She discovered that the 24-hour surveillance had only started two days prior, close to the time after Li Lunkai's lab was destroyed.
This likely indicates that Chu Nian's silent burning of Chen Lunkai's laboratory attracted the attention of various covert forces. That's why the male protagonist began secretly monitoring the entire X City.
Geng Qiu and Zhang Chi felt that Chen Zhao was acting a bit strange today, and they both gave him odd looks. However, Geng Qiu still followed Chen Zhao's advice and asked Chu Nian warmly, "Little girl, are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
Chu Nian casually named a few dishes she liked, and Geng Qiu immediately ordered her a takeout meal.
That's the beauty of a city that never sleeps; even late at night, it remains bustling and lively, with many shops open 24 hours a day.
Chu Nian quickly began to enjoy the delicious food she had ordered.
Geng Qiu ordered quite a lot of food, after all, the three men also needed to eat.
Chen Zhao ate very little, only taking one bite of each dish with his chopsticks. It was more like tasting than eating! Then he put down his chopsticks, sat opposite Chu Nian, and started playing on his phone.
"Young Master Chen, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest!" Zhang Chi suggested. "We can take care of the rest."
Chen Zhao gave a faint "hmm," but remained seated without moving.
Seeing that Chu Nian had already wolfed down her food and devoured a large amount, Geng Qiu put down his chopsticks and bowl, and it seemed that he was full. He then smiled and said, "Little girl, why don't you sleep in the room next to mine? That room is still empty."
The apartment was quite large, with several rooms. Chen Zhao and his two companions each had a room, but there were still a few empty bedrooms. Chu Nian was about to agree when Chen Zhao calmly said, "The bedroom next to mine has good ventilation and natural light, you can stay in that one!"
Chu Nian was stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was talking to her.
Geng Qiu seemed to understand something, a look of realization flashing across his face, and he quickly said, "Oh, right, right, the room next to Young Master Chen's room has better ventilation and lighting, you should stay in that one! Stay in that one!"
He had barely finished speaking when he turned his head and found Zhang Chi staring at him with eyes as big as saucers, which startled him so much that his lips twitched violently. He turned his head away, pretending not to see Zhang Chi's frightening gaze.
Chu Nian asked with a smile, "May I wash up?"
“Great!” Geng Qiu said hurriedly, pointing to a door not far away, “That’s the restroom. We have hot water here 24 hours a day.”
Zhang Chi glared at Geng Qiu, not saying a word, but his gaze clearly said, "What do you mean by telling her 'this place'? Does that mean she'll have a share of this house in the future?"
Geng Qiu once again chose to ignore his gaze.
Chu Nian got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Chen Zhao, who had been engrossed in his phone without looking up, finally raised his head and gave Geng Qiu and Zhang Chi several meaningful glances.
Zhang Chi pretended not to see and got up to clear the dishes. Seeing this, Geng Qiu quickly got up to help.
Chen Zhao glared at their retreating figures as they hurried into the kitchen, somewhat annoyed. He put down his phone, got up, walked to the bathroom door, knocked twice on the closed door, and called out to Chu Nian inside, "There are new toiletries in the cabinet upstairs."
Chu Nian was taken aback: she knew where the toiletries were before she came in and hadn't thought to ask, but she didn't expect the male lead to be so thoughtful as to come and tell her.
She responded and continued washing up.
She stayed in the apartment that night. The next day, Geng Qiu went to various high schools to inquire, but none of them had a student missing who matched Chu Nian's description.
Three days later, Chu Nian was completely bewildered when three men shoved her into Jueming High School, the best high school in X City, to begin her student life as a freshman. The three men became her temporary guardians.
Jueming High School, why does that school sound so familiar? Chu Nian didn't think about it carefully, because her head was full of question marks.
She even received a new certificate, which showed her birth date, confirming that she was sixteen years old, just like her classmates.
It's worth mentioning that Chen Zhao and his two playmates are no ordinary people; they have both carried out special missions in foreign countries many times. It's not surprising that they were able to get new documents for Chu Nian.
What's strange is that none of you three ever questioned my identity? Didn't you ever think about why I moved into your apartment?
They couldn't possibly have overlooked this. But why didn't they ask and just gave her a fake identity? What exactly did they mean by that?
Furthermore, even without asking any questions, these people should be able to find out what kind of person Yi Nian is. Although she is an energy being parachuted into this world and the original owner's identity is fake, the original owner's ability as an energy being is to use brainwaves to infiltrate various computers and modify the files inside.
Therefore, Yi Nian and Ai Wen's identities are fake, but no one will discover that there is a problem.
Yi Nian's original ID card showed that she was 22 years old. Because she skipped grades in school, she graduated from university at the age of 18. So although she was not old, she had a lot of work experience.
Chen Zhao and his team couldn't possibly have failed to find this information, yet they had someone forge a new identity for Chu Nian: a sixteen-year-old newly enrolled high school student.
Chu Nian suspected they had ulterior motives.
However, she herself walked into the apartment complex where Chen Zhao lived, and she herself lied that she had amnesia and did not know her own identity. Now she can only be forced to become a high school student. Why does it feel like she walked into a trap?
After returning from school registration, Chu Nian pretended to close her room door to pack her stationery, only to hear Zhang Chi and Geng Qiu chatting in the living room.
Zhang Chi: "Geng Qiu, don't you think Chen Shao's actions these past few days have been a bit strange?"
Geng Qiu: "Of course it's strange."
Zhang Chi: "Judging from your tone, it's really strange that Young Master Chen isn't surprised."
Geng Qiu: "That's right!"
Zhang Chi: "What exactly do you mean?"
Geng Qiu said helplessly, "You still haven't figured it out by now, have you!"
Zhang Chi asked curiously, "What did you see?"
Geng Qiu: "Think back carefully, a few days ago, the day I brought Yi Nian into our apartment..."
Zhang Chi: "What happened that day?"
Geng Qiu: "That morning, Chen Shao saw Yi Nian strolling on the street through the surveillance footage, and his eyes lit up. Didn't you notice how excited and thrilled he was?"
Zhang Chi was silent for a moment before asking, "What do you mean?"
Geng Qiu: "Don't you understand? With Yi Nian's figure and looks, it's not surprising that Young Master Chen would be interested in her!"
Zhang Chi: "How is that possible? Hasn't he always disliked women who are always around him?"
Geng Qiu: "Because those women weren't what he liked. But this Yi Nian, I guarantee, Young Master Chen has fallen head over heels in love!"
Zhang Chi said with some concern, "But I don't think Yi Nian has lost her memory at all."
