【British and American】My miserable life studying abroad

Wei Shengling woke up from the space and practiced light skills, hidden weapons, swordsmanship and internal strength as usual.

With the blessing of the three red fruits, she gained a total of nine years of internal energy, which greatly increased her strength. At the same time, the sense of security she felt was unparalleled.

After the practice, I planted the fields and watered them. The strawberries in the fields turned red again. I picked a few, washed them and put them in my mouth. They were sour and sweet, with a strong strawberry flavor. They were not like some strawberries on the market that were too watery and had no strawberry flavor at all, and were hollow.

Generally, fruits take a long time to grow, so they are enough for Wei Shengling to eat. As for the vegetables and rice, not only can’t we finish eating the ones we bought before, but more and more will be harvested later, and the warehouses are almost full.

It was a wrong decision. When I got the space, I thought it was going to be the end of the world or a time-travel story. I could never have too much food. I never expected that my home was still there and nothing happened. I was just trying to survive in a foreign country.

If I had known I wouldn't have bought so much...

After completing a series of tasks, the alarm clock outside the space rang. It was seven o'clock.

She went out of the space to make breakfast and cooked one serving of millet porridge in a small milk pot. She was already thinking about what to eat for lunch.

Since planting crops in a garden outside might lead to being reported to the community, Wei Shengling had no choice but to plant some ordinary vegetables on the small platform on the second floor to cultivate her sentiments. Many international students she knows grow their own vegetables.

Everything was done, and the car sent by Claire arrived downstairs. When Wei Shengling went out, he met Mrs. Thomson, who lived next door but whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Good morning, Suki," Mrs. Thomson greeted with a smile, "It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes, I'm quite busy recently." Wei Shengling nodded with a smile, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to go out. I will visit you when I have time later."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Mrs. Thomson waved her hand.

Wei Shengling, who was sitting in the back seat, heard the driver's voice for the first time after the car had been driving for a while: "Ms. Su Ji, is your neighbor called Gina Ian?"

what?

She thought for a moment and said, "It's Gina, but the last name is..."

"That's right," the driver said solemnly, "It is said that she married a Mr. Thomson and changed her last name. You must be careful of Gina Ian. When she was young, she was the leader of a gang, mainly engaged in arms trafficking and other businesses. Few people dare to mess with her."

"To this day, many people still buy arms from her."

Wei Sheng Ling: ...

She suddenly remembered that when she was going to get a hunting license, Mrs. Thompson introduced her to a lawyer and said that her family sold guns.

It turned out to be a gun sales company, just on a billion-dollar scale.

The driver didn't want to say this, but Wei Shengling was an important guest of his employer, so for her safety, he still spoke up and reminded her.

"……Thank you."

I had heard before that the material supplier of the bakery where Liuzi worked was a drug lord and the fitness coach was a gang boss. Now it was her turn to face this situation.

Arriving at Lynn Manor, Claire was waiting in the study. The maid knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."

The maid opened the door and Wei Shengling walked in. He saw Claire looking up from behind the desk. Her blonde hair was tied up, and she wore a pair of silver frameless glasses on her nose. She held a folder and a pen in her hands, and there was a laptop on the desk.

Sophisticated and elegant.

"Good morning, Suki." Claire's eyebrows curved slightly. She closed the folder in her hand and put the pen aside. "Come and take a look at this."

There was a chair next to the desk, so she walked over and sat down. Claire pulled up a surveillance video on the computer, which showed the two of them walking along this road.

“This is the path we took before we walked out of the police station and went our separate ways.” She switched to another video. “Look at this.”

The above is a video of a girl stealthily digging something out from the side of the road. She first opened the package in her hand, took out a set of protective clothing and put it on, and then started digging.

Claire paused the video and zoomed in on the image. "Does it look familiar?"

Wei Shengling thought for a moment and said, "It was one of the two girls you met on the street the day you encountered the murder case at Columbia University. You mistook them for your lovers, but they had different feelings for each other."

"It's her, Amy." Claire moved the progress bar back a bit. The time in the upper right corner showed that about two hours later, another girl also dug something out there. She was not wearing protective clothing.

"Another international student who is inseparable from Amy, Du Na."

"These two..." Wei Shengling didn't expect that there would be a role for these two people. "What are they doing?"

"I asked someone to go to their workplace yesterday and ask them about it. They both told me everything very quickly." Claire lightly described the whole process.

"I had mistaken them for a couple before, because Chinese girls are always very close to each other, and couples framing each other is even more despicable, so I recognized them at first sight."

Frame each other?

"To put it simply, one person starts studying abroad in middle school and looks down on those who start studying abroad in college, while the other person is jealous of the other person because he earns more money than he can."

"..."

"?"

No wonder it is said that the people you need to be most careful of when you are abroad are actually your compatriots. Wei Shengling is very lucky, as the few compatriots he met were all very good people.

"The two of them being sneaky this time was also designed by one of them."

Claire pointed at Amy in the first video, who was wearing a protective suit. Her surveillance angle was a little strange.

"This is not a surveillance video, but a dashcam video. Someone's car was waiting for someone over there. Amy was wearing protective clothing in a blind spot. She was very cautious."

"Then why didn't you put it on from the beginning? Are you afraid of attracting attention?" Wei Shengling was full of suspicion.

"There is another road surveillance camera here," Claire adjusted the screen. "At this time, Amy doesn't have that surveillance camera. The protective suit was given to her by someone else when there was no surveillance camera."

Duana is jealous of Amy, and Amy looks down on Duana, but they still maintain superficial intimacy.

"Someone gave Amy $3,000 and a protective suit and asked her to go dig. When she saw the protective suit, she realized something was wrong and decided to look for Duana. Amy only dug out half of the things, and then gave Duana $200 to help dig out the other half without any warning or protective suit."

The middlemen make a lot of money.

Wei Shengling felt a chill in his heart, this...

too frightening.

"But I saw that they were both fine before the holiday..."

"This is also what I don't understand," Claire's fingers tapped the table regularly. "According to earlier surveillance, something here was buried by an unknown person on the morning of the murder. He covered it up tightly, so I can't see who it was."

"It was not until yesterday that I asked someone to look for Duana that I discovered that she had only recently started to behave abnormally. I started to feel unwell the day I returned, so why did Duana start to feel unwell only a few months later?"

"Is there something wrong with me or with Duana?"
