The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C557 – Go to Your Place

“This… this… this…”

Zhou Guozhi was completely frozen in place.

“Little brother, now that’s what I call magic.”

Su Ming’s smile was warm as he leisurely stood up.

Zhou Guozhi’s hand shook as he reached out and picked up a brick.

It was solid and heavy. If it struck him, it would surely crack his skull.

With so many bricks, where could Su Ming possibly have hidden them? How did he produce them?

On television, magicians made planes, cannons, rockets, and tanks disappear.

But that was all done with editing tricks.

The onlookers were actors, too.

Yet, this was unfolding right before his very eyes.

What in the world was happening?

Before Zhou Guozhi could gather his thoughts, Su Ming and his group had already left.

“I’m sorry, I had planned to take you out for a meal today, but I didn’t expect…”

Ann Chuxia stood awkwardly at the door, wringing her hands, clearly embarrassed.

“You should be more cautious than I am. Even though I don’t know who is behind the poisoning, they certainly won’t stop there.”

Su Ming offered a reassuring smile.

“Sigh…”

Hearing this, Ann Chuxia exhaled a deep sigh. “There’s no helping it. The entertainment industry is treacherous, and I don’t have anywhere else to stay right now.”

Su Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Initially, he hadn’t been too concerned, but the previous night, while browsing his social media, he saw Su Qiu and another girl excitedly sharing photos from Ann Chuxia’s concert. It was then he realized the girls were devoted fans of Ann Chuxia.

They hadn’t managed to get concert tickets, but just being in the same city as their idol was enough to thrill them.

“Mr. Su, may I stay at your place?”

Ann Chuxia suddenly blurted out, biting her lip and blushing, a moment of hesitation in her voice.

“Ah? That wouldn’t be appropriate…”

Su Ming was taken aback.

This was quite unexpected.

A celebrity wanted to stay at his place?

Liu Dashan, upon hearing this, also appeared hesitant and troubled. But after giving it some thought, he found Ann Chuxia’s request quite reasonable: “Mr. Su, as you’ve seen, someone tried to run Miss Ann over with a car yesterday, and today she was poisoned. Who knows what might happen next? It’s too dangerous here. We haven’t known you for long, Mr. Su, but we can tell you’re a decent man. Please, could you do us this favor?”

“Alright.”

Su Ming nodded in response. “Just so you know, my place is pretty modest. I hope you won’t mind, Miss Ann.”

“It’s fine, really.”

Ann Chuxia nodded politely, her cheeks flushed and her heart racing.

She couldn’t understand why she had impulsively suggested staying at Su Ming’s place.

Sure, her current accommodation wasn’t safe, but she could have switched hotels.

There were plenty of alternatives, so why did she choose this one?

The more Ann Chuxia dwelled on it, the more embarrassed she felt. She bowed her head, fidgeting with her hands.

Could it be that she was developing feelings for…

Oh no!

They had just met, not even a full day had passed. How could she…

“Come on, let’s get in the car!”

Su Ming, oblivious to Ann Chuxia’s inner turmoil, gave a small smile and escorted her to his sports car. He opened the door and they both climbed inside.

“Oh no, my clothes, toiletries, makeup…”

Ann Chuxia suddenly remembered.

​”Don’t worry. We can buy what you need,” Su Ming reassured her with a smile, starting the car and driving off with Ann Chuxia and Xiaoqing in tow.

Liu Dashan stood at the doorway, exhaling deeply, his brow furrowed with concern.

Ann Chuxia had been facing one danger after another lately, and he was at a loss. The police had called the day before, confirming that the driver had been hired by someone, but the employer’s identity was well-concealed. They were still chasing down leads.

“Wow, is this what riding in a sports car feels like?”

Ann Chuxia was thrilled, taking in the thunderous engine and the luxurious, comfortable interior.

“Really, Miss Ann? As an A-list celebrity, aren’t sports cars pretty standard for you?” Su Ming asked, turning to her.

​”Not at all,” Ann Chuxia replied, her expression turning wistful. “You know, people see our glamour, but honestly, I envy ordinary folks. They can take time off, stroll through the streets, shop for clothes, and enjoy delicious food. Not me, though. My life is practically owned by my agency. If it weren’t for this incident, Uncle Liu would never have let me out.”

Su Ming simply nodded in response, acknowledging the truth that celebrities indeed earn a lot and live glamorous lives with high visibility. But it was also true that they had to make many sacrifices. They had essentially said goodbye to the life of an average person.

“I have two sisters who really like you. Would it be okay if I brought them to live with us at home?” Su Ming asked, thinking of Su Qiu and Zhang Qianqian.

“Absolutely, that would be wonderful!” Ann Chuxia exclaimed, her face lighting up with excitement. “The more the merrier!”

During their conversation, Su Ming noticed that Ann Chuxia still maintained a certain innocence, seemingly untouched by the entertainment industry. However, this did not mean she was unaware of its rules. Her manager, Liu Dashan, had taken good care of her, shielding her from the industry’s darker side, at least for now. The future, however, was uncertain. The entertainment industry was like a dye vat; easy to enter, difficult to leave.

Deciding to take action, Su Ming headed straight to the school to pick up the girls. He instructed Xiaoqing and Ann Chuxia to stay in the car. Ann Chuxia’s presence at the school would undoubtedly cause a sensation, likely drawing crowds and potentially even police to maintain order. As for Xiaoqing, being artificial intelligence, it was better to keep her presence under wraps. Only those close to him needed to know.

Upon arriving at the school, Su Ming stepped out of the car. It was Saturday, and the campus was relatively quiet, with just a few students milling about with their backpacks. He reached the girls’ dormitory and dialed Su Qiu’s number.

​”Brother?” she answered.

The background noise suggested she was in a bustling place, with the sound of people calling for waiters, likely at a meal.

​”Where are you right now?” Su Ming inquired, not overly concerned. It was common for college students to have friends and to go out for meals on a Saturday afternoon.

​”Brother, I’m at the food stall next to the school’s back gate,” Su Qiu replied.

Su Qiu’s voice came through the phone, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

“Okay, I’m on my way.”

After hanging up, Su Ming set out for the renowned food stall. It was a local favorite, drawing in both students and nearby residents alike. With a brisk pace, Su Ming made his way there.
