It seems we can only test the results of years of education now. Hopefully, the younger sisters won't be too overwhelmed by the protagonist's halo.

Yan Jiangchen sensed the resistance from the original owner's remaining soul, and after a moment, he revealed a wicked smile, "Didn't you say you didn't want me to touch your sisters? Sure, other girls are fine too, right?"

I'll call Liu Qingmei right now and invite her over for dinner.

Today is my 24th birthday!

Spending the night with your childhood sweetheart is only natural, isn't it?

Feeling quite pleased with herself, Yan Jiangchen carefully recalled her current memories. Then, she turned to pick up her phone from the bedside table, only to find it empty.

"Huh? Wasn't this what I left here before bed?"

He looked around curiously and then realized that the room was almost too clean!

The clothes that the original owner had specially ordered for her birthday party, which should have been hanging on the hanger, were now gone. Her phone, wallet, and even her house key had vanished without a trace. Yan Jiangchen hurriedly opened the walk-in closet door; it was completely empty!

"Damn it, what the hell!" He reluctantly pushed open the secret room in the dressing room and used the original owner's memories to open the huge safe.

The safe, which was originally filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and cash, was completely empty!

"Did you do this?" Yan Jiangchen's eyes turned cold.

In the original owner's memory, after saying goodnight to her sisters last night, she sent a message to her childhood sweetheart girlfriend online: "Remember our promise" and also sent a rain of flower petals online.

After a little romantic moment, the original owner lay down to sleep, only to wake up and find herself transported to another world.

Based on his extensive experience with online novels, he considered it and concluded that it was very likely that the original owner's spirit was lingering and deliberately causing trouble for some reason!

Chapter Fifteen: Years of hard work have not been in vain

"Ha, you think this will stop me?" Yan Jiangchen shook his head with a smile. "You're really naive! You worked so hard to accumulate so much wealth, but I didn't expect you to be someone who relies entirely on luck and has no brains."

Having inherited all of the original owner's memories, he knew that the other party didn't have any cheat codes like a system, and was only able to start his business because of the assets left by his parents.

Even if a ghost can secretly transport things out, where can it hide them?

Isn't it right here in this manor villa?

Judging from the fact that the other party can only resist his will through his remnant soul, it is likely that moving these valuables last night exhausted his soul power.

According to the typical plot of online novels, I should be able to outlive the remnant soul to death very soon.

The remaining time can be used to search for the treasures hidden by the original owner, which only adds a bit of fun to the experience.

With a mix of ease, comfort, and smugness, Yan Jiangchen walked out of the house in her pajamas, unlocking the door with her fingerprint, only to run into her gentle and beautiful fourth sister, Bai Wei.

"Good morning, brother!" She smiled, revealing a pair of dimples on her face. She wore a white dress and looked as delicate and beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.

"Up so early? Why not sleep a little longer?" Yan Jiangchen replied with a smile, mimicking the original owner's tone.

Having read countless books, he knew that the first thing to do after transmigrating was to imitate all of the original owner's habits, including his tone of voice and walking posture, so as not to let the people around him see through his disguise.

However, it is difficult to completely imitate another person's habits and ways without deliberate training. Yan Jiangchen's speaking habits are slightly higher in pitch than the original owner's, and he also has a flirtatious tone when facing beautiful women.

The perceptive Bai Wei was slightly taken aback, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "I made an appointment to take my second sister's pulse and treat her health. She's usually too busy, her diet is irregular, and her appetite isn't very good. She also has some problems with her cervical and lumbar spine."

"Take some time to check my brother's pulse and get him treated as well." Yan Jiangchen casually joked, "You go ahead and do your work, I still have some things to take care of."

Bai Wei frowned slightly as she noticed his slightly different walking posture than usual, sensing that something was off about her brother today.

"Phew! Walking with my back straight every day is so damn tiring!" Yan Jiangchen tried his best to imitate the original owner's upright walking posture, just like in his memory.

After turning the corner and making sure no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders and back slumped, and he shuffled down the stairs to the basement in his slippers.

