Chapter 49 - A Crooked Stick Will Have a Crooked Shadow (1/2)

Huancheng Group, 26th floor, Chairman’s office —

Shen Mochen sat in his office chair, browsing through the documents delivered by the IT Department’s CEO, Miao Qiao. His brows furrowed as he asked suspiciously, “Are you sure this is the address?”

“Yes, it is the physical address of the player, Grandpa Loves Shuishui. He has got through many levels and possesses the magic tools from the ten realms. He is now at Level 300. He started playing The Ancient Chivalry not long after its release and has more than ten smurfs. Now, he is selling them in the forum. According to our investigation, he sells a Level 85 smurf at 5,000 Yuan.

Moreover, he seems to have cracked the gimmicks in the five sections of the monsters’ realm. That is why he can advance so fast. I suspect he has acquired the bugfixes of the five sections,” Miao Qiao reported.

“Noted,” Shen Mochen tossed the documents on his desk.

“I’ll have someone contact him immediately,” Miao Qiao said with a quaver in his voice.

“No need for that, I’ll handle it myself.” Shen Mochen said in a gruff voice.

After class, Shui Miaomiao went to the supermarket to buy some pork belly, chicken breasts, paprika, tomatoes, and eggs.

She wandered back to her place with the plastic bags in her hand while humming to herself.

When she reached the lobby, she saw Zuo Yingying, her father’s second wife, standing next to the stairs.

The twinkle in Shui Miaomiao’s eyes vanished.

When Zuo Yingying saw Shui Miaomiao, she snorted and walked in her crazily tall high heels toward Shui Miaomiao. She said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, “It seems like you are doing great.”

Shui Miaomiao stared at Zuo Yingying’s face, which was decorated with heavy makeup, and quirked her lips into a lopsided grin, but it did not quite reach her eyes. She said in a joyful tone, “Life’s not too bad, thanks for your concern.”
