Geng Qiu: "That's not important."
Zhang Chi: "I'm worried that she might harm Young Master Chen."
Geng Qiu: "Stop worrying about useless things. Young Master Chen isn't a pushover."
Zhang Chi let out a long sigh.
Geng Qiu asked curiously, "Why are you sighing?"
Zhang Chi: "I think that Yi Nian is not simple at all. She is definitely not the kind of person that our Young Master Chen can easily subdue."
Geng Qiu: "That's not our concern. We just need to focus on completing the tasks assigned by Young Master Chen, and not worry about anything else."
Zhang Chi: "What if she hurts Young Master Chen? I just want to find out what her purpose is in getting close to Young Master Chen." He lowered his voice even more as he spoke, "I secretly checked Yi Nian's information and found that I couldn't find anything about her. It's as if she doesn't exist at all."
Geng Qiu was surprised: "Really?"
Not only was Geng Qiu surprised when he heard the news, but even Chu Nian was extremely surprised.
Country S has a very comprehensive household registration system. From the moment a child is born, even their fingerprints and iris scans are entered into the national database. Yi Nian's information in Country S's population file is also very complete; she has everything she needs. After all, she created the file herself, so how could she possibly leave any hidden dangers?
How could it be that no information was found at all?
Zhang Chi added, "My current concern is that she might be a foreign spy."
Geng Qiu said seriously, "If it were a foreign spy, you would have found very comprehensive information."
Zhang Chi thought about it and agreed, saying, "Yes! But we haven't found any information at all. This is really strange!" He was exceptionally skilled in this area, yet he hadn't found anything. Could it be...?
The door opened, and Chen Zhao walked in, carrying some fresh fruit. Chu Nian was pleased to find that they were all her favorites, and her appreciation for Chen Zhao as the male lead grew.
However, not knowing what the male lead was planning by keeping her by his side without asking any questions, she decided to be somewhat cautious: she suspected that the male lead had secretly deleted Yi Nian's information.
"Young Master Chen, what are you carrying?" Geng Qiu asked in surprise, feeling like he had discovered something amazing today: Young Master Chen actually buys fruit.
Chen Zhao said, "Can't you tell? It's fruit."
Zhang Chi said, "That's great! I've been feeling a bit feverish these past couple of days, so having some fruit is perfect..."
Chen Zhao: "It's not for you."
Zhang Chi was immediately short of breath.
Chen Zhao: "Wash the fruit and put it in a fruit bowl on the coffee table in the living room."
Geng Qiu: "Are there any guests coming?"
He knew perfectly well who the fruit was for, yet he still asked deliberately. He then noticed Chen Zhao giving him a cool glance, and he quickly shut his mouth, feeling a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
Zhang Chi had already taken the fruit and taken it to the kitchen to wash it.
Chu Nian casually flipped through her textbook and finished her homework in less than an hour. The first-year high school curriculum was relatively easier than the second and third years, consisting of only one evening self-study session, ending around seven o'clock. Chu Nian finished her homework around eight o'clock, opened the door, picked up the fruit platter from the table, and went back to her room.
Geng Qiu, who was reaching for a sweet apricot: ...
Chen Zhao glanced up and watched Chu Nian return to her room, only lowering his head after she closed the door, a smile flashing across his face. He continued to pretend to play on his phone, unaware that Geng Qiu and Zhang Chi were exchanging winks and glances.
Around ten o'clock, Chu Nian finished washing up and was about to continue her early-to-bed, early-to-rise health plan when suddenly there was a loud knocking on the door. At the same time, there was a very inconsiderate guy who didn't realize it was so late and that some people who were used to going to bed early had already gone to bed. He was yelling at the top of his lungs, "You old bastard, I'm here! Open the door right now! Don't think that just because you ran away here I won't be able to find you."
The man's voice sounded extremely familiar to Chu Nian, as if not long ago, a strange-tempered guy had spoken to her in that same voice with an extremely sinister tone.
Lou Qianzong!
Chu Nian sat bolt upright, instantly wide awake: she had long felt that Lou Qianzong was strange in every way, looking every bit like a character who had traveled back to the Republican era. Wasn't this world just a time machine?
Although it is still in the experimental stage and only AI can ride the time machine, "traveling" to the Republic of China era has become possible.
Furthermore, since it's a time machine, it might break down not only the barriers of time but also the barriers of space. The Republic of China era where Lou Qianzong existed might not be the same space as this world; they might even be in different regions in both time and space.
As Chu Nian figured all this out, she began to worry about whether Lou Qianzong would be able to find her. Also, what was the chronological order between the current Lou Qianzong and the Lou Qianzong she encountered in the previous world?
Can it be determined by strength? What if Lou Qianzong concealed his strength when he traveled through time using the time machine? Just like Chu Nian's strength was limited in many worlds.
It seems that in this world of books, there are many questions that she needs to face, explore, and even find answers to.
Just as she was having a headache, Chen Zhao came out of his room and quickly went to open the door.
Zhang Chi had immediately become alert upon hearing the shouts outside, even drawing his gun, but seeing Chen Zhao hurriedly go to open the door, he asked, "Young Master Chen, who is it? Do you know them?"
Chen Zhao looked anxious and worried, but simply gave a faint "hmm" and reached out to open the living room door.
Zhang Chi and Geng Qiu, who were already on high alert and ready for battle, took a big step back in fright when they saw the person outside suddenly exclaim "Ah!"
“He...he...he…” Geng Qiu was too scared to speak, his face pale, as he pointed at the guy at the door whose neck and legs were broken.
"Could you please stop dressing up like this so late at night and scaring people?" Chen Zhao said as he helped the person at the door into the room.
Chen Zhao and Lou Qianzong seem to know each other very well! Although Chu Nian's combat power is greatly limited in this energy body, her detection ability is enhanced by the energy body's own capabilities, making it stronger than in other bodies, so she can clearly see the situation outside.
Thinking of everything from the previous world, Chu Nian wondered: Chen Zhao's surname is Chen, could it be related to Chen Baiteng, which is why he is familiar with Lou Qianzong?
Lou Qianzong's neck and legs were broken, and he was covered in blood. His face was a bloody mess. Geng Qiu and Zhang Chi had no investigative abilities and could only rely on their eyes. In addition, because Lou Qianzong's neck was broken, his head was drooping to a very strange degree. Therefore, the two of them did not notice that one of Lou Qianzong's eyeballs had fallen out and was hanging outside the eye socket.
He wasn't faking it; he was genuinely that badly injured.
