Chapter 239: Xiao Yue's crow's mouth
Shaking her head, Ling Qingyu went out and returned to the hall to catch up with the main event. Tonight's auction might bring out credible and valuable materials.
Thinking of the ancient collections decorated inside her manor, Ling Qingyu rubbed her chin. Not bad.
And what if she met some more golden fingers and secrets of the universe? Who knew if those materials belonged to the advanced civilization? Ling Qingyu was looking forward to it.
What if the items she picked up opened the path to immortality and godhood, or any ancient martial arts? Every mortal's dream of becoming a strong powerhouse shouldn't be far away.
Unfortunately, Miss System poured cold water over her head. [It's impossible for you in this life to own such opportunities with my presence.]
Ling Qingyu nearly exploded, asking frantically in her mind. 'Why? What do you mean?'
[You already gained numerous prices from me, I'm not going to allow you to become an invincible existence.]
'Come on. It's not like I'm going to bully someone.'
[Like hell, you do...To be honest, immortality and godhood aren't impossible but don't think about it for now.]
Ling Qingyu sighed. 'How about ancient martial arts strengthening?'
[Scientifically, it's possible but don't hope too much. The world I chose you, didn't even have the slightest aura.]
'How about genetic engineering or any nano-technologies to provide more power to the cell?'
[That's something you've to realize by yourself. With your wealth and search for talent, I'm sure it's not far away. That's also the reason why I'll suppress you even if you find similar treasure. What's not yours won't be yours.]
Ling Qingyu flagged a middle finger secretly in her mind. You bastard System. Why do you suppress my luck?
Miss System: Female Pervert, what can you do?
Of course, the necessary banter between the two was a daily love exchange. Ling Qingyu didn't think Miss System would really do what she said. It must more likely be her ideas were nonexistent in this world.
Pity, Ling Qingyu thought. However, the scientific method was still possible and wasn't restricted—it must be good news.
Ling Qingyu felt a push and glanced back. Xiao Yue asked with worry. "What's the matter with your face? What are you thinking? One second, you beamed with joy; the next second you seem like you've eaten shit."
Ling Qingyu's face darkened and she snorted, not bothering to reply. Eating shit. Too much of a description here. Xiao Yue's giggles rang from behind.
After exiting the toilet and contemplating everything, Ling Qingyu figured she must adapt to the changes, in contrast to the original plan of laying low.
Her reputation would only rise more. Since the results were already out, she didn't mind buying with money.
There were also advantages she gained during the few days. Yang Qingyue covered her and allowed more freedom. As long as she didn't repeat her act of hacking the Qin family again and again, she remained safe.
However, she understood, it wasn't for long before she might face numerous attacks. She had confidence in her confidantes and her ability to tackle through this difficult moment.
So long as she firmly planted her status in Province N, even the capital would have to think twice. Despite future struggles, Ling Qingyu felt steady—a little test from fate meant nothing to her. She should dig a grave if she couldn't solve the predicament with so much help around.
On the way back, Ling Qingyu was greeted a lot, and responded accordingly, neither too cold nor too warm. Some even wanted to have a dialogue to obtain her impression and she solved them with skills.
"Miss Ling is getting more and more famous." Ling Qingyu heard a man's voice, His tone consisted of vicissitudes and powers. Only those who rose from ashes had this aura in their voices.
"Thank you, Mister. I'm just doing what I can to repay the society." Ling Qingyu didn't want a high title on her head. Instead of praise, it was a burden.
"Not many can have the same mindset as yours. As there is white, there is also black." The man muttered.
"How do I address you, Mister?" Ling Qingyu asked while her intuition sensed weirdness in this man.
"The old man's surname is Hu." The man appeared in his late fifties, wearing a grey man suit, and standing tall like an old mafia boss.
"So, it's Mr. Hu. I wonder what's the connection with the real estate enterprise of Hu Group." Ling Qingyu asked.
"I'm just a little boss compared to Miss Ling's grandeur." Mr. Hu sounded peaceful but Ling Qingyu had no idea why she sensed malice. "Ms. Ling's methods were too good and clean."
"I'm sorry I have no idea what you're talking about." Ling Qingyu was puzzled for a while and later realized the man before her was indeed the leader of the Hu gang.
She had no idea how she became related to those desperadoes. Ling Qingyu didn't really want to get close to the gang factions which affected the relationship with Yang Qingyue.
Or left a handle for her enemies to attack Yang Qingyue in the political arena. Knowing now that the man was the gang leader, Ling Qingyu intended to cut him off.
But would Mr. Hu grant her wish? "Although I have no idea, Ms. Ling Qingyu encountering an accident a week ago also brought bad news for me. In contrast to your good recovery, I lost my men and my son."
By now, Ling Qingyu knew she met someone saying Yin and Yang with her. When she was about to go around, Mr. Hu blocked her.
Ling Qingyu's eyes drifted toward Xiao Yue in complaint. Did this girl possess some attributes similar to a crow's mouth?
She just stated troubles would always come and spoke the longest words, Ling Qingyu ever heard. It seemed she must be fearful should Xiao Yue begin to say for long.
Xiao Yue shrugged and spread her palm, helplessly. Heaven forbid or any deity, she never meant to experience straightaway.
Ling Qingyu's lips twitched and returned her attention to Mr. Hu. "I don't quite get it, Mister. Although you have my sympathy, I'm also helpless." She replied, expressing her innocence.
Ling Qingyu understood what matters the man was talking about. She gave a secret glance at Xiao Yue, who also nodded imperceptibly.
Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue followed Ling Qingyu's retaliation plan and messed around the Hu gang, responsible for her 'death'. They even burnt the son of gang leader alive.
Ling Qingyu gave full support for their actions. These gang members had been arbitrarily abusing other helpless people and needed to be taught.
"My son was burnt alive, according to a police report." Mr. Hu gritted his teeth as he said. "And the perpetrator are let loose. If the justice system couldn't give me the answer, I intend to pursue it with my own hands."
A naked threat. Ling Qingyu probably knew this man suspected and confirmed it was hers.

"Perhaps, the system is inherently flawed, that some people exploit the holes and burn themselves. You play with fire; you're gonna get burned someday." Ling Qingyu said sarcastically.
The man cracked his fists as he glared at Xiao Yue. "You have good subordinates, Miss Ling."
"No, I have a better family, who love me and protect me."