He guessed that the original owner's spirit didn't have many places to hide things, and there was a hidden safe house in the basement, where it would most likely be stored.

"Second sister, I ran into brother in the hallway just now." Bai Wei asked suspiciously as soon as she entered the room, "He seemed a little strange."

Leng Yueshuang has grown into a noble and aloof woman. Her years of being in a position of power have cultivated her aristocratic temperament and the capable demeanor of a decisive and efficient businesswoman.

"What's strange about it? We were chatting and laughing together last night, just like usual, weren't we?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like he's become a different person." Bai Wei frowned and whispered, "My brother usually dresses properly when he's at home, and he would never walk around in his pajamas in front of us."

But just now I saw him walking around hunched over in his pajamas. He straightened up instantly when he saw me, but even as he walked away, he still didn't seem like his usual self.

Leng Yueshuang's expression also became serious. "When we first entered the house, my brother emphasized the difference between men and women. He personally cares a lot about this kind of thing."

How come we've become less and less careful now?

As for the hunched back and slouching posture, could it be due to physical discomfort?

"Impossible! I just checked carefully, and there's nothing wrong with my brother's health." Bai Wei said nervously, "The strangest thing is that when I said I wanted to take my second sister's pulse, my brother casually said something like, 'Take some time to take his pulse and treat his health too!'"

Hearing this, Leng Yueshuang's face grew even colder. "My brother never lets you take his pulse, so he would never say such a thing. I'll go and test him later!"

The little white cat, with tears of relief streaming down its face, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Host, your hard work has paid off! The sisters really did a great job!"

"My only worry right now is the protagonist's halo. If he really intentionally lowers the intelligence of the younger sisters, that would be a huge problem." The semi-transparent Jiang Chen floated out of the door and into the basement. "Actually, this protagonist has a dirty mind, but his intelligence is still quite good."

At least they are much better than those who don't bother to hide their true selves after time-traveling.

However, it is difficult for a person to completely align their habits and behaviors without long-term imitation.

Even if he tries his best to imitate her, he might not be able to escape his sisters' eyes.

Yan Jiangchen was lost in thought as she walked towards the basement.

How could I have suddenly traveled through time?

Based on the typical plot of online novels, it's highly likely that he died suddenly due to staying up late all the time.

It's not really that important. What's done is done. Being able to enjoy the life of a billionaire is far happier than those days when I had no future.

There's nothing worth clinging to from my past life.

In any case, judging from the inherited memories, the two are not in the same world at all.

Even if I wanted to secretly give money to my family, I couldn't. Since I'm all alone, I might as well enjoy life. Isn't there a saying that goes, "Live in the moment"?

Yan Jiangchen feels that she is doing well just living in the present moment.

Although I inherited the original owner's memories, they weren't my own, so it felt more like watching a movie and getting familiar with the other person's original life.

"Seven younger sisters plus my childhood sweetheart, Sister Liu, eight girls in total, should be the most beautiful in the world. No one can compare to them!" Yan Jiangchen happily imagined the wonderful life of sleeping together in the future as she opened the door to the safe house.

The room was completely empty!

"Damn it!" Yan Jiangchen cursed a few times in exasperation.

In my memory, a safe full of gold and silver treasures could fill an entire room! Where the hell could he possibly move them?

What was originally something he could easily have obtained turned into a trap by the original owner of the body, and Yan Jiangchen's face grew increasingly gloomy.

This is really unpredictable. It's practically standard practice for transmigrated protagonists to inherit everything from the original owner, right?

Who arranged this time travel? If I could rate it, I'd definitely give it a bad review! Not only was the original owner uncooperative, but he also deliberately caused trouble. Why didn't the spatial laws and the world's will erase his remnant soul?

"Butler, go buy me a cell phone and get a replacement SIM card. Also, get me a few outfits from head to toe, clothes I can wear right away." Emerging from the basement, he strode into the lobby, urging the waiting butler to hurry.

The butler was puzzled, but showed no sign of doubt. He bowed respectfully and accepted the order, then quickly walked out of the hall to make a phone call to the young lady.

