Chapter 385: Chapter 385: King of the Trash-Picking Kids Chapter 385: The King of Garbage-Picking Children Mengyu thought to herself, if only she had people who could surveil Jiang Huaiyu 24 hours a day, then the mastermind behind the scenes could perhaps be uncovered. However, Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe should have conducted their investigations too, right? If they couldn’t find anything, it’s likely that the mastermind isn’t so easily discovered. Mengyu felt somewhat dispirited: "Forget it, there’s no need to go out of my way to please her. Just surveil her as much as we can." Xiao Hua seemed hesitant to speak. Mengyu gave her a cold look: "If you have something to say, just say it." "Hehe." Xiao Hua laughed and asked, "Big sis, are you very rich?" Mengyu replied: "Yes!" "Actually, when Jiang Huaiyu is in school, it’s really easy for us to see what she’s doing. The key point is, when she’s not in school, why don’t we use money to hire people to watch her outside?" Naturally, Mengyu knew that when truly in school, with her current capabilities, as long as there was any unusual activity, a simple use of Divine Sense was sufficient to see everything. What she couldn’t see was what happened off-campus. Even if Xiao Hua were to befriend her, it would be tough to manage what she did outside of school. The thought of buying off Xiao Hua to keep an eye on Jiang Huaiyu was just one more insurance, not really expected to be greatly effective. In fact, she had harbored some bad intentions at the time. Jiang Huaiyu was always competing with her for things, right? Xiao Hua was the last person Jiang Huaiyu could use, and she wanted to ensure that Jiang Huaiyu couldn’t even use this last person. Therefore, employing Xiao Hua, surveillance was one aspect, and more importantly, to isolate Jiang Huaiyu—just that she hadn’t expected... "Money can do a lot of things, we might as well spend some to hire a few goons to watch her outside—" However, she wasn’t familiar with the local thugs. Moreover, could thugs really be trusted? Xiao Hua hurriedly spoke: "I’ve seen Tian Xianhua hanging out with several local thugs before, I remember them, I can go find them!" Mengyu considered for a moment and said: "Alright, go find them, but not you, it’ll be me." Xiao Hua: "Big sis—you— you going alone definitely won’t suffice, at the very least, we should go together!" Mengyu was only thinking about the convenience of going alone, but hadn’t expected that this Xiao Hua, who had just become her little sister, would actually start worrying about her. She smiled: "Okay, let’s go together then." But she had no plans to actually go find those thugs; instead, she intended to seek out someone else, a so-called Child King who mingled around the outskirts of the county, collecting and selling garbage—Lin Chengxin. In her previous life, as Ah Piao watching TV at Jiang Huaiyu’s house, she had seen a report about an entrepreneur. The entrepreneur’s name was Lin Chengxin. At eight years old, after a car accident claimed his parents, leaving him an orphan, he could not stand his uncle’s wife’s disparaging attitude after only three months at his uncle’s house. He ran away to the county to subsist by "licking plates" (i.e. eating leftover food at restaurants). Later on, discovering that others made money by picking and selling garbage, he followed suit to get by, even rallying a group of kids to occupy the garbage dumps around the county. As he grew up, he managed to get rich by picking, selling, and collecting garbage before starting a factory and then entering the construction materials industry, becoming a major entrepreneur. After watching the report, she remembered that Lin Chengxin was actually Ah Xin, someone she knew from when she used to pick garbage as a child. Back then, she could only afford to go to school by selling the garbage she picked. The first time she went to pick garbage in the county, she had a conflict with him over a piece of metal in the trash. However, when someone later accused Ah Xin of theft and wanted to beat him, she spoke up for him, and after that, their relationship improved. As a result, the two tacitly agreed not to pick from the same area. She headed south, while he headed north. Thus, there were no further conflicts between them. All of a sudden, Mengyu smacked her forehead: she always thought she had no one to use, but how could she have forgotten about those children? To watch Jiang Huaiyu, the best would be someone who wouldn’t draw attention, and wasn’t Ah Xin the perfect person for that? Moreover, she suddenly thought of a bold plan, and her heart immediately warmed with excitement.
