I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Anhe University, rooftop.

Xiao Baihua leaned against the railing, the wind blowing through her long, black hair, her beautiful face displaying an expression of waiting for her prey to come to her.

She turned around, her expression shifting to that of a pitiful, innocent flower. She looked at Xie Qiu and the people around her with a panicked expression: "What...what do you want to do?"

Xie Qiu's beautiful face was filled with jealousy and resentment. She approached Xiao Baihua and asked, "What are you doing? Are you using this face, which looks similar to mine, to seduce Tu Heyi?"

Xiao Baihua shook her head: "No, it's that he said he likes me!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qiu raised her hand to slap her.

Xiao Baihua twisted her ankle and fell to the ground, dodging the slap.

Xie Qiu stepped forward and grabbed her, raising her hand to strike, but Xiao Baihua's words made her stop.

A familiar feeling lingered in Xiao Baihua's eyes, which filled her with a sense of disgust, as if she were remembering a dead person.

Xiao Baihua: "Did you kill Tu Heyi's childhood sweetheart?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qiu's eyes were filled with disdain, her lips were bright red, and her words were pure malice, as if the dead one was a leech: "I didn't kill him... I pushed him down myself!"

Xiao Baihua's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously clenched her fists. She lowered her head, her voice tinged with a hint of mystery: "Why did you do this? Just because he and Tu Heyi are childhood sweethearts?"

"But there was nothing romantic between them—"

Xie Qiu pinched her face and lifted her head, his gaze like a venomous snake licking her beautiful and bright face: "Yes, there's nothing ambiguous about it. But—"

I will not allow Tu Heyi to have anyone in his heart, not even the slightest bit!

"Childhood sweethearts should keep their distance; she brought this on herself."

Xiao Baihua raised her hand and grabbed the hand that was pinching her cheek, tightening her knuckles. Her gaze was fixed on Xie Qiu, whose face was contorting with pain.

"Haven't she always kept her distance from Tu Heyi? It's clearly Tu Heyi who insisted on getting close to her!"

Xiao Baihua stood up, no longer wanting to pretend. How could someone be so jealous and terrifyingly love-struck?

The information states that Tu Heyi had been harassing Qingmei, even arguing with Xie Qiu over it, but Qingmei was completely unaware of it.

If Xie Qiu hadn't repeatedly caused her trouble, she wouldn't have realized it. After realizing it, she mentioned that she would treat Tu Heyi as a stranger.

Tu Heyi was unwilling, so she had no choice but to unilaterally sever ties, which became the fuse that ignited the conflict between them.

Tu Heyi and Xie Qiu's argument got even worse.

Despite being ostracized by others, Xie Qiu stubbornly survived, seemingly unaffected.

How can this be!

She cornered Qingmei on the rooftop, the same place, but with a different person.

Xie Qiu got even angrier: "Yes, Tu Heyi refuses to break off relations, but isn't she going to break off relations with Tu Heyi? If that's the case, then break off relations cleanly."

Nothing is cleaner than death!

Xiao Baihua didn't understand: "You're from the same school, how could you never see each other? You're just making excuses this time!"

Xie Qiu laughed, a wild and unrestrained laugh: "That's right, how can we not see each other when we're in the same school? That's why I pushed her, so we can never see each other again if she dies."

“I even made her a witness to the love between Tu Heyi and me.”

Xiao Baihua remained silent: "Did you spread those rumors that her suicide became a thorn in your side?"

Xie Qiu: "That's right, I can't let a dead person get between us. If she did it on purpose, Tu Heyi would only feel sorry for me after we had our argument."

Xiao Baihua found her reason for killing people ridiculous, and she squeezed her fingers hard, making a cracking sound.

"Ah—let go!"

"Grab her right now!"

Xie Qiu's face contorted with pain, but she didn't forget to give instructions to the people next to her.

Xiao Baihua frowned, stood up, and pulled Xie Qiu to her side. Although she had been practicing for a while, she had never actually fought a real battle.

She was unsure.

Xiao Baihua slowly backed away, and suddenly saw someone in her eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Moments later, a group of people were tied up on the rooftop.

Xiao Baihua looked down at the still arrogant Xie Qiu and said with pity, "You're pathetic."

Xie Qiu broke down: "What's so sad about me? I have a boyfriend that everyone envies, and I'm a musical genius."

Xiao Baihua: "Your boyfriend has already broken up with you, and your title of 'genius musician' is nothing more than something you paid someone to give you."

Xie Qiu: "He would never break up with me. You're just jealous of me."

