"My elder brother committed suicide by jumping off a building because of a wrong decision that led to the company's bankruptcy and delisting."

Sheng Jiarong: "..."

"My second brother was exposed for his concubine selection and for sleeping with a female fan under the age of 18. He was banned from the entire internet and got into legal trouble. He couldn't accept such a cruel reality, suffered a mental breakdown, developed schizophrenia, and was admitted to a mental hospital."

Sheng Jing wanted to cry: "..."

"My fourth brother defended a criminal suspect, which led to a wrongful conviction and retaliation from the victim. He was beaten, his legs were broken, and his tongue was cut out."

Sheng Jiagui sneered twice, his eyes saying, "The original owner was indeed a good-for-nothing."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Tianxing felt a chill run down his spine.

If everyone in the family met a bad end, what about myself?

What happened to that damned romance novel of hers?

Sheng Jiafu looked at Sheng Tianxing and adjusted his glasses: "Your fate is not bad. You didn't die, you weren't crippled, you didn't go to jail, you didn't end up in a mental hospital, and you're still eating and drinking well."

Sheng Tianxing patted his chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Sheng Jiafu added, "It's just that you've caught the eye of the Huo family patriarch, one of the four great families in Beijing, and you've been locked up in his secret villa. You can't go out or see anyone."

"What?" Sheng Tianxing screamed, "That old man Huo is over sixty years old. He's said to be a pervert who likes to play with and torture young and beautiful girls."

"How could I, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Sheng family, have fallen to such a state?"

"What's your name?" Sheng Jiafu asked. "That's from my past life."

"Your fate in this life is different from your fate in the last life, so you shouldn't end up like that."

Sheng Tianxing bit her lip and said fiercely, "You're right."

"The Sheng family is different in this life than in the last, and I am different in this life as well."

"I will never let myself end up like that."

Sheng Jiafu took a sip of red wine and adjusted his glasses: "Who's next?"

All eyes fell on Sheng Jing.

Shengjing wanted to say, "Why didn't you say so first?"

But the other three were all more capable than him, and he couldn't control them.

So he took a deep breath and said reluctantly but with a hint of boastfulness, "I've bound myself to a system."

"The system is called the 'Superstar Creation System,' and it can help me become an international superstar."

"Those who have read system novels know that the functions of a system are roughly like this: issue tasks, complete tasks to get rewards or points, and points can be used to improve personal attributes or to buy various items..."

Sheng Tianxing interrupted him: "Can those props deal with Sheng Ai?"

Sheng Jing hesitated, saying, "At present, it's not possible."

"but……"

But everyone had clearly lost interest.

Sheng Jiagui asked, "Big brother, what are your abilities?"

Shengjing: "..."

He possesses the legendary system!

As long as you complete the system's tasks or have enough points, the system can do anything!

Why aren't these people interested?

In what way is his system not superior to theirs?

The secret he had guarded for so long, they weren't even a little envious or interested?

I'm so angry...

No one looked at him; all eyes were on Sheng Jiarong.

After a few seconds of silence, Sheng Jiarong calmly said, "Mind reading."

"In a space without enough obstructions, I can hear everyone's thoughts."

Mind reading?

Everyone's expression changed, and they all pulled their chairs back.

The siblings even retreated to the restaurant entrance, hiding outside and only daring to peek out halfway.

Even Sheng Shi and Hang Wei retreated to a corner.

"So... can you still hear me?" Sheng Jing asked nervously.

He often had all sorts of evil thoughts in his mind.

This includes cursing or fantasizing about people in your family.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking in my mind; I would never actually do that in reality...

Sheng Jiarong said helplessly, "I can hear you..."

Bang!

The restaurant door was closed.

Sheng Jing's voice came through: "Can you still hear me like this?"

Sheng Jiarong: "I can't hear you."

The restaurant door was pushed open again.

Sheng Jiagui walked in and calmly sat back down in his original seat: "Do you really enjoy listening to what other people are thinking?"

He hadn't expected Sheng Jiarong's cheat code to be so powerful!

Thinking back on the past year, how Sheng Jiarong had overheard all his thoughts whenever he got close to him, he even harbored murderous intentions...

“You can think about it, but don’t actually kill me.” Sheng Jiarong sighed. “You have to understand, hearing those messy thoughts from the people around you is actually a kind of torture.”

"If possible, I only want to hear things that are good for me."

"That's why I've tried to stay away from my family this past year."

Sheng Jiagui wasn't actually that afraid of Sheng Jiarong hearing his true feelings.

He had killed people, disposed of bodies, escaped, defended himself, served ten years in prison, and even dared to break out of prison...

With his abilities, why would he be afraid of someone on the same rope knowing what he's thinking?

He asked, "How far away are you from which you can hear the voice of someone's heart?"

Sheng Jiarong: "In a quiet environment, about ten meters."

“In a noisy environment, it’s about four or five meters away.”

No one really believed it.

How could someone as shrewd as him possibly tell the truth?

The scope that can be "read" is probably much wider than this...

Sheng Jiarong heard it all in everyone's hearts.

He didn't say a word.

No matter what he says, no one will believe him.

It's up to others whether they believe it or not.

Sheng Jiagui: "Since you can hear Sheng Ai's innermost thoughts, how could you..."

“I can’t hear Sheng Ai’s true feelings,” Sheng Jiarong interrupted Sheng Jiagui. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been tormented by her to such a wretched state.”

"Also, I can't hear Ninth Master's thoughts."

Everyone was secretly alarmed.

Sheng Tianxing poked his head out from outside the door: "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, as far as you know, Ninth Master is an ordinary person, right?"

"He couldn't possibly be a monster like Sheng Ai, could he?"

Sheng Jiagui: "Ninth Master doesn't appear much in the original book. He's very mysterious, but he's also very powerful."

"Every time he appears, he plays a decisive role."

"At least in the book, he is portrayed as a powerful and influential figure, a living, breathing human being."

Sheng Jiafu also said, "In my previous life, I didn't have the opportunity to meet Ninth Master, but Ninth Master didn't have any abilities beyond those of an ordinary person."

"Then how come my elder brother can't hear his thoughts?" Sheng Tianxing asked, increasingly puzzled. "I can't see his destiny either..."

"Let's not talk about that now." Sheng Jiagui looked at Sheng Shi and his wife. "Dad, Mom, where's your magic touch?"

Shengshi remained silent.

Hang Wei didn't actually want to be exposed.

After all, this is her trump card.

But Sheng Jiarong has the ability to read minds, so he should have known her secret long ago; it couldn't be kept hidden.

So she sighed: "I possess... space."
