After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"How can you say that someone deserves to die!" Meng Yin turned around, but found that the person was gone.

"Oh my god, could he really be an assassin or something who came to inquire about Gu Ling? I shouldn't have caused any trouble for Gu Ling..." Meng Yin looked at the still shaking window and judged that this man must have extremely high martial arts skills.

She walked over to her desk and continued working.

"Master Xiahou, Master Xiao." Xia Nian saw the two and walked up.

"Ms. Xia, why are you wearing a veil?" Xiao Xian asked.

Xia Nian smiled slightly: "We have to leave some mystery for the audience."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Xian nodded. He was looking forward to seeing Xia Nian dancing.

Xia Nian took the two of them upstairs.

In the room, Yiqing, Yian, Pei Xuanxi, and Gu Huai were chatting about something.

"Master Xiahou, what a coincidence, we meet again." Yi An stood up.

"Yeah, if I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come." Xiahou Yu said expressionlessly.

"Haha, Master Xiahou really knows how to joke." Gu Huai said.

Xiahou Yu ignored him and pushed Xiao Xian in.

"Miss Xia, come with me." He said to Xia Nian.

This scene happened to be noticed by Yi An inside.

Xiahou Yu brought Xia Nian to the corner of the corridor.

He looked at Xia Nian's waist: "Where is the token I gave you?"

Xia Nian was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to ask this: "I left it at home."

Xiahou Yu frowned and said, "Why not bring it with you? I gave it to you so that you can use it for self-defense."

Xia Nian lowered his eyes: "Because it was given to me by Master Xiahou, it is very important, I am afraid of losing it..."

She put her hands together and didn't look him in the eye, seeming very aggrieved. Xiahou Yu suddenly felt that his tone was a little harsh.

He quickly explained: "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that I...I..."

Xia Nian looked at him, what happened to him?

"I'm worried that you might be in danger..." He spoke the last few words very softly, and Xia Nian didn't hear them clearly at all.

"What did you say, sir?" Xia Nian asked.

"It's okay, Miss Xia, don't worry about it." He touched the back of his neck irritably and walked towards the room.

Xia Nian looked at his back, thoughtfully.

-

The first day of opening was fruitful.

The group of people were almost exhausted after closing time.

Fortunately, Tao Tao left some food for everyone, and everyone sat around together, feeling very happy.

"Cheers to our victory!" Meng Yin raised his glass, and several people raised it together.

"cheers!"

Xia Nian looked at Ye Man: "Xiao Man, how much did we earn today? Just tell me the profit."

Xiaoman blurted out: "I earned more than a thousand taels of silver."

Most of them make a lot of money from food and chess and card rooms.

"Great!" Xu Zheng clapped her hands in approval.

"Now I have money to decorate the store." Meng Yin rubbed his hands, a little impatient.

Xia Nian nodded: "Yes, give a portion to Yinyin to let her decorate the store and stage, and take a few hundred taels to replenish the goods, and continue the business."

Everyone agrees.

They returned to Huayueju and waited for the children to rest. Then Xia Nian called everyone to the yard.

"What's wrong, Nian Nian?" Tao Tao asked.

Xia Nian looked around at everyone and said, "Our previous guess was correct. We had to split up. Xia Houyu told me about those families, and they turned out to be the first people we met when we arrived!"

The three of them looked at each other in disbelief.

"This seems like something from a novel I read... and we don't have a cheat code yet." Meng Yin said.

"Now we can only take one step at a time," said Tao Tao.

Seeing everyone so worried, Xu Zheng rolled her eyes and slapped the table: "Don't worry! Anyway, we have money to earn now, so just treat it as a trip."

"A Zheng, what if they split up again and we can't go back?" Tao Tao really admired her toughness.

"Well... let them split their money, and we just need to make our money." Xu Zheng said indifferently.

"Fortunately, we have a good relationship with them now. I think, should we get closer to them? Then we can persuade them better." Meng Yin suggested.

Xia Nian nodded: "I think so too."

"Oh my god, aren't we supposed to conquer them? We still don't know what Gu Ling looks like!" Meng Yin held her head and cried out in pain.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time." Tao Tao said.

Meng Yin stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I have to go paint. I still have a lot of pictures to paint. I won't do this anymore. Making clothes is more suitable for me. When I have money, I will hire a group of showgirls and go back to my old job, haha."

Meng Yin has the fastest expression change speed among the four. She can be crying in one second and laughing in the next.

Everyone was infected by Meng Yin's emotions and went back to their rooms to sleep.

-

The man in black walked through the corridor and stopped in front of a room.

He knocked on the door and bowed his head and said, "Master Gu, I have found out everything."

Gu Ling put down what he was holding and said, "Come in."

The man in black pushed the door open and continued, "The girl you want me to inquire about is named Meng Yin. She is not from here. The other three people who are related to her are not from here either. These people seem to have some relationship with them all."

"Oh? What's the relationship?" Gu Ling became interested.

"The girl named Xia Nian was rescued from the water by Xiahou Yu's men Xiao Xian. She later killed the hijackers and saved a shipload of cargo." said the man in black.

"No wonder I saw those guys didn't make any moves for a long time, it turns out the plan has failed." Gu Ling's dark pupils showed no emotion.

"Yes, the other two are named Tao Tao and Xu Zheng. They were both rescued by Yi An and Pei Xuanxi when they were in danger." said the man in black.

"So that's how it is. So they came to Zhaoding City suddenly and met them by coincidence." Gu Ling said, crossing his legs.

The man in black nodded: "Yes, sir, do you suspect who sent them?"

Gu Ling grinned: "They are not. Xiahou Yu and his friends are not vegetarians. If they were, they would have been dead long ago."

The man in black nodded: "I see."

"Okay, you go down and keep an eye on her. Remember, if someone causes trouble for her, don't hesitate, just deal with it." Gu Ling stood up and looked out the window.

"As you command." The man in black put his hands on his chest, bent slightly, and walked out.

Looking at the sky full of stars, Gu Ling couldn't help but feel curious.

If Meng Yin were in front of him, how would she react? Would she still say those words of praise to him?

-

These days, everyone in Huayueju has been very busy.

Because the business in the store was very good, Tao Tao and Xu Zheng were overwhelmed every day, and Meng Yin's hands were shaking from painting. She originally thought that no one would come if it was not free, but she did not expect that a large number of people would come. They were happy when collecting the money, but wailed when painting.

The children were also very busy. They got several new sets of clothes. Xia Nian asked them to be clean children, and they obeyed and took a bath every two days.

Although Xia Nian did not need to be in the store, she had to practice dancing in the yard and work with the musicians every day. She had to hang on the stage for two hours after closing time. Xiao He and a few others also needed to familiarize themselves with when to let down the flowing ribbons.

After more than a week of training, the day for Xia Nian to perform on stage has finally arrived.
