"You know I sold my house, what will I do if I have no place to live? So your house must be kept safe, and a room must be reserved for me." Yun Buqi didn't mean to stop him from mortgaging the house for a loan; it was just that there was really no need, as he had the money.
In the end, Zhou Hao compromised as usual and had to use Yun Buqi's money to set up the auto repair shop.
On the opening day, Mianmian sent him twenty large flower baskets, filling the front of the auto repair shop, making it very lively.
Mianmian also told her father to bring his car here for repairs if there were any problems. Jiang Xiuxiu was speechless. He always took his car to the 4S store for repairs; when would it be his turn to go to a small auto repair shop? But since his daughter had spoken, he had no choice but to obey, for she was his precious darling.

At school, Jiang Tianci watched Yun Buqi return to school with renewed vigor, attending classes diligently every day. He felt both anxious and angry. He had tried everything, but none of his hired help were effective, and he couldn't even stop Yun Buqi from studying.
However, Jiang Tianci was convinced that Yun Buqi was an idiot. Even if he studied hard, he wouldn't achieve good grades. He didn't need to worry.
But the midterm exams soon arrived. When the results were released, Yun Buqi was not at all anxious. As he had predicted, his grades were steadily improving, rising hundreds of places from the last exam. All his subjects were excellent.
His classmates marveled that the former academic slacker was indeed capable of learning. They realized he had simply not been trying before; once he put in the effort, he learned better than ordinary people.
No one dared to suspect Yun Buqi of cheating anymore. The entire class looked at him with admiration and awe. Some even came to him to ask for help with their studies.
Jiang Tianci watched Yun Buqi, who was surrounded by students. The former scumbag and school bully who was once despised by everyone now had more popularity than him. He truly hated it.
Especially since that person had gained the attention of Jiang Mianmian, the girl he desired the most.
His jealousy reached its peak. Jiang Tianci vowed to make Yun Buqi get out of this school!
...
Chu Weixian, Chu Yu, and the woman had no idea how long they had been captured. Ever since they were thrown into the sea in a cage, they had seen no light except for the occasional food delivered every two or three days. The prolonged darkness made everyone irritable.
Chu Yu's physical foundation was relatively good, as Jin Qing had meticulously cared for him since childhood. Therefore, he had no significant health issues.
After three days and three nights of torment, he recovered, but he was utterly drained.
The three of them were dragged out again. This time, there were no cages. When they were released, the three of them lacked the strength to escape, leaving them at the mercy of others. Their wrists were bound, and they were hoisted up to be dangled over the sea for sharks.
Sharks leaped out of the water, opening their bloodthirsty mouths towards the three. Just as they were about to bite, the crane would lift them up, preventing the sharks from reaching them. This, however, further enraged the rulers of the sea. Schools of sharks attacked, as if eager to swallow one person whole.
The three of them eventually passed out from fear, one after another.
When they woke up, they were all back in their cages. Chu Weixian could no longer bear it and shouted, "Jin Lan, I beg you, just give me a quick end! I know I was wrong, I confess, let me go home. I will voluntarily confess to the judge and admit my crime of murder. I will accept any punishment the law gives me. Please, spare me! I really can't stand it, ahhhhh!"
