Chapter 921: Free of Debt, Light as a Feather
In the vast space, there were only Ji You and Mu Jianling, the only two humans present. The other machinery and components were all quietly placed to one side, and the surrounding area was so quiet that even a needle drop could be heard. When Mu Jianling heard Ji You say this sentence, she stared intently at Ji You, not letting any change in Ji You’s facial expression escape her. After a moment, for reasons unknown, the tight frown on Mu Jianling’s brow silently relaxed a bit.
Ji You looked at Teacher Mu Jianling, speaking with utmost seriousness, "Teacher... actually, I have a secret..."
"Stop!" Mu Jianling suddenly raised her hand, interrupting Ji You’s words.
Ji You was taken aback: "???"
Wiping away the seriousness from before, Mu Jianling returned to a calm expression, saying, "I will ask you a few questions, and you answer first."
Ji You looked confused but nodded, saying, "Okay."
Mu Jianling asked, "Is the source of your money legitimate?"

Mu Jianling raised her hand, interrupting her, continuing to ask, "With your secret, is your personal safety guaranteed with this money?"
Ji You’s face reddened slightly, and she softly replied, "Do I seem like the kind to risk my life for money?"
"Ahem..."
"Money is important, but my life is more important."
