Chapter 4
The elegant gray Cayenne driving in the night rain splashed water, and the car was filled with a hint of tobacco fragrance, with a cool mint aftertaste mixed with a hint of alcohol.
It smelled good, but it was so fragrant that it made him feel a little carsick. Su He really wanted to ask to open the car window a little, but he was afraid that rain would come in and wet the interior, so he had to lean closer to the window.
The back seat was already spacious, and there was almost a person's distance between him and Sheng Jinyu.
Su He looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror. Sheng Jinyu was resting his chin with his eyes closed. He had changed into a rather formal burgundy dress. The jewel brooch on his chest reflected the light outside the window, casting a little light on his chin.
This face is indeed perfect, with the bangs pulled back and neatly groomed, revealing a smooth forehead, but Sheng Jin's brows are furrowed, and his whole body exudes an unignorable hostility and fatigue.
Su He guessed that the other party had just finished a family banquet and seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol.
He turned his head, glanced at Sheng Jinyu twice, and asked bluntly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Su He's voice was not loud and his voice was thin, and was almost completely covered by the dynamic music.
Sheng Jin and Chu Shi didn't move, and it wasn't known whether they hadn't heard it. After a while, they opened their eyes, and there were some red bloodshot on the whites of their eyes.
He didn't even look at Su He, and said nonchalantly: "You've already started to 'do your duty' so quickly, I should praise you for your dedication."
Su He seemed not to hear the sarcasm in these words, and curled his lips towards Sheng Jinyu: "That's not necessary."
Sheng Jinyu sneered and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
He has a terrible headache now.
The Sheng family is large and several of Grandpa Sheng's brothers are still alive. Every gathering is a big deal. Sheng Jin is accompanied by a lot of uncles, aunts, brothers and brothers, and each of them has a sharp tongue.
He had just finally escaped from the group of monsters in his ancestral home. His ears were numb from hearing all the flattery, teasing and sarcastic remarks. He was too lazy to beat around the bush with Su He anymore.
"What did Sheng Zonglan tell you? To monitor my every move and report regularly, or to find an opportunity to steal the documents in my hands?"
Sheng Jinyu asked with his eyes closed.
It took Su He two seconds to realize that the person he was talking about was Chairman Sheng. Since he could call his biological father by his name, the relationship between them must not be very good.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, because Sheng Jinyu had guessed correctly that these were the tasks assigned to him by Chairman Sheng. It was true that no one knows a father better than his son.
Su He was not good at making up lies, so he had to pick out the nice things to say: "Director Sheng also asked me to take good care of your health. He hopes you get better soon."
"Really... he asked you to care about my health?" Sheng Jinyu raised his eyelids and looked at him coldly, obviously not believing it.
"When you're trying to please me, remember to do your homework beforehand, so you don't make up stories that are so fake."
Sheng Jinyu, who was drunk, was more aggressive than during the day, and he could pierce Su He directly with his thorns through the air.
Su He finally understood that Sheng Jinyu didn't dislike him, but he knew that he was an undercover sent by his father, so he also extended his hatred for Chairman Sheng to him.
Su He instantly felt like the sky was falling. How did Sheng Jinyu know this?!
Doesn’t the book say he didn’t know?
Since Sheng Jin and others already knew what he was here for, could he still be called an undercover spy?
This is basically Werewolf! The difficulty level has skyrocketed exponentially!
Su He pouted miserably, thinking anxiously in his heart. Sheng Jinyu's gaze moved back and forth on his wrinkled little face, his eyes slightly cold, it seemed that he was feeling guilty.
The only sound in the car was the noise of metal music, and no one spoke anymore, which made the atmosphere in the back seat a little awkward for a moment.
Suddenly, a chill fell on one side of his face. Su He turned around and found that Sheng Jin had opened the car window on that side.
The vehicle drove across the river bridge and entered the city, slowing down. The fiery red parking lights were a bit dazzling, and noisy and chaotic sounds rushed in. Fortunately, the rain had subsided, and only fine raindrops as thin as needles drifted in through the car window with the wind.
