[Host, Xu Zhiyi is not within the scope of your cannon fodder storyline. Whether you save her or not will not affect this additional plot point.]
[This is another storyline involving the Protagonist and the female lead; it has nothing to do with you.]
"Oh right, the original owner of this body never even met Xu Zhiyi; she's already dead."
"But if I save Xu Zhiyi, wouldn't that affect the subsequent plot?"
[Host, as long as these plot characters don't awaken like the Number Two fodder character you mentioned, the subsequent plot will be automatically fixed and won't be affected.]
Is that so?
[However, I advise the host to make a decision soon. The Protagonist will arrive soon, and now is not the time for you to meet Protagonist.]
That makes sense.
To save her or not? She's already in my arms, of course I have to save her.
Seeing Xu Zhiyi clinging to him like an octopus, Ling Yi couldn't take it anymore.
He picked Xu Zhiyi.
Back to the hotel?
No, go to the hospital.
In short dramas, scenes involving drugging are always Masai.
But our Ling Yi is a respectable person.
What's more, the hospital is right next door, and it's a property owned by the Ling Clan.
After Ling Yi carried Xu Zhiyi away, a man with a head full of frizzy hair and dressed like a Daoist priest happened to pass by the alley.
The man paused for a moment at the entrance of the alley.
He scratched his head and said, "Why do I suddenly feel so empty inside?"
He then shook his head and left the alleyway.
Five minutes later, the uncles' car arrived.
The uncle leading the group turned out to be a pretty young lady with a brush-shaped hairstyle.
I checked on the two young men lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Upon seeing the tattoos on the young man's arm, the beautiful woman sneered, "He's trash from the Black Dragon Society. Take him all away."
"By the way, call the person who reported it and ask where they are. Didn't they say a woman was drugged? Where is she?"
"Yes, Captain!"
Meanwhile, in Liu Ruyan's dormitory, Liu Ruyan was being interrogated by her two roommates.
" Ruyan, have you really agreed to be Ling Yi's girlfriend?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes, Ruyan, you're so naive. None of those rich young masters are good people. They just treat you like playthings."
Liu Ruyan shook her head and looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao and Lin Zhi, asking, " Xiaoxiao, Lin Zhi, do you know who founded the school's 1029 Student Aid Fund?"
At this point, Liu Ruyan suddenly paused.
He murmured to himself, "1029, 1029, isn't that my birthday?"
Liu Ruyan hadn't noticed this before.
I thought it was just a coincidence.
But if this 1029 Student Aid Fund was indeed created by Ling Yi, then it is definitely not a coincidence.
"So, this guy actually did all this for me without my knowledge?"
A warm feeling welled up in my heart. This Ling Yi might really be different from other rich young masters.
" Ruyan, what are you muttering about?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Yes, why are you suddenly asking about the 1029 Student Aid Fund?" Lin Zhi asked from the side.
Lin Zhi is also a pretty girl, with a looks score of at least 80.
She wore a ponytail, which bounced as she spoke, giving her a lively appearance.
He was rather thin, and the light was so small it was almost invisible.
If the light were a bit bigger and the person were slightly chubby, their appearance would be even better.
"I'm just so curious, who exactly founded the 1029 Student Aid Fund?" Liu Ruyan said, regaining her composure.
"They must be rich!" Lin Zhi said matter-of-factly.
"Isn't that obvious? You've probably done too many bad things and want to do something good to ease your conscience. Anyway, none of those wealthy families are good people." Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Liu Ruyan frowned and glanced at Zhu Xiaoxiao: " Xiaoxiao, not all wealthy families are bad people."
You're being too extreme!
"What do you mean by 'extreme'? None of those rich people are clean, otherwise how could they have so much money? No, Ruyan, why are you speaking up for the rich?"
"It's not that I'm speaking for the rich, but that your thinking is flawed," Liu Ruyan said, shaking her head.
"I don't believe there are good people among the rich. Look at those rich kids in our school, which one of them is a good person?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head. "They don't represent all rich people."
Seeing that the two women were about to start arguing again, Lin Zhi quickly interrupted and changed the subject, "If you want to know who owns the 1029 Student Aid Fund, it's actually very simple."
"Just call the homeroom teacher and ask. After all, it's the homeroom teacher who submits the application list every time."
I checked the time; it was almost ten o'clock.
"Never mind, it's too late now. I'll go ask the homeroom teacher myself tomorrow."
" Ruyan, why are you asking this?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked, frowning.
"I want to know who exactly has been helping us all this time, and I want to thank them in person."
Zhu Xiaoxiao pouted. "What's there to thank? It's only right that those rich people help us out, isn't it?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
She suddenly realized that her best friend had clearly problematic values.
Seeing Zhu Xiaoxiao's nonchalant and matter-of-fact demeanor, Liu Ruyan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Doesn't she have any problems herself?
Zhu Xiaoxiao had said this more than once before.
But at that time, Liu Ruyan did not realize that there was anything wrong with these words.
Clearly, my previous ideas were wrong.
No, it's not just wrong, it's also stupid and ridiculous.
"I'm sleepy!" Liu Ruyan got up and went back to her bed.
"How absurd!" Zhu Xiaoxiao snorted and returned to her own bed.
In Zhu Xiaoxiao's opinion, Liu Ruyan was no longer worthy of being her best friend.
To actually become the girlfriend of a rich second-generation like Ling Yi —that's depravity, that's betrayal.
Today, Liu Ruyan actually spoke up for the rich; that shows she has warped values.
That's right, Liu Ruyan thinks Zhu Xiaoxiao has distorted values, but Zhu Xiaoxiao thinks Liu Ruyan has distorted values.
"Hmph, just you wait, you'll regret this sooner or later!"
Lin Zhi looked at her two roommates, somewhat speechless.
She knew very well that Zhu Xiaoxiao's ideas were too extreme and incorrect.
But she knew Zhu Xiaoxiao very well; she was an extremely self-centered person.
He wouldn't listen to a word anyone else said.
However, Liu Ruyan was indeed behaving somewhat strangely today.
Could it be that I'm really going to start dating Ling Yi?
Although Lin Zhi does not agree with Zhu Xiaoxiao's views, she does agree with Zhu Xiaoxiao's statements.
The story of Cinderella and the prince is just Fairy Tale.
I'm afraid Liu Ruyan will regret this later.
On the other side, in the intensive care unit of Red Maple Hospital in Dafeng City.
Xu Zhiyi has woken up.
And it has returned to normal.
Right now, she's being questioned by Uncle Hat—no, I mean Sister Hat.
"Sister Wan'er, if it weren't for Ling Yi this time, I would be completely ruined. You must help me catch that guy White Mountain." Xu Zhiyi said with lingering fear.
" Zhiyi, it's going to be tough to catch White Mountain. We need evidence to do things. If those two keep their stories, there's nothing I can do."
The two women clearly knew each other, and were quite familiar with each other.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"I'm probably out of ideas, but you might be able to ask Ling Yi for help."
"Many of the Bai Clan's businesses have partnerships with the Ling Clan. If Ling Yi is willing to help you, he can cripple the Bai Clan with just a word."
"When the time comes, you can deal with White Mountain however you want."
Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up. "Great idea! I'll go find Ling Yi tomorrow morning!"
