After saying that, Ye Meng closed the car door.
This group of people seemed very confident in their own abilities, shutting Ye Shaohua out of their world, thinking that she truly didn’t know anything.
And it was true that the original owner didn’t know.
But that wasn’t Ye Shaohua.
“Gambling on rough stones… no wonder.” Ye Shaohua tucked her hands into her pockets and narrowed her eyes slightly.
It looks like this is another hidden world.
She knew that the further she went, the more difficult the worlds would become, so she didn’t take this world lightly. After all, clearing Fei Sheng’s falsely accused name is no simple task for any mission taker.
But she never expected…
That this world actually has something like gambling on rough stones!
The original owner’s memory had absolutely nothing about gambling on rough stones.
“Ms. Ye, where to?” After Ye Shaohua got into her own car, the driver asked respectfully.
If Yin Tianyu and his group were here right now, they’d be absolutely shocked.
Ye Shaohua pulled out her phone, flipped it around a couple of times, and projected a flat interface onto the back of the seat, which instantly turned into a miniature computer. She reached out and typed a few lines of code on it.
She quickly searched up an address.
008 had originally wanted to speak up and tell Ye Shaohua the address of the gambling market, but seeing her in action, it immediately stayed quiet.
In the entire system realm, has there ever been a host this worry-free?
It wanted to offer her the answer for free, but she didn’t even need it.
More and more, 008 felt that besides issuing missions, it had no other purpose.
[Host, I feel like my existence has no meaning,] 008 said, a little dejectedly. [You’re making me question my own existence.]
Ye Shaohua gave the driver an address. Hearing 008’s words, she paused for a moment.
Then she responded.
“Sorry, I’m just not used to relying on something,” Ye Shaohua said seriously. “After all, if you ever leave me, I don’t want to feel like something’s missing.”
008: [……] With that kind of mindset, what exactly has its host been through?
But it didn’t dwell on it.
After all, its host had hidden her past tightly. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t get anything out of her. The Pantheon of Ten Thousand Gods was only discovered by accident when that world collapsed, revealing one of her hidden identities.
The gambling market was in the black market, a place typically only dared to be visited by the wealthy and powerful.
If an ordinary person wandered in for no reason and ended up gambling on a stone worth a fortune, they probably wouldn’t make it out of that black market alive.
“Mr. Yun, is this shipment from Continent F?” A business tycoon arrived with several gambling masters and greeted Yun Qinghe with a respectful salute.
If any outsider were here, they would be amazed by this scene.
This business tycoon was the nation’s richest man. Though he didn’t live permanently in Qingcheng, he was still a fearsome figure there. Yet here he was, being unusually respectful and polite to one man.
Yun Qinghe nodded slightly, a casual look on his face. “That’s right. Everyone, feel free to have some fun.”
The business tycoon didn’t feel slighted at all; instead, he smiled cheerfully. “Of course.”
The two chatted as they walked further inside.
Other prominent figures in Qing City didn’t dare approach the pair.
“Oh? Isn’t that Ye Qing?” The business tycoon noticed a few people entering not far away.
When Yun Qinghe heard the name Ye Qing, he glanced over, but since he didn’t spot the person he was looking for among the crowd, he turned back without much interest.
The business tycoon thought he might be interested in those people and offered some information. “Mr. Yun, the woman next to Ye Qing is his daughter. She’s the daughter of the famous policewoman from B City back in the day. But his daughter is quite remarkable. A little over a week ago, I crossed paths with them at the gambling market in F City. That daughter of his opened seven rough stones in one night, and every single one showed green. She was even better than the old hands there. It’s become quite a legendary tale in F City.”
After he finished speaking, the group following Yun Qinghe all looked surprised.
Zhuo Ping marveled, “Something like that actually happened? Seven stones without a single wrong guess—that can’t just be luck, right?”
If it wasn’t luck, then it meant she had some real skill.
With that thought, he looked at Ye Meng with much more favorable eyes.
The others around him naturally began making their own calculations. As he said this, they started drifting closer to Ye Meng and her group.
“Boss, another wave of people is coming over,” someone reported.
Sun Wenhai frowned and, along with the Qing Gang members, silently positioned Ye Meng at the very center of their group. “They’re probably all here because of Xiaomeng.”
At that remark, the gang members and Yin Tianyu all turned to look at Ye Meng.
Their gazes held a strange, purple-tinged fascination.
Especially Yin Tianyu.
He had initially noticed Ye Meng simply because she was Ye Shaohua’s half-sister and was a completely different type from Ye Shaohua.
He was used to people clinging to him for his looks and status. Countless actresses in the entertainment industry wanted to latch onto him, stir up rumors, and create scandals. Yin Tianyu usually didn’t pay them much mind.
But Ye Meng was completely different from those people. She never treated him differently because of who he was, and that made being with her feel more relaxed and different from being with anyone else.
And then there was that time last time when he was filming in F City. He never expected to run into Ye Meng at the black market there.
At that moment, Ye Meng had been the center of attention.
She picked out seven stones in one night, every single one showed green, and each was a variety worth over ten million.
That only made Yin Tianyu feel like he couldn’t quite figure out this mysterious yet seemingly straightforward mafia princess. As a result, compared to the utterly unremarkable Ye Shaohua, who was being manipulated without even realizing it, Ye Meng was far more appealing to him.
