At this time, Chen Zhao was still seen by outsiders as a notorious playboy in the capital, but he was secretly making extensive preparations for seizing power and controlled a huge amount of influence both domestically and internationally.
He is an anomaly in this world, a true ruler who secretly controls the world's affairs. Very few people can understand all his abilities and power. Even Geng Qiu and Zhang Chi, who have been around him since childhood, probably only know a part of him, like blind men touching an elephant.
Chu Nian started to stagger towards Chen Zhao's apartment, but as soon as she entered the complex, two drunk men came towards her and blocked her way.
Yi Nian is an artificial intelligence. Her appearance is a composite of many facial features selected by the computer. Her features are selected from the most beautiful and charming parts of the facial features. When combined, her appearance is so stunning that it can captivate the world.
It's not surprising that a drunkard would target Chu Nian. Chu Nian is used to this kind of thing, especially since it's late at night, which is not a safe time for young women.
She was thinking of using her ability to interfere with brainwaves to make the two drunkards turn around and leave on their own, but before she could even do it, she heard someone shout: "Hey, you two, what do you want?"
As they were talking, the other person emerged from the shadows not far away and stood between Chu Nian and the two drunkards.
Chu Nian recognized this person as one of the other two people in Chen Zhao's apartment, but she didn't know if it was Geng Qiu or Zhang Chi.
Both drunkards were completely intoxicated. Seeing that the other party was only one man, they were not afraid at all. One of them shouted, "Mind your own business!" and reached out to push the man away.
Unexpectedly, this man was a skilled fighter; with just a couple of moves, he knocked the two drunkards down.
The man straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, turned around and smiled at Chu Nian, "Little girl, why are you wandering around outside alone so late?"
Yi Nian was designed to appear to be twenty-two or twenty-three years old. However, after Chu Nian transmigrated, she used her mental power to repair this energy body in order to eliminate the discomfort in her body as soon as possible.
Because this was the first time he had transmigrated into this body, he used his mental power to repair it a little too much, causing the energy body to look younger than before, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
The other person calling her "little girl" was indeed correct.
Then the other person said, "Which building do you live in? I'll give you a ride."
Chu Nian didn't live in this neighborhood. After thinking for a moment, she could only say, "I... have nowhere to go."
"Nowhere to go?" the other person asked in surprise. "Don't you live in X City? Not in this neighborhood?"
Chu Nian paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know either. I... I only remember that my name is Yi Nian, and I don't remember anything else."
The other party was even more surprised: "You don't remember? Amnesia?" They looked Chu Nian up and down.
Chu Nian continued, "I've actually been walking for... for quite a while now. I... I don't know how I ended up on the street, or where I'm going. I... I..." Her eyes reddened, and she cried, "I don't know what's wrong with me. How could I forget where I'm going? Waaah..."
"Don't cry, don't cry. If you don't know where you live, then... then stay with us for the night!" After saying that, the other person led Chu Nian into Chen Zhao's apartment.
.
"How could you just bring a girl of unknown origin into your home?"
"She said she had amnesia and remembered nothing except that her name was Yi Nian. I don't know where to send her..."
"Take her to the police station! Don't you know you should call the police in this kind of situation? Besides, does she really have amnesia just because she says she has amnesia?"
What do you mean by that?
Stop pretending you're not smart!
...
The two handsome young men, both in their late twenties, had been arguing about Chu Nian's situation for a quarter of an hour. Now Chu Nian knew that the one who brought her back was Geng Qiu, and the one who opposed Geng Qiu bringing her back was Zhang Chi.
Although Chen Zhao is not yet president, he is the nephew of the current president. The Chen family is a powerful and influential clan in S country, having stood for a thousand years. Chen Zhao is the most handsome of his generation, the dream lover of countless young women.
Zhang Chi was probably guessing that the girl who claimed to have amnesia was deliberately saying this to get closer to Chen Zhao so that Geng Qiu would bring her back, allowing her to take advantage of the situation.
Chen Zhao has always disliked the chattering women around him, which makes Zhang Chi always wear a "keep away" expression.
During this short period of time, the male protagonist, Chen Zhao, kept his eyes on his two playmates and subordinates, occasionally stealing a glance at Chu Nian.
His two companions argued for a while before realizing something was wrong. Why was their leader staring at them? Could it be that their leader had given them instructions?
"Young Master Chen, what do you think?" Geng Qiu stopped arguing with Zhang Chi first and turned to ask.
Chen Zhao seemed to have been lost in thought, but was suddenly brought back to his senses. He paused for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Oh, I... I think what you all said makes sense. But I think a girl her age should... should be in school, not wandering around on the streets."
"Yes, that's right." Geng Qiu quickly agreed, "Or I could go to various high schools tomorrow and ask around to see which school she goes to?"
Chen Zhao: "Okay."
Zhang Chi was stunned: "..." You really think that everything we said makes sense?
Chen Zhao added, "Didn't you even ask if the young lady was hungry after walking around outside all day?"
A whole day? Chu Nian's heart skipped a beat: How did you know I'd been walking all day? I think I just told Geng Qiu that I'd been walking for most of the day! So, you've been watching me ever since I went for a stroll this morning?
Chu Nian had only used her mental power to search for Chen Zhao, and after discovering that he was here, she didn't explore the details of the apartment building in detail, since she didn't have a hobby of prying into other people's privacy.
However, she was secretly releasing her mental energy to explore the entire apartment, inside and out, and discovered that there was a secret room that led to another apartment next door.
That apartment has surveillance cameras; they monitor the entire city of X.
When did this surveillance begin? She didn't recall the book mentioning it at all!
However, having traveled through so many worlds, many of which had hidden storylines and unclear plots, she was only slightly surprised and didn't dwell on it too much.
It could be a hidden plot point: the male protagonist comes to City X ostensibly for recuperation, but actually has another mission.
However, Chu Nian took advantage of the special nature of the original owner's body and used brainwaves to hack into those monitoring computers.
