Du Muchen cautiously looked in the direction of the light and saw a furtive figure quickly turn a corner and leave.
With a furrowed brow, Du Muchen took out his phone and made a call to Chen Bin.
"Where are you? Come to the hospital, I'm being followed and photographed."
Half an hour later
Chen Bin and his group grabbed a young woman and led her to the door of the ward.
Chen Bin looked into the ward and saw Du Muchen sitting on the sofa playing games, while Su Peishan on the bed seemed to be fast asleep.
He knocked softly on the door twice, and Du Muchen's gaze first fell on the bed.
Seeing that Su Peishan hadn't been woken up, he got up and left the ward.
Upon reaching the door, Du Muchen glanced at the young girl who had been arrested in front of him.
The other person was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, a black baseball cap, and had short hair; he looked ordinary.
Under Du Muchen's scrutiny, the girl appeared very nervous, lowering her eyes, biting her lip tightly, and remaining silent.
Why are you following me?
The girl shrank back slightly, glancing at Du Muchen with a hint of fear.
"I...I'm your fan. I've liked you for many years. I really saw you at the hospital by chance this time. I got so emotional that I couldn't help but take a picture of you. Brother Chen, I really didn't mean anything by it."
Du Muchen turned his head to look at Chen Bin.
"We have already checked her name and home address. Chen Yanyan, 19 years old, is a student majoring in civil engineering at Beijing University of Technology. She is not a reporter, but her older sister is a graduate of Beijing University of Media and Communications and is a reporter under Orange Video."
“That’s my cousin. We don’t get along. I would never have filmed a video for her.”
Du Muchen curled his lips and glanced at the other person with a half-smile.
"Are you my fan?"
"Yes, Brother Chen, I am really your fan."
"When is my birthday? What's my favorite color? What TV dramas have I filmed? What are my recent schedules? Do you know all of that?"
A look of panic flashed across Chen Yanyan's face.
"I...I know you're born on June 18th, and you like...you like black, so I took the picture..."
The girl stammered out three of Du Muchen's more well-known movies, but knew nothing about his other TV series or recent schedule.
"Since you're a fan, shouldn't you know the most basic things? Have you joined a fan club? Do you help your idol boost their ranking every day? Or anything else related to your idol?" Chen Bin questioned in succession.
Being caught on the spot had already thrown the young girl into a panic. Now, under intense questioning, Chen Yanyan trembled with nervousness, stammering and unable to utter a coherent sentence.
Du Muchen scoffed coldly, his bright and handsome face instantly turning gloomy and deep.
"Little girl, if you don't tell the truth, I'll take you to the police."
"Oh no, please don't! I don't want to go to the police station!" The girl was terrified and immediately stopped lying.
She choked up as she told the truth.
“My cousin works at Orange Video. I heard from her that as long as you can get the latest breaking news, you can get a reward of 50,000 yuan. I just finished my IV drip at the hospital and accidentally saw you bringing a pretty lady to the hospital. I suddenly remembered what my cousin said and couldn’t help but take a picture.”
"Have you finished talking?"
"No, really no. I was just momentarily bewitched. Please, Brother Chen, forgive me this time."
"Take out your phone."
The girl cautiously covered her crossbody bag.
Du Muchen scoffed, "You don't have to show it. I think your school leaders are probably also interested in your act of secretly taking pictures."
"No, please don't tell our school, I'll show you, sob sob..." Chen Yanyan choked as she took her phone out of her bag and obediently handed it to Du Muchen.
Du Muchen took out his phone and looked through it for a while. Indeed, the girl's phone album contained several photos of him holding Su Peishan.
After deleting those photos, Du Muchen stared at the girl in deep thought for a while.
"What Xigua Video is your cousin on?"
"Brother Chen, it's Orange... Orange Video."
"That sounds familiar." Du Muchen curled his thin lips, a calculating glint in his eyes.
Chen Yanyan felt extremely uncomfortable under Du Muchen's gaze.
I always feel like I'm being watched by a cunning fox.

Gu Jueye and Feng Yi are currently in the laboratory.
"How is this blood sample?"
“Analysis of blood stem cells shows that Liu Fuyong’s blood has a much greater replication capacity than that of normal people, but from the perspective of the original embryonic genes in his blood, there is no difference from that of normal people. The greater change comes from the self-renewal of adult stem cells.”
Feng Yi raised his little hand: "Um... I don't understand the technical terms. Could you give me an example?"
Gu Jueye gently adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with one hand, and looked calmly at Feng Yi.
"He was originally an ordinary person, but later underwent genetic recombination."
"What? Genetic recombination? What does that mean?"
"Liu Fuyong had previously suffered from liver cancer, and the hospital had given him a death sentence. However, he miraculously recovered his health later on, which should be attributed to gene recombination."
Feng Yi stroked his chin and pondered for a while.
"In other words, Liu Fuyong was originally an ordinary person, but by chance he met Yin Chi, and Yin Chi helped him with gene recombination, so he transformed from an ordinary person into a superhuman?"
"That's roughly it. That explains why Liu Fuyong is so loyal to Yin Chi."
