The visitor did not treat Liang Qing, the young lady who had been expelled from the family, with the disrespect she had expected. Instead, they greeted her warmly and respectfully, saying, "Miss, you're back."

"Aunt Zhang, don't be so polite. I just came back to pick up some things."

"Miss, are you leaving again after coming back this time?" Aunt Zhang's expression revealed a hint of worry.

It seems the original owner had a good attitude towards the housekeeper, and Aunt Zhang had genuine feelings for the original owner.

Liang Qing pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I'm doing very well."

Aunt Zhang also laughed, but the smile was very forced, clearly Liang Qing's words had not dispelled her worries.

Liang Qing chatted with Aunt Zhang for a few more minutes before going upstairs. She opened her room door from memory. Although she had been kicked out of the house for a month, the room was very clean and spotless. Only by cleaning it every day could she maintain this state.

Whether it was the original owner's father who instructed her, or Aunt Zhang who felt sorry for her and did the cleaning herself, remains unknown.

The original owner's room had a lot of things, but not many extravagant items. On the contrary, there were an overwhelming number of books, with two bookshelves alone.

Several stacks of books were also placed on the desk, and the school supplies were neatly categorized.

Liang Qing searched everywhere but couldn't find the diary or anything that would help her understand the original owner of the body.

She had been there for less than thirty minutes when footsteps sounded from the stairwell, and then Aunt Zhang came to the door, her voice somewhat unnatural: "Miss, the master is back."

"Okay." Liang Qing followed Aunt Zhang downstairs, wondering to herself why the original owner's father would come back at this time. Was it to kick her out?

If that's the case, it makes sense, since her comings and goings are related to the entire Liang family.

Before Liang Qing had even finished descending the stairs, she saw the original owner's father, a well-maintained middle-aged man with a handsome face, a good physique, and an imposing expression.

His gaze lingered on her for only a second, then he glanced at Aunt Zhang before turning away, leaving her with the words, "Liang Qing, come with me."

Liang Qing followed her father into the study. As she entered the room, her father's voice came from the front, "Close the door."

"Yes, father."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Liang Qing was startled; it was a subconscious response made without conscious thought.

But is this the original owner's subconscious or her own?

The thought sent a chill down Liang Qing's spine.

However, the current situation doesn't allow her time to think things through; she should deal with Mr. Liang in front of her first.

"Father, is there something you need from me?"

Mr. Liang looked at her quietly for two seconds, and the serious expression on his face softened, even revealing a hint of helplessness. "Xiao Qing, why do you have to do this?"

"I don't quite understand what Father means." Liang Qing was unsure of the situation and could only utter this ambiguous statement.

Mr. Liang sighed, “We are family, you don’t need to always speak to me so respectfully.”

His eyes were filled with affection. "If I could, I would prefer you to call me Dad."

Upon hearing this, Liang felt a complex mix of emotions and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Liang's father became a little downcast. He then changed the subject, "Regarding that thing you wanted to do after moving out, I still think it's inappropriate. You should move back."

Therefore, the original owner was not kicked out, but moved out on their own.

In this way, the attitudes of the nanny and Liang's father, as well as Liang Qing's original doubts about why the Liang family, which ranked first among the five major families in the original book, so hastily drove the original owner out of the house, were resolved.

But a new question arises: what exactly was the original purpose of this project?

The revenge plans on the table in the basement when Liang Qing first arrived in this world flashed through her mind. Could it be that she was plotting revenge against the four male protagonists?

No, that shouldn't be the case. The current situation has deviated significantly from the original plot.

Liang Qing's emotions were fluctuating more and more, and she could hardly contain herself, so she quickly replied, "Father, I know what I'm doing. I'll be going now."

After saying that, she left the Liang family without looking back, not even letting the nanny say goodbye.

Her head was getting increasingly painful, and the more she tried to figure things out, the more her head ached.

Liang Qing pressed his temples, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but his eyes remained incredibly resolute.

She called out to Xiaoqi again, but Xiaoqi still did not respond.

Liang Qing was not as agitated as before. She stumbled up a nearby cliff. The original book did not describe this place, but she was very familiar with the terrain here, which she found strange.

"There's only one way left." Even though Liang Qing tried her best to stay calm, the physical pain was hard to overcome. So she struggled to climb the cliff, during which the headache in her head became more and more intense, but Liang Qing still did not give up.

Liang Qing was now certain that this headache was not natural, but man-made.

There is a force preventing her from knowing the truth about this world, and even Xiao Qi's disappearance may be related to this force.

"So, there's only one way left."

By the time Liang Qing reached the top of the cliff, it was completely dark.

Liang Qing staggered to the edge of the cliff, looking down into the bottomless darkness, but having walked this far, he knew exactly how high it was.

If you jump, you will surely die.

The next second, Liang Qing jumped down without hesitation.

The wind howled past, and Liang Qing's heart pounded like a drum.

The body continued to fall.

Either die or find out the truth.

The mission was forgotten; all she wanted to know now was the truth.

She closed her eyes, waiting for death or something else.

Death did not come; just as she was about to fall to the bottom of the mountain, an electric shock sound rang out.

Liang Qing opened her eyes, a smile playing on her lips; what she had been waiting for had arrived.

The mechanical voice that had accompanied her through countless days and nights sounded again: [Emergency situation triggered. Host protection device activated.]

In an instant, Liang Qing was teleported to the basement.

Xiaoqi is still shaken, even though it has no heart.

The mechanical voice sounded panicked: "Host, are you alright?"

Liang Qing collapsed onto the bed, her voice weak, not from jumping off the cliff, but from a headache, "It's nothing, Xiao Qi, can you tell me what happened now?"

Xiao Qi began to explain in detail: "Host, I could have completed the upgrade in a day, but when I tried to establish contact with you, it was cut off."

"Was it cut off by the Time and Space Administration?" Liang Qing asked.

"No." Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment. "Yes..."

"Who is that?" Liang Qing covered her head.

If it's not the Time and Space Administration, then who else could it be?

Xiao Qi was a little uneasy, but she still told Liang Qing the truth: "It was you, host."