This man didn't seem to be afraid of the interior being ruined, nor did he care that his expensive suit was soaked by water. He let the night wind mixed with raindrops hit him.
A lot of Sheng Jinyu's scent in the car drifted away with the wind, and Su He's motion sickness symptoms finally eased a little.
He caught a glimpse of Sheng Jin and saw that his right hand, which was resting on his knee, seemed to be trembling. He pressed his left hand hard on it, and the veins on the back of his hand were exerting force, as if he was trying to stop this physiological phenomenon from happening, but unfortunately it was of no avail.
Overusing the injured hand during the day has resulted in spasmodic pain, which is a warning signal from the body. However, looking at Sheng Jinyu's condition today, he is clearly resisting letting others discover that the injury will affect his normal movements.
Su He stared at the other person for a long time and sighed softly.
He just opened his mouth, and Sheng Jinyu didn't know how he accurately caught the sign that he was about to speak, but he domineeringly ordered him to shut up: "Shut up."
"Oh, okay." Su He said.
Soon, the Cayenne arrived at its destination, Jingshan, Xiaoxie Garden.
This villa area comes with an independently developed artificial lake, and the temperature is lower than that in the city center. The huge villa is lifeless, with only a few lights on.
After getting off the car, Sheng Jinyu was tall and had long legs and took big steps. Su He felt that if he walked a step slower, he would be locked outside the door and forced to sleep in the garden. He followed Sheng Jinyu into the house.
The smart home system turned on the lights in the living room one after another, and a mechanical sound appeared out of nowhere, scaring Su He.
"Master, you're back! It's 10:38 pm now, and there are still 22 minutes until the best rest time. Do you need me to prepare a midnight snack for you, Master? The bath water is ready in the bathroom. Take a bath before going to bed, dear..."
An intelligent AI that looked like a boiled egg slid across the carpet, following Sheng Jin and muttering incessantly.
As expected, Sheng Jinyu walked straight past it, his irritation fully reflected in his voice: "Get lost."
Then he went upstairs to the second-floor bedroom without looking back.
The AI slid down to its knees quite smoothly, and immediately stopped at the stairs, saying ingratiatingly, "Okay."
Su He, who was ignored the whole time, stood at the door without moving. He looked around the huge house and found that there seemed to be no servants or housekeepers here, unlike the Su residence where it was bustling with more servants than masters.
Su He was a little confused, so he could only look at the "boiled egg" with curiosity.
Boiled Egg detected Su He's presence and quickly came over. A cute jelly smiley face appeared on the display: "Hello, are you the young master's guest?"
The short and chubby AI looked very likable. Su He's bad mood temporarily disappeared and he greeted him enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is Su He, um... I should be his, life assistant?"
Boiled Egg reciprocated the gesture and began to introduce himself: "Hello, Su He, I am the home intelligent AI. My ancestral program codename is 'Hermes', but since the young master didn't give me a name, you can call me code, S037."
The height of the little robot only reaches Su He's waist, and it is white, chubby and very cute.
Su He squatted down to his level, raised his hand and touched S037's metal head, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what I need to do next?"
"Of course it's rest!" S037 said with absolute certainty.
It came closer, its expression turning gossipy: "Jinzai has such a bad temper, you don't have to worry about him. Just don't disturb him when he goes back to his room, otherwise he will get scolded like me!"
"Jin...zi?" Su He was a little surprised. After all, Sheng Jin looked like he wanted to eat someone, and he didn't seem like someone who would acknowledge such a name.
S037 blinked and said, "Secretly, this is the nickname that the young master's sister set for him in my program settings. Don't let him know, or I'll be sent back to the factory!"
Every sentence in S037 is followed by a terrified speculation, just like Su He himself is always worried that Sheng Jinyu will break his hands and feet. Now this worry is even greater. It seems that Sheng Jinyu is really a "tyrant" as described in the book!
Su He thought dejectedly, and nodded to indicate that he would keep the secret.
S037 was very kind-hearted. After shaking his short and fat body to help him familiarize himself with the layout of the villa, Su He asked S037 for a notebook and a pen, and took notes carefully in the notebook.