Xiao Baihua rolled her eyes: "Yeah, I'm jealous of you. I'm jealous that you're not as vicious, as shameless, or as arrogant as you, that you can treat human life like dirt."

Wei Yan remained silent for a long time before finally uttering, "...Is this what Cai Yi taught you?"

Xiao Baihua shyly brushed a strand of black hair behind her ear: "Isn't this a good idea?"

Caiyi says that people should keep things simple; thinking too much will only make you tired.

You can do whatever you want right now, as long as it doesn't break the law or violate morality.

Wei Yan shook her head: "It's fine."

That's how they can stay in this job longer. They've seen so much shady and disgusting stuff that their hearts start to darken.

How's Caiyi doing lately?

Xiao Baihua asked.

Wei Yan didn't answer her. He watched as the police arrived and took these people back, and then he went back with them.

Xiao Baihua thought that Wei Yan might not know the situation, so she could ask her herself.

She called Caiyi, and a voice with a heavy nasal tone sounded in her ear. Her expression changed, and she said, "Caiyi, are you infected?"

Caiyi: "..."

How did Little White Flower know so quickly?

"Don't worry, it's just a minor cold. It'll be fine in a few days."

Cai Yi glanced at He Anyao, who was already delirious from the fever on the bed, and smiled as he comforted the little white flower.

Xiao Baihua didn't believe it was such a coincidence, but she didn't ask any further questions. Cai Yi's silence was probably because he didn't want her to worry. As long as she urged Tu Heyi to develop the new virus vaccine as soon as possible, Cai Yi would be fine...

Caiyi forced himself to stay awake and talked to her for a long time to prevent her from overthinking.

She didn't expect that Xiaobaihua was actually by Tu Heyi's side. If that's the case, then a new virus vaccine should be developed soon, right?

No one is unafraid of death; she wanted to live a good life.

"Little White Flower, don't push yourself. They're in danger. I'm fine. Look at me, I'm in good spirits. Don't be impatient."

Cai Yi gave her some instructions, but kept his eyes on He Anyao. Seeing that He Anyao's face was abnormally flushed, he made an excuse to hang up. Her exaggeratedly surprised tone reached Xiao Baihua's ears through the earphone.

"My seafood feast has arrived! I'm not talking to you anymore, bye-bye!"

Xiao Baihua looked at the phone that had just been hung up. Although the person sounded fine, she didn't really believe it.

Caiyi is very good at disguising himself, especially with people he is close to and familiar with.

She redialed, pinched her nose, and a thick, nasal voice came out: "Hey, Heyi, I think I've caught a cold too."

Where are you? I'm coming—

Tu Heyi held the data in his hand.

"No need! I... I mean you're busy, I'll come find you."

Xiao Baihua refused outright; she wasn't after this ordinary-looking man to keep her company.

She just wanted to find out where he was and whether he was researching a new virus vaccine.

After all, Ming said that Xie Qiu's storyline is not over yet, so he can't be sentenced now, he can only be detained for a few days.

During this time, she needs to hurry up and make this ordinary man fall in love with her, so that he can be used by the family.

Xiao Baihua hurried to the medical building, wearing a mask to avoid being discovered.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Tu Heyi stepped forward, took her hand, and put his arm around her shoulder.

Xiao Baihua: "..."

Going to work, going to work, this is going to work, stay calm, stay calm... I can't stay calm at all!

She broke free from Tu Heyi, her bright eyes brimming with tears, and mentally prepared herself: "...Heyi, I might be infected. Don't get too close to me, I'm afraid I'll infect you."

“I’m infected, and I’m terrified. I just want to watch you from afar so I won’t be afraid, but I don’t want you to get infected too.”

"You are contributing to the people of the whole country right now, I can't hold you back."

"This is a great opportunity for you to achieve success and fame. I can't hold you back, so I'll just watch from afar."

Tu Heyi was initially unhappy because of her struggles, but that's no longer the case.

He led Xiao Baihua into the medical building.

Xiao Baihua sat on a chair to the side, looking at Tu Heyi, who was wearing a white coat and had a serious look in his eyes, inside the glass container.

Such a brilliant mind, what a waste.

It is hoped that Wei Yan can imprison Xie Qiu in Tu Heyi's research and develop a new virus vaccine.

Several days have passed, and Xiao Baihua's once bright eyes have turned into panda eyes.

Tu Heyi wanted to pause several times, but Xiao Baihua reassured him with promises of a better future.

The cake was simple; PDD had someone write a 1,000-word thank-you letter.

PDD had someone send some insignificant little gifts.

PDD got some honorary certificates made by someone.

As for whether he believes it or not?

