The Heroine Fell Deeply For Her [Quick Transmigration] 102

Chapter 102: I Love Slacking Off

Eastern Star’s spaceport was open 24/7 and always bustling with people.

The flight to the First Star System was scheduled to depart at 10:00 AM, and many people had already gathered at the spaceport, preparing to board.

Su Ziying was among them, but unlike the others, she wasn’t going to the First Star System for sightseeing, but for a business trip.

Her wicked boss, after hearing that her psychic power wasn’t low, readily approved the expenses for this flight, instructing her to go and return quickly.

Su Ziying, who had just returned from the Third Star System not long ago: “…”

Taking the fastest ship to become a workhorse for another department’s leader.

She silently told herself not to be short-sighted and lose her hard-earned job. She could always vent about her idiotic boss on her alternate account.

Standing among the crowd, listening to the announcements, Su Ziying wasn’t looking forward to the First Star System, a place she had never been to.

Anything work-related, even if it were paradise, wouldn’t excite her.

Lost in her thoughts, Su Ziying didn’t notice the two people behind her, only feeling that people were being inconsiderate today, talking loudly nearby.

She frowned, even contemplating sleeping while standing.

Just before boarding, she happened to glance back and saw the two people behind her, pausing slightly, seemingly understanding the commotion.

One of them was tall and elegant, with short, stylish hair, sunglasses hiding her eyes, but her exposed lower face was striking enough.

Compared to the celebrity advertisements around her, she was no less eye-catching.

Tao Ning, seeing her frozen in place, gave her a puzzled look before walking past her, ending up in the same row as Su Ziying.

Sitting on the inside seat was Callista, who looked unenthusiastic. She had had enough of traveling by ship and couldn’t understand how her people endured such long journeys.

And her arrival on land hadn’t caused such a stir, otherwise, the Federation wouldn’t be treating her with such caution.

So, the question was, how did her people, who had never been to the surface and barely knew of human society, suddenly decide to come ashore, traveling so far?

Birds of a feather flock together. The old Callista would have single-mindedly focused on finding her people, but now she considered other possibilities.

Su Ziying, her face slightly flushed, sat down, ignoring the messages from her boss and colleagues, and started browsing the Starnet.

She scrolled through the news, but it was all old news from the past few days, nothing interesting.

Still discussing the Mermaid kidnapping incident that shocked the entire Federation, Gu Yuan returning injured, bringing back only a female student.

This wasn’t exactly a secret, as Gu Yuan was forced to reveal his identity while being pursued and was rescued by the Prime Minister’s Office of the Eighth Star System, who personally arranged for his return to the First Star System.

It also mentioned that after safely returning the female student to her family, Gu Yuan collapsed and remained unconscious in the hospital.

Matters of the military and the Ninth Star System were too distant for an ordinary person like Su Ziying. She was also past the age of idolizing someone and showering them with affection. Dealing with her troublesome boss already consumed most of her energy, and she wasn’t particularly moved by this news.

Ignoring the well-wishes for Gu Yuan, Su Ziying’s eyes narrowed as she saw a different piece of news.

Zang Yuzhu’s funeral? She read silently.

Scrolling down, she learned that Gu Yuan had a cousin with a poor reputation, who had also died in the kidnapping incident, in her early twenties.

Still so young, just a little sister who had barely reached adulthood in Su Ziying’s eyes. It was such a pity.

No one really paid attention to Zang Yuzhu’s funeral. Regardless of who she was in life, everything was settled, there was no need for further discussion.

However, the unnoticed funeral suddenly became a topic of discussion, and there had to be a reason.

It started with a single post, a post from someone who shouldn’t be alive.

Eradicate All Carrots in the Universe: [First time attending my own funeral, very interesting.]

Posted: 10:05:32

This was ridiculous, who would hold their own funeral for fun… Wait, this ID looked familiar.

Many people saw this post, their first reaction being that it was another fake Zang Yuzhu account, then realizing something was off. This ID had no typos, it wasn’t a fake.

A closer look revealed it was Zang Yuzhu’s official account.

A dead person had come back to life!

According to reports, the Silver Ship had been captured by the White Ravens, and Zang Yuzhu was on board, her fate unknown.

Even if she hadn’t died in the attack, she couldn’t have survived among the White Ravens.

Most people hadn’t seen what kind of place the White Ravens’ base was, but they had certainly heard of its notoriety, a place of no return.

It was said that when the child of the Seventh Star System’s richest man was kidnapped, the man paid almost all his liquid assets, but still couldn’t buy his child’s life.

So, Zang Yuzhu, who already had a grudge against the White Ravens, definitely wouldn’t survive.

Netizens left comments:

[Account hacked?]

[Seriously, hacking a dead person’s account, how immoral.]

