"$%$%...%...%...."
The woman, bound tightly, struggled violently and kept shouting, trying to explain everything. She clearly understood her own situation.
She was nothing more than a Hungry Monkey woman.
She couldn't even count as an ex-girlfriend.
The reason she had run to Jingjiu City wasn't it because the Hungry Monkey's reputation in Fengtian City was getting bigger and bigger? She heard rumors that Hungry Monkey was sending people to look for her in Fengtian City. She was so scared that she didn't hesitate for a second and fled Fengtian City overnight, running straight to Jingjiu City.
She thought she was safe.
Although life in Jingjiu City was harder, she could still manage to find a dishwashing job and survive. What she didn't expect was that Hungry Monkey would co to Fengtian as well, and caused such a big stir. She was just putting on an act, and she didn't expect to get caught because of it.
However...
No matter how hard she struggled and scread, the static tape over her mouth and the sock stuffed inside prevented her from saying a complete word. She could only emit animal-like roars.
This fear made Zhang Wanlin very satisfied.
"Good."
Zhang Wanlin sneered as he grabbed the woman's neck and brought her face in front of the cara, slowly sliding a dagger across her cheek, "See this, Chen Miao? I've fallen to this point all because of you. You must pay so price for this."
"If I don't see you at the designated place within 12 hours,"
"I will let the whole Federation enjoy a beautiful show."
Having said this,
he cut the tape over the woman's mouth and used the tip of the knife to pick out the sock.
The woman, finally able to speak, ignored the cuts at the corners of her mouth where Zhang Wanlin had removed the tape too roughly, and scread with a voice full of fear and panic, mixed with sobs, "Big brother, you've got the wrong person."
"I'm not really Hungry Monkey's woman at all; I was just pretending. Before Hungry Monkey beca established, I tricked him into buying a grave. To con him into buying that grave, I said I was willing to be his girlfriend, that we could use the burial chamber as our bridal chamber, and I sold it for several tens of thousands of credits."
"I made a commission of three thousand."
"After Hungry Monkey made it big, he's been hunting down ever since. I was forced to flee to Jingjiu City, I swear, every word I'm saying is true. Big brother, you can check; I swear if I tell a single lie, may lightning strike down!"
"After I ran to Jingjiu City, I was just a lousy dish washer, making a fixed salary of just over 7k a month. Chen Miao would never co over for . Big brother, you really got the wrong person; please, please let go."
At this mont, the live stream room had already attracted a lot of viewers, with many people watching the drama unfold, making it extrely lively.
"Heh."
Zhang Wanlin's face was full of scornful cold laughter, "Starting to save yourself now, aren't you? A monthly salary of over seven thousand, and you go to 'Chaofeng House' for breakfast, where a casual breakfast for one person costs over three thousand. Is that a place you could afford on a seven thousand salary?"
"If it's not Hungry Monkey giving you money from behind the scenes, how could you afford to go to such a place?"
"Big brother! You've misunderstood!!!"
The woman's voice trembled with regret, "Although I'm a dish washer in Jingjiu City, I can't wash dishes for the rest of my life, can I? I'm not content with that, I thought the type of person who can afford to spend three thousand on breakfast must be soone of importance."
"I saved for a month just for this breakfast today, thinking what if soone ca to talk to , then wouldn't I have soared up to the branch and beco a phoenix in a flash."
"Even if I couldn't be a main wife, being a mistress would at least be better than washing dishes."
As the voice died away.
Many who were watching the live broadcast paused, then nodded thoughtfully, as if what was said made sense. People should be willing to invest in themselves. Even a little leak from the fingers of the wealthy could be enough for them to spend for a lifeti.
Not to ntion, they would never go for a breakfast that costs an average of 3k in their entire lives.
In fact, many people wouldn't even know such an expensive breakfast existed in this world if it weren't for this broadcast, which was beyond their comprehension.
...
"It looks like there's no good show to watch," lanted Hungry Monkey, shaking his head in disappointnt. "It seems like Zhang Wanlin has co to his senses. It's a sha. I thought there would be an exciting program to watch on the first day of the New Year, but now it seems like there's nothing."
"Hey, Hungry Monkey," said Yuan Buping, standing nearby with a tongue-click of palpable relief. "You really have to admit, this woman is pretty scheming. Lucky for us, Zhang Wanlin caught on to her. Otherwise, with her figure and looks, if she had succeeded, she might have beco so big shot's mistress."
"If she played dirty tricks on us from behind, we might really end up capsized in the gutter."
"Zhang Wanlin has really saved us from a potential danger."
"Her?" Hungry Monkey scoffed, "With her trivial tricks, she might have fooled the old , but anyone who's seen a bit of the world wouldn't give her a second glance. Not to ntion, the current —her little sches have no effect on whatsoever."
...
"Do you see that?" Sir Wen calmly reclined in his chair, raising his cane to point at the woman on the screen: "This is why I've always told you not to flirt, not to go to places frequented by the elite."
"Those places are filled with traps."
"And the most terrifying trap in this world is love. If it's just for fun, it's no big deal, but once you fall into the trap of love, you'll willingly give away all your fortune and even offer your heart contentedly."

"That's terrifying."
"Oh."
Wen Xi, squatting on the ground nearby, cast a complex glance at his body's canine form: "Grandpa, your dentia is getting worse. Have you forgotten that I chose the 'Roaring Heavenly Dog' Supernatural Occupation a long ti ago?"
"It's very difficult for to flirt in this form."
"Although the occupation is strong, Grandpa, did you ever consider when you chose it as the family heritage occupation, that it would be hard for us to find a lady?"
He was Wen Xi; he had heard of the person in the video but had never t him. However, he knew of Chen Miao.
He had t Chen Miao on a Hell Bus journey. At the ti, he thought Chen Miao had potential and gave him a Marksman-type Prop he had acquired on the Hell Bus, forming a good connection.
On another occasion, he went to Fengtian City for a mission and hoped to catch up with Chen Miao, but he missed him because Chen Miao was not in Fengtian City.
They hadn't t since.
Although he hadn't had the chance to et Chen Miao again, news about Chen Miao always seed to pop up from ti to ti, making it impossible to forget.
