Chapter 117 - 115: Famous Overnight (Double-Length)
Chapter 117: Chapter 115: Famous Overnight (Double-Length)
Ji Xizhi replied to the private message and exited the chat.
She wasn’t interested in the banquet invites Xue Fan sent. In her previous life, she attended quite a few, and the endless rounds of toasts were really pointless.
They didn’t seem much benefit to her current thesis topic either.
Ji Xizhi didn’t think much and directly declined.
She swiftly withdrew the remaining balance from the forum and then logged out of the website.
Just as she logged out.
The homepage of the website showed that the help post Xue Fan had previously made was bumped back to the top.
In that post, Xue Fan could not find a lawyer to take on the case despite offering a lot of money. The replies were all about how the lawsuit was hopeless and impossible to win. Later, when Xue Fan got the inheritance, he specifically replied to the post saying that he won the case.
That one sentence blew up half of the forum’s users.
“12L: Won? Really won?”
“13L: Impressive, did they hire Qi Zheng?”
“101L: Doesn’t seem like it. I have business dealings with Qi Zheng, and he hasn’t taken any inheritance cases lately?”
“1112L: @Host, ask which law firm it is from?!”
Xue Fan’s post quickly shot to popularity, with replies exceeding over a thousand.
More and more people started asking for recommendations and contact information on the forum. Such inheritance lawsuits are usually highly contested legal battles among the wealthy, and most families have dealt with them to some extent. Since Xue Fan had just gone through one, he understood, so he promised to ask if the big shot known as 5577 was still taking on cases.
Unfortunately, the big shot had no plans of taking on new cases.
And just now, Xue Fan updated with the latest reply.
“Host: The big shot said he isn’t short on money and isn’t taking cases for now.”
“1532L: I’ve been waiting for so long, and this is what you tell me?”
“1533L: ??? Don’t say that, my dad’s illegitimate child just found a famous lawyer to fight with me. I’m begging the host for a link, I’m willing to pay one-third of the inheritance!!!”
“1534L: Does this person really exist? I even doubt whether the host is real!”
“1535L: Were the lawsuits fake? Disperse, disperse, it’s a waste of time!!!”
“1598L: Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I’m curious. I’m very interested in the breakthrough! I’d love to chat with him~”
Xue Fan’s next reply disappointed many people in the thread.
There were still those searching, those verifying its authenticity, and some had already given up, but overall, this big shot’s name became famous on the forum.

In “Life Experience,” Ji Xizhi briefly totaled up the money, planning to donate a set of broadcasting systems to each village.
It’s not only Lishui County; other impoverished counties might have similar issues.
The compensation from Hangxing Entertainment and Black Fan, these two sums of money can be donated to strengthen public legal education for this world.
After making the decision, Ji Xizhi typed a few outlines on the computer and then lay down to sleep.
The light above the large communal bed was turned off, and in the stillness of the night, it was a good time for the girls to have a nocturnal conversation.
Knowing this, the guests didn’t just lay down and sleep.
The fans in the live streaming room stayed up just for this.
[Want to listen to their chat hehe~]
[Me too, me too~ Hope everyone can gain friendship from this show~]
[Honestly, gaining love wouldn’t be bad either~]
The room went dark, and Zhong Yulu spoke first, “Tomorrow, let’s rent a car and visit a more distant village to see if there are any new tasks!”
For a while now, Sheng Yaoyao had been suffering from insomnia, so she joined the conversation, saying, “That sounds good. Uncle Yan’s task at the market hasn’t been completed yet. I feel there are still quite a few tasks at the market, but they seem hard to find. Maybe tomorrow we can find a way to probe Director Wang for information! Or ask Zhi Zhi for tips on task-solving. Zhi Zhi was really incredible today!”
“Sure, I’ll go with you tomorrow to help Uncle Yan find tasks as well! The more, the merrier!” Zhong Yulu said.
Zou Li also lightly responded from the side, “Lu Lu, I’ll help you find tasks tomorrow too.”
