This is our beloved Mr. Chen Li.

That's Miss Lan, who needs to be protected.

She was in great pain. A few seconds later, she suddenly closed her eyes, knelt down, and pressed her forehead tightly to the ground.

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen Li, please let Miss Lan go!"

There must be some misunderstanding here!

"Shut up, it's none of your business to speak here!"

"...Yes, I know I'm not worthy, but please let Miss Lan go. She's been stalked recently, and she's under a lot of stress... It's understandable that she's overreacting, Mr. Chen Li...!"

Yuan Jixi hurriedly tried to explain to Bai Weiran.

But how could Chen Li possibly accept this explanation?

This woman had just coldly criticized his penis size.

The mockery and composure in those dark eyes—could someone like that be driven to a corner by a stalker?!

Ha, even pigs can fly!

But then he suddenly realized something and calmed down from his rage.

"Catch her!"

In short, Yuan Jixi was shocked, and Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow.

Chen Li pointed at Bai Weiran, facing Yuan Jixi.

"Yuan Jixi, arrest her! This woman is undoubtedly a corporate spy and a threat to the team. Tie her up; I'm going to interrogate her thoroughly!"

Chen Li came to her senses.

Why should he bother to capture Lan Wei himself and make a fool of himself? He has other useful tools at his disposal.

Bai Weiran let out a soft "Oh!" and glanced at Yuan Jixi.

What will she do?

It was her innate nature to help the weak and fight against evil, far surpassing the tools cultivated by the simulator, that made her beat Chen Li up.

Still true to her chivalrous nature, she lost to the tool cultivated by the simulator, and tied herself up and sent to Chen Li's bed.

Oh no, following the path of a devoted yandere turning evil, it's most likely the latter.

Just as Bai Weiran was thinking, he saw Yuan Jixi suddenly spring up from his kneeling position, like an agile little cheetah, heading straight for him. Bai Weiran was about to use his superpowers to stop him, but then he thought it was useless and could only let Yuan Jixi grab his wrist.

[System Notification: The low-level "Thin Mask" feature has been disabled]

Bai Weiran thought that being cheap had its advantages.

I didn't feel anything when I was pretending, and I didn't feel anything when the pretense was gone.

Fortunately, both of them firmly believed he was a woman. But if Yuan Jixi were to tie him up and throw him onto Chen Li's bed now, it would be hilarious. Once his clothes were off, what was supposed to be a battle of conquest would turn into a contest of size.

Bai Weiran found it somewhat amusing.

Yuan Jixi pulled him forward with great force, taking large strides, his eyes deep and devoid of light.

Bai Weiran turned his head and glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window.

Oh, what a coincidence, it's the 28th floor again. He'll take down these two people in a bit and then fly away.

As Yuan Jixi pulled Bai Weiran closer, Chen Li's smile became increasingly unrestrained and obvious. He looked at Bai Weiran as if she were a toy in his palm, with an unfathomable, pretentious expression. His eyes were like a fan, displaying three parts aloofness, four parts contempt, one part anger, and two parts strategic planning.

Bai Weiran was thinking about how he would teach Chen Li a lesson once Yuan Jixi left.

Chen Li was also thinking about how he would teach Lan Wei a lesson once Yuan Jixi left.

The two men, without prior arrangement, used the same word, but the meanings were quite different.

Yuan Jixi stopped four or five steps away.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of Chen Li and Bai Weiran, she pulled Bai Weiran behind her, protecting her.

Her expression was pained, heavy, and conflicted; as the ancients said, one could compose a poem in seven steps, but for her, it was seven steps that brought her sorrow.

"Mr. Chen Li, please let me... let me take Miss Lan Wei back..."

"Miss Lan Wei, she, she...she really isn't a bad person..."

Yuan Jixi resisted Chen Li, and her speech was incoherent; her face clearly showed her inner turmoil.

But she still tried her best to defend Bai Weiran.

"I believe she is not a spy, please don't torture her—please let her go—"

Bai Weiran was astonished, and Chen Li was also astonished.

After being shocked, Bai Weiran was delighted, while Chen Li, after being shocked, was instantly engulfed in terrifying rage.

He never imagined that Yuan Jixi would betray him one day.

He can look down on her, use her, scheme against her, respect her when he wants to, and treat her like a shoe-shining rag when he doesn't.

