly cold.


    This slap caught Xiao Yao off guard. He touched the spot where he had been slapped. ¡°Xie Shuyao, are you crazy?¡±


    Xie Shuyao did not think that there was anything wrong with her. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s crazy. Qiqi went to the women¡¯s restroom, and you¡¯re implying that you should go there with her too?!¡±


    Seeing the two of them bicker, Lu Jinqi¡¯s mood lightened. She suddenly felt that school life was not that boring.


    ¡°Jinqi, here you go.¡± Wen Yu took out a handful of candy from the drawer and placed it on Lu Jinqi¡¯s desk.


    Lu Jinqi picked one up and placed it into her mouth. The sweetness quickly spread in her mouth.


    ¡°Fatty, where did you get the candy?¡± Xiao Yao looked at him as though he wanted to pry the truth out of fatty.


    Wen Yu chuckled. ¡°I bought it today.¡±


    Actually, ever since he found out that Lu Jinqi liked to eat sweets, his school bag had been filled with fresh batches of candies every day.


    This was the realization that he had as a fan.


    Xiao Yao instantly felt betrayed. They had agreed to lick her boots together, but he had secretly increased his own favorability.


    ¡­


    The class bell rang. Cheng Xin carried the lesson plan and a stack of papers onto the podium. ¡°These are the papers from the previous test. The class representative will help pass them out.¡±


    After the papers were handed out, Cheng Xin looked around with a serious expression. ¡°You are now in the third year of high school. This is a critical moment for you all. I hope that you will put all your energy into your studies.¡±


    Xiao Yao looked at the bright red sixty on his paper and grinned.


    It was much better than the last time.


    ¡°Hey bro, what¡¯s your score?¡± Wen Yu glanced at the podium and asked quietly.


    ¡°Sixty, not bad, right?¡±


    Hearing the score, Wen Yu¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Did you secretly study on your own?¡±


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s face twitched when she heard their conversation. There was definitely a problem with these two low IQ points airhead¡¯s conversation.


    ¡°Qiqi, what¡¯s your score?¡±


    Lu Jinqi looked at the zero on the paper, and her eyes raised in arrogance.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Xie Shuyao secretly took a look. In the end, she saw that the score was empty.


    How on earth did she get this score? Even if she chose B on all the multiple-choice questions, she could still get a few points.


    As though she could see her confusion, Wen Yu whispered, ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that her paper wasn¡¯t filled in at all?¡±


    Xie Shuyao looked at it carefully. ¡®D*mn it, it¡¯s blank.¡¯


    ¡°Why wasn¡¯t it filled in?¡±


    ¡°Because Jinqi was sleeping the entire time.¡±


    Sure enough, this was the style of a big shot.

 Chapter 15

    After class, Xiao Yao sat on his table. It was his first time doing so well on an exam, so he should reward himself for his hard work.


    ¡°Shall we have a barbecue tonight?¡± Xiao Yao suggested excitedly.


    A barbecue!


    Hearing these two words, Wen Yu¡¯s eyes lit up, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.


    To him, the happiest thing in life was barbecue and potato chips.


    ¡°Sure, where are we going to eat?¡± Xie Shuyao¡¯s interest was piqued as she agreed.


    Xiao Yao shook his feet and turned his head to the side, his eyes filled with anticipation. ¡°I know a really good place. Jinqi, are you coming with us?¡±


    Xie Shuyao and Wen Yu stared at her, hoping that she would go with them. However, their hopes were ultimately rejected.


    Lu Jinqi took her phone and sent a message. Without raising her head, she replied, ¡°I have something to do tonight, you guys can go.¡±


    Even though they expected to be rejected, they still felt a little disappointed.


    Xiao Yao hooked his arm around Wen Yu¡¯s neck. ¡°Looks like it¡¯s just the three of us.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Hello, Ms Lu. I¡¯m Mo Ting. I¡¯ve contacted you before,¡± Mo Ting was dressed in a professional outfit. In her left hand, she held a folder as she politely greeted her.


    When she received the message today, she was still very surprised. After all, she had called Lu Jinqi previously and sent her a message, but there had been no response.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Jinqi raised her head, her cold voice carrying a hint of uneasiness.


    Seeing her raise her head, Mo Ting was captivated.


    The girl¡¯s face was exquisite and eye-catching, her thin red lips slightly raised. The streetlight illuminated her features making her look charming.


    After regaining her senses, she could not help but suspect that this person did not look like an adult. So she had to make sure that she could afford a house.


    ¡°May I ask how old you are this year?¡± Mo Ting still had a professional smile on her face.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows slightly, but her smile did not reach her eyes. ¡°Why? Are you doubting me?¡±


    Mo Ting¡¯s expression did not falter. ¡°No, I¡¯m just curious. I¡¯ll take you to see the house now.¡±


    Soon, the two of them arrived at a residential area. To be precise, it should be described as a wealthy area.


    Within a time span, they saw many mansions closely connected to each other.


    ¡°Ms Lu, according to your request, there¡¯s a more suitable one in this residential area,¡± Mo Ting said as she looked at the documents in her hands.


    Lu Jinqi replied with a low grunt.


    Not too far away, Zhu Lanzhi saw a familiar profile and tugged at the person beside her. ¡°Yayin, isn¡¯t that person Lu Jinqi?¡±


    Song Yayin looked over and saw a white silhouette. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be. That place is for the rich and wealthy. Jinqi can¡¯t enter such places.¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi thought for a moment. It seemed to be the case, but the features of that lady looked quite recognizable.


    ¡°I must be seeing things then. Let¡¯s go in.¡±


    Song Yayin followed behind her. She could not help but take another look to confirm her sights, but to no avail. They had already left.


    ¡­


    Mo Ting brought Lu Jinqi around the entire house and asked, ¡°What do you think, Ms Lu?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, this is it.¡± After saying that, she handed the card over.


    Lu Jinqi did not have much of a request when choosing a house. The most important factor for her was to have a place to sleep in.


    It was the first time Mo Ting had seen such a straightforward customer. Mo Ting could not stop herself from smiling.


    Signing and swiping the card, her actions were really smooth.


    ¡°Well Ms Lu, I¡¯ll be heading out first,¡± Mo Ting held the contract in her hands and resisted the urge to scream. She then politely left.


    Lu Jinqi threw herself onto the sofa. When she saw the message on her phone with only 500 dollars left, she sighed.


    She just bought a house with 100 million dollars, she might as well have stayed in the hotel.


    Her slender fingers pressed a number and dialed.


    In country R, Netherworld was drinking coffee with his little sister. When he saw the caller on his phone, he abruptly stood up, causing his chair to make a loud noise.


    Everyone in the coffee shop looked over at the commotion he caused.


    The girl sitting next to him felt embarrassed and covered her face with the menu silently. She whispered, ¡°What the heck are you doing?¡±


    Netherworld came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at everyone before walking out with his phone.


    ¡°How strange. Why did you call me today, J? Is there a problem?¡±


    Lu Jinqi ignored his teasing and went straight to the point. ¡°Help me. I want to take on a few more cases.¡±


    Netherworld was surprised. He took his phone and looked at the screen. That¡¯s right, it was indeed J¡¯s number.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say a few days ago that you weren¡¯t taking cases? Why did you suddenly change your mind?¡±


    Lu Jinqi was at a loss for words. She could not possibly say she just bought a house, and all her belongings would be gone if she did not earn more money right now.


    ¡°I¡¯m short of money,¡± Lu Jinqi touched her nose and said concisely.


    This sentence seemed to have hit the punch line of the other party. Lu Jinqi heard the continuous laughter on the other end of the phone.


    Netherworld was delighted. As expected of J, there was no other reason.


    Thinking of the two recent orders, he wanted to watch her succeed again. ¡°There are two cases. The fees are very high. Do you want to take them?¡±


    Lu jinqi said faintly, ¡°How much?¡±


    ¡°Both are 100 million.¡±


    Lu Jinqi sat up and took out the laptop from her bag. As she turned on the laptop, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s on the list?¡±


    ¡°Old Cat and Si Jingyun are giving 100 million to those who can find J.¡±


    After hearing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s fingers paused for a moment.


    It was understandable for Old Cat to look for her, but why did that other man look for her?


    ¡°J, Old Cat is really angry this time. He offered me 100 million before sharing it, even I was tempted to take it on,¡± Netherworld teased.


    Once these two cases were shared, many people were tempted, but no one wanted to take them. The main reason was that no one could surpass J¡¯s skill yet.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t pick these two, what about the others?¡±


    ¡®Are you crazy? Why did you ask me for jobs but not take them?¡¯


    ¡°Not for the time being, I¡¯ll keep an eye out for you.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Jinqi hung up without saying a word.


    On the other side, the corners of Netherworld¡¯s mouth twitched as he looked at his phone. He really wanted to throw it away after that call.


    ¡­


    Lu Jinqi propped up her chin and casually browsed through the internet. At that moment, a novel website caught her interest. She clicked on it and saw the author¡¯s benefits column.


    She smirked. Suddenly, she realized that writing a novel was not that bad of an idea.


    If Netherworld heard this, he would definitely say that she was just interested in the author¡¯s royalties.


    Looking at the registration information in front of her, under the name column, Lu Jinqi immediately typed two letters, LQ.


    As for the title, it was even simpler. Sin of the Abyss, these four words to her title were confirmed.


    No one would have thought that Lu Jinqi would be the one who wrote the popular novel.


    As for writing the novel, Lu Jinqi did not feel anything. Her fingers continuously tapped on the keyboard, and in a short while, a flurry of creative words came out.


    She clicked on the publish button, turned off the laptop, and left the villa.


    She did not care about how much attention her novel had attracted, she just wanted royalties. She carried her bag, one hand in her trouser pocket, and walked towards the gate of the residential area.


    On the way, she met the man who spent 100 million to find J.


    Their eyes met.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    What a small world.


    Lu Jinqi felt a little guilty looking at this man, but she did not know why.


    Si Jingyun looked at her and chuckled. He walked towards her with his fit figure.


    His body was well-defined, and he stretched out his arm casually.


    He pinched her face in a slightly punitive manner. ¡°Little child, what are you doing here this late?¡±

 Chapter 16

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Feeling the pain on her face, Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and flicked his hand away.


    ¡°Old man, you have to be responsible for touching me like this. I can and will call child services on you.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he retracted his finger. ¡°Little child you need to learn how to be more reserved.¡±


    She carelessly placed her hand back into her trouser pocket, the warmth in her hand spread throughout her body.


    Her face was rather soft.


    Lu Jinqi narrowed her eyes, her bright red lips curved upwards. ¡°What is this? Double standards?¡±


    Si Jingyun paused for a moment. After understanding what she meant, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.


    On the other side, the two people who were qualified to act as backdrops widened their eyes as they watched this scene in shock. They even spoke in hushed tones.


    ¡°Did Master Jing just tease the young lady?¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel like a bright lamp post?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t told why you¡¯re out this late,¡± Si Jingyun said casually.


    Lu jinqi tugged on her backpack and blurted out, ¡°Tutoring.¡±


    The moment she finished speaking, the man in front of her lifted his eyebrow and stared at her with a faint smile.


    Si Jingyun smiled and said slowly, ¡°Are you teaching people how to get zero marks for sleeping during exams, or how to fight?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyelids twitched. She did not need to think to know who had told him about getting zero marks.


    ¡°Haha! Good one!¡±


    A laugh suddenly rang out. His question was definitely heard by the other two.


    Lu Jinqi looked over and saw the two men¡¯s shoulders shaking as they laughed non-stop.


    Xie Lingchuan saw her look over and nudged the person beside him with his elbow, immediately suppressing his laughter.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we usually don¡¯t laugh unless we can¡¯t help it,¡± Qi Ye said as he chuckled.


    Seeing this, Lu Jinqi raised her chin and said coldly, ¡°Id*ot.¡±


    Seeing her attitude, Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes curved into a smile. He walked over to her with one hand in his pocket and said lazily.


    ¡°Little child, I¡¯ll send you back.¡±


    ¡°Thanks for the offer, but I have a ride.¡±


    After saying that, Lu Jinqi waved her hand and walked towards the small yellow bike not too far away from the estate.


    Qi Ye watched her leave and cursed, ¡°Master Jing, your car can¡¯t compare to that small yellow ride.¡±


    ¡°Scram,¡± Si Jingyun said in a low voice.


    ¡­


    Xiao Yao and the other two were working hard to scoff food down. The entire table was filled with all kinds of skewers.


    ¡°Do the two of you know why Qiqi doesn¡¯t have a home?¡± Xie Shuyao took a bite of the skewers and mumbled.


    Hearing this, Xiao Yao gulped down a mouthful of alcohol. ¡°You didn¡¯t know?¡±


    ¡°Know what?¡±


    Wen Yu held the skewer in both hands and ate happily.


    ¡°Jinqi is an orphan.¡±


    Orphan?


    Xie Shuyao suddenly felt that the meat in her mouth was difficult to swallow. She never thought that such a girl would be abandoned by someone. Could it be that the person who abandoned her had a serious mental illness?


    ¡°Fatty is right. The news of Jinqi being an orphan and was adopted by the Song family has already spread around the school long ago.¡±


    Xiao Yao called for the owner to take another bottle of alcohol and filled it up for himself.


    Xie Shuyao was still a little stunned. ¡°The Song family?¡±


    ¡°Yes. You probably don¡¯t know about the wealthy families in Banyan City,¡± Xiao Yao said indifferently.


    After hearing this, Xie Shuyao fell silent. She took the bottle of alcohol and drank it all in one sitting.


    She grew up in a wealthy family and had seen many things.


    If a family did not have benefits, they would have no reason to adopt.


    Perhaps JInqi¡¯s life in the Song family was not going well, so she moved to a hotel.


    ¡­


    Under the dim streetlights, Lu Jinqi slowly rode her small yellow bike. The breeze blew past her hair, giving her a different kind of beauty.


    Suddenly, there was the sound of thunder rumbling, and heavy rain immediately poured down thereafter.


    Lu Jinqi was instantly drenched. She felt the rain stick on her body, and her brows were tightly knit. Her lips were slightly pursed from the sudden change in weather.


    ¡°F*ck.¡±


    When she returned to the hotel, she was drenched to the bone.


    The hotel receptionist wanted to help, but she saw Lu Jinqi¡¯s hostile behavior. With that, she decided to just greet Jinqi from afar and watch her go to her hotel room.


    After taking a shower, her mood did not improve, and she fell asleep.


    ¡­


    The next day.


    Minsong, Grade 12, Class Six.


    The physics teacher was giving a lecture in class when Xiao Yao and Wen Yu swaggered in.


    When the two of them saw Lu Jinqi¡¯s empty seat, they were stunned. Jinqi was late today.


    When the teacher on the podium saw the two of them like this, he could not help but angrily speak up. ¡°Xiao Yao, Wen Yu, are the two of you getting more and more unruly? You¡¯re not wearing your school uniform, plus you didn¡¯t give a report for being late!¡±


    Xiao Yao nodded perfunctorily. ¡°I¡¯ll be more careful with my time next time.¡±


    He was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and the teacher¡¯s anger grew. ¡°Next time?! Tell me how many times you¡¯ve said this. When will you change?¡±


    Wen Yu put down his school bag and said nonchalantly, ¡°Teacher, you can completely pretend that we don¡¯t exist. Just focus on your lessons.¡±


    Hearing this, the physics teacher slammed the table heavily, causing the chalk dust to fly everywhere.


    ¡°It¡¯s the other way around. How can you still be a student? I¡¯ve never met a student as arrogant as the both of you!¡±


    As he finished speaking.


    A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the door.


    ¡°Report.¡±


    For a moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the door.


    They only saw a girl wearing a school uniform leaning lazily against the door.


    Her black hair was casually tied up. Her overly eye-catching face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were filled with arrogance.


    When the teacher saw her, he almost screamed in anger. He had forgotten that there was in fact someone much more arrogant.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, where¡¯s your school bag?¡±


    Lu Jinqi pressed between her brows impatiently. After thinking for a moment, she said coldly.


    ¡°I threw it in the minivan.¡±


    Everyone burst into laughter.


    ¡®You¡¯re the ruthless one.¡¯


    Last night, it suddenly rained. Lu Jinqi was in a bad mood, so she threw her bike by the roadside, alongside her schoolbag.


    However, she did not forget to take the computer.


    The teacher was furious. ¡°Sure, I think your Class Six will be like this for the rest of their lives.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, you just need to chill and stop talking nonsense,¡± Lu Jinqi looked at him coldly. ¡°You¡¯re just a teacher, what right do you have to say that?¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s because the stars aren¡¯t aligned today,¡± Xie Shuyao said jokingly as she stretched.


    With that, everyone¡¯s gaze fell on the teacher¡¯s fuming head.


    Maybe she was right.


    ¡°You guys have no discipline at all, you¡¯re all just a bunch of trash in this society.¡± The teacher said as he picked up the lesson plan and stormed out of the classroom.


    In an instant, most of the class fell silent. The students in this class did not have good grades, so they were shoved into Class Six and looked down on by others.


    However, that did not mean that they really wanted to be called trash.


    ¡°What, are you all sad now?¡±


    Lu Jinqi propped her hands on the podium and looked at the students below, her lips curled into a cunning smile.


    There was silence. No one spoke.


    ¡°If you want to not be called trash by others, then prove to those people that you¡¯re not trash.¡± Lu Jinqi chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re not trash.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they stared at the girl on the podium. No one had expected Lu Jinqi, who was usually cold and unapproachable, to say something like that.


    ¡°Remember, there¡¯s no such thing as trash, only those who don¡¯t want to work hard,¡± Lu Jinqi said indifferently and walked towards her seat.


    ¡°What the f*ck, Jinqi, you¡¯re like an entirely different person today,¡± Xiao Yao said impatiently when he saw her sit down.


    On the other hand, Xie Shuyao and Wen Yu both had looks of admiration on their faces.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the teacher¡¯s office, a few of them happily chatted about their day, not until they saw the physics teacher from Class Six walk in angrily. They exchanged worried glances with each other. What was going on?


    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you supposed to be in class? What¡¯s going on?¡± The one who asked was a chemistry teacher. She looked at him in shock and asked.


    Du Zhuo took a big gulp of water and began to complain, ¡°It¡¯s all because of those students from Class Six. It¡¯s one thing for them not to learn all day long, but today, they even contradicted me in front of the other students.¡±


    Another young man¡¯s expression was gentle as he said disapprovingly, ¡°Teacher Du, no matter what, you¡¯re still a teacher. How can you say that students are ignorant and incompetent?¡±


    The person beside the man tugged at him, signaling for him to shut up.


    Du Zhuo¡¯s expression turned even darker, he did not expect someone would speak up to defend Class Six.


    With a glance, he laughed disdainfully, ¡°I was wondering who said that. So it¡¯s the new Teacher Bai. Since you¡¯re acting this noble, why don¡¯t you go ahead and teach physics for Class Six?¡±


    The office was silent all of a sudden. All eyes were focused on both of the men.


    Bai Luoyan suddenly clenched his fists and replied without hesitation, ¡°Sure. What can a teacher like you teach students anyways?¡±


    Everyone present was smart. They all knew what he was trying to imply.


    ¡°Then I¡¯d like to see if you can teach them well. I¡¯ll talk to the principal about this matter immediately,¡± Du Zhuo laughed instead of getting angry.


    Seeing him leave, a teacher who built a good relationship with Bai Luoyan could not help but speak up.


    ¡°Why did you have to act that impulsively? Do you know how hard it is to teach Class Six? First of all, let¡¯s not even mentioned about their grades. Just Xiao Yao and Wen Yu¡¯s existence would be enough to give you a headache.¡±


    After saying this, the teacher thought for a moment before adding, ¡°Lu Jinqi, who just transferred to their class, is the same. She fought with her classmates during the first day of school.¡±


    Bai Luoyan¡¯s expression did not change at all after hearing this. He had long heard what this teacher said. However, as a teacher, no matter what kind of students they were, he would never give up on them.


    ¡°I believe I can do it.¡±


    Seeing this, the other teacher no longer tried to dissuade him. He shook his head. ¡°You¡¯re just going to end up turning a wall and hitting it.¡±


    He was still too young and hopeful.


    It was true that newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, but the students in Class Six were not tigers, they were apparently much worse than that.


    ¡­


    ¡°Qiqi, why do I feel that you don¡¯t look too well?¡± Xie Shuyao stared at her and finally realized that something was wrong.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lu Jinqi rubbed her temples, tugging at the collar of her school uniform and lying on the table.


    At that moment, a hand suddenly pressed against her forehead. Feeling the burning sensation under her palm, Xie Shuyao cried out in alarm.


    ¡°You have a fever!¡±


    No wonder her face was flushed and she felt that it was hot. She did not know that she was sporting a fever.


    ¡°Qiqi, let¡¯s go to the nurse¡¯s office,¡± said Xiao Yao. He was about to pull Lu Jinqi up, but she shoved his hand off her.


    Lu Jinqi closed her eyes as sweat beads pooled on her forehead. She said faintly, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±


    Seeing this, Wen Yu frowned and said softly to Xiao Yao and the rest, ¡°If she isn¡¯t willing to go¡­ Then what do we do now?¡±


    How would they know what to do? It was not like they were not familiar with her temper. If she said she was not going, then there was nothing they could do.


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s face was filled with worry. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind, and her eyes lit up. ¡®That¡¯s right, I can look for Master Jing. I¡¯m such a smart person.¡¯


    ¡°I have a way.¡± Xie Shuyao dialed without hesitation s thought of an idea.


    Xiao Yao and Wen Yu looked at each other and asked. ¡°What¡¯s she going to do?¡±


    Soon, they heard Xie Shuyao talking about Lu Jinqi¡¯s fever on the other end of the phone. Not long after, she hung up.


    Xiao Yao curled his lips. ¡°Xie Shuyao, who were you talking to just now?¡±


    Xie Shuyao gave a mysterious smile. ¡°Someone who can take Qiqi to the hospital.¡±


    ¡­


    On the other side of the phone, Xie Lingchuan hung up the call and glanced at the person who was resting. He hesitated and did not know how to approach the matter at hand.


    ¡°Lingchuan, who called? Why do you look so constipated after answering it?¡± Qi Ye asked curiously when he saw him like this.


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s constipated.¡± Xie Lingchuan gave him a fierce kick.


    Pain instantly came from his calf. Qi Ye hugged his leg and started wailing. ¡°F*ck, Xie Lingchuan, you really kicked me for that?¡±


    When Xie Lingchuan heard this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, the two of you.¡± Si Jingyun swept a cold glance at the both of them, his tone was cold.


    Xie Lingchuan looked at him and thought of Xie Shuyao¡¯s plea. He steeled his heart and said, ¡°Master Jing, Shuyao just called and said that Lu Jinqi is sick and refuses to go to the nurse¡¯s office.¡±


    Si Jingyun looked up. ¡°She¡¯s sick?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, Shuyao said that they couldn¡¯t do anything about it, and then she thought of you.¡±


    After saying this, the corners of Xie Lingchuan¡¯s mouth twitched. Master Jing seemed to be inwardly listening and not outwardly expressing his thoughts.


    He knew that Master Jing was a little interested in that girl, but perhaps it may not be to this extent.


    However, after he heard what Lingchuan said, Si Jingyun strode out with long and slender legs.


    Qi Ye and Xie Lingchuan¡¯s thoughts were the same. Then, one of them saw Si Jingyun¡¯s actions and exclaimed.


    ¡°Master Jing, you¡¯re not actually going to go, are you?¡±


    A black figure replied.


    ¡­


    ¡°Qiqi, wake up.¡± When she received the call and found out that Si Jingyun had already arrived at the school gate, Xie Shuyao poked the sleeping girl awake.


    When she was woken up, Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes turned red and she looked extremely tired.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Hervoice was hoarse, so Xie Shuyao smiled shyly. ¡°Can you follow me out for a while?¡±


    At that moment, she dared not to speak the truth.


    Lu Jinqi stared at her for two seconds before saying decisively, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±


    Xie Shuyao had expected her to be rejected, so her face fell. She looked at Lu Jinqi with tears welling up, not saying a word.


    Under such a strong gaze, no matter how calm Lu Jinqi was, she could not take it. She scratched her hair in frustration. ¡°Fine, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Having achieved her goal, Xie Shuyao gave herself a thumbs up in her heart and happily brought Lu QJinqi out.


    Xiao Yao and Xie Shuyao ¡ª who had witnessed her change of expression ¡ª were speechless.


    They could not believe that acting coquettishly worked for Lu Jinqi.


    Lu Jinqi followed Xie Shuyao to the school gate and saw the familiar Bugatti parked idly by.


    ¡°Give me an explanation for this.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s whole body was tired, and her dark eyes were filled with coldness.


    Xie Shuyao said, ¡°Well, I just accidentally called my brother, and then¡­¡±


    The rest of her words were stuck in her mouth when she felt Lu Jinqi¡¯s intense gaze getting stronger and stronger.


    Lu Jinqi knew that she had good intentions, so in the end, she said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t want this to happen a second time.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I promise.¡± She might consider breaking this if desperate time calls for desperate measures. However, she dared not to tell Lu Jinqi this, so Xie Shuyao only nodded fiercely after promising.


    The man in the car saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he pushed open the door and got out of the car. Until now, Si Jingyun still did not understand why he had come.


    Perhaps it was because the little child had always looked at him endearingly, so he could not let her go.


    ¡°Jinny,¡± the man¡¯s voice was low and alluring, attracting the others¡¯ attention.


    Hearing the man¡¯s call, Lu Jinqi stopped in her tracks.


    No one had ever called her Jinny for a long time, and no one knew that this was her favorite nickname to be called as.


    ¡°Jinny, why aren¡¯t you talking to me?¡± Si Jingyun said nonchalantly.


