Qiao Qiao, enduring the discomfort all over her body, returned to the outhouse area, intending to salvage the fetus that had been smashed into the mud for sale. However, she discovered two scrawny stray dogs at the entrance of the outhouse fighting over the fetus.
She rushed to drive the dogs away. One of the dogs, with the fetus in its mouth, ran off, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
Qiao Qiao was furious, not knowing whose dogs they were. Even if she knew, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't call the police to demand compensation, so she could only heartache and accept her bad luck, having lost over a hundred thousand.
She was left with only one hundred yuan. The twenty thousand cash that Qiao Wei had given her yesterday had all been pocketed by Aunt Fei, who claimed it was interest, leaving her with only one hundred yuan for travel expenses.
Even if she wanted to escape now, she didn't know where to go. The Qi family was also looking for her.
She had no choice but to go back to Qiao Wei to ask for eighty thousand yuan to save her life first.

On the last day of the first month of school, Yu He finally reported to the university.
Qin Beiting drove her to the entrance of Qing University early in the morning. Before she got out of the car, he reluctantly held Yu He's hand.
"I have to go abroad to handle some matters. It's expected to take about a month. I'll finish it as soon as possible and come back early."
Last time, he had intentionally depleted the guarantee card from the Second Elder, which had put the Second Elder in a difficult position and made him very angry. The Second Elder had deliberately caused trouble for Xing Que.
Such a person who liked to cause trouble could not be kept!
Therefore, he had to go there personally to deal with both the person and the matter.
Yu He had initially planned to go on a trip during the National Day holiday with him. Now that he had something to attend to, she felt a little disappointed.
However, she didn't show it on her face. "Go ahead."
Seeing her seeming indifference, Qin Beiting's sense of crisis instantly surged.
The little girl wasn't even reluctant to see him go!
She was so outstanding, and there were so many eligible men at school. She would definitely attract countless undesirable suitors!
Those men were younger and fresher than him. Would the little girl fall for someone else?!
"Remember, you have a fiancé. You're not allowed to look at other men." Qin Beiting hooked her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Tsk, your habit of being unreasonably jealous hasn't improved yet?" Yu He pinched his cheek.
She was here to study, not to date. He was jealous about this too.
She was the only one in the world who dared to pinch his face so brazenly.
"It can't be cured," Qin Beiting kissed her forehead.
Yu He's heart trembled slightly. She glanced at the time and asked, "What time is your flight?"
"Twelve noon. What, you want to see me off?" Qin Beiting's eyes lit up.
"There's still time. Drive the car to that underground parking lot," Yu He pointed to the hotel parking lot next to the school.
Qin Beiting did as he was told.
Yu He thought about not seeing each other for the next month and felt a great sense of reluctance.
She didn't know why, even though a month wasn't a long time, and they hadn't been separated before, and they could video call anytime, the feeling of reluctance in her heart grew stronger and stronger, as if they would never see each other again after this separation.
The car stopped steadily in the underground parking lot. Yu He leaned over to the driver's seat and kissed his face.
She had originally intended to give him a sense of security, but it had developed in an uncontrollable direction.
An hour later, Yu He was carried out of the car by Qin Beiting. They went to the hotel reception and booked a presidential suite to shower.
Upon arriving at the suite, Yu He opened the bathroom door and said, "You shower first, quickly. After you're done, go back and pack your things."
"Together, it saves time," Qin Beiting looked at her, his eyes full of longing.
Yu He, seeing that the reporting time agreed with Teacher Li was approaching, went in with him.
As it turned out, showering together made the process even slower.
After showering, Yu He's legs were so weak that she collapsed on the bed, regretting her decision.
She shouldn't have provoked a hungry wolf.
Chen Dong knocked and brought two sets of clean clothes. Qin Beiting changed into his, then prepared to help Yu He change.
"Baby, your stamina isn't great lately. Have you not exercised for too long? Hmm?"
"Scram!" Yu He kicked him.
Qin Beiting grabbed her ankle. Her little feet were tender and pink, her toenails neatly trimmed, round and lustrous, especially cute.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help himself. Thus, their shower was in vain again.
When the two of them came out of the hotel and returned to the school entrance, Yu He had completely missed the deadline.
She arrived at the Dean of Students' office, just as Li Ming rushed over from the other corridor.
"Student Yu He, I'm so sorry. Have you been waiting long? The work from the machine research group I'm leading suddenly malfunctioned this afternoon before they were to represent the school in a national competition. It was quite urgent, so I went to handle it. I didn't have time to tell you."
Yu He coughed unnaturally. "No, I just arrived too."
"That's quite a coincidence. Come, come in and sit," Li Ming politely pushed open the office door and invited her in.
"Was the malfunction resolved?" Yu He asked casually.
Speaking of this, Li Ming got a headache. "Not yet. The robot's programming data has always been fine, and it's been tested many times without any issues. Just this morning, as it was about to be packed for the competition, it suddenly malfunctioned. The students are all in a panic."
"Time is tight. I'll process your paperwork quickly, and I have to go back to take a look later. I'm very sorry, but I can't personally give you a tour of the campus. Later, I'll have student Lu Chenyu show you around the campus environment. Is that okay?"
Yu He had heard of the National Science and Technology Competition. She had a plan to develop medical robots, so she was quite interested in such things.
"No need, I'll go with you to take a look," she said.
"Certainly! You're an expert in programming, so you can help the students out," Li Ming said delightedly.
He knew that Yu He's alias in the hacker world was Crow Boss, one of his idols.
After Li Ming finished processing her paperwork, they headed to the experimental building together.
In Room 312.
More than a dozen students were gathered around a one-meter-sixty robot that was out of control. The entire research lab was in disarray due to the robot.
"Teacher, who is this?" a student near the door asked as they entered.
They were all focused on their studies and research and were unaware of Yu He's recent news online.
"This is our new student, Yu He. Due to health reasons, she's only reporting today. I'm bringing her along to take a look," Li Ming explained.
"Oh, a freshman. Just stand aside and watch, don't touch anything randomly," said a fourth-year student with thick glasses and a receding hairline.
He was the project leader, Wu Jin.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yu He looking intently at the robot. She then stepped forward and pressed a button on the robot's abdomen.
The robot immediately emitted a red warning siren.
"I told you not to touch it, don't you understand?" Wu Jin yelled.
Li Ming quickly explained, "Student Wu Jin, don't get excited. Student Yu He is majoring in artificial intelligence, and she knows programming."
"Hey, the robot finally stopped!" other students exclaimed, seeing that the robot, though it had emitted a warning siren, had finally stopped.
Both Li Ming and Wu Jin were surprised. The group of them who built it couldn't stop it, but Yu He stopped it immediately upon her arrival?
