Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 240 - 239: Exaggerated Acting

After a while, a round-faced girl dressed in a maid’s uniform came over with a glass of juice.

"Third Miss Yun, this is the juice that Eldest Lady Bai asked me to bring to you."

Yun Ran couldn’t help but want to laugh; these people really couldn’t lie convincingly.

She wasn’t a fool. How could anyone expect her to drink an open beverage handed to her by someone she had met for less than an hour without any suspicion?

But now, the persona she had set for herself was that of an easily deceived naive girl. If she didn’t give them a chance, how could she take the opportunity to hit them when they’re down?

Yun Ran’s eyes curved into a smile as she took the juice and even politely thanked the girl.

Others might not smell anything wrong with this juice, but that did not mean that Yun Ran couldn’t. She harbored a trace of disgust in her eyes.

This was really a waste – to spoil such nice juice.

In front of the girl, Yun Ran took a sip of the spiked juice and then very professionally acted as if she had been affected by the drug.

"Oh dear, why is my head spinning..."

While saying this, Yun Ran swayed a bit, then gently collapsed to the ground, appearing frail and helpless.

Ginsengfruit looked at the somewhat exaggerated Yun Ran and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It couldn’t vouch for other things, but with this kind of performance, if she entered the entertainment industry, she would certainly be infamous for her overacting.

[Host, you’re too over the top. When others are drugged, they faint with a ’duang’ and fall straight down; you’re slowly sitting down...]

Yun Ran: ... freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Let’s see you perform!"

Ginsengfruit immediately shut up while simultaneously keeping a watchful eye and keen ear in all directions, knowing their host was likely being monitored by many.

Yang Family Master was not a person from Xuan Sect; the host couldn’t use Xuan Sect’s methods in case someone caught her at it.

Now that Little Paperman couldn’t fly out to help keep watch over the host, the task had fallen to it to be vigilant, since no one else could detect its presence.

[Host, at your six o’clock, there’s a group of people watching you; they appear to be from Yang Family.

And at twelve o’clock, there’s another group. The aura of that group is almost completely concealed; if it weren’t for me, absolutely no one would have noticed.

I dare say, this group definitely knows you’re fishing for something and want to swoop in like a Huang Que, deliberately watching you, just waiting for you to slip up.]

Upon hearing Ginsengfruit’s report, Yun Ran’s lips curled into a cold, sinister smile, akin to a villain.

"I’m just waiting for them. At that time, they’ll be perfect to prove that I haven’t violated any rules and am also a victim, and everything I’ve done was merely self-defense."

By this time, Yun Ran was already lying on the ground. The round-faced maid’s heartbeat was accelerating. This was her first time harming someone, and she had no other choice.

Being overly anxious, she naturally hadn’t noticed how exaggerated Yun Ran’s actions had been beforehand.

With trembling hands, she took out her phone, pressed to send a message that was already composed, then hurriedly deleted the message – she even removed the SIM card.

Having done all of this, she pursed her lips, her eyes showing a struggle.

But thinking of some terrifying consequences, she snatched up the juice that Yun Ran had drunk from and bolted away.

A few minutes later, two sneaky men dressed in gardener attire, carrying a bag meant for plant fertilizer, stuffed Yun Ran inside it.

Then they pushed the cart and transported Yun Ran away.

The second group of watchers that Ginsengfruit had noted saw this scene and frowned deeply.

Isn’t this Yun Ran supposed to be a specially hired expert by the Special Administration Bureau? But why is she so foolish that a single cup of fruit juice could take her down.

"Now what do we do? The master ordered us to catch Yun Ran using Xuan Sect techniques red-handed, but now, she has just been dragged away like this, we..."

"Keep following her. Maybe when she encounters danger, she’ll use the Xuan Sect techniques.

Take all the related equipment with you, and as soon as the equipment is triggered, our mission is complete."

"But if, and I mean if, she runs into danger and doesn’t use Xuan Sect techniques, do we save her?"

"Don’t do anything unnecessary. Our only task is to keep an eye on her."

The man who was left behind immediately put away his sympathy. If there was anyone to blame, it was just that their positions were different.

Yun Ran was stuffed into a sack, and her eyes immediately snapped open, but unfortunately, she couldn’t use techniques to see through the bag to the outside.

But who would have guessed she had Ginsengfruit as her cheat code.

[Host, you will never guess where the entrance to this dungeon is. Tsk tsk tsk, if anyone comes searching without a guide, they’d never find this place.]

Who would have thought that the entrance to the dungeon was actually beneath a large tree?

Hua Jiang dragged Yun Ran out, and only after he locked her hands and feet with iron chains did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"This is the 23rd one we’ve dealt with, right? So pitiful, each one a wealthy family’s daughter, yet meeting such a tragic fate."

"Are you asking for death? Is this something you should say? Compassion from you? Have you finished paying off your housing and car loans? What about your gambling debts?"

"I was just saying. Why are you getting all worked up?"

"Quickly check if there’s any valuable jewelry on her..."

With that, the two men started to search Yun Ran’s wrists and neck.

The outcome, naturally, was that they found nothing. The one who had felt a flicker of sympathy for Yun Ran, Hua Jiang, now cursed out loud.

"Didn’t they say she’s a wealthy family’s daughter? How come there’s not a single valuable item on her, such bad luck!"

"Stop talking, it’s about time people will come. Let’s hurry and leave, we don’t want the Family Head to find out we’ve been here too long."

Disappointed at not finding any valuables, the two left in a huff.

After their footsteps faded, Yun Ran opened her eyes again.

But because her limbs were shackled by iron chains, as soon as she sat up, the chains clattered loudly.

[Host, you seem to be in a bit of a pitiful state now. You’re tied up; how are you planning to fight back later?]

Yun Ran shook the chains with her hand. These locks looked very sturdy; likely, they wouldn’t be easy to unlock without a key.

"This is just perfect. The more wretched I am now, the easier it will be to clear my name later, since I’m the actual victim."

If the Host didn’t laugh in such a creepy way, Ginsengfruit might have actually believed what the Host said.

Now, it could only silently offer condolences to the Yang Family’s people. After all, they had sought their death by messing with the Host directly.

The dungeon lacked windows, and only a dim lamp glowed in the corridor. Not knowing how much time had passed, Yun Ran was nearly falling asleep.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"

Her stomach made a series of gurgling sounds, indicating that quite some time had already passed.

"What time is it now?"

[Host, it’s almost twelve o’clock. The banquet at Yang Mansion is about to end, Host, your time to fight is coming soon, go Host~]
