Xu Mu put down the spoon she was stirring her coffee with, picked up the cup, and took a small sip. The rich coffee left a faint sheen on the corner of her lips.

Shen Yu Nan had to admit that the other person's simple act of taking a sip of coffee had piqued his curiosity.

“In the world we live in, there is a technology called ‘fully immersive VR gaming technology.’ This virtual technology can control the five senses, dominate people’s vision and senses, and can reproduce reality one-to-one. The world we are in now is a virtual world created by this technology. The cup of coffee in my hand, the piano, even the staff member who just delivered your coffee, or to put it more broadly, the Diana building we are standing on right now, are all virtual people and things created by this technology.”

Xu Mu spoke slowly, but every word she uttered was like a bombshell dropped into Shen Yu'nan's heart. His heart was already churning with turmoil, but he still tried to remain calm on the surface, and he subconsciously straightened his back.

He could almost immediately tell that this person came from the same place as Pei Wu, but he remained cautious and silent, firmly believing that too much talk and action would inevitably lead to mistakes.

Xu Mu noticed her younger brother rubbing his fingertips incessantly. She knew this was a little habit her brother Jin Wei made when he was thinking. Her smile deepened, and a playful thought suddenly arose in her mind. "It seems that Mr. Shen knows about this matter. But don't you want to ask me who exactly I meant by 'we'?"

She suddenly felt like teasing her younger brother, who always looked like a little old man.

The question was suddenly turned to Shen Yu'nan, but as he lowered his eyes slightly, the hand that had been rubbing suddenly tightened. When he looked up again, he glanced at the watch on his wrist. "If Miss Xu continues to hesitate, I will take my leave."

Although Shen Yu'nan was puzzled, he pretended to get up and leave, but still did not intend to comment on what Xu Mu had said.

Just as Shen Yu Nan turned around, Xu Mu stood up and grabbed his wrist. She had no way to deal with this younger brother.

When the woman's warm palm touched Shen Yu Nan's wrist, Shen Yu Nan subconsciously pulled away from her. "Miss Xu, please have some self-respect!" At this moment, Shen Yu Nan reacted strongly and spoke with disgust. It was the most emotionally volatile moment since he met Xu Mu.

Shen Yu Nan knew his reputation was already bad enough, and this was in the Diana building, a coffee shop that Diana employees frequented. Besides, he was already Pei Wu's husband, and he didn't want to be caught arguing with another woman.

Xu Mu's hand was almost instantly flung away by Shen Yu Nan. She was used to playfully teasing her younger brother, and hadn't expected such a reaction. After a moment of surprise, she quickly said...

"The 'we' I'm referring to is me, Pei Wu, and...you."

When Xu Mu uttered the word "you," she clearly noticed Shen Yunan's back stiffen, and he even stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave.

"Having come this far, Mr. Shen, are you still not interested in continuing our conversation?"

“…” Shen Yu’nan gritted his teeth. He absolutely hated the feeling of being manipulated.

His face was frighteningly dark. "Five minutes. I'll give Miss Xu another five minutes. I hope your stammering won't waste any more time." He didn't sit down again after he finished speaking.

Seeing Shen Yunan's face, which was so dark it was almost dripping with water, Xu Mu briefly explained the whole story to him.

Shen Yu Nan is just the name of the male protagonist in this game. The consciousness that controls the character Shen Yu Nan from the real world is called Jin Wei. Jin Wei is different from Shen Yu Nan. He comes from a wealthy family, went abroad to study at a young age, and returned to China in the last two years. He also founded the An Yang Group.

The person he was glaring at was his older sister. After entering the game, she used her real name from the real world, 'Jin Mu'. However, the surname 'Jin' was too conspicuous and might arouse Pei Wu's suspicion, so she used the surname 'Xu' instead.

Since 'An Yang' is able to rival 'Bei Shang', it is naturally not to be underestimated. When the story was fragmented and the plot could not proceed normally, 'An Yang' also took its own measures to interfere with the game's plot, and planted the character 'Sun Min'. Sun Min was originally a researcher of 'An Yang Group'.
