"Chapter 114: It's Been a While Since I Was Last Trending"

"Liu Juan's boss has been practicing for eight years and has already acquired the self-healing ability. Liu Juan has witnessed her boss recover from a venomous snake bite through the 'Youth Renewal Technique'."

"With just two more years of practice, her boss could achieve immortality. However, due to various reasons, there's been a shortage of child blood necessary for practice, forcing subordinates to search for suitable children."

"Liu Juan chose to stay at Jin Yu's guesthouse because she saw Leng Xi Yue's six children. These children, with their plump and tender appearance, were ideal for practice."

"Finding even one child suitable for practice is usually challenging, but stumbling upon six at once is a jackpot."

"Liu Juan thought, bringing back these six girls would surely please her boss."

"Then, she could ask her boss to teach her the 'Youth Renewal Technique', aspiring for immortality like anyone else."

"But now, Wu Gang's suggestion to leave disrupts her plans."

"'Gang brother, don't you want to stay here with me anymore?' Liu Juan batted her eyelashes, oozing charm."

"'It's not about not wanting to stay with you; it's about not staying at this guesthouse. Let's switch to another one,' Wu Gang said, whispering into Liu Juan's ear, 'Look at this woman's forehead.'"

"Wu Gang wanted to remind Liu Juan that Leng Xi Yue was an actress, implying that actors rely on acting skills rather than honesty, fearing staying longer might lead to a significant loss."

"However, Liu Juan's thoughts were entirely different from Wu Gang's. When she noticed Leng Xi Yue's forehead wound had vanished, she panicked."

"Could Leng Xi Yue, like her boss, be a practitioner as well?"

"Without Wu Gang's reminder, she almost forgot about Leng Xi Yue's injury. Recalling it, she remembered the deep cut caused by a sharp object. If not for 'Youth Renewal Technique', how could it heal so quickly?"

"If Leng Xi Yue was indeed a practitioner, abducting the six children wouldn't be easy, requiring considerable effort."

"Refund the money, do it now!" Wu Gang bellowed at the top of his lungs.

"Refunding is possible," Leng Xi Yue pointed at the table, "Settle the bill for this table, and I'll refund your rent."

As she spoke, Leng Xi Yue placed the QR code for payment on the table, "Twenty-six thousand, cash or transfer?"

"I'll transfer nothing!" Wu Gang glanced at the empty boxes on the table and snarled, "Just for these few lousy dishes, twenty-six thousand? Who are you trying to scam? Believe it or not, I'll call the police and get your shady business shut down?"

"Then go ahead and call!" Gong Xin Yi and Leng Xi Yue said in unison.

Hearing the mention of the police, Liu Juan's face turned pale with fear. As a human trafficker, wouldn't her true identity be exposed if the police showed up?

"Gang brother, don't call the police..."

Liu Juan didn't want Wu Gang to call the police, but he refused to listen and took out his phone, "Don't think you can bully us because we're from out of town. Don't forget, it's the age of the internet. I won't just call the police; I'll alert the media, and your business will be finished today!"

"Feel free to invite all the media, domestic and international," Gong Xin Yi said, embracing Leng Xi Yue gently, "Wife, it's been a while since I've trended online. Let's do it together today."

Leng Xi Yue had no desire to trend online. If she became famous, her six children would also be exposed, and she didn't want to put them in danger.

Just as she was about to speak, Gong Xin Yi pressed his finger to her lips, saying softly, "No need to say anything, I understand."

"Shameless and audacious!" Wu Gang fumed, actually dialing the police.

"Gang brother, don't!" Liu Juan quickly snatched his phone.

"Why won't you let me call the police?" Wu Gang genuinely didn't understand. He felt completely justified, believing it was the guesthouse that had breached their agreement.

Liu Juan, smiling, explained, "When traveling, it's best to avoid making enemies. Actually, what this lady said is correct. They promised to make us home-cooked meals, but these dishes were clearly prepared for their children. We were in the wrong from the start and shouldn't quibble."