Chapter Sixteen: A Fake Person Full of Flaws

Yan Jiangchen nestled on the sofa, gazing at the luxurious crystal chandelier in the six-meter-high hall, and sighed inwardly at how wonderful the life of the rich was!

The money I spent just on this beautiful lamp is more than I've ever seen in my previous 24 years of life.

Now, all of these are mine!

This is much better than being a transmigrated emperor. Being an emperor requires scheming, winning people's hearts, and all sorts of painstaking efforts. Transmigrating here is purely for enjoyment.

Since the original owner was able to hide a room full of gold, silver, jewelry, and cash from being discovered, it would be even easier to hide cell phones, clothes, hats, shoes, and socks.

Especially mobile phones, which should have a lot of signs of use.

The entire manor villa is so big that if you just turn off your phone anywhere, it won't be easy to find it.

Instead of wasting time looking, it's better to just buy a new one.

Anyway, all the phone numbers I need to remember are in the original owner's memories. You want to stop me from getting together with your childhood sweetheart? No way!

They were originally prepared especially for me, the chosen one!

..............................

"What?!" Xiang Ninghua, who lived on the third floor, listened to the housekeeper's description on the phone, and her expression gradually became serious. "Why did my brother suddenly tell you to buy all this random stuff?"

Okay, I understand. Go and buy it as he instructed.

Remember not to say anything; I need to assess the situation first.

After hanging up the phone, she was about to leave when she received a call from her second younger sister. The younger sister was decisive and spoke quickly and concisely, "Brother is acting a bit strange. He was wandering around in his pajamas this morning and even verbally harassed your fourth sister. Eldest sister, do you have any way to verify what happened?"

“No wonder the housekeeper told me earlier that my brother asked him to buy a new phone, clothes, shoes and socks early this morning. He was running around in his pajamas, didn’t he have any other clothes to wear?” Xiang Ninghua was confused, and instructed, “You all call the other sisters and gather in the youngest sister’s room.”

Zhou Ruofeng was still asleep.

Last night, a foreign hacker group launched an attack on the domestic network. She joined the red hacker group to lead the counterattack and won a great victory, so she didn't get to rest until very late.

She was awakened by a knock on the door. When she opened it, she was bewildered to see a group of her older sisters outside. "Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, what brings you all here?"

"Stop padding the word count, there's an emergency."

Second Sister Leng Yueshuang pushed open the door and went in, lowering her voice to say, "First, pull up the surveillance footage from the east wing leading to the basement. It was about three or four minutes ago."

A group of stunning beauties filed in, with the meticulous fourth sister, Bai Wei, walking at the back. She looked around to make sure there was nothing else in the hallway before closing and locking the door.

"The older sisters are checking the security footage so early in the morning?" Zhou Ruofeng's hands flew across the keyboard as she muttered to herself, "Did something happen? The east wing's stairwell leading to the basement... Huh?!"

She pulled up the ultra-high-definition surveillance video, rewinding the time to four minutes earlier. She saw a man in pajamas walk past the camera, his slouching, unsteady gait in slippers causing her to exclaim in surprise, "Who is this? When did a stranger enter the manor? How come my security system didn't alarm?!"

"Wait a minute, why is he wearing his brother's pajamas? These are custom-made, I can't be mistaken!"

As Zhou Ruofeng spoke, he manipulated the timeline with his small hands to rewind a bit.

When the camera focused on the other person's face, she stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, as she turned to look at the group of sisters gathered around her. "Is this... my brother?"

"We should be asking you that question," said the fifth sister, Wang Mengtian, a hint of helplessness on her beautiful face. "We've all been quite busy these past few years and haven't spent much time at home. You've been by your brother's side the whole time; have you noticed anything strange about him?"

Zhou Ruofeng shook her head blankly, "No, my brother hasn't changed at all over the years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recognized him from behind just now. What happened to him?"

"I don't think he's our brother." Sixth Sister Lin Yanran crossed her arms and shook her head coolly. "Assassins have the most sensitive intuition. Even though it was just through the camera, I could feel that he didn't have the same spirit and energy as our brother."
