"Boss, Zhou Yancheng sent another email, talking to you about checking the surveillance footage..." Du Huimin said.
The little girl stared at the screen and said, "What's the use of checking the surveillance footage? Mixed-race people would definitely avoid surveillance if they did that kind of thing. How could they give you a chance to find something on them?"
"Okay." Du Huimin replied to the email, rejecting Zhou Yancheng's request, but thought that Zhou Yancheng would not give up until he got what he wanted, and would probably continue to send emails later.
She asked, "Should we tell him who you are, so he won't keep bothering us?"
“Just tell him we’re from the main family. If he still doesn’t understand… then go find Zhou Minhao, yes, dump the problem on him.”
The little girl won another game, then stretched and started eating the crème brûlée and Black Forest cake that were placed next to her computer desk.
Suddenly, a 'snake' slithered in.
It's not a real snake, but a Word of Power Serpent; it can be used for exploration and for transmitting information.
Depending on each person's strength, the range of the Word of Power Serpent also varies. For example, Ye Sheng's serpent has a radius of only five kilometers, while Professor Manstein's serpent has a radius three times that of Ye Sheng.
The master who controlled this snake possessed a power of words ten times greater than Ye Sheng's.
The snake crawled onto the little girl's shoulder and whispered in her ear for a while.
"So it was that kid from the Lü family who did it. He didn't even report his arrival in Shanghai, and now he's been beaten up and someone has to pay for his medical bills... He deserves it."
The young girl said to Du Huimin, "You should publicly announce and criticize the Lü family by name, then have them come to Shanghai to pick up their son. Make two demands: first, that kid should be confined to his home for five years; second, he should be locked up here with me for three years. Let them choose. Also, if there's a next time, I'll castrate him to cure him permanently!"
The little girl's face was as lovely as a porcelain doll, and her voice was clear and crisp, yet her words carried weight, like the golden words of a king.
"Yes." Du Huimin sent a message in the QQ group, specifically criticizing the Lü family and stating the boss's conditions.
A while later, the Lü family sent an apology message and a letter of self-criticism in the QQ group.
"Boss, they're going to take Lü Yongbin home and confine him to his house, making sure he doesn't leave for five years."
"Yes." The little girl opened another page and started playing QQ Tang battles.
A new message came from the QQ group. After reading it, Du Huimin relayed it: "Boss, the Lü family hopes you can mediate. They can't come up with five million US dollars to compensate Miss Zhang."
"Huh?" The little girl's fair face froze for a moment. "Zhang Wanjun isn't greedy, and how could she be so insensible as to ask the Lü family for five million US dollars?"
The Lü family, among the prominent families, had very few businesses and was a semi-reclusive family with little contact with the outside world.
Five million US dollars is their net income over ten years.
Du Huimin said, "I don't know either."
After she said she didn't know, she waited to the side.
After waiting for a long time, another 'snake' came and lay on the little girl's shoulder.
"The Zhang Wanjun you saw was different from usual? Could she be an imposter? Who would impersonate that girl?"
The little girl is talking to the snake's owner.
She said, "You mean, Zhang Wanjun's aura is somewhat similar to Gu Ran's? So Gu Ran used disguise to impersonate Zhang Wanjun and give the Lü family a warning... Interesting."
"You still want me to say a few nice words for you? Because you only had people protect Su Xiaoqiang and didn't protect Liu Miaomiao in time, and you're afraid Gu Ran will come after you... He's too strong, he smashed a concrete floor with one punch... Who told you to be unreliable? Go and reflect on your actions!"
After the little girl finished talking to the snake's owner, she said to Du Huimin:
"You...go contact Zhang Wanjun and ask her to plead with Gu Ran. Five million US dollars is too much. If the Lü family can't afford it, then one million RMB will do. Also, have the Lü family pay another one million RMB to the other victim. Make them come up with a better excuse to make sure the damage is done."
“Okay.” Du Huimin quickly went to make the contact.
At the same time, she was secretly shocked, not expecting that the young man named Gu Ran to be even more capable than she had imagined.
No wonder the boss gave him that special membership card.
"The Lü family agrees with your decision." After a while, Du Huimin reported back to the girl, "Zhang Wanjun said she will come to Shanghai tomorrow."
"Row."
Next, Du Huimin talked about some business matters, such as someone wanting to buy dragon bones or dragon blood.
In ancient times, the throne was in the west and the battlefield was in the east. Therefore, the great eastern country had many fallen dragon bones and dragon blood, which were valuable to hybrids and were also hard currency in the underworld.
The young girl was playing video games while simultaneously conducting business worth tens of millions of dollars.
"We can't sell too much of things like dragon bones, blood, and flesh. We'll continue to reduce sales next year. We'll only sell a small amount to people we know well, and we won't sell to anyone else. We need to keep more of these for ourselves," the girl said.
"Yes." Du Huimin quickly wrote it down.
There's nothing else to worry about. Domestic mixed-race people are law-abiding, and their bloodlines aren't as uncontrollable as those in island nations, so there's rarely a need to hunt down servants.
The uncontrollable things were eliminated while still in the womb.
So at this point, Du Huimin would be pulled to play duo queue with the little girl.
Until morning.
……
In the early morning, Liu Miaomiao, having had a good night's sleep, opened her eyes and stretched lazily in bed.
As she moved her arms and legs, she bumped into Su Xiaoqiang, who was sleeping next to her.
Su Xiaoqiang was preoccupied with something on her mind, and since she was a light sleeper, she woke up as soon as she was touched.
