Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

But I'll tell you, there are a few places where spiritual dust can easily hide. I'll show you, and from now on, you can learn my method and clean these places once a month, and the situation won't become too serious.

Unbeknownst to him, Old Chen's body was also stained with dark spiritual dust. His originally neat and elegant attire was now covered with a layer of black, especially the white shirt on his chest, which was the most obvious and visible sign of this.

The chest area contrasts sharply with the rest of the shirt, one being gray-black, while the other area, covered by the suit jacket, remains white.

Compared to Manager Liu, who was wearing a dustproof suit, his appearance looked more disheveled.

However, Old Chen's face and hair remained unchanged from beginning to end.

Old Chen was cleaning, while Manager Liu assisted him, doing mundane tasks such as tidying up small areas and handing Old Chen tools.

Soon, Old Chen had cleaned the house thoroughly.

He never imagined that the ice-breaking moment between him and Manager Liu today would be due to helping each other clean.

This was something he had never anticipated.

Later, when Manager Liu saw that Old Chen's clothes were dirty, he chuckled and covered his mouth.

Perhaps this is the first time I've seen someone like Lao Chen so affected by cleaning.

She asked Lao Chen to take off his clothes. Lao Chen was a little shocked. Had things progressed so quickly between them? They'd already gotten to the point of taking off their clothes?

If Zhang Chaoqiang were here now, he would definitely have nothing to say to Lao Chen, because without a doubt, Lao Chen's despicable thoughts are most likely related to his parents.

They still led me astray.

Manager Liu patted Old Chen on the shoulder and said with a hint of complaint, "What are you talking about? I meant that I was washing your clothes, and it would be embarrassing if they got dirty..."

"Need not…"

"need!"

Manager Liu immediately started undressing Old Chen, and in the end Old Chen gave in and put on a bathrobe that Manager Liu had prepared for him.

The washing machine and dryer, powered by spiritual energy, along with the secret cleaning agent that Old Chen had just used to clean and absorb spiritual dust, can effectively and quickly wash and dry clothes in less than ten minutes.

Looking at the ticking clock on the wall, it was almost 6:30. Manager Liu fiddled with the dryer for a while...

Lay Old Chen's entire outfit—suit jacket, trousers, and shirt—flat on the ironing table.

Just as the red-hot iron was about to land on Old Chen's clothes, he reacted quickly and pounced to stop it.

"Wait! We haven't added water yet, and the iron at this temperature will burn a hole in the clothes!"

It seemed that Manager Liu didn't do housework often, and Old Chen shook his head, deciding to do it himself.

But Manager Liu wouldn't allow it: "Let me do it. You just cleaned the whole room for me, I should do something for you too!"

Although Lao Chen wanted to say, "Your help will only make things busier," he ultimately couldn't find the words.

He ended up guiding Manager Liu from the sidelines, even though this was much more tiring than doing it himself…

Immediately after finishing everything, it was almost seven o'clock, and the two rushed downstairs.

Their destination was the riverside, where they had long heard of a picturesque restaurant, but unfortunately, due to Manager Liu's previous work, they were unable to visit.

They had always wanted to try, but ultimately had no chance because they stopped accepting new guests after seven o'clock.

But today is the official start of the annual leave, and Manager Liu, who works in the catering industry, finally has time to have dinner with Lao Chen.

However, when he sat down in the restaurant, Manager Liu seemed a little uneasy. Nowadays, Old Chen no longer had the same mindset as before, thinking about the guidance and communication strategies that Zhang Huolong had given him.

Therefore, they have more free mental activity and more time to pay attention to each other.

He also noticed Manager Liu's unusual behavior, and without even thinking, there was only one possibility.

Manager Liu was still suffering from the trauma caused by Lao Chen a couple of days ago. Although she originally intended to refuse Lao Chen, she was still touched by his act of helping her clean.

So in the end, I accepted Lao Chen's apology.

Old Chen figured it out.

The other party was afraid that Old Chen would suddenly act like he'd gone mad again, right there in the lobby, in front of dozens of tables of guests…

Then some strange and unusual dances started up on the scene.

As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. If there really is a third time, then the two people will never cross paths again.

Even if Manager Liu fled abroad, she would still try to escape the harm that Old Chen had done to her.

Old Chen awkwardly covered it up with a slight laugh, then touched his nose and explained, "Actually, my actions the other day weren't my conscious choice."

Rather, it's because he's been possessed by a ghost. As you know, the stronger a person is, the more spirits they attract…

"A spirit?" Manager Liu's pupils shrank instantly, as if he had been startled.

The so-called spirit body is the wisp of spiritual energy left behind by a deceased martial artist or demon beast.

This kind of spiritual power is usually accompanied by the original owner's resentment towards the world; in reality, it has lost all consciousness.

So what people call ghosts are actually all sorts of random spirits.

But of course, this was all made up by Lao Chen himself. If you think about it carefully, you can find the clues. After all, Lao Chen has never been a person who knows how to lie.

