Are You Shopping in Outer Space?

The real estate manager brought Zi Yi to view the property. She liked the layout and it was located near the Metropolis University's teachers' apartments. It was a particularly peaceful area.

After she was done viewing the property, Zi Yi paid the down payment and headed back to the hotel. She hacked into City S government website and created a household register for herself and went to the local authorities to get the household register printed.

Then after it was all settled she went back for her exam in the afternoon.

Two men suddenly turned up at the property while she was having her exam.

One of them was tall and brawny with a square-shaped face. He had a straight nose.

The other man was slightly thinner and had a sharp chin. He had a slightly wicked aura about him.

Both of them were dressed in black gear with murderous looks in their eyes.

The thin wicked-looking man glanced at the property and said with certainty, "Someone came today. Do you think this property got sold?"

The man with the straight nose said coolly, "If anyone buys it, we will just have to make sure they don't move in."

The moment the thin man heard this, a sinister look appeared on his face as his eyes flashed murderously. "Since we have our eyes on this property, it is ours. How should we scare the buyer away? Shall we just frighten them? Or should we just turn this place into a murder site?"

"Any way works. Just don't forget about what we are here in the capital for."

"Don't worry. We just need to hurt someone, right? Easy peasy."

"Do not underestimate the target's bodyguards. Many have failed because of them."

"Pfft… It's just a bunch of bodyguards. Don't tell me you are a chicken?"

The two of them entered the property as they spoke.

...

Zi Yi finished the exam in 30 minutes again.

This time, the invigilator said, "Don't forget about the paper tomorrow. Be punctual."

"Uh huh," acknowledged Zi Yi before she left.

After she left, the girl sitting behind her looked up to glance at Zi Yi's seat and felt twisted from envy.

Sure enough, good-looking people could get away with anything. The invigilator even treated her warmly when she handed in her script early.

Zi Yi turned on her phone after she left the exam hall to see several missed calls again.

This time, most of them came from He Fei.

Not only did He Fei call her, but he also texted her several times.

Zi Yi tapped on a message to see what he had said. [Have you gone shopping in outer space? Why aren't you back yet? I have been waiting forever. If you don't come back soon, your cousin is going to eat me alive.]

Zi Yi smiled imperceptibly.

It seemed her cousin was pretty eager.

Just then, Li Peirong happened to call. She wanted to know when Zi Yi was returning.

Zi Yi replied, "I'm coming back now."

After hanging up the phone, she hailed a cab and headed to the hotel.

He Fei had already left and Zi Xu, Li Peirong and Zi Lian were waiting for her in the living room.

The moment Li Peirong saw her come in, there was a strange look on her face before she heaved a sigh of relief. "You are finally back. Do you know how worried I was?"

Zi Yi pursed her lips and said nothing and turned to look at Zi Xu on the couch.

Zi Xu looked at her stiffly but did not seem as angry as before because he said, "You aren't allowed to run off like that from now on."

He continued speaking, "Get changed. You are coming out with me later."

"What for?" Zi Yi frowned.

Zi Xu wanted to take Zi Yi to see He Fei's father. He was worried that Zi Yi would oppose it, so he ambiguously said, "To see someone who can let you study in the capital."
