Fate Trading System – Chapter 364

Plan B

Heart-Stealing Operation 23

Just as Chu Muyu’s body was tense and her spirit was so strained that she was about to collapse, she discovered that the drunken boy pressing on top of her had suddenly fallen to one side.

Lin Xiaohuan tossed the stick to the side; she had just gotten out of the car, and on her way over, she had Fourteen search for it. It was right by a trash can not far away—the handle of a broken absorbent mop.

Chu Muyu forcefully pushed the person off of her and wrapped her arms around Su Xin’s waist, trembling nonstop.

“Xiaohuan… Xiaohuan…”

“It’s okay now, I’ve called the police.”

“Xiaohuan…”

Chu Muyu’s voice carried a sob as she held on tightly.

She didn’t want to ask why Lin Xiaohuan would suddenly appear here; she still had lingering fear in her heart.

Su Xin pushed the person away, took out a tissue, and wiped the tears from Chu Muyu’s face. Before Chu Muyu could say anything, she spoke first.

“Why are you always like this? Don’t you know that I’m not by your side anymore? Don’t you know that you can’t get through to my phone anymore? Why do you still get drunk and wander around alone late at night? Don’t you know it’s summer now, don’t you know there are a lot of bad people outside?”

Su Xin questioned in a cold voice, which carried a hint of anger.

“I…”

“Can you be responsible for yourself? Why do you always have to be like this ah!”

Clearly, the one who was almost in danger was not Lin Xiaohuan, but Lin Xiaohuan’s voice, which carried a sob and anger, made Chu Muyu freeze in a daze.

“Time and time again! I advised you so many times before! Why won’t you just listen! Did you think I just wasn’t willing to run out in the middle of the night to pick you up? What I was afraid of was that one day you wouldn’t have the chance to call me! Just like now, do you understand!”

Su Xin’s voice became hoarse from shouting. She closed her eyes and wiped away the tears on her face.

“Chu Muyu, you’re twenty, not ten! Why can’t you just learn to take care of yourself?”

“Xiaohuan… I… don’t be angry, don’t leave, okay?”

Chu Muyu pulled Su Xin’s hand, her expression revealing a plea.

“Without you, I can’t take care of myself at all, so don’t leave me, can you, can we go back to how we were before, can we be good again, okay? I swear! I swear I will definitely treat you well! I’m begging you… Xiaohuan…”

Chu Muyu gripped Su Xin tightly, afraid that she would turn and leave in the next moment.

“Chu Muyu, you’ve disappointed me too much. You know full well that we’re impossible, that I can’t stay by your side forever! Why must you be so selfish? Let me go, and I’ll let you go too, okay?”

“No, no!”

Chu Muyu shook her head, her hair messy from the earlier struggle.

“We can be together, Lin Xiaohuan, we can be together…”

“You shut up!”

Su Xin’s pupils constricted, and she hurriedly cut Chu Muyu off.

She didn’t want to complete the mission now, at least… at least not now!

She had promised Chu Yanxi, promised that there would be a summer vacation. If she completed the mission now, Chu Yanxi would go crazy.

Master Fourteen, this shouldn’t count, right?

【Only when the target says words like “like” or “love” does it count, please rest assured, Host.】

That’s good.

Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Thank goodness, thank goodness. If it had been judged just now, she would have had to go with the flow¹.

“Chu Muyu, I don’t know why you’re saying this, and I don’t want to know anymore. I understand how shallow your affection is. It’s impossible, don’t say any more.”

Su Xin shook her head. Her plan had not yet unfolded; how could it end just like this.

“Xiaohuan, I know…”

As Su Xin was about to speak again, the drunkard over there shook his head, looking like he was about to wake up.

Chu Muyu dodged to the side out of reflex and saw Su Xin, her expression unchanged, pick up the stick she had just thrown on the ground and hit the person with it again, knocking him unconscious once more.

Su Xin tossed the stick aside. She was still very measured in her strike; it was just to make him pass out.

The person was lying face-up on the ground. Su Xin walked over and stomped heavily on that place.

The unconscious drunkard convulsed a few times from the pain in his body but still did not wake up.

Damn it, Master Fourteen, let me tell you, I hate this kind of person the most.

To hell with your rape and drugging! To hell with your molestation! To hell with your pedophilia! They can all just go to hell!

Chop off all the dicks of the men, and chop off all the breasts of the women!

Although today it was the already-adult Chu Muyu, in Su Xin’s memory, there had once been dark recollections.

The corpse of a child covered in scars, abandoned in a dark corner on a rainy day.

Su Xin closed her eyes, unwilling to think back on it again.

The law of the Modai Wangchao²: For the rape of a young girl under the age of twelve, thereby causing death, and for luring away and forcibly raping a young girl not yet ten years of age, they shall be beheaded according to the guanggun li zhan jue³; for those who rape a young girl under the age of twelve but over the age of ten, they shall be sentenced to zhan jian hou⁴.

And now?

【Host, are you okay?】

Yeah.

Su Xin stomped two more times to vent her anger, then stood to the side, maintaining a distance from Chu Muyu that was neither far nor near, waiting for the arrival of the law enforcers.

