I'm not a drama god

Li Shangfeng was completely unaware that he was surrounded by a group of wicked "dead ghosts".

He just felt that his resistance had weakened. After sneezing, he silently put on a leather jacket and continued to stand at the door, hugging the gold bars and grinning foolishly.

"You have a younger sister?" a voice came from behind.

Li Shangfeng turned around and saw the figure in brown standing in front of the photo of him and Li Wanhua, scrutinizing it carefully.

Li Shangfeng was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously: "...Yes."

"How is she feeling?"

"pretty good."

"If you're here fixing cars, what does she usually do?"

“She goes to school regularly…she’s only in the second year of junior high.” Li Shangfeng’s eyes showed wariness again. “Boss…why are you asking these questions?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’ve been doing charity work lately, specifically helping children from impoverished families go to school.” Chen Ling looked around. “I see your living conditions aren’t very good either… Besides, we seem to have a connection. If she needs help, I can sponsor her a portion of her expenses.”

Li Shangfeng was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head:

“No need… Although we don’t have parents, we’re not a poor family. My own income is enough to support her schooling… Boss, you should use your money to help those who are even poorer.”

Wow~~

Where Li Shangfeng couldn't see, many members of the Twilight Society gaped in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that the madman Red Heart 9 could say such a thing, and applauded him enthusiastically as if he were a child.

Chen Ling also looked at him with surprise for a few moments, then fell into deep thought.

Before Chen Ling arrived, she had already obtained detailed information from Liu Qingyan. According to the development of the Five Dynasties world, Li Wanhua suffered a serious illness in her childhood, and her health had been weak ever since. Later, someone who failed to reach a business deal with Li Shangfeng secretly kidnapped Li Wanhua, intending to use her to blackmail Li Shangfeng…

Unexpectedly, Li Wanhua's body was too weak, and she died of illness during the process. Upon learning of this, Li Shangfeng was furious and killed twelve people in one night, slaughtering their entire families, and eventually became a wanted person in the region.

This is the regret that Heart9 wants to make up for.

but……

"Brother, the school is collecting textbook fees tomorrow, can you give me some gold coins?" Just as Chen Ling was deep in thought, a playful figure trotted out of the house, shaking Li Shangfeng's shoulder and saying in a coquettish tone.

Then she realized something, glanced at Chen Ling who was wandering around the factory with a puzzled look, and whispered to Li Shangfeng:

"Are there any guests?"

"This isn't an ordinary customer, this is the big boss!" Li Shangfeng had just acquired a gold bar and was in the midst of his extravagance, but realizing it wouldn't be appropriate to flaunt it in front of the boss, he took out a few bills from his pocket, handed them to Li Wanhua, and then waved his hand dismissively.

"Take it and spend it! Spend it however you like!"

"Wow! Li Shangfeng! Did you win the lottery?! You're spending so lavishly today?!" Li Wanhua exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise.

Chen Ling carefully examined the energetic Li Wanhua; she didn't look weak at all.

Therefore, in this world, Li Wanhua did not suffer from any serious illness and can now go to school like an ordinary person... Moreover, judging from the security of the Chengtian Realm, there should be no one forcibly kidnapping people. In this respect, Ying Fu has done a very good job.

Does this mean that even if everything continues as usual, the regret of the 9 of Hearts will not happen?

Chen Ling felt a little relieved...

In any case, it's good that the regret won't repeat itself. Since we can't help those in need, it's not bad to add to their happiness.

Chen Ling flicked her clothes and walked straight out of the factory.

"Boss, are we leaving already?" Li Shangfeng asked. "When are you going to bring the car over for repairs?"

"Let's wait a while. I've been quite busy lately. Anyway, I've already given you the deposit, so even if I change my mind later, it's still yours." Chen Ling then pulled out two more gold bars from somewhere and handed them to Li Shangfeng.

Li Wanhua, who was standing to the side, was even more shocked when she saw this scene, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Actually, I had already inquired about you before I came. Your repair skills are indeed quite good... I have high hopes for you."

"I think your repair shop is still too small. Consider these two as an investment. You can return three to me in ten years, no problem?"

Chen Ling's string of words completely baffled the Li siblings. They could understand each word clearly, but when put together, it was like a book written in heaven.

Before the brother and sister could react, Chen Ling waved her hand and disappeared down the street, leaving behind three heavy gold bars lying in Li Shangfeng's arms...

……

"You just gave them three gold bars like that?" Chu Muyun walked beside Chen Ling, laughing and crying at the same time. "What if that kid Red Heart 9 has a too good life and doesn't want to join the Twilight Society anymore?"

Chen Ling sighed deeply:

"He did enough for the Twilight Society in the previous world... If he doesn't want to join, then being a small business owner in the Chengtian Realm and living a peaceful life with Li Wanhua wouldn't be so bad, would it?"

“That’s true.” Chu Muyun nodded. “This is something the Twilight Society owes him.”

"I'll have Qingyan keep an eye on things here, so we can help if anything happens again."

As Chen Ling spoke, she unleashed a mental storm, relaying the situation here to Liu Qingyan, who was far away in the ancient brothel.

"Understood," Liu Qingyan replied.

"Lord Red King, the clues you asked me to investigate regarding the remnants of the Alchemy Society have been summarized..."

"Oh?" Chen Ling raised an eyebrow.

"Currently, all our leads seem to point to one place..."

"Where?"

"Chengtian Realm, Grand Historian's Office."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Ling suddenly stopped in her tracks...

Taishi Si... He felt like he'd heard that name somewhere before?

The members of the Twilight Society were following behind Chen Ling, chattering as they strolled through the streets. When they saw Chen Ling suddenly stop, they looked at each other in confusion... The next moment, they saw Chen Ling turn around and quickly walk towards Li Shangfeng's factory.

Although the commune members were puzzled, they still quickly followed.

The Alchemy Society, the Imperial Observatory...

How did Li Shangfeng get involved with them?

Chen Ling crossed the street along the way she came and returned to the factory gate. The factory gate was now closed, and the repair shop seemed to have closed for the day; it was eerily quiet inside.

An ominous premonition rose in Chen Ling's heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, he cleaved open the heavy iron lock on the factory building with a single stroke, then pushed it forcefully...

Squeak——!!

The rusty iron gate made a dull thud.

Inside the factory, a brother and sister, their faces painted with colored crayons that spelled out "wealth" and "overbearing" respectively, held gold bars in their left hands and celebratory ribbons in their right, laughing wildly and dancing like madmen...

When they saw Chen Ling, who had turned back unexpectedly, appear at the door like a ghost, their figures were like statues...

Suddenly frozen in time.