Ordinary men don't care about belief or disbelief; they are self-centered and don't think others would dislike them.

Xiao Baihua was a little anxious. Xie Qiu was going to be released tomorrow, and there was still no clue about Tu Heyi's research results.

She was so worried.

She called Caiyi quite often during this period, but Caiyi would only say a few words and then hang up.

This condition must be serious.

Cai Yi's condition is indeed serious; both of them are now bedridden and relying on Su Yuqian to deliver takeout and medication to their door every day to keep them alive.

Of course, it wasn't Su Yuqian delivering the food; how could a CEO like him deliver food?

Cai Yi placed the order, and he reluctantly brought it in.

Su Yuqian stood at the door, not leaving.

Cai Yi looked at He Anyao, who was leaning against the door with teary eyes, looking utterly exhausted. Perhaps she had caught his sympathy, because her words weren't very pleasant: "Why are you all acting like it's a life-or-death situation?"

"You're all still alive and well, what's there to be sad about? I'm all stuck here alone, not saying a word, and no one's comforting me. Aren't I even more heartbroken and upset?"

"At least you can keep each other company, but many people outside are just waiting to die because they are infected."

"They don't have enough money for treatment, and the country is also short of funds. I haven't seen you donate a single penny to help alleviate their suffering!"

Caiyi admitted that she was standing on a moral high ground, but that's just who she is; otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of coming here for a part-time job—it's all for the money.

It's foolish not to take advantage of a bargain; people are naturally inclined to seek out bargains.

The money they gave her could support her for several lifetimes.

She... also hoped that those people could benefit from the protagonists' wealth.

For some of them, life was already difficult enough, and now this new virus has emerged, which is like the last straw for their lives.

The rope breaks at its thinnest point simply because that gap can't withstand any tension.

"...What platforms can help them?"

With tears still clinging to her long eyelashes, He Anyao asked, her voice choked with emotion.

Cai Yi was stunned, then pinched her cheek; it was burning hot, but not as hot as the heat in her heart: "Thank you."

Su Yuqian also donated a lot.

Xu Qingming's eyes reddened as he looked at the money he had sent home. Too many people had died; this was just the beginning, and the death toll was already approaching ten thousand.

He didn't want to put pressure on Xiao Baihua, but the money was in place, and now all that was missing was the new virus vaccine.

Moreover... Caiyi's condition must be quite serious; he's coughing like that.

In short, he coughed almost the entire time.

With Su Yuqian and Cai Yi by her side, He Anyao's condition is not bad; although it is serious, her spirits are still good.

Caiyi was feeling rather listless; she had just coughed up blood on the ground.

"It's all my fault, I infected you—"

He Anyao was about to cry again, but Caiyi glared at her.

"No... cough cough cough... cough cough..."

She couldn't utter a complete sentence at all; later it became that she was lying in bed, and He Anyao was taking care of her.

He Anyao's face was pale, unlike her usual rosy and lively appearance. Her eyes were red and swollen, like a rabbit's eyes, because she had been crying frequently lately.

As Cai Yi spoke, a tearing pain shot through her throat. She reached out and touched He Anyao's slightly frizzy hair, typing on her phone with one hand.

It's okay, we'll have a vaccine for the new virus soon.

He Anyao hugged her and patted her, saying, "Yes, we'll all be alright, and you have to take care of yourself too."

"Once you get better, I'll buy you a house and a car, and give you a set of jewelry..."

He Anyao went on and on and on.

Cai Yi's eyes gleamed, like a final burst of energy before death, which startled her.

Seeing that Caiyi's spirits had improved considerably due to the motivation of money, He Anyao began to make empty promises to her every day.

Caiyi was completely corrupted by money, clinging to life with a glint in his eyes.

He Anyao: "..."

Okay, looks like I'll have to take this nanny out to see the world sometime. She'll be satisfied with these things; she's too pitiful.

……

Xiao Baihua bit her nails. This Tu Heyi is really a useless person. He hasn't figured it out after so long.

She said to Xu Qingming on the other end of the phone, "By the way, could we have the doctor come and work with Tu Heyi on this? Would that speed things up?"

Xu Qingming: "I tried. Tu Heyi was afraid that someone would share his credit, so he insisted on having someone go in. I tried to arrange for someone to go in, but they couldn't get in."

Xiao Baihua's eyes lit up: "In that case, I have a way. You arrange the people, and I'll find an opportunity to get them into the medical building."

Xu Qingming agreed, after all, he had no better solution, and those infected people couldn't afford to wait.

The money has been allocated, and the person should be cured; otherwise, it would be a waste of the kind-hearted donor's efforts.
