This meant that the seemingly ordinary kindergarten had an absolutely powerful backer behind it. Opening a kindergarten was probably just a cover. There might be some shocking deals hidden within…
Gu Chu touched her chin and curled the corner of her mouth.
In the original novel, Gu Chu starved to death in this kindergarten. Now, this kindergarten was bullying her little deskmate. She had to think of a way to uncover the ugly side of this lousy kindergarten and find out the big bosses behind it…
——
After Gu Chu finished collecting information on the computer, she had a preliminary understanding of the kindergarten. She stretched, closed the computer, and prepared to go downstairs for a walk.
Downstairs in the living room, the hungover Lin Xiaozhou had already sobered up. He yawned and sat on the sofa, holding half an iced watermelon and eating while watching TV. When he saw Gu Chu, Lin Xiaozhou waved, “Chuchu, come down and eat some watermelon.”
The two of them sat on the sofa, watching TV and eating watermelon.
“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have drunk. I only had around two shots.” Lin Xiaozhou rubbed his aching temples. He regretted having wine last night.
The scene of him going crazy from alcohol must have been absolutely terrifying.
He remembered that in the past, when he lived in the United States, he had accidentally gotten drunk. According to his brother, he was full of nonsense, chattering non-stop, and he liked to pout and kiss random people.
Lin Xiaozhou covered his face, unwilling to recall the scene after he got drunk last night.
Hopefully, he didn’t traumatize Zhao Yan.
“It’s okay, uncle didn’t care at all.” Gu Chu used a small spoon to dig out a spoonful of watermelon. “Uncle even asked Auntie to prepare some water and food for you. Uncle treats you very well.”
Lin Xiaozhou shrugged and his expression turned from dark to bright. “That’s true. Our friendship is unbreakable. However, I still should pay more rent this month. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad.”
Gu Chu ate the watermelon and thought to herself, Uncle doesn’t actually want you to pay rent at all.
Just as she was about to hint at Lin Xiaozhou, Gu Chu’s attention was suddenly taken away by the news. The watermelon in her hand almost fell to the floor. Gu Chu put down the watermelon and looked at the news broadcast without blinking:
“Today, a museum in the capital was robbed, and five priceless oil paintings mysteriously disappeared. According to the authorities, this was the work of an experienced gang. This mysterious gang had been committing crimes for six years in succession, stealing jewelry, oil paintings, precious sculptures, and countless other things.
Their modus operandi was extremely brilliant, and the police had yet to find any clues. And most of the stolen items were quickly sold overseas at high prices.”
Gu Chu did not care at all about small gangs committing crimes.
However, the news listed a few precious stolen items, and one of them caught Gu Chu’s attention!
That stone!
A thumb-sized moonlight stone! The news said that it was a gem worn by a royal family in the Roman Empire. It was priceless, and after being stolen, it was sent overseas for sale. It was purchased at a high price by an American collector who did not want to reveal his name.
It was precisely because of this stone that Gu Chu accidentally transmigrated into this universe!
Gu Chu’s eyes widened. She did not expect that there would be this moonstone in this world… She recognized the patterns on this stone. The faint blue halo was like moonlight, and the pattern on it looked like a moon crescent.
“How… how could it be…” Gu Chu muttered.
Gu Chu fell into deep thought. She now had one more thing to do. She had to find an opportunity to find out who the thief team was and find out who bought the moonlight stone. Maybe she could find the Mo in this world…
When she found Mo–
Gu Chu sneered and took a bite of the watermelon pulp.
I’m going to kill him myself!
