Chapter 1776: Unlucky Heiress (44)

“Tongzi, check this year's liberal arts examinees in the city. See if anything unusual happened to the top thirty.” Sitting in the snack shop, Tang Guo narrowed her eyes slightly. Something this abnormal definitely had to have a cause.

【Alright, Host.】

At the same time, Tang Kui, who had already returned to the company, said, “Three-One-One, investigate the students who ranked ahead of Tang Yi in liberal arts. I have a feeling she probably made a wish on that Lucky Charm. I really don't know what she's after. Her grades weren't bad to begin with.”

111 grumbled inwardly.

What else? She just wants your hugs and praise.

Complaints aside, he obediently went to investigate.

It didn't take long before both systems discovered the same thing.

【Host, we found something. The student who was originally ranked first in the city in liberal arts was struck on the head by an object that fell from above while walking downstairs on the second day of the examinations. She remains unconscious.】

The system's voice turned serious.

【Host, could it be that Tang Yi wrote down a wish and caused this coincidence? The object wasn't deliberately thrown. It was a small flowerpot someone had left on the top floor. Fortunately, it was made of plastic, though it still contained soil. If it had been another material, that girl might have died.】

“Let's go to the hospital.”

Tang Guo didn't believe that being targeted by that evil thing would only result in a head injury.

There might be further consequences.

After informing Chen Xian and Zhao Wen that she was going out for a stroll, she hailed a taxi to the hospital.

Following the information provided by the system, she made her way toward the girl's ward.

The girl was still unconscious.

Clearly, her injuries weren't light.

At the doorway, she saw a middle-aged woman with a pale face sitting by the bedside, grief written all over her features.

Lying on the bed was a young girl whose face still carried traces of youthful innocence.

Tang Guo walked in and greeted her.

“Hello, Auntie. I'm here to see Xu Nini.”

The middle-aged woman quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.

“And you are?”

“Someone who was once helped by Xu Nini,” Tang Guo lied without changing expression. “I dropped my wallet once, and fortunately, Xu Nini found it and returned it to me.”

Although Xu Nini had never helped her personally, the girl had always been blessed with good luck in this regard.

She often picked up lost wallets and successfully returned them to their owners.

Xu Nini herself probably couldn't even remember how many wallets she had found, much less what their owners looked like.

Not only was she an excellent student, but she was also the type who would still help elderly ladies cross the street.

She was practically a rare pure soul.

The Xu family wasn't wealthy, but Xu Nini's academic excellence had made her the hope of the entire household.

Besides studying, she worked part-time as a tutor to help support the family.

Now that something had happened to her, Mother Xu felt as though the sky had collapsed.

So many days had passed, and Xu Nini still hadn't woken up.

The doctors had assured her that she would regain consciousness, but each day passed without any change.

Mother Xu had begun to suspect that they were only comforting her.

Perhaps Xu Nini had become a vegetable and would never wake up again.

Every time she thought of that possibility, tears streamed down her face.

Had her daughter simply been too fortunate?

Too kind?

Was that why Heaven wanted to take her away?
