My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Back home, Elidl didn't rest. Instead, he took out his computer and started typing away.

The sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard echoed in the room, and strings of code flashed rapidly across the computer screen. Soon, the face of the man who had cast a black spell on him, rendering him unable to speak freely, appeared on the computer screen.

He used advanced technology to reconstruct this person's face and posted it on a series of major social media platforms. He also created a mini-program specifically designed to generate countless headlines to smear him based on the traffic trends of various platforms.

Everything was normal at first, and even the mini-program that automatically pushed notifications and used semi-coercive methods to attract traffic started running.

Elidl firmly believed that within a day, that guy would be completely ruined online, becoming a universally despised piece of trash. Then, all sorts of cyberbullying would follow, something no normal person could withstand. Ha! That's what happens when you offend Elidl.

However, less than half an hour after the message was sent out, his phone rang immediately.

"Hello, is this Mr. Elieder? This is suspected of involving illegal online activities, violating international cybersecurity law. We are from the information department of a major Eastern country, and we are in contact with your relevant departments to jointly develop cybersecurity technology. You have seriously violated cybersecurity law. We are giving you one day to immediately turn yourself in to the nearest relevant department; otherwise, we will come directly to your home to arrest you!"

The words spoken over the phone stunned Elidell, who was used to manipulating speech online.

He stared at his phone in disbelief. How could this be?
How did he get targeted so quickly?
Considering the unspoken rules of the internet, if sensitive individuals are involved, it will indeed attract the attention of relevant internet authorities and lead to close monitoring and investigation.

The East Asian man he thought he could easily smear turned out to be a key figure at the national level in the online world.

An overwhelming sense of fear welled up inside him. He swallowed hard, recalling the scenes from his encounter with that man. He thought to himself that he hadn't really offended the man much, and even if he had, the man had taken his revenge and shouldn't be targeting him anymore.

For the next few days, he kept a very low profile, cooperated with the investigation, explained the whole story, promised not to do it again, and then reported to the company, thus starting his job. He maintained a friendly demeanor, appearing at the company as a very low-key yet talented newcomer.

The feeling of being popular made him temporarily forget his hobby of swearing online.

However, not long after, a more talented newcomer joined the company, and that newcomer was very beautiful, the type that everyone liked.

The woman's name was Zhang Xiaoning. She was an East Asian woman with a very delicate and beautiful appearance. She exuded a gentle aura, and her smile was as warm and gentle as the moon.

Moreover, she is very capable at work, and even her boss has praised her several times.

Zhang Xiaoning performed exceptionally well on the latest project. At the awards ceremony, the boss personally awarded her a substantial bonus.

In contrast, Zhang Xiaoning received far less prize money.

At the company gathering after get off work, Zhang Xiaoning's colleagues surrounded her with smiles. She seemed a little shy, answering questions with a bashful expression, her words conveying gratitude for the care she received from her colleagues.

This scenery should have belonged to me, but it's all this woman's fault. She stole the glory that was rightfully mine as soon as she arrived.

Jealousy welled up uncontrollably from the bottom of her heart, and Elidell pretended to celebrate her great success just like everyone else.

Zhang Xiaoning smiled and thanked him for his congratulations. After drinking and having fun, everyone went home. It might not be safe for Zhang Xiaoning, a young woman, to go home alone at night, so someone offered to take her home.

Zhang Xiaoning smiled shyly: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for everyone? After all, everyone has to go to work tomorrow, and I'd feel really bad about it. Don't worry, I can handle it all by myself."

The others, having been refused, didn't say anything more. Elidel, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "I'll take you home. My work is easy anyway, so a little delay won't hurt. But girls should be careful at night."

Zhang Xiaoning thanked him shyly for his kindness: "Then I'll trouble you, Ellidel."

Elidl displayed the gentlemanly manners expected of a man: "It's nothing, it's what I should do."

The crowd whistled and praised Elidel's gentlemanly manners.

On the way home, Elidell behaved very mediocrely, showing no particular favoritism.

When Zhang Xiaoning arrived at her doorstep, she glanced at him with some surprise, thinking to herself, "This guy really just wanted to bring me home."

But it doesn't matter. I only went to work for that company because I needed to get something from them.

Zhang Xiaoning waved goodbye to him and turned to go back to her room.

The lights turned on automatically as soon as the door opened. Zhang Xiaoming, dressed in his pajamas, sat on the sofa in the middle of the living room, looking annoyed: "Why are you so late? If you were any later, I would have bent down to check on you myself!"

They are twins who can possess each other's bodies.

In order to investigate those old archives online, Zhang Xiaoning went to work for a network company that cooperated with relevant intelligence agencies, hoping to take the opportunity to slowly infiltrate the internal network and look at their old archives.

"Don't worry, I'm not like that helpless child I used to be. I can now control my own life and death, so why are you still so afraid?"

While comforting her only remaining relative, Zhang Xiaoning sat down on the sofa, ruffled his hair, and said with a soft laugh, "This case was actually reported back then, but someone deliberately suppressed it, so the relevant departments didn't bother with it. We... we must find all those who suppressed this case back then, and let them know what it means for a vengeful ghost to take revenge even after ten years!"

When it came to revenge, Zhang Xiaoming became much more energetic: "Have you found any useful information?"

Zhang Xiaoning punched him on the shoulder and complained irritably, "Do you think the workplace is so easy? I've only been here a short time, okay?"

Upon recalling the man he had glimpsed at the door earlier, Zhang Xiaoming immediately became wary and asked, "What exactly happened with that person? Why did he bring you back? Didn't I tell you not to get too involved with human men? Those men are completely unreliable; don't fall for their tricks!"

He looked at the other person with the eyes one would use to look at a fool blinded by love.

