"You call this money? It's just small change, are you giving money to a beggar?"

The woman looked at the coin purse in Xuezhi's hand and became even angrier. She slapped the worn-out purse away, and the coins rolled all over the floor.

"what……"

Xuezhi looked at the coins she had saved through her frugal life scattered all over the ground, and immediately squatted to pick them up. She cried as she picked up the coins, but did not cry out loud.

The woman kept cursing beside him, and Xuezhi didn't know what to say. He could only squat on the ground and pick up the coins, but the coins were scattered everywhere and many of them could not be picked up.

"Snow Pheasant, just pick up what you can find. They are still yours. Those that are lost can never be brought back."

"what?"

Xuezhi looked up in panic and found a young man with silver hair and blue eyes looking at her. The smile on his face did not contain any sarcasm or contempt.

"My name is Ji Luo, I need a wheelchair, but I can't do it, can you?"

"what?"

"Xuezhi, let's make a deal. I'll help you solve this problem, and you'll make me a wheelchair."

"How...how do you know me?"

"I have heard of you by chance. Your diligence and thriftiness are admirable."

Of course Ji Luo couldn't say that when he was playing "Arknights", he read her operator file and remembered her as a useful tool.

"Well……"

When Xuezhi heard Ji Luo's words, her neck turned red with shyness. She wished she could curl up into a ball so that Ji Luo wouldn't see her.

On the other side, the woman whose clothes were soiled saw Ji Luo trying to be a hero and save the beauty, and walked over with a sneer.

"Hey, you know her, right? Then hurry up and pay me back, I have something urgent to deal with!"

"Pay compensation? Let's see if you have the ability to do that!"

Ji Luo gave the woman a middle finger, then he grabbed Xue Zhi by the collar, lifted her up like a chicken, turned around and started running!

"Ugh!"

Xuezhi was shocked by Ji Luo's behavior. In her opinion, if you make a mistake, you must apologize and compensate. There is no option of running away after mocking.

Besides, this guy named Ji Luo runs really fast, no - it should be said that he runs too fast!

She wants to vomit...

Ji Luo ran for more than ten minutes in one breath and stopped after entering an alley. He put the snow pheasant on the ground, but the girl fell straight to the ground and was narrowly caught by Ji Luo.

"Eh?! Snow Pheasant, what's wrong with you!"

"I... feel dizzy."

Xuezhi felt her head spinning and her whole body was dizzy. Ji Luo quickly put her against the wall and ran to buy her a bottle of water.

"Drink some water. Your body is in poor condition. You need to replenish your body."

"Yes...I'm sorry."

The snow pheasant shrank her neck and drank the water in small sips. She glanced at the brand of the water secretly and clicked the bottle cap with some heartache.

Ordinary water costs one dollar a bottle, but this brand costs two dollars, they both drink the same.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm glad you're safe."

Ji Luo stood nearby, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

This is Snow Pheasant, a super useful tool. As long as she is paid, she will work diligently and will never be lazy at all.

——In this fickle world full of salary thieves, is there anyone more trustworthy than Snow Pheasant!

Ji Luo did not watch TV in vain during the past week. He came up with many grand ideas in his mind, which required elite soldiers and capable people to complete.

That’s right, it’s a talent like Snow Pheasant!

"Wake up, Snow Pheasant, let's burn this city... to ashes!"

"Eh?!"

Chapter 33: Ji Luo, you broke the law again

Xuezhi was frightened by Ji Luo's playful invitation. The girl's eyes widened, her hands holding the water bottle shook violently, and her body was pressed against the wall.

"Um...I...I don't want to burn...burn the Dragon Gate."

"Ah? I was just joking. You didn't take it seriously~"

Ji Luo was amused by the appearance of Snow Pheasant. The girl really didn't deserve the nickname of Little Chicken. Her frightened look was both cute and funny.

"S-Sorry! I misunderstood you!"

Xuezhi felt embarrassed again and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, which made Ji Luo feel guilty.

"Okay, Xuezhi, don't apologize, you did nothing wrong. I plan to set up a company, and I hope you can help me."

"I'm...I'm sorry! I...I..."

"Don't apologize, just speak slowly, no one will force you."

Ji Luo couldn't help but frowning when he saw Xue Zhi's inferiority complex and sensitivity. The girl saw that Ji Luo was unhappy, and she bowed her head and apologized reflexively, looking like a middle school student who was blackmailed.

"Longmen Guards! Don't move!"

Suddenly a delicate cry came from the alley, and then a slender figure suddenly rushed in, scaring both Ji Luo and Xue Zhi!

"I am Chen from the Special Inspectorate, you——"

Chen Yingye recited the lines skillfully, but halfway through, she looked at Ji Luo, who was confused, and Xue Zhi, who was shivering in the corner, and her eyes suddenly became terrifying.

"Ji Luo, you are suspected of illegally kidnapping Longmen citizens and are now under arrest!"

“Stop, stop, stop! Who kidnapped me? Which idiot called the police?!”

Ji Luo turned his head to look outside the alley and found that the water vendor was fleeing in a hurry, not even taking the drinks he left behind.

"Xuezhi, please explain to me quickly. I did this to help you."

"That...that...Ji Luo..."

Xuezhi was frightened by Chen's fierce aura. She tried to explain with a stammer, but unexpectedly Chen waved his hand to stop her from talking.

"Are you Xuezhi? I remember... you seemed to be invited by the Longmen Guard Bureau to join the scientific research department."

"Yes, it is."

"That's right! Kidnapping an important person is an even more serious crime."