    Lu Jinqi narrowed her beautiful eyes. ¡°Why did you suddenly come to school?¡±


    The cold and elegant man raised his brows, his lips curled into a smile. Jinqi¡¯s heart skipped a beat with that one gesture.


    ¡°I heard that you refused to go to the nurse¡¯s office, I had to come here and arrest you for not following orders.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    How did he say that so confidently in public?!

 Chapter 18

    Si Jingyun ruffled the girl¡¯s hair. When he saw a small irritated ball of cuteness, his eyes lit up with a smile.


    ¡°Jinny, get in the car.¡±


    His sudden act of intimacy made Lu Jinqi¡¯s mind go blank for a moment.


    Her eyelids twitched and she smiled. ¡°I¡¯m actually fine, you can go.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want me to carry you there?¡±


    Si Jingyun bent down and whispered in her ear. The last word he said seemed slightly seductive.


    In Xie Shuyao¡¯s eyes, the way they acted seemed like a couple¡¯s interaction, making her excited.


    ¡®This couple is going to be sweeter than the candy Qiqi eats.¡¯


    She did not expect Si Jingyun to say something like that, so Lu Jinqi¡¯s pupils constricted slightly as she slipped past him.


    She was afraid that this man would keep his promise. She quickly walked towards the car, opened the door, and sat down.


    Seeing her like this, Si Jingyun chuckled softly.


    After the two of them got into the car, Qi Ye ¡ª the very observant street lamp ¡ª closed the partition between them.


    After Lu Jinqi got into the car, she did not say a word. There was a faint pine fragrance in the car, just like the smell on this man¡¯s body. Smelling the fragrance, Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyelids became heavier and heavier, and in the end, she fell asleep.


    Si Jingyun turned his head and saw that she had already started to sleep soundly against the headrest. He could not help but laugh.


    ¡°Qi Ye, raise the temperature,¡± Si Jingyun said faintly as he opened the partition.


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Qi Ye tapped on the screen to change the temperature. He looked up and saw his boss gently leaning her head against his shoulder. Most importantly, he took off his coat and covered her body.


    He was baffled! ¡®There was a blanket behind me dude. Are you really the Jingyun I know?¡¯


    ¡°Master Jing, are we going to the hospital?¡± Despite his surprise, Qi Ye still remained calm.


    ¡°Go to Graceland Manor.¡±


    ¡­


    The car drove all the way to Graceland Manor and finally stopped at the entrance. When the car stopped, he thought that the person beside him would wake up, but to no avail.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s expression changed. He stretched out his hand and realized that the girl¡¯s temperature had rapidly risen from the time they left the school.


    ¡°Get Yu Ze.¡± He quickly ordered someone nearby, sounding harsh. Then, Si Jingyun hastily carried the girl and quickly walked into the house.


    When the butler heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head. To his surprise, he saw his young master carrying someone upstairs. He could not help but rub his eyes. Was he seeing things? The person in the young master¡¯s arms seemed to be a girl.


    Upstairs, Si Jingyun carefully placed Lu Jinqi on the bed and asked coldly, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Yu Ze here yet?¡±


    ¡®Master Jing, it¡¯s only been less than three minutes. Even if Doctor Yu can fly, it¡¯ll be impossible for him to get here this quickly.¡¯ Qi Ye laughed bitterly as he thought to himself. He thought better than to say somelike like that so he only reassured his friend, ¡°He¡¯s on his way.¡±


    Five minutes later, a bespectacled man wearing a white lab coat appeared in Graceland Manor.


    ¡°Master Jing, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Ze saw a girl lying on Si Jingyun¡¯s bed the moment he entered the room and turned around to ask.


    ¡°She has a fever. Go and take a look,¡± Si Jingyun ignored his frantic movements and only spoke slowly.


    The time taken for the doctor to arrive had made him realize that he was acting overly nervous.


    Not hearing the answer he wanted, Yu Ze shrugged and went forward to take the girl¡¯s temperature. When he saw the number on the thermometer, he exclaimed, ¡°Forty degrees? This young lady is a ruthless person.¡±


    ¡°If you continue talking sh*t out of your mouth, I know different ways to shut you up if you want to continue on with your research.¡± Si Jingyun looked at him coldly, his entire demeanor was filled with hostility.


    The moment he finished speaking, Yu Ze¡¯s lips stiffened. ¡®Withdrawing the investment just because of a disagreement, are you even listening to yourself?¡¯ However, he did not have the guts to say this. For the sake of future research, he quickly injected the fever reduction needle into Lu Jinqi¡¯s body.


    ¡°Alright, the fever-reducing liquid has been injected. If nothing goes wrong, she¡¯ll probably wake later in the night.¡± Yu Ze stood up and passed the medicine in his hand. ¡°Give her these two pills when she wakes up.¡±


    After receiving the medicine, Si Jingyun mercilessly chased the doctor away. ¡°You can leave now.¡±


    After hearing that, Yu Ze widened his eyes with a look of complaint. ¡°No way, Master Jing. With all due respect, I rushed over immediately when I received the call. Now you¡¯re chasing me away without even offering a cup of tea? It¡¯s just not good common hospitality, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Qi Ye, bring him down to have a good cup of tea. Don¡¯t leave until he¡¯s full of it.¡± Si Jingyun¡¯s expression was indifferent and there was no trace of a joke on his face.


    Qi Ye smiled slightly. ¡°Alright, Doctor Yu, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Hearing this, Yu Ze dared not to drink any more tea thereafter the random midnight disaster call. He picked up his medical kit and left the place immediately. One could hear his mumbles from afar as he left. ¡°Si Jingyun, d*mn it, I won¡¯t come again the next time you ask.¡±


    Hearing that, Si Jingyun raised his perfectly crafted eyebrows. It seemed like he had emotionally invested too much in this little child.


    ¡­


    It was already night time when Lu Jinqi woke up. She looked at the decorations in the room and frowned.


    She was in that man¡¯s room.


    She stood up and walked out. When she smelled the aromatic fragrance in the air, she went straight downstairs. Then, she saw the man sitting leisurely on the sofa, looking down at a few documents. Perhaps he heard the sound of her footsteps, because when he looked up, their eyes met.


    ¡°I never expected to experience your virtuous side.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s thin lips curled up as she looked meaningfully in the direction of the kitchen.


    At that moment, Si Jingyun understood what the child said and put down the documents in his hands. His gaze had a deep meaning as a mischievous look flashed across his eyes. His sultry voice carried with a hint of a smile.


    ¡°Jinny, you must be sick, are you dreaming of me?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Just as the two of them intently looked at each other, the kitchen door opened and a middle-aged woman appeared with a bowl of porridge.


    When she saw Lu Jinqi, she smiled. ¡°Ms, you¡¯re awake. Please come sit down and have some porridge.¡±


    Lu Jinqi could not refuse her kindness, so she walked over and sat down.


    ¡°Thank you for the meal.¡±


    ¡°Ms, you can just call me Yena.¡± This was the first time the woman had seen such a good-looking and polite girl, and her heart was immediately filled with love.


    Lu Jinqi lowered her head and took a sip of porridge, instantly feeling warm in her stomach.


    ¡°Yena, my name is Lu Jinqi. I¡¯m sorry for disrupting your sleep late at night to cook porridge for me,¡± Lu Jinqi said apologetically.


    Yena hurriedly shook her head. ¡°Ms Jinqi, you¡¯re much too kind.¡±


    Si Jingyun stood up and poured a glass of water, placing the medicine and water on the table. ¡°Take the medicine first before eating.¡±


    Lu Jinqi glanced at him, acting as though she didn not hear him, and slowly took another spoonful of porridge.


    Si Jingyun knocked on the table at a moderate pace. His deep voice was filled with an unyielding tone.


    ¡°Jinny, take your medicine.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be this good at helping others. Now, you¡¯re even making sure I take my meds.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she swallowed the medicine.


    Who would have thought that just as she finished speaking¡­


    Si Jingyun placed both his hands on the back of her chair. The corners of his lips curled up as he said nonchalantly, ¡°Are you implying that I¡¯m meddling in other people¡¯s business.¡±


    When Yena saw this scene, the smile in her eyes could not be contained and she quietly retreated.


    This was the first time she had seen the young master bring a girl home, and he was being very gentle. It seemed like the old master did have to worry about him finding love.


    Lu Jinqi saw this and calmly took the bowl and finished the porridge. She did not care how intimate their positions currently were.


    ¡°So, do you want some porridge?¡± Lu Jinqi looked at the porridge in her bowl and asked with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.


    She originally wanted to tease this man, but who would have thought that this man would not play by the rules.


    ¡°If you feed me, I¡¯ll consider it.¡±


    The man¡¯s eyes were hard to read, and his face was impassive as he spoke. He chuckled softly, surprised at what he had just said.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lu Jinqi watched as the man said this without batting an eyelid. She placed the bowl on the table and pushed him away.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to not only be good looking and kind, but also this lazy in feeding yourself.¡±


    Si Jingyun leaned against the table with a smile on his face.


    ¡°Should I take it as a compliment? Or is there more?¡± He then added concisely, ¡°You¡¯re good looking too, for your information.¡±


    Lu Jinqi was stunned and looked at him in surprise. Her eyes expressed many emotions and she did not know what to say. Si Jingyun covered her eyes and spoke slowly.


    ¡°Jinny, it¡¯s against the rules to look at me like that.¡±


    Every time he spoke like that, his last syllable drawled out like he planned on seducing someone.


    It could not be any more coquettish.


    ¡­


    MinSong, Class One.


    ¡°Yayin, did you know that something happened to Class Six yesterday?¡± Early in the morning, Zhu Lanzhi walked up to Song Yayin and immediately gossiped about what she heard yesterday.


    Song Yayin looked at her excitedly. ¡®Could it be related to Lu Jinqi?¡¯


    Sure enough, in the next second, Zhu Lanzhi could not hold it in any longer and shared everything she knew. ¡°I heard that Lu Jinqi was late yesterday and rebelled against the teacher in front of everyone. He was so angry that the physics teacher in his class slammed the door and left.¡±


    Such a thing actually happened?


    Song Yayin suppressed the excitement in her heart, but her expression did not change.


    ¡°Jinqi wouldn¡¯t be like this.¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi looked at her helplessly. She did not understand why she still trusted Lu Jinqi, even till now.


    ¡°Yayin, why do you have so much faith in her? Has Lu Jinqi ever treated you well?¡± Zhu Lanzhi could not go on like this, so she asked bluntly.


    Song Yayin¡¯s petite face froze, and her brown eyes dimmed. ¡°Jinqi is still mad at me. I don¡¯t care, I really don¡¯t care.¡±


    As if to prove that she was fine, she emphasized it once more.


    However, when Zhu Lanzhi heard this, she secretly thought, ¡®I definitely won¡¯t let Lu Jinqi off the hook for treating you like this.¡¯


    Song Yayin had been observing her friend¡¯s expression the entire time. When she saw the fierce expression on her face, she lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile.


    ¡­


    Class Six.


    Lu Jinqi walked into the classroom empty-handed, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°D*mn, Jinqi isn¡¯t even wearing her school uniform.¡±


    ¡°Qiqi, are you feeling better?¡±


    Xie Shuyao cupped her chin and asked with concern.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Lu Jinqi nodded and sat lazily in her seat.


    She crossed her legs, took out a candy from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and played a game on her phone.


    This went on for quite a while.


    ¡°Jinqi, let¡¯s play together. I¡¯m a great hunter, I can carry us to victory.¡± After Xiao Yao said this, he could not wait to take out his phone.


    The two people in the front row did not want to be left behind, so they said in unison, ¡°Me too, me too.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows, a smile appearing as she looked at the few of them.


    Alright, a four player stack.


    Just a minute after the game started, Xie Shuyao, who was in front, shouted, ¡°Ahhhhh, someone hit me, Qiqi, come and save me.¡±


    Lu Jinqi unhurriedly picked up a gun and shot the other person, successfully killing him. However, this was only the beginning.


    The next moment, the people in the classroom heard three screams, one after another, as though they were in a real war.


    ¡°JInqi, come quickly. There¡¯s a team of people near me. I need your help.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yao, can a man like you have some dignity? Qiqi, ignore him. Come to my place quickly. I feel like there are people around me, I don¡¯t think I can get out.¡±


    ¡°F*ck, Xie Shuyao, this isn¡¯t like you.¡±


    ¡°Both of you, be quiet. Jinqi came to my place instead, I want to grab the air drop loot.¡±


    ¡°Fatty, get lost,¡± Xie Shuyao and Xiao Yao cursed at the same time.


    After one game, the three of them continuously called for help. Lu Jinqi was either on the way to save them or on the way to kill them, she had not decided.


    In the end, the big shot brought three noobs and successfully had a winner winner chicken dinner.


    The three of them looked at the title Lucky on their phone screen and smiled bitterly.


    The big shot that carried them had such a menacing force in the came, of course they were lucky.


    ¡°You barely had six kills,¡± Lu Jinqi looked to the side with a faint smile.


    Xiao Yao could not help but be taken aback. ¡°It¡¯s a one time thing. I¡¯m usually very good at playing.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Lu Jinqi looked at him meaningfully, her finger tapped on the screenas proof.


    Xiao Yao glanced at her movements. When he saw the results on his game page, he snatched the phone away.


    He smiled awkwardly but politely.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for class, let¡¯s play again next time.¡±


    The two people in the front row looked at him with a look of admiration. He dared to snatch the big shot¡¯s phone. His courage was commendable.


    Lu Jinqi rested her head on her hand and said lazily, ¡°Give me the phone.¡±


    Xiao Yao looked at the phone in his hand and realized that he had snatched her phone out of excitement. He shakily handed it over.


    ¡°Jinqi, let¡¯s talk it out. If you don¡¯t look at my results, we can still be friendly deskmates.¡±


    Lu Jinqi nodded and unhurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, having no wins is still counted as a result as well.¡±


    The two people in the front row who were eavesdropping laughed out loud.


    Sister Qi¡¯s words pierced him straight through his heart and Xiao Yao could not think of any other way to retort her back,


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ..


    ¡°Students, get ready for class,¡± Bai Luoyan said in a gentle voice.


    The girls in the classroom blushed when they saw the teacher appear.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this?¡± Lu Jinqi glanced up and said casually.


    ¡°The new physics teacher.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi put on her headphones and started another game.


    The moment Bai Luoyan entered the classroom, he saw a girl with delicate features. With just one glance, he retracted his gaze and focused on the lesson plan for the class.


    He wrote a question on the blackboard and looked down. ¡°Next, I¡¯d like to invite a student to come up to solve the problem. Does anyone want to volunteer?¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads, wishing they could dig a hole and hide.


    Bai Luoyan could not help but smile when this common scene appeared. Was answering a question really thatdaunting?


    He glanced around and saw a girl lazily playing with her phone.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, how about you give it a try?¡±


    All of a sudden, everyone turned to look.


    ¡°Jinqi, the teacher is calling you!¡± Xiao Yao pulled down her earpiece and said softly.


    Lu Jinqi looked up. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Bai Luoyan smiled. ¡°Come up and answer the questions.¡±


    Lu Jinqi looked at the questions on the board and fell silent.


    The questions were all so simple nowadays.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how.¡±


    After saying that, she was about to put on her earpiece back.


    Bai Luoyan did not get angry. His voice stayed calm throughout the lesson. ¡°I heard that you told your classmates yesterday that only those who work hard survive. You should lead by example.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with maliciousness.


    Her red lips curved slightly, and her voice was casual and lazy.


    ¡°But I just want to be a good-for-nothing trash, waiting to die.¡±


    Her words rendered Bai Luoyan speechless.


    After calming himself down, he persevered yet again, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re wrong with that.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Lu Jinqi held her chin and said with interest, ¡°Then what do you think is the right anser, teacher?¡±


    Bai Luoyan perked up and cleared his throat. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s to study hard and get into the best university.¡±


    When Lu Jinqi heard this, a hint of a sparkling glint flashed across her eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, a person like me who only wants to be a good-for-nothing trash can only inherit trash,¡± Lu Jinqi said nonsense with a straight face.


    After she finished speaking, faint laughter could be heard from the whole class. With a glance, almost everyone¡¯s shoulders were trembling, keeping themselves from laughing too loudly.


    Jinqi even dared to say where she would get the inheritance from.


    Bai Luoyan was speechless. He did not expect this student to be this unconventional.


    He could only give up and solve the problem himself. Otherwise, if this continued on, the entire class would be over.

 Chapter 20 - Expel Jinqi

    Chapter 20 Expel Jinqi


    ¡°Jinqi, you were really daring doing that,¡± Wen Yu said as he gave her a thumbs up.


    ¡°What do you mean? I enjoyed today¡¯s class.¡± Lu Jinqi looked at him casually. The last sentence was obviously threatening.


    Wen Yu¡¯s body stiffened. Could her double standards be any more obvious?


    Resigned to fate, he retracted his head, straightened his back and focused on the class suspension.


    Xiao Yao smiled. ¡°Fatty, why aren¡¯t you talking anymore? With just a word from Jinqi, you instantly became a good student!¡± As he spoke, he kicked Wen Yu¡¯s chair.


    Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his back. He turned his head abruptly and saw Lu Jinqi looking at him calmly.


    ¡°Go on then,¡± Lu Jinqi said with a faint smile.


    With that gaze, how could he dare say anything else? He was sure that if he continued on, he would be the next one on the short end of the stick.


    Xiao Yao shook his head fiercely and obediently took out a book. He stared at the board with a serious expression.


    Seeing this, Lu Jinqi lowered her head to play a game.


    On the podium, Bai Luoyan sighed. Why did such a beautiful girl have no aspirations?


    During the night, in the Song family¡¯s household. Song Yayin¡¯s family of three sat at the dining table and quietly ate. Suddenly, Song Yayin looked troubled and stammered something, ¡°So¡­ about Jinqi.¡±


    Before she could finish, Song Zhilin interrupted her. ¡°What about her?¡±


    Ever since that girl left the hospital, she had not returned to the Song family¡¯s residence. She had been called many times and refused to answer, so he could not be bothered about her anymore.


    To the Song family, Lu Jinqi¡¯s only use was being a blood bank.


    Song Yayin carefully looked at the two of them and said gently, ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened to Jinqi, but she hit someone on the first day she transferred to school. Yesterday, she was so angry that she ran away from the physics teacher in her class.¡±


    Just as she finished speaking, Song Zhilin angrily slammed his chopsticks on the table.


    He knew that when Lu Jinqi transferred to Mingsong, Shumin had mentioned it to him. Even though he did not know how she got in, her every move represented the Song family.


    Beating up a classmate, running away from a teacher in anger, all of these would make the Song family become the laughing stock of the industry.


    COL


    ¡°Yayin, why would you only now speak up about it?¡± Zheng Shumin saw her husband¡¯s angered outburst and looked at her daughter disapprovingly. Song Yayin blinked. ¡°I just heard it from Lanzhi today.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give her a call later and tell her to scram back.¡± Song Zhilin waved his hand and told them to continue eating.


    Song Yayin held her bowl and lowered her head as she ate. The corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly. After the meal, Song Zhilin left to make a call. He heard a cold voice saying that the number he had dialed was not available. His expression instantly darkened. He had been blacklisted from this number.


    Song Yayin, who was observing his situation, asked when she saw his change in attitude once again.


    ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Song Zhilin did not answer. He reached out his hand. ¡°Give me your phone.¡±


    He took Song Yayin¡¯s phone and dialed again. This time, the call went through.


    Lu Jinqi was sitting quietly in her new home, lazily browsing through yjr M.K. website. Her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it but did not pick it up.


    The phone continued to ring a few more times. Her eyes darkened and she picked up the call in annoyance.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, get your ass back here.¡±


    On the other end of the phone was Song Zhilin¡¯s furious roar.


    Lu Jinqi lazily leaned against the sofa, her tone was lazy as she replied. ¡°You¡¯re so angry, be careful not to hurt your liver again.¡±


    Song Zhilin¡¯s face froze, his hands clenched tighter around the phone in anger. He resisted the urge to throw the phone away, gritting his teeth as he said, ¡°Lu Jinqi, don¡¯t think that just because you moved out and found an unknown financier, I can¡¯t reach you. Hurry up and get back here.¡±


    When Lu Jinqi heard this, a lazy smile hung on her face, but it did not reach her eyes.


    ¡°Song Zhilin, don¡¯t just talk big. Try to reach me if you can.¡±


    vas


    As for the financial backer he mentioned, Lu Jinqi only sneered. After the call was hung up, Song Zhilin was furious. He hatefully thought to himself, ¡®Tomorrow, I¡¯ll make sure Mingsong expels you. I want to see just how far you¡¯d like to go in this game.¡¯


    Song Yayin could tell from his expression that Lu Jinqi must have said something unpleasant.


    A hint of happiness flashed across her eyes. Unpleasant was good. The more unpleasant it was, the angrier her father would get.


    When that time came, Lu Jingi¡¯s fate would be sealed


    Song Zhilin arrived at Ming Song early in the morning. The first thing he said when he saw Zheng Qin was to get the school to expel Lu Jinqi.


    Zheng Qin was so scared that his hand trembled and he accidentally knocked over his cup. He did not even have the time to tidy up before he tried to think of a way to reply to him. He looked at Song Zhilin and said carefully, ¡°CEO Song, who did you say you wanted expelled from school?¡± ¡°Lu Jinqi,¡± Song Zhilin said in a booming voice. He had not heard wrongly.


    On one hand, there was CEO Song, who donated many buildings to the school, and on the other, was a director of the school.


    He dared not to offend either.


    Zheng Qin smiled bitterly in his heart. It was just the start of school, why were there so many things happening already?


    ¡°Can you give me a reason for such a request?¡± He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and asked. Song Zhilin looked at him impatiently. ¡°Why? Do you need time to think it over?¡±


    Zheng Qin¡¯s heart trembled at the thought of Lu Jinqi¡¯s expression. ¡®I don¡¯t want to hesitate on either side. The main point is he¡¯s just a donor to this school, and does not have a lot of say in these matters.¡¯


    The only way was to call Lu Jinqi over to resolve the situation.


    ¡°CEO Song, I feel that there might be a misunderstanding between the two of you. How about I call Lu Jinqi over so that you can have a face-to-face talk?¡±


    After saying that, he quickly took out his phone and made a call.


    On the other end, Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw the caller.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Well, come to the office,¡± Zheng Qin said quickly before hanging up.


    ¡°Jinqii, who was that?¡± Xiao Yao was confused.


    Lu Jinqi stood up and lazily put her hands in her pockets. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I¡¯m going out for a while.¡±


    Soon, she arrived at the principal¡¯s office and saw the man sitting inside.


    It made sense as to why Zheng Qin spoke in a hurry. That seated man had donated many buildings to the school, so he could not just make that man sit around. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡±


    Zheng Qin looked at her carefully. ¡°CEO Song has requested to expel you from this school.¡±


    When she heard this¡­ A cold flicker appeared in Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes, and an arrogant smile hung on the corner of her mouth.


    ¡°Who does he think he is?¡±


    ¡°Lu Jinqi,¡± Song Zhilin stood up angrily and pointed at her.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s gaze fell on his finger, he pointed at her as though he was pointing a knife to her neck. There was a smile on her face, but her words were extremely authoritative.


    ¡°If you point this finger at me again, don¡¯t blame me for crippling it.¡±


    Seeing that she did not look like she was joking, Song Zhilin abruptly retracted his hand.


    ¡°Principal, when did this school allow animals in?¡± Lu Jinqi leaned against the wall unhurriedly, her lips curled into a cold smile. Zheng Qin kept quiet. ¡®How the heck am supposed to respond to that?!¡¯ How would he dare admit that CEO Song was an animal! ¡°Lu Jinqi, how dare you insult me?¡± Song Zhilin understood what she meant, and his eyes were about to pop out. Lu Jinqi raised her brows slightly, her lips curled into a lazy smile as she said wantonly, ¡°Not only can I insult you, I can also beat you up. Do you want to experience it now, or later?¡±


    Song Zhilin was so angry that he felt like a bunch of curses were about to explode from the tip of his tongue.


    ¡°Song Zhilin, don¡¯t challenge me, or else¡­¡±


    The rest of his words were self-evident.


    Lu Jingi looked at him indifferently and shrugged dismissively.


    Song Zhilin threw the cup on the ground to vent his anger. :How dare you ignore me!¡±


    Zheng Qin looked at the broken pieces on the ground with heartache. ¡®My favorite cup¡­ I hope you had a good life.¡¯

 Chapter 21 - A R*tard in the Shooting Range

    Chapter 21 A R*tard in the Shooting Range


    ¡°CEO Song, are you¡­¡± Zheng Qin stepped forward and said carefully.


    ¡°Get lost.¡± Song Zhilin kicked the table and left angrily.


    When Lu Jinqi returned to the classroom, she saw three people chatting happily.


    Seeing her return, Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes and smiled. ¡°Are you busy tonight?¡±


    Lu Jinqi took out a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. She asked casually, ¡°Why?¡±


    Xiao Yao rubbed his hands together. ¡°We might go to Shengbai tonight.¡±


    As he spoke, he gave Wen Yu a look, signaling for him to continue. Wen Yu, who had received the indication, thought for a moment and said, ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a new shooting gallery there. It seems to be well made. Let¡¯s go and have some fun.¡±


    The three of them stared at Lu Jingi, the desire in their eyes could not be hidden.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Jinqi unlocked her phone and nodded casually.


    ¡°Yeah!¡± When the three of them heard the answer they wanted, they high-fived each other.


    When Lu Jinqi saw this, the corners of his lips curled up.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, is that shooting gallery really that fun?¡± On the way here, Xie Shuyao tugged at Xiao Yao¡¯s clothes and glanced at the person in front of her.


