The Improper Strategy of Yandere

As a young lady raised in seclusion, Zheng Xueyuan is quite good in dealing with people. She can quickly get close to people, be warm and polite, and do a good job on the surface.

Apart from being a little boastful about herself... He Xiao thought silently, the problem with Miss Zheng was that she was too immature, especially when it came to the chain of interests.

But we can't blame her too much. After all, she is just a girl in her early twenties. She is usually protected by her elders and rarely comes into contact with these things... She can't be compared with a real old fox.

But the last time he sent me a photo of himself in pajamas, he seemed much more mature... At least he had no intention of having a relationship with me, but was going straight to the point of protecting his own interests.

This is much more touching than any enthusiastic solicitation.

"Zheng Xueyuan, don't say it's an earthquake. Just say that the evil spirit that has been chasing you is cursing you. There will be a natural disaster on August 17th. Ask your second uncle to be prepared."

He Xiao spoke calmly and smiled, "Then he will treat it as a joke, arrogantly sneer at it and forget about it. He will only react when the disaster really happens."

"Such a warning will not have any effect." Natalia couldn't help but interrupt. She didn't know Zheng Xueyuan's second uncle, but she knew bureaucrats.

They were like zombies freshly unearthed from their coffins, lying there arrogantly without moving, waiting to be chopped into pieces and carefully studied to see why they had not yet rotted into ashes.

"When Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, he was also regarded as a madman. It was hundreds of years later that he conquered Rome." He Xiao turned a page of the document, on which was printed a headshot of Zheng Zhinian.

With the smile on his face, he said confidently: "We have plenty of time. As the prophecy comes true, we will soon gain true respect."

"But...someone will get hurt, right?"

Zheng Xueyuan was a little hesitant. Earthquake was such a scary word. She had not been haunted by ghosts when she was a child. She had visited the disaster area with her father, which left a deep impression on her.

She believed that good would be rewarded and evil would be punished, and that being gentle, friendly and helping the weak were virtues. Now that she knew that the disaster was going to happen, what reason was there not to prepare to help the victims?

"He Xiao, we should save those people." Natalia grabbed He Xiao's sleeve, her lake blue eyes sparkling and clear.

He Xiao's breathing stagnated. He was not a cold-blooded person, but it was indeed difficult for him to have much empathy towards strangers. Besides...

Even the slightest changes to history could lead to huge changes in the future. The more frequently he uses his predictive abilities, the greater the damage caused by the butterfly effect will be.

In the end, the future will become something he cannot predict, which will not be good for him.

"Eh..." He Xiao sighed, but still said helplessly: "You are right, we should do something."

Sister Xi Nanfeng seldom preaches, but she has always taught him through her own actions to be an honest and kind person. He Xiao thinks he has not done well, but he is willing to change to the best of his ability.

"Zheng Xueyuan, you need to talk to your grandmother about this and ask her to have your second uncle hold a disaster drill on August 17th and pay attention to evacuating the residents of the slums."

"You can still use the theory of ghosts and gods, but you must also emphasize the objective facts. There are many heavy rains in summer, and the southwest is located in an earthquake zone. Talk about science and let the old man persuade your second uncle."

He Xiao considered and said, "The second thing is to mobilize medical and emergency resources in advance. I have about 30 million now, which is enough to prepare sufficient supplies in three cities near the epicenter."

"I will compensate you with the money." Zheng Xueyuan said sincerely. She had more money and He Xiao had less. How could she let the young man pay?

The eldest lady is very stylish. She gave tens of millions of dollars without hesitation. Natalia bit her pink lips and was speechless. She also had an investment in He Xiao and entrusted him to trade stocks on her behalf.

Although she wanted to contribute, the money was intended for the people of Rakshasa.

"No, no." He Xiao chuckled and waved his hand, his eyes cold.

"Let your uncle pay for this. I won't make money without conscience. It's the right amount, no increase in price! He will definitely pay promptly."

In his previous life, Zheng Zhinian was slow to react when it came to disaster relief, resulting in a large number of civilians being left homeless due to damaged houses, and even lacking necessary supplies due to paralyzed traffic arteries.

"This way, Second Uncle can also benefit, and he won't be panicked when he suffers a loss." Zheng Xueyuan didn't think too much about it and sat opposite He Xiao excitedly.