[If you have nothing better to do, go scavenge in the Ninth Star System, hacking someone’s account makes you feel smart?]

Eradicate All Carrots in the Universe: [Not hacked, it’s me.]

[No way, you’re still alive?]

[Where are you?]

[Weren’t you kidnapped? How did you escape?]

Some were shocked and happy for Zang Yuzhu’s survival, while others felt something was off. The ruthless White Ravens weren’t some amusement park, who could just walk in and out as they pleased?

So, a new theory emerged: [How could someone escape from the White Ravens’ base? I heard Zang Yuzhu isn’t some war god… Don’t tell me…?]

Tao Ning answered one of the questions: [On a ship, about to land.]

Then she stopped replying, content with stirring the pot and ignoring the ensuing commotion.

Someone said: [No way, I tried searching, and I actually found Zang Yuzhu’s flight information, she’s really on her way back. I used unofficial channels, this account is gone, so appreciate it while you can.]

Within seconds, the account was deactivated, showing a 404 error.

Many people had quickly taken screenshots, including the flight information, confirming she was indeed returning.

This post silenced the skeptical netizens.

Who would have thought she would be so audacious, using Zang Yuzhu’s name to buy a ticket, even allowing her flight to be tracked?

On the spaceship, many people were browsing the Starnet, while others received forwarded messages from friends and family, asking if they were on this flight.

Checking the information, the passengers confirmed it was indeed their flight, and a commotion arose as they searched for Zang Yuzhu.

Young women with long hair and a delicate appearance were especially scrutinized, but none of them seemed to fit the description.

Everyone looked normal, and there weren’t many young women with long hair.

Perhaps someone had just randomly chosen a flight and made it up?

The heated discussion on the Starnet included Zang Yuzhu’s photo, making it difficult for those who had seen it to not recognize her.

But they were all blinded by the obvious. The current Zang Yuzhu wasn’t delicate, nor did she have long hair. She was sitting in the first row, calmly listening to everyone discuss Zang Yuzhu.

Callista, after listening for a while, leaned close to Tao Ning’s ear and said, “They’re all talking about you.”

Tao Ning hummed in acknowledgement: “I know.”

Callista continued, “They’re also saying that there’s something wrong with you returning safely, according to the Starnet.”

At the same time, Su Ziying also saw a high-definition photo of Zang Yuzhu. Her first thought was that she was beautiful, her second that she looked familiar.

Studying the photo for a while, Su Ziying had a sudden idea. She covered the eyes in the photo with her thumb, revealing only the lower half of the face.

This made it even more familiar.

Su Ziying felt she had seen this face somewhere, the feeling growing stronger, the nagging thought frustrating.

Suddenly, it hit her, and she slowly turned to look at the seat across the aisle.

The nose, the chin, except for the slightly paler lips, it was identical to the photo!

The short-haired woman in sunglasses seemed to sense her gaze and turned her head, pulling down her sunglasses, revealing beautiful eyes.

She didn’t speak, a sleepy head resting on her shoulder, her eyes clearly asking, “Something wrong?”

Su Ziying: “!!!”

Oh my god, it really is Zang Yuzhu!

Tao Ning pushed her sunglasses back up, not caring if the other person recognized her, and closed her eyes to rest.

Su Ziying, however, was shaken, constantly glancing at the figure beside her, but for some reason, she didn’t reveal Zang Yuzhu’s whereabouts.

While revealing her presence might bring her unprecedented attention, it would be fleeting. Moreover, she had been working for years, holding a position in the Fifth Star System’s government. If there really was something wrong with Zang Yuzhu, she might be questioned.

Thinking of this, Su Ziying lost interest. She was just someone who hated business trips, everything else had nothing to do with her.

The passengers, unable to find Zang Yuzhu, finally quieted down, refuting the online rumors, claiming there was no Zang Yuzhu on board.

Netizens felt deceived, criticizing the person who posted the flight information and the person who hacked Zang Yuzhu’s account.

Making such jokes about someone who had just died wasn’t funny.

However, not everyone believed the online discussions, trusting concrete evidence instead, choosing to remain neutral and wait for the official announcement.

The muddy waters continued to be stirred until the news reached Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng: “Are you sure it’s her?”

The secretary nodded: “According to the surveillance footage from the Eastern Star spaceport in the Fifth Star System, it’s definitely her.”

Gu Changfeng paused, muttering softly, “How is she still alive?”

The secretary also stopped, asking, “What should we do now?”

Gu Changfeng looked at the secretary, a dark glint in his eyes behind his glasses, his tone low: “What can I do? Everyone knows about her now, we can only play it by ear.”

The secretary followed him, both thinking the same thing.

They regretted letting Zang Yuzhu live for so long and regretted agreeing to Gu Yuan’s request to take her to the deserted planet for the exercise, hoping to find an opportunity to eliminate her.