When she saw Liu Miaomiao wake up, she immediately opened her eyes wide and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Liu Miaomiao rubbed her eyes: "I'm fine. I just took a nap. What could possibly happen?"
"A nap?" Su Xiaoqiang reached out and touched the alarm clock on the bedside table, showing it to her. "Look at what time it is now."
"Wow, it's already 7:30 pm!" Liu Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise, but then asked in confusion, "Why is it still bright outside?"
The alarm clock by the bedside had hands, so she thought it was 7:30 p.m.
Su Xiaoqiang took out his phone, showed her the calendar, told her it was already the second day, and then recounted what had happened yesterday.
Liu Miaomiao looked completely bewildered: "I...I don't remember. I only remember having a buffet lunch and taking a nap in the afternoon..."
Do you remember the nightmare you had?
“I think I vaguely remember... It's from the movie I watched before, Scream. There was a guy wearing a ghost mask who kept trying to kill me. I had nowhere to run away, so I was terrified. No matter where I went, that guy in the ghost mask was there... Then I met you, and you helped me fight off the bad guy, and everything was fine.”
"Me?" This time, Su Xiaoqiang was completely bewildered.
In fact, this was a slight psychological suggestion that Gu Ran made using hypnosis last night, modifying the part of her nightmare to prevent her from developing PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) because she couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.
"Oh dear, I need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it in any longer!" Liu Miaomiao got out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran towards the bathroom in the bedroom.
Seeing her best friend regain her previous liveliness, Su Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ran is right, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep.
Gu Ran knocked on the bedroom door: "Can I open the door?"
“Okay,” Su Xiaoqiang said.
Gu Ran opened the bedroom door, wearing an apron, and said to Su Xiaoqiang, who was wrapped in a blanket on the bed, "Get up and have breakfast."
Su Xiaoqiang rubbed her eyes: "I want to sleep a little longer."
"They've already prepared everything, eat before you go to sleep!" Gu Ran coaxed in a sweet, coquettish tone.
Su Xiaoqiang shivered: "Don't talk like that, I can't stand it..."
"Ha, woman, get up and eat breakfast!"
"Yes, received!" Su Xiaoqiang smiled and pulled back the covers.
Then Gu Ran saw her graceful body under her red nightgown, her snow-white breasts exposed, and her fair, round, and slender legs, crisply exposed to the air.
He stared intently.
Feeling her boyfriend's aggressive gaze, Su Xiaoqiang said shyly, "I need to change my clothes, you can close the door and leave!"
Because Liu Miaomiao was there, Gu Ran didn't use overly offensive language towards his girlfriend, saving her some face.
Su Xiaoqiang took off her nightgown, picked out a set of red underwear to change into, and then found a comfortable set of loungewear to wear.
She thought to herself with pride, "You damn dog, you know I'm the prettiest, right?"
For breakfast, Gu Ran made beef congee in a clay pot because Liu Miaomiao hadn't eaten dinner last night and must be starving, so she needed something easy to digest.
"This beef is so fresh!" Liu Miaomiao exclaimed after finishing a bowl of porridge. "I only had such fresh meat when I ate Chaoshan hot pot a few years ago when I traveled to Huadu."
Su Xiaoqiang thought for a moment, and realized that the beef shops in the nearby small market didn't seem to open that early.
She asked Gu Ran, "Where did you buy the beef?"
"I bought it at Shibapu," Gu Ran said. "As soon as I got there, I saw the butcher carrying a cow down the road."
"That far?" Su Xiaoqiang usually enjoys driving around and is quite familiar with the area. Shibapu is in the suburbs, at least 20 kilometers away, and the round trip is more than 40 kilometers.
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I drove around there. They're doing wholesale all night, and I, as a casual customer, would probably get a lot of attention... so I just bought a lot of meat," Gu Ran said. "We're having braised beef brisket for lunch and beef hot pot for dinner. It's basically a whole beef feast today..."
The two girls love beef and didn't think much of it. Gu Ran has a big appetite, so she doesn't waste this much meat. If she doesn't eat staple food, she can finish it in a day.
"By the way, does anyone know where the local street office is?" Gu Ran asked again.
"I know," Liu Miaomiao said, giving a location.
Is anyone on duty over the weekend?
"I think so."
Gu Ran wrote a check for 10,000 yuan, thinking that repairing one square meter of cement floor should be enough, since the alleyway was for pedestrians only, not vehicles.
Chapter 186 I am the woman he flirted with.
Gu Ran asked Liu Miaomiao to help deliver the check to the street office later, and specifically explained that it was a donation for repairing the alleyway.
Liu Miaomiao held the check, her mind a little blank.
What business is it of yours if the road is being repaired? It's not like you're the one who ruined it.
Gu Ran couldn't very well say that he was the one who broke the road, so he made an excuse: "Everyone has a responsibility to participate in public affairs. Who knows when they'll pay to repair it? We occasionally have to walk through that alley. If we pay to repair it sooner, we'll be more comfortable walking through it."
"You... have such high moral standards?" Liu Miaomiao blurted out in disbelief...
Gu Ran touched his nose and said, "I'm a successor to communism, so tell me, isn't my consciousness high? Don't ask anymore, go on, go after you finish breakfast."
"Why do I have to go?" Liu Miaomiao asked, puzzled.
Su Xiaoqiang silently ate her porridge, occasionally glancing at her boyfriend, wanting to see how long he would stop rambling.
