Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 144: Win Dust: Borrow Qiao Chuchu for a few days
Lou Ting Si smiled apologetically: "Maybe I'm just too tired, it's nothing."
Qiao Chuchu furrowed her brow in concern: "Is it because of Zhi Changming's betrayal that you're having nightmares? You're still shaken up, right? I'm not sleepy anymore either. How about I accompany you for some fresh air?"
She glanced at the time: "It's exactly five in the morning now, I can't sleep either. In a little while, the sky will be bright."
Lou Ting Si froze for a moment, a flicker of subtle joy flashed in his eyes: "Alright, I actually have something I want to show you."
He picked up the small blanket from the sofa and draped it over her shoulders: "Come with me."
Qiao Chuchu walked beside him, sneaking glances at him from the corner of her eye.

Sigh, so pitiful, betrayed by the brother he raised himself.
If I were him, I’d probably cry to death. It’d take at least a week to recover from such a setback, so it’s better to stay with him and distract him.
Lou Ting Si lowered his eyelashes, the corners of his mouth curling up slowly. His smile finally deepened, no longer superficial, but instead with a soft, lingering warmth.
He led Qiao Chuchu down the corridor, straight to the underground parking lot.
Not far ahead, a low-key yet stylish black-and-red Lamborghini was parked.
He pointed to the car: "What do you think of that car?"
Qiao Chuchu squinted her eyes and carefully looked at it, her eyes widening in awe: "So cool! It's so beautiful, is it your car?! Can I touch it?!"
Lou Ting Si smiled brightly, all the tension in his heart instantly dissipating: "This isn’t my car."
He took the car keys from his pocket, snapped out of his thoughts, and handed them to Qiao Chuchu: "From today, this is your car—eh? Where’d you go?"
Lou Ting Si froze, staring behind him.
The bright underground parking lot was empty.
Qiao Chuchu, who had been chattering beside him just moments ago, had disappeared without a trace!
He took a few steps: "Miss Qiao? Qiao Chuchu?"
No answer.
Lou Ting Si’s unease grew as he pulled out his phone and dialed Qiao Chuchu’s WeChat.
The pleasant sound of music echoed through the parking garage—
"You love me~ I love you~ Mìxuě bīngchéng tiánmìmì~"
He followed the sound and found Qiao Chuchu's phone resting peacefully on the ground, with his own avatar and nickname visible on the screen.
Next to her phone, there was another phone.
He quickly picked it up and unlocked the screen.
A video was waiting to be played.
In the video, Ying Chen arrogantly sat on a leather sofa, holding a wine glass up to the camera: "Lou Ting Si, I'm Ying Chen. By the time you see this phone, Qiao Chuchu will already be taken by my men. I heard her inner thoughts and found out she has spies around her, so as long as I use her to find the spies, I'll return her. You don’t need to waste your time looking for her, I’ll make sure to inform her family. That’s it, goodbye."
Lou Ting Si: "?"
????
Qiao Chuchu was taken right under his nose by Ying Chen?!
He quickly dialed Song Yu’s number: "Song Yu, Qiao Chuchu is missing, get people to find her fast!"
Qiao Chuchu was unceremoniously thrown into a stretched Lincoln.
She crashed onto the leather seats, her body flailing as she hit the floor, unable to regain her balance for a while: "Damn it, who is this?! Who’s covering my mouth and not letting me talk?!"
She was furious and struggled to prop herself up: If it wasn’t for my Dali Pill being ineffective, if I wasn’t in the exhaustion period from using my skill, could I have been captured like this?!
She angrily lifted her eyes, only to meet Ying Chen’s gaze.
Qiao Chuchu froze: "Ying Chen?!"
Ying Chen’s handsome face curled up in a smile, looking down at her from above. He held a glass of whiskey in his hand and said with amusement: "Qiao Chuchu, I haven’t slept all night, waiting to catch you. But you, you actually slept through, then went to check out sports cars with Lou Ting Si. Was the sports car to your liking?"
He swirled the wine in his glass, his tone dripping with meaning: "I should remind you, Wei Sheng Huai Ling is a man with a strong sense of jealousy. If you keep spreading your affections like this, he might just kill someone."
Qiao Chuchu squinted her eyes, confused.
What’s this about?
Why is it all in Chinese, but I still don’t understand?!
She smiled gently: "You’re crazy, aren’t you? What kind of nonsense are you talking? Why did you capture me without even saying hello? Aren’t you supposed to have manners?!"
Ying Chen crossed his legs, confidently watching her: "I have something I want to ask of you, and only you can do it. If you help me with this task, I’ll let you go, and I’ll even give you a billion."
Qiao Chuchu fell silent.
She slowly sat up straight.
She adjusted her hair.
Straightened her back and crossed her legs.
With a serious look, she gazed at Ying Chen, lowering her voice to create a magnetic, bubbly tone: "Oh? I wonder what Mr. Ying needs my help with?"
Ying Chen raised an eyebrow, savoring the words "Mr. Ying" with interest: "Mr. Ying?"
Qiao Chuchu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Ying."
Ying Chen chuckled, setting down his glass and placing his hands on his legs: "I thought you weren’t interested in money. After all, your family’s so big and wealthy. A billion is just a small target for you."
Qiao Chuchu smiled: "That’s my brother’s small target, not mine. I can’t reach such small goals."
Ying Chen narrowed his eyes: "Isn’t your brother’s wealth yours?"
Qiao Chuchu continued to smile: "No, theirs is theirs, and mine is mine."
She paused, her smile fading, becoming serious: "So, what’s this one-billion-dollar project you need my help with?"
Ying Chen opened his mouth to speak, but Qiao Chuchu quickly added with a playful smile: "Just so you know, I won’t sell my body."
Ying Chen didn’t hesitate: "Don’t worry, your body’s not worth selling."
Qiao Chuchu: "Huh?"
Ying Chen moved a little closer: "Here’s the thing. There’s a spy by my side, but I can’t figure out who it is. I don’t know why, but somehow, I feel like you can."
Qiao Chuchu frowned, confused.
Why does he think I can do it?
Did I accidentally reveal my inner thoughts when I looked at him?
Damn, this guy’s plot is just as tricky as Lou Ting Si’s, but at least Lou Ting Si gave me a hint. Ying Chen didn’t even give me a clue.
The plot only vaguely hinted that Ying Chen will die because of betrayal, but I don’t know the details of how or why.
...This is a bit hard. Maybe I should just give up, though his death is tragic, but what does it have to do with me? I don’t have any emotional connection to him.
Based on my experience, these kinds of situations are exhausting and self-destructive. I only have four lives left, so it’s better to be cautious and use them on people I care about. As long as I keep Ying Chen alert, maybe he can solve this on his own.
That’s what I’ll do!
Qiao Chuchu opened her mouth to speak, but Ying Chen interrupted her: "I’ll raise the offer to three billion."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Ying Chen confidently looked at her: "Help me find the spy. Do we have a deal?"
Qiao Chuchu’s head buzzed, and she was instantly overwhelmed by the sight of so much wealth: "No problem!!"
Ying Chen curved his lips, giving her a harmless smile: "Good. You have two options: one, play the role of my new personal assistant; two, be my new girlfriend. Which one will you choose?"