Chu Muyu was stunned by Su Xin’s earlier actions.

That appearance, as if the man lying on the ground had some deep-seated hatred with her, yet clearly, she was the one who had almost been in peril.

“Lin Xiaohuan…”

“Hm?”

“Why are you here?”

“Just passing by.”

“Are you… still concerned about me?”

“It’s just humanitarian concern. Even if it weren’t you, I would have helped.”

“Add me back, okay?”

Su Xin hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

“They’re here. I’ll accompany you. After this is over, I’ll leave.”

“Where are you going later? Where have you moved to?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

Su Xin’s attitude was cold. She leaned to one side, and no matter what else Chu Muyu said, she did not speak again.

Chu Muyu has fallen for her?

She has.

A shallow affection, a superficial fluttering of the heart.

Master Fourteen, can this also be judged as a success? What if she’s joking?

【It is decided based on the degree of the client’s hope. Joking behavior will not be counted.】

Is that so.

Lin Xiaohuan hoped for Chu Muyu to fall in love with her, but Chu Muyu’s love came easily.

A person’s emotions fluctuate very quickly. Perhaps in an instant, Chu Muyu’s feelings reached the level of love, but it is very easy for people to have hot blood rush to their heads.

Perhaps after cooling down, the emotion would no longer reach such a high level.

The people from the police station arrived quickly after receiving the report. Seeing the scene, the situation was clear at a glance.

One young woman was trembling, her clothes disheveled, looking very wretched—the clear image of a victim. The person suspected of harboring ill intentions was lying unconscious on the ground, with a stick not far away.

Another young woman was pressed against the wall, warily watching the ground, the weapon on the ground not far from her hand.

“I’m the one who reported it. I just saw this person attempting to… so I called the police. But I realized that if I didn’t stop him, it would be too late, so I just found a stick from over there and knocked him out.”

Su Xin clearly stated the process.

“If it’s convenient, could you come back with us to make a statement?”

“Okay, but can you let me go buy a piece of clothing first?”

Su Xin pointed to the small supermarket not far away. Although the things inside weren’t very expensive and didn’t match Chu Muyu’s style at all, who told her to wear an ultra-thin model? There was nothing to be done if it got ruined.

Chu Muyu’s ears were slightly red, and she uncomfortably turned her face to one side.

The two young pianjing⁵ indicated their understanding and very gentlemanly turned their bodies to one side.

Su Xin quickly ran to the small supermarket to buy what she needed, then ran back.

After Chu Muyu quickly changed her clothes in a corner, she got into the car with Su Xin.

As they were coming out after giving their statements, Su Xin received a call from Chu Yanxi.

“Where are you?”

“You’re home?”

“En.”

“I went out for a bit, bought some things. I’ll be back right away.”

“Okay.”

Su Xin put her phone back in her pocket and saw Chu Muyu’s incredulous gaze at her side.

“You’re living with that woman?”

“What does it have to do with you?”

Su Xin looked at the road, waiting for a taxi.

“Why didn’t you tell her the truth?”

“There’s no need to let her know about you.”

Su Xin frowned and unlocked her phone.

“What, is an ex-girlfriend very embarrassing?”

Chu Muyu didn’t know what kind of mentality she was in when she said this sentence, which was filled with a thick sense of mockery. Her heart was filled with a hundred different flavors.

What did she mean, there was no need to let others know about her?

Was her existence very embarrassing? Was their past something that couldn’t see the light?⁶ What would happen if she had liked her?

“You are not my ex-girlfriend.”

“Oh, the previous object of affection.”

“I don’t want to stand here and listen to you speak in that passive-aggressive⁷ way.”

“I don’t want to talk to you like this either, ah. You clearly ran over to save me, which means you’ve been concerned about me all along. So why did you delete me as a friend, why did you block me and not answer my calls?”

Why be good to her and then leave, why can’t we reconcile?

“You’re overthinking it. I wasn’t following you at all, I wasn’t concerned about you at all. In short… I’m not talking to you anymore. You did not see me tonight, understand?”

After Su Xin said this, she ran off in a bit of a panic.

Chu Muyu watched her run far away and squatted down, feeling a bit weak.

She didn’t want to use that kind of tone; she didn’t know why either.

So angry, ah, and… so jealous, ah.

Lin Xiaohuan is actually living with that wild woman who came from who knows where. That woman even left marks on her body.

Lin Xiaohuan is so well-behaved, she must be very obedient.

And Lin Xiaohuan is actually unwilling to let that woman know about their past. She’s truly too heartless, ah.

Chu Muyu took a deep breath and stood up, holding her bag and walking forward. As she walked, she suddenly felt that something was not right.

Lin Xiaohuan’s reaction just now… was not just nervousness, but also fear!

She can’t let that woman know of her existence? Why? It would be understandable if they were love rivals… but why can’t she say they met? She was just saving someone, ah.

Unless… unless that woman is unwilling.

And that woman makes Lin Xiaohuan very scared!

Lin Xiaohuan is indeed worried about her, but she had to speak like that, hemming and hawing, what is she hiding from her?

Lin Xiaohuan, what exactly are you trying to do?
