"Although I really want that reward, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Gao Liming hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Sell out his older sister?
Exchange Gao Liyuan for a reward?
No way!
Absolutely not!
Putting aside everything else, if his dad found out, he’d definitely break his legs.
Even if we take ten thousand steps back.
Gao Liming wouldn’t reveal Gao Liyuan’s identity as the Red Rose to Lin Fan.
At the end of the day.
He and Lin Fan weren’t that close anyway.
"What’s so inappropriate about it?"
Gao Liyuan shot back.
As if she weren’t the one involved in this situation.
This crazy woman has nerves of steel!
Gao Liming’s lips twitched.
His expression screamed, "Even if you beat me to death, I won’t betray you."
He’d rather die than give in!
Gao Liyuan knew exactly what her little brother was worried about.
"You little brat, you keep saying you’re not stupid, but it seems like you haven’t made much progress over the years."
She started off with a sarcastic tone.
Just to tease her little brother a bit.
Under Gao Liming’s resentful gaze.
Gao Liyuan chuckled and laid out her plan.
"It’s not like you’re really giving me away. The key is to demand more money, more money, and even more money. Got it?"
Her words were like a wake-up call!
Turns out, I’m the fool here?
At first, Gao Liming was worried that his sister might be sick.
Why else would she be talking nonsense?
But it turned out he was just too naive.
Too inexperienced to understand the cunning ways of the world.
Gao Liming’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but ask.
"What should I do?"
His heart was racing, his hands trembling.
He really, really wanted that meteorite!!!!
As for whether Lin Fan, the Dragon King, would come after him later.
Gao Liming couldn’t care less.
Putting everything else aside.
Gao Liyuan had already swindled the Dragon King once.
Once Lin Fan found out about Gao Liyuan and Gao Liming’s identities.
Given the Dragon King’s suspicious nature.
Gao Liming was willing to bet.
That guy wouldn’t say anything outright.
But he’d definitely hold a grudge in secret.
Play dirty, be sneaky.
Gao Liming was doing all this for self-defense.
To prepare for the worst.
Definitely not for his own selfish gains.
Absolutely not.
So satisfying.
"It’s simple! It’s like child’s play. Find a secluded neighborhood in the city center, the kind that someone like me would rent."
"Make it seem real but fake at the same time. Pretend I’ve been discovered, then scramble all the electronic devices in the room and make a hasty escape, but still manage to get away."
"This is called the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell. Learn from this, little bro."
*Snap*-----------
Gao Liyuan snapped her fingers, her eyes sparkling like stars.
"Here’s the key part. Lin Fan will come looking for trouble at the address you gave him."
"When he gets there, he’ll find that I’m gone, and it’ll look like I just left."
"But you’ve already completed your task. After all, you were only asked to find me. Whether he catches me or not is his problem."
"As for the reward, take it. Whatever Lin Fan promised you, demand it. Don’t hold back."
"Only what’s in your hands is real. Everything else is just an illusion."
Gao Liming’s face was filled with seriousness as he nodded repeatedly.
"Got it, got it."
He poured his big sister a glass of soda.
Gao Liyuan looked at her little brother’s actions with great satisfaction.
A sensible kid like him would surely have good luck.
This plan was definitely going to work.
After Gao Liyuan finished her soda.
Gao Liming asked the question he’d been curious about.
"Big sis, you didn’t come all the way home just to tell me this, right? Is there something else? Just spill it."
"You caught me. Not bad, not bad."
Gao Liyuan gave him a thumbs-up.
Gao Liming rolled his eyes.
"I’m not an idiot."
"To me, it’s all the same."
Gao Liming: This crazy woman makes so much sense, I can’t even argue.
Ah… this unbearable intellectual gap!
I admit I’m no match for you.
Please stop showing off.
Suddenly, Gao Liyuan’s face turned red, losing her usual bold demeanor.
"I… um… that is… I-----"
"Stop beating around the bush, sis. You’re not normal, cough cough, you’re a unique spark!"
Gao Liyuan’s eyebrows shot up as she caught the key point, "You’re saying I’m not a normal woman?"
Gao Liming panicked, his brain trembling as he scrambled for a response.
"Of course not, big sis. How could you possibly be a normal woman?"
Seeing her palm getting closer to his face.
Gao Liming got desperate.
"You… you… your intelligence is miles ahead of those normal women. They can’t even compare to you!"
"In this world where brains matter, they’re no match for you."
After a flurry of flattery.
Gao Liyuan was finally pleased.
Hehe---------
Talking about beauty, family background?
Or feelings?
That’s just a waste of money!
Wait, no, it’s a waste of feelings!
Xu Mo would have a use for her.
And she wasn’t just a pretty face.
Thinking about it this way.
Gao Liyuan felt like she still had a chance.
"Phew--------- That was close. Thank goodness, I managed to talk my way out of it."
From Gao Liyuan’s subtle expressions.
Gao Liming didn’t sense any danger. It was 90% safe.
Just as Gao Liming had guessed.
Gao Liyuan took a deep breath.
As if gathering her courage.
"Little brat, you might have a brother-in-law soon."
Gao Liyuan said shyly, her cheeks burning.
Finally, she had said it.
Her heart felt much lighter.
Gao Liming was struck as if by lightning.
Who’s the unlucky guy?
Cough cough-----------
Very quickly!!!!!
The dark clouds cleared, and the light shone through.
Finally-------- finally, I’ve waited for you!
Thank goodness I didn’t give up.
"What do you mean ‘might’? It’s a must!"
Gao Liming’s excitement was through the roof, even more than Gao Liyuan, the person involved.
Gao Liyuan was stunned.
It’s not like you’re the one getting a wife.
Why are you so excited?
"You’re overthinking it. There’s a huge gap between our families."
"Don’t worry! I’ll talk to Dad. So what if it’s just keeping a pretty boy? So what if he’s penniless, without a car, house, or money? As long as it’s true love, even the heavens will be moved!"
Whether the heavens were moved or not.
Gao Liming had moved himself.
He couldn’t let this potential brother-in-law slip away.
He was still young, not ready to get married yet.
He hadn’t even finished developing his battle armor.
Why rush into the grave so soon?
Is it fun?
"It’s not what you think."
Gao Liyuan’s lips twitched, "Our family isn’t good enough for him. He’s way richer than us."
"Then I’ll help you kidnap him!" Gao Liming gritted his teeth.
He was ready to go all out.
Gasp!!!!!!!!
Since when was Xiao Ming so brave?
Gao Liyuan was deeply shocked.
Xu Mo was the first man who made her heart skip a beat.
Also the only man who made her prioritize looks over principles.
With so many female leads around.
Snatching him from the tiger’s mouth!
Unless she stepped up her game!
Even if she couldn’t have him all to herself, sharing a piece would be fine!
Hahaha----- Sorry, sorry, I was so tired in the afternoon.
I thought I had set it up, but I forgot. My bad~
It’s been a while since I asked for anything, so here’s a request for some free little gifts~
Good night, folks~

"This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

le for a sister-in-law. But Xu Mu couldn’t bring himself to rejoice. The reason? He had transmigrated into the brainless villain of a novel—one who abused his wife, forced the Dragon King’s sister to live in a doghouse, and ended up having his ashes scattered upon the Dragon King’s return. Fortunately, Xu Mu awakened the "Justice System," and he was determined to rewrite his doomed fate. A wife should be cherished, and of course, his sister-in-law deserved to sleep in the villa’s cozy bed. When the Dragon King finally returned, he was greeted by a loving and harmonious family.
