I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 87

Wen Yunqing was immune to both soft and hard tactics. Regardless of whether it was Mu Kuan’s gentle persuasion or his subtle threats, she maintained an indifferent attitude. She would not hold back against anyone who opposed her, with the bare minimum guarantee being that she wouldn’t actually kill them.

Mu Kuan tried hard for over half an hour before choosing to give up. After all, the value Wen Yunqing currently displayed was extremely high. A person like her must either be pacified or completely eliminated.

Clearly, Mu Kuan had made his choice. In order to keep Wen Yunqing under even slight restraint, he could only choose to yield.

“By the way, I lost over twenty million yuan trying to capture that Black Wolf. Can I apply for reimbursement?” After enduring the lengthy lecture, Wen Yunqing presented her demand. “If it cannot be reimbursed, I presume I can ask the individual himself for compensation, correct?”

“Loss of over twenty million yuan?” Mu Kuan’s eyelid twitched. “Was something damaged during the fight? Such a large amount, even with a legitimate reason, may not be approved.”

“I damaged two high-quality jade artifacts of mine. Conservatively estimating, each is worth around twenty million yuan,” Wen Yunqing slightly inflated the price. “Of course, as a member of the Special Affairs Department, I certainly won’t ask for the full price compensation. I only need half the amount.”

Wen Yunqing looked at Mu Kuan with a smile. “Captain Mu, I have already voluntarily reduced the compensation. The Special Affairs Department surely wouldn’t expect me to bear the entire loss alone, would it?”

Mu Kuan was choked up. “Do you have anything that can prove the value of the jade and confirm that it was damaged during the combat?”

“The value can be proven, yes. I have similar jade pieces that I can let you get a simple appraisal for,” Wen Yunqing said. Seeing the look of difficulty on Mu Kuan’s face, she couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

“The Black Wolf’s power was strong. I couldn’t focus on too many things while fighting him, so I didn’t keep any evidence. But I can swear that these two jade pieces were damaged because of the Black Wolf.”

After all, these two jade talismans were used on the Black Wolf; naturally, it can be said they were damaged because of him.

Upon hearing the word “swear,” Mu Kuan was mostly convinced. Practitioners of cultivation placed great importance on karma. If one went through the formal process of taking an oath, it would be noticed by the Way of Heaven (Tiandao).

“I will try my best to apply for it, but I must tell you beforehand, the maximum we can approve is likely only one million yuan. The organization will likely instruct you to seek the remaining amount from the person himself,” Mu Kuan said, already mentally calculating where he could scrape together one million yuan.

I’ve got it! Since the Black Wolf was the wrongdoer, and he was currently confined at the Special Affairs Department without clothes, I’ll find an excuse to fine him two million yuan later. That way, after setting aside one million, the Special Affairs Department will still earn one million! Brilliant!

Wen Yunqing, unaware of Mu Kuan’s scheming, was still delighted that she had successfully fleeced a little money.

After leaving Mu Kuan’s office, Wen Yunqing was quickly surrounded by several of her team members. Seeing their faces filled with admiration, Wen Yunqing’s lips unconsciously curved upwards.

“Are you all so idle? Do you have nothing to do?” Wen Yunqing asked, feigning seriousness.

“No, no! We were worried about you, Captain! You’re fine, aren’t you?” Huang Shu asked in a very fawning manner. He was now thoroughly convinced of her capabilities.

“I am perfectly fine, of course,” Wen Yunqing smiled at Huang Shu. “However, I have a task I’d like to entrust to you. Can you help me?”

“Captain, I can help you too!”

“Captain, I have plenty of time recently. Why not let me share your burden?”

“I, Old Xiong, happen to be free lately, Captain! Just give the order!” Wu Jin and the other team members spoke up, unwilling to be left behind.

Wen Yunqing nodded. “Then I shall entrust this task to you: Go and ask the Black Wolf for compensation on my behalf. Ask for nineteen million yuan. Once the money arrives, then you can let him go.”

“Understood, Captain! I will definitely handle it!” Huang Shu was the first to respond. It was just asking for money; he surely wouldn’t have any trouble!

“Don’t worry, Captain. The money will be transferred to the Vice-Captain’s account in less than three days!” Wu Jin, as the only person who possessed Wen Yimeng’s bank account details, spoke with more confidence than the others.

Wen Yunqing nodded, ignoring the rather helpless Mu Kuan off to the side, and pulled out a Spirit Gathering Talisman (Julingu). “Here, take this Spirit Gathering Talisman. Once activated, it should last for a month. You can arrange the time yourselves.”

Creating a Spirit Gathering Talisman was not difficult for Wen Yunqing, but she knew very well the temptation these talismans held for them, so she had to control the quantity. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be valuable anymore.