However, in this respect, what Lao Chen said wasn't entirely false; his behavior did indeed resemble the feeling of being possessed by a ghost.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei are ghosts. Their bad ideas have backfired on them, so isn't that like being possessed by a ghost?

It was through this explanation that Old Chen was able to somewhat alleviate Manager Liu's concerns.

This is only a small amount.

For martial artists, being possessed by a ghost still provides some way to deal with it.

However, when faced with Lao Chen standing in the crowd again and starting that bizarre dance, it becomes an absolutely unsolvable problem.

Old Chen sighed as he looked at Manager Liu, who still seemed somewhat apprehensive and worried.

He waved and asked the waiter to change his room to a private room.

This made Manager Liu more or less able to accept it.

During the nearly one-hour dinner, Lao Chen didn't really like to talk or chat.

This ability to maintain a proper balance between himself and the food is something that Manager Liu appreciates about Lao Chen.

Because she originally worked in the catering industry, she is more sensitive to this kind of behavior.

Naturally, he developed a strong liking for Lao Chen's healthy and enjoyable eating habits.

They were there throughout the entire meal.

They didn't say much; they mostly just waited for the food to arrive.

Their conversation was the same as it had been at the tavern yesterday, and even more varied.

As the head chef, Lao Chen and the others exchanged ideas about different cuisines.

When the dishes are freshly cooked and served, he will comment on their color, aroma, and taste, and exchange ideas with Manager Liu.

However, when the dish entered his mouth, Old Chen fell silent. Manager Liu could only judge his opinion of the dish by observing his facial expressions and actions.

Old Chen's expression told her that the movements that human facial muscles can perform are actually quite ingenious.

There are many facial expressions and gestures that Manager Liu couldn't come up with, but Old Chen can do them too.

For the first time, she was able to perceive a person's complete evaluation of a dish from nothingness...

When Lao Chen put the food in his mouth, he pursed his lips and frowned slightly, indicating that the taste was slightly different from what he had expected.

After chewing slightly, the cheeks on both sides rose and fell continuously. After chewing a few times, the brows suddenly relaxed.

The feeling was like a gentle spring breeze, as if flowers were blooming on Old Chen's cheeks, making one unable to smell or hear any sounds...

You can also clearly feel the taste that Lao Chen is enjoying, with the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy flavors reflected on his face.

Manager Liu's eyes were increasingly drawn to Old Chen's face.

After meal.

They talked about cooking, food, and various astronomical and geographical topics.

But most of the time, it was Old Chen who did the talking, and Manager Liu listened silently. Old Chen was that kind of person; once he mentioned his area of ​​expertise...

He then launched into a long and detailed explanation.

But in reality, he didn't think it was a good habit, because he didn't think any woman would like his endless stream of words once he got into a conversation.

However, given everything Manager Liu had experienced in front of Old Chen, his behavior was perfectly normal.

Similarly, Zhang Chaoqiang also thought there was no problem.

Because Lao Chen's own conditions are already excellent enough, and he can perform normally and consistently, even if he has some minor flaws, it won't be a problem at all.

As long as it's not the bizarre behavior he exhibited before, Lao Chen is actually a very good person.

Perhaps it was the stark contrast that made Manager Liu realize that even facing the nagging Old Chen now was such a beautiful and rare scene.

Everything is getting better, and their impressions of each other are gradually improving; it seems Zhang Chaoqiang's idea is really working...

Old Chen thought to himself that he had seemingly won over Manager Liu's heart.

On the other side, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue, led by Bai Lu and Huang Feng, had already traversed a remote mountain forest in Zhongzhou City.

It's worth mentioning that even with Zhang Chao's exceptional mental memory, there was no way he could remember the entire route he had just taken.

"When did it start...?"

He discovered that after entering this remote, somewhat neglected mountain forest, the scenery outside the window kept changing, as if it possessed a special magic, or perhaps it was the unique feature of this mountain forest.

Zhang Chaoqiang had completely forgotten the way he came.

Bai Lu, who was ahead, didn't forget to remind him: "I forgot to mention, due to the confidentiality of the Investigation Bureau, the exact location of the headquarters has been concealed using a special formation."

In other words, we are now traveling through a maze leading to headquarters.

So don't keep your eyes glued to the window; those non-existent views will make you dizzy!

After saying that, he was surprised to find that Zhang Chaoqiang, who was looking out the window, seemed to have no effect on him at all.

However, Tan Yue, who was next to him, was clearly in much worse condition. If Zhang Chaoqiang paid close attention, he could see that the pupils of her eyes were rotating.

It's like the dizziness that happens in cartoons. And indeed, Tan Yue is currently experiencing dizziness.

Her mind was hazy, as if she was still immersed in a constantly changing scene without any warning or clue.

After listening to Bai Lu's explanation, Zhang Chaoqiang grabbed Tan Yue's arm.
