Chapter 97
After the little cousin withdrew her gaze, she looked at her second cousin who was still working hard on the side, and once again sighed that this was what a rich person was. No wonder her second cousin could manage so many assets and not forget to deal with work even when he went on vacation.
These documents and emails gave the little cousin a headache just by looking at them, but her second cousin was extremely at ease and was so focused on his work that he didn't even look up at the three men.
The little cousin looked at the three men, some of whom were shirtless or whose shirts were soaked through. In addition to admiration for their figures, her eyes also showed a little sympathy.
...What's the point of trying so hard to seduce someone? The person you're seducing won't even look at you.
Ye Wangxing, who seemed to be at ease in the eyes of his little cousin, was howling at Yijiu in the system space like a puppy whose tail was stepped on.
[…19. My eyes are dirty, they’re dirty, wow wow wow, what did I see? Why didn’t the mission mention the fate line? It’s possible to set a trap in this way!]
Ye Wangxing wailed as he spoke. His originally neat black hair was now a little messy, his clothes became wrinkled, and his face was flushed from rolling around on the sofa.
Yijiu sat aside, watching his host not roll off the sofa, and started calculating again with his own CPU.
[Host, the situation revealed by the fate line has actually been concealed, such as Su Qing's family situation in the first world and An Yang's family situation in the second mission.]
Yijiu used a calm tone to persuade his host that these were normal things.
...But his rapid addition and deletion of character simulation models made his words less credible.
I know they don't usually depict family situations. After all, it's the two main characters who are emotionally entangled. Most of the time, even if the family members appear, they're basically just supporting characters, and the emotional relationship between them and the main character isn't explored in depth—especially when the main character has such a relationship with his parents.
As Ye Wangxing was speaking, he sat up, with a look of despair still on his face. He simply followed his muscle memory to find Yijiu's arm and pulled it up, then hung himself on Yijiu.
Seek comfort, these words are almost written on his forehead.
But I still suffered a mental shock. I've experienced this before, but I never imagined it would be this horrific. My dad must have had a tough time. He even had to visit people and listen to their complaints! When I get home, I'm definitely going to get him a big gold chain with a large Buddha amulet hanging from it so he can show off.
Ye Wangxing continued to wail, not thinking there was anything wrong with the way he looked.
He and Yijiu have been together for several years. He was a little reserved at first, but later he got used to it. Besides, Yijiu never said anything, which meant that this matter was within the range they could accept.
And he really needs some physical comfort. In the whole world, only Yijiu knows his past, future, and goals.
To some extent, Yijiu is his family, his only relative in this world.
Yijiu always says that he is a good host and has completed the mission very well, but doesn’t he also think that Yijiu is very good?
Although many people in the mission world are nice, their situations make it impossible for them to become close friends, which really makes Ye Wangxing feel very lonely.
But the most important thing is that Yijiu is a really good system. Even the combat system will not look down on its host because of these tasks. It just helps him as much as possible and does not restrict his behavior.
Ye Wangxing didn't know what he would do if he encountered a system that restricted his own autonomous behavior in every way, admonished a host who did not conform to his wishes, or even forcibly punished him just to complete the task.
"...If that were the case, I wouldn't be as mentally healthy as I am now."
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing subconsciously ignored the fact that Yijiu was actually a silicon-based creature and his brain circuits were different from those of ordinary people. He once again hugged Yijiu's arms tightly.
However, Ye Wangxing, who had forgotten this point, was still muttering.
[…Even though this job pays well, it's already considered mental pollution. When we return to the office, can we ask the system company for mental compensation? This is too torturous—even a small increase in attention points will do!]
As he spoke, Ye Wangxing looked up at Yijiu with a pleading look on his face. Yijiu, who had already established a personality model, had not yet recovered from the shock of the logic of this personality model when he heard the words of his host.
[This world's hidden plot does have some issues. I've already reported it to Yiqi. Whether it will attract more attention depends on Yiqi.]
Ye Wangxing cheered first and praised Yijiu's reliability again. Then, as if he had finally found his bones, he finally let go of Yijiu's arm and began to study the next task.
While studying him, he also said to Yijiu with relief.
[Luckily, my current role is mostly supporting or cannon fodder. I can't imagine if I were a heavily featured supporting character or even the main character, and were faced with such a fate, would I just quit?]
Ye Wangxing muttered to himself, his hands constantly checking the tasks and fate lines.