By the time Wen Yunqing left the Special Affairs Department and returned to the dorm, it was already afternoon. Wen Yimeng was curled up in her chair, watching a variety show on her computer.

“Yunqing, look! The filming location for this episode is the same film studio we visited,” Wen Yimeng moved her armchair to the side, intending to free up a space.

“No need, stand up,” Wen Yunqing said. Once Wen Yimeng stood, she sat down in the armchair herself, then pulled her girlfriend into her lap.

“The view is better like this,” Wen Yunqing said with a smile.

Wen Yimeng naturally leaned against Wen Yunqing and continued, “Look at the background—isn’t that the same owner we encountered before?”

Wen Yunqing stared at the computer screen, squinting slightly. “Did this owner put up a new bronze statue? Isn’t he afraid of it being won away again?”

“Not everyone is as amazing as you. These people have challenged it already. Each person got twenty rings, and on average, they only managed to ring three small, front-row items. Not a single ring landed on the bronze statue.”

Wen Yunqing nodded, then rested her chin on her girlfriend’s neck. The unique fragrance quickly invaded her olfactory senses as she watched the variety show with Wen Yimeng.

After twenty minutes of watching, Wen Yunqing understood that these so-called reality shows definitely had a script. Otherwise, why couldn’t these people even solve a simple quadratic equation? They had to call for external aid and assistance from the outside world, only solving it in the final countdown.

“Oh, the next episode seems to be filming in Jing City! Do you think they might come to our school?” Wen Yimeng scrolled through Weibo and saw the preview for the next episode.

“Probably not. Doesn’t Jing City have a Communications University? They’ll probably film there,” Wen Yunqing looked at the phone screen without reserve. “If they film next Wednesday, is three days enough for editing?”

“Of course not. This is just the filming for the next episode. When it actually airs, it will probably be a month from now,” Wen Yimeng clicked into the comments section and saw that many people were commenting, mostly hoping the production team would film at their own schools.

“You seem to be right. It looks like it will be the Communications University. The official account ‘liked’ that comment.” Although Wen Yimeng knew the result, she was still a little disappointed. “What a shame. I won’t get to see the celebrities up close.”

Wen Yunqing rubbed her nose against her girlfriend’s neck. “We don’t have classes on Wednesday afternoon either, do we? If you want to go, should we go take a look at the Communications University?”

“There will probably be a lot of people then…” Wen Yimeng was tempted.

“It’s fine. If we can’t get in, we’ll just climb the wall. An electric fence at that height is no problem for me,” Wen Yunqing said, and after thinking for a moment, she added, “I can easily get over it even while carrying you.”

“Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we got caught?” Wen Yimeng fell into a brief internal struggle. Ever since she got together with Wen Yunqing, the things she did seemed to be getting more and more outrageous.

“Simple—just don’t get caught,” Wen Yunqing quickly added the wall-climbing plan to their schedule.

Liang You, being an experienced internet user, naturally knew this news. When she accidentally overheard Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng discussing going to the Communications University, she smiled and came over.

“I heard about this too. It seems they will be filming from afternoon until evening. The school even set up new gate controls, requiring campus cards for student entry and exit that day,” Liang You said. “Have you figured out how to get in?”

Wen Yimeng certainly couldn’t mention that they planned to climb the wall, so she shook her head. “We plan to wait and see then. There should be a way to sneak in.”

“Oh, so you haven’t figured out a way yet? Then leave it to me!” Liang You had been waiting for that phrase. She confidently announced, “I know a classmate at Communications University. She has already agreed to lend me a few campus cards. We can walk in legitimately by swiping the cards.”

“Wow, really?” Wen Yimeng suddenly realized that Liang You was suggesting the most common method. Why hadn’t she thought of it then? Instead, she had simply followed Wen Yunqing’s train of thought and gone straight to contemplating the feasibility of climbing the wall.

Was she being assimilated, or had she become stupid because she was in love?

Before the answer to the question could be found, Wednesday arrived. Liang You had initially wanted to bring Zhang Pan along to see the big stars, but unexpectedly, Zhang Pan pulled out an employee work badge at that moment.

“Well, the bar owner seems to be someone in the entertainment industry. She recommended me for a part-time job,” Zhang Pan said, scratching her head. “I only found out today, so I didn’t have time to tell you.”

“No worries, no worries! But Old Zhang, we’ve shared a bed for so many days; you wouldn’t mind helping me with a small favor, would you?” Liang You suddenly grew excited, looking at Zhang Pan with gleaming eyes.

Zhang Pan nodded. “Of course. What do you need me to do?”

“Hehehe, it’s really nothing major. You can take photos while you’re working, right? If you just keep within the permitted scope…” Liang You pulled Zhang Pan aside and whispered many things, then seriously patted Zhang Pan’s shoulder.

“Comrade Old Zhang, after you succeed, I’ll treat you to a huge meal! The kind that fills you up!”
