Capítulo 26: A Kidnapping?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Ding dong! Detected that the host is reading a magazine on Chinese martial arts. Reward: The Eight Trigrams Palm Martial Art]
Cui Si woke up from her daze and her eyes were now wide open in surprise. Wasn't she asleep? How could she get a reward while sleeping?
She finally saw the magazine in her hands and realized what had happened.
Last night, she had some trouble sleeping and decided to pick up a martial arts magazine to read. Eventually, she managed to fall asleep but she was still holding the magazine in her hands.
"System, it was a mistake this time. Can't you ignore this once and allow me to select another?"
Cui Si was full of expectation. It was just a moment of carelessness, so the system probably wouldn't take it seriously.
[Ding dong! Do you think this is a market? Once you have read something, it is registered in the system. There is no turning back.]
"But, I didn't read it. System, please don't be so unreasonable."
Cui Si waited for a reply, but the system ignored her.
Eight Trigrams Palm Martial Art? What's the use of this? Cui Si threw the magazine into the trash can in frustration.
Ring...ring...ring...
Cui Si looked at the name on the phone and frowned. After so many years of not contacting each other, why was this person suddenly calling her?
"Hello, Cui Si, I'm Zhang Mengmeng. You haven't forgotten me, right?"
Memories started to flash through Cui Si's mind. The two girls were roommates in university and had been on good terms for four years.
However, ever since they stepped into society, everything changed and the relationship between the two of them had gradually become estranged.
"Cui Si, are you listening?"
Cui Si came back to her senses and became curious as to why Zhang Mengmeng was looking for her all of a sudden.
"Mengmeng, how could I forget you? What's the matter?"
A laugh came from the phone. Zhang Mengmeng was as cheerful as always.
"Nothing much. It's just that I haven't contacted you for a long time and wanted to see if you want to meet and catch up."
...
Tianhai Century City of Commerce.
The moment Cui Si parked her car, Zhang Mengmeng quickly ran over and looked at the McLaren in disbelief. This was Cui Si's car?
It had only been a few years since they last met, but Cui Si had already reached this level?
It seemed that Chen Lin did not lie to her. Cui Si had really become an upper class person. Zhang Mengmeng's eyes were filled with jealousy.
The reason she had contacted Cui Si was because of what she had heard from Chen Lin and that fat woman.
Cui Si got out of the car and looked at the shocked Zhang Mengmeng, smiling awkwardly.
"Mengmeng, long time no see. You're getting prettier by the day. Sorry I have been so busy that I hadn't been able to meet up with you."
Only then did Zhang Mengmeng come back to her senses. She quickly went up to Cui Si with a smile.
Time was limited. She had to win Cui Si's trust in a short period of time. Otherwise, she would get in trouble with Chen Lin and the others.
The two of them went to the restaurant they had agreed on. After they had taken a seat and their orders had arrived, they ate and chatted.
Cui Si found Zhang Mengmeng acting a little strangely. Moreover, she had been receiving some mysterious calls and texts.
After receiving another call, Zhang Mengmeng asked anxiously, "Cui Si, I have some urgent matters at home. Can you send me home?"
Tears started to well up in her eyes. It seemed that something big had really happened at home as she seemed very anxious.
Cui Si did not think too much about it. They had been friends for so many years and didn't think Zhang Mengmeng would harm her.
Zhang Mengmeng helped Cui Si navigate the roads and soon they arrived at a factory that looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
"Mengmeng, are you sure you live here?" Cui Si was a little puzzled.
"Cui Si, my family went bankrupt and we had no choice but to move here." Zhang Mengmeng hurriedly explained. It hadn't been easy for her to get Cui Si to tag along with her.
Despite Mengmeng's explanation, Cui Si did not quite believe it. Zhang Mengmeng was such a proud person, how could she come to live here?
"Mengmeng, tell me the truth now, while we are still friends. Perhaps I can help you out?
Zhang Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of determination appeared in her eyes. Things had already come to this point. There was no turning back now.
The current Zhang Mengmeng only wanted to get money from Cui Si. Moreover, Chen Lin and that fat woman promised that they would handle everything properly afterward. They assured there wouldn't be any problems.
"Cui Si, why would I lie to you?"
Zhang Mengmeng opened the car door and got out. She said, "Can you give me a hand? My mother is seriously ill and needs to go to the hospital now. I can't lift her by myself."
Cui Si decided to believe her this time. She got out of the car and followed Zhang Mengmeng into the building.
The moment they entered, the door closed behind them and Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua walked out with a gang of people.
"Mengmeng, you did well. We will definitely deliver what we promised you."
Chen Lin complimented Zhang Mengmeng and walked to Cui Si, full of pride and schadenfreude.
"Cui Si, we meet again. Where's your gigolo? Why isn't he here to protect you this time?"