    Xiao Yao revealed a certain expression. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve asked around.¡±


    Seeing that he was so confident, Xie Shuyao finally felt at ease.


    It was Qiqi¡¯s first time hanging out with them, and she had to make sure that the other girl enjoyed herself. A few of them had just entered the building when they bumped into Si Jingyun and the other two.


    Seeing this group of four, Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows.


    ¡°Shuyao, where are you guys going?¡± Qi Ye looked at them and nodded at Xie Shuyao in acknowledgement.


    She did not expect to meet them here, causing Xie Shuyao to be stunned. She regained her senses and saw that everyone was looking at her expectantly. So, she quickly answered with a smile, ¡°We¡¯re going to the newly opened shooting gallery.¡±


    As soon as she said that, Qi Ye clapped his hands and hooked his arms around the shoulders of the people beside him. ¡°Perfect, let¡¯s go together.¡±


    Xie Shuyao looked at him in a hurried manner. ¡°Ah! I¡¯m afraid to say that this was only planned for the four of us¡­¡± Xiao Yao interrupted to refuse.


    Qi Ye shrugged after being rejected. He originally wanted to create an opportunity for Master Jing, but he had no choice even if other students rejected him.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Besides, you guys should be leaving now, right?¡± Xie Shuyao quickly agreed and swept her gaze past them one by one.


    Suddenly, Si Jingyun, who was in the background, looked at the girl behind him with a smile in his cold eyes.


    His thin lips parted slightly. ¡°What does Jinny think about this?¡±


    When he said this, everyone was shocked.


    ¡®How does this guy know who Jinqi is?¡¯.


    ¡®What?! Master Jing and Jinqi were so close that they called each other affectionately?!¡¯


    Compared to them, the only calm person was probably Xie Shuyao. After all, this was not the first time she had heard of it.


    ¡°Up to you.¡± Having a few more people did not make much of a difference to Lu Jingi.


    The group quickly arrived at the shooting gallery. When they saw the people there, they were sure that it was a popular attraction.


    ¡°Do you guys want to play?¡± A man could not help but walk over and ask. These customers were way too good-looking, especially the two people in the middle. They were like the epitome of good-looking. The man thought to himself, ¡®We¡¯re all human, so why do we look so different?¡¯


    ¡°Yes, how do we play this game?¡± Wen Yu answered excitedly.


    They could hold the gun. Although it was fake, it still felt very exciting.


    The man explained with a professional smile, ¡°We have real-life shooting competitions here. Fixed-point shooting, mobile shooting, and other activities. If you are interested, you can take a look.¡±


    The moment they heard that there was a real-life shooting competition, Xiao Yao and Wen Yu became restless.


    ¡°Jinqi, what do you think?¡± Wen Yu asked.


    Lu Jinqi stood there lazily. She glanced at the few of them and opened her palm. ¡°Here.¡±


    It was the first time the man had met a customer who did not ask about the price and just gave a large sum of money. He happily took the cash, but was stopped by someone.


    Xiao Yao pushed her hand away and swiftly placed money onto the man¡¯s palm. He refused to listen and said, ¡°Jinqi, I¡¯ll pay.¡±


    It did not matter to the man who paid, as long as they paid.


    Behind him, Xie Lingchuan looked at the person beside him and teased, ¡°Master Jing, you have a love rival.¡± When Si Jingyun heard this, he looked at Xiao Yao calmly. This kind of immaturity would not be Jinny¡¯s type.¡¯ ¡°I think you¡¯re blind, you should go and look for Yu Ze.¡±


    The smile on Xie Lingchuan¡¯s face froze. Master Jing was mocking him!


    After the payment was made, the man brought them to the second floor. ¡°This is a fixed-point shooting range. You can try the equipment here. If you want a real one, you can go directly to the third floor.¡±


    After explaining the rules of the game and the equipment, he left sensibly.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, do you want to compete with me?¡± Wen Yu walked up to Xiao Yao and touched his gun. He looked at Xiao Yao provocatively.


    As a boy, he had always been interested in shooting events. After listening, he picked up his gun without hesitation.


    ¡°Sure. 10 shots per person. Let¡¯s see who gets the best results.¡± The two of them did not want to admit defeat and snorted. They posed and fired.


    Seeing this, Xie Shuyao¡¯s lips twitched. They had agreed to play together, but the two of them started right away. She turned her head, her almond-shaped eyes bright as she looked at Lu Jinqi. ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try too.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    At that moment, three boys with their hands in their pockets walked over to the two girls.


    The middle one raised his chin and one of his legs shook. He pushed his hair back, thinking that his looks could attract the girls¡¯ attention. ¡°Hey there beauties, do you want to play together?¡±


    Xie Shuyao squinted her eyes in disgust and pulled Lu Jinqi back a step.


    ¡°Oh, you dare ignore me?¡± The boy was angered by her actions, and as he spoke, he prepared to attack. However, he died before he could succeed, and he was ruthlessly grabbed by his wrist and kicked away.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s pitch-black eyes were filled with coldness. He stared at him as if he was a dead


    man.


    ¡°Jinny, don¡¯t touch such dirty things with your hands next time.¡± Si Jingyun picked up the napkin on the table, pulled Lu Jinqi¡¯s hand over it, and carefully wiped it. Qi Ye and Lu Jinqi ridiculed him like crazy. They did not expect him to be like this.


    ¡®I suspected that you just wanted to hold her hand, and I have now evidence to prove it now.¡¯


    Seeing his friend being kicked down, the other two hurriedly ran over to help him up.


    ¡°You dare hit me?¡± The boy rubbed the spot where he had been kicked, looking at her with a gloomy expression.


    ¡°What? Do you think you¡¯re better than me? You can¡¯t beat me.¡±


    Xiao Yao saw the commotion and came over with a gun.


    ¡°You guys¡­ Let¡¯s have a competition. If we win, she¡¯ll be mine.¡± The boy wanted to retort, but when he saw the gun in Xiao Yao¡¯s hand, his eyes rolled and he changed the topic.


    ¡°Are you sick? Why should we compete with someone dirty like you?¡± Xie Shuyao glanced at him with an ugly expression. She had wanted to have a good time today, but why were there all these rat droppings everywhere?


    ¡°What, scared of losing?¡± the redhead boy started to goad them.


    Wen Yu was about to speak when she saw Lu Jinqi¡¯s dangerous expression.


    ¡°Go on then¡±, she raised her eyelids and said coldly, ¡°what do you have in mind?¡±

 Chapter 22 - Jinqi is Effortlessly Handsome

    Chapter 22 Jinqi is Effortlessly Handsome


    The three boys exchanged glances and smiled smugly when they took the bait. ¡°It¡¯s simple. Each of you will get 20 bullets. Add them up and whoever shoots more targets wins.¡±


    Even though they were not that good at playing, they knew that their skills were surely better than a girl¡¯s.


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi looked at them thoughtfully, the corners of her lips curved upwards from the plan.


    Seeing her like this, Wen Yu could not help but whisper to Xiao Yao, ¡°Why do I feel like she¡¯s just asking for trouble?¡±


    Xiao Yao nodded in agreement. ¡°I think so too.¡±


    Sure enough, they heard the girl continue on speaking.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think this is going to be exciting enough. Why don¡¯t we change the game?¡±


    The redhead boy touched his lips. ¡°What else? Tell me.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly. ¡°Send one person from each side with targets on them. Whoever gets the most shots wins. What do you think?¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, the boy fell silent.


    ¡°Master Jing, she might not be very good at this game. Shouldn¡¯t you be worried?¡± Qi Ye could not help but whisper when he heard Lu Jinqi¡¯s idea.


    A hint of a mischief flashed across Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes. He said casually, ¡°Jinny knows what she¡¯s doing. Let¡¯s just let her be and see how this plays out.¡± Let her be?!


    Qi Ye shut his mouth silently.


    ¡°What? Afraid of losing?¡± Lu Jinqi stood there casually with her hands in her pockets.


    Xie Shuyao glanced at the boy with the redhead before looking at Lu Jinqi.


    As expected, she could not be compared to that dirty rat dropping. Even though the both of them had their hands in their pockets, Jinqi looked effortlessly handsome while the boy looked perverted and pretentious.


    She does not know where he got his courage from.


    The boy was provoked by her words and instantly straightened his chest. ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? I¡¯ll be the target. What about you guys?¡±


    Lu jinqi pointed with her slender finger and chuckled. ¡°Him.¡±


    Qi Ye was stunned by the sudden attention directed toward him. ¡®What does it have to do with me? Am I the only one here to suffer?¡¯


    This young lady is too vengeful. She and Lingchuan only laughed when his eyes widened. Why did she choose him?


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to,¡± Qi Ye rejected the idea without contemplating whatsoever. Who knew if that boy had good or bad marksmanship? If he was good, Qi Ye would get hit. Then, he would definitely cry from the


    pain.


    ¡°Your rejection is invalid. I¡¯ll leave the responsibility to you for being the target, good luck.¡± Xie Lingchuan rejected his rejection and pushed him forward.


    Qi Ye staggered forward from the push and turned around to glare at Xie Ling Chuan.


    He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You really cherish our friendship this much huh?¡± ¡°Thank you, of course I do,¡± Xie Ling Chuan smiled without any sense of guilt. Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s settled then. Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    Qi Ye looked at him in disbelief. His expression looked like one of betrayal as he spoke, ¡°Master Jing, how could you do this to me?¡± He had never felt this betrayed in his life.


    Soon, they found a shop assistant to set up the targets. There were a total of twenty targets around the redhead boy¡¯s body.


    The redhead boy walked over valiantly. If one looked closely, one could notice his legs trembling. As he tried to settle himself down, he heard the girl¡¯s lazy words.


    ¡°How about this gun? I¡¯ve never played with it before.¡±


    All of a sudden, everyone except Si Jingyun looked at her in disbelief.


    ¡®You dare make such a request when you¡¯ve never played with it before?¡¯


    ¡°This gun is alright,¡± Si Jingyun said as he looked at the thing in her hand.


    Lu Jinqi grunted and aimed at the target with an irregular posture.


    When the redhead boy heard that she did not know how to play, he started to tremble and wanted to run away.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move. If I miss, it won¡¯t be good for the both of us.¡±


    Lu Jinqi gave off a lazy aura. Before anyone could react, the gun was already fired.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The bullet landed on the edge of the target, almost reaching between the redhead boy¡¯s legs.


    ¡°Sorry about that.¡±


    The boy lowered his head to look at the bullet¡¯s position. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he prayed to whoever was willing to listen for this to be over. That was close.


    Even though the bullet was fake, it will still hurt when it hits his body. If it really did hit him where the sun does not shine, he would probably crippled forever.


    ¡°Jinqi, are you sure this is okay?¡± Wen Yu could not help but worry.


    Xie Shuyao, on the other hand, patted his shoulder calmly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Besides, Master Jing is here.¡± She knew that Master Jing would definitely not let Qiqi lose.


    Then, everyone watched Lu Jinqi click her next shot. Every shot was just a little bit away from the target¡¯s body.


    At first, they thought that her skills were mediocre, but now, they realized that she was toying with the redhead boy again.


    ¡°D* mn, Jinqi¡¯s skills are insane!¡± Xiao Yao could not help but take out his phone and start recording the video, exclaiming repeatedly. Wen Yu saw his actions and his eyes lit up. ¡°Xiao Yao, send me a copy of the video later.¡±


    After twenty shots, the redhead boy¡¯s face turned pale. He was drenched in sweat as he knelt on the ground, gasping for air.


    That was too scary. He did not want to play this game anymore.


    The redhead boy¡¯s two good friends quickly ran over and helped him up.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyes and looked at them. She enunciated each word. ¡°How was it? Do you still want to play?¡±


    When the three of them heard that, their faces instantly turned pale. They stammered, ¡°N-no, I d-don¡¯t want to p-p-play anymore.¡±


    After saying that, they ran away, though¡­ there was a stream of water that followed closely behind.


    Xie Shuyao excitedly hugged Lu Jinqi and smiled. ¡°Qiqi, you¡¯re amazing.¡±


    When Si Jingyun saw that, he narrowed his eyes and said in an indifferent tone.


    ¡°Let go.¡±


    Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shuyao quickly retracted her hand and obediently stood to the side.


    ¡®I only hugged hey. Why does Master Jing have to be like that?¡¯


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Lu Jinqi pulled out a tissue and wiped her hands.


    When they left the shooting gallery, Xiao Yao and Wen Yu¡¯s excitement had yet to subside.


    It turned out that Jinqi¡¯s shooting skills were superb!


    Qi Ye looked as though he had seen a ghost as he kept glancing at Lu Jinqi.


    In the end, he could not help but ask, ¡°Lu Jinqi, didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve never played before?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s was playing with her phone. Hearing his words, she lazily said, ¡°Maybe I¡¯m a natural genius.¡±


    Qi Ye¡¯s mouth twitched. So there really was someone who was even more narcissistic than him.


    Xie Shuyao slapped him. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you guys leaving yet?¡± She dared not to ask Master Jing and her brother about this. Out of the three of them, Qi Ye was the easiest target. ¡°No way, you¡¯re actually starting to chase me away?¡± Qi Ye covered his chest with his hands.


    Master Jing looked at him coldly. ¡°Plans on joining the entertainment industry, is it?¡±


    Seeing him like this, Qi Ye dared not to mess around anymore. In a second, he turned serious.


    Lu Jinqi turned her head to look at the man beside her. His exquisite brows raised from the attention, and his lips curved into a half-smile.


    ¡°Brother, let¡¯s have dinner together.¡±


    These words made Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze deepen. His tone was low and seductive.


    ¡°Jinny invited me, should we still leave?¡±


    Lu Jinqi paused for two seconds before smiling lazily.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, then forget it.¡±


    Xiao Yao, who was behind her, pulled Xie Shuyao in front of him.


    He lowered his head and muttered, ¡°Why do I feel like the atmosphere between Jinqii and that man is a little off?¡±


    Xie Shuyao was engrossed in watching, but when he suddenly asked her that question, she still could not wrap her head around it.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡±


    ¡°I just feel like the surrounding air is bubbling with pink bubbles,¡± Wen Yu interjected.


    Xiao Yao nodded repeatedly. ¡°That¡¯s right, but didn¡¯t Jinqi just call him brother?¡±


    His voice might have been a little too loud, as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that everyone was staring at him.


    Hearing that¡­


    Lu Jinqi raised the ends of her eyebrows and her bright red lips lifted slightly. The words that came out of her mouth were light and playful.


    ¡°Brother Qing is also a brother to me.¡±

 Chapter 23 - Si Jingyuns Boundless Charm

    Chapter 23 Si Jingyun¡¯s Boundless Charm


    When Lu Jinqi said this, their expressions faltered. Why was everyone unconsciously clenching their teeth?


    On the contrary, Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes blinked several times for a moment, then his gaze seemed to be filled with joy. He fixed his gaze on Lu Jinqi and said in a low voice, ¡°Jinny, don¡¯t tease me like that.¡±


    Qi Ye simply could not bear to watch this scene any longer and turned around. ¡®Master Jing, can you wipe that expression off your face?¡¯


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and her tone was casual as she emphasized the last word. ¡°Is this considered flirting to you? It wasn¡¯t like that before though, brother.¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun could not help but laugh. This child was quite vengeful.


    On one side, Xiao Yao, who was starving, rolled his eyes when he saw the two of them interact with each other.


    ¡°Anyways, Jinqi, where are we going to eat?¡±


    ¡°What do you guys feel like eating?¡± Lu Jinqi looked around and asked.


    Hearing this, Xiao Yao patted Wen Yu and Xie Shuyao, and the three of them huddled together and muttered. After a long while, Xiao Yao crossed his hands behind his back and cleared his throat. ¡°The three of us have just decided¡­ We want to eat barbecue.¡±


    ¡°Barbecue?¡± Lu Jinqi frowned and imagined the scene of the person sitting next to her at the barbecue place.


    ¡°Yes, we want barbecue.¡± Xie Shuyao and Wen Yu nodded vigorously. ¡°The restaurant we ate at last time was really good.¡±


    Actually, the taste was one thing, but the other was that they hoped these three men would not enjoy eating that kind of food. At the thought of this, the two boys chuckled. However, they did not expect one of them to quickly agree to this suggestion.


    ¡°Really? I love barbecue? Where are we going? Which restaurant is it? Hurry up, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go!¡± Qi Ye walked over cheerfully and urged them.


    Xiao Yao and the other two were dumbfounded. Why was this different from what they had imagined?


    Xie Shuyao looked at him suspiciously. ¡°If I recall, you didn¡¯t like barbecue, right?¡±


    ¡°There are a lot of things that you don¡¯t know about him,¡± Xie Lingchuan interrupted leisurely.


    How could they not see through what these kids were planning? They were really childish.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, address,¡± Lu Jinqi said succinctly.


    Ten minutes later, a small group arrived at the small barbecue shop and found a table.


    The long legs of Si Jingyun and the other two men made Xie Shuyao laugh maniacally. ¡°Hey, you guys should cut your legs off, that way, you¡¯ll probably have more space to sit comfortably.¡±


    Xie Lingchuan raised his hand and aggressively patted her head. ¡°Shut up.¡±


    Feeling her brother¡¯s warning, Xie Shuyao obediently shut up and sat at the side, rubbing her head.


    The boss held the menu in his hand and looked at the odd bunch, not knowing what to do. He carefully said, ¡°What would you like to eat?¡±


    Xiao Yao did not even look at the menu and quickly said, ¡°Hundred skewers, fifty prawns, twenty servings of small yellow croakers, a bowl of rice to eat, and two beer towers.¡± ¡°Okay, the food will be served shortly.¡± The boss was smiling so much that he could not close his mouth. He did not look nervous at all.


    The other girl customers at the next table were looking at them excitedly.


    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen a handsome man in a suit eating in a small barbecue shop.¡±


    ¡°Right, I don¡¯t think this shop suits their temperament at all.¡±


    ¡°You only see handsome men? Didn¡¯t you notice that beautiful lady as well?¡±


    ¡°Yes, we¡¯re both girls. I¡¯m not blind, I see her too.¡±


    The few of them discussed in hushed tones. Only one girl was particularly quiet. The customers on the same table looked at her strangely. They saw that her face was flushed with a tinge of pink and her eyes were shining as she stared at a certain spot.


    If they looked in the same direction, they would see she was admiring the most handsome man they have ever seen.


    ¡°Xiaoyu, stop staring. Hurry up and eat your food.¡± Her friend tugged at her sleeve, indicating for her to come back to her senses.


    That man was obviously not to be trifled with.


    The girl named Xiaoyu ignored her friend beside her and stared at Si Jingyun in a loving daze.


    ¡®This man¡¯s entire fit looks expensive. If I became his girlfriend, I would be able to leave my current life and live like a queen.¡¯


    The thoughts in her heart grew wantonly. She could not help but stand up and slowly walk over.


    ¡°Xiaoyu,¡± the girl beside her pulled her away and could not help but shout.


    However, her mind was filled with Si Jingyun, how could she listen to her friend calling her back.


    So, under everyone¡¯s gaze, she stood beside Si Jingyun.


    She bent down slightly and tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing a smile that she thought was very beautiful. ¡°Hi, can I have your number?¡±


    Si Jingyun acted as though he did not hear her, reaching out to remove the wine glass in front of Lu Jinqi and replacing it with plain water.


    ¡°Jinny, drinking alcohol will affect your growth.¡±


    Lu Jinqi turned her head and saw his smiling eyes. She could not help but twitch her lips. There was really no way to refute this reason.


    Seeing Lu Jinqi being defeated, Xie Shuyao and the others snickered to themselves.


    Xiaoyu saw that the man was ignoring her, and her expression instantly turned ugly. She persevered and asked, ¡°Can I?¡±


    ¡°Hey you¡­¡± Xie Shuyao said. She looked at her from head to toe. ¡°Don¡¯t you have the least bit of self-restraint?¡± Before the other girlcould say anything, she continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t your parents teach you to not simply give your number to strangers? If you start doing that, your parents might regret ever having you.¡± Then, the entire shop turned silent as everyone looked at them quietly.


    Xiaoyu¡¯s face turned pale. Her body trembled as she looked at the man with tears in her eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t do that. Is it wrong to admire someone else¡¯s good looks?¡±


    Things were beginning to get out of hand. Xie Shuyao put down the things in her hands and stood up.


    ¡°Are you sure you admire his good looks instead of how rich he looks? I¡¯ve seen many girls like you. You don¡¯t want to work hard and just want to hook up with a rich man. Where¡¯s your sense of shame?


    ¡°You¡¯re a student, right? Then you should know how to spell and define shame.¡±


    Xiaoyu was rendered speechless by Xie Shuyao¡¯s jabs. She could now guess that the others on the table must be looking at her with ridicule and disdain.


    ¡°Who are you? What right do you have to reject him on his behalf?¡± Xiaoyu questioned, clearly having gone too far to go back.


    Xie Shuyao¡¯s eyes were cold, and there was no expression on her face. ¡°I¡¯m his sister. How can someone like you treat my brother like that? What wicked plans do you have here?!¡±


    ¡®I¡¯m not letting anyone else ruin my well crafted ship.


    ¡®I¡¯ll prevent anyone from affecting Qiqi¡¯s relationship with Master Jing.¡¯ ¡°Xiaoyao, sit down,¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s unhurried voice rang out. Xie Shuyao sat down obediently and smiled at Lu Jinqi.


    She did not look like she had just insulted someone.


    The girl did not expect this to happen, so she could only place her hopes on Si Jingyun. She choked on her words as she looked at him with puppy eyes. ¡°Do you think so too?¡±


    Si Jingyun narrowed his eyes and only said one word. ¡°Scram.¡±


    The girl¡¯s face was filled with disbelief, and in the end, she ran away with tears in her eyes.


    When the girls who were with her saw this, they gave Lu Jinqi and the others an embarrassed smile and chased after her. Even though they agreed with what Xie Shuyao said, they would not dare tell their crying friend. Xiaoyu was too embarrassed to listen after that happened.


    After they left, the shop returned to its usual lively state, as though nothing had happened.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s slender hands supported her face as a smile appeared on her lips. ¡°Your charm is boundless!¡±

 Chapter 24 - M Countrys Research Institute

    Chapter 24 M Country¡¯s Research Institute


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he lowered his head slightly. His voice was sultry paired with a smile.


    ¡°Jinny, don¡¯t wrongly accuse me.¡±


    Lu Jinqi calmly tilted her head to avoid his gaze.


    Si Jingyun did not care about this either. He picked up a meat skewer and handed it over.


    One of them ate while the other handed it over. The atmosphere was harmonious. The few of them who witnessed the entire process suddenly felt that the meat in their hands was not fragrant at all.


    ¡°I¡¯m suddenly full,¡± Wen Yu put down the food and said quietly.


    Xiao Yao took a bite of the meat and echoed, ¡°Me too. Jinqi, can you consider the feelings of us single people?¡± When Lu Jinqi heard this, her beautiful brows raised slightly. She looked at him with interest. ¡°Why? Do you want a younger sister as well?¡±


    ¡°Uh-¡°


    Hearing this, Xiao Yao suddenly choked. His hands kept patting his chest, and his face started to turn red. He did not know if he was embarrassed or angry by that statement.


    Lu Jinqi sat there calmly, a faint smile on his face. ¡°You seem excited. I¡¯ll arrange it for you later.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    Everyone burst into laughter. Even Si Jingyun¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Xiao Yao¡¯s entire body trembled as he shook his head repeatedly. The thought of a girl calling him brother made his hair stand on end.


    Suddenly, Lu Jinqi¡¯s phone rang. She looked down and hung up. ¡°Lu Jinqi, why aren¡¯t you picking up?¡± Xie Lingchuan asked casually.


    ¡°It¡¯s a salesman, there¡¯s no need to pick it up.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s expression was calm.


    The barbecue night ended perfectly amidst the noisy group.


    During that time, Lu Jinqi¡¯s phone rang twice, but she immediately denied the call.


    No one suspected that the number was not a salesman. Only Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze looked like he was deep, deep in thought.


    ¡°Jinqi, are you going back to the hotel?¡±


    Xie Shuyao looked at the time and asked.


    ¡°You guys go back first, I have something to do.¡± Before they could react, Lu Jinqi put on her mask and quickly left.


    Si Jingyun watched her leave and frowned before getting into the car.


    Lu Jinqi put on her voice changer and quickly returned the pestering call.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    The guy on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes and snapped, ¡°J, you hung up on me three times, what are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Something came up just now, it wasn¡¯t the best time to pick up your call.¡± Lu Jingi rubbed the space between her brows. ¡°Why did you call me so many times, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Netherworldheard J¡¯s tired voice and went straight to the point. ¡°There¡¯s a contract. The reward is one billion.¡±


    After hearing that, Lu Jinqi stopped in her tracks. One billion? Which id*ot had so much money to waste? ¡°Such a high reward, and no one accepted it?¡± On the other side, Netherworld smiled bitterly. ¡°This contract is a little too special, so everyone rejected it.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows. Everyone who rejected the contract made the contract itself more enticing.


    Her red lips parted slightly. ¡°What¡¯s the content like?¡±


    ¡°Hacking into Z Nation¡¯s research institute to steal the latest research materials.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi clenched her fists tightly. ¡°Who placed the order?¡±


    His eyes were bloodshot as the corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile. Netherworld shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. This is an anonymous list.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± Lu Jinqi hung up and went to the internet cafe.


    She randomly found a computer in the corner and went to M.K.¡¯s website and saw the list of requests on the main page.


    A vicious look flashed past her eyes. Her fingers moved quickly and all kinds of code started to run. In her previous life, although she had been used as an experiment, it was undeniable that she still had a patriotic heart.


