After leaving the police station, Su Ran felt like her whole body was falling apart, a lingering effect of the "Floating Sword" technique.

She was having so much fun impersonating Jiang Meng that she almost killed the lewd man if the system hadn't reminded her.

How come she never realized she had this talent for split personality before?

"Hey! Heroine! Please wait a moment!" Zhu Hong, with a bandage on her forehead, walked out with her legs clamped together.

"Call me?" Su Ran pointed to herself. She looked left and right, but there were no other women at the door.

Zhu Hong waved away the person supporting her and limped over. As if remembering something, she even made a fist-and-palm gesture with a martial arts flair, and looked at Su Ran with intense fervor.

"It's you, heroine! I'll repay even the smallest kindness tenfold, let alone the one who saved my life. Tell me, if anything happens to you, I'll do anything for you, even at the cost of my life!"

"..." Faced with Zhu Hong's enthusiasm, Su Ran was speechless for a moment.

"You're welcome, it's easy."

"How can something so dangerous be considered a small favor? How about this, heroine, let's exchange contact information. If you ever need any help in the future, be sure to call me first!"

As Zhu Hong spoke, she waved, and someone immediately handed her paper and pen. She quickly wrote down a string of numbers and was about to stuff it into Su Ran's pocket.

Su Ran instinctively dodged backward, and Zhu Hong missed the number paper in her hand.

It was a little awkward for a while.

Zhu Hong is clearly the kind of person who knows how to save face.

A big smile spread across her face. "As expected of a chivalrous woman, she helps people without even leaving her name."

Su Ran forced a tug at her lips beneath the mask.

"I have work to do, I have to go now." Brother Bo just called several times, saying that most of the customers today came specifically for her, and if she doesn't start work soon, she won't get paid for the day.

"Hey, hey, heroine!" Zhu Hong frowned and chased after her. "You have to give me a chance. I never owe anyone a favor, otherwise this matter will stay in my heart forever."

"Then let's not bother with it." Su Ran tightened her hat and walked out without looking back.

"Wait!" Unable to catch up due to her leg injury, Zhu Hong could only call out from behind, "How about I introduce a job to you, heroine? Ten thousand a month, four hours a day, two days off a week!"

It's just work, right? Zhu Hong has plenty of work to do.

Su Ran's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.

This job pays much better than working part-time at a haunted house...

Seeing Su Ran stop, Zhu Hong smiled broadly, expecting the heroine to turn around immediately, carefully inquire about the work details, and then smoothly exchange numbers.

The woman paused for a few seconds, then continued walking forward without looking back.

As she walked, she kept complaining, "Am I crazy or is she crazy? Does this kind of job even exist these days? Even if you're really rich, you don't spend your money like this."

The little butterfly replied: "Yes, yes."

"Don't go, heroine! I'm telling the truth!" Zhu Hong called out from behind with a sorrowful expression. This was the first time in her life that someone had doubted her.

The phone started vibrating in the bag.

Su Ran glanced at the caller ID; it was Brother Bo calling.

"Hey Bo, I just finished dealing with it and I'm coming right now."

“You don’t need to come over,” Brother Bo replied.

"?" Su Ran asked in confusion and some anxiety, "Brother Bo, is it because I didn't do well enough? Why don't you want me anymore?"

Given her current appearance, she really can't think of any other job that would hire her except for playing ghosts or dolls.

Bo sighed and said, "Your video has gone viral recently, and a lot of people are coming here because of it. This has attracted the attention of other haunted houses, and we have been reported for failing to meet fire safety standards. We have to suspend operations for rectification."

"Huh?" Su Ran was a little anxious. What should she do?

Bo Ge said angrily, "Those people, they do all sorts of despicable things. So what if their business is a little better than theirs? Is it really that big of a deal?"

"Xiao Su, I'll call you again when we're ready to open."

"Okay, Brother Bo," Su Ran replied listlessly.

Su Ran's secondhand phone wasn't muted, and Zhu Hong, who had been helped over, overheard it and thought to herself, "My chance has come!"

"Heroine, look at me, I won't let you lose your job." Zhu Hong looked at Su Ran with sincere eyes.

Su Ran glanced at the little butterfly, and the little butterfly immediately understood.

The enormous light screen unfolded, scanned the vermilion, and displayed the complete information in less than three seconds.

Name: Zhu Hong

Age: 35

Identity: General Manager and heir of the Zhu family's large supermarket chain...

After reviewing Zhu Hong's information, Su Ran was convinced that she wasn't bluffing.

Su Ran pulled up her mask and asked Zhu Hong, "Do you have any requirements regarding the appearance of your employees?"

Zhu Hong subconsciously answered quickly, "I don't have many requirements, as long as the features are decent and the face isn't weird—" At this point, Zhu Hong's tone took a sharp turn.

She noticed Su Ran's calloused and rough hands, as well as some scars on the back of her hands that were only visible upon close inspection.

She changed her tune, saying, "It's not a beauty pageant, so what are the requirements for appearance?"

Zhu Hong thought to herself, "The female knight-errant is a martial artist after all, so she must be different from ordinary people. She must have some kind of scar on her face that she doesn't want others to know about, which is why she's hiding it so mysteriously."

Su Ran looked at Zhu Hong carefully for a few moments, then thought of the seemingly endless news from Brother Bo, and recalled the receptionist's words about Brother Bo's legendary feat of closing the shop whenever something happened...

She asked Zhu Hong, "Can I go to work tomorrow?"

Zhu Hong introduced her to a job as a personal assistant.

The specific work location is in Kyoto.

Zhu Hong said she has a house in Kyoto where her cousin lives.

When his cousin was mentioned, Zhu Hong's expression was indescribable.

“My cousin is extremely difficult to deal with. He has kicked out all the nannies, housekeepers, and hourly workers.”

She looked at Su Ran with a hopeful expression, her voice full of emotion: "Heroine! From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you could definitely control my mad cousin!"

Su Ran frowned; she sounded like a rebellious teenager.

"You want me to go over and discipline your cousin?"

"No, no, no, heroine, you don't need to confront that madman directly. My cousin is a madman who locks himself in his room every day. He goes crazy at the slightest sound. Last time, the cleaning lady just touched his book while cleaning, and he chased her away."

"So what do I need to do?"

"Just make sure I prepare three meals a day for that madman—no, I mean, for my cousin, and then I don't get chased away by him," Zhu Hong thought. As long as she didn't get chased away by that madman, she would be thankful.

"Cooking? I can cook. Do you have any special requirements regarding food?"

"No, it's an honor for that guy to eat the food cooked by the heroine. Even if you just buy two big steamed buns from outside, as long as he takes a bite, our whole family will be grateful to you!"

It sounds like a rebellious, picky eater going through puberty.

Su Ran thought that she was going to Kyoto anyway after summer vacation, so going ahead now wouldn't be a bad thing.

Even though something happened to Brother Bo, Su Ran still felt that everything was moving in a positive direction.

On her way to pick up her grandmother from the physiotherapy clinic, she felt a mix of trepidation and a touch of joy.

But she met someone she never expected.

Her former brother, Shi An.