He already knew what the fourth mission was. He now had to guard against Song Yun being brainwashed by the two families' parents. Fortunately, the Song family's fighting power was not strong, but the Shi family...
When Ye Wangxing thought of the brainwashing process of Shi Xuanzhu by Shi's parents and his current situation, he shuddered instantly - and then added the matter of preventing Shi's parents from getting close to Song Yun to the key tasks column.
He didn't notice that Yijiu beside him was silent.
"...That's because you, the host, are a newcomer."
Yijiu thought about it, but didn't say it out loud in the end. He just silently included the next world using his modeling as a key point.
"If something unexpected happens, it would be much better to have some comfort in reality."
The silver-haired man checked his host's emotional sensor, a stream of data flashing in his eyes.
"——It also allows the host to sleep well."
While Ye Wangxing was checking the tasks in his mind and looking at the report in reality and handing it to Yijiu for summary, another figure appeared on the beach nearby.
Lin Xiao was lounging on a beach chair, leisurely interacting with fans and the camera. She had chosen a stunning location with a backdrop of the azure ocean and pristine white sand. She sipped coconut water while chatting with fans about the latest gossip.
"Family members, today I'm taking you to visit the vacation life in a five-star hotel. This beach is a private beach and there's no need to crowd with people! - Thank you all for the tips from the sponsors." Lin Xiao blinked at the camera with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and then said with a smile.
As Lin Xiao moved, her live camera also captured several people lying on lounge chairs at the other end of the beach.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then adjusted the camera, fearing that he would be sued for allowing an unrelated passerby to enter the country.
However, when she saw the faces of those people clearly, her eyes widened instantly.
"Woc! Isn't this Mr. Widow?!"
Lin Xiao exclaimed in disbelief, then immediately adjusted the camera to position his large face in front of the entire live broadcast room, not even caring about the fact that this would cause his face to become deformed.
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, many fans who were originally complaining in the live broadcast room immediately started to flood the screen with barrages of comments.
"Is that the widow I was thinking of?"
"I was just recording the screen. I went back to watch it. Although I'm not sure about the black hair, there's no way we can mistake the three men around him. I've never heard of anyone else with red hair, gold hair, and white hair! And that guy seems to have his brother with him!"
"That's definitely him, but didn't Shi Xuanzhu say in the live broadcast that there were no conflicts in their family? How come his brother and his wife are running to the beach now?"
The audience was suddenly excited, while other fans who didn't know who Ye Wangxing was asked on the public screen with confusion, who that person was.
Naturally, the commentators were also very enthusiastic in popularizing Ye Wangxing's great achievements - not to mention this shocking piece of news, they definitely wanted everyone to experience the shock they felt back then!
Lin Xiao, the host, who was listening to the comments, turned the camera towards himself, then excitedly took out a small mirror and began to observe his back.
——Although she didn't take any photos, she was staring at people directly. Lin Xiao wasn't that arrogant.
Besides, it’s exciting to secretly listen to gossip.
Even the melon you eat will be more delicious.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at the small mirror with shining eyes, watching the interaction between the people inside.
The only pity is that I can't hear any sound and can only guess the situation from their body movements.
Of course, Lin Xiao did not forget his beloved family.
Whether she can get more rewards today depends on whether she can explain this matter clearly.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao blinked at the daily disposable medicine worth hundreds of yuan he brought today, and once again felt fortunate for his dedication to his work.
——She already had a hunch that this piece of gossip would definitely be posted online by marketing accounts to attract traffic.
"This daily contact lens is worth wearing today!"
Lin Xiao thought about it while switching back and forth between the small mirror and the live broadcast room, while thanking the audience who were doing science popularization in the live broadcast room.
"Thank you for your understanding, everyone. Now I'm going to tell you the story I just wrote. Of course, all of this is just fabricated, so don't take it seriously."
Lin Xiao skillfully circumvented the law. After saying the disclaimer, he immediately looked in the small mirror and began to speak in an excited tone.
"...Mr. Widow is looking at his notebook. Is this one of the reasons why he's rich and I'm not? He's working hard even on vacation, but it seems someone's interrupting him. ——Wait, Red Hair's gone!"
Lin Xiao looked at the red-haired man over there. He was shirtless with a chain hanging around his neck. In the middle of the chain was a sign commonly known as a dog tag, dangling between his pectoral muscles.
Her whole body exudes a strong scent of hormones.