Chen turned his head with great vigor and looked at Ji Luo with a determined smile in his eyes. It seemed that he was determined to let Ji Luo go to the Guard Bureau.

"Stop! Stop playing tricks on me, Chen. You haven't forgotten our agreement last time, have you~"

Ji Luo would not be scared by Chen. He couldn't say that he knew everything this little girl had done recently, but he could only say that he understood it thoroughly.

"I understand that you really want to know how to change the downtown area, but it's a bit sad that you're so despicable~"

"you……"

Facing Ji Luo's ambiguous gaze, Chen hurriedly covered the horns on her head. As if she had thought of something, the girl gritted her teeth and put her hand down again.

"Ji Luo, I've made up my mind! Now, tell me your plan and I'll let you touch my horns!"

"Chen, I will never give up on a promise. I can tell you three strategies. However, I want to increase your price a little bit..."

Ji Luo rubbed his hands and acted as if he was going to raise the price. Chen was so angry that he took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and his cheeks flushed.

"Ji Luo! Do you want to die?!"

"Wait! Your reaction is wrong! Did you misunderstand something?"

Ji Luo thought he had everything planned out, but Chen suddenly went berserk and started to hit him with his fists. Ji Luo hurriedly dodged left and right, covering his head and running away.

——It is absolutely impossible to fight back, as he could not guard against the despicable Chen, who was trying to frame him for assaulting a police officer.

"Touch...the corner..."

Snow Pheasant huddled against the wall, looking at the two of them in shock, as if his worldview had collapsed.

She had heard of Chen's reputation before she left Longmen. Xuezhi never dreamed that one day, she would hear with her own ears that the rising star of the Longmen Guard Bureau would take the initiative to shout to a boy - let him touch her horns!

For all races on Terra, horns are very important and private parts of the body. Except for the closest people... they cannot be touched by others.

What's more, Chen is a member of the dragon clan. Her horns are not just decorations, but also a symbol of some kind of supremacy that no mortal can encroach upon or touch!

But at this time... in public, with the opposite sex, touching the corners, it seems that the man is still not satisfied and wants more behavior!

"Have I been away for a long time... Has Longmen become so fancy now?"

Xuezhi's face turned red like a steam engine. She covered her cheeks with her hands, spread her fingers apart, and quietly watched Chen and Ji Luo flirting. She felt like she had entered a new world.

After fighting for a long time, Ji Luo was tired. He panted and signaled Chen to stop. The girl still had some strength left. She looked at Ji Luo with disdain, full of pride.

"Now, you can tell me your method."

"Chen, you have to promise me one thing before I can tell you."

Ji Luo reached out and grabbed Chen's arm and pulled her to the side. The girl struggled but failed to break free. She looked up and glared at Ji Luo, then let him pull her.

"Ji Luo, what's going on? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll send you to jail."

"Come on, come on, come on. I will definitely not be a riddler today."

Ji Luo leaned closer to Chen. The girl frowned uncomfortably and wanted to move aside, but when she thought that would weaken her momentum, she simply stood there with her arms folded, letting the hot breath of Ji Luo's words swirl around her ears.

"Chen, this snow pheasant, I want..."

"You want it?!"

"Keep your voice down! Who do you think I am? I'm not blind. You're a thousand times prettier than her. How could I fall for her?"

Ji Luo reached out to cover Chen's mouth, but the girl knocked his hand away. Chen rolled his eyes and glared at him, but did not continue to hit Ji Luo.

"Tell me your plan clearly. If you dare to come to me, you must have something to rely on."

"Hehe~ Chen, you are so wise~ I want to start a company, and I need Xue Zhi to join! So... Can the Guard Bureau..."

"How dare you snatch someone from the Longmen Guards? Xuezhi's name is on file with Chief Wei Yanwu."

Chen didn't know why, but she didn't get angry or blame Ji Luo for his behavior. Instead, she looked like she was enjoying the show.

"The Snow Pheasant is right there. If you have the ability, you can pry it away. But I remind you that once your company is established...if it is targeted by the industrial and commercial, fire, or taxation departments, don't say that I will retaliate against you."

"Chen, how can you be so cruel? I'm carrying a pig trough for a thousand miles..."

"What?"

"It's for you~"

Ji Luo was joking with a smile, but Chen didn't really hear what he said, so he just raised his eyebrows and didn't continue talking about such trivial matters.

"Ji Luo, stop pretending and tell me your real plan. What you said and did a week ago couldn't have been a whim."

"Chen, let's not talk about anything else, but I want to touch your horns. I have been wanting to do so for a long time!"

Chapter 34: The right choice

Ji Luo had a bright smile on his face and proudly raised his thumb. Chen clenched his teeth, moved his fingers violently a few times, and instantly clenched his fists, but he did not move, but his eyes were terrifying.

"Ji Luo, do you know the physical amnesia method?"

"..."

Ji Luo felt that Chen Zhen was angry, so he immediately shut his mouth and his expression became very appropriate.

"Ji Luo, I have made up my mind. No matter who I am against, I must change the Lower City. I will never allow...Longmen to sink."

After working overtime for a few days, Chen deeply realized the problems of the downtown area. It was simply a dark swamp, with nothing but decay and filth, and no hope at all.

"You'd better... keep your promise, otherwise, I will be really angry."

"Well, that's the end of the joke."

Ji Luo took a step back, leaned against the wall, and looked serious.

"The root causes of the problems in Longmen's Lower City District are actually two: poverty and crime. Poverty has left people with nowhere to go, and crime has become the only way to survive. If these two points don't change, the Lower City District will never be saved."
