Chapter 323: 323 (in the middle of the night)

Zheng Chuyi seemed to know that she would be coming and had arranged for Roy to wait for her in the front hall. When he saw Chu Jin arrive, his face lit up with happiness, and he greeted her enthusiastically, "Miss Chu, you’re here. Miss Zheng has been waiting for you. I’ll take you to her now."

Chu Jin showed a surprised expression, "The Ninth Lady knew I was coming?"

Roy nodded, "Yes," then looked eagerly at Chu Jin, "Miss Chu, I really like you a lot. Could we take a photo together?"

This was Chu, the beauty!

The internet-famous Chu, the beauty. Moreover, there was no news about Chu, the beauty’s return on the internet yet.

If he got a photo with Chu, the beauty, and uploaded it online, who knew if he could capitalize on her popularity for his own viral moment.

Chu Jin smiled and nodded, "Of course, it would be my pleasure."

This feeling of being admired was really pleasant.

Seeing Chu Jin agree, Roy immediately took out his phone, switched to selfie mode, leaned close to Chu Jin, struck a scissor-hand pose, and with a ’click’, captured their upper bodies on his phone screen.

Roy was a typical southerner, so his skin was somewhat dark, and his features quite ordinary, which made the person next to him appear even more like a natural beauty.

Although Chu Jin’s presence wasn’t quite like Chu Jin’s, at least she had the same facial features as Chu Jin.

Outshining an ordinary person in terms of looks and aura was quite easy.

After the photo was taken, Roy asked cautiously, "Miss Chu, may I post this picture on the internet?"

Chu Jin smiled gently, "Sure."

"Thank you, Miss Chu." Roy contained his excitement, opened Weibo, and logged into his account.

He posted a new Weibo update.

"Finally waited for you, glad I didn’t give up, Chu, the beauty, welcome back," with an attached photo.

Because Roy’s account was only verified as an ordinary person, the Weibo he posted did not immediately receive any comments or likes.

Roy was not disappointed, he turned off his phone and continued to lead Chu Jin forward.

Upon reaching the drawing room, just like before, Zheng Chuyi still met her behind a red silk bead curtain.

A light fragrance of tea wafted through the air, very pleasant to smell.

"How was your day?" came a voice as gentle as water from behind the red silk, each word reaching her ears.

Chu Jin relayed everything that had happened that day to Zheng Chuyi verbatim.

"Ninth Lady, what should I do now? Li Mi has recognized that I’m not the real Chu Jin," Chu Jin said, her voice sounding somewhat panicked.

She was truly scared.

She had endured so many cuts and suffered so much in the hospital just to gain this appearance, and she didn’t want it all to be ruined so easily.

"What’s there to panic about?" Zheng Chuyi’s voice sounded somewhat displeased, "So you’re saying, aside from that Li Mi, no one else has noticed any anomalies?"

Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, Li Mi not only realized that I’m not the genuine Chu Jin, but she also knows that my face has been surgically altered."

Thinking of Li Mi, Chu Jin still felt scared.

Moreover, by the look of it, Li Mi seemed to be acquainted with Song Shiqin.

Currently, Li Mi was like a ticking time bomb, potentially threatening her at any moment.

Zheng Chuyi sipped her tea with leisure before asking, "And what about Song Shiqin? What was his reaction? Did he realize that you weren’t the real Chu Jin?"

Chu Jin shook her head, "He hasn’t noticed anything unusual, and he even took Li Mi away, telling me not to worry."

"That’s good," Zheng Chuyi said with satisfaction, "Since Song Shiqin hasn’t discovered anything unusual, you need to find a way to gain his trust and use him to eliminate Li Mi." As she reached the last sentence, a malicious light flickered in the depths of Zheng Chuyi’s eyes.

Hearing this, Chu Jin’s face showed a look of shock, "Eliminate Li Mi? Ninth Lady, do you mean..."

Although she wanted to replace Chu Jin to live a life of glory envied by all, she had never considered murder!

She hoped she had misunderstood the Ninth Lady’s meaning.

"What’s the matter?" Zheng Chuyi chuckled lightly, "Are you scared? Or do you prefer to keep a hazard around that could threaten you at any moment?"

Chu Jin’s face turned pale, not expecting that the Ninth Lady truly meant it, "I..."

Zheng Chuyi’s voice was still gentle, "Only the dead cannot speak. Unless you wish to fail at the last hurdle, you’d better think it over."

She had already sacrificed so much and could not afford any mistakes at this juncture!

Chu Jin quickly raised her head, looking seriously at Zheng Chuyi, "Ninth Lady, I will follow your guidance."

"That’s right," Zheng Chuyi spoke slowly, "As long as you make good use of Song Shiqin, I believe it wouldn’t take long to deal with Li Mi."

"But what about my face? What if they take me to the hospital for a verification?" Chu Jin’s biggest concern at the moment was still this.

A sly smile curved the corners of Zheng Chuyi’s mouth, "Go, to the hospital, of course, and let Li Mi take you there herself."