The red-haired man even had a playful smile on his face, which was quite charming.
With such charm that seemed to seduce people away, he walked up to the black-haired young man sitting on the beach chair and said something to him.
After the young man waved his hand perfunctorily, he grabbed the other person's wrist, then his fingers climbed upwards and interlocked their fingers. Then the red-haired man sat directly on the beach, bent one leg, supported his arm on this leg, and looked at the young man with his chin in his hand.
"If you don't accompany me, then I will have to stay by your side~"
When the red-haired man opened his mouth, although no sound could be heard, Lin Xiao inexplicably imagined his rippling tone and the words he said through his mouth shapes. However, judging from the helpless look on the black-haired young man's face and his subsequent use of his right hand to check the computer, her guess should be correct.
When Lin Xiao described the scene she saw and told it in the form of a made-up story, the live broadcast room was already flooded with exclamations of "ahhh".
"——Wow, are all rich people like this? From the description, it really looks like a big dog!"
"Those people are mostly being flattered by others, but this guy is different. He flatters others, but whether it's his figure, appearance, or even his methods, he's much better than those people!"
"Woo woo woo, big red dog, is there anyone else? Where's the golden and white fur?"
Lin Xiao also saw the barrage and quickly spoke.
"The family is making it up! It's almost done! They've already made it up until those two see what's happening and come over."
Just as Lin Xiao was speaking, the blond man and the silver-haired man who were playing beach volleyball in the distance to show off their beautiful bodies looked at each other, and directly threw the volleyball that they had just trampled at the red-haired man.
"Bang--!"
The red-haired man blocked the volleyball accurately, and the smile on his face was a little faltering, while the two people over there had just the reason to run over.
Both of them had an apologetic smile on their faces. Even the youngest silver-haired man ran directly to the black-haired young man, looked at him with a wronged look, and stepped forward to hold the young man's right hand, inadvertently letting the young man's right hand touch his heart.
The red-haired man was unhappy about this, and Lin Xiao saw the blue veins on his forehead.
The blond man did not just stand there and watch. While the red-haired man and the silver-haired man were arguing, he quietly walked behind the beach chair, then lowered his head and put his arms around the young man's shoulders. He saw the young man's plan. As a partner, he was naturally qualified to speak on the plan.
This action naturally angered the other two men, and now all three men started arguing. Just by looking at Lin Xiao, he could feel the tension over there.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room has started to flood the screen like crazy, and all kinds of gifts are being sent non-stop.
"No, is this the life of rich people?"
"No, sometimes even rich people can't live such a good life."
"Oh my god! I can't imagine how Mr. Widow is going to escape from a spider hole like this."
"If I can't escape, I'll turn into a strawberry guava..."
The barrage of comments was busy, but Lin Xiao saw through the small mirror that the black-haired young man did not stay in this vortex for too long. Even his expression was calm, as if he was used to this scene. He simply shook off the hands of the two people next to him, then stood up and walked away from the blond man.
Before the three men followed, he stood up and walked to the other black-haired man.
The two men are slightly similar, but their facial features are extremely different in style, proving their blood relationship.
"——Yes, he's a man. He feels short of breath in front of his brother-in-law who has a good relationship with his partner."
"Mr. Widow is really smart. He deserves to be the Mr. Widow that the whole internet is asking for tutorials."
"They still have the strength, okay? If they can't even protect the inheritance, do you think those people will still pursue Mr. Widow like they do now?"
"...I'm not saying they have no feelings for Mr. Widow anymore, but because of the inheritance in his hands, Mr. Widow has the possibility to talk to them on an equal footing and not become their forbidden food."
When Lin Xiao saw the last comment, he couldn't help but nodded, his eyes shining as he prepared to continue his career.
However, when she turned her head to look at the small mirror again, she happened to meet the gazes of several bodyguards.
——That was a look so righteous that it made Lin Xiao feel guilty instantly.
Lin Xiao, who had originally planned to make more money: "..."
She ignored the fans' wailing, closed the live broadcast room directly, and then ran away immediately with her things. Fortunately, those fans did not make things difficult for her, a small anchor.
She left safely with her money.
Song Yun didn't notice this little episode. He was still looking at Ye Wangxing, who walked calmly towards him and directly resolved the dispute between the three men. His eyes were full of admiration.
"You two have a pretty good relationship. Even with your relationship, you didn't even fight."
