Chapter 80: Hunting Down the Killer

p messing around. Let's get to work!" Sun Xinxin shot a glance at Fang Xiaoru.Before Fang Xiaoru could speak, Sun Xinxin continued, "Xiaoru, you'll be in charge of the shop today. I'm going to take Xi...Chapter 88: Imp Summer was quite willing to look for Liu Meng, but Qiao Xiaqiao had just encountered a killer. Even though he had dealt with the situation, he felt that it would be best to stay by Qiao Xiaqiao's side.

"Sis Meng, I can't come over right now. You should come find me!" Since Summer couldn’t go look for Liu Meng himself, he started encouraging her to visit him instead: "Don’t listen to what your mother says; being out of touch with society has nothing to do with it. My three masters also said that I’m disconnected from society and shouldn't leave the mountain, but didn’t I still come down"

"Hmm, you’re right, little troublemaker. Wait for me to find an opportunity to run away and then I’ll go look for you." Liu Meng was immediately convinced by Summer's persuasion. "I'll let you know once I’ve managed to get out of here. Bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Summer remembered that he should inform Miss Xin about him not going home tonight and called Sun Xinxin. She seemed busy on her end, but after hearing his message, she didn’t say much other than acknowledging it before hanging up.

Returning to Qiao Corporation Tower, after dinner, Qiao Xiaqiao became very busy again. Summer wasn't sure what she was doing, only seeing numbers and lines on her computer screen as well as headphones and a microphone around her ears, issuing commands from time to time—buying or selling.

With nothing much to do, Summer noticed an idle computer next to him, so he turned it on and went online. He first looked at the news and found out that there was a war abroad, making him feel that Jianghai City wasn’t too chaotic compared to the rest of the world; after all, he had only encountered three assassins in one day. Then he saw some tycoon spending five million for his mother’s funeral arrangements, which made Summer disdain him for being so cheap—why wouldn't he treat his mom well and prolong her life with that kind of money If he gave half his wealth to the old woman, she would surely live a few more years.

After reading some news, Summer found nothing particularly interesting. He then logged into his account, which only had two friends: one was Sun Xinxin (nickname "Princess Xinxin") who hoped to be someone's protected princess and the other was that little girl called Yao Yao (whose nickname was no longer “Mr. Qiao Xiaqiao” but rather “imp”). Summer thought this name suited her well—she was indeed an imp, how else could she switch between male and female

"Miss Xinxin, are you there" Summer first sent a message to Princess Xinxin.

No response; Princess Xin's avatar was gray, indicating that she seemed to be offline.

The little pixie’s avatar, on the other hand, was lit up. Feeling bored, Xia Tian sent a message to the little pixie.

"Hey, Little Pixie, where is my wife Why hasn’t she called me yet" Xia Tian still had his golden-haired beauty Mu Han in mind.

"You idiot! Miss Han would never call you!" The little pixie quickly replied.

"Tell my wife that if she doesn't listen, I’ll spank her bottom next time I see her." Xia Tian was a bit unhappy with this reply.

The little pixie sent back a laughing emoji. Then Xia Tian noticed his computer screen went black again.

He immediately got angry; that darn little pixie had blacked out his computer once more!

"If I see you again, I will definitely beat the living daylights out of you!" Xia Tian loudly declared. He would still hit her even if she was a girl.

Unfortunately, this time the fairy didn’t leave any contact information on his computer, and he had no idea where to find her. Otherwise, he would definitely have gone after her again to take revenge.

Just as he was furious, his computer suddenly returned to normal. Then he saw a message from the fairy: “Hane told me to teach you a lesson; if you say anything about spanking her again, I’ll hack your computer again.”

Summer felt very frustrated—someone had threatened him and he couldn’t do anything about it. In order to continue using his computer, he decided not to provoke the fairy for now. The next time he saw the blonde beauty, he would give her a good scolding and teach her a lesson for threatening his husband!

But Summer’s frustration quickly dissipated when Princess Xinxin went online and immediately sent him a message: “Summer, where are you”

"I’m at Xiaoqiao’s place," replied Summer. "Someone wants to kill Xiaoqiao, so I have to protect her."

"What Is Xiaoqiao okay" Xinxin was clearly startled.

"She's fine; I'm here." Summer quickly sent back a message—he had become much faster at typing now.

"Glad to hear it," replied Xinxin with a smiling emoji.

"Ms. Xin, what are you doing" Xia Tian asked again.

"I'm checking our flower shop's website. It's all set up now and orders can be placed!"

Xia Tian clicked on the URL and entered the flower shop’s website, which was called Xinxin Flower Shop. There were quite a few flowers on display in various categories; however, the basic materials mainly consisted of roses, lilies, carnations, and so forth, all priced rather high compared to those sold in-store. It seemed that this idea came from Fatman—raising the prices allowed them to expand their delivery range across the entire Jianghai City, no matter how far away it was, without worrying about a loss.

