After a full day of traveling, she felt a bit tired. Once she cleared out the Wish Pool, she went back to sleep. As usual, she slept until she naturally woke up, then ate when she got up. She was fully revived, brimming with energy. The village chief of Tang Family Village called her, telling her the peaches were ready for picking. With nothing else to do at home, Shen Yunyun planned to arrange for a truck and go pick peaches together. Unexpectedly, Liao Zhen called. Since they parted ways last time, they hadn’t been in touch, and Shen Yunyun had almost forgotten about him. She’d been busy teaming up with the young emperor to set up a scheme, and it felt like ages had passed. The last time she saw Liao Zhen was, well, the last time. “Yunyun, I’ve finished all the planning proposals. When are you free?” Hearing this, Shen Yunyun knew he was serious, but she still asked, “Have you thought it through? Are you really ready to work with me?” “Yeah, I’ll work with you.” “Alright then, arrange a truck and come pick peaches with me tomorrow.” Liao Zhen was a bit surprised. She’d just taken a whole warehouse of apples from him, and now she wanted peaches too? “Are all those apples sold out?” Liao Zhen asked cautiously. “Don’t worry about that.” Seeing that she didn’t want to say more, Liao Zhen assumed it was some trade secret and didn’t press further. He obediently arranged for a truck and set a departure time of 6:00 AM the next day. When Shen Yunyun heard they’d be leaving at 6:00 AM, she immediately lost interest. She’d still be asleep at 6:00. She simply gave him the village chief’s phone number and the address, telling him to take the crew there tomorrow. Liao Zhen was capable. The next day, he led the team to haul the peaches to the cold storage. The peaches from several nearby hills were basically all bought up by Shen Yunyun. The fruit merchants, whose supply had been snatched, held a grudge. They felt someone in their trade had broken the rules. Since someone had broken the rules, they couldn’t just let it slide. They had to find the person and give them a beating. Cutting off someone’s livelihood was like killing their parents. This was an irreconcilable feud. They spent some money to find out who had bought their peaches. When they heard it was just a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, the fruit merchants exchanged bewildered looks. Who was this girl? How could she swallow such a big piece of the pie? Wasn’t she afraid of choking? To be safe, they even hired a private detective to investigate Shen Yunyun. The results left them dumbfounded. She came from an orphanage—so who was backing her? “Who cares who’s backing her? Let’s find someone to quietly teach her a lesson. Who’ll know it was us?” “Yeah, I agree. As long as no one dies, anything goes.” The group conspired to give Shen Yunyun a proper thrashing. That night, as Shen Yunyun was about to open the Trading Center, her optical brain sounded an alarm—someone had broken into her house. She immediately activated the Level 3 defense system, and surveillance footage appeared on her optical brain. There were six people in total: two keeping watch outside, two standing in the yard, and two sneaking into the main room of her house. The two who entered the room immediately felt their limbs go numb, as if caught by a powerful force, losing control of their bodies. Both stood frozen by the TV cabinet, unable to move or speak. The two in the yard, seeing the others not come out for so long, started to suspect something. Could those two have been tempted by her looks? Both thought the same thing. After whispering to each other, they too headed for the main room.