In fact, Song Yun wanted to say that he had great skills, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was something wrong with describing her own brother like this, so Song Yun did not say it.
However, what Song Yun didn't expect was that Ye Wangxing didn't nod or shake his head, he just sneered and said.
"I've fought abroad a long time ago. Now I can stay here safely, thanks to the country's laws and Kaiser."
Song Yun was startled at first, but thinking about the atmosphere of that free country, she could understand it. But why thank Kaiser when he died? Could it be that everyone became happy after Kaiser's death?
The handsome young man gave an unexpected answer.
"...It's because the recent haunting incident in Kaiser has attracted their attention."
When Song Yun heard this, she subconsciously looked up in the direction of the presidential suite.
That baggy shirt is still hanging in the utility room.
"…Because they don't believe in ghosts?"
Song Yun didn't believe it at first, but the clothes really floated up in front of him. After checking, Song Yun could guarantee that there were absolutely no mechanical parts on it.
"It's similar to some extent, but they just don't believe that Kaiser is just a ghost after his death."
The handsome young man spoke calmly, watching without blinking as the three men asked their bodyguards to make the volleyball net into a V shape and started playing three-person beach volleyball on the beach.
——Although judging from their strength, it is hard not to suspect that they want to smash the other party's head directly.
Before Song Yun could ask her question, the handsome young man threw out a sentence that was as explosive as a bomb.
"He didn't even come to their house in the middle of the night and strangle them one by one, but instead came over to play some shirt game with me. That's definitely not his style."
Having said this, the handsome young man paused and added a sentence.
"Of course, there are several high-ranking officials in free countries who are still alive and well, which can be considered as evidence."
Song Yun stared blankly at the handsome young man in front of her, not knowing how to react for a moment.
What high-ranking official? Why does the fact that the high-ranking official is alive prove that Kaiser is still alive?
However, Song Yun could understand the first half of the sentence - after all, Ye Wangxing personally admitted that he had physical relationships with those people. It would be strange if his brother-in-law didn't get angry.
——Although these relationships only occurred after his death, if his brother agreed to those things because his brother-in-law died, the effect would be a bit too hellish.
Song Yun was stunned for a long time before she spoke slowly.
“Why is the survival of a high-ranking government official considered part of the evidence?”
"That's not something you can know, brother," the handsome young man said, raising his eyebrows. "But you can guess why I want to move all my business to China?"
Song Yun: “…”
He felt there was a big pit ahead.
Song Yun immediately changed the subject and stopped exploring.
"So what are you going to do next? Have you confirmed that Kaiser is not dead? If he is not dead, he should be in the country now given the current situation."
Song Yun was a little nervous. After all, from the information she received, her brother-in-law was definitely not a good person.
And although the shirt incident seemed interesting, if you think about it carefully, if Kaiser hadn't died, then what he had done...
Doesn't this prove that he is monitoring Ye Wangxing 24 hours a day?
Thinking of this, Song Yun was shocked at first, and then he began to worry about his brother's personal safety.
"The three of them will track him down, but there are few clues right now, and I can't find anything. There's also the possibility that the mercenaries Kaiser hired just left him alone after taking the money. That's not impossible."
The handsome young man shrugged and said, "You know, the credit of international mercenaries is sometimes close to zero."
Song Yun: “…”
No, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know why a good citizen like him should know the credit of an international mercenary!
However, the situation was urgent, and Song Yun could hear it, and he couldn't help but get nervous. Just when he was about to discuss with Ye Wangxing how to deal with his brother-in-law, Ye Wangxing's phone suddenly rang.
Song Yun was a little surprised at first, but after Ye Wangxing answered the phone, Song Yun heard the voice of the director of "Who's Sincerity" on the phone.
"Mr. Ye, I heard you've been on vacation on the island for over half a month. We've decided to hold the guest selection ceremony near you. You might have to sacrifice some of your vacation time to participate in the live broadcast."
The director's words were very polite, but unfortunately...
Song Yun sighed and thought.
The timing is not right. My younger brother is busy investigating his brother-in-law's affairs. How could he have time to attend such a trivial ceremony?
A week later.
Looking at the handsome young man sitting with the red-haired man, Song Yun's eyes were full of disbelief.
Then he heard a familiar voice.
"Ayun, what happened?"
Song Yun, who saw Shi Xuanzhu, said: "...yue!"
The veteran actor's wife next to him said something subconsciously.
"Xiao Song is... pregnant?"
