Ling Chen also logged out of the game and began dealing with the emails sent by his assistant.
In the lower right corner of the computer screen, an inconspicuous piece of encryption software popped up a short message from his private intelligence team.
"President Ling, after verification, the ID user of Qingchengyue is Liu Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Liu Group."
"She posted a message on the forum publicly pursuing you. Should we take further action?"
Ling Chen glanced at the message, his eyes showing no emotion, as if he were only looking at an insignificant name.
His long, slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, and his reply consisted of only four words: "Ignore it."

It was another wonderful Friday night. The daily quest area of "Jianghu Dream" was always bustling with activity, with various skill effects and mount wings dazzling the eyes.
Zi Xi and Ling Wei were huddled together, worrying about a daily friend challenge that required a three-person team to complete.
The other skilled players on the leaderboard are either offline or already fixed teammates.
"Ugh, this is so annoying! The daily update gives out such great stuff, but we still can't get three people together!"
"Am I really going to give up?! I'm a collector, after all..."
Ling Wei pouted and made her character jump around a couple of times.
Zi Xi also sighed, and was about to comfort her best friend.
Then I heard Ling Wei temporarily go offline, but the voice connection was still open, and there was a rustling noise coming from her side.
Then came her low, slightly coquettish voice on the phone.
"The most handsome and best brother! Please help me out!"
"Just a typical day for three people, it went by super fast!"
"Oh dear, I was sent to my grandma's house when I was little. Grandma asked you to take me out to play more!"
"And I'm not alone, I also have my sworn sister Xiyan, the one you met last time, that really cute musician!"
"Thanks, bro! I need to be in the Hangzhou city area right away!"
Ling Wei's voice rang out excitedly, and in the game, her character Yao Guang also made a victory sign.
Yao Guang: "All done! My brother's on his way!"
Zi Xi: "Who is your brother?"
They both have the surname Ling, could it be Ling Chen?
The plot doesn't mention that Ling Chen has a younger sister; it simply states that Ling Chen is the real young master, while the fake young master and his parents were kicked out of the country by Ling's grandfather and settled abroad.
Before Ling Wei could answer, a familiar figure in black, exuding an aura of chilling intimacy, appeared precisely in front of them.
It was still that Wuwang Sword, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light.
Player [Gu Hong] has applied to join the team.
"Is your brother really a lone goose?"
Zi Xi's hand trembled, and she almost clicked "no".
She did indeed know from her memories that Yao Guang's real name was Ling Wei.
"Hehe, the big boss has arrived, the mission is a sure thing!"
Ling Wei's application was approved very quickly.
Gu Hong didn't even glance at them. He walked directly to the NPC, accepted the quest, then turned around, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, clearly indicating that he wanted them to follow.
Yao Guang: "GOGOGO! Let's go~ Xi Xi, hurry up and catch up!"
The mission was to escort a caravan through a mountainous forest frequented by bandits.
It might be a bit of a challenge for a regular three-person team, but it's a piece of cake for Gu Hong.
Zi Xi and Ling Wei hadn't even had time to apply the first buff to the caravan.
The dozen or so bandits that had just spawned ahead vanished in an instant, turning into white light, all thanks to a sword flash that swept past like a ghost.
The few copper coins that had been awarded lay forlornly on the ground.
Gu Hong had already sheathed his sword and stood still, as if nothing had happened.
"Your brother is awesome..."
Zi Xi gave a thumbs up.
"...Bro, at least let us get into character and feel involved, okay?"
Ling Wei withdrew her stance.
The lone goose did not respond.
Zi Xi took a deep breath, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, and started talking non-stop.
