Zhang Pingfan looked at Dou Junwan with a dark expression, which startled her greatly.
"I... I don't know either. We've always been good friends. We've been classmates since junior high. I never thought she would do something like this!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded.
"Be more careful next time. I might appear by your side at any moment. Also, your bodyguards have problems. They knew you were drugged, yet instead of calling the police or notifying your family, they blocked me outside, rendering me useless!"
Dou Junwan nodded and said, "I know. I'll handle this myself. Thank you for today, but I don't understand why she would drug us. We were such good friends!"
Zhang Pingfan sighed. No matter how good the relationship, it couldn't compare to money.
If he wasn't mistaken, they had been bribed. It was hard to find out who was behind it unless her best friend was willing to confess.
"Contact her and find her. I have ways to make her reveal the mastermind!"
Dou Junwan nodded and quickly dialed her best friend's number, only to find it was unreachable.
"It's turned off!"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head. It seemed this woman would never appear again. For the reward of a game competition, she drugged Dou Youyou. This involved a lot of information.
If Dou Youyou gave up the competition.
Then the most likely beneficiary would be the Heavenly Apocalypse Emperor of the Heavenly Apocalypse Dynasty.
However, given Heavenly Apocalypse Emperor's current courage, it was unlikely to be him.
After all, the guy was seeking his help now.
If he could be ruled out, then the remaining candidates were the major families. This was also something Zhang Pingfan suspected the most.
Of course, no one could be ruled out; anyone who could threaten Dou Youyou's first place was a possibility.
"Arresting these bodyguards might still yield some clues!"
"Alright, I'll call my father over. Thank you again this time!"
"Mmm, Youyou, come with me. Leave this to your sister. The game competition is about to start, hurry up and log in, don't miss it!"
"Okay, wait, I'll get my game helmet!"
Dou Junwan wanted to say something, but she felt awkward to do so, as he had just saved them.
"Youyou, be polite at other people's homes. Don't be like you are at home and lack manners!"
"Got it, got it! Sister is leaving this to you, we're going now!"
Zhang Pingfan pulled Dou Youyou back to his villa. There were only a little over ten minutes left before the game competition started, so he had to hurry back, or it would really cause trouble.
Dou Jianhua and Dou Guomin were naturally furious upon hearing about the incident involving their daughter and granddaughter!
They arrived with a group of people and apprehended all the bodyguards lying on the ground.
"Junwan, you must be more discerning when making friends. If someone hadn't saved you today, who knows what would have happened. Where is Youyou?"
Dou Junwan said, "The game competition has already started, and Youyou went to participate. She can't waste time here!"
"Mmm, I want to see who it is! These ungrateful wretches, wasn't the Dou family treating them well enough?"
Seeing that Dou Youyou was still offline and the game competition was about to start.
The members of the Eternal Myth guild were incredibly anxious.
"What's going on with the Big Sister? Did she forget something so important?"
"What is Sister Youyou doing? If she misses this, she'll be disqualified!"
"Ah, I'm so anxious. We were solidly in first place, how could this happen?"
On the other side!
"It seems there are no more problems. Dou Youyou hasn't logged in, and if we just hold on for a few more minutes, even if she arrives, it will be useless. She'll be disqualified and forfeit the competition!"
"As long as she doesn't come, everything will be fine!"
After a few minutes of data adjustments, Dou Youyou's game helmet finally connected.
Zhang Pingfan glanced at the time and quickly urged her.
"Hurry up and log in, we're almost out of time!"
Dou Youyou put on her helmet and entered the game mode.
Zhang Pingfan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were still a few minutes left, and she made it in time.
Looking at Dou Youyou lying in front of him, Zhang Pingfan suddenly felt his lips dry.
He still remembered the previous kiss vividly.
Looking at Dou Youyou's rosy lips, Zhang Pingfan couldn't help but swallow.
[Ding! System prompt: A new mission has been released. Kiss Dou Youyou. Completing the mission will earn special rewards. Failing the mission will result in the confiscation of all earnings.] 138 Reading Net
"Damn it, are you sick? How can I take advantage of her when she's like this?"
[Ding! I am merely releasing your deepest desires. Seeing your hesitation, I can only lend you a hand!]
"You're just enjoying the show and not worrying about the consequences."
Looking at Dou Youyou's lips, Zhang Pingfan thought, "Anyway, she's in the game, she probably won't feel anything, right?"
Zhang Pingfan leaned down and pecked Dou Youyou's lips.
However, he didn't receive a mission completion notification.
"What's going on? Didn't I just kiss her?"
The system didn't reply.
"Is it possible I kissed her the wrong way?"
Thinking this, Zhang Pingfan calmed himself.
Then, he slowly leaned down and kissed her again. This time, it wasn't a light peck, but a deep kiss.
Inside the game, Dou Youyou directly received a system notification that someone was kissing her.
If she wasn't mistaken, it must have been that system girl who alerted her.
Impatient, Dou Youyou exited the game.
This was because just now, she had successfully registered for the game competition and had already received the name of her first opponent.
She felt Zhang Pingfan's warmth, and only when she was about to run out of breath did she let out a small hum.
Only then did Zhang Pingfan reluctantly release her.
A long, thin thread connected the two.
Zhang Pingfan glanced at the flushed Dou Youyou with a guilty conscience.
[Ding! System prompt: Mission completed. Reward: a tree, successfully planted in the villa courtyard!]
"Uh... wasn't there a special reward? Why only a tree?"
[Ding! This is the special reward!]
"I was tricked by you. Aren't all your rewards these miscellaneous things? Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you, but where is the tree? In my villa?"
Zhang Pingfan looked out the window and indeed, a tree had been planted in the small courtyard in front of his villa.
This tree looked out of place with the surrounding scenery because it was a golden tree, and even its trunk was golden.
"What a strange tree, what is its name?"
[Ding! World Tree!]
"What? If you don't want to say it, don't bother saying what this is."
Although this tree looked magical, it was just ordinary. He couldn't make out anything special about it.
Zhang Pingfan didn't delay and put on his helmet to enter the game.
Dou Youyou, hearing no movement, finally opened her eyes.
Her face showed immense joy.
Was her "stinky master" so impatient?
Looking at Zhang Pingfan leaning beside her, Dou Youyou shifted her body and leaned closer to him, entering the game once more.
