"...Later, Miss Yu returned to the experimental base. However, we discovered people suspected to be from Organization S near the base. They seem to be following a young, silver-haired researcher. I have already reported this to Minister Lin, and the instruction I received is to wait and see." On the other end of the phone, the security personnel hidden in the shadows slowly finished reporting the latest situation of the day.

Under the warm orange light, the handsome man's face appeared even softer and gentler, but his slender, beautiful fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, displaying multiple small monitoring windows on the screen, with a piece of code running at high speed in the lower right corner.

"Do as Minister Lin says, and don't alert the enemy. Also, the information has been sent out." Tang Yue had already located the suspect's identity information, pressed the "Enter" key, and after a few seconds, the email showed that it had been sent successfully. He then hung up the phone.

He picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee; the coffee tasted even more bitter as it cooled down.

At the same time, information about the silver-haired youth popped up on the computer screen.

[Ji Ting, 1.82m tall, the third young master of Beijing, 23, Master of Physics from MIT, currently a researcher at the FCISA experimental base, and a capable assistant to Professor Li Huaqin...]

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow as he looked at the various awards displayed on the screen. Undoubtedly, this was a young genius in physics. But what interested him most was his identity.

Both the Ji and Yao families are top-tier wealthy families, and the two families have formed a powerful alliance through marriage.

He scrolled down with his mouse, and suddenly his gaze fell upon a stunning group photo. The image was displayed at the entrance of the Jiangcheng Airlines VIP lounge at the airport, clearly taken on the day Yu Wan "went on her overseas trip."

The comments below are full of things like "a perfect match" and "a couple with stunning looks"... that's pure bullshit!

Tang Yue's face darkened, and he quickly blocked the Weibo post. He leaned back, exhaled a breath of stale air, and picked up his phone to send a message.

[Tang: Wanwan, we don't even have a single photo together. So sad. JPG]

Buzz...

About a minute later, the phone vibrated twice.

Tang Yue glanced at it, his gaze suddenly turning incredibly sharp and cold.

The text message wasn't from Yu Wan, but from his good second uncle, Tang Zhanhang, who extended an invitation to him.

[Second Uncle: There's a family gathering tomorrow night at 8 PM. Remember to come back to the old house for dinner.]

Tang Yue took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, picked one up, lit it, and the rising smoke blurred his delicate face.

He wasn't addicted to cigarettes, but he would occasionally smoke one or two when he was extremely agitated.

During this time, Tang Zhanhang called him countless times, but he didn't answer. With his bet with Gao Lingchuan in January approaching, he was determined to get some information about the AI705 project out of him.

Tang Yue, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes narrowed at the corners, gave him an inexplicably sinister look. He tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and a document quickly appeared.

He needed to find a way to get Tang Zhanhang to take the information without him noticing. If Gao Lingchuan developed the project according to his plan, the investment would be three times the previous amount. Then Gao Lingchuan and Tang Zhanhang would fight it out, and he could reap the benefits.

After a moment of silence, he replied to the message.

Tang: Okay

-

Yu Wan only saw Tang Yue's message before going to sleep; four hours had passed since it was sent.

It's 3 a.m.

She stood in front of the coffee machine, got a cup of coffee, and started typing.

[Yu Xiaowan: Maybe it's because you're ugly.]

[...] The Peace was speechless.

The host is utterly insane.

How can someone like that possibly find a partner?

Yu Wan squinted: "Idiot Number, are you secretly cursing me?"

【！！！】

Buzzing...

The phone in his palm vibrated violently, temporarily saving the Peace.

Yu Wan glanced at the screen and saw that Tang Yue had replied to more than a dozen messages in one go, all of them... photos of him.

[Tang Gou: Front, side, back, including candid shots, ID photos, etc. Wanwan, answer me honestly, isn't he handsome?]

"..."

Yu Wan never imagined that one day she would be discussing with Tang Yue whether he was handsome or not.

Is this still the aloof and otherworldly young master of Jiangcheng?

[Handsome! Handsome! Handsome!] Peace suddenly commented cheekily: [According to comprehensive big data comparison, Tang Yue's looks rank among the top five in all of Asia.]

"..." Yu Wan asked, "Is your confinement period over?"

[It's over.] The Peaceship cheered: [Host, did you miss me?]

"Yes, of course I want to."

[Really? Hehehe, host, I missed you too.]

"Oh, I'd rather have you in the dark room."

It took a long while for Peace to realize what was happening, and in a fit of anger, it logged off immediately.

During a break in Yu Wan's chat with Hepinghao, Tang Yue, not receiving a response, sent over many more short videos.

[Tang Gou: The animated version is even more visually appealing.]

Yu Wan: "..."

Although she was reluctant, she still clicked on the short videos one by one, most of which were clips of Tang Yue being interviewed. Those were Tang Yue's most glorious moments, when he was adored by thousands and was considered a prodigy.

He seemed born for the camera; the moment he sat there, his gentle, refined aura emanated from the lens, drawing everyone's attention. Every move he made exuded elegance and grace, making him a model of nobility.

Tang Yue truly deserves the title of a refined gentleman, as elegant as an ancient orchid. And now, this god-like figure, left behind in the present day, is actually earnestly trying to prove to himself that he is very handsome.
