That evening, Lian Han logged into Tianwang on time, using Yan Si's account.
They had arranged to meet at a private room in a hotel, but before Lian Han even entered, he heard the sound of glasses shattering. "...Li...you bastard..."
"Bang!"
The door to the private room shook, and Lian Han quickly pushed it open. The table was overturned, the tableware was scattered on the floor in pieces, and there was even a woman lying against the wall. Apart from the elegantly seated man, the entire private room was in chaos.
"What are you doing?" Lian Han's expression changed, but in her hazy state, it was impossible to tell that she had changed her expression; only her eyes were full of coldness.
"Hit someone. Just like what you see." Jing Li said calmly.
"You're utterly heartless!" Yuan Yuan struggled to her feet, her face grim.
Lian Han was puzzled. Wasn't he just certain that Jing Li hadn't betrayed him? What was going on?
Jingli ignored what she was thinking and said to herself, "It's quite an achievement that you were able to find Yuan Yuan's place."
"But don't think you can establish a connection with me just like that. I, Jing Li, am a top-tier card maker, president of the Card Maker Guild, and the Federation's chief card maker. I'm not someone you can just associate with. This is just a warning. If there's a next time..."
What can you do?
Jing Li smiled gently, but her words were anything but: "I'll just go to the Divine Alliance for a visit, expose your true identity, and in reality—I'll kill you!"
Is this another threat involving reality? Lian Han was speechless.
The other person stood up, walked up to Yuan Yuan, and lifted her chin. "You believed what I said to comfort you back then? The old man has been dead for so long, he can't cause any trouble. Let me tell you, I killed him. And I used a card that the old man made himself, otherwise he would have run away long ago."
Yuan Yuan was so angry that her body trembled, and she raised her hand to hit him.
But Jingli grabbed his wrist and pushed him back. "A crippled 2S is barely comparable to an S-class. You think you can fight me? I spared your life because Tristar is too far away and too chaotic. It's too much trouble to go there. But if you cause trouble again, I really won't tolerate you."
Jingli took out a handkerchief to wipe her fingers, as if touching her had dirtied her.
"You! You—" Yuan Yuan was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she could only watch helplessly as the other person left. Then she glanced at Lian Han and logged off.
Lian Han: ...
Energy system – as long as there is enough energy, it can help the host achieve any request. In other words, it is an equal exchange where the host provides energy to the system, and the system helps the host fulfill their wishes.
Pei Sumei was quite satisfied with the system in this respect, but that was before someone came knocking on her door.
It was a very clean room. The room wasn't big; it only had a bathroom, a bed, a refrigerator, a Skynet connection pod, a table, and a wardrobe. That was all.
Pei Sumei also checked the refrigerator and found only a dozen or so tubes of nutrient solution. Although there weren't many clothes in the wardrobe, they were all predominantly dark-colored, which seemed to fit Xiaoya's description of her as aloof.
Just then, there was a knock on the door; it was a melancholy young man.
"Who is he?" Pei Sumei asked.
[Sun Han is not listed in the information!] Xiao Ya is certain.
No one answered the door, which didn't surprise the young man. He said, "Miss Pei, I've been looking for you for a long time. Regarding your mother, Pei Yuan, what is she doing now..."
"What's wrong with Mom?" Pei Sumei asked in surprise, opening the door.
The young man smiled, secretly pleased that he had come to the right place, and followed Pei Sumei into the room. "She asked me to tell you that if you encounter anything strange recently, do not believe it."
Something strange? Xiao Ya? Pei Sumei was surprised and looked at the young man, "Who are you? What's your relationship with my mother?"
The undisguised wariness in the girl's eyes deepened the young man's smile; he had indeed misjudged the situation before. Compared to Lian Han, who had witnessed the harsh realities of life from a young age and was extremely wary, this girl, pampered by her family, was much easier to handle.
"I can't say for sure about our relationship. I just want to ask if your mother went to Nor when she left?"
Pei Sumei's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't even told her sister Xiaohan about this; only she and her mother knew!
How is Mom?
[Xiao Mei, danger warning! Danger warning!] System Xiao Ya called out. Only when he got closer did he realize that this person possessed something that could endanger the system!
“Her children have all been entrusted to her care, so of course her condition is not good, and she has even been in danger of losing her life more than once.”
Pei Sumei's face turned pale. Guessing that her mother was in danger was completely different from hearing it from someone else!
[Xiao Mei, think about it, nobody knows we're here, how could he...]
"Shut up!"
He gave himself away?
The young man, Ming Yu, raised an eyebrow, and then heard the girl say, "No, continue."
At the same time, Pei Sumei coldly said to Xiao Ya: [You shut up!]
Xiao Ya felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. "Host's IQ?! It's obvious the other party is lying to her!"
If a system fails to complete its tasks, it will be formatted. What good will it do to harm the host?
How is Mom doing now?
"Fortunately, she was safe before I left."
"Thank you, big brother." Pei Sumei breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, did Mom ask you to bring me anything? She promised to return it to me if I stayed by my sister's side."
"Something?" Ming Yu narrowed his eyes, and after meeting the girl's expectant gaze, said, "I'm sorry, your mother gave me a box, but it was lost when she fled, wait..."
Pei Sumei was taken aback, then took a step back and sneered, "Liar!"
[Xiao Mei is brilliant!] Although she didn't know how things had taken such a turn for the better, Xiao Ya couldn't help but jump for joy.
