Chapter 44, you did it, didn't you?

The torrential rain shrouded the entire city of Anda in mist.

Manager Xu pulled his hat brim low, wore a mask to completely cover his face, and stood at the back gate of the prison.

Not daring to use an umbrella for fear of attracting attention, they wore black raincoats, blending into the night fog.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the narrow, heavy iron door opened a crack, and a woman's face peeked through the gap, disappearing in an instant. Manager Xu hurriedly took out a thick stack of paper bags from his pocket and stuffed them into the crack.

After waiting a while, the narrow iron gate finally opened, and the fat woman shone a flashlight into Manager Xu's face, roughly blinding him with a white light. He dared not complain and forced a smile.

The flashlight beam then disappeared, and the woman clicked her tongue, tilting her head to gesture for him to go inside.

After passing through five iron gates in the narrow corridor, we arrived at a small reception room.

As soon as the door opened, a musty and damp smell immediately hit the door. A reinforced glass and iron window divided the visiting room in two, separating the visitors from the inmates.

There was only one lamp hanging above the room, providing dim lighting.

Manager Xu sat in his chair waiting, looking anxious. When the door opposite opened and Hai Qing walked in, he hurriedly stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and nervously nodded to Hai Qing.

The siblings originally only looked alike by about three points, but after Haiqing went to prison and cut her long hair, she now looks about five points like her brother.

Despite her many days in prison, her spirit remained undiminished. Unlike the sickly Eva, her face was thin, but her eyes were even sharper. She treated hardship as a whetstone, displaying both heroic spirit and gentleness.

She held the receiver without speaking, and Manager Xu quickly reported on the recent situation at the club.

Just like when I reported to her before, I didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Manager Xu met with Hai Qing without telling anyone and reported everything, not because he was particularly loyal.

Instead, Haiqing has always been in charge of making decisions regarding the entire club's business.

She does have high standards and is a perfectionist, but that doesn't stop her from offering good advice and demonstrating excellent business acumen.

Manager Xu understood his own inadequacy, and since Al was now a hands-off manager who didn't care about anything, he continued to follow the old practice of privately meeting with Hai Qing in prison and seeking her instructions monthly.

After listening to Manager Xu's report, Hai Qing listed and analyzed the points, and gave a quick reply. Manager Xu took out a pen and paper and quickly made notes.

Hai Qing speaks extremely fast, without pausing at all, and doesn't care whether Manager Xu has finished recording.

He paused at the end.

"...How is Al?"

"Is he still the same as before?"

When asked about his younger brother, he surprisingly spoke up.

Manager Xu's pen trembled slightly.

“...Boss Al... is no different from before.”

"It's just that I've been chatting with someone recently," Manager Xu said, trying to be tactful.

"Boss Al and the other party had a very pleasant conversation and talked earnestly every day in the club."

Hai Qing's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"In the club? Which hostess? What's her background, that she captivated Al?"

To avoid blurring the lines between work and personal life, Hai Qing strictly forbids her subordinates from engaging in workplace romances when she is in charge.

Now, my younger brother is actually leading the way in breaking this rule—

Hai Qing was instantly enraged and slammed her fist on the table, not too hard, not too soft.

"Explain everything clearly! You should have told me immediately when something like this happened to Al!"

“Okay, Miss Haiqing, first of all, the other party is a man.”

Hai Qing:…………! ?

My brother is infatuated with a man?!

Xx

Bai Weiran, unaware that he had become the male protagonist in the scandal, was in a good mood.

He held a game controller, his eyes fixed on the big screen. A group of about a dozen muscular men surrounded him. Dawei led the way, and the men all crossed their arms and stared at Bai Weiran's movements with an aggressive air, as if they were about to fight someone.

When he saw him break through the third secret level, the black-haired guy behind Dawei couldn't stand it anymore and kept giving Dawei meaningful glances. Dawei reached out to stop him, pressed him to calm down, and reassured him with his eyes.

Don't rush me, I absolutely don't believe he can even break through the fourth secret level.

When all four secret levels were defeated, the word "Victory" popped up on the screen, and a dozen or so onlookers simultaneously let out a frustrated wail.

"I can't believe it!!"

