Chapter 5704: Extra - Mo Returns!
"I'm back." Ji Mo, carrying two large plastic bags, kicked off her shoes and walked in from the entryway.
"Sister, sister!" Baoyu, her younger brother, suddenly bounced over, quickly reaching out to take the plastic bags from her hands.
"Did you go to the supermarket?"
"Mhm." Ji Mo walked to the refrigerator with a pile of ice cream, stacking boxes into the freezer.
"When I passed by, I saw the supermarket having a promotion. I thought I'd buy more to bring back."
"You bought so much milk."
"Yeah." Ji Mo took out two white T-shirts from a plastic bag and casually tossed one to Baoyu.
"Buy a carton of milk and get a free T-shirt. So I bought three cartons."
That should be enough to drink for a while, right!
"They said there's going to be a heavy rainstorm today. Remember to lock all the doors and windows before you go to bed, okay?"
"Got it, Sister."
Ji Mo yawned and glanced at her brother, "If there's nothing else, wash up and go to sleep."
"Sister, sister, wait a moment." Baoyu ran over with his laptop, grinning as he pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"I got you a small money-making task. You're free these days, right? Want to give it a try?"
Ji Mo took his laptop and scrolled through the client's information.
A photo of a young man popped up on the screen, looking like he had a background from the Republic of China era.
The man had a pair of mesmerizing peach blossom eyes that could kill without paying.
He wore white gloves, dressed in dark equestrian attire, holding a riding crop, standing tall by the window, his head slightly turned, gazing out the window.
His profile was flawless, a charming fiend.
Ji Mo yawned again, looking sleepy, "Who is this? The little prince of nightclubs?"
After saying that, Ji Mo noticed that her brother's mouth was wide open in surprise.
"Sister, you really don't know him?"
"This is Qin Yun, the popular movie star that everyone from three-year-olds to eighty-year-olds knows about."
Ji Mo shook her head, "Not familiar."
Baoyu nodded, thinking to himself: As expected, it's not suitable to talk about such topics with older people.
"Sister, don't worry about it. Just remember, we received a 300,000 deposit from him, and we just need to ensure his safety and well-being within two months."
"Alright." Ji Mo raised her hand and patted her brother's shoulder, rubbing her eyes, "I'm going up to sleep first. When does this task start?"
"Three days from now, Sister."
"Oh." Then she'd just report to Movie Star Qin's place in three days.
"Hey, Sister, his talkative agent is a bit difficult to deal with. You'd better call them before you go."
Ji Mo waved her hand, indicating she understood.
Not long after, Ji Mo came out after showering and walked to the French window to look at the night outside.
It was pitch black, with only faint, shadowy light from scattered streetlights.
She reached out, locked the window, and drew the curtains, then returned to the bed and rolled onto it.
She burrowed under the covers, lying there and checking her wristwatch: eleven forty-five.
A wave of sleepiness washed over her.
Drifting in and out of sleep, she kept feeling a continuous vibration by the window.
It seemed a strong wind had picked up outside, and the gaps in the glass rattled with a mournful sound from the wind.
"Bang!"
A sudden strong gust of wind shattered the window glass, yet Ji Mo felt as if she was in a trance, unable to open her eyes.
Two blazing, sun-like glows, encapsulating a circular and a crescent-shaped substance, swiftly entered her glabella.
In that instant, Ji Mo's eyes snapped open in horror, and she abruptly sat upright.
No matter how far one drifts in the vast, boundless, silent void, nor how much time passes in vain.
The sleeping beast will eventually open its eyes!
