Chapter 719 - 715: Quarrel

"Calm down. Don’t get so worked up. We can talk about this."

Xu Wenwan thought she had a handle on the system’s personality and wanted to talk it around, continuing to use her usual delaying tactics.

But the system was more resolute than ever.

"I’m not listening! If you don’t help me absorb fortune, I’ll unbind from you right now."

With that, the system’s voice began an unbinding countdown.

"Unbinding from host. Countdown initiated."

"10."

"9."

"8."

...

Xu Wenwan never knew a system could unbind from its host. She panicked instantly.

"Don’t, Little Seven! Please don’t be mad. I’ll go find you some fortune right now."

Xu Wenwan was scared to death.

If the system unbound from her, she would lose her devastatingly beautiful face and her hot, curvy figure.

Besides, without the system’s support, how could she ever defeat Gu Jiaojiao?

Speaking of which, Xu Wenwan felt wronged. She had transmigrated into the very novel she had written and had even become the heroine. After arriving in the book, everything she did was an effort to get the plot back on track.

But now, she had married An Dongyang and had no connection to Yun Hao. The "doted on by all" plotline had turned into a total disaster. She had no idea where she’d gone wrong.

But as long as she had the system, she had confidence and a chance to make a comeback. If the system left her too, wouldn’t she be inferior to Gu Jiaojiao for the rest of her life?

She had been jealous of Gu Jiaojiao for two lifetimes. Forget her past life—Gu Jiaojiao’s father was a powerhouse, and she was no match for him. But in this life, she had the heroine’s script. If she still couldn’t measure up to Gu Jiaojiao, she would never be able to rest in peace.

She had to rely on the system to turn her situation around.

This time, she really didn’t dare waste any more time talking. After promising System Number Seven she would go find fortune, she decisively grabbed her purse and headed out the door.

There were plenty of men coming and going on the street, but she didn’t know a single one.

Xu Wenwan couldn’t help but bite her lip, her face filled with grievance.

’This was supposed to be a power fantasy I wrote,’ she thought, ’but I don’t feel powerful at all. In fact, I’m so frustrated I could die.’

Left with no other choice, Xu Wenwan thought of a place.

Old Nine’s place.

She had been there once. Old Nine had plenty of henchmen, and they all stared at her with lecherous eyes.

’Their fortunes are probably mediocre,’ she considered, ’but it’s better than nothing.’

With that thought, Xu Wenwan quickly headed for Old Nine’s place.

At Old Nine’s place, when An Dongyang arrived, the door was open. He walked in to see several men in the middle of a heated discussion. They didn’t even notice him enter.

Finally, An Dongyang had to be the one to cough, which made the men snap to attention. When they saw it was An Dongyang, they were stunned for a moment before their faces lit up. One of them scrambled to his feet and rushed forward.

"Young Master An, you’re finally here! Something’s happened to Mr. Jiu."

The man then explained how Old Nine had been arrested.

The image of Leng Yuan instantly flashed through An Dongyang’s mind.

’He was certain Leng Yuan was behind this. I had Lu Yuanbin arrested, and now Leng Yuan has Old Nine arrested. This is his revenge. Too bad Leng Yuan’s little tricks are nothing but a clumsy imitation in my eyes. Utterly laughable.’

’If those guys from the casino hadn’t needed me back then, I would have already crushed Lu Yuanbin. He wouldn’t still be hopping around causing trouble.’

’My original plan was to wait a bit, have Lu Yuanbin arrested again, and use Old Nine as a witness to deal a heavy blow to Leng Yuan. I just didn’t expect him to make the first move.’

’But it doesn’t matter. I have connections. Getting Old Nine released will only take a single phone call.’

"Young Master An, you have to save Mr. Jiu! We’ve tried everything we can think of, but nothing’s worked."

An Dongyang replied without a second thought, "Wait here. I’ll go get Old Nine back."