At these words, Chu Jin looked up incredulously, "What?"

Her face was a sham to begin with; wouldn’t going to the hospital be walking right into a trap?

Chu Jin found herself unable to comprehend Zheng Chuyi’s true intentions for a moment.

Zheng Chuyi didn’t bother to explain, just said, "I have my methods. Just do as I say."

"Okay," Chu Jin nodded lightly, "Ninth Lady, I understand."

In Chu Jin’s heart, the Ninth Madame was all-powerful, and since she had said so, Chu Jin felt there was no need to contradict her.

The Ninth Madame had spent so much effort on her, she certainly wouldn’t harm her.

Zheng Chuyi continued, "Starting from tomorrow, you will attend school. In the following time, focus on preparing for the college entrance exam, and there is no need to go to that crossroad anymore."

Today’s trip to the crossroad was just to test the waters.

The real show was just beginning.

Chu Jin smiled faintly and nodded, "I understand, Ninth Madame."

She was also looking forward to going to school.

Jiang Mubai had been very busy these past few days.

Every day, he was busy handling tasks, rushing between Superpower World and Ancient Martial Arts World.

It had been a long time since he had seen Zheng Chuyi, and he wondered how she was now?

Was she getting used to living there?

Was she eating on time every day?

Had she lost weight?

With these thoughts, Jiang Mubai quickened his pace, heading towards the place he longed to be.

The moon was ascending into the branches, stars dotted the sky, and the night was very peaceful.

Occasional sounds of insects could be heard, when suddenly, from not far away, there was a ’plop’, followed by a rush of water and faint cries for help.

Even though the sounds were not very clear, they were unmistakably real.

It was obvious someone had fallen into the water.

Jiang Mubai’s ear twitched slightly, and his footsteps slowed down a bit.

This place was at the boundary between Superpower World and Ancient Martial Arts World, separated by a boundless river that turned into a jade belt, dividing the two worlds.

The Jade Belt River was deep and wide with rapidly flowing water. Anyone who didn’t know how to swim and fell in had virtually no chance of survival.

As the cries for help beside him grew fainter, Jiang Mubai could no longer think much about it. In a split second, his body turned into an afterimage, and he leaped forward.

"Plop!"

Jiang Mubai dived straight into the Jade Belt River, and his agile body turned into a river fish, swimming in the turbulent waters.

The person who had fallen into the river had completely lost strength, floundered a few times, and then flopped down like a lump of mud, slowly sinking towards the riverbed.

When Jiang Mubai pulled the person to shore, she had already passed out.

She was a very young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a red dress, with her eyes tightly closed and her face pale.

Jiang Mubai had always had a fondness for the color red, and he immediately started to rescue the girl.

He pressed down on her with both hands crossed, his movements firm and precise.

"Cough cough—" The soaking wet girl in the red dress coughed out the water that had accumulated in her belly and slowly opened her eyes.

They were very lively cat eyes, bright and attractive.

She stared blankly at Jiang Mubai, with a naive smile on her lips, "Big brother, it was you who saved me..."

At this moment, Jiang Mubai was kneeling on one knee, with droplets of water from the tip of his nose and hair falling drop by drop.

Seeing her awake, Jiang Mubai immediately moved his hands away, "Since you’re okay now, I’ll be on my way."

"Wait," the girl immediately grabbed Jiang Mubai’s hand, her voice weak, "Big brother, I have no strength in my body, can you pick me up?"

The girl stared at Jiang Mubai’s exquisitely perfect face, her heart pounding non-stop, and her breathing became a bit hurried.

This was the first time she had seen such a handsome big brother, especially those captivating fox-like eyes, alluring no matter how one looked at them.

Jiang Mubai, by nature, wasn’t a bad person. Seeing that she was a pitiful little girl, he did not refuse her. He simply picked her up by the waist, "Where do you live? I’ll take you home."

The girl immediately wrapped her arms around Jiang Mubai’s neck, her cat eyes blinking, "Big brother, you saved me, I will devote my life to you. From now on, I belong to you; wherever you go, I will follow."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mubai’s face immediately darkened, and he loosened his grip, intending to put the girl down, but the girl didn’t give him the chance. Clinging to his neck, she turned into an octopus.

"Let go of me!" Jiang Mubai’s voice was a bit cold.

The girl stubbornly shook her head, "I won’t! I want to follow you! For a lifetime, I will follow you! You are my savior, and I want to repay you!"

Jiang Mubai’s face started to show a hint of anger, "I don’t need your gratitude, let go of me right now!"

The girl clung to Jiang Mubai, her voice sweet and soft, "Big brother, my name is Shangguan Xiaoxiao, what’s your name?"

Jiang Mubai spoke in a deep, chilly tone, "Are you going to let go of me or not?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s eyes rapidly spun around, "If you tell me your name, I’ll let go of you."

"Jiang Mubai!"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao held Jiang Mubai even tighter, "Brother Jiang, your name is really nice."
