So that Liu Yue could get the game helmet and enter the game sooner, Chen Xiaoyan decided to go to Kyo City tomorrow to resolve the issue. Every day less delay meant she could enter the game a day earlier. The development of Jian Ge depended on her now.
The two spent some more time being lovey-dovey on Penguin before ending the chat.
“Liu Yue: This is a reward for you.”
“Liu Yue: [Image]”
Looking at Liu Yue’s last message, Chen Xiaoyan smiled at the corner of her mouth and tapped the image to view it.
Under the emerald green bamboo forest, misty fog, a classical beauty holding a paper fan walked along the bamboo path. Her skirt ribbons fluttered, the beauty turned her head and smiled—just a moment, that touch of unparalleled elegance could make heaven and earth pale. What a heavenly celestial maiden descending to the mortal world.
Chen Xiaoyan’s smile froze on her face. She was completely stunned, staring blankly at the phone screen, not daring to blink, afraid that blinking would make her miss this wonderfully exquisite mood.
‘Amazing, just amazing.’
‘This photo has no filters, it’s a real image.’
‘Indeed.’
‘Yueyue is best suited for this look.’
‘When I first saw her, I felt this girl had a celestial aura. Now it seems I wasn’t wrong.’
‘Chong Chong is petite and cute.’
‘Mu Qingxue is cold and proud, the aloof type.’
‘And Liu Yue is gentle like water, the graceful type.’
‘Three different kinds of beauties. Can I, Chen Xiaoyan, really have them?’
Because Liu Yue was so outstanding, it made her a bit insecure.
She came to the bathroom mirror and looked at her own enchanting and innocent face. Two kinds of temperaments appeared on one person—one alluring, one pure—subverting all beings.
“Hmph, this baby’s face isn’t bad either,” Chen Xiaoyan said smugly, while examining her slender waist and curling her lips.
“Master, that guy is calling again!!!”
At this moment, the phone placed in the inner room suddenly rang loudly.
Chen Xiaoyan forgot about self-admiration and quickly returned to the inner room. She picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello? Who is this?”
“Hello, is this Miss Chen Xiaoyan?”
The person on the other end was a man, which instantly raised Chen Xiaoyan’s vigilance.
“Who are you? How do you know my phone number?”
“I’m Missy’s man.”
“Missy? Mu Qingxue?”
“Yes, Miss Chen. Missy instructed me to contact you once the target was safely delivered to Qingzhou.”
Chen Xiaoyan suddenly thought of the Qi sisters, far away in Modu City.
‘So it’s them. You scared me.’
“Okay, thank you for your hard work. Send them to XXX residential area.”
“Roger.”
After those two words, the other side hung up.
‘Such a swift attitude. As expected of the Mu family—has that professional vibe.’
‘The Qi sisters are coming. Where should I arrange for them to stay?’
Thinking this, Chen Xiaoyan picked up her phone and called Gan Renxue, but the other party didn’t answer.
‘Not here?’
She threw on a jacket and went out in slippers to the next apartment.
To make it easier to take care of her, the resident of 302 had been moved to the second floor, so the entire third floor only had the two of them.
ding-dong ding-dong
Chen Xiaoyan walked to the door of 302 and rang the doorbell a few times. Still no one.
‘Eh, where did this Yaoyao go? Forget it, I’ll just go solve the housing problem for them myself.’
In the apartment building, each floor has four apartment units.
On the third floor, 301 was hers, 302 was Yaoyao’s. It happened that she could temporarily give them 303 and 304 to stay in.
As she thought, she unconsciously arrived at the door of 303. Just as she was about to take out the key to open the door, she suddenly remembered that her own key couldn’t open 303 at all.
‘As for the keys to the other rooms, Yaoyao prepared a set for me. Where did she put them?’
‘Oh, behind the door.’
Chen Xiaoyan went back to her room and found the spare key ring for the apartment building on the wall behind the door.
It was a ring with dozens of keys hanging on it, and it was a bit heavy to carry.
The keys had labels on them indicating the room numbers of each apartment. She searched for a long time before finding the keys for 303 and 304.
Chen Xiaoyan’s delicate brows furrowed.
‘This is so inconvenient. I’ll have Yaoyao handle it another day and separate the keys by floor so they’ll be easier to find.’
She went to check on these two apartments. The furniture and appliances were basically complete, so they could move in with just their bags; there was no need to buy anything.
Although this neighborhood was a bit remote and the price low, no matter what, it was still a single-person apartment, not comparable to those shared rentals outside.
On top of that, the previous landlady had tidied it up well, and it had all the necessary style, worthy of the rent of three thousand a month (a huge sum).
Chen Xiaoyan looked over both apartments one by one, subconsciously putting herself in the role of the landlady.
‘As for the Qi sisters, Qi Yun and Qi You, she really didn’t have any hidden motives.’
‘Naturally, she couldn’t give them free rent. Besides, these houses weren’t hers. Even if Qingxue wouldn’t care about such things, she wouldn’t use someone else’s property to owe favors to others.’
‘That would be bad form.’
‘The two sisters have salaries now that they’ve joined Xueyan Pavilion, so she could deduct it from their wages.’
‘This way, she could have a clear account to both them and Qingxue.’
‘See how businesslike I am? How could I have any designs on them, right?’
Afterward, Chen Xiaoyan notified the security room to send two key cards. Without the key cards, the security room wouldn’t let anyone into the neighborhood.
Previously, the neighborhood didn’t have security guards. Since Qingxue bought the neighborhood, she dispatched a team of guards.
On the surface, they were security guards, but Chen Xiaoyan knew they were all Mu family people, very likely the kind of underground thugs. Because of their fierce, iron-blooded aura, they didn’t look like ordinary security guards at all.
“Master, that guy is calling again.”
The phone rang again. Chen Xiaoyan swiped to unlock and saw it was that unfamiliar number.
“Hello, have you arrived?”
“Miss Chen, we’ve arrived at the neighborhood entrance.”
“No one followed, right?”
“Rest assured, Miss Chen. The reason it took so long is that we already shook those people off back in Modu City.”
“Mm, I’ll be right out. Please wait a moment.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Chen Xiaoyan went home, put on a mask, changed into a simple white short-sleeve shirt and blue jean shorts, straightened out her messy hair, and went downstairs.
Neighborhood entrance. A silver iron gate, two to three meters high and ten meters long, stood across the middle.
The entire neighborhood was enclosed by iron railings. The spikes on top of the railings were wrapped with dense barbed wire and electrified.
If anyone dared to sneak in, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
In just a few days, the neighborhood had changed quite a bit.
Chen Xiaoyan looked at the security-filled setup around the neighborhood and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
She arrived at the security booth at the entrance. The guards here recognized Chen Xiaoyan and knew their mission was to protect this girl.
“Miss Chen, take a look. Is it these people outside?”
Through the monitor, she saw two sedans outside. Several unfamiliar men were discussing something with two security guards.
And behind them stood two beautiful figures.