"He Xiao, according to your plan, I can accumulate a lot of reputation. Although I may look a bit like a charlatan, at least I won't be the unpopular invisible person in the family."

He Xiao nodded heavily, unfolded the document page, and said with a smile: "These reputations are only the most important, and the second is making money."

"Money? I have more than a billion in stocks, funds, houses..." The rich woman opposite said with a smile: "These are still increasing in value. The stock market will not calm down until the end of August."

"There is not much room for growth." He Xiao shook his head. It was not accurate to say that the stock market was doing well, but rather that the arms, heavy industry and short-term government bonds were doing well.

Apart from this, the situation was in a state of depression, all because of the "Penglai Crisis" that began in May. The fleets of Oceania and Lan Fang were confronting each other in the Pacific Ocean, and this farce would not end until the end of August with a friendly statement.

It is only July now, and Miss Zheng already knows the exact time when the crisis will end and is preparing to withdraw funds from the stock market in advance... It seems that this is also a long-planned pig-killing conspiracy.

"Your money should be converted into cash flow as soon as possible. Let's go buy transportation capacity." He Xiao pointed to the map on the plan and said, "This is the land artery between Lan Fang and Indochina."

"But this railway line will be cut off in many places due to secondary disasters brought about by earthquakes and heavy rains, such as mudslides, landslides, floods and barrier lakes."

"By then, millions of tons of cargo will be stranded in the area, and tens of millions of tons of bulk commodities will be cut off from circulation. Haha... They will have to choose to take a detour, and we will buy nearby railway and road transport capacity."

"We buy shipping capacity and then sell it?" Zheng Xueyuan frowned and said with some embarrassment: "But I don't have the ability to organize such a transaction. Can you do it, He Xiao?"

Her subordinates are all maids and bodyguards, and it is impossible for anyone to organize such a business.

"We don't need to do it." He Xiao sneered, "The most anxious ones are not the carriers, but the insurance companies. We just need to buy the shipping capacity and then sell it to the insurance companies at double the price."

Bulk cargo transactions are always insured. If these goods fail to arrive at the destination on time, the insurance company will undoubtedly be the one who suffers the most.

As far as He Xiao knew in his previous life, the earthquake paralyzed railway traffic in just seventeen days and the damage to goods caused the insurance companies to pay a total of 800 million yuan in compensation.

"I want to save the disaster victims, I want to make money, and I want to carry your second uncle's fancy sedan chair." He Xiao closed the plan and said to himself: This is just the first step.

Chapter 200: Doing ideological work for parents

He Xiao's plan was just a draft, and there were still many details that needed to be supplemented - but there was no doubt that this was the first time since Miss Zheng Xueyuan was a child that she was excited to put a plan into practice.

A plan of her own!

Standing gracefully in front of the French window and watching the backs of He Xiao and Nanata going away, Miss Zheng happily flipped through the plan that He Xiao handed to her, but immediately pouted in displeasure: "What are you so happy about?"

Another personality inside was also stirring, and I could feel that Zheng Fujin was also very satisfied with He Xiao's plan...mainly because she was satisfied with him as a person! It was really confusing.

Zheng Xueyuan is actually not very familiar with the other personality. Zheng Fujin is taciturn and never answers questions that are troubling to her.

Only occasionally - to be more precise, when he sees He Xiao - will he show some emotional reaction.

The young lady couldn't help but wonder if there was a sex robot living inside her body that would only start to react when it saw its owner.

Zheng Xueyuan made some malicious guesses, but she knew very well that Zheng Fujin was not that kind of person. The feelings of her other self towards He Xiao were more like... the concern of an elder for a younger generation?

There must be some relationship between He Xiao and the evil ghost that is haunting him, Zheng Xueyuan thought silently, and after a long time he realized that the plan in his hand was wrinkled, and he quickly smoothed it out.

"Grandma, am I free now?" Zheng Xueyuan asked the maid beside her as she walked through the buildings of Jiang Baiyuan with documents in her hand. She really couldn't wait and wanted to share this matter with the real owner of Jiang Baiyuan immediately.

Grandma is my father's mother.

This may sound a bit abstract, but if it was Lan Fang Councillor Zheng’s mother, or the wife of his late grandfather Zheng Yigong, the elderly in Lan Fang would definitely feel familiar: “So it’s her!”

She is also the "big boss" of the Zheng family. Although she has retired from the front line, she still has a great say in this behemoth.

