After gradually adjusting to the brightness of the real world, Lin Yang was furious with this damn system.
Normally, it's the only one who can summon me at will. When I try to find it, it's like it's in hibernation, and I can't get into that dark world no matter what I do.
Damn it, that's so unfair!
And this broken system! It freezes if you don't complete a task, and it freezes even more if you complete a task but no new tasks are assigned to it!
At this rate, when will she ever be able to go home?
Lin Yang was furious and lost all interest in checking Weibo's trending topics, so she threw her black-screened phone aside.
But who exactly was behind her mission?
Could it be the same person who caused Xu Chengzhi to be cyberbullied last time?
Who could it be?
"I told you, I will give you whatever you like."
"I will remove anything you don't like so that it won't get in your way."
For some reason, the two sentences that Mr. Ex had said to her that day flashed through Lin Yang's mind.
Could it be him?
Lin Yang couldn't help but connect Mr. Ex with these matters, and doubts began to arise in her heart.
But how did he know what he was going to do?
Why should he help her? What benefit would it bring him to help her?
A series of questions enveloped Lin Yang's mind, like a thick fog obscuring her path and making it impossible to see the way forward.
Lin Yang picked up her phone again and, on a whim, dialed Mr. Ex's number.
I hope he's not too busy.
"Beep—" The busy signal went off for a long time.
Lin Yang was getting impatient; that minute felt incredibly long.
Just when she thought Mr. Ex wouldn't answer the phone, a male voice suddenly rang out, "Hello?"
Lin Yang gripped her phone tightly, her voice slightly hoarse, "Hello, sir, are you busy?"
"No, what's up?" Mr. Ex put down his phone and made himself a cup of coffee.
"Is Duan Tiantian one of yours?" After thinking it over, Lin Yang came to this conclusion.
Mr. Ex was aware of everything she did. Although even Duan Tiantian was unaware of her mission, Mr. Ex could figure out exactly what she wanted to do.
But the only thing Lin Yang could deduce was that unless Mr. Ex had planted spies around her, it would be impossible for him to know so much about her.
Of all the people around her, Duan Tiantian was the one she had the most contact with, and also the one whose background she knew the least about.
Mr. Ex paused as he poured his coffee, a chuckle coming through the phone, "Getted smarter?"
By remaining noncommittal, he implicitly accepted Lin Yang's speculation.
"How do you know what I want to do? Who exactly are you?" Lin Yang asked all her questions, eager to know the answers.
Mr. Ex, like Chu Yu, was someone who did not exist in the original owner's memories.
So, who exactly is he?
Why did I suddenly become the original owner's sugar daddy in this life?
And why are they fueling her efforts behind the scenes?
"No comment." The sound of hot water brewing coffee came from nearby, and judging by the volume of the sound, he was standing neither too far nor too close to his phone.
"Then why did you help me? How much do you actually know about me?" Lin Yang persisted, pressing for an answer.
"Lin Yang, some things lose their meaning if you say them out loud." This was the first time Mr. Ex had called her by name in person. "Anyway, just know that I won't harm you."
Alright, it seems we won't get anything substantial out of him.
Lin Yang gave up on pressing the issue and changed the subject, asking about their trending topic, "Why did you make our relationship public?"
