23: Lu Hanxiao: I want to call the police!

"Hello, miss, I'd like a room."

Zhang Yu took out Di Xiaoba's ID card.

There was only one ID card.

According to hotel rules, one ID card can only check in one person.

But the front desk girl made an exception, turning a blind eye and letting it slide.

The room was booked quickly.

Zhang Yu took the key card and helped Di Xiaoba into the room.

"Whew, carrying her for so long is actually quite tiring."

He placed Di Xiaoba back onto the bed.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, stretching his somewhat stiff shoulders.

A drunk person's body is many times heavier than a normal person's.

Even with the boost from the physical recovery potion, walking here had consumed a lot of his energy.

He took another look at Di Xiaoba.

She was lying on her side on the bed, already asleep.

Her shirt collar was slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her skin.

At this moment, Zhang Yu faced a difficult choice.

Should he act like a beast?

Or should he be worse than a beast?

He felt that if he stayed any longer, something might happen.

So, he hurried to the bathroom to take a shower.

The cold water pouring over his head felt refreshing.

After washing up, he picked up his phone to check the time.

Damn, it's already midnight?

Time really flies.

Without realizing it, after eating and taking a shower, it was already midnight.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but shout in his heart.

A new day is here, which means there are new rewards, right?

Anyway, he was free.

He didn't hesitate and woke up the system: "System, I want to draw today's Blind Box!"

"Preparing for the host!"

"The Blind Box is ready, host please choose."

Following the system's prompt, the Blind Box drawing interface appeared before him again.

Since it's a Blind Box and he can't see anything, he'll just pick randomly.

So, he chose a box at random.

This time.

The box didn't open immediately.

Instead, the box emitted a circle of golden light.

Then, the box slowly opened.

Holy crap, there are special effects this time?

Could it be that I drew a hidden version of the Blind Box?

Zhang Yu looked at the system interface, clenching his fists, unable to help feeling excited.

Sure enough, the system's mechanical voice sounded next.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing a hidden version of the Blind Box!"

Golden light flashed, and the reward popped out.

The first time drawing a hidden version of the Blind Box!

He was overjoyed, held his breath, and quickly checked what the reward was.

"host has received the reward: Future Event Prediction Modifier!"

What is this?

Zhang Yu was a bit confused and looked at the instructions.

"Future Event Modifier, current level: the host can change events that will happen within the next week. Uses remaining: 3."

"After use, the worldview will refresh accordingly, and the memories of the relevant people will be rewritten."

Damn, as expected of a hidden version of the Blind Box.

This is too overpowered.

Getting a house, a car, or even a company is essentially related to money.

It requires gradual accumulation.

But the option provided now.

Can save him a lot of trouble.

If he didn't want to work hard, he could write that in a week, a rich woman would come looking for him, determined to marry him and give him all her assets.

If he didn't like someone, he could write that they would die mysteriously in a day, and no one would be able to find the cause.

A day is also within the range of a week.

It can even be compressed to the minute level.

If this were actually used, it would be even more lethal than Death Note.

But since there are only 3 chances given now, he has to use them cautiously.

He needs to use them at useful moments.

So.

Zhang Yu calmed down, claimed this hidden reward, and put it into his system backpack.

Then, he closed the system.

He turned his head to look at the large bed in the middle of the room.

He saw Di Xiaoba turn over, unconsciously starting to undo the buttons of her clothes.

Also, her red lips were slightly parted, and the tip of her tongue licked the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted something.

Oh my goodness.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu felt it was simply inducing him to commit a crime.

Who has such strong willpower to remain calm in this situation?

"What do you want?"

He stepped forward and asked.

"I want... want..." Di Xiaoba murmured unconsciously, "I want water."

After drinking, she was now muddled.

She felt very hot, as if she was about to explode.

She was dying of thirst.

"Wait a moment, it'll be ready right away."

Zhang Yu looked at the furnishings in the room.

On the table were two bottles of generic mineral water, which were complimentary drinks from the hotel room.

So, he picked up a bottle, opened it, and handed it to Di Xiaoba's lips.

But she was clearly unable to hold the bottle steadily, and she couldn't drink while lying on the bed.

The full bottle of water spilled a few drops onto the bedsheet.

Having no choice, Zhang Yu had to help her sit up, cradling her neck, half-lying in the crook of his arm.

Then he brought the bottle opening to Di Xiaoba's lips.

This scene looked like feeding a baby.

Her red lips wrapped around the bottle opening, and she drank the mineral water greedily.

She drank more than half the bottle in one go.

Damn.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but let his imagination run wild again, and suddenly felt his spirits rise!

Cough, cough, cough.

He thought crookedly again.

"Do you feel better now?"

He asked, diverting his thoughts.

Di Xiaoba didn't respond. He looked down and found she had fallen asleep again in the crook of his arm.

No way, is the aftereffect of this alcohol that strong?

Zhang Yu drank more than her, and he was basically sober now.

Sigh, if your alcohol tolerance is low, don't drink.

After drinking, isn't this just causing trouble for others?

The constitution of people really cannot be compared.

It's fortunate that he is an upright gentleman; if she had encountered someone with ulterior motives...

Di Xiaoba would probably have been eaten until there wasn't even a bone left.

He sighed.

He laid her back down, flat.

"Ring, ring."

At this moment, Di Xiaoba's phone suddenly rang.

Zhang Yu picked up the phone to look, and the caller ID on the screen said "Sister Xiao."

Considering this was a matter between the sisters.

He didn't answer it.

The ringtone stopped after one minute.

A few seconds later, it called again.

Is there something important that must be said right now?

There was no other way, Zhang Yu had to pick up her phone and answer it.

"Hello, Xiao Ba, we've arrived in Su City, let me tell you..."

On the other end, Lu Hanxiao had just landed and finished her work.

She called Di Xiaoba.

She hadn't finished speaking.

When she heard a male voice coming from the phone.

"Di Xiaoba is already asleep. If you have something to say, you can say it tomorrow."

"Who are you? Why do you have her phone?"

As soon as Lu Hanxiao heard the man's voice on the other end, her mind immediately went on high alert, sounding a level-ten alarm.

Di Xiaoba had said there was a sudden family emergency, so she took leave and left the flight before it took off.

She returned to Jiang City alone.

She was very worried about Di Xiaoba, afraid she would encounter trouble.

But she couldn't check her phone for several hours on the flight.

Just after landing, she called immediately, only to find a man holding her phone, saying she was asleep?

It's hard not to overthink this; could Di Xiaoba have done something foolish?

Or was she kidnapped?

The more she thought, the more afraid she became; she couldn't help but want to call the police now!

"It's me. Can't you recognize my voice?"

Zhang Yu said again.

"Are you... the Landlord?"

Lu Hanxiao listened carefully to the voice on the phone again.

It seemed to be Zhang Yu.

Hearing his voice on the phone for the first time, it was a bit different from reality.

So she didn't recognize it right away.

However.

Didn't Di Xiaoba say she was handling family matters? Why would she be with the Landlord, Zhang Yu, in the same room?

Lu Hanxiao was confused.