Of course, at present, the website had virtually zero traffic and thus no one placed orders. Sun Xinxin was currently promoting on various online platforms.

While chatting with Xia Tian, Sun Xinxin also continued to post ads; they不知不覺聊到了將近十二點，她終於熬不住先去睡覺了，而夏天冇多久也很鬱悶地去睡了。他本來是想和喬小橋一起睡的，可喬小橋卻正忙著賺錢，據說她在賺外國人的錢，而那邊現在正好是白天，所以她不能睡覺，隻能等那邊到了晚上，也就是這邊是白天的時候，她纔可以安心去睡。

第二天。

孫馨馨剛剛來到花店，便聽到方曉茹誇張地喊叫：“馨姐，馨姐，出大事了！”

"What’s wrong" Sun Xinxin was a little perplexed; what could possibly be so serious when everything seemed fine

"Come and have a look, see our website. Oh right, check if you've received any payments for your online banking account," Fang Xiaoru pulled Sun Xinxin to the computer side, "Look, there are so many orders. From last night until now, there were actually over ten people who ordered flowers. This is really abnormal. I suspect someone's playing a prank on us! Quickly, check if we've received any money!"

Seeing those dozen or so orders, Sun Xinxin’s first impression was that it must be some kind of prank. After all, the website had just been launched last night. Although she did post a little advertisement yesterday evening, how could there possibly already be ten people ordering flowers

A new online flower shop isn’t something others would easily trust in; especially since this particular shop requires payment before delivering the flowers. Some people might worry about being scammed and thus prefer to use established and reputable online flower shops instead. It was highly unlikely that anyone would choose a brand-new online flower store that had only been open for one day. Perhaps a couple of Jianghai University students might order from them, but there’s no way it could be so many in just one night!

"Ah! Someone else has placed an order this time, and they ordered a floral basket!" Fang Xiaoru exclaimed.

"I’ll check the bank account first." Although Sun Xinxin felt that these orders were probably pranks, she still decided to check her online banking account. If customers had truly paid up front, then she would still need to prepare for delivering flowers.

Yesterday, she specially opened a new bank card and activated online banking specifically for this online flower shop’s business needs. There was originally only ten yuan inside, but when she logged in and checked the balance, it had already increased by over two thousand! After checking the transaction details, she found that every single payment corresponded with those orders!

For a moment, Sun Xinxin was stunned. This wasn’t a prank There really were so many people ordering flowers But, but this is just too unbelievable...

Fang Xiaoru’s eyes widened in shock; after a while, she stammered, "D-Did these orders actually go through"

"Hurry up, let's get ready to deliver the flowers!" Sun Xinxin finally reacted and realized that she didn't have time to think about why such strange things were happening. If she didn't rush to deliver the flowers now, no one would ever place an order with her again after this.

"Xinjie, I'll prepare the flowers first. You call Xia Tian and tell him to come quickly to deliver them!" Fang XiaoRu said hurriedly, a hint of schadenfreude in her tone. "This guy has been so relaxed for so many days; today is his turn to be busy!"

"One order is in the west part of the city, another one is in the north part, and this one is almost at the outskirts! This one is close though, oh my god, I have to cover the entire Jianghai City just to deliver these flowers!" Sun Xinxin glanced at the delivery addresses and couldn't help but feel a headache coming. What kind of terrible idea did Fatty come up with How could one person possibly manage all that

"There's another order..." Fang XiaoRu looked at her computer listlessly, saying, "Today is really unlucky. It doesn’t seem to be any special day either, yet why are so many people ordering flowers"

Seeing Sun Xinxin looking a bit dazed, Fang XiaoRu urged, "Xinjie, you need to call Xia Tian quickly or it will be too late."

"Xia Tian needs to protect Little Qiao. How can he deliver flowers Even if I call him, one person can't cover all these places!" Sun Xinxin shook her head; she hadn’t called Xia Tian because she knew that protecting Little Qiao was more important.

"What should we do then" Fang XiaoRu thought it over and agreed. Judging by the trend, there would still be many orders today, with delivery addresses scattered across Jianghai City. Even if someone drove a car to deliver them, they might not manage all of them in one day, let alone if the recipients were cooperative.

Fang XiaoRu became truly worried: "Xinjie, where can we find people to deliver flowers Also, with so many orders, our store’s stock of fresh flowers might not be enough. You may even have to go to the flower market."ontrol, shouldn’t this also have been agreed upon between Second Brother and Mi Hong"Qiao ZhenGuo nodded. "Xiaoqiao, you're right. Although Dongyun isn't the brightest bulb on the tree, he wouldn't be...