Zhong Yulu replied with a smile.
The few of them quickly agreed. Seeing Ji Xizhi not speaking, Sheng Yaoyao thought Ji Xizhi was naturally cold and shy.
She proactively asked, “Zhi Zhi, any plans for tomorrow?”
…
There was a moment of silence from Ji Xizhi’s bed.
Beside her, Zhong Yulu heard Sheng Yaoyao try once again to contact Ji Xizhi and frowned, but fortunately, the program team had already turned off the lights, so nothing was recorded.
Sheng Yaoyao called out twice, but Ji Xizhi did not respond.
This time, Zhong Yulu was less annoyed.
The lights just went off, and everyone had just laid down. It’s impossible for Ji Xizhi to already be asleep, right?
Not asleep, but she also didn’t respond to Sheng Yaoyao.
Looks like she’s trying to avoid questions about her getting the program task card.
Indeed, Ji Xizhi wouldn’t easily share such a vital piece of information; otherwise, how would she create her highlight moment?
But someone of Sheng Yaoyao’s status actively cueing Ji Xizhi, and Ji Xizhi instead choosing to protect the task card, not responding, seems a bit ungrateful!
Even if Sheng Yaoyao didn’t show it outwardly, she’d surely have some displeasure towards Ji Xizhi.
Thinking this, Zhong Yulu gently comforted, “Sister Yao Yao, Zhi Zhi might be quite tired today and not want to talk!”
[Don’t tell me Ji Xizhi fell asleep right after lying down!]
[……No one falls asleep that quickly, right? She’s feigning sleep, afraid others will ask her about the secret to completing tasks!]
[? Doesn’t everyone know Ji Xizhi’s success secret? Shall I shout it in your ear with a megaphone? Study law! Study! Study law! Remember?]
[Her refusal to respond is really not sociable and quite rude! Sheng Yaoyao is still her senior!]
The comments were saying.
Zhong Yulu’s voice fell, and Sheng Yaoyao, unusually, didn’t follow up.
With the chatter gone, once the room quieted, Ji Xizhi’s bed was now audible with a steady breathing sound.
The breathing was soft and long.
Sheng Yaoyao slept farthest from Ji Xizhi, so she poked her head out from under her covers, “Zhi Zhi is already asleep?”
Before Zhong Yulu could respond.
Zou Li lightly turned over and leaned toward Ji Xizhi, only responding to Sheng Yaoyao after a while, “Seems like she’s asleep.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yaoyao immediately reacted with extreme envy.
“Her sleep quality is amazing!!!”
Ever since having her child, she hadn’t fallen asleep so easily.
Beside her, Zhong Yulu: “???”
Can even falling asleep fast become enviable now?!
Fans of Sheng Yaoyao in the live stream knew about her insomnia, and they started explaining on the chat.
[Yao Bao has been suffering from insomnia recently, anxiety, and a lot of stress. She’s super desperate for Zhi Zhi to show her a way~ I can support Ji Xizhi by engaging in her trending topics!]
[Honestly, even if Ji Xizhi doesn’t talk about it, I’ll share a bit. Ever since following Ji Xizhi’s routine of waking up at five or six in the morning, sleeping at eleven at night, studying and exercising during the day, I’ve been sleeping soundly!]
[Indeed, you don’t even notice until it’s pointed out. For a long time now, my mom hasn’t been knocking on my door at midnight, telling me to stop being on my phone (well, I didn’t because I was too exhausted from studying all day, just wanted to sleep at night!)]
[Yeah, Ji Xizhi ran several kilometers today, you would know if you listened to Zhu Xiu’an’s earth-shattering cheers next door! No one would say she’s feigning sleep!]
Seeing Ji Xizhi sleep so well, the other guests lost the will for a night chat.
What’s there to talk about! Sleep is the true way forward!!!

Having gone to bed early, Ji Xizhi missed this round of night talk, waking up the next morning.
She looked at the time, six o’clock.
Time to wake Director Wang for a run.
