Chapter 1049: Is Your System OK?
Ning Shu purposefully visited Chu Xiaoran’s company to provoke Chu Xiaoran before returning to her firm.
She had visited Chu Xiaoran on purpose. After all, she had to act as a proper bait.
Rather than worry everyday about her own safety, it was better to capture all the threats in one go. Although it was a bit dangerous, hopefully the outcome would be good.
In the following days, Ning Shu could sense that someone was following her, but this person didn’t make a move and simply tailed her. If it weren’t for the fact that she had practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, she wouldn’t have discovered them at all.
This person was much stronger than the hoodlums from before.
Ning Shu had a radio transmitter on her. It was something the higher ups had given her. If something really happened, the police would get the signal and immediately rush over.
Ning Shu felt like she was really using every ounce of ability she had for this task. Fighting against an rich and influential man was simply this hard.
“If you had besieged Chu Xiaoran, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much.” 2333 suddenly popped out. He said mildly, “Don’t they say that men conquer the world and women conquered men with their bodies? That’s the advantage you women have. It’s better to leave things like fighting and killing to the men.”
“The frick would I besiege!? I’m a man right now! You want me, a man, to go besiege Chu Xiaoran!? Is your system still ok? You don’t have a virus?” Ning Shu was nearly about to kneel to 2333.
“…Oh. I forgot about that,” said 2333.
Ning Shu: …
“If I besiege a man with my level of charm, do you think the man would pay attention to me?” asked Ning Shu.
2333: “…No way.”
She was supposed to help the entrustor counterattack and gain a new life. Could it be that the entrustor would have a successful life just because she found the entrustor a good man? That marrying a rich and powerful man was the definition of a successful life?
Perhaps it also counted as a successful life, but there was nothing that brought more happiness than being able to freely be yourself, do what you want to do, and work at what you love to fulfill your own dream.
No matter how you were like, there would be a person by your side who share good and hard times with you. Feelings that could survive the wearing away of the years was what true love was.
Ning Shu wanted to be able to keep walking through the myriads of planes. Feelings weren’t important to her, they were even a hinderance.
If she were to wish for someone to accompany her in watching the clouds and the horizon, she hoped it would be when she had control over her own fate.
Her current motive was only to keep living, to keep surviving…
A person’s true heart was seriously too heavy. She didn’t have anything to give in exchange for a true heart. If she gave her own true heart, how was she supposed to continue wandering the planes freely?
If her life didn’t belong to her and her heart also didn’t belong to her, what was there left that belonged to her?
Ning Shu avoided having feelings for people within a task. Of course, no one would take a fancy to her anyways.
This was a pretty sad topic.
“Idiot.” 2333 scoffed at Ning Shu, then fell silent.
Ning Shu: …
She could sense that someone was spying on her and following her like a shadow. She felt that Chu Xiaoran’s influence underground was definitely nothing to be underestimated.
