The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

I wonder what the boss went through in the past 24 hours.

He used to be a carefree rich kid, full of youthful energy, but now he has dark circles under his eyes, as if his life force has been drained.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Chang Ning asked cautiously.

Chu Xian glanced at her listlessly: "Your medicine is quite effective, but the side effects are a bit noticeable."

The 24-hour energy booster isn't useless, but it's too potent and too stimulating. If it hadn't passed testing, one would suspect it might be some kind of illegal substance.

Chu Xian said, "This doesn't count. Let's keep trying."

After saying that, he prepared to go back to catch up on his sleep, but then he remembered something and turned back: "But you still have a lot of talent, I believe in you, keep it up!"

He also said that if there were any difficulties, one should contact Secretary Zhuang directly for assistance.

Chang Ning was deeply moved. Where can you find a boss like this? He spends money and effort to support his employees' careers. You have to work like a slave for him.

With only six months left, Chang Ning bought another batch of old books online, some of which were even from ancient times and written in classical Chinese. Chang Ning struggled to read them and stumbled through them for nearly half a month before finally figuring out a formula.

One of the raw materials is called Dragon Blood Crystal, and Changning needs to find that unlicensed seller online.

Dragon Blood Crystal is not actually dragon blood, but a mineral produced in a special star system that has extremely strong spiritual transmission capabilities.

Some say that dragon blood crystals originated from a distant, ancient creature, the legendary dragon. Unfortunately, even in the interstellar age, no one has ever actually witnessed a dragon.

Chang Ning found the seller, who quickly gave a price quote, which was more expensive than the last time's Seletsu, at one star coin per gram. This time, no matter what she said, after she managed to bargain down the price, the other party refused to lower it any further!

Chang Ning had no choice but to reluctantly buy 30 grams and have the other party ship it over for free.

The other party was quite reliable after receiving the money, and sent the goods out in no time. However, he used freight, so Changning had to pick up the goods at the port himself.

The port is located at the border of the Upper City and Lower City. After Changning arrived, he swiped his code. Before the machine could deliver his package, a group of heavily armed police officers suddenly appeared.

Before Chang Ning could realize what was happening, she saw the group of police officers rushing towards her, shouting, "Don't move, hands up!"

Instantly, several guns were pointed at her!

Chang Ning was completely terrified and dared not move. Then another policeman shouted, "Hands up!"

Chang Ning's mind went blank. She shakily raised her hands, and someone immediately handcuffed her. Chang Ning was about to cry: "What crime have I committed?"

Why arrest her?

At this moment, a man who appeared to be the leader walked over and announced her crime: "You are suspected of involvement in smuggling. Come with us!"

Chang Ning: "???"

How come she didn't know when she got involved in smuggling?

When Chang Ning finally arrived at the police station, she realized what had happened. The unlicensed seller she had been trading with was a major smuggler. The police had been tracking him for a long time, and this time they had detected his dealings with Central Star, so they waited for him to come to them.

Chang Ning felt utterly wronged after hearing this, her eyes welling up with tears: "I just ordered something online..."

"Didn't you know that person didn't have a license?"

Chang Ning was on the verge of tears: "People with licenses don't sell this stuff!"

The police didn't care about any of that and told her to find someone to come and pay bail to release her, otherwise she would have to stay in the station for more than 15 days according to regulations.

Chang Ning only cared about: "How much is the bail?"

"Three times the transaction amount."

Nearly 100 million!

Chang Ning's heart clenched after calculating the number. Was she having a stroke of bad luck?

She started scrolling through her contacts again, looking for her boss?

They say she got arrested for buying lab supplies, how embarrassing!

But she either doesn't know the other people well or doesn't have the financial means, so her account is currently frozen and she can't withdraw the money.

After flipping through the pages, Chang Ning came across Gu Yanzhou again. Of course, she was too embarrassed to approach him directly, so she went to his secretary, Du Lin, instead.

Secretary Du doesn't seem to be short of money, and she only needs one person to bail her out; she'll pay the money back later!

So she sent a message first, asking Secretary Du if she was busy.

Secretary Du was probably still working overtime, and replied instantly: "Ms. Chang, what's the matter?"

Chang Ning then stammered out the story and asked if it would be convenient for him to come and help out now.

Dulin over there said okay, he'd be right over.

Chang Ning was deeply moved. Secretary Du was indeed handsome and kind-hearted.

After a while, a policeman came over and told her that the person who bailed her out had arrived, the formalities were completed, and she could leave.

Chang Ning leaped up and ran out, then exclaimed in surprise, "How come it's you?"

Du Lin didn't come at all; it was Gu Yanzhou who came.

Chang Ning felt extremely embarrassed, her toes practically digging into a police station: "Where's Secretary Du? Wasn't he supposed to be here?"

"His work is not finished."

Gu Yanzhou said, "Let's go, let's get out of here first."

"Oh."

He walked ahead with his tall and straight posture, while Chang Ning followed behind him with her head down, her mind a jumble of thoughts. How could things have turned out this way? She couldn't understand it.

Suddenly bumping into something, Chang Ning cried out and looked up, only to find that he had stopped and turned around at some point. Seeing her rubbing her forehead, he asked, "Does it hurt?"

Chang Ning immediately lowered her hand and shook her head. Although his chest was quite muscular, she only touched it lightly. Gu Yanzhou said, "Watch where you're going."

Like a primary school student, Chang Ning waited until he got into the car. There was no driver in the car, and the two sat facing each other. Chang Ning awkwardly said, "Thank you for today. I'll return the bail to you now."

Then she realized that all her savings came from this person, and she felt even more embarrassed.

"Need not."

"This was not caused by your own will."

Chang Ning was almost completely baffled by him. Even if it wasn't her intention, it didn't mean he was obligated to pay for it. She still reluctantly refused and transferred one million yuan to him via her personal terminal. "Thank you!"

Gu Yanzhou remained silent, and the atmosphere became increasingly awkward.

Chang Ning said, "Just drop me off nearby."

Gu Yanzhou ignored him and suddenly asked, "What research area are you currently exploring?"

Chang Ning said that this is the direction of intervention for bipolar disorder.

He then asked her why she needed to use a material called dragon's blood crystal.

This person is acting like a mentor. Chang Ning felt extremely awkward and mumbled an answer, saying that he had seen it in some ancient books and wanted to try it out.

It's not unusual to use ancient books these days, but the books that have been preserved are not complete. Many were destroyed during interstellar migrations and wars, so they are not of much use.

Gu Yanzhou didn't comment, only saying, "I have some related books at home, you can take them back and study them."
