Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

It was very spacious and quiet, completely deserted.

This creates a stark contrast with the bustling traffic below.

But this is not the time to enjoy peace and quiet.

Yu Zhe looked up and gazed at the night sky.

Hey, you know what, the timing was perfect.

First, I saw a bright light approaching from higher in the sky. After it got close enough, I heard the whooshing sound of the propeller blades spinning.

Great! The helicopter delivery has arrived!

Stepping back a few steps, the full view of the aircraft gradually came into view.

This is a medium-sized helicopter with a large "Su" character written on its dark blue fuselage.

It's the Su family's private jet. Yu Zhe is familiar with it, since he once dismantled the plane out of curiosity when he was a child. It seems to be this one.

The plane slowly and steadily came to a stop in the center of the tarmac, causing the surrounding weeds to sway from side to side in the wind.

Then the propeller slowly came to a stop.

A figure nimbly jumped out of the cockpit.

There were no unnecessary movements.

Yu Zhe walked up to the plane and exclaimed, "Sister Lin, you can fly a plane?!"

Lin Yin took off her helmet, tossed her beautiful short hair, and every move she made exuded the unique charm of a mature woman.

Well... other people might think that way, but Yu Zhe knows that she is the "Deceptive Blade" who is known as the invincible one in the martial arts world.

"Hehe, it's always good to have more skills, right? Compared to this! Little Yuzhe, your sister Lin missed you so much!"

Lin Yin threw her helmet aside and ran to Yu Zhe, taking his hand in hers.

His eyes were full of concern: "Last time at the restaurant, the head of the family was there too, so I didn't say much. But I'm still worried about you. Have you suffered outside? Are you lacking anything?"

Sister Lin is really... she's been like a second mother to me since I was little, always worrying about this and that.

Unable to resist recalling her mother's past concern, Yu Zhe felt a warmth in her heart.

"Don't worry, Sister Lin. Just like I said last time, I'm doing quite well outside. I'm free and have everything I need."

"That's good..." Lin Yin breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you didn't want to talk to your father much... It's good that you didn't suffer. Xiao Zhe, here are the things you wanted. That should be all."

Lin Yin opened the cargo door of the airplane, took out a box, and opened the storage compartment.

"So big?"

Several living two hands were inside the box.

The crabs were so large that you might not even be able to lift them, and they were covered with a layer of frost.

"How are we supposed to move this..."

Little Lychee is in for a treat, but moving her is going to be a lot of work.

Despite Yu Zhe's high combat prowess, he's still far from strong.

"I'll help you move it over there."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yin closed the lid and casually hoisted the box onto her shoulder as if it were something very light.

This is not scientific...

Yu Zhe really couldn't figure out the principle behind her load-bearing method.

"Haha... Thank you, Sister Lin."

"No need to thank me." A resolute glint flashed in Lin Yin's eyes. "Back then, Qiu Yun told me... after she was gone, to take good care of you. And it's true, I don't have any children of my own. Taking care of you would fulfill a great wish of mine. Is this what they call overflowing maternal instinct?"

You claim you're still young... never mind, it's best not to remind you this time.

As the two stepped off the elevator, Yu Zhe asked, "Sister Lin, are you coming over for dinner? We probably won't be able to finish all the crabs, but if you want to come and have dinner with us, the ingredients we bought are more than enough."

"Um... I really wanted to eat together, after all, Xiao Yuzhe's cooking is like a god's, but... I'm very busy with work. After I finish helping you move, I have to start my investigation again."

"The Qi family?"

"Yes, wasn't this arranged by you, Xiao Yuzhe? Really... you and the head of the family are becoming more and more alike. Sigh, you both only know how to order people around."

Hearing this, Yu Zhe's lips curled into a smile.

It seems things are going very smoothly.

Without his father's knowledge, he had Sister Lin conduct the investigation, and now it's almost time to close the net.

Thinking about all this, Yu Zhe grinned like a villain, wondering what expressions the Qi family would have when the time came.

"Hehe...hehehe...oh my!"

However... while laughing, Yu Zhe lost sight of where he was going and crashed headfirst into a telephone pole!

Looking at Yu Zhe, who was squatting on the ground in pain.

Lin Yin smiled nostalgically: "It seems that not only are you becoming more and more like the head of the family, but you, Xiao Yuzhe, are also becoming more and more like your mother... Back then, when she was thinking, she would either bump into a tree or a pole. Eh, are all geniuses like this?"