"This is my masterpiece, the one I'm most confident in!!"

"How did you manage to find this place? You're not human!!"

"Ah! Give me back my youth—how did you do that! Everyone else can't find it."

Bai Weiran had a lollipop in his mouth, looking completely innocent.

"Oh, there's a trick to it."

When he mentioned the "secret," he lowered his voice, which made David and his group curious and lean closer to him.

"What's the trick?"

"This is my personal secret. Promise me you won't tell anyone." Bai Weiran put a finger to his lips.

"That's right, we're all on the same side, we definitely won't tell, tell us quickly!"

"First, you must relax your neck, stretch out your arms, sit facing south, and take ten deep breaths. After picking up the handle, repeat the up-down-down-left-right-right-ABAB cycle three times to relax your hand muscles. That's it. As long as you perform this ritual first, there is no obstacle you can't overcome."

Everyone was stunned and immediately realized they had been tricked. Dawei didn't hold back and grabbed Bai Weiran by the neck, punching him hard in the head with a fierce tone.

"Well done, you think you can mess with your grandpa Dawei? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

During the days they played games together, Dawei and the others realized that Bai Weiran wasn't exactly a serious person. As they communicated more, they went from being cautious at the beginning to being very casual with each other, like a large group of brothers.

"No, I'm just talking about the secret of sincerity—"

"You managed to get through such a difficult level, you're inhuman, sigh!"

"This is tough! Let the storm rage even harder!!"

Bai Weiran had just stood up when he was surrounded by a wall of people and couldn't leave.

"You'd better tell us the secret today, or we'll give you a beating with our fists as big as casserole dishes."

"...Well, there's no secret to it, just practice makes perfect."

That leisurely attitude infuriated Dawei and the others. They were about to grab the man again and give him a good beating when their hands missed their target, and the young man simply vanished from the spot.

Bai Weiran had already teleported to the next level.

Now, every time I come to the Han family, I play games, offer suggestions for improvement on the project, or engage in wits and battles with Dawei and others, switching back and forth between the roles of player and designer.

Making and playing games is truly one of life's greatest pleasures.

But... I feel like I've forgotten something?

"Stop right there!"

He was called from behind and immediately remembered.

With games to play and people to play them with, it's perfectly reasonable to forget about yandere.

He turned around and, unsurprisingly, saw Eva leaning on her cane, her face full of anger, revealing her little tiger teeth.

"...You did it, didn't you?"

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded amidst the heavy rain outside the window, and a cross of lightning bolts shot down from above, causing the window to flash brightly for a moment.

Chapter 45 Hello, sir, all alone?

Eva was very angry.

Over the past few days, she went from being completely bewildered as to investigating the people around her, and finally she focused on Bai Weiran.

Her first thought was to confront them.

But this guy surnamed Bai is just like a mudfish.

He used to take the initiative to chat with her, telling her interesting historical stories she had never heard before.

Eva was initially engrossed in the conversation, but as soon as Bai Weiran apologized and admitted defeat to Han Di, she immediately lost interest.

He's a boring person, and his ideas don't align with hers, so she's not interested in what he says.

Later she met another person, someone with a similar temperament to him, who could answer all his questions.

Eva transferred her shattered expectations after the disappointment to this newly acquainted man, treating Bai Weiran with indifference and aloofness.

Bai Weiran simply stopped trying to chat with her, and the two interacted less and less, like parallel lines.

Every time Bai Weiran came to the Han family, he would only chat with Dawei and others who were working on projects, treating them like brothers.

As a result, Eva wanted to settle scores with Bai Weiran, but she couldn't find him.

Every time I tried to find him, he was either not there yet or had left. I missed him several times, but I finally caught him today.

"Did you tell Daddy?"

"...If it's about that gentleman, then it is."

"What gives you the right?"

“…Well, there’s no reason why. I’m just chatting about gossip when I’m bored. It’s not illegal, is it?” Bai Weiran said, multitasking as his gaze fell on a prominent goat’s head on the wall next to him, its horns intricately tangled.

Eva felt a tightness in her chest from this straightforward and thuggish attitude.

He didn't even try to argue his point.

Why are you doing this, threatening me, and causing me trouble?
