After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

Chen Zhuo quickly returned to the villa. When he opened the door, the villa was silent, which made him feel a little lonely.

In the past, when Zhuo Fan was around, the villa was not exactly lively, but it was never this desolate.

Only then did Chen Zhuo realize that he had unknowingly gotten used to the days when Zhuo Fan, this lively character, was around.

A moment later, Chen Zhuo settled the calamity crow, then returned to his bedroom to wash up and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, he planned to go to the branch office and hand over the crow clone to Wan Guanhai.

After tidying up briefly, Chen Zhuo left the villa.

Just as he was about to get into the car, his phone suddenly rang.

"It's Ruan Ning's voice call."

The Mirror Ghost moved to the phone and connected to a voice call. Ruan Ning's voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Chen, I have already spoken to the chairman about your matter. The chairman said he has time this afternoon to meet with you to discuss future cooperation."

I'll pick you up from your place around 3 PM. Where are you currently staying?

"The specific location of Area C in the Green Sea Villa District is..."

Chen Zhuo gave Ruan Ning the villa's address and then sent her the villa's location.

After receiving the address, Ruan Ning hung up the phone.

At that moment, Chen Zhuo arrived at the branch building and went to Wan Guanhai's office.

"Minister Wan, I didn't know how many people from the branch were on field duty, so I took a few extra. Please count them."

Upon seeing the feathers on the table, Wan Guanhai excitedly reached out and grasped Chen Zhuo's right hand.

"Advisor Chen, on behalf of everyone in the branch, thank you! With the Calamity Raven, the branch's casualty rate will definitely be reduced!"

After expressing his gratitude, Wan Guanhai ordered his men to count the number of feathers and keep them safe.

Seeing Wan Guanhai talking nonstop, Chen Zhuo quickly waved his hand to signal him to stop.

"Minister Wan, besides bringing you the feather, I have another question for you today."

Have any strange incidents occurred recently that require my assistance in resolving on behalf of the branch?

Now that the rust hospital problem is resolved and Bai Feifei's danger is over, the branch staff will be there to protect her, so there shouldn't be any problems. It's time for her to go find her other friends' families.

Wan Guanhai was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chen Zhuo as if he were looking at a monster.

"Consultant Chen, aren't you tired? I haven't seen you take a break since I met you."

Seeing Chen Zhuo shake his head, he stopped dwelling on it and began to answer Chen Zhuo's questions.

"Dachang City has been relatively peaceful recently, and most of the known strange incidents are nearing their end."

There's nothing strange going on; we don't need Consultant Chen's help.

I will notify you immediately if anything happens so you can help resolve it.

Chen Zhuo didn't say much upon hearing this. Although he wanted to find the relatives of the remaining three as soon as possible, he didn't want to see more strange events occur.

Moreover, Wan Guanhai is right; I seem to be too tense. I should take this time to rest.

After leaving the branch building, Chen Zhuo called Zhuo Fan to ask when he would be discharged from the hospital.

"The doctor said that once this IV drip is finished, I should be able to go home around noon."

"Okay, I'll pick you up then."

Hearing Chen Zhuo's words, Zhuo Fan seemed very happy, his voice filled with laughter.

"Thank you, sir! But you can't go straight back to the villa after being discharged. The groceries I bought earlier will have gone to waste. You'll need to buy more before you go back. I'll cook you a big meal afterwards!"

"You just rest and relax. Leave the grocery shopping to me. I'll pick you up after I'm done. What would you like to eat?"

Chen Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle softly, his usual coldness lessening somewhat.

After Zhuo Fan finished giving instructions, Chen Zhuo drove to the market and bought the necessary ingredients.

When the appointed time arrived, he went to the hospital and picked up Zhuo Fan, taking him back to the villa.

"Hey bro, I need to pick up a package before I go back to the villa. I ordered it before I was hospitalized, it should have arrived by now."

"What delivery service?"

When Chen Zhuo asked him a question, Zhuo Fan smiled mysteriously.

"You'll find out soon enough, buddy."

After arriving at the courier point, the two returned to the villa.

"It's only been a few days since I came back, but it feels like months have passed."

Zhuo Fan took a deep breath, casually placed the package on the coffee table, and went upstairs with his belongings.

"Hey bro, I'll go put my things down first, then I'll come down and cook for you. If you can, could you help me prepare these vegetables so I can cook them right away?"

Chen Zhuo nodded in agreement. Seeing Zhuo Fan enter the room, he immediately went to the coffee table and took the package in his hand.

Based on its size and feel, Chen Zhuo judged that it was a textile.

However, out of respect, Chen Zhuo did not delve into it further, since Zhuo Fan had already said he would tell him anyway.

With that in mind, Chen Zhuo went to the kitchen and began processing the ingredients he had bought.

After finishing with the last one, Zhuo Fan came downstairs.

"Hey buddy, how much did you pay for these dishes?"

"Ninety-six yuan and eighty cents."

"How much?!" Zhuo Fan looked at the ingredients in front of him, which were nearly 90% vegetables, and immediately showed a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey buddy, I'll take care of grocery shopping from now on."

With my silver tongue, these dishes will cost no more than forty dollars!

As he spoke, Zhuo Fan began to cook.

Half an hour later, the three dishes and one soup were brought to the table.

After the two of them had a hearty meal, Zhuo Fan sat down on the sofa and opened the package on the coffee table.

As Chen Zhuo had suspected, the item inside was a textile.

However, to his surprise, this was not an ordinary piece of clothing, but a Spider-Man bodysuit!

"Why did you buy this?"

Chen Zhuo really couldn't understand what Zhuo Fan's brain circuits were, so he could only wait for him to explain it to him.

Zhuo Fan helplessly pointed to the human body jigsaw puzzle in the corner of the living room, which was quietly facing the wall in contemplation.

"It's all because of this guy. A few nights ago, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and saw him right in front of me as soon as I stepped out. After that, I went to take a shower and change my pants."

Chen Zhuo: ...

"So I thought I'd grab something to block it."

"Speaking of which, I have an idea." Chen Zhuo walked up to the human body jigsaw puzzle.

"This villa is too big. It's not easy for you to clean it on a regular basis. Why don't you let this guy help you?"

"Huh? Is it possible?" Zhuo Fan hesitated upon hearing this.

Chen Zhuo nodded: "It's been so long, it must have become obedient by now."

Chen Zhuo immediately released the restraints and told the Human Puzzle his idea. The Human Puzzle repeatedly assured him and then voluntarily put on the Spider-Man bodysuit.

Time flew by and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Zhuo said goodbye to Zhuo Fan and left the villa.

Ruan Ning had been waiting outside for a long time, and immediately went to greet Chen Zhuo when he came out.

The two greeted each other and then got into Ruan Ning's car to head to the Ironthorn Guild.

"Currently, there are four people in the guild who have pushed the gate open, including myself. Two of them are the guild leader and the vice guild leader."

Before arriving at the guild, Ruan Ning gave Chen Zhuo a brief introduction to the current situation of the Ironthorn Guild.

"Besides the four of us who pushed open the door, there were more than a dozen other people in the industry who knew about the strange occurrences."

With Ruan Ning's explanation, Chen Zhuo gained a preliminary understanding of the Ironthorn Guild.

Of the four people who pushed the door open, the last one was Qin Feng, known as the Ghost Fang, who fought with Chen Zhuo in the scenic area that day.

Chen Zhuo didn't have much emotion towards this person.

It is understandable to fight against competitors for one's own benefit.

As long as it doesn't involve people you care about, there's no question of hatred.

As they spoke, Ruan Ning's car gradually slowed down and finally stopped in front of a two-story building.
