A sudden shift in global consciousness.

In the previous worlds, the bad ones were bad, and the good ones were good; at least the worldline was discernible. But in this small world, the difference between good and bad is no longer apparent from the worldline alone.

The Way of Heaven also evolves.

Chu Zhuo pats the little bird: [001, can you get close to the female lead? Xi Zhihe is fully awake; go and check on her unusual behavior.]

001 The little wing tries its best to salute the bird's head: [Mission accomplished.]

The bustling areas of Shanghai are concentrated in just a few places. Not long after, 001 flew back to report: [Host, the female lead's aura makes the bird very uncomfortable; it repelled the bird's presence even before getting close.]

Chu Zhuo felt reassured: "Thanks for your hard work, 001. I'll get you double fries tonight."

001 happily exclaimed: "I want the ketchup flavor!"

The female lead definitely knows that he woke up.

But it doesn't matter, from the moment he arrived in this world, everything the female protagonist wanted to achieve would come to an end.

Not long after being discharged from the hospital, Chu Zhuo secretly sent people to investigate Bai Ning and Gu Hanyou.

Gu Hanyou can withstand scrutiny; there are no major problems.

Bai Ning is different from before. Her information is no longer superficial like a fake, perfect resume, but has become an ambiguous net. It is obvious that something is wrong, but it seems that there is an invisible hand covering everything in the dark... So it is the way of heaven.

Xi Zhihe regained consciousness, and Bai Ning was unconsciously affected. In less than half a month, all the information that had been mysteriously covered up in the past was revealed.

The countless targeted plans made the veins in Yu Suili's neck bulge, his eyes bloodshot, and his fists pounded hard on the table: "Zhuobao, what are you going to do?"

"Let's get everything back on track." Chu Zhuo's eyes turned cold. "She deserves the retribution she has."

The ways of Heaven turn sour, and the chosen protagonist is of the same ilk.

The female protagonist of this world, through the favor of Heaven, has researched metaphysics.

The client wasn't approached by Bai Ning out of the blue; he was Aunt Bai's child who had disappeared years ago.

When the client was five or six years old, Bai Ning's protagonist aura came into play, persuading everyone to take the younger brother out to play alone. Pretending it was for play, she secretly led the client to get lost and created the illusion that they had accidentally separated.

Who would believe that an eight or nine-year-old child could be so malicious? Aunt Bai didn't see through her intentions and still didn't like Bai Ning. No one likes a child who has lost their own child.

After several twists and turns, the person who made the request was found by Grandma Pei.

Back then, the internet was underdeveloped and surveillance coverage was incomplete. After the Pei family reported the incident to the police, no one came to look for them. As time went on, the police station decided to send them to a nearby welfare home.

Grandma Pei couldn't bear to see such a tiny child squeezed into a room with a group of people, so she offered to adopt him.

The client's ending up in the Pei family was not random; he was deliberately kept there.

Pei, a homophone for "compensation," suggests that Heaven is secretly paving the way for the protagonist.

After Grandma Pei's accident, Heaven sent Bai Ning another dream, subtly revealing the true identity of the person who made the request through the dream.

Two or three years ago, Aunt Bai inexplicably developed a fondness for Bai Ning, paving the way for her and providing her with resources, all because Bai Ning had cast a curse on Aunt Bai.

Now, using Aunt Bai's hair as a blood sample, and with the client's surname being pressured by a homonym implied by the subconscious of the Heavenly Dao, she has successfully cursed Aunt Bai's biological child.

This led to the client's memory of losing consciousness and not being able to recall how the incident happened.

A car accident that happened for no apparent reason. There were no serious injuries, only minor scratches, but he just couldn't wake up. His soul was trapped on the street where the accident happened, wasting away day after day.

The client's soul left his body, and his spirit gradually dissipated. In contrast, Bai Ning's career steadily rose, and each step she took became more solid.

Years later, her relationship with Gu Hanyou naturally progressed, and she drained the client of his last bit of energy, leaving him utterly terrified.