    According to the list, she locked onto the address of the person who placed the order. The moment she saw that it was from M Nation¡¯s research institute, Lu Jinqi¡¯s entire body was filled with ruthlessness. Suddenly, a strange smile blossomed on her lips.


    Her fingers slowly tapped on the keyboard as she completed the contract.


    She successfully broke through the M Nation research institute¡¯s firewall and slowly browsed through their research data. Her exquisite eyes were filled with deadly intent.


    With such research, it was no wonder that the person wanted her country¡¯s data.


    Lu Jinqi smiled sarcastically. She calmly deleted the data and hacked into the M Nation¡¯s largest database, arrogantly leaving behind two pictures and a paragraph.


    M Nation¡¯s research institute was in a state of panic. Half an hour ago, someone had broken through their firewall.


    They quickly sent people to find expert hackers, but they could not do anything. They could only watch as their research data got completely deleted.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± The person in charge of the research institute stared at the screen ferociously and roared.


    For a moment, no one dared to speak. They lowered their heads in silence. Suddenly, his phone rang. As soon as it was picked up, the other party started cursing loudly. ¡°What¡¯s going on with the experimental data? This matter is being broadcasted on all the other big screens.¡± The other party paused for a moment, and his tone carried a threat, ¡°No matter what, you have to give me a reasonable answer to this matter. Otherwise, you can leave and never come back.¡±


    The members of the research institute saw that their person in charge had received a phone call and his expression turned from bad to worse.


    They saw him kick over the chair and wave his hand to push away all the things on the table, venting his anger.


    One of the members carefully went forward. ¡°Director, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    When he heard the question, the man¡¯s eyes stared at him sharply. After a long while, he averted his gaze.


    ¡°Go and see what¡¯s going on outside. Hurry up and take it down.¡±


    The man turned his head and said to the hacker.


    Outside?


    The hacker was stunned for a moment and quickly started to operate the computer. As time passed, more and more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.


    How could this be? Why could he not delete it?


    In the end, he could only give up and dejectedly report his failings, ¡°That person¡¯s hacking skills are too good. I can¡¯t delete it.¡±


    Hearing that, the man took something closeby and threw it over. He kept cursing, ¡°Trash, you¡¯re all a bunch of trash.¡±


    It was almost midnight in China. Hacker J¡¯s topic suddenly appeared on Weibo¡¯s trending search.


    As it was very late, not many people paid attention to it. However, this topic even trended the next morning and quickly exploded in popularity.


    Xiao Yao got into class late as usual and entered the classroom. He saw a group of people discussing intensely and patted the shoulder of the boy at the door. He raised his head and asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± His shoulder was suddenly patted by someone. The boy thought that it was the teacher and was so scared that he turned around. When he saw who it was, he relaxed.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, can you not do this next time?¡± Xiao Yao angrily patted him again. ¡°I¡¯m asking you, what¡¯s up?¡±


    The boy was so excited that his face was flushed red. He took out his phone and pointed at Weibo¡¯s trending search. ¡°This hacker J is really too amazing. They deleted all the research materials of M Nation all by themself.¡±


    Hearing this, Xiao Yao¡¯s interest was piqued. People still do that nowadays?


    He could not wait to take out his phone and tap into Weibo. He browsed through it slowly, and after seeing what had happened, he could not help but exclaim in admiration.


    ¡°Holy sh*t, this godly b*stard. This move must¡¯ve slapped M Nation hard in the face!¡±


    It turned out that there was a girl from M country studying abroad in Z country. When she was shopping in the mall, she realized that all the commercial advertisements on the big screen had changed.


    When she took a closer look, she was shocked by the content. As an M citizen, she knew how difficult it was for her country¡¯s research to be leaked.


    If it was not for hacker J, no one else could have succeeded. At that moment, anger and excitement intertwined in her heart. Without hesitation, she took a video and posted it on Weibo.

 Chapter 25 - Major Absenteeism

    Chapter 25 Major Absenteeism


    (Life of an Overseas Student: Today, I was shopping on the streets of M country when I suddenly realized that the big advertising screen here had changed. When I saw the content on it, I wanted to give this J person a huge shoutout.]


    There was a video attached below. The content inside was clearly visible.


    A M.K. logo placed with a single picture. It was the information of M Nation¡¯s research institute that had been deleted. The most exciting part was the following paragraph.


    ¡°This is just a warning. You can try again and see what will happen next time.¡±


    At the end, an arrogant and sloppy signed J appeared.


    At this time, the comment section of this Weibo post had overflowed.


    [Hacker J is amazing! From today onward, the only person I worship is hacker J.)


    (Why do I feel like J god¡¯s words sound like a real threat? I feel like if they do it again, J god would really delete all their information.]


    [Hahaha, you¡¯re right dude. J god would definitely destroy them.]


    [F*ck, M Nation is too shameless. They actually want to steal our country¡¯s information. Disgusting.)


    When this comment was posted, a bunch of people agreed with it.


    Just as everyone was excited to leave a comment, a few other comments popped up. Their words were infuriating


    [All of you are so surfaced, it¡¯s not very good for this J person to delete other people¡¯s information. After all, they must¡¯ve worked hard to research all of that.)


    (That¡¯s right. Besides, since no one has accepted the job, why does I need to hack into other people¡¯s research institutes?]


    (Our research institute hasn¡¯t suffered any losses. Is there a need to go that far? It¡¯s simply ruining the good impression of M.K. man!]


    Seeing these confused remarks, everyone could not help being convinced. Why was there such a person in the country? (F*ck you and your snowflake attitude. If you¡¯re so distressed, then you might as well scram to research institute M and help them out.]


    [Our research institute actually raised these traitors. How sad.]


    (These keyboard warriors should just die. What do you mean the research institute M lost out on a lot? Have you thought about the consequences of someone else that did it except J god?]


    This matter blew up on the internet. A group of people were cursing left and right, defending or going against J.


    It quickly attracted the attention of the higher-ups of Z country. When they saw the whole story, they could not help but feel a chill down their backs.


    The citizens were right about one thing. Once the research data gets leaked, it would lead to a great loss. Thinking of this, one of them personally gave the research institute a call. No matter what, their own data must not be leaked.


    On the other side, the head of the physics research institute, Zhang Ziqing, received a call and his face turned solemn. He rushed to the research room and picked it up.


    ¡°Quickly print out all the information and delete the computer manuscript.¡± The people in the research lab were all confused and could not help but ask, ¡°Director, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhang Ziqing received the update of what happened. After hearing it, everyone started to take action. Everyone scrambled to delete as much data as they could, while retaining it in the form of physical copies. Suddenly, the computer screen in the lab darkened and a paragraph appeared on it.


    ¡°The research institute¡¯s firewall and data have all been reinforced. Please rest assured, Researcher J.¡±


    Everyone stared at the computer in a daze. They all had the same thought, ¡®I¡¯m so glad that she¡¯s from our country.


    ¡°So does that mean that we still need to do all of this?¡± A young man broke the silence.


    Zhang Ziqing thought for a moment and decided to do as he was ordered to. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s continue. Regarding the firewall, I¡¯ll ask the higher-ups to find someone to test it out first.¡±


    After saying that, he quickly went out to make a phone call and told them everything that had just happened.


    The other party was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll get someone to go over.¡±


    In the classroom, the chemistry teacher saw the only empty seat in the classroom and he snorted.


    The class began.


    Wen Yu turned his head and kept glancing at the podium from the corner of his eyes. He said in a low voice, ¡°Xiao Yao, Jinqi skipped class again.¡±


    Xiao Yao turned his head and said casually, ¡°It¡¯s her first time, what¡¯s the big deal?¡±


    Wen Yu remained silent.


    Of course, he knew that it was not the first time, but the old chemistry teacher¡¯s eyes were about to spit fire. He was worried.


    After class, the chemistry teacher returned to the office with a sour expression.


    Seeing that Cheng Xin was there, he could not help but complain.


    ¡°Teacher Cheng, does Lu Jinqi from your class have a problem with me?¡±


    Cheng Xin looked at him in surprise, her tone full of doubt. ¡°How can that be? Did something happen?¡±


    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t she come to my class the moment it started? The empty seats in the classroom are always hers.¡±


    When the chemistry teacher spoke with spite, she was a little resentful. This little girl was so delicate, how dare they speak of her so badly!


    Cheng Xin heard it and slowly frowned.


    ¡°I¡¯ll call her and ask. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m sure it wasn¡¯t to spite you.¡±


    Cheng Xin comforted her coworker and left to make a call.


    On the other side, Lu Jinqi had just tidied up and was about to go to bed when her phone started ringing. She picked up and said faintly, ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, why didn¡¯t you come to class today?¡±Cheng Xin¡¯s voice was always gentle and full of care. Even though she felt helpless and angry, she did not want Jinqi to feel bad. So she remained calm when she spoke.


    Lu Jinqi lay on the bed, one hand in front of her eyes, sleepy and exhausted.


    ¡°I had something to do, I¡¯ll come in the afternoon,¡± she said in a casual manner.


    The corners of Cheng Xin¡¯s mouth twitched.¡¯Was this what a student should say? If you had something to do, you should have just asked for leave.¡¯


    ¡°After you come to school in the afternoon, come to my office.¡±


    Lu Jinqi agreed in a low voice.


    In the afternoon, Lu Jinqi lazily appeared at the office door in her school uniform.


    Her fair fingers knocked on the door and she said very politely, ¡°Teacher Cheng.¡±


    Cheng Xin was grading her homework when she heard the voice. When she raised her head, she saw the girl standing there obediently with a relaxed look on her face.


    Instantly, a smile appeared in her eyes. It was the first time she had seen her this well-behaved.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Lu Jinqi sat quietly by the side. Looking at the person who had lowered her head to work ever since she came in, the corners of her lips curved upwards. ¡°Teacher Cheng, you called me here to watch you grade our homework?¡±


    Hearing this, Cheng Xin put down her pen, turned her head and stared at her sternly. She spoke in a serious tone. ¡°You¡¯re now in your third year of high school. It¡¯s the most important period of your life. The chemistry teacher told me that you didn¡¯t come to his class today. What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows. This was really unexpected. ¡°Nothing, it was just a coincidence.¡± Cheng Xin looked at the girl in front of her and could not help but sigh. ¡°Jinqi, you already took a year off from school, your foundation won¡¯t be as strong as the others if you keep this up. You should work harder, do you understand!¡±


    When Lu Jinqi heard this, the ends of her eyes twitched. Cheng Xin was still young, yet she spoke as if she knew about the universe.


    Seeing how concerned she was, Lu Jinqi thought for a while. There would be no harm in listening to her teacher¡¯s request once in a while.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll work harder.¡± Lu Jinqi nodded.


    Seeing her like this, Cheng Xin smiled in satisfaction and patted her shoulder. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go back to the classroom.¡±


    When Lu Jinqi returned to the classroom, she took out her textbook, scaring Xiao Yao and the others.


    ¡°D*mn Jinqi, what¡¯re you doing?¡± Lu Jinqi spun her pen and said lazily, ¡°Studying hard.¡± What was that? Xiao Yao felt that there was something wrong with his ears, so he scratched it. Otherwise, why would he hear a person who either slept or played games in class everyday said that she was studying hard?!

 Chapter 26 - Study Hard

    Chapter 26 Study Hard


    ¡°Sister Qi, blink twice if you¡¯re being threatened.¡± Wen Yu looked like he had seen a ghost when he heard the commotion.


    ¡°Fatty, what you said is wrong. Who in their right mind would want to threaten Jingi?¡±


    Xiao Yao recalled what had happened in the past few days. With her bad temper, no one would dare threaten her.


    Wen Yu nodded in understanding. That was right, something must have happened to Jinqi.


    Lu Jinqi ignored them and sat in her seat, bored.


    Cheng Xin saw her like this the moment she walked in, and the smile on her face softened.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start the class.¡±


    During this class, Cheng Xin¡¯s gaze would occasionally fall on Lu Jinqi.


    She was very satisfied when she saw that she was really paying attention. How could the people sitting at the side not feel the gaze from the podium? They suddenly understood what was going on.


    The mystery had been solved. Cheng Xin was the person who changed Jinqi.


    Thinking of this, he furrowed his brows. ¡®Should I follow her and study hard as well?¡¯.


    ¡°Jinqi, did Cheng look for you?¡± Once the class ended, Xiao Yao voiced out his concerns. The two people in the front row also turned around, they looked like they were ready for some gossip. Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were unreadable. She stared at him quietly, her red lips slightly tilted.


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    Xiao Yao subconsciously stepped back, then slammed the table. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±


    Wen Yu and Xie Shuyao thought that he would say something, but in the end, it ended, just like that. Why did he make such a big commotion then?


    The two of them rolled their eyes at him at the same time.


    Seeing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s exquisite face relaxed. The corners of her mouth curled into a teasing smile.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, you dare be the school bully?¡± Xiao Yao heard her teasing, so he scratched his head. Then, he shamelessly said, ¡°With you around, how could the school bully be me?¡±


    That was right. Ever since Lu Jinqi became famous, the school bully of Minsong had changed to someone else.


    The people from the other schools heard that Minsong had a new school bully who was extremely good-looking. Every day, they would secretly think of ways to sneak in and see him in person.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡±


    ¡°Really what?¡± Xiao Yao was confused. He looked at her with a burning gaze, waiting for her to continue.


    In the end, Lu Jinqi had no intention of finishing her sentence. She half-closed her eyes and her hands knocked on the table repeatedly.


    ¡®No, why did she have to be like this? Wasn¡¯t she trying to bait me?!¡¯


    Xiao Yao stared at her with resentment.


    Xie Shuyao burst into laughter when she saw the scene unfold.


    ¡°Xiao Yao, you look like an obedient little wife.¡±


    ¡°Xie Shuyao,¡± Xiao Yao¡¯s face darkened when he was insulted.


    ¡°Master Jing, do you know what happened on Weibo?¡± Qi Ye and Xie Lingchuan rushed over as soon as they finished their work.


    Si Jingyun sat lazily on the sofa. He nodded when he heard this.


    ¡°Mr Xu called me.¡±


    Qi Ye nodded. It made sense. Master Jing must have known about this the moment it surfaced.


    non


    ¡°What did Mr Xu say?¡± Xie Lingchuan took a sip of tea and asked.


    Si Jingyun raised his eyelids and said in a calm tone, ¡°He mentioned that the research institute said hacker J strengthened their firewall today. He asked me to find someone to test it out for him.¡±


    Qi Ye and Si Jingyun looked at each other. Who exactly was this J person?


    ¡°Qi Ye, last time Master Jing asked you to find this J person. How¡¯s progress?¡± Qi Ye looked at the person standing to the side and asked.


    When this was mentioned, Qii Ye felt a little ashamed. It had been so long, but he had gained little to no information at all.


    He glanced at Si Jingyun¡¯s expression and said awkwardly, ¡°I couldn¡¯t find him. No one took the order when I placed it in the M.K. website.¡±


    Qi Ye frowned. ¡°They didn¡¯t pick it up even though it was worth a lot of money?¡± Qi Ye nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. The most challenging thing is that I can¡¯t jail break into J¡¯s computerbecause J¡¯s IP address is all virtual.¡±


    It seemed like this J person was really a big shot. Xie Lingchuan put down his cup. Thinking about what had happened today, his tone filled with worry.


    ¡°Master Jing, do you think this J person is kind?¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes were dismissive, and his tone was indifferent. ¡°Currently, it seems that J doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions. A person who puts their nation¡¯s research institute at the forefront can¡¯t be that bad.¡±


    ¡°Master Jing is right. Even though J¡¯s hacking skills are very strong, from this incident, we can see that J is a patriotic person,¡± Qi Ye echoed.


    Hearing Si Jingyun¡¯s words, Xie Lingchuan¡¯s expression relaxed. Master Jing was right. A person who places their nations research institute at the top could not that bad.


    On the school¡¯s side, Lu Jinqi logged into the M.K. website, she saw a group of people bustling about, and the content of their chat was rapidly refreshing.


    Her slender fingers were casually swiping, and suddenly, her hand paused.


    She looked down and saw the two words Night Alliance on the screen. She raised her eyebrows slightly and opened up the chat. She did not expect that there would be such an organization in the 21st century.


    Night Alliance was an international mercenary trading platform. All kinds of things could be traded, and at the same time, orders could be placed there. There would be people who would take the orders to give it to others to complete it.


    Suddenly, a text message came into her phone.


    Lu Jinqi opened it and saw that it was from Netherworld. The content was simple, it had one sentence attached with one URL.


    [I saw that you were online and knew that you would be interested. The URL has been sent to you.]


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she replied calmly.


    [Thank you.)


    She clicked on the website and saw the latest list on the homepage. She was looking for someone with superb medical skills and the reward was 100 million dollars.


    Medical Skills? Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and accepted it without hesitation.


    She had learned many things in her life. Coincidentally, she knew that this medicine was really good.


    ¡°What? You want to take leave again?¡± Cheng Xin pinched the space between her eyebrows and looked at her in disbelief.


    Jinqi had just promised her that she would study hard, yet this student wanted to take another leave in less than two hours.


    Lu Jinqi touched the back of her neck. ¡°Yes, I have something to do.¡±


    Cheng Xin said angrily, ¡°Do you know that the monthly exams are coming up soon? How can you do this?¡±


    Lu Jinqi did not say anything except stare back.


    Faced with her gaze, Cheng Xin could not bear to say anything too harsh. In the end, she gave up and waved her hand. ¡°I approve, but I have a request. Don¡¯t sleep during the next exam.¡± Hearing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s beautiful eyes sparkled. The corners of her lips curled up as she said nonchalantly.


    ¡°Teacher Cheng, you¡¯re making things difficult for me.¡±


    Cheng Xin¡¯s brows twitched. ¡°Otherwise, you¡¯ll have to go back to class obediently.¡±


    Lu Jinqi smiled lightly, her entire body sighed in defeat.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try my best.¡±


    After getting the answer she wanted, Cheng Xin let her go. ¡°Alright, go and come back as soon as you can.¡±


    Lu Jinqi smiled faintly and turned to leave.


    Immediately after, another sentence came from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t do it again.¡± In the classroom, three people were eagerly waiting for Lu Jinqi¡¯s arrival. In the end, she never came back. Xie Shuyao could not help but to call the absent student, ¡°Qiqi, where did you go?¡±


    At that moment, Lu Jinqi was already on the way to the airport. She sat in the car, her cold eyes looked dazed as she looked out the window.


    ¡°I¡¯m taking a leave. I have something to do.¡±


    ¡°Then when are you coming back?¡± Xie Shuyao was smart enough not to ask what she was going to do. Instead, she was concerned about when she was coming back.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s fair arm casually leaned against the car window. ¡°About a week.¡±


    After hanging up, Xie Shuyao told Xiao Yao and the rest about Lu Jinqi¡¯s leave.


    Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows. ¡°Jinqi said to study hard, but now she¡¯s taken a week¡¯s leave. Her methods are really wild I tell you!¡±

 Chapter 27 - Jinqis Medical Skills Were Questioned

    Chapter 27 Jinqi¡¯s Medical Skills Were Questioned


    Lu Jinqi had just arrived at the airport when an unknown call came in.


    ¡°Is this White Deer? Have you arrived at the airport?¡± A young man¡¯s voice came from the other end of the line.


    Lu Jinqi wore a voice changer and her tone was flat. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here.¡±


    She was not surprised that the other party knew her number. The two of them had contacted each other through text messages before they arrived.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up.¡± The man was surprised to hear Lu Jinqi¡¯s voice. Clearly, he did not expect White Deer to be a girl.


    He was very confused.


    ¡°No need, send me the address.¡± Lu Jinqi walked out with her long legs, refusing the person¡¯s offer on the phone.


    The man did not insist on picking her up and agreed immediately.


    Soon, a text message arrived. Seeing the address, Lu Jinqi¡¯s brows raised slightly.


    After leaving the airport, she took a taxi to the city center and walked straight into a Shengbai building.


    She wore a mask and walked into a shop. When she came out, her long black hair had turned into silver strands, shining under the lights.


    Lu Jinqi looked down at the school uniform on her body, slightly stunned. Then, she walked into a men¡¯s clothing store and chose a set of clothes to wear.


    When she finished changing, everyone in the store turned to look at her. The female employees¡¯ faces were red and their eyes were glinting


    Her silver hair was a little messy as it covered her forehead slightly. Her eyes were alluring and her thin lips were curled up.


    She was wearing a white round-necked hoodie and a pair of pure white harem trousers. She had a black bag on her shoulder and her entire body exuded a languid and handsome presence.


    A girl whispered to the friend beside her, ¡°I thought this outfit was ordinary when I first came in, but now I suddenly feel like it¡¯s exquisite.¡±


    The girl was also excited and nodded in agreement. ¡°Me too, now I want to buy this outfit too.¡±


    All of a sudden, all the girls told the shop assistant to get the same outfit Ju Jinqi wore. This was the first time the shop assistant had seen such a situation, so she was a little stunned.


    It was the manager who came to his senses, and with a bright face, he called for someone to go get the goods.


    However, during this period, a small incident happened, causing everyone to be at a loss.


    A young couple had a disagreement, and the girl insisted on buying this set. However, the boy felt that this set was not good-looking and did not match his whole vibe, so he was unwilling to get it for her.


    In the end, the girl directly said something, causing him to be speechless. ¡°Where did this attitude come from? This is the set I want, it¡¯s clean and neat, not like you.¡± Lu Jinqi acted like a bystander as she calmly paid the bill and left.


    ¡°You¡¯re White Deer?¡± The man asked in disbelief.


    Twenty minutes ago, he had received a call from Lu Jinqi and came out to pick her up. When he saw her, he was stunned.


    Even though she was wearing a mask, he could tell from her eyes and brows that she looked like a very young girl. If she said that she was a celebrity, people would have probably believed her.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s voice was low. ¡°Is there a problem with that?¡±


    The man came back to his senses and shook his head. ¡°No, let me introduce myself. My name is Kuang Jin.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi replied with a nod, indicating that she knew.


    Seeing how calm she was, the corners of Kuang Jin¡¯s mouth twitched. He felt defeated. This was the first time he had seen someone react like this when they heard his name.


    Lu Jinqi was impatient. Under the mask, her thin lips parted slightly. ¡°Where¡¯s the patient?¡± Kuang Jin regained his composure and brought her to the door of a room. He stopped.


    ¡°Just to let you know, the person inside is the president of the Calligraphy Association. Earlier, he suddenly fainted. The doctor said that there was a blood clot in his brain, but he¡¯s too old to guarantee that the surgery will be successful, so¡­¡±


    He could not finish his sentence, and his expression was heavy.


    Lu Jinqi understood what he wanted to say, but she could not make a conclusion without seeing the patient.


    ¡°I need to take a look at it myself.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Kuang Jin opened the door and the two of them walked in together.


    Lu Jinqi went forward to look at the old man with white hair on the bed. She carefully pulled his sleeves up and placed her fingers on his wrist.


    After a long while, she turned to look at Kuang Jin. ¡°I only have a 70 percent chance of success rate at this point.¡±


    70 percent? Kuang Jin¡¯s eyes widened when he heard that. After all, the other doctors had told him that there was only a 30 percent chance of survival were they to operate on this old man.


    Now that the person in front of him had told him that he had a 70 percent chance, how could he not be excited.


    ¡°70 percent? Sure.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows when she heard that. ¡°You can make this decision that quick?¡±


    Kuang Jin understood what she meant. Perhaps she had misunderstood him, so he could not help but rub his head. ¡°I forgot to mention that the person on the bed is my grandfather.¡±


    ¡°Oh, you don¡¯t look alike,¡± Lu Jinqi said lazily, glancing at the person on the bed.


    Kuang Jin was stunned, but he realized what she meant. It would be a miracle if a grandfather and a grandson looked alike.


    As though she had seen enough of his expression, Lu Jinqi¡¯s red lips curled up. ¡°I was just joking.¡±


    ¡°Then you really have a wicked sense of humor¡­¡¯


    Kuang Jin rolled his eyes at her and snapped, ¡°When do we start?¡±


    ¡°Now,¡± Lu Jinqi said as she took out something from her bag. When she opened it, it was filled with acupuncture needles. When Kuang Jin saw these things, he frowned.


    ¡°You¡¯re a chinese doctor?¡±


    Lu Jingi looked at him and said softly, ¡°Yes, can¡¯t I not be one?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not just that, are you sure¡­ you know what you¡¯re doing? You have to know that western doctors can¡¯t do anything about it. Chinese doctors have been declining for so long¡­¡± Kuang Jin suddenly regretted agreeing to her. Who would still seek treatment from a chinese doctor?


    They had looked for so many western doctors but they were all useless. Could chinese doctors even help at this point?


    Hearing the disdain in his words, Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes turned cold. A cold smile hung on the corner of her lips.


    ¡°Why? Could it be that the ancestors of the Kuang family have started using western medicine instead? Chinese medicine has been passed down for many generations, but to you, it doesn¡¯t work?¡± Hearing that, Kuang Jin understood that she had been angered. Even though what she said made sense, he was still suspicious of chinese medicine!


    A hint of mockery flashed across Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes. She packed her things and prepared to leave.


    At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared at the door. When he saw this scene, he looked at Kuang Jin in confusion.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Kuang Jin walked over quickly and told him the whole story in a hushed voice.


    When he heard this, the man slapped his head in anger. ¡°What are you talking about?¡±


    Kuang Jin was stunned. He stared blankly at his father as he walked towards Lu Jinqi.


    ¡°White Deer, right? I¡¯m sorry, this little brat doesn¡¯t know what he;s saying. We definitely have no intention of looking down on chinese medicine.¡±


    The man was shocked for a second when he saw Lu Jinqi. However, he was someone who had been through a lot. There were many geniuses in this world that were younger than this kid.


