"Please, save my master." After pondering for a long time, the system finally defied its master's designed task-issuing program and changed its approach to privately requesting Lin Yang's help.
"Huh?" Upon hearing the system's request, Lin Yang's first reaction was that it was playing a trick on her again. "Your master needs me to save him?"
In this world, everyone is a pawn in Mr. Ex's game.
What, does the supreme chess player need to be saved?
"Let me be honest with you." The system gritted its teeth and finally told Lin Yang the thing about Xu Chengzhi that she was curious about: "Xu Chengzhi is not dead, but he will die soon."
Upon hearing the news that Xu Chengzhi was still alive, Lin Yang was not even able to feel happy before she was completely confused by the system's next sentence, "What do you mean? What do you mean he's going to die soon? What does this have to do with me going to save your master?"
Lin Yang simply couldn't connect the two events.
“My master will kill Xu Chengzhi in an hour, but he will also die after killing Xu Chengzhi. Only you, host, can save them both.” The system risked punishment and revealed Mr. Ex’s plan in one go.
Lin Yang still didn't quite understand why Mr. Ex killed Xu Chengzhi, and he would also die? Was there any connection between the two?
She racked her brains, and suddenly two faces kept flashing through her mind, two almost identical faces.
Could it be...?
Lin Yang couldn't help but make a bold guess.
"Host..." the system explained everything in detail.
Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Yang was first surprised, then incredulous.
He couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.
I see, I see...
But she didn't have time to slowly digest all this information. She could only ask the system to send her back to her original world as soon as possible to stop Mr. Ex's next plan.
It was also his final plan in life.

Inside a private hospital.
In ward 201, a tall man lay on a snow-white single bed.
On the pole next to it, a bottle of IV fluid that was almost finished was hanging high.
There were several needle marks on the back of the man's hand, where the veins were bulging.
Some of the needle marks were particularly red and swollen, probably because they had been pricked several times in that spot, hence the swelling.
He slept peacefully, and because of the medication in his IV drip, his eyelashes never trembled, nor did his fingertips twitch; there was no sign of him waking up.
"Crunch—" Just as the last drop was finished, someone came to visit the man inside the house.
She strode into the ward with her long, slender legs, followed by a doctor and two nurses.
"You can wake him up now." The person who entered glanced at the empty IV drip bottle, then pointed two fingers together at the person lying on the bed.
The nurse followed the man's instructions, went forward and removed the needle from the person lying on the bed, and then injected a colorless medicine into a vein in his arm.
The medicine took effect quickly, and the person lying on the bed twitched their fingertips slightly.
Seeing this small movement, the person who entered the room curled his fingers in satisfaction and tapped them lightly on the mask, waiting for the person on the hospital bed to fully wake up.
If he were to remove his mask, the doctor and the two nurses would be extremely surprised, as the two men look remarkably alike.
Yes, the person who came to visit was Mr. Ex, who always wore a mask.
The person lying on the hospital bed was none other than Xu Chengzhi.
The movements of her fingertips became more intense, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
He's finally waking up.
