The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

At that very moment, Lin Kai was hiding in a dark corner like a little green caterpillar, sending videos to his boss...

He also sent a barrage of messages:

"Boss, the Young Madam is something else! I’m dying! She’s way cooler than you!"

"You think this will give Lu Chaoyang a heart attack?"

"Boss, I feel like the Young Madam is going to have a hard time getting out of this one, but she’s a total badass!"

Lu Shijing, for his part, was quite enjoying the show.

’How interesting. He had originally thought the substitute bride would be some meek and obedient girl from the countryside.’

’He never expected her to be so fierce.’

He replied, "She won’t."

Lin Kai grew even more excited.

’Is the boss planning to play the hero and save the damsel in distress right now? Is he going to descend from the sky in a private jet? Or pull off some grand romantic gesture... ending with an upside-down kiss?’

’That’s how it always goes in those CEO novels.’

At that moment, Lin Kai, the number one fan of their "ship," grinned like a total idiot.

But who would have thought that Lu Shijing would suddenly call him. "Lin Kai."

"Present, Boss! I’m here!" He was on standby at all times, for the sole purpose of protecting his boss and the Young Madam.

"The Lu Group’s stock price has dropped, and I’ve hacked their system. Ask him why the president isn’t rushing back to handle it."

Lin Kai covered his mouth. "Boss, when did you pull such a dirty trick?"

"Just now."

Holy crap!

’Lin Kai felt like cursing. If the boss was pulling a stunt like this, didn’t that mean he, the spy, was about to get very busy...?’

’Damn it, my pay hasn’t gone up, but my workload just did!’

’I’m unstanning this ship!’

He stomped over angrily, but his courage failed him the moment he saw Lu Chaoyang.

The drama queen in him took over, and he put on a frantic act. "President Lu! The company’s stock has plummeted! And just as every department was trying to figure out how to salvage the situation, the whole system crashed."

"You need to get back there and take a look, right now."

Lu Chaoyang frowned. ’Wasn’t everything fine just a moment ago?’

He pulled out his phone and saw it was flooded with missed calls.

But Gu Shengsheng was still standing right there, looking utterly defiant...

He glared at her. "We’ll settle this later. Gu Shengsheng, you just wait and see."

"Fine by me!"

As he spoke, Lu Chaoyang’s driver arrived.

Watching them leave in a frantic hurry, Gu Shengsheng remained expressionless. She just found Lu Chaoyang to be rather pathetic.

’And a total loser.’

’She, Gu Shengsheng, always dared to act and dared to take responsibility. Since she had done the deed, she had naturally prepared her own evidence to argue her case.’

’No matter how the argument went, she wouldn’t be the one to lose out.’

’It would just be a waste of time. But as for Lu Chaoyang’s company running into trouble, that was just desserts for a villain. She wondered which good samaritan had hacked his system.’

’If she ever met that kind soul, she’d have to call them ’Big Bro’ out of respect.’

With that, she drove the excavator back and returned it to the operator.

The operator nervously handed her phone back. "Miss Gu, your phone for the livestream... you left in such a hurry you forgot to take it."

Gu Shengsheng said sheepishly, "Oh, I forgot. Haha."

The viewers in her stream were complaining that they had been staring at a patch of wasteland for a while and it was super boring.

But having heard that the streamer went to handle a "civil dispute," they were also curious about the outcome.

Gu Shengsheng addressed her stream, "It’s all good. That person was an enemy of mine, so I just took an excavator and tore down his courtyard wall."

The viewers: "Awesome! We want to see the streamer’s skills in action! Ahhh! Streamer, why didn’t you stream it?"

"Streamer, I’m seriously dying! I knew you weren’t the type to let people walk all over you."

"I want to be a woman like you, majestic as an eagle."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng didn’t answer. ’He’s my brother-in-law, after all. How could I possibly stream that? It would expose my family connections, wouldn’t it?’

After chatting casually with her viewers for a few more minutes, the operator finished clearing the debris and had a truck haul it all away.

About twenty minutes later, the area, which had been a heap of dirt and rubble, was completely cleared.

After Gu Shengsheng paid the excavator operator, he left.

Many of the surrounding neighbors were left gawking at the scene.

The Bean Juice Shop Owner, in particular, was now standing next to Gu Shengsheng.

He said, "I mean, really, girlie... what in the world are you trying to do!"

"This lot was no good to begin with, and it’s all gloomy, cold, and damp. Even if you built a house here, it would be a miserable place to live. You spent over ten million on it—are you daft?"

He truly couldn’t understand how such a naive, silly little girl could exist.

Gu Shengsheng said with a smile, "I’m here to see if there’s any treasure."

She was telling the truth, but all the neighborhood aunties and uncles thought she was joking.

Many of the onlookers started to disperse. ’This little gal sure has a sense of humor,’ they thought.

The Bean Juice Shop Owner, however, remained, watching with his arms crossed.

Gu Shengsheng walked onto the lot. The entire area was now an empty plot of land.

’When they were clearing everything away, nothing unusual had turned up. That meant there was nothing on the surface.’

’But her hopes had never been set on the surface. They were set... underground.’

She picked up a small rock from the entrance and began to walk a path, tapping the ground as she went.

She tapped at regular intervals.

It was awkward for her to hold the phone for the livestream, so the old shop owner came over and said, "Here, I’ll hold the phone. You do your thing."

He was mostly just curious. ’Could this girl actually be looking for treasure?’

The people in the livestream chat were getting anxious too.

"What is this streamer up to! Don’t tell me she’s actually going to find treasure."

"There are so many old land deeds from the period of the Republic. The streamer just saw a name, assumed the person was a tycoon, and bought the land. That’s a bit ridiculous."

"Exactly. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t take the risk. It couldn’t have been easy for the streamer to earn that ten million plus!"

"If she just put it in a bank, one month’s interest would be enough for her to just ’lie flat’ and do nothing."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng continued walking, then stopped over a particular paving stone. It felt a little loose, and there was a slight feeling of hollowness.

She immediately knew something was off.

She circled the spot, tapping with the rock, and discovered a large area that was hollow underneath.

’That meant... there really was a basement!’

At this thought, she grew thrilled.

Gu Shengsheng looked all around but didn’t see any secret passage.

Instead, she spotted a dry well.

’Why would there be a dry well here, of all places?’

She strode over and peered down. There was no water inside, and it wasn’t very deep.

’Thinking about it, even during the period of the Republic, a well like this wouldn’t have been very good for holding water.’

’So... could it just be for show?’

Gu Shengsheng felt she could probably jump down without getting hurt.

So, she tied her hair into a bun, took off her jacket to be more nimble, and was left in just her short-sleeved shirt.

She grabbed her tool bag and also put on a mask.

’Who knew how long this place had been abandoned? There might be poisonous gases. Better safe than sorry with a mask.’