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s cold eyes remained the same. She said unhurriedly, ¡°Since you guys prefer the western medicine treatment, I shall take my leave.¡±


    Chinese medicine had been passed down for thousands of years, but now, she was looked down upon by a young boy. She did not know whether to feel sad or sigh.


    Seeing her like this, the man panicked. They had looked for so many doctors, but it was all for naught. Now, there was finally hope, but it was all ruined by his useless son, Kuang Jin.


    With that thought, he glared fiercely at Kuang Jin. He would settle the score with him later.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you get your *ss over here and apologize?¡±


    Kuang Jin held back his anger and slowly moved over. He carefully apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have said that.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s expression was impatient. His apology did not mean anything to her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t take this job.¡±


    She coldly said those words and quickly left with her equipment bag.

 Chapter 28 - Pitiful J

    Chapter 28 Pitiful J


    Kuang Jin did not expect things to turn out this way. He could only stare blankly at Lu Jinqi¡¯s back as she left.


    ¡°Look at you. You can¡¯t even do such a simple thing, and you even offended someone.¡± The man looked at him with disappointment, his voice was filled with resentment.


    When Kuang Jin heard this, he lowered his head, as though he had been taught a lesson.


    After a long while, he muttered to himself, ¡°Who would have thought that White Deer would have such a bad temper?¡±


    The man¡¯s eyes widened when he heard his son mumbling. ¡°What are you mumbling about?¡±


    ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Kuang Jin quickly shook his head. ¡°So, what should we do next?¡±


    Kuang Hengdong frowned and thought for a while. ¡°Go and contact other chinese medicine experts and see what they have to say.¡±


    Since they were both chinese medicine experts, they should be able to do anything.


    Hearing his words, Kuang Jin¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡®That¡¯s right! I can find someone else, why didn¡¯t I think of that?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯ll get going.¡±


    Lu Jinqi walked out of the Kuang family¡¯s residence with a heavy heart. Her gestures were filled with hostility, and her face was cold.


    At that moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated, and she took it out to take a look at what the messenger sent. (What¡¯s the situation like?]


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s slender fingers tapped a few times on the screen before turning it off.


    [I rejected it.]


    When Netherworld saw the message on his phone, she was a little stunned. Why did she reject it?


    However, based on J¡¯s personality, it was most likely a problem with the person who placed the order.


    With that thought, he could not suppress his curiosity and made a call.


    When she saw the phone ring, Lu Jinqi was noy surprised at all, as though she had expected it.


    Just as the call connected, an excited voice came from the other end. ¡°J, Quick, tell me, what happened?¡±


    He had not expected J to know medical skills. If it was not for the fact that she was already an amazing hacker, he probably would not have doubted it.


    Only when he asked and received an affirmative answer did he realize that he had guessed wrongly. He was very happy about this discovery. Out of the few of them, he was the only one who knew this secret. It was simply too satisfying, making him want to know more.


    Lu Jinqi casually hailed a cab and leaned against the back of a chair. With one hand lightly clutching onto the phone, she said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. They prefer western medicine compared to chinese medicine.¡±


    Hearing this, Netherworld knew that things were more complicated than he thought now. Then, he imagined how the scene unfolded and could not help but feel pity for Lu Jinqi.


    ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡±


    Lu Jinqi was shocked by this sentence. Without even thinking, she knew that Netherworld had imagined what happened. After all, this was not the first time it happened to chinese doctors.


    ¡°Speak up,¡± Lu Jinqi said coldly.


    Alright, sensing the danger in her tone, Netherworld instantly returned to normal.


    ¡°So, you¡¯re really going to reject it?¡± She had checked the identity of the person who placed the order. He was the grandson of the president of the Z country¡¯s Calligraphy Association. He had a rich background, so why was he that brainless?


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were cold as she looked at the scenery outside the window. She said nonchalantly, ¡°It depends on what they choose.¡±


    Netherworld immediately recognized the tone of her voice. ¡°You mean they might look for other chinese medicine practitioners?¡±


    Lu Jinqi hummed in agreement. ¡°I rejected them today. It¡¯s normal for them to look for other people.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, so you¡¯ll still be in charge of this matter either way,¡± Netherworld said with certainty.


    After all, J was the person who had hacked into someone else¡¯s research institute. Now that the other party was the president of an association, he would not just ignore this matter. Lu Jinqi suddenly thought of the old man from her previous life. He seemed to be around the same age as the old man from the Kuang family. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, I have someone to do. I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Immediately after, she hung up.


    When she arrived at the hotel she booked, Lu Jinqi threw herself onto the bed the moment she entered the room.


    In Banyan City.


    Zhu Lanzhi, who had been observing them from the start, led a group of thugs to guard the place Lu Jinqi passed by every time. As time ticked by and the person they were waiting for had yet to arrive, the girl started to get impatient.


    ¡°I say, Zhu Lanzhi, is your route accurate?¡±


    Zhu Lanzhi glared at her fiercely. ¡°Absolutely.¡±


    She had been following her on this route for the past few days, there was no mistake about


    it.


    She was sure that she had the talent in tailing people, but in reality, Lu Jinqi already knew about it. She just wanted to see what Zhu Lazhi was going to do.


    ¡°Then why hasn¡¯t she come here?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you have to know that our time is very precious,¡± the boy added. Hearing this, Zhu Lanzhi¡¯s expression twisted. After all, it was just a matter of money.


    ¡°I¡¯ll double the cash.¡±


    The few of them received a satisfactory answer and finally quieted down. In the end, they waited for a day and a night. The group of people shivered with the autumn wind when they decided to call it off.


    The next day, Zhu Lanzhi appeared in Class One with two giant panda eyes and yawned.


    Song Yayin looked up and saw that she was not in good spirits. Her delicate eyes were filled with worry.


    ¡°What happened to you? Didn¡¯t you sleep well last night?¡±


    When she mentioned this, Zhu Lanzhi¡¯s eyes almost dropped out of her eye sockets. Thinking of what happened last night, she could not help but kick the closest thing to her, a chair.


    A crisp bang sound rang in the classroom, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Zhu Lanzhi roared with a ferocious expression.


    Being yelled at like that, everyone was stunned at first, but when they realized who it was, the classroom exploded.


    ¡°Are you crazy?¡±


    ¡°This is a school, not your home. If you want to lose your temper, go back to your own home.¡±


    For a moment, Zhu Lanzhi was ridiculed by everyone. She immediately panicked and grabbed the sleeves of someone close to her, not knowing what to do.


    Sensing the movement on her body, Song Yayin¡¯s eyes flashed with impatience. She did not expect Zhu Lanzhi to be like this in the classroom, and now she had to save herself from this situation.


    Song Yayin¡¯s face was filled with gentleness. She looked at everyone with her watery eyes and smiled apologetically. ¡°Lanzhi did not sleep well yesterday, that¡¯s why she¡¯s like this. It wasn¡¯t intentional.¡±


    After saying that, she looked at Zhu Lanzhi with her.


    Zhu Lanzhi caught her gaze and reacted. She said awkwardly, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±


    Seeing Song Yanyin come out to defend her friend, everyone pursed their lips and averted their gazes. They did not know why she would be friends with such a person.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Song Yanyin pulled her out of the door. Her face darkened as she asked angrily.


    ¡°It¡¯s about Lu Jinqi¡­¡± Zhu Lanzhi instinctively opened her mouth when she was questioned by her. However, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and dared not to finish her sentence.


    Lu Jinqi again?


    Song Yayin¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her?¡±


    ¡°I only found out today that she took a week¡¯s leave,¡± Zhu Lanzhi said.


    Spending so much money to hire those people was a waste.


    ¡°Leave of absence? Why?¡± Song Yayin¡¯s voice was filled with surprise.


    She had actually taken a leave of absence for a week. She had never done such a thing in Defeng before. It seemed like she had changed. She was still a good-for-nothing at heart.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know why.¡± Zhu Lanzhi shook her head.


    Kuang Hengdong and his son anxiously stared at the best chinese medicine specialist in the research institute and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation like?¡±


    The specialist sighed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t help you with this problem, Mr Kuang.¡±


    ¡°Why can¡¯t you? Someone said they could earlier,¡± Kuang Jin raised his voice and spoke quickly. The specialist was stunned when he heard that. In the end, there was always someone better than him. Perhaps someone had better chinese medicine skills than him.


    ¡°Then you two can look for that person instead of me.¡±


    After saying that, the two of them froze. Another person had been driven away by his careless son.


    What now!


    ¡°Mr Kuang, know that you can¡¯t drag this out any longer.¡± The expert looked at them doubtfully and reminded them.


    Hearing this, Kuang Hengdong said decisively, ¡°Kuang Jin, go and find White Deer right away.¡±

 Chapter 29 - Kuang Jins Gift

    Chapter 29 Kuang Jin¡¯s Gift


    Kuang Jin heard what he said and stopped in his tracks.


    Kuang Hengdong frowned when he saw his unmoving son. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±


    Kuang Jin turned around and scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°I don¡¯t know where White Deer lives.¡± He should have asked earlier. However, with White Deer¡¯s personality, he never asked anything.


    Kuang Hengdong really wanted to beat the little b*stard up. What was he trying to do?


    ¡°Then make whatever calls you need to make. You have to find White Deer today, no matter what.¡± Kuang Hengdong turned his head away, no longer looking at him.


    Kuang Jin pursed his lips and replied with an oh before leaving with his phone to his ear.


    Lu Jinqi was playing games in the hotel room when her phone suddenly started ringing. She raised her eyebrows and licked her red lips wickedly.


    ¡°You¡¯re pretty fast.¡±


    She hung up mercilessly. It was not until the phone rang for the third time that she picked it


    up.


    ¡°White Deer, where are you? I sincerely hope that you can save my grandfather,¡± Kuang Jin directly went straight to the point, his tone was anxious.


    Lu Jinqi stood up lazily in front of the window. Her cold eyes were tinged with laziness, and the corners of her lips curled up.


    ¡°What? So if the western doctors couldn¡¯t do it, does that mean the chinese doctors can?¡±


    Hearing this, Kuang Jin¡¯s face darkened. ¡®If you can successfully do it, I¡¯ll apologize to you.¡¯ He could only suppress this thought in his heart and continue to explain, ¡°Yesterday, I didn¡¯t mean to do it on purpose. I was just a little flustered at the time, so I spoke without thinking. They say that doctors are kind-hearted. I don¡¯t want you to choose to give up on saving someone because of my mistake.¡±


    He thought that saying this would stir up Lu Jinqi¡¯s responsibility as a doctor.


    Who would have thought that it was the opposite.


    Lu Jinqi looked outside casually and smiled, bright and impudent.


    ¡°You¡¯re talking about a proper doctor. Unfortunately, I¡¯m not.¡±


    Kuang Jin was shocked by this sentence. Nowadays, were they all self-deprecating?


    He lowered his head and thought about how to respond to her, but the other party spoke first.


    Lu Jinqi chuckled and pursed her lips. ¡°But you¡¯re right. It¡¯s not worth it to lose someone in Z country because of you.¡±


    Kuang Jin could not get angry. In this situation, whatever she said had to be seen as right.


    ¡°Then you agree on helping?¡± he asked carefully.


    ¡°Wait for me,¡± Lu Jinqi said slowly.


    After hanging up, Kuang Jin squatted at the entrance of his house under the sun, looking silly as he waited for someone.


    Lu Jinqi casually walked in and saw this scene.


    Hearing sounds, Kuang Jin raised his head, and their eyes met.


    Suddenly, Lu Jinqi curled her red lips and looked at him calmly.


    ¡°Are you house watching?¡±


    Kuang Jin¡¯s legs were a little numb from squatting for too long. Just as he stood up, he stumbled forward because of this sentence.


    Lu Jinqi turned her body to the side and saw Kuang Jin sprawled on the ground in a sorry state.


    She raised her eyes, a playful look in her eyes.


    ¡°Kuang Jin, it must have been hard for you to apologize in such a dramatic way.¡±


    Kuang Jin, who was about to get up, heard her words and immediately sprawled on the ground, motionless.


    At that moment, he wished for a crack in the ground to swallow him whole. He really did not want to face such a wicked person.


    When Kuang Hengdong heard the commotion outside, he walked out and saw Kuang Jin sprawled on the ground while White Deer stood by the side.


    He raised his hand to press between his brows, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, but he could not help but burst out.


    With that, Kuang Jin heard his old man¡¯s angry


    roar.


    ¡°Kuang Jin, how pathetic do you think you look like sprawled on the ground? Hurry up and get in here.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled up when she heard the outburst. It seemed like someone was going to suffer.


    Kuang Jin flipped over and stood up as quickly as he could, brushing off the dust on his body.


    Then, the three of them went into the room. Lu Jinqi took out her things and looked at them with un-welcoming eyes. ¡°Get out.¡±


    When the father and son heard that, they obediently left and closed the door behind them.


    As time passed, the two of them paced back and forth worriedly with tense shoulders.


    Finally, the door opened, and Lu Jinqi¡¯s fair face was covered in sweat. Her eyes looked tired as she walked out.


    Seeing the worry and concern on their faces, she said slowly, ¡°He¡¯s fine. He¡¯ll wake up in two hours.¡±


    Hearing the answer they wanted, Kuang Jin and Kuang Hengdong still felt that it was unbelievable.


    Lu Jinqi ¡ª not caring about what they were thinking ¡ª took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a prescription, and handed it over.


    ¡°Follow it according to what it says, take it for about three days.¡±


    Kuang Hengdong took the paper and lowered his head. When he read the content on the piece of paper, he could not help but sigh. ¡°Good handwriting.¡±


    ¡°Transfer the fees to this account,¡± Lu Jinqi wrote a string of numbers and handed it to Kuang Jin.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Kuang Jin took it and started to transfer the money.


    In an instant, Lu Jinqi¡¯s phone rang. When she saw the amount on it, she raised her eyebrows slightly.


    Kuang Jin smiled. ¡°The remaining 50 million can be considered as my rude apology.¡±


    When Lu Jinqi heard this, she hummed lightly.


    Qi Ye and a few friends were about to come over for dinner when they scanned their surroundings and saw a very familiar girl not too far away.


    The closer he walked, the more he realized that it was really her.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, what are you doing here?¡±


    The girl who was eating froze when she heard a familiar voice.


    It could not be such a coincidence, right?


    She lifted her head with a cold expression, but when she did not see the other man, her heart relaxed.


    ¡°I¡¯m eating,¡± Lu Jinqi spat out two words.


    ¡®I¡¯m not asking if you¡¯re eating or not!¡¯


    Qi Ye was about to retort when the person beside him smiled and said, ¡°Qi Ye, where did you meet her? She¡¯s really pretty!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, were you keeping her as a secret?¡±


    Hearing these jokes, Qi Ye stomped on the person closest to him and gave a warning, ¡°Stop talking nonsense, or else you¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡±


    With Master Jing acting like he did, how could he dare have any thoughts or feelings towards Lu Jinqi? He did not want to live a short life.


    After receiving the warning, the few of them quickly shut up with curiosity in their eyes. ¡°Does Master Jing know that you came to the capital?¡± Qi Ye sat across from Lu Jinqi, propping up his chin as he slowly asked.


    Lu Jinqi raised the end of her eyebrows lazily. ¡°Why should I tell him?¡±


    Qi Ye¡¯s heart choked. Was he not your so-called big brother?


    The few people beside them heard this and looked at each other. To think that she was actually related to Master Jing made her more interesting. Who exactly was this girl?


    Qi Ye looked at her and called for the waiter. ¡°Arrange another table. We¡¯ll share the bill.¡± The waiter was in a dilemma. ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pay double the money,¡± a boy stepped forward and said.


    Soon, a large table was placed beside Lu Jinqi. She looked at the group of people expressionlessly, her eyes filled with impatience.


    ¡°Qi Ye, you¡¯re boring me.¡±


    Qi Ye, who was called out, took the menu and ordered whatever was expensive.


    ¡°Do you want to eat anything else?¡± He turned his head and asked.


    Lu Jinqi gripped the side of the table, resisting the urge to hit him. She said coldly, ¡°Yes, your grandpa.¡±


    ¡°I really can¡¯t offer that to you right now. My grandpa is waiting for his little child in Banyan. I guess you¡¯ll have to wait for that to be available,¡± Qi Ye said as he helplessly spread his hands and winked at Lu Jinqi.

 Chapter 30 - Master Jing is Handsome and Rich

    Chapter 30 Master Jing is Handsome and Rich


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s brows twitched when she heard this. Her eyes were cold. ¡°Your grandpa sure knows how to play.¡±


    Qi Ye¡¯s eyes were filled with helplessness, but his mouth was full of smiles.


    ¡°Indeed, not only does my grandpa know how to play, he¡¯s also handsome and rich.¡±


    The few people beside them watched the two of them with great interest. They could not be any happier watching their banter.


    Was Qi Ye trying to promote Jingyun? Lu Jinqi chuckled as her beautiful eyes raised in contempt. ¡°Even so, he¡¯s too old for my taste.¡± Qi Ye was speechless and looked at her in disbelief. If he did not hear wrongly, Lu Jinqi was dissing the so-called Grandpa!


    This was probably the first time someone had said that. He really wanted to see how the person mentioned would react to it. With that thought in mind, he quickly sent a WeChat message to a certain someone.


    Si Jingyun was reading some documents when he heard a notification. He opened his phone and saw Qi Ye¡¯s message, [Master Jing, guess who I¡¯m with right now at the capital?]


    Si Jingyun¡¯s expression was very calm. He was not interested in Qi Ye¡¯s games. As he was about to turn it off, Qi Ye sent another message, (Lu Jinqi.]


    Reading the name, Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes darkened. His little child has gone to Beijing?


    At that moment, Qi Ye grinned cheerfully as he fixed his eyes on his phone. ¡®I¡¯m sure he¡¯s taken the bait.¡¯


    Soon, his phone rang. Seeing the caller, Qi Ye glanced at Lu Jinqi and mischievously picked it up. ¡°Master Jing, you called quick!¡± Si Jingyun sneered, his tone cold.


    ¡°Qi Ye, are you satisfied enough with this life for it to end now?¡±


    Qi Ye¡¯s smile froze. Master Jing was not giving Qi Ye any chances even though he spoke in high spirits.


    ¡°Give the phone to Jinny,¡± Si Jingyun said casually.


    ¡®I¡¯m just a tool, aren¡¯t I?¡¯ Qi Ye passed the phone to her impatiently.


    Lu Jinqi saw the phone in front of her, but she did not take it. Instead, she smiled faintly. ¡°Why? What did your grandpa say on the phone?¡±


    ¡°My grandpa wants to talk to you, hurry up and take it.¡± Qi Ye shoved the phone into her hand and took a swig of water.


    Just as Lu Jinqi placed the phone by her ear, she heard a man¡¯s alluring voice. ¡°Grandpa? Really?¡±


    Lu Jinqi chuckled softly. ¡°Qi Ye said that his grandpa is you. What else could I have said? It seems that your seniority is gradually rising from a Brother to Grandpa.¡±


    Sensing the ridicule in her words, Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes rolled as he let out a low laugh.


    ¡°Compared to being called grandpa, I prefer if you call me brother, Jinny.¡±

    There was no need for that. Having no response, Si Jingyun gave a deep smile. ¡°Why are you in the capital?¡±


    ¡°I have something to do,¡± Lu Jinqi said concisely.


    The little child did not want to further explain, so Si Jingyun did not intend to ask. He asked gently, ¡°I¡¯m going to the capital tonight. Are you coming to pick me up?¡± Lu Jinqi would not be so narcissistic as to think that this man came to the capital for her. After thinking about it for a while, she agreed.


    ¡°Jinny, I¡¯ll see you tonight,¡± Si Jingyun said in a low magnetic voice before hanging up the phone.


    When the call ended, she threw the phone back to Qi Ye and continued eating.


    ¡°What did Master Jing say?¡± Qi Ye asked curiously.


    Lu Jinqi stared at him and curled her red lips. ¡°Is your grandpa happy that he¡¯s coming to the capital tonight?¡± ¡®The f*ck, Master Jing is even chasing her all the way to the capital?!¡¯ Old Master Si had been waiting for Master Jing to return every day, yet he never once though to visit.


    He could not help but sigh to himself. This little child¡¯s charm was really different!


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, where are you going after your


    meal?¡±


    Since Master Jing¡¯s return was already a done deal, it was better to ask about something else.


    ¡°Why, are you going to follow me?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s cold voice was filled with laziness.


    Qi Ye thought about it seriously. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible for me to do that.¡±


    ¡°Wash up and go back to sleep, old man.¡± Lu Jinqi glanced at him before leaving.


    Seeing her leave, Qi Ye smiled. Her temper was really similar to Master Jing¡¯s.


    ¡°Qi Ye, who was that girl?¡± The people beside him could not hold it in any longer. Now that the main character had left, they immediately asked.


    Qi Ye glanced around and saw that they were all in high spirits. He pretended to cough and said, ¡°Do you really want to know?¡±.


    ¡°Yes. ¡°The few of them nodded in unison and waited for the next big news.


    In the end, Qi Ye curtly said, ¡°Go and ask Master Jing yourself.¡±


    The few of them let out a long sigh. They would never have the courage to ask Master


    Jing.


    The Song family.


    Ever since Song Zhilin came back in a huff, the atmosphere had dampened. The servants were all trembling in fear of him having another outburst.


    Song Yayin came down from upstairs and scanned the room. When she did not see Song Zhilin, her expression instantly relaxed.


    She looked at the woman on the sofa and walked over coquettishly to hug the woman¡¯s arm. ¡°Mother, what do you want to eat today?¡±


    Zheng Shumin patted her head lovingly. ¡°Anything you want, you can ask for all your favorite food. Hurry up and go!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the best!¡± Song Yayin happily kissed her face.


    Zheng Shumin shook her head in amusement. No matter what, she would always be her little baby.


    After dinner, Song Yayin thought about what she had heard yesterday and could not help but speak up, ¡°Mother, Lu Jinqi took a leave of absence.¡±


    Zheng Shumin did not react at all. She only looked at Song Yayin and said in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. Your monthly exams are coming up soon, right?¡±. A dark light flashed in Song Yayin¡¯s eyes as she smiled gently. ¡°Yes, next week.¡±


    ¡°Focus on your exams. As for Lu Jinqi, your father has plans for that kid,¡± Zheng Shumin looked at her with a look of exhortation.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Song Yayin obediently agreed.


    That night, Lu Jinqi lazily leaned against the wall of the airport lobby, waiting for someone. Her eyes drooped as she unlocked her phone. Qi Ye saw her expression and his lips twitched. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to sit down?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled into an evil smile.


    Qi Ye knew he should not have asked the moment he said it.


    Sure enough, the next second, he heard the girl¡¯s voice. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you might need it more than me, old man.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. I¡¯m not even that old yet. So why should you say such things to me?¡¯


    The moment Si Jingyun came out, he saw someone eye-catching. Little did he know that his presence had also garnered the attention of someone else.


    Lu Jinqi seemed to have sensed something. She looked up and saw the man walking towards her. He was wearing a white shirt today. There were two loose buttons at the collar, and his neckline was clearly visible, extending down his visible chest.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Grandpa is here.¡±


    Lu Jinqi said faintly and walked over.


    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re looking especially handsome today.¡± When they first met, Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes lit up with a smile as he reached out to rub the girl¡¯s head.


    ¡°Jinny, watch your mouth.¡±


    Qi Ye was so thrown off by that comment that he questioned his whole existence being here. ¡®Why did I come to pick him up? Was it just to watch the two of them show off their affection?¡¯ Suddenly, he thought of what Lu Jinqi had said in the afternoon, and a sly look appeared in his eyes.


    ¡°Master Jing, I have something to say.¡±


    Si Jingyun glanced at him and whispered, ¡°What?¡±


    Lu Jinqi glanced sideways and saw Qi Ye smiling at her with a mischievous grin. The moment he looked at her, her heart sank.


    Then, Qi Ye snitched on her. ¡°Lu Jinqi said that you were an old man this afternoon.¡±


    Hearing this, the man slowly looked at the girl. His voice sounded throughout the airport lobby as he asked.


    ¡°Old?¡±


    Lu Jinqi casually tilted her head, and her red lips curled up suggestively. ¡°Would you believe me if I said I didn¡¯t?¡±

 Chapter 31 - Brother Seems More Fitting

    Chapter 31 Brother Seems More Fitting


    Si Jingyun unconsciously curled his lips and let out a hearty laugh.


    ¡°Jinny, do you really think so? I¡¯m not that old, perhaps brother seems more fitting for me.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes moved and her tone was casual. ¡°That¡¯s right, calling you brother makes more sense.¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun paused for a moment and stared straight at her. His thin lips curled up and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes. His magnetic deep voice was seductive and alluring as he spoke in her ear.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make you call me other names in the future.¡±


    This man did not know how to behave.


    Qi Ye had given up long ago and played with his phone while they flirted. He helplessly placed his hand on his forehead. ¡°I say, the two of you, we¡¯re in a public area.¡±


    Lu Jinqi looked at him indifferently with her cheeks flushed red as she retorted, ¡°You talk too much.¡±


    Qi Ye immediately looked at Si Jingyun, complaining, ¡°She said I talk too much.¡±


    Who would have thought that Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes would twinkle and smile a little when he heard that. His slender fingers clenched into a fist and he pressed them against his lips as he lightly coughed. ¡°She¡¯s right.¡±


    He spoke in a quick and casual manner without the slightest sense of guilt. Qi Ye was dumbstruck as he watched the two of them walk away. ¡®So the clown has been me all along.¡¯


    He followed them with heavy steps. Along the way, quietly questioned his life choices. He only continued until they got into the car. After that, Qi Ye seemed to have forgotten about his hurt. He sat in the driver¡¯s seat and began joking around again. ¡°Master Jing, are you going back to the mansion, or are you going to stay at the hotel with her?¡±


    Si Jingyun turned his head to look at the girl who had suddenly become obedient today and chuckled softly.


