Mu Huan wasn’t someone who would play around with her own safety. It was because she was very confident that she would make such a decision.
“But…” Li Meng wanted to say something else.
“You know that this is the fastest and best solution,” Mu Huan said, interrupting her.
“But… this is still very dangerous!” Li Meng was so anxious that she wanted to cry.
“It’s done. I won’t be in danger. Don’t think too much and scare yourself,” Mu Huan consoled.
“You say only nice things every time! It’s all my fault! If it were not for me, it wouldn’t be like this!” Li Meng started to cry as she spoke. The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself.
“Aiyo, my little ancestor, at a time like this, are you still in the mood to cry? Show your professionalism. Let’s quickly come up with a plan. It’s of the utmost importance to save Xingye first. Depending on how late we are, he’ll be crippled if he doesn’t die. Do you want to see him crippled?”
Mu Huan knew that the more she tried to comfort her, the more self-blame Li Meng would feel. Hence, she did not comfort her and instead urged her to stabilize her emotions. What they needed to do now was to come up with the safest rescue plan and not to use up such precious time to blame themselves. Besides, it was not her fault!
Who would have known that Wu Xingye would not be able to control himself? Who would have known that out of so many entertainment cities, he would enter this place?!
Li Meng knew that Mu Huan was right. After taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and said, “Even if this method was feasible and I asked you to go, how are you going to win a lot of money?”
Wu Xingye had won because not only was his talent good but he had also inherited his grandfather’s abilities. As for Xiao Huan, she had won only a few battles against the landlord. She had no luck at all!
“Big guess!”
Li Meng: “…”
Alright, she could really win this!
During the summer vacation, Wu Xingye had had nothing better to do. When his hands were itchy, he would often shake the dice and make the two of them guess the outcome. Xiao Huan was smart and learned everything quickly. Very soon, her guess of the result and even of the exact time became more accurate than Wu Xingye’s.
“But that’s because Wu Xingye didn’t have any hidden operations and you could guess correctly. What if there are hidden operations in the entertainment city?” Li Meng felt that if the entertainment city was like Wu Xingye and did not do anything underhanded, it was definitely possible. What if the entertainment city was like the little tricksters they had encountered when they were shopping in the temple when they were young? One could clearly see a few items inside, but when one opened it, they’d find that it wasn’t like what one saw. What if someone did something at the last moment?
“Earlier in the morning, when I was watching the guessing game, I guessed correctly a few times. I’ll place a bet after they’ve settled down. There won’t be any problem.” Mu Huan was well-prepared.
Li Meng: “…”
She could no longer come up with a rebuttal.
“I roughly calculated the time…” Mu Huan told her about her plan.
“Now, the biggest problem is what excuse I should come up with to avoid accompanying Bo Junyan at night and carry out such a plan in the entertainment city.” The most troubling part of the plan was not how to escape, but how to have the time to do this.
“That’s right! If your plan doesn’t work out well, you might not be able to succeed in one night. How are you going to tell Bo Junyan?”
Mu Huan’s head began to hurt; she could not think of a way to get Bo Junyan to give her a pass for one night.
Bo Junyan called to say that he was still in another city in T Country at this time. Due to the issue with the contract, he would have to come back tomorrow morning and told her not to wait for him tonight.
