Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 399: Mo Chou (37)

"Hanying, that third eye of yours is still open, right?" A slight smile formed on Zhan Rong's lips as she inquired about something supernatural with a calm voice. 

"Why are you suddenly asking?" A confused Guo Hanying turned to her good friend. Like she just realized something pressing, she gently tapped Zhan Rong's shoulder and whispered in an urgent voice. "Hey. Wait. We're not supposed to talk about that in places like this."

Zhan Rong pressed her lips into a thin line as she sunk into contemplation. She appeared lost for a moment, however, it was not because she was reflecting on what Guo Hanying had just said. After finishing her glass of wine, she replied with another question. "Have you noticed what's frequently popping up beside that new campus goddess, Gu Mochou?"

The confusion on her friend's face deepened. "What?"

"You should have looked at her closely since she might become another rival for you." A slight, meaningful smile formed on Zhan Rong's luscious lips.

To this, the other girl maintained silent before saying, " Miss Zhan. Actually, I'm in the process of erasing my feelings for that dumbass so stop bringing him up or any random girl always next to him."

"Oh? If you say so." 

Guo Hanying explained in detail why Fan Zheng was a jerk and Zhan Rong only tilted her head, her brain going back to the real issue at hand. 

She briefly closed her eyes to retrieve from her memories a few images that just took place. Everything she experienced and saw today was still vivid in her imagination and kept surfacing for her viewing. She saw how many glasses were in the tray of the first waiter she ran into which happened four hours ago. She knew at exactly what time the celebration began. Zhan Rong had always been the kind of person who had no need to pay close attention to memorize.

It was through her extraordinary memories that she confirmed Before Fan Zheng left the stage, there was a dark shadow that came from the direction of the female restroom, reeking in malice and gloom. Shortly after, a powerful-looking poltergeist suddenly appeared near Gu Mochou but showed no sign of aggression.

Didn't most ghosts detest the living? Or wanted to catch the attention of the living through any means just to get justice for themselves?

However, even when that transferee was leaving, the ghost was just closely tailing her behind, unseen to normal people. In fact, it looked like it was keeping a respectful distance and wary of its surrounding like a bodyguard.

'I'm very sure Gu Mochou opened her mouth earlier. She spoke. But at that moment, there was nobody, or rather, no human being near her.'

Zhan Rong's eyes opened as her forehead creased.

A guess flashed across her mind. She could not help but tell Guo Hanying, "I saw a filthy thing following that girl which seems to be on friendly terms with her." 

Guo Hanying looked at her dumbfounded and stayed like that for a couple of seconds. When she came to her senses, she rolled her eyes left and right, like a criminal checking for eavesdroppers, and then bent her body sideways to whisper to Zhan Rong's ears, "You mean Gu Mochou is like us? Can see and interact with those detestable beings?"

Zhan Rong nodded before stabbing a piece of meat with her fork and playing with it. Her other hand was propping her face up when she replied.

"That transferee. If I'm not mistaken, she is rumored to be infatuated with one of those strangely enamored with the senior high student. It is either Zhang Jian, the male transferee from the engineering department, or Fan Zheng. If she is really as I have guessed, I suggest you stay away from her." 

" I'm having a hard time processing everything to arrive at what you really want me to grasp."

A look of disbelief was on Hanying's eyes. 

Zhan Rong calmly threw her another glance and said, "If you don't believe me, or if you find yourself lacking in clues, ask around. See if the person who created a scene in the restroom is Zhao Ai. I think by that time, you'll be able to guess my point."

Guo Hanying seemed reluctant. Not long after though, she stood up and walked towards the restroom.

Zhan Rong watched her friend for some time then brought the steak to her mouth. She was confident in her conclusion so instead of thinking more about it, she took her time savoring her dinner. 

To guess to some extent what had happened with limited clues was already impressive for someone who only saw seemingly unrelated dots. Still, Zhan Rong failed to deduct the real reason why Gu Mochou targeted Zhao Ai. Because she only saw what took place in the hall and was too lazy to get up from her seat to see the other scene, there were many details she missed. 

Zhan Rong only assumed that the female lead had been scared to death, that Gu Mochou only used a spirit to frighten Zhao Ai. 

Since she also had little to no interest in Fan Zheng's affair, instead of checking on this acquaintance of her, she focused more energy on hacking the surveillance around, a skill taught by Jiang Li five months ago. It was to double-check whether her eyes did not play on her. And seeing that there were some questionable and lagging parts, it seemed her other 'eye', whose only good function was to let her see Jiang Li, was still working properly 

Zhan Rong shook her head and firmed her will not to entangle with somebody who could use pitiful spirits for something ugly like jealousy. 

A teenager dressed like a waiter was standing amidst the small gathering of people clogging the corridor. Nobody seemed to see him even though he had been there even before the syndicate kid arrived. He looked one last time at Zhao Ai who was finally brought into a stretcher by the paramedics before marching away with a frown.

Not far away were two love fools fighting over the spot in the ambulance, sending sparks flying in the air. 

He gave Zhang Jian, the villain of this world, a glance. A corner of his lips twitched watching the young man engaged in a shouting duel with Fan Zheng. There was a cut on the corner of his lips which made it obvious that he had just been in a brawl.

Looking at the villain, Jiang Li didn't know whether to be amused about the fact that this guy was actually the reason why the minion ghost of the villainess did not finish off the female lead. To be honest, he was more inclined to lit a candle for the pitiful and nave Zhao Ai who would wake up tomorrow or the day after, later labeled as a drug addict. 

'The culprit thought she had already got away with this.'

'Punishable or not?' This was his current dilemma as he rode on his motorbike to catch up with Gu Mochou's car. 

The evening wind blew on his face. He wore no helmet or any other safety gears over his waiter uniform yet when he reached a checkpoint, the traffic enforcers did not stop him. Like the people in the university's multi-purpose hall, they could not see him.

Shortly after, he laughed. His happy laughter could not be covered up by the varying noises from the vehicles in the street. Why agonize over a simple matter? He asked himself. 

Jiang Li did not have to worry that Zhao Ai would die because the male lead was there. As to why he didn't prevent it from happening, it was not that he didn't try. He was simply late. Because even he had not anticipated what Gu Mochou did. He was not omniscient to know everything that would happen.

Thankfully, female leads were immortal cockroaches so he would not have to worry about Zhao Ai dying.

Yet, while he held not much concern over the heroine, it did not mean he was okay with Gu Mochou's deeds. Although he disliked Zhao Ai a bit, to somebody like a piece of garbage just because that person's parent was a criminal was not something she deserved.

"This Gu Mochou might top the list of my most hated villainesses." He clicked his tongue. 

Because he was over speeding, he caught up to the girl's car. The red light was up so the vehicles on the lane were put on a stop. Jiang Li knocked on the car window and waited for it to roll down before revealing himself and hypnotizing the driver. His gaze then went to the smiling Gu Mochou whose eyes were glued on her phone. 

'What to do with this one now?' Although he laughed, there was no mirth in his eyes. 

It was at that moment that Gu Mochou raised her face and widened her eyes upon seeing him. Sounds then seemed to have disappeared around that area for a whole minute. 

When the traffic light flashed in green against the darkness of the night, the black car was one of the vehicles that advanced. However, inside of it, the driver had become so unnaturally quiet and focused on the road ahead even though at the back seat, Gu Mochou could no longer be seen.
