Chu Yinan shook her head: "No, Aunt Liu is better in terms of looks, figure, and personality~"

The voluptuous and sexy woman then smiled again, affectionately kissed Chu Yinan's lips, and asked again, "Is Aunt Liu better, or Yu Tang?"

"Hey, Mom!" Bei Yutang couldn't sit still anymore; they'd started fighting amongst themselves!

"I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face yet, my mouth is so sore, I'm going to wash up first!" Seeing that things were not going well, Chu Yinan quickly made a run for it.

After dawdling over washing his face and having breakfast, the topic of the phone was dropped. Chu Yinan now seemed to dislike the phone filled with strange notebooks, so he simply banished it to the back of the closet and used the new device that AI had given him.

"Chu Yinan, your Aunt Liu and I have discussed what happened last night. It's not good to keep an eye on you all the time, but you can't go out alone at night anymore, and you have to eat dinner at home. Can you guarantee that?"

"This is fine." Chu Yinan wolfed down the sandwich, only then remembering that he hadn't eaten a proper dinner the night before. "Is there any breakfast left? I'm still hungry."

"I didn't prepare anything extra, I'll take you to eat later." Yan Liu took out a tissue and gently wiped his mouth.

After finishing his meal, Chu Yinan drank a glass of high-calcium milk. Suddenly, he noticed a notification on the small screen of the new phone the AI ​​had given him: a bonus from the Twin Islands Council had been deposited into his personal account.

Chapter 89 On the Way to Work

Sitting in the car on the way to the company, Chu Yinan pondered for nearly thirty seconds before timidly asking:

"Aunt Liu, Yu Tang, I received a bonus from the council. I'm going to text some acquaintances in the prosecutor's office to ask about the situation. What do you think?"

This was clearly a question about Shibuya Yi, but considering the mother and daughter's rejection last night, Chu Yinan was now avoiding the question by name.

"Go ahead and ask. We can continue to see each other as usual, but you have to tell us first and go home for dinner." Bei Yutang agreed, her resentment not as strong as it had been yesterday.

Last night's situation would have made anyone somewhat angry with the prosecutor's office and the police station. Now that I've calmed down, I've rationally let it go and understand that Shibuya didn't do anything wrong, but I still feel a little repulsed emotionally.

"Okay~" Chu Yinan received a reply quickly after sending the message.

[Shibuya: This is the reward Representative Locke applied for for you, so please accept it. Representative Locke has regained consciousness, but he has a mild concussion from the hard blow to the head and is still hospitalized for observation.]

[Chu Yinan: That's good. What's the situation with Kim Geun-joon? Can I know about the investigation into him?]

If even the victims are completely unaware of the situation, then that's going too far.

[Shibuya Yi: Of course, the Kim Geun-jun case is quite complicated. You can think of him as a corporate spy, someone hired by the foreign company to secretly acquire their shares, achieving the goal of capital infiltration. We've already found out he's one of the operators of an extreme fan group on Twin Islands, copying the operating model from outside the island. We're still following his leads to uncover those groups, but we haven't made any progress on the medical school yet.]

The matter concerning the medical school naturally refers to the theft of the cadavers, the use of the remains of medical contributors as a tool for revenge and insult, and the uproar in the middle school cafeteria. Such a thing must be severely punished!

[Shibuya Giri: All this talk from me will only increase your curiosity, won't your mother and sister object?]

Even through the screen, Chu Yinan could sense the other person's apology and self-deprecation. However, the matter of the councilor was not something she could decide. The fact that the spraying incident occurred at the dinner location was purely coincidental, something no one wanted.

If she hadn't led him to his seat at the prosecutor's office, Chu Yinan felt he might have been sitting humiliatingly on the sidelines for days, unable to access Yu Tang's case, let alone support his sister at her book signing.

[Chu Yinan: They are all very understanding people. They were just overly worried about me at the time. Shibuya-nee, don't think too much about it. I should be thanking you in every way!]

After exchanging a few simple words, Shibuya Yi didn't want to be coy anymore and sent Chu Yinan a cut video that would automatically disappear in five minutes.

[Shibuya Gyou: This is the CCTV footage you wanted to see. I cut out the clip of the customer who appeared before you. You can watch it yourself. I have to go back to work.]

[Chu Yinan: Thank you!]

It's best to watch this kind of video secretly by yourself, but because of its time-limited nature, he quickly clicked to watch it and soon saw the mysterious first customer.

Just as the stew shop owner said, he was an oddball who was wearing a winter school uniform in the sweltering heat. Except for a gray skirt, he was almost entirely dressed in black, with black stockings on his legs, somewhat resembling his older sister who often wore black stockings and chubby legs.

Unfortunately, it was an ultra-wide-angle surveillance camera. Although it provided a much more comprehensive view, the image distortion was extremely severe. Chu Yinan couldn't see the girl's face clearly, and he couldn't even roughly estimate her figure. The image was so distorted that he couldn't understand why the cafeteria had to install such a shabby setup.