The original owner's body was fragile and sickly. His eyes seemed to have some congenital disease, and were extremely sensitive to the radiation from electronic products. He couldn't bear looking at them for too long.
Su He could only adopt the most primitive recording method. He recorded the locations of all the switches, big and small, in the entire villa, and the usage of some smart furniture.
After a round, Su He finally confirmed that there was indeed no servant here. It was as if he was on an isolated island, with absolutely no life at all.
Su He came to the main hall of the living room and passed by a display wall made up of trophies and badges of various sizes, which seemed to be Sheng Jinyu's achievements in the field of racing.
On the other side of the wall, there is probably one of the few items in the villa, the extremely eye-catching, built-in fish tank that is as tall as a person. The fish species in it are of a single type, but they look fierce.
Su He recognized it, it was a piranha.
Who would keep piranhas at home as ornamental fish?
The bright blue light of the water reflected on Su He's face, and he suddenly remembered what he had heard before. It was said that some people raised piranhas because they liked to watch the cruel and violent scenes when they hunted.
The person Su He is going to follow next is most likely such a cruel and cold-hearted person.
If you want to survive, you must not betray this person. There is still a glimmer of hope if you establish a good relationship with him!
The next morning, the sky was clear after being washed by rain, and the sun was shining brightly.
When Su He was sitting on the edge of the bed trying to wake up, he witnessed a sparrow flying into the glass window with a "bang".
He hurried over to check, but found that the dizzy little sparrow had flown away on its own.
When he walked into the living room, Su He was stunned for a moment.
The originally quiet and empty living room was now bustling with people. Sister Ling, the housekeeper, was standing in the front hall directing things, while the cleaning staff were cleaning and changing the water in the giant fish tank. The servants and chefs were each doing their own job, and a florist was taking care of the garden and landscape pool in front of the entrance.
Everyone seemed to have grown out of the earth out of thin air, working quietly.
S037 appeared from behind him and said in a low voice: "Su He, you're here! Jinzi hasn't woken up yet. Breakfast will be ready soon. Please sit down for a while."
Su He always remembered that he was not here as a guest, but he did not dare to sit here waiting for dinner. He quickly took out his little notebook and questioned the chef and servants one by one, even the gardener.
S037 became curious and wanted to ask Su He what he had been remembering since last night, but before he could ask, a guest suddenly arrived.
Several people wearing white coats and carrying medicine boxes walked in. The leader was smart and capable in a black suit. He stopped in front of Su He and said concisely, "Mr. Su, nice to meet you again. I am Fang Cheng, Mr. Sheng's assistant."
He moved sideways to let the person behind him pass: "This is Doctor Gu Ming, here to give the young master a regular physical examination and rehabilitation treatment."
After Su He greeted everyone one by one, he also briefly introduced himself.
Gu Ming looked at Su He curiously and felt that he looked familiar. The face in front of him was memorable enough.
S037 came up to him and complained, "The young master drank last night and is probably still drunk. Doctor Gu, go grab him and give him a good scolding!"
"Don't give me that."
Gu Ming flatly refused: "Who can stand Sheng Jinyu's bad temper when he wakes up? Besides, didn't I tell him not to touch the wine if he still wants to. Do you still want it?"
He kicked the ball to Assistant Fang: "Assistant Fang, go ahead. You're the one who knows this job best."
Assistant Fang was stunned for a moment, then pushed his silver-rimmed glasses, and a rare hint of resistance appeared on his cold face.
He looked down at S037 and said, "Go play some soothing music for the young master and wait for him to wake up slowly."
"Ah? Can I not go, wuwuwu..."
A crying face appeared on S037's electronic screen, pointing a finger in grievance: "Last time, I disturbed the young master's nap, and he took my cooling fan away. Now I'm so hot when I work for a while!"
A group of people fell silent at once. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally, you looked at Su He inexplicably, as if he was the savior who could break the deadlock and solve the problem.
Su He suddenly became the popular choice, or rather the cannon fodder.
