After the Paranoid Female Lead Lost Her Memory, She Insisted on Pursuing This Cannon Fodder - Chapter 44

At that very moment, on the other side of the city, Lin Zhaoyue had just stepped off the private helipad. The salty sea breeze immediately rushed at her, carrying the scent of sunshine and seawater, causing her to squint slightly.

In the distance, the dazzlingly azure sea blurred into the horizon. Golden sand dotted with sparse parasols stretched along the shore, while a few seagulls circled low overhead, their clear cries echoing through the air. Swaying palm trees cast dappled shadows, and the entire scene exuded a relaxed vacation atmosphere.

The brightness was almost blinding.

She raised her hand and removed the sunglasses that covered nearly half her face, revealing eyes that, though slightly tired, still shone with a sharp intelligence.

“Aunt Wang, they’re really here on business, right?”

As soon as the words left her lips, Lin Zhaoyue turned to look at Aunt Wang, her gaze freezing instantly.

Aunt Wang had somehow changed into a gaudy tropical-print shirt and donned a wide-brimmed straw hat. She was excitedly looking around, muttering to herself:

“Oh my, I heard the seashell necklaces here are lovely, and they have little turtles carved from coconut shells. What local specialties should I bring back…”

Lin Zhaoyue: “……”

Aunt Wang, sensing the young miss’s murderous glare, quickly suppressed her smile, straightened her back, and resumed her usual stern demeanor as the Lin Family’s housekeeper.

“Ah, yes, yes, Young Miss, this is the place. According to our investigation, Miss Shen and Miss Zhang arrived in this city this morning.”

“However…”

Aunt Wang’s tone shifted, a hint of unease creeping into her expression.

Lin Zhaoyue immediately pressed:

“However what?”

“Zhang Wei’s internship company has powerful connections—it’s a subsidiary of a major aristocratic family. The hotel they’re staying at is also owned by this company.”

Aunt Wang lowered her voice, leaning closer:

“So… Young Miss, this hotel’s security is extremely tight! Forget about kidnapping… uh, I mean, ‘inviting’ Miss Zhang out. The hotel is fully booked, and without a reservation, we might not even get past the front gate.”

Lin Zhaoyue frowned. As the most notorious villainess in this novel, how could she be denied entry to a mere hotel?

“Not even with the Lin Family’s name?”

“Using the Lin Family name is even worse!” Aunt Wang glanced cautiously around, lowering her voice further. “Young Master Wang Ba got into a nasty feud with one of those Young Masters from that family over a woman. It was quite a scandal.”

Lin Zhaoyue: “……”

No wonder she’s a top-tier gossip queen.

Aunt Wang continued: “I heard this hotel is managed by that Young Master. If we mention the Lin Family name, we’d be lucky if they didn’t deliberately sabotage us. How could they possibly let us in?”

Lin Wangba! That damn Lin Wangba again!

She was now immensely grateful she’d already blocked that useless troublemaker!

But… if she couldn’t get into the hotel, how could she carry out her plan to “kidnap” Zhang Wei?

She couldn’t just wait for them to come out, could she? What if something happened to Zhang Wei inside the hotel?

Lin Zhaoyue bit her fingernail in frustration.

If only I’d kidnapped her before they left the city! It’s all Shen Yuan’s fault for running away!

She huffed inwardly, completely forgetting that she had been the one who drove Shen Yuan away in the first place.

System: Host, the Will of the World is currently offline. You can do things you normally wouldn’t be able to—unconventional things.

Lin Zhaoyue paused, then asked: …Seduce Shen Yuan and get her to invite me to stay?

System: ?

System: That’s certainly unconventional, but most people wouldn’t even think of that.

Lin Zhaoyue rolled her eyes. No chance. She’s regained her memories; she’s not so easily seduced anymore.

If seducing her when she had amnesia was as simple as batting my eyelashes, then seducing the original version of her would require every trick in the book.

Besides, I was in agony that day, and she still misunderstood me. I’m still furious about that. So unless it’s absolutely necessary, I’m not resorting to that method!

System: So, I never even suggested you seduce her…

Before the System could finish, Lin Zhaoyue’s phone suddenly—

♬♪♩♫♪♬♪♫♪♩♫♬♫♪~

rang with a loud, insistent tune.

A WeChat call?

Lin Zhaoyue frowned, impatiently pulling out her phone.

But when she saw the caller ID—the profile picture and the name—she froze completely.

On the screen, the familiar name she had saved as “Little Dog” appeared. Her profile picture had also been changed, now showing an actual puppy jumping joyfully.

Shen Yuan?

And a video call?!

System: Host, your chance to seduce the main heroine has arrived!

Lin Zhaoyue: ?

Did you just say that?