However, judging from that brief glimpse, the other person seemed to have red eyes? This kind of familial genetic trait is quite rare, so let's just remember it.

The remaining video also included footage from other cameras at the same time, but all of them exhibited static-like visuals. However, the surveillance footage returned to normal after the girl left.

Chu Yinan became increasingly depressed.

No, I'm not robbing you or anything. Sister, why are you being so secretive? Let's just go out, spend a few minutes buying a bottle of water, finish the task, and resolve the relationship. Wouldn't that be much better?

The video was eventually deleted automatically. Although he could ask Fu Xi for help to recover the data, Chu Yinan didn't want to bother with this neurotic, well-behaved girl anymore. Anyway, when he was urged to meet her, she would have to come out anyway.

Is it some kind of teenage angst or something? I hope she won't feel ashamed of what she's doing now after she graduates from that phase.

“I have money now! The council gave me a consolation payment. Next time, I’ll treat Aunt Liu and Yu Tang to dinner.” Sitting in the back seat, Chu Yinan, like someone with ADHD, reached out to touch the cheek of the aunt in the front seat and then pinched her sister’s ear.

“If Chu Yinan is treating me to dinner, then I definitely have to go!” Yan Liu patted Chu Yinan’s head to make him sit down and said with a smile, “But don’t order a whole table of coffee beans and lemon dishes!”

Bei Yutang's silence was a form of agreement, but she was clearly worried about the possibility her mother had mentioned. The tastes of this little brat in the family were truly not something that ordinary people could accept.

She tapped on the car's smart screen to read the news.

Local news is broadcasting the hostage situation that occurred at the cargo terminal last night. They even invited several eyewitnesses. It is said that the machinery at the terminal seemed to come alive at the time, swarming around that corner. The sound of the cranes operating was like a low growl, which was quite terrifying. For some reason, rumors have also spread that a naked, lame man was operating the machinery.

It feels like it's turning into an urban legend, but no matter how many legends are added, the only truly compelling urban legend is that of the Eight-Foot Man.

"Chu Nan, did you see that streaking man back then? Was it really as mysterious as these people are talking about?"

"What do you mean by 'streaking man'? That sounds awful!" Chu Yinan complained.

"It's not like I'm talking about you, why are you so concerned about this?"

"In the end, that person did help me out to some extent. It's not good to talk bad about him. Although I only saw his back, I'm afraid only my beauty in my youth could slightly surpass his." Chu Yinan secretly boasted to himself.

The older sister didn't mince words with her younger brother: "Your face hasn't changed in years, has it? If you're any younger, wouldn't you be counting from when you were a baby? You mean that streaking guy had a muscular body and a baby's head?"

Chu Yinan imagined it for a moment, and it seemed like a character that only appeared in absurd and bizarre works...

Yan Liu still dotes on her son, and chimed in, "But Xiao Chunan was also very handsome when he was little. It's a pity he wasn't with us yet. I specifically asked Qilin for a video of Xiao Chunan growing up. It's so fun. I sometimes take it out to watch in the office."

"How could there be such a terrifying thing? I had no idea!" Chu Yinan exclaimed in shock.

Chapter 90 A Chance Encounter with a Salesman

When Chu Yinan arrived at the company, perhaps because all the meetings were over, or perhaps because Yan Liu wanted to spend more time with the little one after such a terrible thing happened to him last night, he found that neither Yan Liu nor Bei Yutang were busy with their own work.

Once the office door was closed, this room, which reflected Yan Liu's personal taste, transformed into a living room. The mother and daughter accompanied Chu Yinan as they watched videos of him from his childhood.

These videos were originally intended as AI-generated parenting documentation, but Yan Liu ended up watching them as baby videos. Occasionally, when she was feeling down, she would glance at them, and all her bad moods would dissipate amidst the playful antics of the toddlers.

In his cub days, Chu Yinan's skin was even fairer than it is now, and a few tufts of hair in the middle stood up wildly, giving him a bit of an Ultraman vibe. Most of the videos of him were of him being ridden and bullied by his older and younger sisters, which was quite tragic.

However, in Yan Liu's eyes, this kind of "bullying" is actually just the babies hugging and playing together, which is quite interesting.

These babies born from Turing Tower possess exceptional good looks from a young age. Most of them embody the best aspects of human aesthetics, and each has their own unique characteristics, avoiding the cookie-cutter look common in some countries that rely heavily on cosmetic surgery.

“Little Chunan was very popular with the girls when she was little. In many videos, she’s sitting alone playing with her feet, and soon a few other babies come over to play with her. Last time, I even saw a baby with red eyes riding on Little Chunan’s face. She looked as cute as a little rabbit.” Yan Liu treasured these videos.

"Don't bring up that kind of dark history anymore!" Chu Yinan wanted to die, burying his head in his sister's black-stockinged legs. Only after the video finished playing did he stop pretending to be dead, raise his head and say, "Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong?" my sister asked.

"Are you aware that Congressman Locke was attacked at the restaurant?"

