“I’m going to find help. Don’t ask about the details. I’m leaving! Remember to wait on my return!” With these words, Huo Song didn’t even look back and hurriedly left the house.

Liu Lu watched as Huo Song left, then lifted the broken door panel from the ground and gently closed the door.

Back in the house, Liu Lu took out a few more notes from the money box, sealed the box securely, and carefully placed it back in its original spot before replacing the brick.

Liu Lu tried to find a piece of cloth to wrap the money in, but she couldn’t find any. Even a piece of cloth was taken away!

“Damn them all! They won’t have a good ending!” Liu Lu cursed angrily.

She cautiously tucked the money into the pocket of her bra, patted her chest, and calmed herself down.

Glancing at the wall clock, she realized there was only an hour left until school ended. Liu Lu paid no mind to the mess in the house and quickly walked out the door.

Xiang Wan returned to the port with the group.

The people at the port, seeing them arriving with all their belongings, assumed they were looking for a place to rent and smelled a business opportunity.

They surrounded them with questions, and Xiang Wan politely declined several offers, explaining that she was just looking for help with moving. Eventually, the others gave up.

“Thank you all for your hard work today. Searching for things and moving furniture around was no easy task. Feel free to divide the items inside this envelope amongst yourselves. Consider it your reward.” Xiang Wan handed the envelope from her bag to Ling Yun.

She was satisfied with the people that Ling Yun and Liu Gang had managed to gather. Given the time constraints, having over a dozen people was quite impressive. Moreover, half of them were from the martial arts gym.

The envelope had been purchased from the online Shop. Even the food coupons and money inside the envelope had been exchanged electronically through the mall.

Items from the store could be directly exchanged into her bag without any assembly required. Furthermore, the money from the store could be automatically converted into the desired currency, regardless of the country.

After handing over the money, Xiang Wan bid farewell to Ling Yun and the others and headed back to the newspaper office with Chu Ying.

As for how they were going to split the furniture, it was not her concern.

“Wanwan, don’t worry. If that Huo guy comes looking for trouble with you, you can look for me or leave me a message. I’ll help you! But you’re so cool today!” Chu Ying was full of admiration when she thought of how domineering Xiang Wan was just now.

“With you guys around, of course, I’m not afraid! It’s alright, I won’t give them a chance.” Xiang Wan reassured her.

Seeing the sincerity in Chu Ying’s eyes, a warm feeling welled up in Xiang Wan’s heart. It had been a long time since she had been treated with such genuine care!

In her previous life, she didn’t have any friends. There were too many things that she couldn’t control in the upper-class society, surrounded by countless pressures and traps.

She had to act around everyone because she didn’t know if the person in front of her was a wolf in sheep’s clothing or a genuine friend. A single misstep could lead her to a grave.

Though she was still unwilling, the days she had spent in this world could be considered the most relaxed and joyful days she had experienced.

“By the way, I’ll have my dad accompany you tomorrow! My dad is the captain of the Traffic Police Division. He might look a bit stern, but he’s very nice. He’ll help you out.” Chu Ying thought about how Huo Song seemed to know some influential people and wondered if her dad could handle it.

Xiang Wan hadn’t expected Chu Ying to have such a background. No wonder she was thriving at the newspaper.

“No need to trouble Uncle for this; I have my plan,” Xiang Wan said mysteriously, giving a subtle refusal.

“Alright, but if there’s anything, you must tell me!” Chu Ying reminded her.

“Today’s incident will be a huge scoop, hahaha! Let’s call the headline ‘Shocking! Unexpected Attempt by a Prospective Factory Manager to Seize Residential Property!!’ How does that sound? It’ll surely grab people’s attention!” Chu Ying returned to her usual work mode, instantly energized. It was clear that she truly loved her job.

Just like that, she chatted with Chu Ying for a while to discuss the content of this ‘big scoop’.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiang Wan bid farewell to Chu Ying as she had an important matter to attend to.

Only then did Chu Ying reluctantly send her to the car.

After informing the driver of the destination, Xiang Wan took out a small mirror from her bag and tidied up her appearance in the car.

She tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ears, removed her dangling earrings, and replaced them with a pair of delicate silver flower studs. She wiped off the bold lipstick and applied a lip gloss that matched her natural lip color.

After she was done, the car arrived at the destination—the municipal building.

Indeed, her brilliant plan was to get Yang Heng involved.

Yang Heng had always been her trump card, which was why she had declined Chu Ying’s kind offer.