    ¡°Jinny, you¡¯re staying at a hotel?¡±


    Lu Jinqi took out her phone to reply to a message. When she heard his voice, she nodded.


    ¡°Qi Ye, go to Berling Manor,¡± Si Jingyun asked softly as he drummed his fingers on his lap.


    The moment he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes looking at him with a hint of hesitation.


    It was as though she was trying to see through his intentions.


    Si Jingyun raised his hand and pinched her cheeks. Then, he slowly inched closer, his low and alluring voice rang in her ears as he spoke, ¡°How could I ever let you stay in a hotel? I have no choice but to bring you home with


    me.¡±


    Lu Jinqi suddenly felt her heart burn. She moved her body and turned her head to look out the window.


    Si Jingyun watched as her ears turned red and her laughter trailed off. ¡°You¡¯re cute when you¡¯re shy.¡±


    His response caused another shade of pink to appear on her cheeks.


    Qi Ye had been secretly observing the two of them through the rearview mirror. As he watched the interaction, a plan came to his mind.


    He suddenly slammed on the brakes. Due to inertia, the car rushed forward. Seeing that the girl was about to crash into the back of the front chair, Si Jingyun pulled her into his arms.


    Lu Jinqi lay on the man¡¯s chest. Hearing the strong heartbeat, her mind went silent.


    Si Jingyun lowered his head and saw her stunned face. He could not help but raise his hand and gently stroke her long hair behind her ear.


    ¡°Jinny, are you planning to stay in my arms forever?¡±


    Lu Jinqi snapped out of her thoughts and retreated from his arms. She hastily sat back in her seat, the corners of her lips curling up.


    ¡°Will you wait forever to pull me back when I leave?¡±


    Qi Ye saw how perfect his assist was, and just as he was thinking about whether he should do it again, he met a certain someone¡¯s cold gaze from the rearview mirror.


    ¡®Forget it, I shouldn¡¯t have helped you at all!¡¯


    After that, he safely drove the car all the way to the Berling Manor. Lu Jinqi looked at the retro european-style building in front of her in awe. With one hand in her pocket, she whistled with her red lips.


    ¡°You sure are rich and generous, brother.¡±


    This was much bigger than the house that she had spent 100 million on. She was sure that she was the poorest among all of them as she stared at this house.


    ¡°Do you like this place?¡± Si Jingyun stood behind her. He gazed at her as he asked.


    Lu Jinqi turned her head. The ends of her eyebrows were raised with indifference. ¡°Why? Do you plan on changing the ownership of the house.¡±


    Si Jingyun chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m just saying that if you like it, stop standing there and go in to take a look with me.¡±


    ¡®Why am I even here¡­¡¯ Qi Ye looked at Si Jingyun looking at Jinqi with a charming expression and sighed. Without caring, he immediately spoke up.


    ¡°Master Jing, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    Si Jingyun hummed softly and brought Lu Jinqi into the house.


    After taking a shower, Lu Jinqi lay on the bed. Her mind suddenly recalled the embrace in the car. She had to admit that this man had a good figure.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows. What was this man doing in the middle of the night? She went over and opened the door.


    What greeted her eyes was a man in a white robe. He stood there lazily with a glass of milk in his hand.


    ¡°Dearest brother, are you trying to seduce me with a glass of milk?¡±


    When she said this, she swept a meaningful glance at his faintly discernible chest as she emphasized the word brother.


    Si Jingyun pinched her cheeks, as though he was punishing her.


    Her red lips curled up as she looked at him calmly.


    ¡°Jinny, when will you ever clean that dirty mind of yours?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips twitched slightly. ¡®You¡¯re wearing a robe and knocking on my door at night, yet you¡¯re saying that my thoughts aren¡¯t clean? Do you even hear yourself?¡¯


    Si Jingyun seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He raised his eyelids and said casually, ¡°I just finished showering and went downstairs to get milk for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Lu Jinqi said as she took the milk from the man¡¯s hand and drank it in one gulp. Then, she mercilessly closed the door.


    Si Jingyun glanced at the empty cup in his hand and chuckled. She had quite a temper.


    Early in the morning, Qi Ye came over with food in his hands. When Lu Jinqi went downstairs, she saw him running in circles preparing everything.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake. Come over for breakfast,¡± Qi ye raised his head and warmly greeted her.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows slightly, a cute smile formed on her lips. ¡°Qi Ye, you¡¯re a master at doing everything, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Qi Ye¡¯s body froze. ¡®Do you think I wanted to do this? An *sshole called me early in the morning just for this.¡¯ Shaking his head, he decided to say something else. ¡°So, seeing that I¡¯m a master at everything, can you consider my feelings the next time you flaunt your love with Master Jing?¡±


    Lu Jinqi picked up a bowl of porridge and had small bites. Hearing this, she replied without hesitation, ¡°Look somewhere else then¡­ Or you can always go blind to avoid it.¡± When Si Jingyun came downstairs, to his surprise, he was caught in an awkward scene. The girl was leisurely eating her porridge while Qi Ye angrily stared at her.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Before Lu Jinqi could speak, Qi Ye exasperated his opinions, ¡°Master Jing, she¡¯s bullying me.¡±


    Si Jingyun elegantly sat at the dining table and only shrugged as a response.


    ¡®Just like that? That¡¯s the only thing you¡¯re going to say to me?¡¯ Qi Ye fiercely grabbed a bun and took a bite out of frustration. He looked at the two in spite as he ruminated on his thoughts.


    Suddenly, a ringtone broke the silence. Si Jingyun pressed the speakerphone. ¡°What¡¯s


    up?¡±


    ¡°Master Jing, I heard that you¡¯re back in the capital. They¡¯re setting up a meeting later, do you want to come over?¡± A man on the other end of the phone said happily.


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun tilted his head and looked at Qi Ye, who had his head lowered as he angrily ate the bread. He coldly rejected him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have the time.¡±


    The man refused to give up. ¡°You just got back. What do you mean you don¡¯t have the time?¡±


    ¡°I have to take care of a child.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s languid and lazy voice sounded. The other two people looked at him in shock. Even the man on the other end of the phone was shocked.


    ¡°What? Where did you get a child from?¡±


    ¡®F*ck, where did Master Jing get a child from? Could it be an illegitimate child?¡¯ the man on the other side of the phone frantically panicked.


    ¡°I picked that child up, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Si Jingyun hung up the phone and slowly sipped his tea.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows curiously, her red lips curled up as she asked, ¡°You picked me


    up?¡±

 Chapter 32 - Si Jingyun the Beast

    Chapter 32 Si Jingyun the Beast


    Si Jingyun could not help but smile. ¡°I picked you up at a hotel.¡±


    Lu Jinqi understood what he meant and smiled, raising the ends of her pretty eyes upward.


    Qi Ye still had food in his mouth, but he suddenly found it hard to swallow it down. It was too early in the morning for something like this to happen. He could not take it any longer.


    Lu Jinqi glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. With a playful look in her eyes, she slowly picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.


    She said calmly, ¡°Qi Ye, did you eat something disgusting? What¡¯s up with your face?¡±


    Qi Ye was stunned at first, but after he realized what she meant, he spat out the food in his mouth and cursed loudly.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi I swear to fuc-¡± Seeing this, one of Si Jingyun¡¯s eyebrow was raised toward Qi ye, as if challenging him to continue. However, Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. With a lazy expression, she nonchalantly stood up, ¡°You can raise your voice all you want. I don¡¯t care.¡±


    Qi Ye resisted the urge to curse and looked at the other person. ¡°Master Jing, aren¡¯t you going to interfere?¡±


    As he spoke, he pointed at the child in distaste.


    Si Jingyun glanced at him, his slender fingers tapping on the table as he said lazily, ¡°Why should I? And why aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡±


    Qi Ye stood up, clutching his chest as he took a step back. ¡°You¡¯re really kicking me out?¡±


    Who would have thought that Si Jingyun would nod his head without any hesitation.


    ¡°Stop being a drama queen.¡± At that moment, Lu Jinqi¡¯s mood lifted, a small curve appeared on her face as she stifled a laugh.


    ¡°Jinny, I¡¯ve got some business to attend to, I¡¯ll be right back,¡± Si Jingyun said to the girl on the sofa after changing into a new set of clothes.


    Hearing the voice, Lu Jinqi raised her eyes and moved her fingers. The man was in an expensive suit. His long legs were tightly wrapped around the pants, and he looked as charming as ever.


    At that moment, his eyes were filled with adoration towards the little child, but his entire body was filled with indifference.


    When Si Jingyun felt that the girl was staring for too long, the corners of his lips curled up into a casual smile.


    ¡°Jinny, restrain yourself.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi cupped her chin and looked at him with a smile.


    ¡°Brother, were you reporting your schedule to me just now?¡±


    Si Jingyun walked over slowly and bent down. ¡°If you think that¡¯s what I did, then it shall be.¡±


    The man¡¯s tone was neither fast nor slow, and his languid voice tickled her eardrums. He was so close that she could even feel his breath on her skin.


    When he saw that the girl¡¯s ears were completely red, Si Jingyun carelessly pinched her earlobe and smirked.


    Lu Jinqi felt as though she was enveloped by his breath, and the pinch on her ears made her heart tremble. After calming down, she curved her lips.


    ¡°Leave so you can come back quicker!¡±


    Si Jingyun nodded, his deep voice could not help but chuckle. ¡°I won¡¯t make you wait that long.¡±


    Lu Jinqi looked at his back as he left. Feeling the throbbing in her heart, she placed her hand on her forehead and smiled.


    This time, trouble was brewing.


    Si family¡¯s residence.


    When the butler saw a familiar car drive in, he immediately smiled and turned to speak to the old man on the sofa.


    ¡°Sir, Master Jing is back.¡± The old man adjusted his glasses and focused on reading the newspaper. His voice was calm. ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that brat coming back? Wouldn¡¯t he just leave as soon as he can later?¡±


    Si Jingyun heard the old man¡¯s words as soon as he entered the room and smiled helplessly.


    ¡°You seem to be in good spirits.¡±


    Hearing the voice, the old man put down the newspaper in his hand and snorted coldly.


    ¡°I¡¯m definitely in good spirits without you pissing me off.¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows. ¡°Is that so? Then why do I get a call from someone every day asking to come back?¡±


    The old man was momentarily at a loss for words. He glared at Si Jingyun while stroking his beard.


    Seeing this, Si Jingyun walked over and sat down. He slowly poured a glass of water and handed it over.


    ¡°Hello, Grandfather.¡±


    The old man looked at him, took the glass and took a sip. He suddenly thought of something and spoke up.


    ¡°I heard that you brought a little girl back.¡±


    Needless to say, Yena must have told him this.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Si Jingyun replied with a smile.


    Hearing that he did not deny it, the old man put down the cup and excitedly asked for more. ¡°Where is the little girl from? How is your development going? When are you going to bring her back to meet the family?¡±.


    After a series of questions, Si Jingyun looked helpless. He knew that this was going to happen. ¡°Grandfather, she¡¯s not an adult yet.¡±


    As he finished speaking, the old man scolded in a deep voice, ¡°You beast. Although I want a granddaughter-in-law, you can¡¯t abduct someone else¡¯s underage child!¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s eyebrows jumped and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His eyes stared at him in shock.


    Being stared at like this, the old man felt that his reaction might have been too much. ¡°Well, does that little girl like you?¡±


    ¡°Grandfather, this is between me and her. Please, try not to interfere.¡± Si Jingyun¡¯s tone was cold when he spoke.


    A hint of relief flashed in the old man¡¯s eyes. It seemed that this kid was being serious. With a granddaughter-in-law, a great-grandson would not be far away. With this thought in mind, he mumbled, ¡°Who cares about your st*pid business? I¡¯ve already taught you countless times to never bully a girl.¡±


    Si Jingyun heard him and chuckled.


    Jinny¡¯s temper was definitely not one to be trifled with.


    In the afternoon, Si Jingyun brought Lu Jinqi to a club.


    Looking at the facilities in front of her, Lu Jinqi turned her head. ¡°Do you usually bring girls to these places?¡±


    Si Jingyun curled his lips and casually sized her up. ¡°Are you jealous?¡±


    Lu Jinqi stared at him for a few seconds before averting her gaze.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not an overthinker like you.¡±


    Seeing her like this, Si Jingyun turned her body and half leaned in, his deep eyes looking at her seriously as though he wanted to say something. Then, she heard the man¡¯s pleasant voice, it was gentle and seductive, ¡°I¡¯ve only ever brought one person, and that¡¯s you.¡±


    Lu Jinqi turned her head unnaturally and replied with a low shrug.


    At that moment, a few people suddenly appeared from behind. When they saw the familiar man in front of them, their eyes widened.


    ¡®If I¡¯m not wrong, there¡¯s a girl beside Master Jing. They seem quite intimate.¡¯


    ¡°Master Jing, I didn¡¯t know you were bringing a child along?¡± A boy looked at the two of them and asked.


    Si Jingyun was not surprised to see them. When he heard that question, the corners of his lips curled up. ¡°She¡¯s with me.¡±


    Hearing this, the few of them understood what he meant and looked at Lu Jinqi curiously.


    When they looked at her, everyone sucked in a breath.


    The girl¡¯s eyes were beautiful, and there was not a single blemish on her beautiful face. The corners of her lips curled up in a casual arc.


    She stood there, bright and proud.


    The boy who spoke first scratched his head. ¡°Haha¡­ Master Jing¡­ Your child¡­ She¡¯s very¡­¡±


    As he spoke, he could not help but glance at her again. Did she successfully capture Master Jing¡¯s heart?


    Si Jingyun glanced at them coldly, and the few of them instantly averted their gazes.


    ¡°Since we¡¯re all here, why not go in together?¡±. Someone suggested.


    ¡°Go where?¡± A familiar voice sounded from behind.


    Lu Jinqi looked up and saw Qi Ye walking in.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°You¡¯re everywhere.¡±


    Qi Ye put his hands in his pockets and chuckled.


    ¡°Wherever there¡¯s fun, there¡¯s me. But why are you guys here?¡± As he spoke, his eyes darted around. ¡°Was this supposed to be a date?¡±

 Chapter 33 - Jinqi the Racer

    Chapter 33 Jinqi the Racer


    Lu Jinqi pursed her lips and looked at him with a faint smile. Her slender wrist moved slightly. ¡°Why, do you want to know?¡±


    When Qi Ye saw this, he thought of Lu Jinqi¡¯s ruthlessness this morning and felt his face ache.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to know.¡±


    The people beside him looked at Qi Ye in surprise. They sighed in their hearts. This was the first time they had seen Qi Ye act like this.


    Suddenly, a voice interrupted them.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a lively place. Oh, and Master Jing is here too?¡±


    They looked towards the source of the voice and saw a man in a suit with a woman in white beside him.


    Lu Jinqi glanced at him and sneered. He lowered his eyes when their gazes locked.


    When Qi Ye saw him, his face darkened and a mocking look appeared in his eyes.


    ¡°I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s the famous President Gu.¡±


    When the others heard this, they burst out laughing. There was nothing wrong with what Qi Ye had said, and yet.


    Everyone knew that Gu Zifeng drank, slept with others, gambled, and drank all kinds of things! He even had the audacity to compare himself with Master Jing. He was a truly shameless man.


    Gu Zifeng¡¯s face instantly turned ugly. He looked at him fiercely and said with a cold smirk.


    ¡°Qi Ye, you really are a good and loyal dog.¡±


    The crowd instantly fell silent. They sneaked a glance at the silent Si Jingyun, then at Qi Ye. When they realized that his expression had changed, they heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Brother, can pig¡¯s like that enter clubs like these as well?¡± Lu Jinqi asked nonchalantly, looking at someone beside her.


    When Si Jingyun heard this, he smiled and easily replied, ¡°No.¡±


    Lu jinqi hummed meaningfully and said, ¡°Then, where did such a pig come from?¡±


    Everyone present was smart enough to understand the underlying meaning beneath her words. It was obvious that she was mocking Gu Zifeng.


    When Gu Zifeng heard what she said, he looked over and was stunned by the girl¡¯s exquisite face. An evil thought flashed through his mind.


    ¡°Master Jing, your sister looks pretty good,¡± he said as she prepared to one up him.


    Then, everyone saw the very person who spoke fall onto the ground! Turning to look, they saw Lu Jinqi slowly retracting her legs. They could not help but look at each other. This girl had guts!


    Qi Ye chuckled softly and raised his hand to pat her twice.


    If she does not get along with someone, she would just do whatever she wishes. This was a very Lu Jinqi mode of communication.


    Si Jingyun slightly bent his fingers and knocked on the girl¡¯s head. Slowly, he said, ¡°Jinny, next time, let me do something too. I need a chance to show off as well, you know?¡±


    The man¡¯s hoarse voice sounded low, and inexplicably sexy. Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were raised, and the corners of her lips curled up.


    ¡°You were too slow.¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°So you¡¯re just doubting my ability, huh?¡±


    The last huh did not have any clear meaning, but it was extremely seductive.


    ¡°¡­ I didn¡¯t. Whatever.¡±


    Seeing the girl in front of him remain silent, Si Jingyun chuckled and stopped flirting with her.


    Gu Zifeng did not expect this to happen. He was helped up by the woman who followed him, and he stared at Lu Jinqi with a livid expression.


    His possessiveness was activated, and a dark look flashed across his eyes. He decided to only wait for the next time an opportunity arises.


    ¡°I heard that Master Jing has a piece of land in the south of the city. Do you want to bet on it?¡± Gu Zifeng looked at the man and asked.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Bet on what?¡±


    Gu Zifeng rolled his eyes from the menacing aura. ¡°The club has a racing track, so let¡¯s race. It¡¯ll be thrilling and exciting for the both of


    us.¡±


    Soon, the group arrived at the racing track.


    Gu Zifeng gave what he thought was the most charming smile he had. ¡°It¡¯s a total of three laps. Whoever completes the laps first wins.¡±


    Lu Jinqi scanned the entire venue. The roads were full of twists and turns, and the simulated mountain curves were even more treacherous. The owner of this club must have been an interesting human being to have thought about something like this. Qi Ye casually leaned against the railing, his voice slightly cold.


    ¡°Gu Zifeng, Master Jing is betting on the land, what about you?¡±


    Gu Zifeng shrugged nonchalantly and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything.¡±


    Si Jingyun looked at the girl and asked, ¡°Jinny, do you want to play?¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and looked over. She asked nonchalantly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll lose your land?¡±


    Immediately after, Si Jingyun¡¯s red lips curved into a loving and gentle smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a piece of land. As long as you get to have fun, I¡¯m okay with that.¡±


    Since he had already said that, Lu Jinqi nodded.


    Qi Ye and the others suddenly felt their teeth ache and unconsciously rubbed their faces.


    Gu Zifeng did not expect that Si Jingyun would use such an important competition to coax people. After all, the land in the south of the city was worth billions.


    He could not help but taunt them, ¡°Master Jing, are you sure you want a woman to compete with me?¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s clear and cold eyes were indifferent as he said in a cold tone, ¡°Jingshan Villa.¡±


    Suddenly, Gu Zifeng¡¯s expression faltered, but he quickly returned to normal. With a fake smile, he clapped his hands. ¡°As expected, you knew of the house I just got.¡± He looked around and took a deep breath. Then, he replied, ¡°Deal, let¡¯s start.¡±


    As he spoke, he walked to the side to choose a car for the race. Lu Jinqi, on the other hand, walked over slowly and randomly chose a white race car.


    Seeing this, Gu Zifeng sneered and said in a mocking tone, ¡°Kid, you don¡¯t even know how to choose a car. It¡¯s better for you admit defeat now.¡±


    Lu Jinqi opened the car door and casually placed her arm on the door. She raised the corners of her eyes and exuded a menacing demeanor. Her tone was extremely arrogant when she replied. ¡°This car should be enough to compete with someone like you.¡±


    Gu Zifeng snorted coldly and suddenly clenched his fists.


    ¡®You may look down on me now., but when you become my person, I¡¯ll see how arrogant you can be.¡¯


    Qi Ye looked over worriedly. ¡°Lu Jinqi, are you sure you can do it?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never driven this before,¡± Lu Jingi turned her head and said very honestly.


    She was not wrong. Her original body had never done so. As soon as she said this, Gu Zifeng burst into laughter. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll definitely get Master Jing¡¯s land.¡± Seeing that the two of them were in the car and getting ready, Qi Ye said, ¡°Why do I feel something like this has happened before?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the competition officially began.


    Everyone watched as the blue car rushed out, followed by the white car. Gu Zifeng looked at the car in the rearview mirror, his face full of pride. He stepped on the accelerator, thinking that he would be able to shake off Lu Jinqi, but he realized that the white car only followed closely behind his car.


    Other than Si Jingyun, who was calm and collected, the rest of the spectators could not help but worry. ¡°Is this she okay?¡±


    ¡°That looks a little risky.¡±


    At this moment, Qi Ye thought of something and looked at the calm man. ¡°Doesn¡¯t this scene feel like the one when we were in the shooting gallery?¡±


    ¡°What about the shooting gallery?¡± A few of them went over and asked curiously.


    Qi Ye slowly told them what had happened at the shooting gallery. All of a sudden, everyone¡¯s expressions changed. In that case, that meant that she had some tricks up her sleeves.


    On the field, Gu Zifeng looked at the car behind him that he could not shake off. Thinking that they were about to pass the first corner, he could not help but step on the gas.


    Lu Jinqi looked at the car speeding up in front of her and smiled. A sinister look appeared in her eyes.


    Outside the field, Qi Ye and the others saw the white car suddenly start to speed up. That speed directly surpassed Gu Zifeng¡¯s car and sped forward.


    The first turn was ahead. When everyone thought that Lu Jinqi would slow down, the car sped up instead.


    ¡°F*ck, what¡¯s she trying to do?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a shape as heck turn. If it doesn¡¯t end well, we¡¯ll need to go and help.¡± Qi Ye could not help but look at the man beside him. Seeing his natural expression, he asked, ¡°Master Jing, aren¡¯t you worried?¡±


    Si Jingyun looked at the white race car on the field. He clenched his hands tightly in his pocket and said calmly, ¡°I trust her.¡±


    Suddenly, a wave of exclamations sounded.


    His gaze was immediately attracted to the track. He saw Lu Jinqi driving the car to the bend. She sped up and completed a beautiful drift.


    The car drove steadily forward, leaving Gu Zifeng far behind.


    ¡°Damn, that was an insane drift.¡±


    ¡°As expected, she lied when she said she didn¡¯t know how to play.¡±

 Chapter 34 - Jinqis High Energy Outburst

    Chapter 34 Jinqi¡¯s High Energy Outburst


    When Gu Zifeng saw Lu Jinqi¡¯s perfect overtaking skill, he immediately understood what was going on. What this woman said just now about not knowing how to play was all a lie.


    At the thought of this, he clenched his fists and smashed the steering wheel repeatedly. Suddenly, he took out his phone and made a call. A fierce look appeared in his eyes.


    ¡°Stop her for me.¡±


    When the woman in white received the call, she was shocked. She looked at Si Jingyun in panic. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she forced herself to calm down and get into a black race car beside her.


    The noise from the engine made Qi Ye and the others look over. They saw the woman Gu Zifeng brought with him to the club get into the race track and go in the opposite direction.


    ¡°D*mn it, what does this woman want to do?¡± The hot-tempered man exploded on the spot. Without thinking, he wanted to get into a car and rush after her, but he was pulled by someone beside him. Si Jingyun looked at the car with a cold look in his eyes. His lips were pursed tightly at this moment, and his aura was getting more and more oppressive.


    Qi Ye, who was standing beside him, subconsciously moved to the side. His instincts told him that Master Jing was about to wreak havoc.


    On the field, Lu Jinqi casually glanced at the rearview mirror and sneered.


    At that moment, a black car suddenly appeared in her field of vision. It was speeding straight towards her, trying to stop her in her tracks. Seeing this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s lips curled into a mischievous smile. The corners of her eyebrow lifted slightly, and her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. She floored the accelerator pedal in anticipation.


    The white car sped forward, and it looked like the two cars were about to collide.


    When Qi Ye and the others saw this scene, their hearts were about to explode from their chests. They were afraid that something would really happen in the next second.


    The woman in white was sitting in the car, afraid. When she saw that the car did not stop but instead sped towards her, her face instantly turned pale.


    Then, just when everyone thought that they would collide, Lu Jingi steered the car and directly drove over the black roof. She landed steadily on the ground and drove away.


    This scene stunned everyone and they could not come back to their senses.


    After a long while, someone shouted, ¡°What the flying f*ck did she just do?! That was insane!¡±


    This sentence made everyone come back to their senses and they all agreed.


    Indeed, she was awesome. If she had not calculated everythingproperly, they would have been in the hospital by now.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze deepened as he stared at the white car. No one read his emotions.


    ¡°Master Jing, where did your sister pick up such skills? I want to learn how to do that too,¡± someone rubbed his hands together and asked with a cheeky smile.


    Si Jingyun heard him and coldly glanced at him, not saying a word.


    When the person beside him saw this, he hurriedly pulled him over and whispered, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that Master Jing¡¯s expression is off? Why are you pressing his buttons right now?¡±


    ¡°I just wanted to release the tension in the atmosphere,¡± the boy scratched his head and stole a glance from the corner of his eyes. Coincidentally, he met his boss¡¯s gaze and instantly quieted down.