He may love her, but he may not love her; but she must love him!

Enraged, he lost his mind, and his right hand shot up high. Yuan Jixi saw this, bit her lip, and closed her eyes, preparing to bear the blow with her cheek.

Her actions undoubtedly betrayed Mr. Chen Li, and she deserved it—

But the slap didn't land.

Yuan Jixi opened his eyes and saw Bai Weiran take a step forward, gently blocking with his left palm to the side. Although it looked weak and powerless, it completely intercepted the aggressive hand. Chen Li felt as if his hand had hit the iron bar. The reaction force made his palm hurt, and a numb sensation rushed from his palm to the top of his head. He froze on the spot.

Bai Weiran's voice was gentle.

“There are all kinds of people in this world. I know some people like to use slapping others to show their power and status, and they feel good about it. But my sense of satisfaction is different. My sense of satisfaction is to prevent such people from being slapped.”

A moment of silence—

Bai Weiran easily broke free from Yuan Jixi's control.

Yes, superpowers are really amazing.

He glanced at Yuan Jixi; she was still wearing that suit.

Chen Li loved seeing her in that outfit, and his mind would wander endlessly to her.

Bai Weiran took off his white coat and covered her with it, obscuring most of the outfit's curves.

“Assistant Yuan, if you can’t do this kind of thing, then think about why you can’t do it, and don’t do it again.”

Don't let her turn evil and do something like throwing other women into Chen Li's bed and letting him do whatever he wants, mistaking devotion and control for happiness.

Then he wouldn't be able to resist beating up Yuan Jixi as well.

"Don't forget the story I told you—"

Wearing a white coat, Yuan Jixi and Chen Li silently watched Bai Weiran close the door and leave.

She was genuinely stunned, but Chen Li wasn't; Chen Li was being controlled by Bai Weiran.

Only after Bai Weiran left the house was Chen Li able to move around freely again.

He immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Yuan Jixi and launching into a tirade of abuse, while Yuan Jixi remained silent, head bowed.

She remembered the story Bai Weiran had told her.

"There are two people in the story, A and B."

“A gives B an egg every day, every single day.”

"Until one day, A suddenly stopped giving the egg. B was very angry, chased after A, and questioned why A wouldn't give the egg."

"Person B believed that the egg should rightfully belong to him. After failing to get it from Person A, Person B became enraged and killed Person A with a single blow. The story ends here."

Mr. Chen Li was once a certain A who helped me, and I was grateful and never thought of hurting him.

Now, he seemed more like Mr. A, doing everything for Mr. Chen Li, and today's refusal enraged him.

Yuan Jixi pondered slowly.

“Assistant Yuan, if you can’t do this kind of thing, then think about why you can’t do it, and don’t do it again.”

A sudden jolt went through my mind; it felt like some switch had been turned off.

Bai Weiran never expected that his comical actions would turn off Yuan Jixi's blackening switch.

Chen Li forced Yuan Jixi to act, but Yuan Jixi protected the delicate Miss Lan.

Yuan Jixi remained loyal, but refused to tolerate any behavior that harmed the weak.

The twisting and pulling is no longer an option.

Bai Weiran returned to his research lab and checked the time. In the parallel world, it should be late at night or early morning, and the amusement park would have already closed.

He deduced that Ah Chao and the others had all left.

He also returned late at night when it was quiet.

We can't let our current social status remain stuck in amusement parks, haunted houses, or public amusement facilities, where we might suddenly jump out and scare staff and tourists.

A beam of white light flashed, and then everything went completely black. Bai Weiran was disoriented and went blind for a few seconds.

The amusement park is especially quiet at night, and the haunted house is like a gaping abyss, burying people deep inside.

He remembered entering the mission world behind a terrifying box—

Bai Weiran's vision was blurry. He reached out to feel for the box, but he didn't touch the edges of the box. Instead, he touched a soft, slender little hand. He was stunned and tried to pull it away, but the little hand was like a live snake, wrapping around his arm. The next second, he was pinned to the ground with his hands and feet restrained, unable to move.

"………………" Unexpected, yet not unexpected.

"Xiao Ran...hehe, my Xiao Ran..."

He sighed.

"Long time no see, Mingguang—"
