Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 242 Enjoy it first

Zhang Xiuru, of course, had no idea that the perpetrator she reported was not Han Xi at all, but police officer Shen Tong.

She only recognized the motorcycle in the surveillance footage.

The secret room itself was monitored, so the fight between Zheng Ming and Zhang Dian that day was naturally recorded.

Two hours after Zhang Dian went missing, Zhang Xiuru went to the secret room, reviewed the surveillance footage, and found the clip of Han Xi entering earlier.

So she guessed that Zhang Dian had probably been tricked by Han Xi, so she contacted her backup confidant to find out Zhang Dian's whereabouts.

It was this person who filmed the entire process of Shen Tong speeding on his motorcycle and causing the accident.

The person in the video, fully armed with a helmet, had an unclear face, but Zhang Xiuru recognized the helmet and the vehicle; they belonged to the Han family.

In other words, it was either Han Xi or the man she was with who drove it.

After exchanging words with Han Xi over the phone, Zhang Xiuru wasn't really confident.

So she decided to increase her stakes and dialed a mysterious, unknown number.

After the call connected, a hoarse, gloomy male voice came from the other end: "Hello..."

"We have an order, should we take it?" Zhang Xiuru asked anxiously.

"Quote..." The other party spoke concisely, but it sounded like the typical voice of a bad guy.

"One hundred thousand." Zhang Xiuru gritted her teeth.

"What kind of work?"

"Tie someone up for me!"

"received!"

The only way to get Han Xi under control now is to tie up the person most important to her, so that she can have absolute bargaining power.

At this moment, Lu He was unaware that her stepmother had already begun to target the most important person in her life.

"Is this pretty?" Lu He held up a beautiful jade pendant in front of Xia Lan's chest.

"It's beautiful..." Xia Lan looked at the emerald green jade pendant Lu He had chosen for her, wanting to express her dislike but afraid of spoiling the mood: "But it might not suit me..."

To be honest, such a big green sign looks too old-fashioned.

Lu He examined it carefully: "That's true... but this time I'm from a wealthy family, I don't know if I'll have money for the next time I travel through time." Lu He then thought: "Why don't I enjoy myself first?"

So she chose a more expensive gold-inlaid jade pendant, which was also a large "nothing to worry about" plaque.

"Here you go, and give me the one from before~" Lu He said with satisfaction, gesturing to the two of them again.

Xia Lan smiled and nodded. Since she was so happy, she would wear it then. After all, being happy was the most important thing!

The saleswoman at the counter was overjoyed. Seeing that the two of them had chosen the most expensive style in the entire store, she knew that this was going to be a big sale for them.

He hurriedly followed them around, serving tea and water, telling them to be careful, and even taking out various other accessories from the shop for the two young ladies to try on.

"Distinguished guests, would you like to take a look at these bracelets, these are some of the finest jadeite..."

Lu He waved her hand, saying that jade bracelets were too cumbersome. The two of them were out and about every day doing missions, sometimes even fighting, so wearing such bracelets was completely inconvenient.

"What about earrings? We also have gold-inlaid jade..." The saleswoman persisted, trying to sell again.

At this moment, the ring counter that Lu He passed by caught his attention.

"Are there any particularly nice rings among yours?"

"Uh, miss, these are wedding rings... the single ring is over here..."

"I'm going to practice the precepts..." Lu He looked at the rules, smiled shyly, and said with certainty.

The saleswoman quickly scanned the couple's awkward expressions and immediately understood: "Yes, yes, yes, we have a few wedding rings that would be perfect for you two. Let me show you."

At this moment, Zheng Ming also came into the store from outside, looking for Lu He and Xia Lan.

When Zheng Ming said he had something urgent to discuss with them, Lu He gave him her location.

"My little darlings, you're still shopping here..." He said, pulling out a stack of documents from his pocket and waving them in his hand: "I've made a new discovery, hurry up and get to it."

"How about we buy it next time? Let's do it today..." Xia Lan tugged at Lu He's hand.

"Oh no, we have to buy it today, and we have to wear it today. It doesn't matter if the documents are a few minutes earlier or later~ sweetie~" Lu He smiled indulgently and touched Xia Lan's face.

"Hey, you called me over just to bully single people?" Zheng Ming was displeased by their lovey-dovey behavior.

Lu He chuckled and held up the black card with the Han family logo: "Thanks for your hard work, Detective Zheng. Pick anything you like in the shop; it's on me today!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ming immediately changed his tune, all his previous fatigue and dissatisfaction vanishing, his eyes shining like a lackey's: "Alright, alright, it's all what I should do. You're too kind, Miss. Then I won't be polite~"

Although Zheng Ming is single, he is not without a sweetheart, so he is taking the opportunity to pick out some expensive jewelry for his future wife.

"Is any amount of money okay?" Zheng Ming asked, still not entirely convinced. "Is there a limit?"

"Hmm~ No upper limit~" Lu Hehua was happy to spend the money. After all, she had never experienced the life of a tycoon, the thrill of buying up an entire shopping mall or gold shop at will. Ordinary people would never have the chance to experience that in their lifetime.

Moreover, the black card that Old Man Han gave me is enough to buy several of these gold shops.

Today, he's brought prosperity to everyone, including his cronies, and he's taking Zheng Ming along to experience the thrill of being a super-rich man.

The saleswoman, of course, also noticed the Korean logo on the black card at a glance. She bowed and asked Lu He, "Miss Han, why didn't you go directly to the VIP store today? Why did you come to a small shop like ours?"

Huh? VIP storefront? What's that? Lu He forced a smile and said, "I just happened to be browsing around here..."

Otherwise, what could she say? It's her first time being a millionaire, she doesn't quite understand.

"Just give us a heads-up, and we'll send a private car to take you there. They have more high-end styles over there, and since it's not open to the public, you won't be disturbed and can focus on choosing your items," the saleswoman continued, trying to ingratiate herself.

But Lu He just wanted her to shut up, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. Sure enough, people who have never been rich can't imagine the world of the rich.

"Well, I'm in a good mood today, and you've worked hard, so why don't you pick one out for me? I'll give it to you." Lu He just hoped that she would focus her attention elsewhere at this moment.

This tactic really worked, and the saleswoman quickly joined Zheng Ming's group.

The other saleswomen in the store were insanely jealous.

At this moment, a man wearing a black baseball cap was smoking outside the store, silently observing Lu He's every move inside.
