Capítulo 1327: Chapter 1327: The Real and Fake Heiress (33)
Shu Juan at first didn’t quite understand why the extra effort was needed.
Until he stood outside, looking at those tied-up people, he later realized that she didn’t want them to see what he looked like.
…Exposing his appearance to these people, it was only a matter of ti before they found out.
Shu Juan’s hand hanging by his side slowly clenched.
Chuzheng quickly ca out and led him inside to discuss the price.
The big boss, compared to his previous angry outbursts, had now cald down, even showing a hint of excitent.
Not long ago, the largest underground transaction darknet was shut down, and the people running it seed to be looking for soone across the globe.
He had naturally heard these rumors…
The founder of the darknet was no longer traceable, having fallen into the hands of people with Fire Kirin tattoos on their arms more than a decade ago.
With the darknet, those people quickly grew strong and beca one of the top ten underground forces.
Many have tried to get their hands on the darknet, but unfortunately, no one succeeded.
Now, soone actually handed this thing over to him.
Buy it?
Needless to say!
Of course, buy it!
With the deal, the darknet takes a direct cut, allowing for significant inco without the need for personal risk—this is pure profit.
Moreover, the darknet is not just about making money; it also includes client lists, transaction records, a network of contacts, etc… If it should fall into the hands of the authorities, the consequences would be unthinkable.
–
With Chuzheng present, the deal went exceptionally smoothly.
Shu Juan was clearly not in it for the money; he rely wanted to hand that thing to soone else.
After sending off those big bosses, Chuzheng finally asked Shu Juan, “Why did you do it?”
If it wasn’t for the money, why go through all the trouble to sell it?
Isn’t that just being bored out of your mind?!
Is the Good Person Card defective?
Shu Juan held the cross on his chest and slightly curled his lips with an ambiguous aning, speaking with a ghostly undertone, “Who can guarantee that it’s a good thing?”
Chuzheng squinted slightly, “What are you planning?”
“I’m not planning anything.” Shu Juan released the cross, “But you, bringing so many people here, are you sure there won’t be any problems?”
Chuzheng’s tone was casually flat yet contained unwavering confidence, “They don’t dare do anything to .”
She said ‘don’t dare,’ not ‘won’t’ or ‘can’t’—these people were afraid of her.
After a mont of silence, Shu Juan suddenly asked, “You had them blindfolded because you didn’t want them to see , right?”
“You’re mine, only I can look at you.” How could the Good Person Card be coveted by others! Certainly, only I can covet it!
Shu Juan’s heart skipped a bit.
He slowly t Chuzheng’s gaze, her calm eyes reflecting his image, causing his heart to pound for an instant.
The voice seed as if it was right at his ear.
Shu Juan’s throat felt slightly dry, “…Do you want to protect ?”
Chuzheng naturally replied, “That’s what I should do, no need to thank .”
Protecting the Good Person Card is everyone’s… only my responsibility.
Shu Juan: “…”
–
It was late at night when they returned to the Tube-shaped Apartnt Building, with Chuzheng leading and Shu Juan following behind as they went upstairs.
No flashlight was used for lighting, and no words were spoken; Shu Juan trailed behind silently enough that Chuzheng couldn’t hear his footsteps.
When they reached Chuzheng’s floor, Shu Juan called out to her.
He removed the cross necklace from around his neck and placed it on hers, “For you.”
Chuzheng suddenly blurted out, “A token of our relationship?”
“…” Shu Juan was silent for several seconds, “Do you like ?”
Chuzheng naturally questioned back, “What else?”
Shu Juan fiddled with her hair, letting the cross hang in front of her, his tone light with a hint of amusent, “Little friend, focus on your studies, don’t always think about these things.”
Chuzheng imdiately retorted, “You’re not a thing.”
So thinking about you is no problem!
“…”
He felt like she was insulting him!!
Shu Juan placed a kiss on her forehead, “If when you beco an adult, you still like , and I’m still around, then we’ll give it a try.”
Chuzheng thought about her original birthday, “I’ll be an adult tomorrow.”
“???” Shu Juan was taken aback, dryly asking, “Aren’t you a sophomore?”
Normally, don’t you graduate high school to reach adulthood?
Why are you becoming an adult as a sophomore?
And it just so happens, tomorrow you’re an adult!!
Is there such a thing?!
Is she setting a trap for him to fall into?!
Chuzheng nodded, “Yeah, I got sick in middle school and missed over a year.”
Because of poor family conditions, Du Xia started school late, coincidentally being in the sa grade as her.
Shu Juan: “…”
Why do I find this hard to believe?
Chuzheng squinted her eyes, “You don’t believe ?”
“…”
It’s totally lacking credibility, okay?
Chuzheng flipped through her bag and pulled out an ID card to hand to him.
Shu Juan skeptically took it and shone his phone screen on it.
Turns out it’s true…
Chuzheng looked down at the ti, which just shifted to midnight.
She showed her phone to Shu Juan, “See, I’m an adult now.”
Shu Juan: “…”
Shu Juan was probably thunderstruck and motionless for a long ti.
Isn’t the developnt of this matter a bit off track?!
But he was the one who said it, even if it’s a trap he dug himself.
Let’s just say… it’s excessively coincidental.
So exaggerated that he couldn’t argue back.
After quite so ti, Shu Juan managed to utter a few words, “Happy birthday…”
“What you said just now…”
“Got it.” Shu Juan handed the ID card back to her and walked upstairs, a slightly gritted voice drifting down, “I won’t go back on my words.”
If he had known about this outco, he definitely wouldn’t have said those words.
However, there was no foreknowledge.
Suddenly having a girlfriend out of nowhere…
Shu Juan’s feelings were a bit mixed.
He quickly disappeared into the dark hallway, giving a sense of fleeing in haste.
Chuzheng reached out and touched the cross, returning ho at a leisurely pace.
–
The next day.
School.
As soon as Chuzheng entered, she was grabbed by He Shan.
“Xiao Chu, where have you been lately, were you sick?” As He Shan talked, she reached out to feel Chuzheng’s forehead, seeing nothing wrong, she added, “Or did sothing happen?”
Chuzheng pushed her hand away, “I’m fine.”
“Really?”
Chuzheng pointed to herself with her fingers, “Do I look like I have any problems?”
He Shan scrutinized her closely, “As long as you’re fine… As long as you’re fine, you didn’t reply to my ssages, and I couldn’t reach you by phone, I thought sothing happened.”
He Shan kept on rambling non-stop.
From the school gate to the classroom.
It seed she had to spill all the things she hadn’t had the chance to say to her during this ti.
Chuzheng exhaled a breath, resisting the urge to cover her mouth.
I’m holding it in!
Chuzheng had missed quite a bit of coursework, and He Shan had taken notes for her.
He Shan rembered sothing, “By the way, there’s a math test today.”
Chuzheng acknowledged with a hum, indicating she was aware.
“Do you want to explain it to you?”
“No need.”
He Shan scratched her head, thinking her math grades weren’t that great anyway, so it was hard to insist.
