Chapter 11 - 011 The Missing Iron Plate
Chapter 11: The Disappeared Iron Plate
After tricking her Aunt and cousin, Ji You felt very happy. Once her body no longer felt strange, she immediately got up and hurried to the bus stop. The autonomous floating bus ran on a fixed route, with departures every five minutes, rarely experiencing issues like overloading or delays. Ji You didn't have to wait too long before a bus heading to district 10 arrived, and she quickly boarded; the floating bus swiftly set off.
40 minutes later, she arrived and got off the bus. Her house was located deep inside the district, requiring a 5-6 minute walk to reach. Along the way, ceaseless booming noises filled her ears...
Those were the sounds of spaceships dumping waste. During daytime, this booming never ceased and the residents of district 10 were used to it. Ji You? Having lived here for more than half a year, she had forced herself to adapt.
If she couldn't adapt, moving was the only choice. On the same planet, districts 5-6 were far from the waste-dumping sites and thus free of the roaring noise, but moving required money. Uncle Ji's family had even embezzled Ji You's family funds to move out of district 10.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Ji You had only walked a few steps when her communicator rang. She looked at her wrist and saw the caller was her Uncle Ji Weimin.
Clearly, Ji Weimin bore ill intentions.
Ji You hesitated, wondering whether to answer. But she felt she hadn't done anything wrong. Ji Yan's predicament was entirely self-inflicted. So what was there to fear?
She answered the call.
Ji Weimin's face immediately appeared, his brow furrowed, his eyes staring at Ji You with disdain as he commanded, "You little beast! What are you playing at? Get over to the police station in district 6 and clear up this misunderstanding now!"