The garden is lush and green. The old man doesn't like air conditioning, he only likes natural wind. Fortunately, the spring river is wide, and occasionally there will be a gentle breeze that makes the flowers rustle.

Zheng Xueyuan followed the path and finally found his grandmother in a pavilion suspended over the water.

With a head full of white hair and a hunched body, she was no different from the old ladies dancing in the square, except that she looked gloomy as she dozed off on the soft chair, and the banana fan in her hand was fanning her slowly, seeming a little dull.

"Grandma, are you asleep?" Zheng Xueyuan walked over lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman opened her eyes. Although her cloudy pupils were old, she still retained her wise look.

"Xue Yuan... have you made an appointment with your little friends?" Grandma Zheng smiled tiredly. The fan in her hand was taken away by her granddaughter, who stood aside and fanned her attentively. Her cheerful demeanor made the old lady feel better.

She was already very old, and her children had all started their own families and careers and were striving for success. Only this poor granddaughter was crazy and was talking to her in this huge garden.

Zheng Xueyuan's parents were completely disappointed in their daughter. She had been suffering from her illness for ten years without any improvement. It was impossible for a schizophrenic girl to inherit the great achievements they had made after working hard for half a lifetime.

So they have given Zheng Xueyuan two younger brothers and rarely take care of her.

But the old man doted on his granddaughter very much and put her in charge of receiving many relatives and even politicians who came to visit. He also advised her to take advantage of the favorable conditions and save up a considerable dowry.

But the question is... where can I find a good son-in-law? The old lady has high standards, and she is not willing to just find some so-called talented people to give to her granddaughter. At least she wants a man with the talent to create a business to be in her eyes.

And He Xiao, who grew up under the protection of his granddaughter, is obviously not among them! He has good grades, and it is said that he can play the piano and practice some swordsmanship... This is indeed good for the people in the old city.

But this was far from enough for his granddaughter, and it was not even enough to offset the old man's aversion to He Xiao - Zheng Xueyuan encountered danger when she was a guest in his home.

Recently, her granddaughter has been clamoring to take over the Lan Fang government... and wants He Xiao to help her?! In the eyes of the old man, it was just a joke. If Zheng Xueyuan likes to play, then go ahead and play. It's no big deal.

As for the plan? The old man put on his reading glasses and flipped through it, revealing a kind smile: "Xue Yuan, what are you and him going to do in Shazhou? Stock up so many supplies... and there are empty cargo trains?"

This plan obviously lacks the most critical part. It seems that the Southwest Railway within the jurisdiction of Shazhou will be cut off by a natural disaster, making people feel that the real estate projects that are being hyped up in the stock market seem reliable.

"Grandma, I think something will happen in Shazhou in mid-August!" Zheng Xueyuan knew that the old lady didn't like this plan very much, so she stamped her feet and explained coquettishly.

"This is the plan written by He Xiao. I think it makes sense. The Southwest Railway is likely to be cut off by a natural disaster! Second Uncle's promotion will be in danger!"

The old man uttered an "oh" and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Xueyuan has been deceived countless times in order to solve his fear of the dark and ghosts. All those immortal masters are eloquent and they wish they could persuade the immortals to come down to earth.

Isn’t the result still a mess?

"Besides, we have to take precautions before it happens! According to He Xiao's plan, not only can we keep Second Uncle's position as Minister of Commerce, but we can also make money. Even if we fail... we won't lose much."

Zheng Xueyuan is good at math. If the earthquake predicted by He Xiao did not happen, then she would have lost a few hundred million at most. In fact, the girl could still accept it, because the amount of money she donated to charity over the years was much more than that.

And there is still a chance of success. Didn't He Xiao perfectly predict every upset in the game last time? The girl didn't have much confidence, but the other self in her heart was very confident...

Zheng Xueyuan, with the mentality of trying everything possible, hugged her grandmother and acted coquettishly.

Forget it... The old man put down the documents, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Only by suffering more losses can his granddaughter see the truth. Besides, Zheng Xueyuan is not the kind of person who acts recklessly. She has a sense of propriety and knows what she can ask for help with.

"How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"Hehe, grandma is the best to me..." Zheng Xueyuan made a few requests according to He Xiao's instructions.

One is to talk to my second uncle about organizing a disaster prevention drill on the day of the natural disaster. It doesn't need to be complicated. It only needs to organize an evacuation in the slums with older buildings.