17. Don't tell anyone!

After helping to move the hairy crabs upstairs, Lin Yin didn't linger. After saying goodbye to Zi Xiao and Qi Xinye, she hurriedly left.

It is now 7:10 PM.

Little Lychee still hasn't arrived. Given her longing for food, it's quite remarkable that she hasn't come yet.

But that's good, it gives Yu Zhe time to prepare properly. He wasted a lot of time earlier because of the hairy crabs.

Once he officially entered the kitchen, the other two had nothing to do.

Zixiao and Qi Xinye obediently went out. The ingredients that needed to be prepared had been ready. In terms of taste alone, even though the two of them had practiced cooking since childhood, they were still far behind Yuzhe.

Sitting on the sofa, Zixiao turned on the TV.

Qi Xinye also sat down on the sofa to her right.

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

As expected, after all, it had been many years since Zixiao had spoken to Qi Xinye alone, which was why she turned on the TV first.

Ignoring the news broadcast on TV, Zixiao took advantage of this opportunity to speak alone and had some questions to ask.

She placed the remote control on the table and gently turned her head: "Sister Xinye, may I ask what your true thoughts are?"

"Thoughts? Zixiao, which aspect do you want to ask about... I..."

The topic came up rather unexpectedly, catching Qi Xinye quite off guard.

"Of course, it's your opinion on the current situation of the Qi family."

The usually gentle Zixiao now had a sharp look in her eyes: "My brother is investigating the Qi family, and he will soon take action against them. Nobody knows what will happen to the Qi family then, so I want to know your opinion."

"In other words, are you really on your brother's side?"

An incredulous look flashed in Qi Xinye's eyes.

She couldn't quite believe that Zixiao was so wary of her, but... it was understandable.

When they were little, Xiao Zhe, Zi Xiao, and Yu Che were all very good friends. Who would have thought that one day they would be asked such a question?

With a wry smile, Qi Xinye said helplessly, "Sigh... You don't need to doubt this. Xiao Zhe's position is also my position."

Zixiao didn't intend to believe her so easily: "It's easy to say, but I don't understand why, Sister Xinye. You may not like what I'm saying, but I have to understand. You are one of the core figures in the Qi family. If the Qi family falls, you will also lose a lot. Do you dare to say that you are willing to give up everything for your brother?"

Abandon everything...

Qi Xinye asked herself a question. Ever since Xiao Zhe helped her open the birdcage and let her see the real sky, she had wanted to see the entire sky and then tell Xiao Zhe how wonderful the world was.

Actually, it's not that complicated. Xiao Zhe had already told Zi Xiao the answer to her question.

Qi Xinye frankly said: "I dare not say that I have the courage to give up everything, that is not realistic. But Xiao Zhe told me that there will be different ways to deal with innocent people in the Qi family, and evil will inevitably be punished. I believe in Xiao Zhe, so even if the Qi family no longer exists, it will not be a big problem."

It means as long as innocent people aren't affected. So, is the Qi family's business dispensable to you...?

Sigh, Zixiao actually knows that Xinye has never been a materialistic person. Although it's wrong of her to doubt her like this, she really has to say it for her brother's sake.

"Sister Xinye, please don't take what I just said to heart, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Xinye interrupted, "No need to say more... Zixiao, I understand. If I were in your shoes, I would ask the same questions."

As they talked, Qi Xinye started making jokes.

"You're being merciful. If it were Yu Che, I think she would lock me up for a few days before questioning me."

Zixiao laughed and said, "Yuche isn't that ruthless, but sometimes he really goes too far. You could say he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"What do you mean?! The old Yu Che was alright, but now every time I talk to her, I feel like my life is in danger. I wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly pulled out a knife!"

"Hahaha, that's too much."

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

Qi Xinye misses this situation. Sigh... I really hope the Qi family's problems can be resolved soon.

Boom boom boom!

dong dong dong dong!

There was a sudden, irregular knocking sound.

The zixiao (a type of herb) is ripe.

No one but Little Lychee could produce such a brainless sound.

After telling Qi Xinye, Zixiao went to the door to open it.

As expected, it was a small lychee.

But... something seems different today?

She seems to be sparkling.

She placed her hands together in front of her skirt, which was a light green pleated skirt with gold lace trim that was quite dazzling.

Especially her hair, which was long and light golden, fell naturally. But unlike before, there was a huge bow headband on the back of her head, and the hair near the back of her head was simply braided.