    After three laps, Lu Jinqi¡¯s car stopped at the starting point. Gu Zifeng had just started the third lap and the winner had already been decided.


    Lu Jinqi walked towards the man casually. Her eyes were filled with arrogance as her red lips parted slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s better for you to keep than lose the land.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze was deep as he stared at her. A few seconds later, he could not help but sigh.


    He raised his hand and pinched her cheeks. His tone was irrefutable. ¡°Next time, I won¡¯t allow you to do something like this again.¡±


    Lu Jinqi knew what he meant, but when she saw how much that man had accumulated tension she could not help but laugh. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±


    S


    Si Jingyun saw the girl¡¯s smiling eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile. His deep voice was sexy and light as his shoulders relaxed.


    ¡°I was worried about the car. If you crashed it, I would¡¯ve had to bear the cost.¡±


    Lu Jinqi patted his hand and said calmly, ¡°I thank you on behalf of that car.¡±


    The few people on the side could not hold it in any longer. When they saw the two of them like this, they immediately surrounded them. ¡°Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Huai.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Chi Yan.¡±


    ¡°My name is Xiang Nian. Oh, and that¡¯s Ji Chen. What¡¯s yours?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s head hurt from the noise. Suppressing the emotions in her eyes, she said coldly, ¡°Lu Jingi.¡±


    Jiang Huai laughed out loud. ¡°Jinqi, your driving skills were amazing. When are you going to teach me to do something like that?¡±


    Hearing this, Ji Chen immediately pushed him away and came over. ¡°Jinqi, he¡¯s too st*pid to learn things. You can¡¯t teach him, but I¡¯m different. I¡¯m fast at learning everything.¡± ¡°F*ck you Ji Chen, you f*cking son of a b*tch! How dare you defame me!¡± Jiang Huai had just steadied himself. When he heard his friend¡¯s rude pleasantries, he instantly blew up.


    Then, Lu Jinqi saw the four boys start to fight with each other. She narrowed her eyes and smiled with interest.


    Gu Zifeng saw this scene the moment he got out of the car. The corners of his lips curled up as he gloated. ¡°Why are they fighting?¡±


    The four of them paused for a moment, then said in unison, ¡°None of your business.¡±


    Gu Zifeng¡¯s face instantly darkened, the veins on his forehead bulged. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a calm voice.


    ¡°Qi Ye, go get the keys to Jinghshan for me.¡±


    With that, Si Jingyun glanced at him and left with Lu Jinqi.


    At that moment, everyone was sitting in a private room, excitedly holding the menu and ordering food.


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, that Gu Zifeng from today was from the same family as the one you bullied last time in the other bar,¡± Qi Ye suddenly thought of something and said.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°I know.¡±


    Hearing this, Qi Ye¡¯s interest was piqued. He curiously posted, ¡°How did you know?¡±


    ¡°They have the same attributes.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s red lips curled up. ¡°They¡¯re all animals.¡±


    Qi Ye¡¯s face twitched. ¡®Your way of distinguishing people is quite unique¡­¡¯ Si Jingyun picked up the teapot and slowly poured a cup. He placed it in front of Lu Jinqi and said softly, ¡°Jinny, be civilized.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s hand that was about to grab the cup paused. ¡®Is this man a double standard dog?¡¯


    Chi Yan and the others were curious about who they were referring to as animals. As they thought about it, they could not help but approach Qi Ye and look at him with sparkling eyes.


    Qi Ye gave them a knowing look before continuing to explain the situation to them.


    After listening to the story, Chi Yan and the others were truly impressed by Lu Jinqi. She had single-handedly buillied Gu Yichen and won a house worth hundreds of millions from Gu Zifeng for Master Jing. She was impressive to say the least!


    ¡°I heard Kuang Jin say that his grandfather has been cured,¡± Xiang Nian said as he took a sip of alcohol.


    Qi Ye nodded. He had heard about it too. Kuang Jin had looked for so many experts but they were all useless. Suddenly, he had been cured.


    ¡°How was he cured? Didn¡¯t the doctors say that they couldn¡¯t do anything?¡± Chi Yan was confused.


    ¡°I heard that he placed an order to the Night Alliance. The person who took the order was called White Deer. She¡¯s a chinese doctor.¡±


    ¡°A chinese doctor?¡± Si Jingyun said slowly.


    Xiang Nian nodded and continued.


    ¡°Yes, Kuang Jin also said that this chinese doctor has a bad temper, but she¡¯s very young.¡±


    It was normal for her to have a bad temper, but it was not right for her to be very young! Si Jingyun had a doubtful look on his face as he considered whether Qi Ye¡¯s words were true or false.


    ¡°Get Qiao Mu to investigate on it,¡± Si Jingyun said casually.


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows when she heard that. Although she was the person in question, she still ate her food as though it had nothing to do with her.

 Chapter 35 - Jinqis Love Rival

    Chapter 35 Jinqi¡¯s Love Rival


    Speaking of the Devil, Lu Jinqi¡¯s phone suddenly rang


    She looked down and saw the number on it. Subconsciously, she turned her head and saw Si Jingyun looking at her calmly. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you picking up the call?¡± The man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His voice was calm and magnetic, as though he was baiting for a desired answer to come out. Lu Jinqi leaned against the back of the chair, her eyelids fluttered as she turned off her phone. ¡°It¡¯s just an unknown number.¡±


    Si Jingyun raised an eyebrow, his gaze was dark and unreadable. He then asked casually, ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Thinking about how similar situations had happened before, Si Jingyun unconsciously pursed his lips. Children sure had a lot of secrets.


    Lu Jinqi changed into a comfortable sitting position, her hands were placed on the table, lazily and willfully. Her beautiful face was slightly raised, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. ¡°Dear brother, you don¡¯t believe me?¡±


    ¡°When have I never? I¡¯ve believed everything you¡¯ve said.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s low and husky voice sounded in her ears, tinged with a bit of bewitchment.


    Jiang Huai and the others had been observing the situation this whole time. Seeing the two of them like this, they suddenly felt that their desire to eat was gone.


    As for Qi Ye, he had long come to a conclusion. If he followed the two of them out in the future, he would never be able to eat.


    After they finished their meals, Si Jingyun and Lu Jinqi silently returned to the Berling Manor.


    After entering the house, Lu Jinqi prepared to go upstairs as soon as possible. The main reason for her stopping was that a certain someone¡¯s expression looked dangerous.


    As she lifted her feet, she heard Si Jingyun say in a low voice, ¡°Jinny, come over here.¡±


    The man¡¯s voice was soft, but it carried a sense of oppression that could not be refuted. Lu Jinqi pinched the bridge of her nose helplessly. She slowly turned around and saw the man sitting on the sofa with his hands crossed. His posture looked noble and elegant. He looked like he was smiling, but it was not towards her.


    ¡°I have things to do, Jingyun,¡± Lu Jinqi leaned against the handrail of the stairs and casually replied.


    Si Jingyun narrowed his eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about today¡¯s flying car.¡±


    Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to talk about,¡± she said in a flat voice as she prepared to head upstairs. Si Jingyun saw her actions and frowned. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist, his gaze fixed on her. After a long while, he helplessly said, ¡°Jinny, if you made a mistake today, you¡¯d be in the hospital right now.¡±


    Lu Jinqi lowered her eyes and looked at the firm hand on her wrist. After a few seconds, she said faintly, ¡°I don¡¯t do things that I¡¯m not sure of.¡±


    For a moment, the two of them stared at each other in a deadlock. In the end, Si Jingyun gave in and raised his hand to pat Lu Jinqi¡¯s head. ¡°Jinny.¡± The man¡¯s voice traveled like a lover¡¯s whisper, both sexy and seductive.


    Lu Jinqi looked at him, her red lips curling up. ¡°I¡¯ll be careful next time.¡± Si Jingyun squeezed her hand, his smile finally reaching his eyes. ¡°You should go and rest.¡± Looking at her figure, Si Jingyun suppressed the irrationality in his heart and turned to leave.


    Early in the morning, Lu Jinqi made a call and coldly asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Kuang Jin, who had been holding onto his phone for the entire night, instantly stood up when he received the call. There was a hint of grievance in his voice.


    ¡°Why did you turn your phone off? Did you know that I¡¯ve been calling you for the entire night?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes were slightly puffy and filled with impatience. ¡°Get to the point.¡±


    Kuang Jin pursed his lips and thought to himself, ¡®Can¡¯t you at least pretend to be more friendly?¡¯


    more


    ¡°Well, my grandfather has woken up.¡± ¡°Oh, congratulations,¡± Lu Jinqi said in a concise manner.


    ¡°He wants to see you,¡± Kuang Jin thought about how his grandfather had pulled his ear and told him to invite White Deer after he recovered. The grandson was a little speechless that the old man wanted to thank her in person. White Deer had been paid to help him, so there was no need to thank her.


    Hearing this, Lu Jinqi refused. ¡°I don¡¯t have the time for that.¡±


    Kuang Jin looked at the phone that had been hung up on, and his shoulders drooped.


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows from the sound. Could it be Qi Ye?


    She walked over lazily to the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a girl in a white dress with gorgeous makeup on her face. The girl in white even did a hair flip when the door opened. However, Gu Ning did not expect it to be a girl to open the entrance. Her expression froze. When she saw the girl¡¯s face, she turned jealous. ¡°Who are you? Why is a girl like you doing in Master Jing¡¯s house?¡± She asked.


    Say


    Lu Jinqi leaned against the door lazily. She raised her eyebrows and asked calmly, ¡°What do you mean a girl like is doing in his house?¡±


    Gu Ning understood what she meant. Her face twisted for a second, then returned to normal. ¡°Master Jing doesn¡¯t like people like you.¡±


    She gave Lu Jinqi a onceover, and felt that she was right. So what if she was beautiful? She was just a piece of meat to be devoured. She was the daughter of the Gu family. She had both money and looks.


    Who would have thought that Lu Jinqi would reply with such contempt. Lu Jinqi tilted her head as she smiled faintly. ¡°Really? But last night, he said he liked people like me.¡±


    Hearing that, Gu Ning was furious. Her heart was filled with jealousy. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her.


    Neither of them noticed the figure at the stairs.


    Si Jingyun had just walked out of the room when he heard the doorbell. When he reached the stairs, he heard the girl¡¯s words. He stopped and could not help but laugh.


    He could not believe that Jinny dared to say something like that.


    Lu Jinqi grabbed onto the oncoming assault, her eyes were now filled with hostility. She was like a hunter who wanted to slowly make her prey suffer. She said slowly, ¡°You¡¯ve never seen his eight packs or his v-cut have you? He¡¯s so bold and powerful. You¡¯ll never get to experience his breath on you, ever.¡±


    Being held by her wrist, Gu Ning was so angry that she was trembling. ¡°You¡¯re shameless.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? Are you angry?¡± The emotion in Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes was unreadable. Her voice was as cold as ice. ¡°Don¡¯t come close to him again, or else.¡± She got closer to whisper in Gu Ning¡¯s ear, ¡°I¡¯ll destroy you.¡±


    Gu Ning shivered. A chill ran down her spine. She knew that this girl was not joking.


    Si Jingyun did not know what Lu Jinqi had said. However, from the looks of it, he could tel lthat Gu Ning was so scared that her face turned


    pale.


    At this moment, Gu Ning looked around. She shouted as if she had seen her savior. ¡°Master Jing, how dare she threaten me?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s back stiffened. She felt the movement behind her, then, she lowered her eyes. When did this man come? How much did he hear?


    Si Jingyun walked closer and saw the girl with her head lowered. He raised his eyebrows. ¡®Was she not being arrogant just now?¡¯ Gu Ning saw him coming over and quickly pleaded, ¡°Master Jing, do you know this girl you brought back? She has¡­¡± Before she could finish, she saw Si Jingyun looking at the girl in white expressionlessly. ¡°Get lost.¡±


    Gu Ning could not believe her ears. Her eyes were filled with tears. With a long wail, she turned around to be met with Qi Ye. She glared at him and continued to run away.


    Qi Ye did not expect to hear such shocking news this early in the morning. He was stunned.


    When he came back to his senses, he was met with two people staring at him.


    However, that was not important. What was important was that Master Jing was actually such a beast.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be like this, Master Jing.¡±


    Just as he finished speaking, he saw Si Jingyun pull Lu Jinqi over and close the door behind him.


    Qi Ye did not care about being locked outside. He held his phone and exposed the situation that had just happened to others in the WeChat group.


    Si Jingyun pressed his hands against the wall and trapped the girl in his arms. He said in a low voice, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to pay that much attention to me.¡±

 Chapter 36 - Im Not Thirsty

    Chapter 36 I¡¯m Not Thirsty


    Lu Jinqi leaned against the wall. When she heard this, she unnaturally coughed. ¡°It¡¯s just a misunderstanding.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s eyes flashed with a smile. His slender fingers scratched her chin as he said nonchalantly. ¡°Is that so? Then tell me, what kind of misunderstanding made you so thirsty for my body?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyelashes fluttered, and her hands that were hanging by her sides moved slightly.


    ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty.¡±


    The girl¡¯s voice was very soft, like a kitten¡¯s purr. When Si Jingyun heard this, his fingers caressed her face.


    ¡°Do you fantasize about me?¡±


    The man curved his thin red lips, his tone was lazy and playful. He could not help but tease her.


    II


    II


    Lu Jinqi felt his finger on her face. Each part he touched burned like fire, so she could not help but raise her hand to push it away.


    Si Jingyun saw that the girl was silent and slowly leaned closer. The distance between them was so close that it was possible for them to even kiss.


    Their breaths landed on each other¡¯s faces. Lu Jingi quietly looked at the man and saw the corner of his lips slowly curl up. Her heart trembled.


    As expected, the man tilted his head slightly and his lips pressed against her ear. Then, she heard the man¡¯s low and hoarse breathing slowly.


    ¡°Jinny, are you satisfied with this? Is it what you imagined it to be?¡±


    At that moment, Lu Jinqi¡¯s mind went blank. Her nose was filled with the man¡¯s pine fragrance, and her breathing turned erratic.


    Si Jingyun stood up and saw that she was in a daze. He raised his hand and knocked on her head. Lu Jinqi came back to her senses and finally registered his sentence. She pursed her lips and chuckled, ¡°Brother, keep up the good work!¡±


    Hearing that, Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze faltered. Her words were direct and ostentatious. She did not have any intention of hiding her need.


    ¡°For you, I¡¯d work as hard as you need me to.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised the ends of her eyes and curled her lips.


    She had met her match.


    Qi Ye walked in with something in his hands. He saw the two of them sitting on the sofa like they were mafia bosses. He did not know if he was thinking things, but he felt that the atmosphere had changed. ¡°Master Jing, this is the key and the certificate of transfer.¡±


    As he spoke, he handed the things in his hands over.


    Si Jingyun took it and hummed faintly before passing it to the person beside him.


    Seeing the things in front of her, Lu Jinqi narrowed her eyes but did not take it. ¡°Are you giving this to me?¡±


    Si Jingyun curled his lips. ¡°You won it, so it¡¯s yours.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes moved as she stared straight at him. The corners of her lips curved slightly.


    ¡°Compared to this, I prefer your Berling Manor.¡±


    The girl¡¯s cold voice had a hint of playfulness to it.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze froze, and he gave a low, indecipherable laugh. His lips curled up. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to not only lust after my body, but also my house.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jinqi saw Qi Ye¡¯s expression change immediately. His pupils dilated, and he looked stunned. She could not help but smile just as playfully. She did not know how to respond.


    Qi Ye was extremely shocked. He did not expect Master Jing to say such words, much less Jinqi to respond as such. Si Jingyun¡¯s pitch-black eyes stared straight at her. Suddenly, his thin lips curled up. ¡°Jinny, why aren¡¯t you speaking?¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyelids fluttered. She asked in return, ¡°What do you want me to say?¡± Her tone was light and her gaze was indifferent.


    Seeing this, Si Jingyun stopped teasing her and looked at the person standing at the side.


    ¡°Sell the house and give the money to Jinny.¡±


    Qi Ye nodded and took the things out.


    Lu Jinqi looked at the man calmly and said with a faint smile, ¡°Are you prepared for me to stay for the long run?¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun¡¯s throat bobbled and he laughed charmingly. ¡°Jinny, be careful of your dangerous mind.¡± Then, he stretched out his hand.


    Seeing the hand in front of her, she raised her eyebrows and looked over. What did this older man want from her?


    ¡°Give me your phone,¡± Si Jingyun said concisely.


    Lu Jinqi glanced at him, then threw the phone over.


    Si Jingyun unlocked the phone and saved his number and WeChat. His eyes were filled with satisfaction when the phone was back in her hand. Lu Jinqi opened it and looked at the contact list. There was an additional number named Big Brother. Even WeChat had it.


    Seeing the name on the phone, Lu Jinqi slowly smiled.


    ¡°What a proactive man.¡±


    Si Jingyun silently smiled, patted her head, and got up to leave.


    In the afternoon, in the Shengbai building.


    Lu Jinqi walked out of the shop with a bag of candy in her hand. Suddenly, her phone rang.


    Seeing the caller, the cold light and frustration in her eyes appeared.


    This family must be rushing to their deaths. Since they had so much free time to call her, they should give her a big gift first before spamming her.


    She hung up the phone, the corners of her lips curling up into a cold smile. She sent a few messages on her phone, then put it in her pocket, preparing to leave.


    Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. Lu Jinqi lowered her head and was met with a pair of innocent eyes of a five-year-old child.


    The boy¡¯s face was chubby, and his big black eyes stared at her without blinking. He was wearing a pair of overalls and a white long-sleeved shirt. In his hands were two balloons. He looked lively and cute.


    ¡°Pretty lady, this is for you.¡± Seeing that she finally noticed him, the boy grinned and passed the balloon in his hand over. Because he was short, it was indeed a little comical for him to stand on his tiptoe and give the balloon to her.


    Seeing him like this, the coldness in Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes faded, and her mood lifted.


    She bent her legs and squatted down, taking the balloon in front of her. There was a trace of disgust in her eyes.


    The boy saw her take the balloon and turned even happier. However, in less than a second, he saw her crush the balloon with one hand.


    The moment Lu Jinqi crushed the balloon, a smile finally appeared in her eyes. She curled her lips, wanting to tease the child.


    Who would have thought that the boy would stare at her with excitement. In the next second, he stuffed another balloon into her hands.


    ¡°Pretty lady, take this one too.¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s eyes twitched as she decisively crushed the balloon.


    Seeing that the two balloons were gone, the boy smiled even more happily. ¡°Pretty lady, the balloon¡¯s are gone.¡±


    Lu Jinqi nodded. ¡°So?¡±


    The boy rolled his eyes and his gaze fell on her hands. ¡°Since you bursted my balloons, you have to give me your candy.¡±


    Lu Jinqi heard this and paused for a moment. Then, her lips curled into a smile.


    Was this child blackmailing her now?


    With this thought in mind, Lu Jinqi stood up and held the boy¡¯s hand. She walked into the shop and patted his head. ¡°Go get it yourself.¡±


    The boy did care about anything else and directly ran towards the biggest stick of candy. ¡°I want this.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Even though Lu Jinqi asked, she still paid the bill.


    Seeing the boy eating the candy, Lu Jinqi found it a little funny. ¡°Alright, you should go home.¡±


    Hearing this, the boy suddenly felt that the candy in his hand was not sweet anymore. His head moved, and a cunning look appeared in his eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where home is. I¡¯ll follow you wherever you go, pretty lady.¡±


    As he finished his sentence, Lu Jinqi glanced at him, then swept her gaze across the people around her. She smiled, not intending to expose him.


    At that moment, her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that she had gotten a WeChat message from Jingyun, (Jinny, where are you?]


    Lu Jinqi replied with one hand, (Shengbai.)


    Then, she looked down at the boy she was holding with the other hand and added another sentence. (I picked up a child along the way.]


    In Si Corporation, Si Jingyun frowned when he saw the two messages on his phone.

 Chapter 37 - The Lu Family from Beijing

    Chapter 37 The Lu Family from Beijing


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Si Jingyun closed the documents in front of him and made a call.


    Lu Jinqi received his call and laughed. She raised her hand to rub the boy¡¯s hair and told him the whole story in a concise manner.


    When Si Jingyun heard this, a hint of a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a charming side.¡±


    He propped his head up and said with a smile.


    Lu Jinqi lazily led the boy to the car. Hearing what he said, a smile appeared.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a lot that you don¡¯t know about


    me.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s lips curled up and he smiled softly. ¡°Are there other things I should know about


    you?¡±


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s footsteps faltered and her beautiful eyes curved up. She said playfully, ¡°Where are you?¡± After that, the corners of her lips curled up as she continued, ¡°Are you in the company right now?¡±


    Si Jingyun stood up lazily, standing in front of the window, ¡°Why, do you want to come over?¡± Si Jingyun quickly added, ¡°I¡¯ll have Qi Ye wait for you downstairs.¡± Lu Jingi softly agreed, lowering her head to look at the boy. She did not get along with children.


    After hanging up, Lu Jinqi was about to bring the boy into the car when suddenly, a man walked over. ¡°Young master¡­¡± the man had just opened his mouth when he saw the cold look in the boy¡¯s eyes. He instantly shut his mouth.


    Lu Jinqi looked at him with interest. Seeing this, she raised her eyebrows slightly.


    It seemed that this little guy was more than meets the eye.


    The boy swept his gaze across his surroundings coldly, exuding a warning. The rest of them slowly stopped in their tracks. They did not know what to do. If the young master left with someone, how were they going to explain themselves?


    The boy did not care what they were thinking. He raised his head and smiled cutely. ¡°Pretty lady, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lu Jinqi looked at him, unfazed. Without saying anything, she drove away with him.


    The few men stayed where they were and watched the car drive further and further away. Their faces were filled with bitterness.


    Banyan City. ¡°CEO Song, something bad has happened. Our first project has gone wrong.¡± In the Song corporation building, a man with glasses spoke up. He held something in his hand and hurriedly pushed open the chairman¡¯s office anxiously when he spoke.


    When Song Zhilin heard this, he slammed the table and stood up. He frowned and said in a deep voice, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    The man met his gaze and shrunk his neck. He braced himself and said, ¡°Ten minutes ago, CEO Li¡¯s side reported something. He took away the funding. This means¡­¡± ¡°In other words, the project our two families are working on has been scrapped. At the same time, we might face the risk of being investigated,¡± Song Zhilin¡¯s face turned pale at the thought of this. After all, he had done a lot of tax evasion in the past few years. If he were to be investigated, everything would be over for him.


    However, what did he do to who to offend CEO Li for his funds to be taken away without warning


    Song Zhilin thought for a while, and a possibility flashed through his mind. When he finally thought of Lu Jinqi, his expression changed, and he shook his head.


    It could not be her. She had no connections with CEO Li, and she did not even have the ability to do so.


    The man saw the change in his expression, and he carefully said, ¡°CEO Song, what should we do now?¡±


    Hearing his voice, Song Zhilin immediately snapped back to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°Get out.¡±


    The man glanced at him before leaving quietly. After he left, Song Zhilin immediately made a phone call. ¡°Have you hidden the things I¡¯ve given you?¡± ¡°Yes, no one will know where they are,¡± the person on the other end answered affirmatively.


    Only after receiving a positive reply did Song Zhilin¡¯s heart relax. However, when he thought about the one billion dollars he had invested in, his face quickly turned sour.


    When Lu Jinqi reached Si Corporation with the little boy, Qi Ye was already waiting there.


    When he saw the two of them, Qi Ye smiled and walked forward. ¡°Ms Lu.¡±


    Lu jinqi replied with a faint nod and followed behind him.


    When the receptionist saw the CEO¡¯s personal assistant being so respectful, her eyes widened. She could not help but look at Lu Jinqi curiously. When she looked at her, her breathing slowed down a lot. The girl had a fair and delicate face, beautiful eyes, and red lips. She looked very relaxed, and she held onto a child¡¯s hand.


    She only came back to her senses when the three of them walked into the elevator. ¡®Could that be the CEO¡¯s girlfriend? She looks very pretty.¡¯


    ¡°Master Jing, I¡¯ll be heading down first,¡± Qi Ye said with a smile.


    Si Jingyun nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the two people beside him. Slowly, he said, ¡°Jinny, is this the child you picked up?¡±


    Lu Jinqi casually sat down on the sofa, her tone was filled with indifference. ¡°Yeah, what do you think? He¡¯s not bad, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    Si Jingyun did not reply, he just looked at the boy with an unreadable gaze. ¡®Jinny picked someone familiar.¡¯


    His tone was indifferent when he spoke up. ¡°Little brat, you¡¯ve become bolder recently.¡±


    The boy did not expect Lu Jinqi to know Si Jingyun. He could not help but be stunned when he heard the older man speak up. She was just a pretty lady he found.


    ¡°Hello, long time no see,¡± The boy climbed onto the sofa and said with a smile.


    Lu Jinqi looked at the two of them and raised her eyebrows. ¡°You two know each other?¡±


    Before Si Jingyun could say anything, the boy could not wait to introduce himself.


    ¡°Pretty lady, my name is Lu Zimo. You can also call me Momo.¡± Lu Jinqi¡¯s gaze deepened. His surname was Lu. She did not think that she and Lu were fated to be together. Of all the people she picked up on the streets, he had to be named Lu.


    Thinking back to those people with the surname Lu in her previous life, Lu Jinqi felt a little irritated, but her expression did not change.


    ¡°The Lu family from Beijing.¡±


    Lu Jingi¡¯s voice was faint and filled with affirmation.


    Si Jingyun had been watching her the entire time. Sensing that something was wrong with her mood, he walked over and patted her head.


    ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Lu Jinqi narrowed her eyes and shook her head.