How could Yan Liu and Bei Yutang not know? After all, that happened before Chu Yinan disappeared, and as family members, the police would inevitably reveal some inside information to them. And now, the news media has begun reporting on yesterday's attack on the councilor. The most striking photos are of the pile of extremely smelly suits that customers had changed out of afterward; the yellowish-green stains were standing on the suit trousers, and these clothes filled the trash cans—it was quite horrifying.

"I know, what does this have to do with you suddenly saying 'something's wrong'?" Bei Yutang really didn't want to recall the photos from the scene; it was quite unappetizing.

“A prosecutor was originally a client of mine, and I planned to sell her a set during our meal. But then everyone in the restaurant started spraying me with saliva, so the sales pitch was delayed.”

Yan Liu thought it was something important, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to reduce the difficulty of her son's internship:

"Oh, is that what it is? How about I introduce you to some clients, and then you can go over and show off your speaking skills? If you perform well, you might be able to secure an order?"

"Okay." Chu Yinan nodded in agreement without much thought. He was a little uneasy because there had been no sales data for several days since the internship started.

*

"Aunt Liu, I've arrived at my destination safely. I'm about to knock on the door. Don't worry, I'm fine. Please also tell Yu Tang not to worry about me."

Upon arriving at the client's doorstep, the first thing Chu Yinan did was call his family, whom he hadn't seen for twenty minutes, to let them know he was safe.

It sounds like a correction of the past, but there's no other way; putting my family at ease is the top priority.

"Then you'd better do your best. If you fail, learn from your mistakes and try again next time!" Yan Liu encouraged gently.

Chu Yinan's target, identified from Yan Liu's client list, was a full-time housewife named Li (Jiang) Xuan En. The surname in parentheses is her husband's. In some cultures, a woman changes her surname after marrying into the man's family. Thanks to the Boxer movement and the exceptionally tolerant cultural atmosphere of the artificial islands, the woman's original surname was preserved. However, out of respect for the other party's cultural customs, she could choose to add her husband's surname after her own as her formal name.

The other party's address is located in a wealthy area, where the entire street is lined with detached villas with their own swimming pools and small courtyards, and the annual settlement fee is quite substantial.

"They should be generous enough to give me the order, right?" Standing in front of the other party's door, Chu Yinan felt a little uneasy.

He wasn't sure if his appearance would make the other person realize that he, Chu, was genuinely serious about selling the product and not just joking around. Perhaps it would be better to transform himself and become a salesman?

However, if that were the case, the lady would explain the situation to Yan Liu, and Chu Yinan's heroic appearance would be exposed.

thump - thump - thump

The courtyard gate was not closed. Chu Yinan walked straight to the heavy gate and knocked on the door.

There is a doorbell, but the doorbell here is installed in a very unfriendly way, so he wouldn't do something as foolish as standing on tiptoe to ring it.

After waiting for a while, Chu Yinan knocked on the door a few more times, but still no one answered.

Could it be that you're not home?

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave or wait, a familiar voice came from behind him, and he could clearly feel the surprise in the other person's tone:

What are you doing here?

Chu Yinan turned her head, and the first thing that caught her eye was the other person's plump, white legs, like those of an idol girl group member. Looking up again... she couldn't recognize the face. She was wearing a baseball cap that covered her hairstyle. The hot pants had a slightly puffy, girlish design, but they didn't accentuate her hips.

Well, even recognizing her buttocks didn't help. Chu Yinan hadn't seen such heavily guarded clothing in a long time. But judging from her voice and height, it seemed to be Senior Jiang Xuanya.

 "I... I'm here to work, it's an internship, I'm selling company products. What are you doing here?" Chu Yinan deliberately used "you" to address him, because he was afraid of mistaking someone and causing embarrassment.

"Look at the house number, it says 'Jiang'. Guess whose house this is?" The other person seemed a little helpless, but was clearly more surprised than delighted by this chance encounter.

Jiang Xuanya never expected to run into this little guy at her doorstep. When she went out for her morning exercise, she was thinking about whether to invite him over for a meal. It seems that her wish came true. It looks like her lucky day for tomorrow has arrived early.

"It's Mrs. Lee Hyun-eun's house." Chu Yinan remained cautious, mainly because he had a similar experience before, and his classmates laughed at him for a week, leaving him with psychological trauma. 

Jiang Xuanya stopped arguing with him about this. After the iris scan, she opened the door, pulled over a stool from the entryway, sat down, took off her sneakers and short cotton socks, revealing her delicate and pretty feet, and also found a pair of slippers for Chu Yinan.

"Is no one home? Why were you waiting outside like an idiot? Here, put on these shoes. They might be a little dusty. I'll take you to the bathroom to wash your feet later."

"Nobody's home, is there? I just rang the doorbell and nobody answered!" Chu Yinan lied through his teeth, but knocking on the door was a kind of indirect way of ringing the doorbell.

Chapter 91 They didn't seem to want to buy anything.

After Jiang Xuanya took Chu Yinan to wash his feet, she wiped her red cheeks and neck, which were flushed from exercising and sweating, with a wet towel, and then poured Chu Yinan a drink.