The information won't reveal the Heavenly Dao's hidden hand, but Bai Ning's strangeness is enough to keep people on their guard.

Modern people believe in science. As long as Bai Ning doesn't use metaphysical methods in public, if she goes to the police station with the reason of casting a spell, the police will not accept the case and will even ask her to go to a mental hospital to have her brain checked.

Secondly, no useful information can be found at all, because this small world has no supernatural elements or mystical arts; it is just a small world set in a modern city.

All those who claim to have such skills are charlatans; only Bai Ning, favored by Heaven, has managed to develop metaphysics.

Seeing the boy's confident expression, Yu Suili asked, "Does Zhuobao have a solution?"

Since this world doesn't believe in metaphysics, dealing with her in the same way won't be noticed as unusual.

Chu Zhuo nodded: "Yes."

*

Although Bai Ning was highly regarded by Aunt Bai, she did not move into the main Bai family residence. This was the only place Aunt Bai could hold onto during her precarious Qingming period.

After getting married, Bai Ning never came back.

The servants all said that Aunt Bai had raised an ungrateful child, but Aunt Bai couldn't stand these words, so over time everyone just kept them to themselves.

Chu Zhuo first visited Aunt Bai.

Aunt Bai is nearly fifty years old, but her face doesn't show any signs of aging. It's clear that she was naturally beautiful and has taken good care of herself.

When Bai Ning was mentioned, Aunt Bai said with tenderness, "Xiao Ning is a good child. I have high hopes for her character and abilities. I am at ease entrusting the future of the Bai family to her."

Chu Zhuo pinched Aunt Bai's thumb and forefinger, her clear voice piercing through some invisible barrier, carrying a hint of probing: "Aunt Bai, I heard that Bai Ning and Gu Hanyou had a fight recently. Think about it carefully, the Bai family's affairs are of great importance. Is she the only one you can't live without?"

"What are you saying?" Aunt Bai's face froze for a moment, then her brows furrowed. She pulled her hand away unhappily, looked at Chu Zhuo with a distant attitude, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "That girl Bai Ning is closer to me than my own mother. The Bai family will naturally be given to her. She is my only daughter. Your attempts to sow discord will be useless."

Yu Suili glanced at him worriedly, and Chu Zhuo gently shook his head.

Aunt Bai's situation is different from Xi Zhihe's. He will hold back for the time being and continue to maintain a good relationship with Aunt Bai on the surface.

Gradually, Aunt Bai got used to his presence.

On the day he was leaving, Chu Zhu knelt on Aunt Bai's lap as a junior, looking up at her with admiration: "Aunt Bai, I have something I'd like to ask you. If Bai Ning asks you for her hair, please give her this strand."

The hair was found by Chu Zhuo from Bai Ning's biological mother.

Bai Ning currently has no doubts about Aunt Bai. If someone is attacked when their beliefs are at their strongest, then the greater the malice, the more severe the backlash.

For some reason, Chu Zhuo's appearance made Aunt Bai's chest ache, her eyes welled up with tears, and her hand unconsciously fell to the top of Chu Zhuo's head, gently stroking it: "Okay."

The maid went to see the guests off.

The more senior nanny, Sun, sighed regretfully, "Madam, I think Mr. Pei treats you better than Miss Bai."

Aunt Bai smiled gently: "Xiao Zhuo is a very lovable child. My heart always feels warm whenever I see him."

Huh? Why isn't there a fierce rebuttal like usual?

Grandma Sun asked in surprise, "Madam, do you really think so?"

In recent years, the lady seems to have been bewitched, treating a complete stranger as her own child, even though he is from a collateral branch of the family and ultimately has no blood relation to her.

Especially since the young master was lost by the other party back then.

Madam clearly disliked Bai Ning before, and sometimes Sun Ma really couldn't understand what Madam valued in Bai Ning...

Now that I see this, is there a chance for things to turn around?