    ¡°Pretty lady, what about you? What¡¯s your name?¡± Lu Zimo came over and asked with his googly eyes. ¡°Lu Jinni.¡±


    After she said that.


    Lu Zimo smiled happily. He had the same surname as this pretty lady. Seeing this, Si Jingyun made a call.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Lu Zimo?¡± Lu Yuchen got out of the car and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked coldly.


    A few men pushed and shoved each other. The last man with decent looks walked up and said softly, ¡°The young master left with someone.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Yuchen¡¯s eyebrows almost reached his hairline. Looking at their expressions, he knew that they could not stop the child from leaving.


    ¡°Who did he go with? Why didn¡¯t you follow him?¡±


    The man thought for a moment before his face turned red. ¡°He went with a very good-looking girl. Young master didn¡¯t allow us to follow suit.¡±


    Lu Yuchen pressed his forehead, suppressing the anger in his heart. That brat really deserved to be taught a lesson. Suddenly, his phone rang. When he saw the caller, surprise flashed across his eyes. ¡°Master Jing.¡±


    Si Jingyun glanced at the boy who was pestering Lu Jinqi and said coldly, ¡°Come and take your brat back.¡±


    When he said that, Lu Zimo pouted. He puffed up his chubby face and called out, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back. I want to hang out with this pretty lady.¡±


    His voice traveled from the phone to Lu Yuchen¡¯s ears. He could not help but wonder who the pretty lady he was referring to was.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right there,¡± he said before hanging up.


    Lu Jinqi lowered her eyes and stood up. ¡°I have something to do. I¡¯ll leave him to you.¡± Si Jingyun watched her leave and could not help but think. Ever since Jinny heard the little devil speak, her mood started to change.


    ¡°Devil child, do you know who she is?¡±

 Chapter 38 - Suspicious, Jinqi is Being Followeda

    Chapter 38 Suspicious, Jinqi is Being Followeda


    Lu Zimo thought for a moment and shook his head. ¡°No, I only met her today. Why?¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze froze. This was strange. Downstairs, Lu Yuchen had just entered the main door when he brushed past Lu Jinqi. He was stunned when he caught a glimpse of her stunning features.


    This person¡¯s eyes and brows were similar to his. When he turned around to stop Lu Jinqi, he only saw her retreating back. Suppressing the suspicion in his heart, Lu Yuchen went straight to the top floor. When he opened the door, he saw the brat sitting on the sofa, leisurely playing with his phone.


    ¡°Lu Zimo, you¡¯re in trouble young man.¡±


    He walked over and a dangerous voice sounded.


    When Lu Zimo heard a familiar voice, his body trembled. He hurriedly climbed down and raised his head to smile.


    ¡°Hi, you came quick.¡±


    Lu Yuchen was unmoved by his smile. He narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Is that so? Tell me, how did you leave with someone?¡±


    At the mention of this, Si Jingyun, who was sitting at the side, interrupted, ¡°You¡¯re a cheater.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zimo saw his big brother¡¯s face turn black. He could not help but accuse Si Jingyun in his heart for doing this.


    How could Jingyun say that?


    Lu Zimo was being kind! Lu Zimo cried out when he saw Lu Yuchen suddenly raise his hand. His voice filled with childishness, ¡°If you hit me, I¡¯ll tell Mother.¡±


    The answer to this struck a chord in his heart. Lu Yuchen smiled when he saw that the little kids eyes began to fill with tears. This kid was like this every time something happened to him.


    ¡°Are you still going to do it next time?¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t. Brother, let go of me, please,¡± Lu Zimo said as he sniffed.


    Lu Yuchen looked at him strangely when he let go of him. He did not even mention the pretty lady he saw.


    ¡°Where¡¯s this pretty lady you were talking about?¡±


    Lu Zimo glared at him when he heard this. If it was not for his brother coming, the pretty lady would not have left.


    ¡°You scared her away.¡±


    The girl he saw downstairs flashed across Lu Yuchen¡¯s mind. Could she be the pretty lady that this brat was talking about?


    Thinking of this, he could not help but ask, ¡°Master Jing, do you have a photo of that girl?¡± Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows and looked over. This did not seem like something that Yu Chen would say.


    His tone was unhurried. ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°I saw a girl downstairs who looked very similar to my mother. You know, my sister was taken away when she was born.¡±


    Lu Yuchen¡¯s face darkened when he brought up this topic. 17 years ago, his mother gave birth to a baby girl in the hospital. Just when everyone was happily celebrating, the baby girl was suddenly taken away and disappeared forever.


    For so many years, he had been investigating the incident, but he still could not find the baby girl.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze paused when he heard that. The fact that the Lu family¡¯s daughter was taken away was not a secret in the capital. When he thought about how Lu Jinqi was adopted, all of this piques his interest.


    ¡°There are no photos.¡±


    Si Jingyun suppressed the emotions in his eyes and said calmly.


    Disappointment flashed across Lu Yuchen¡¯s eyes, and his heart felt empty.


    There was a knock on the door, and Qi Ye received an answer to come in. He pushed the door open and entered. When he saw that Lu Yuchen was also there, he was not surprised.


    ¡°Master Jing, Qiao Mu sent news that White Deer appeared in the Night Alliance place a few days ago. Master Kuang¡¯s words were right. This White Deer is a very young woman. There should be someone supporting her.¡±


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun laughed lightly. This was interesting


    J and White Deer. Both of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There was quite a big connection behind this.


    Lu Yuchen¡¯s eyes were filled with a faint smile. ¡°She¡¯s so mysterious. It¡¯s only natural that she would reject Kuang¡¯s grandfathers wishes.¡±


    Qi Ye thought for a moment and voiced out his thoughts.


    ¡°Master Si, I think the people helping White Deer should be those from the M.K. website, but the most likely one should be J.¡±


    Si Jingyun lazily said one word, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Lu Yuchen stood up and said to the person on the sofa, ¡°Okay you brat, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lu Zimo locked his phone and obediently followed behind. Suddenly, he turned his head and smiled at Si Jingyun, shaking his phone.


    Seeing the two of them leave, Si Jingyun opened his phone and saw the message on it. He sneered.


    [Brother Jingyun, can you send me the pretty lady¡¯s number?]


    Lu Zimo sat in the car and stared at his phone without moving. He just had not received a reply.


    Could it be that Jingyun did not understand what he meant? If he had known earlier, he would have asked directly. His eyes were filled with annoyance and his small mouth pouted. Lu Yuchen, who saw this from the side, patted his head in amusement. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t get the pretty lady¡¯s contact information.¡± Lu Zimo sat down with his head resting on his hands, looking rather depressed.


    Lu Yuchen¡¯s lips curled up unconsciously as he asked with a smile, ¡°Do you like her that much?¡±


    This was the first time he had seen his younger brother like a girl so much.


    Lu Zimo nodded silently. ¡°Yes, she and I are fated to be together. Her surname is also Lu.¡±


    Lu Yuchen was stunned when he heard this. Then, he stared at Lu Zimo. ¡°You said her surname is Lu.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    Lu Yuchen suddenly had a myriad of thoughts. Was fate real?


    As soon as Lu Jinqi left the building, someone quickly reported to Gu Zifeng. ¡°She¡¯s out.¡±


    Gu Zifeng had a cigarette in his hand. He took a puff and said coldly, ¡°Follow her.¡±


    Lu Jinqi drove the car away. When she saw a car in the rearview mirror tailing her, her eyes turned cold and she sneered.


    She knew that someone was following her, but she had been in too good of a mood at that time. Now, thinking about it, her eyes turned even colder.


    She changed the direction of the path and drove straight away.


    The people in the car behind saw where she was going and laughed, ¡°This woman is so st*pid. That direction is to the suburbs of Beijing. It¡¯ll be easy for us to corner her.¡±


    Gu Zifeng sat in the back seat. He remembered what Gu Ning had said in the morning. Her eyes were filled with tears. Since Si Jingyun had used her, he would repay the debt.


    The car drove all the way to the suburbs. Finally, it stopped at an abandoned parking lot.


    Lu Jinqi got out of the car. Her eyes were bloodshot red. She looked at the eight men with iron bars and licked her lips wickedly.


    ¡°Miss, our young master wants to play with you,¡± one of the men said in a frivolous tone.


    ¡°Sure, how do you want to play?¡± Lu Jingi stretched her wrist and walked forward step by step.


    Then, before the man could react, she grabbed the iron rod closeby and swung it at him. ¡°Is that how you want to play?¡± The man was caught off guard and for a moment, he felt the pain surge all over his body.


    The rest of them stared blankly at the sudden turn of events. When they came back to their senses, they rushed forward.


    Many iron rods swung through the air and ruthlessly swept past Lu Jinqi.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s footsteps were nimble, and she moved back. The rod hit someone else¡¯s back, and at that moment, everyone heard the sound of bones cracking.


    The remaining six people could not help but be shocked. They were terrified, but when they thought about the money, they still rushed forward.


    Lu Jinqi¡¯s face was cold, and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness. She dodged with ease, the iron rod in her hand landing perfectly on their bodies every time.


    Five minutes later, all the men could no longer get up. They lay on the ground moaning with bruises all over their faces.


    In the car, Gu Zifeng¡¯s face was pale. He did not think that these people would fail to defeat a petite girl. He immediately thought of driving away.


    However, just as he started the car, he saw an iron rod flying straight towards him. It scared him so much that he hurriedly got out of the car. Then, he heard the crisp sound of glass shattering


    ¡°Lu Jinqi, what do you want?¡±


    Gu Zifeng looked at this scene with a trembling heart. If he had not gotten out of the car, the glass would have scratched his body. Knowing this, he looked at Jinqi with fear in his eyes.

 Chapter 39 - Jinqi is Going to Jail

    Chapter 39 Jinqi is Going to Jail


    ¡°What do you think I want?¡±


    Lu Jinqi picked up an iron rod and walked towards him, step by step.


    Seeing this, Gu Zifeng shouted, ¡°If you dare to touch me, you¡¯re dead meat.¡± In response, the iron rod hit his body hard, causing his face to contort.


    Lu Jinqi tilted her head, she still felt that it was not enough. So, she swung the rod again and knocked him to the ground. In the end, she squatted down and poked his face with the iron rod.


    She smiled faintly, ¡°Do you still want to play?¡±.


    Gu Zifeng felt that his internal organs were in pain. He looked up slowly with hatred in his eyes.


    ¡°The Gu family won¡¯t let this go.¡±


    Hearing that, Lu Jinqi sneered. She playfully replied, ¡°The Gu family keeps wanting to get close to me. Are you guys for real?¡±


    Gu Zifeng was confused. She thought she was referring to Gu Ning.


    ¡°What? Gu Yichen didn¡¯t tell you what happened to him?¡± Lu Jinqi said with interest, but her eyes were cold.


    Suddenly, Gu Zifeng remembered what Gu Yichen had said not long ago. His men had been beaten up by a woman, and he himself had almost been beaten up. This woman was Lu Jinqi.


    Seeing this expression, Lu jinqi raised her eyebrows in defiance. She was filled with bouts of hatred for this man ruining her day. ¡°It seems like you remember now.¡±


    Gu Zifeng clenched one of his hands tightly, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. With the other hand, he took out his phone and prepared to call the police.


    Seeing this, Lu Jinqi chuckled. ¡°No need for you to go through all this trouble, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± As she spoke, she decisively called the police in front of them.


    The police arrived very quickly. Seeing the scattered metal rods and moaning men, they quickly sent people to send them to the hospital, while Lu Jinqi was brought back to the police station.


    ¡°Did you call the police? Tell me what happened.¡±


    The two police officers sat opposite her and asked.


    Lu Jinqi sat comfortable, as though this was not the police station. She looked like the man questioning her and replied, ¡°Yes, I called the police. They wanted to beat me up, but I could only defend myself.¡±


    Hearing her words, the two police officers¡¯ lips twitched. This was the first time they had seen someone take the initiative to call the police after beating someone up. However, they also looked at the surveillance footage. Those people were indeed targeting the girl, but they did not expect the girl¡¯s combat ability to be off the charts. She looked like she easily beaten them up.


    Thinking of the results of the examination that had just been sent over, the two of them looked at each other. This self-defense skill that the girl possessed was almost fatal. ¡°Do you know how serious those people¡¯s injuries are?¡±


    Lu Jinqi crossed her legs and crossed her hands. She rolled her eyes and looked at the two of them.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that deadly.¡±


    The two police officers were angered by her words and laughed. ¡®Not deadly?¡¯


    At that moment, a middle-aged woman with curly hair walked in, followed by the deputy chief.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the girl who beat up my son?¡± When the police officers saw Chief Zhang walk in with a woman, they knew that this person¡¯s identity was not ordinary. They could not help but worry for the girl.


    Lu Jinqi saw the woman and immediately knew who she was. She clicked her tongue. ¡°Here.¡±


    The woman looked towards the voice and was shocked by the girl¡¯s face. Then, her face was filled with disgust.


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who hit my son. You should arrest someone like her, Chief Zhang.¡±


    The woman glanced at her and said coldly to the man behind her.


    ¡°What you said makes sense,¡± Chief Zhang smiled apologetically and nodded repeatedly at the woman¡¯s suggestion.


    When the two policemen who were interrogating Lu Jinqi heard this, they looked at Chief Zhang in disbelief and defended her.


    ¡°Chief Zhang, according to the surveillance footage, Gu Zifeng led people to follow her and then tried to molest her. That¡¯s why she defended herself.¡±


    When the policeman said this, he could not help but glance at Lu Jinqi worriedly. If this girl did not have the ability to protect herself, the different outcome would have led to worse things


    When the woman heard this, she was instantly filled with anger. ¡°How could she be worthy? With my son¡¯s status, there are all kinds of girls after him. I suspect that she deliberately seduced my son¡­¡±


    Before she could finish her sentence, she was kicked to the ground by Lu Jinqi.


    Everyone saw the insolence in her eyes. The corners of her lips curled into a cold smile as she said to the woman, ¡°I don¡¯t think you want to experience the consequences of spouting nonsense like that.¡± Then, she continued, ¡°Your son¡¯s ugly look is not even worth a glance.¡±


    The meaning in her words was self-evident.


    Hearing her words, a few policemen at the side lowered their heads to stifle their laughter.


    ¡°Chief Zhang, she even hit someone at the police station. I hope you can give me an answer to this matter.¡±


    The woman got up and gritted her teeth as she stared at her.


    Chief Zhang did not expect such a thing to happen. His face instantly darkened, and he immediately agreed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let this kind of person off.¡±


    Chi Yan was originally here to pick up his cousin who was racing on the street when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Following the voice, he saw Lu Jinqi kicking someone arrogantly. He exclaimed in his heart in admiration.


    When he heard the woman¡¯s voice behind him, he narrowed his eyes. ¡®Oh no, isn¡¯t she park of the Gu family?¡¯


    He saw what went on and immediately called Si Jingyun.


    The moment the call connected, he could not hold it in. ¡°Master Jing, Jinqi is in the police center. Come quickly.¡±


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze turned cold when he heard the news. He tightened his grip on the phone. ¡°Watch her closely.¡±


    .


    After hanging up, Chi Yan walked over and pretended to be surprised.


    ¡°Jinqi, why are you here?¡±


    His voice suddenly rang out, and everyone¡¯s eyes fell on him. When they saw him, the woman frowned. Chi Yan knew this lady.


    Chief Zhang felt his vision darken. He could not afford to offend the Chi family as well.


    When Lu Jinqi saw him, she raised an eyebrow. ¡°I beat up a b*stard. Care for a cup of tea?¡±


    Chi Yan staggered. How could you make a fight sound so justified?


    The middle-aged woman could not hold it in any longer and shouted angrily, ¡°Chief Zhang, I want this on her record and for her to be locked up.¡±


    Chief Zhang wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Chi Yan. He was instantly caught in a dilemma. ¡°Mrs. Gu, you plan on ruining her life? Have you thought about the consequences of that?¡± Chi Yan said slowly.


    Then, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment. Could it be that this girl had some sort of conglomerate background? However, when she thought about her family¡¯s cooperation with the higher-ups, her eyes became arrogant again.


    ¡°What consequences could there be? Chief Zhang, why aren¡¯t you doing anything?¡±


    Chief Zhang waved his hand and ordered the two of them to handcuff Lu Jinqi.


    Chi Yan shrugged in response. ¡®Well I¡¯ve already reminded them that the Gu family will be courting death if they do this.¡¯


    ¡°S-stop,¡± the middle-aged man said breathlessly, sweat dripping down his face.


    Luckily, they made it in time. If Master Jing came and saw them handcuffing her, there would be no way to end this.


    Chief Zhang¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw the man that just entered, and he hurriedly went forward. ¡°CEO Li, what are you doing here?¡±


    Jingyun glared at him fiercely, then went straight forward and smiled at Lu Jinqi. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for being late, Ms Lu. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    Lu Jinqi raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. ¡°What if I do mind?¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll make sure whoever is annoying you will be dealt with.¡±


    A deep voice filled with coldness rang out. The middle-aged woman¡¯s eyes instantly widened, her body stiffened, and her face gradually turned ugly.


    When Chi Yan heard this voice, he whistled.


    Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a man wearing a black coat walking towards them with slender steps. With each step, the pressure around heightened. When they saw who it was, two of them widened their eyes in shock. The middle-aged woman¡¯s face turned white in an instant, while Chief Zhang¡¯s body started to tremble.


    It was Si Jingyun!


    Lu Jinqi looked at him and paused for a moment. The man¡¯s usually unfocused black eyes were filled with hostility and unreadable emotions. His thin lips were tightly pursed in frustration.


    Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze swept over those people indifferently, with a terrifying aggressiveness.

 Chapter 40 - Angry Jingyun, Troubled Gu Family

    Chapter 40 Angry Jingyun, Troubled Gu Family


    Si Jingyun looked at her, the emotions in his eyes surging. In the end, he calmed down and said in a low voice. ¡°Jinny, are you hurt?¡±


    Lu Jinqi curtly said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    When the middle-aged woman heard him call her so intimately, she became anxious.


    Even though the Gu family had collaborated with the higher-ups, they could not be compared to the Si family at all. If Master Jing were to pursue this matter, the consequences would not be something she could bear. At the thought of this, the woman¡¯s entire body quivered and she opened her mouth in a panic. ¡°Master Jing, this is all a misunderstanding.¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Yan crossed his arms and gloated over her misfortune. There was a hint of coldness in his tone when he spoke. ¡°Mrs. Gu did not say that it was a misunderstanding. She wanted all this to be on record. Let me think, what else did she say¡­¡±


    As he said this, he even rubbed his chin as if it was a matter of fact and then dragged out his voice. ¡°You even wanted her to be locked up.¡±


    Then, laughter rang out one after another. Everyone was really relieved to see this scene.


    Si Jingyun suddenly chuckled and said in a deep voice, ¡°Leave a record and send her to jail? Who do you think you are?¡±


    The man¡¯s eyes were undoubtedly fierce, and his whole demeanor was terrifying.


    Chief Liu felt a chill behind his back and quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master Jing, that¡¯s all she said.¡±


    The middle-aged woman was furious after hearing what he said, but she did not dare to lose her temper. ¡®If I let this girl go, then my son¡¯s injury wouldn¡¯t have been in vain.¡¯


    Chi Yan could tell what she was thinking at a glance. Recalling what she had just learned, she spoke coldly. ¡°Master Jing, this Gu Zifeng is really something. I heard that this guy brought seven or eight men to go after Jinqi today. In the end, Jinqi beat them up all by herself.¡±


    ¡°Chi Yan, do you really have to go against us?¡± The middle-aged woman roared. Her eyes were fixed on him, and it was filled with hatred.


    Hearing this, Chi Yan spread his hands and dared not care about her words at all.


    So what if she went against them? The Gu family had to have the ability to deal with the Chi family in the future to go against them.


    ¡°Where is he?¡± Si Jingyun¡¯s expression was indifferent and his eyes were cold.


    ¡°He¡¯s lying in the hospital right now. The results showed that three of his ribs were broken.¡±


    Chi Yan flipped through the results that the police had just handed to him. ¡®D*mn, a few of them had either broken ribs, broken arms, or cracked spines.¡¯


    Judging from the situation, they would have to lie in bed for a while to recuperate.


    Jinqi was too ruthless. She did not seem like someone who could beat them to a pulp like this.


    Lu Jinqi sat down on a chair. She crossed one leg and played her game leisurely on her phone while they spoke. When she heard Chi Yan¡¯s voice, she paused for a moment. Her eyes showed nothing but annoyingness, and the corner of her lips curled up. There was a hint of wickedness in her.


    She said casually, ¡°I didn¡¯t know I was being that harsh, I tried to be gentle with them.¡±


    Chi Yan and the other policemen¡¯s faces twitched. Why did she sound like she fought them out of pity?


    ¡°Since he¡¯s not dead, let Qi Ye bring him out.¡±


    Si Jingyun tilted his head slightly, his gaze cold.


    Chi Yan made a hand gesture and called Qi Ye on the spot, asking him to bring all those people back to the hospital.


    The middle-aged woman couldn¡¯t care less anymore and said recklessly, ¡°Master Jing, you can¡¯t take Zifeng away. You¡¯re breaking the law. I can sue you for it.¡±


    Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows and clicked his neck. ¡°You can try.¡±


    His voice was soft, cold, and arrogant.


    Then, Si Jingyun looked at the girl sitting down and said calmly, ¡°Jinny, let¡¯s go home.¡±


    Lu Jinqi replied with a nod and walked over to him.


    Seeing her come closer to him, Jingyun heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he saw Chi Yan looking at him with a smile.


    ¡°Is there anything else I need to know?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. Everything is up to that person.¡±


    Chi Yan pointed at the man who was pretending to be dead and said indifferently.


    Chief Zhang almost wanted to dig himself into a hole when he was suddenly called out. If he did not have ties with the Gu family, he would not have appeared today.


    Now that Master Jing knew about what happened, his official position would come to an end.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard Director Liu¡¯s voice. ¡°Chief Zhang, you can leave and never come back!¡±


    Back in the car, neither of them spoke. Si Jingyun turned his head and saw the girl with her head lowered. No one knew what she was thinking.


    ¡°Looks like the one with boundless charm should be you, Jinny.¡±


    In the end, Si Jingyun broke the silence. He raised his eyebrows. His cold eyes were now tinged with a faint smile, and his lips curled up slightly.


    Lu Jinqi raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes. She suddenly chuckled in her heart. This man remembered their conversations.


    ¡°I can¡¯t compare to you, obviously.¡±


    Her voice was filled with impish intent.


    Hearing this, Si Jingyun¡¯s gaze froze for a few seconds. In the end, he let out a low laugh and asked the car to leave.


    Very soon, they arrived at the Berling Manor. Si Jingyun nodded his head and his alluring voice was very soft and hoarse.


    ¡°Jinny, you go in first. I still have something to


    do.¡±


    Because of this, Lu Jinqi¡¯s beautiful eyes narrowed. She knew what this man was planning to do, but she did not expose him. She just opened the door and got out of the car.


    Qi Ye saw Si Jingyun enter and said, ¡°I¡¯ve brought them all back.¡± Si Jingyun nodded. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were cold and distant.


    ¡°Let the rest of them go. It¡¯s time to get down to business.¡±


    Qi Ye understood what he meant, and excitement flashed in his eyes. He secretly rubbed his hands and nodded as he left.


    This time, the Gu family was doomed.


    Si Jingyun looked at the man lying on the ground and stepped hard on him.


    His eyes were cold, and his feet did not stop moving. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°You want to touch Jinny, huh?¡±


    Gu Zifeng subconsciously clenched his fists. The pain all over his body made him want to faint.


    ¡°Si¡­ Jing¡­ Yun¡­ You¡­ Let go of me!¡± He even struggled to speak and jumped out word by word.


    Si Jingyun raised his foot and gave a cold hard kick. His cold voice echoed in the vast space.


    ¡°You should be glad that Jinny was not injured today.¡±


    Gu Zifeng¡¯s body stiffened and he raised his head.


    ¡°The Gu family does not deserve this treatment.¡±


    Gu Zifeng fell to the ground. Hearing his words, a chill ran down his spine. Si Jingyun wanted to destroy the Gu family for harming his woman.


    The middle-aged woman returned to the Gu family with a pale face and sat on the sofa shakily.


    Seeing her like this, the servant was a little worried but dared not to go forward.


    Gu Linhai saw her like this when he came back. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and asked impatiently, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The moment the woman saw him, it was as if the dam had been opened. She grabbed his arm and began to cry.


    ¡°Linhai, what should we do? Master Jing took Zifeng away.¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, the man replied in a deep voice, ¡°What did you say? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The woman¡¯s eyes evaded his gaze for a moment. When she saw the man¡¯s expression, she stammered out everything.


    After hearing that, Gu Linhai slapped her hard in the face.


    ¡°It¡¯s all because of you. You¡¯re all useless.¡±


    He said coldly and left in a hurry.


    With Master Jing¡¯s personality, there was no room for negotiation. Fortunately, he had signed the project with the higher-ups during this period of time.


    As he was rejoicing, the phone rang. He had a bad premonition.


    As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end said in a panic, ¡°CEO Gu, something is not right. The higher-ups just announced that the project has been suspended.¡±


    Gu Linhai¡¯s vision went dark. He held the phone tightly and said in disbelief. ¡°Why was it suddenly suspended?¡± The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Finally, he said, ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with this project. They said that it involves bribery and money laundering.¡±


    After saying that, Gu Linhai¡¯s mind went blank, and his phone fell to the ground.


    It was over. The Gu family¡¯s liquid funds and all of their shares had been invested in it, and now they were all gone.


    Suddenly, a person appeared in Gu Linhai¡¯s mind. ¡°Master Jing, Master Jing must be involved in this matter.¡±
