Even watching it at high speed, Ye Shuang still couldn’t find anything of value. This factory was Tang Hao’s base of operations. Aside from going out, Tang Hao had spent this entire period either resting here, playing on his phone, making calls, or jerking off.
It was difficult for Ye Shuang to find even a second person on the footage.
“His phone…” Ye Shuang thought for a few seconds. If possible, perhaps he could find some clues on Tang Hao’s phone?
“There’s nothing on it.”
But he soon received word that Tang Hao seemed to have switched phones. There was no data whatsoever on the new one, apart from a few short videos.
“...”
With no other option, Ye Shuang could only continue reviewing the surveillance footage.
Even at accelerated speed, half a month’s worth of recordings couldn’t be finished in a moment.
After two straight hours of watching with no results, Fugui finally came out of the room. Noticing Ye Shuang’s exhaustion, he smiled.
“So? How’s it going?”
“...”
Ye Shuang fell silent, completely defeated.
“Watching him pleasure himself every day—I seriously... There’s not a single useful piece of information.”
“Other than the fact that he can only last a few seconds.”
“But I got something on my end,” Fugui said.
“Really?” Ye Shuang seemed to perk up.
“Yeah. He said he received help abroad before he was able to make it back into the country,” Fugui continued. “It was from several bald guys.”
“Bald guys?”
“Mm.”
“There are plenty of bald people abroad, aren’t there? Did he give any other information?” Ye Shuang asked.
“He said they always contacted him first. But he’s ‘asleep’ right now. We can keep questioning him after he wakes up.” Fugui smiled and pointed toward the room.
Ye Shuang glanced over and saw Tang Hao lying on the floor inside.
“Mm.” Ye Shuang nodded. They had already caught him, so it would be hard for Tang Hao to stir up any more trouble.
“Fugui.”
“Yeah?”
“Once he wakes up, ask him whether he knows about someone called ‘Madam.’”
“Oh?”
…
…
By the time Ye Shuang left Fugui, it was already afternoon. As he headed to the parking lot to drive home and get some rest, he noticed that something appeared to be tucked beneath his car window.
A white slip of paper.
Ye Shuang: “...”
Huh?
He reached out and took it, only to find writing on it—
[Don’t keep investigating. Just deal with Tang Hao and leave it at that.]
Ye Shuang froze for a few seconds. Then he turned the note over in his hand, his brow furrowing. Who had left this here?
Holding the note, he went straight to the security office to check the surveillance footage, but found nothing.
The camera that was supposed to cover Ye Shuang’s parking spot had conveniently “malfunctioned” for about ten minutes.
Ye Shuang: “...”
Was this note a warning?
Yet it didn’t feel like a threat or a warning to him. Instead, it seemed as though someone was helping him—or advising him not to continue the investigation.
He said nothing more. After getting into the car and resting for a while, he drove home.
…
“Glug, glug, glug.”
Steam rose in bubbling bursts from the soup pot on the stove. A long-haired girl stood in the kitchen, her waist-length hair falling behind her as she stirred the ingredients with a ladle.
When she felt it was about done, she picked up the salt shaker beside her, sprinkled in two spoonfuls, gave it another stir, then scooped out a little to taste.
“Phew, phew...” After blowing on it, Bai Yuyou took a sip and pondered for a moment.
Hmm...
It was a little bland.
“Yuyou, do you need any help?” Tang Keke asked as she walked into the kitchen. They had started cooking as soon as they got back, since Ye Shuang was supposed to be home soon.
“No, it’s all simple stuff.” The girl shook her head and handed Keke the bowl of soup. “Taste it.”
“Mm.”
Keke took a sip. “Maybe add some MSG?”
“No.”
“Hehe, I once saw this video where some lady dumped an entire bottle—no, an entire bag—of MSG into the food, and then the family of three all had these blissful expressions on their faces. They looked like they’d been poisoned.”
After the two girls discussed it for a bit and decided to add more salt, Bai Yuyou went back to cooking.
“It’s so nice,” Tang Keke said wistfully, leaning against the kitchen doorway. “Coming home to soup already made for you.”
“Keke, you don’t understand. The way to win a man’s heart is through his stomach,” Bai Yuyou said softly.
“Huh?” Keke froze.
What was going on? Yuyou was actually giving her dating advice?!
“Yuyou, are you teaching me now?!”
“Mm. After all, Keke has never dated anyone before.” Bai Yuyou nodded.
That simple remark from Yuyou was like an arrow piercing straight through Keke’s heart. She lifted a hand and wiped at the nonexistent blood at the corner of her mouth.
“D-Don’t underestimate the experience of a master of shoujo manga!”
“You’re so noisy. Hurry up and serve the food.”
A voice came from the dining table. The two fishes had spoken up.
“Didn’t we just get back not long ago? And why are you two so openly freeloading off our dinner?!” Tang Keke complained, looking at the two fishes seated at the table.
“What’s wrong with mooching a meal at a friend’s place, huh?” Anshi Yi said, utterly shameless despite having no leg to stand on.
“Exactly. You’re here mooching food too,” An Shiyu said. “Yet you’re acting like the lady of the house. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you give Uncle half your ass every day. Those two lumps of fat have probably been thoroughly kneaded by now.”
“You two are the ones acting like the lady of the house!”
As Keke bickered with the two fishes, Bai Yuyou carried out a plate of cold snacks.
“Have something light to tide you over first,” she said.
“See? Yuyou is the thoughtful one.” Anshi Yi picked up a peanut with her chopsticks, not forgetting to lecture Keke as she did. “If you had that kind of awareness, you’d have found a boyfriend ages ago.”
“I’m not interested in romance at all,” Keke said, pouting.
“Hard to say. Girls who insist they’re not interested are usually the ones with the biggest contrast in bed,” An Shiyu said.
The moment she finished speaking, Keke’s cheeks flushed red.
“Oh? So I was right?” An Shiyu tossed a peanut into her mouth.
“N-No, you weren’t!”
While the girls were bickering among themselves, Ye Shuang returned home.
“Hm? It seems pretty lively today.” After changing into his slippers, Ye Shuang saw Little Yezi, who had been sitting in the living room, run over to him.
“Daddy!”
“Meownega!”
“Why are you two here as well?”
Ye Shuang patted Yezi on the head. Seeing that the two fishes were also at home, he asked curiously.
Given their personalities, weren’t they more likely to be out having fun?
“Oh, we were just holding a romance conference, discussing Keke’s unexpected contrast,” Anshi Yi said.
“Contrast? What kind of contrast?” Ye Shuang paused, his gaze falling on Keke.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