In this way, casualties will be greatly reduced.

The second thing is to prepare disaster relief supplies in advance. The earthquake will damage many old buildings, so a large number of tents, drinking water and food need to be prepared in advance.

The eldest lady is not short of money, but she has no professional personnel under her command. She is helpless whether it is purchasing these massive supplies or transporting them to the designated warehouse, and needs to borrow some manpower.

Chapter 201 Happy Birthday

"It's rare that Xue Yuan has something she really wants to do." The old man pondered for a moment, but finally agreed to everything. These requests were not excessive. It was more important to let his granddaughter learn a lesson.

She is old, and she hopes that one day she can see Zheng Xueyuan's life settle down and her madness be cured - and there is no need to worry about her granddaughter's other personality at all.

Zheng Fujin is a very stable person. It's a pity that the relationship between the two souls in this body is not harmonious. Otherwise, if they complement each other's strengths, they can take on greater responsibilities.

"There's one more thing." The old man tapped the armrest of the recliner unconsciously with his fingers, making a clicking sound: "Did you send all the information about He Xiao to the 'black room'?"

The black room is the abbreviation of the Zheng family's information protection. People in the world are the sum of social relations, and they will have connections and intersections with all kinds of people.

The security system at the beginning of the last century was not well developed enough, and countless cases of kidnapping and extortion of wealthy people occurred in the Mississippi River Basin, often resulting in the loss of both people and money.

The Zheng family is not afraid of any challenge at the poker table, but they are afraid that thugs will overturn the gambling table, so they choose to vent their anger with extreme means, such as kidnapping, assassination, extortion... there are too many means.

The "black room" came into being. This is a complete system. As long as a person's information is sent in, he is placed under protection and "invisible" in the database. No one can find their detailed information.

The core members of the Zheng family are all under the protection of the "black room" to prevent important information about them and their families from being leaked.

The place in the "black room" is very valuable, and keeping the information protected is by no means without cost. The old man doesn't understand why the boy from the old town is so important to his granddaughter?

It even takes up Zheng Xueyuan's identity as "husband".

"Dark room? That must have been done by the other me." Zheng Xueyuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that this was Zheng Fujin's idea! He glanced at the nearby maid with resentment.

She clearly instructed that Zheng Fujin's every move should be reported!

The maid lowered her head. Zheng Fujin told her not to tell Zheng Xueyuan. The two young ladies were competing in the same body, so she could only pretend to be confused.

Zheng Xueyuan gritted his teeth and said with a stern face: "Grandma, I don't know why Zheng Fujin is so good to He Xiao. If I knew what happened back then, I would definitely be able to cure my illness."

Even destroy the secondary personality! Zheng Fujin's personality was born out of the body's self-protection. Miss Zheng Xueyuan admitted that her other self was a cold-blooded and tough woman.

But she was not willing to share her body with Zheng Fujin. If she knew the specific process of being haunted by the evil ghost, she would definitely be able to find a way to get rid of it!

What would be the need for Zheng Fujin to exist then? Miss Zheng saw the hesitation on the old woman's face and couldn't help but beg, "Grandma! Please talk to me!"

The old man remained silent for a long time before he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Xue Yuan, your information is also in the black room. I don't know the specific process."

This is the truth. Although Miss Zheng does not have core power, she can call the bigwigs in the civil affairs department "Uncle" or "Sister" very naturally.

It is easy for Zheng Xueyuan to investigate a person's life information, but she can't find out her own life experience. What happened ten years ago that the evil spirit haunted her?

Miss Zheng didn't know, so she slowly stopped fanning the palm-leaf fan and handed it to the maid beside her, her voice gentle but her tone firm.

"I know grandma didn't let me know what happened because it was for my own good, but... I've grown up. I'm not a little girl anymore!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will find the truth in my own way." Zheng Xueyuan held the old woman's hand, letting her feel his determination: "I want to be a normal person, no matter what."

The other personality living inside her didn't express any emotions. Was it looking down on herself or simply lacking emotions?

Zheng Xueyuan was a little sad, but he quickly turned his grief and anger into motivation - just wait and see, I will prove my courage and perseverance, and I don't need to be a schizophrenic lunatic to resist evil spirits!

He Xiao didn't know about these things. He just received a message from Miss Zheng Xueyuan when he got home: "Grandma agreed (doge likes)"
