After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"...What plans do I need to make?"

Pei Xingzhi stopped and stared at Shen Yanhui with a gloomy gaze. He asked in a cold voice, "Shen Yanhui, what plans do I need to make? Are you so sure that Ayuan won't come back?"

Shen Yanhui also stopped and turned to look at Pei Xingzhi with a smile, saying in a light tone, "I'm not sure, I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder. You're so young, with such a bright future ahead of you, and you're already carrying a child. How can you not make plans soon?"

"Why should I make plans?" Pei Xingzhi asked expressionlessly. "The task force has already set its sights on Qin Wushuang. As long as the task force finds the location of the villa, Ayuan can be rescued immediately."

"Ah Yuan can't possibly be in any danger, so why should I make plans? And what plans should I make?"

“Hehe…” Shen Yanhui suddenly laughed twice, her laughter was extremely strange, making Pei Xingzhi feel a little uneasy.

“Just because Zhaoyuan is fine now doesn’t mean she’ll be fine in the future. You have a child to take care of, so you have to think more about things.”

“…Shen Yanhui, are you out of your mind?” Pei Xingzhi was completely enraged and no longer bothered to be polite to Shen Yanhui.

He already had a lot on his shoulders, and Xie Zhaoyuan hadn't been heard from for a long time. His already limited patience was almost exhausted, and Shen Yanhui just had to recklessly run into his line of fire.

He couldn't hold back any longer and simply started cursing at Shen Yanhui: "Shen Yanhui, watch your mouth. I'm only being polite to you because Ayuan considers you a friend. If you start acting up again, don't blame me for embarrassing you!"

"If you want to look for me, then keep looking. If you don't want to look for me, then get the hell out of here and stop babbling nonsense in front of me!"

"..."

Pei Xingzhi's scolding was particularly harsh, but Shen Yanhui listened with a blank expression and little reaction.

She continued to stare at Pei Xingzhi, her eyes stiff and vacant, as if she hadn't understood what he was saying at all.

Pei Xingzhi frowned as he scrutinized her, only now finally noticing something amiss.

"...Shen Yanhui?" He raised a hand and gently waved it in front of Shen Yanhui. "Shen Yanhui, did you hear what I said?"

"..." Shen Yanhui stared blankly, her peach blossom eyes devoid of any life.

Pei Xingzhi's gaze darkened, and he tentatively called out to her again, "Shen Yanhui? Are you daydreaming or what are you doing?"

"..." Shen Yan blinked, and a bit of life finally returned to her blank face.

"Hmph..." She pouted, inexplicably feeling wronged. "If you don't want to listen, then don't listen. Why did you have to say such harsh words to me? I was only doing it for your own good!"

"Pei Xingzhi, you're too fierce!"

"What?" Pei Xingzhi was completely confused.

Shen Yanhui pouted and stood in front of Pei Xingzhi, babbling incoherently for a while. Finally, she suddenly shuddered nervously twice.

After shaking, he raised his head, and his expression and eyes returned to normal.

“…Pei Xingzhi!!” She froze for a moment, then suddenly stared wide-eyed at Pei Xingzhi. “Pei Xingzhi, don’t believe what she says! She’s talking complete nonsense!”

“…Huh?” Pei Xingzhi was completely bewildered by her.

What did she say? Where did she come from? Weren't there only the two of them speaking just now?

"Hey!" Shen Yan raised her hand and slapped herself hard on the head. "Those weren't my true feelings at all! I never thought that way! Don't take those words seriously! I didn't say any of them!"

"..."

Shen Yanhui's behavior was so strange that Pei Xingzhi had no idea how to respond.

Shen Yan replied, "Zhao Yuan is my friend, the first friend I made here, and my best friend! How could I possibly wish for her death? Believe me, believe me, I didn't say those things!"

"..." Pei Xingzhi stared at her blankly, truly bewildered by her.

"Shen Yanhui, are you alright?" he asked with some concern.

Shen Yan Hui's condition was really abnormal; he suspected that she had some kind of mental illness.

"Oh dear!" Shen Yanhui grabbed a handful of hair in frustration, and opened her mouth to explain something, when Lin Jiahe suddenly darted out from another alley.

"I'm all ready. Let's continue. After we've explored this hill, it'll be about time to head back!"

"..."

Neither of the two people standing at the intersection responded to him.

He blinked blankly, looking at this person and then at that person. Although he sensed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange, he had no idea what had happened.

"What are you all doing?" he asked, confused and curious. "Why are you all ignoring me? Did I do something to upset you while I was in the bathroom?"

"..."

Shen Yanhui and Pei Xingzhi both looked away, and neither of them spoke.

Lin Jiahe pointed at Shen Yanhui's hair: "Shen Yanhui, why is your hair such a mess?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhui hurriedly raised her hands and casually combed her long hair with her fingers.

"It's nothing, it's just that my dad just called again and urged me to go back for a blind date. I'm so annoyed by him." Unable to explain her actions, she could only make up an excuse to fool Lin Jiahe.

"The call is over, let's continue uphill."

“Oh…” Lin Jiahe nodded, without doubting Shen Yanhui’s explanation.

"Pei Xingzhi." He walked over to Pei Xingzhi and nudged his arm. "Let's continue. After we finish exploring this area, we'll meet up with Brother Xie."

“…Hmm.” Pei Xingzhi glanced coldly at Shen Yanhui, then turned and continued walking upstairs.

Shen Yan followed behind them with her head down.

"System, are you trying to die?" she questioned the system in her mind.

The mechanical female voice answered immediately: [What's wrong, host? Why are you suddenly so angry?]

Shen Yan gritted her teeth: "Why do you think that is?"

"Do you think I'm some kind of brain-dead idiot who would never guess that you were the one who just did that?"

[Hmm.] The mechanical female voice gave an ambiguous hum, neither confirming nor denying.

Shen Yan replied: [Are you trying to die? What are you trying to do by suddenly pulling this stunt? Are you manipulating my mind and forcing me to seduce Pei Xingzhi?]

Mechanical female voice: [The host is unwilling to pursue Pei Xingzhi and only wants to sit and wait to die. But I don't want to die, so of course I can only do my part in the host's place.]

"Ha, you're going to do your best?" Shen Yan was amused by it. "System, you can control my body to do your best for me? I didn't know you had such powerful abilities."

The mechanical female voice carried a hint of smugness: "[This skill is a backup plan left to me by the system. If the host is determined not to pursue Pei Xingzhi, then to ensure the mission's completion, I will have no choice but to use this skill to control the host's body and complete the conquest mission in the host's place.]"
