77 Unexpected Discovery
Yu Chun woke up at 10 a.m.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up.
It gives me a strange sense of satisfaction... but it's so sour!
I'll lie down a little longer...
So Yu Chun lay down on the soft bed again, rolled around in her blanket a couple of times, and let out a silent, silly laugh.
Just as he was savoring the moment and pondering what excuse he could use to continue "bothering" the busy CEO Jian, a cold yet familiar mechanical voice suddenly exploded in his mind.
[Ding! The Pancake Comeback System is now online!]
Yu Chun was startled and almost rolled off the bed, all her romantic thoughts vanishing in fright.
"..."
This system is really messed up; it didn't even give us a heads-up before going live.
That was absolutely terrifying!
Damn system!
Yu Chun cursed the system's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, if the system even existed.
The system didn't even notice whether Yu Chun complained about it; it just wanted to announce the task results and log off as soon as possible.
Since issuing Yu Chun the mandatory task of increasing the progress to 5% within four months, the system has entered hibernation to conserve energy.
When the system estimated that the mission time was almost up and woke up again, it was surprised to find that its stupid host had actually gotten involved with Chu Xiao.
Although the system had been maliciously pestering Yu Chun to seduce someone else, once Yu Chun actually did, the system instantly turned into a coward and became incredibly timid.
Normally, apart from the host, no one in this world can see the system's physical form, nor can anyone hear the system speak.
But Chu Xiao is a bug!
She can not only see and hear, but also smash the system to ashes with a pancake spatula.
After all, they have the privileges of being a global creator.
This has left a serious psychological scar on the system.
Therefore, when Chu Xiao was around, the system didn't dare to utter a sound and quietly played dead.
It's only now, while Chu Xiao is away, that it dares to quickly go online and finish its job.
[Host has successfully completed the forced reality task: the mission to acquire the Pancake Group within four months has been completed, increasing the progress to 5%.]
[We hope the host will continue their efforts and achieve even greater success!]
The system went silent after those two sentences.
Yu Chun waited for a long time.
"System? Is it still there?"
The room was quiet, and my mind was clear.
It seems the system is offline again.
Yu Chun rolled her eyes.
Since being bound to this broken system, in order to find a way to get rid of it, he secretly read some system novels in his spare time.
Yu Chun discovered that, regardless of whether other systems were good or bad, the host would receive a reward after completing the task.
His system, on the other hand, was always threatening and punishing him or making sarcastic remarks.
This made Yu Chun feel even worse.
"One day I'll grind you into dust and scatter your ashes!"
Yu Chun made up her mind.
The system's unpredictable appearances and disappearances were something Yu Chun had long been accustomed to.
He didn't think much of it; he was actually happy to have some peace and quiet since the system wasn't bothering him.
He reached for his phone, and without thinking, tapped the bright green app icon and opened the pinned chat window.
Chu Xiao's last message was sent at 8:30 in the morning: I'm going to the company.
Yu Chun turned on the light, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she began her routine tasks.
He first took a selfie of himself, taken from a tricky angle, just after waking up, but still incredibly handsome.

The message was sent out, but it disappeared without a trace.
Yu Chun thought to herself that Chu Xiao must be busy at this time.
He didn't care, and got up to wash up while humming a song.
Looking at his flawless face in the mirror, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Chu Xiao is so busy, and her company is so big, there must be a lot of blind suitors trying to get close to her, right?
Although Chu Xiao definitely wouldn't like it, he still had to assert his dominance!
He had to show everyone in the entire Jianbing Group how incredibly beautiful and virtuous their CEO Jian's husband was! He wanted to make those with improper thoughts feel ashamed of themselves!
Yu Chun's eyes darted around—
Should we deliver a homemade lunch to Chu Xiao?
Yes! Let's go deliver lunches with love!
This idea is absolutely perfect!
It not only showcases his thoughtfulness and care, but also displays his good looks and presence from every angle.
Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, and remembering how quickly he cooked two dishes in four hours on the day they got their marriage certificate, Yu Chun knew that it was too late for her to cook now.
So he skillfully opened the Yunye Ferry app.
Half an hour later, the apartment manager knocked on Yu Chun's door with a takeout order from Yunye Ferry.
"Thank you," Yu Chun said politely as she accepted the takeout.
He skillfully unpacked the exquisite "Yunye Ferry" package, took out the still-steaming food, poured it into luxurious bowls and plates at home, and placed it in a thermos.
After thinking for a moment, he found a sandalwood box and put the thermos into it.
Looking at her masterpiece, Yu Chun nodded in satisfaction: "Perfect! My cooking skills aren't enough, but my love will make up for it! Who wouldn't praise me for being virtuous and kind? Hahahaha!"
He carefully selected an outfit that he believed would perfectly complement his face and figure, and carrying a heavy sandalwood box, he was ready to leave with high spirits.
However, something unexpected happened.
Just as Yu Chun passed by the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something reflecting light from the opposite building out of the corner of her eye.
That feeling was very subtle and fleeting.
In the past, someone as oblivious as Yu Chun wouldn't have cared at all.
But perhaps it was the professional sensitivity he had developed during the month he spent monitoring Jian Bing that hadn't completely faded that came into play, and his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
Indeed, ever since Yu Chun spent a lot of money to buy Attorney Wang's crash course on lip reading, he felt it was very effective. Later, during the surveillance period, he also studied Attorney Wang's practical detective courses such as "5 Ghost Surveillance Methods that Private Investigators Never Reveal - Mastering the 3rd One Is Enough!", "7 Core Points for Avoiding Target Counter-Reconnaissance - A Must-Read for Beginners!", and "[Internal Tutorial] How Do Security Experts Discover They Are Being Monitored?"
It can be said that Yu Chun's knowledge is more professional than that of many junior detectives, after all, he used his money to buy a lot of private tutoring lessons from lawyer Wang, a big name in the industry.
He stopped and casually strolled to the window, using the curtains as cover to look at the building across the street.
Across the street is another upscale apartment building, a bit higher up than theirs. It's not exactly close, but the view is excellent.
Everything seemed normal; clothes were hanging to dry on the balcony, and the windows were closed.
Yu Chun frowned.
Or is it just my imagination?
“No…” Yu Chun recalled that Lawyer Wang’s article, “[Internal Tutorial] How do security experts discover they are being monitored?” emphasized that such sudden reflections should be viewed with extreme caution.
Out of confidence in Attorney Wang's private lessons, and considering the exorbitant private lesson fee that still pains him to think about, Yu Chun put down the lunchbox.
We absolutely must figure this out!
He immediately turned around, rushed into the study, and dragged a large black box out of a dusty corner.
This is the "tools of the crime" bag that he decided to secretly hide after his last "surveillance mission" ended, because the equipment was too expensive and he couldn't bear to throw it away.
Yu Chun skillfully opened the box.
Inside the box were all kinds of surveillance equipment, including telescopes, telephoto cameras, and lenses.
He skillfully picked up a high-powered telescope and returned to the window.
Yu Chun first pretended to be narcissistic and fixed her hair in front of the binoculars, adjusted the angle, and then the camera slowly and aimlessly swept across the windows of the building opposite.
Just like when he was monitoring Jian Bing, he was patient and meticulous.
One, two, three... it's all normal.
Just as the camera panned to a particular house, he suddenly stopped!
The window of that house was drawn with a thin gauze curtain, but it wasn't completely closed; a gap remained.
Behind the gap, a black, tripod-like object and a blurry human figure flashed by!
Yu Chun's eyes widened, and her heart suddenly tightened.
That's not an ordinary household telescope or camera!
That specification and installation method...
He absolutely cannot be mistaken!
The person opposite him and the one he's currently doing are doing the same thing!
It's really not an illusion!
Someone is watching them!