Zhang Xiaoning snorted irritably, "Love means nothing to me. You are the only reason for my existence. You are the closest person to me in this world! We are each other's only support. If anyone else dares to offend me, I will not show any mercy."

These words reassured Zhang Xiaoming a little: "That's good! There's not a single good human being. That guy is probably searching for us all over the city lately, so we have to be careful. You also have to be careful in your actions. Don't use ghost magic unless necessary, otherwise the ghost energy will leak out and easily attract that person's attention."

Zhang Xiaoning nodded in response, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. After all, I'm a normal person now, with a human body and a social identity. I won't do anything reckless." "You're a human now, and humans need to sleep on time. Go take a shower and go to bed. Don't stay up late, or it'll be bad for your health."

"Really? I feel perfectly energetic and don't need any rest at all!"

"Shut up!"

After taking a nap, Zhang Xiaoning arrived at the company the next day and met Elidel, who had come with her.

Ellidel greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, Ning."

This person is quite polite.

Zhang Xiaoning responded with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Ellidel."

"I brought breakfast. If you haven't had any, you can try it. It tastes pretty good."

Zhang Xiaoning smiled and handed him the breakfast she was holding.

Ellidel initially wanted to refuse, but seeing a colleague walk by, he rolled his eyes, smiled, and accepted the breakfast: "Thank you so much. You are such a gentle woman, Ning. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."

Over the next few days, because Ellidel was very friendly, Zhang Xiaoning treated him very well out of politeness.

Actually, this was just basic workplace politeness, but because Zhang Xiaoning wasn't usually this polite to other colleagues, everyone assumed she had feelings for Ellidel.

During the lunch break that day, in the tea room, Ellidel saw Zhang Xiaoning. She was drinking tea and reading a book, exuding the refined air of a scholar.

Ellidel walked over and sat down opposite her: "I've read this book. It's not very good. Many of the viewpoints in it are terrible. Only people with no taste would read such a bad book. I didn't expect your taste to be so bad!"

How could Ellidel, who always behaves so politely, say such a thing?

For a moment, Zhang Xiaoning thought she had misheard: "What did you say?"

There were no security cameras here, so he revealed his true colors without any hesitation, giving Zhang Xiaoning a malicious and mean smile.

"I'm telling you, you're a yellow-skinned pig, always reading these tasteless books, what a piece of trash! You got a job at this company, so you started pretending to read, right? Heh, you must have some kind of deal with your boss behind the scenes, right? Otherwise, how could you be parachuted into such an important position? I bet you have an improper relationship with him, otherwise why would you always get bonuses?"

It seems I didn't mishear; rather, I've been misjudging people all along.

This man named Elidl is a complete scumbag.

Zhang Xiaoning remembered that she was still human, and retorted with a forced smile: "I thought you were a polite person, but I didn't expect you to spew such filth the moment you opened your mouth. It's disgusting. Are all Western men this disgusting? Well, that makes sense. After all, you talk about gender equality on the surface, but in reality, you're better at workplace discrimination than anyone else!"

"Your work ability is inferior to mine, and out of resentment, you maliciously speculate that I have a power-for-sex deal with my boss. You can't stand that I stole your limelight, so you deliberately put me down verbally. Your methods are really despicable. To be honest, I thought you could continue to pretend. You have really disappointed me."

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, and Elidel suddenly revealed a strange smile.

He was furious that his sarcasm had failed to hurt the woman.

But then a thought struck him, and he had a better idea.

Ha ha!

He suddenly unbuttoned his suit jacket, loosened his tie, making himself look extremely disheveled, then rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Xiaoning's hand, dragged her to a corner by the door, and acted as if he had been harassed by her!

Zhang Xiaoning had never encountered this situation before, and for a moment she stared at him with wide eyes and curiosity.

The colleagues who came in through the door saw Ellidel angrily push Zhang Xiaoning away.

"I've already said that I just want to focus on my work right now and don't want to develop any relationship with you. Please don't use work as an excuse to threaten me; it's really bothering me!"

He had barely finished speaking when he seemed to notice his colleagues behind him. His expression shifted several times before he finally forced a smile through gritted teeth: "Sorry, we were just joking, saying she was playing a role-playing game... so I..."

As if he couldn't come up with a better excuse, Elidl turned and left in a disheveled state, almost as if he were fleeing: "I have something to do, I'll go first."

Zhang Xiaoning blinked and looked at the crowd. The people looked at her with all sorts of strange, gossipy, and excited expressions, but they all held back and made excuses to leave one by one.

Zhang Xiaoning looked thoughtfully in the direction he left. It seems that humans are indeed restless creatures.

Sure enough, gossip quickly spread throughout the company, and Zhang Xiaoning, as the protagonist of the gossip, became the focus of everyone's discussion, but not in a positive light.

Especially her female colleagues, who looked at her with haughty arrogance. At work, one of the female colleagues next to her asked with a smile, "I've heard that if a woman hasn't been in a relationship for a long time, she might become a little abnormal. The way you are now seems to fit that description. Why are you so obsessed with Elidel?"

Zhang Xiaoning turned her head and revealed a gentle smile: "I don't care about that man. What he does has nothing to do with me. The rumors circulating in the company are just someone trying to slander me. Someone is pulling strings behind my back."

This statement made the female colleague, who had just been about to listen to gossip, freeze slightly: "No way, who would do such a thing?"

According to general logical reasoning, whoever benefits is very likely to be the mastermind behind it all.

The female colleague thought about it for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be many real beneficiaries in this matter.

As for slander, there seems to be no need to do that, right? After all, this isn't the conservative East. As long as things are explained clearly, people might laugh, but it won't cause any serious negative impact. (End of Chapter)
