Chapter 45: Losing HopeHowever, Zhao Yiming forced himself to calm down as he began to pick up on their conversation—nothing but nonsense.
"Hey, I just realized... the door wasn’t even locked?" one of them said. The voice belonged to a man, probably in his mid-twenties.
"Tch! That damn Haolong always forgets shit. I swear, that man’s got the IQ of a chimpanzee," another man scoffed. "You know how many times I’ve had to help him open his car because he left the keys inside?"
"A lot!"
Both of them burst out laughing.
Zhao Yiming narrowed his eyes. Two, there were only two of them. He could handle that.
A spark of confidence lit inside him. An idea started to form.
He quickly opened his system’s shop and
"We were moved... truly. Knowing that someone still cared, that we weren’t alone—it meant the world to us. Thank you."
That last sentence struck them like a blade. They had tried their best—but it wasn’t enough.
Zhao Yiming opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Anything.
Don’t sell your shop.
Don’t give up.
We’ll protect you.
But no words came.
He didn’t have a solution. Not yet. Throwing money at the problem wouldn’t work—they’d reject it out of pride. And he respected that.
Just then, Luo Yanyu reached over and grabbed his hand. Her grip was firm, her eyes shining with fierce determination.
"Let’s go see Madam He," she said. "We’ll figure this out. We’re in this together."
