Chapter 102 - 101: [System Prompt: Mr. Liu has joined the group chat!]

Chapter 102: Chapter 101: [System Prompt: Mr. Liu has joined the group chat!]

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "Yep. All it took was a thought, and I turned on your camera. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Tsk tsk, nice muscles. You’re making me drool. *lecherous_smirk.jpg*"

"..."

’Did I just get... hit on?’

’Wait a minute, you said you’re inside a computer. How exactly are you drooling?’

He Xiaotian found this ’Liu Nan’s’ explanation somewhat acceptable.

After all, he had his own unscientific Experience Points system, and the world was currently undergoing earth-shattering changes. A soul burrowing into a computer didn’t seem all that hard to accept.

’At any rate, it’s better than eating people!’

[Call Me Sir]: "You haven’t told your father?"

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "When I woke up, I found myself in this chat group. You were the only one in here, so naturally, I contacted you first."

The corner of He Xiaotian’s mouth twitched. ’What does she mean I’m the only one in the whole chat group?’

’What about the other members?!’

’Aren’t the other one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight people... people?’

Before he could ask, a series of notifications appeared in the chat group.

[’If You’re a Man, Face Me’ has been kicked from the group chat by the Group Owner]

[’May’ has been kicked from the group chat by the Group Owner]

[’Expedition’ has been kicked from the group chat by the Group Owner]

[...]

In the blink of an eye, the two-thousand-person group was instantly reduced to just him and Liu Nan.

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "I made this group for fun. Everyone in it was just one of my alt accounts. Huh! Why is your face so dark?"

He Xiaotian’s face was now so dark it could almost rival the manifestation of his protective Gang Qi when he unleashed the *Black Tiger’s Tyrannical Gang*.

’So what the hell kind of useless group did I even join back then?!’

’If it weren’t for what happened today, I probably would have been kept in the dark forever!’

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "He Xiaotian, lives in the Pearl Courtyard Complex in Z County. Parents are both alive. His father, He Sheng, and his uncle-in-law, Liu Jinhai, co-own a paper mill. Moved from Z County to Shanghai some time ago."

[Call Me Sir]: "Do me a favor and stop digging up my personal history, okay?"

He Xiaotian wanted nothing more than to smash his phone.

’Is it such a big deal to burrow into a computer and become some kind of intelligent lifeform? Does that mean you can do whatever you want?’

’My mistake. It actually is a huge deal, and she really can do whatever she wants.’

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "There’s more of your data here. Codename: X. This seems to be a mysterious department hidden within the police system. They’ve actually been looking for you.

"Mysterious Person X is a Special with three abilities: Super Strength, Durability, and Fire. Internal Potential Assessment: S, Extremely High. Incidents Participated In: Killed the Pig Grudge at the Z County pig farm and sealed the Nether Rift using an unknown method.

"Killed an aberrant practitioner who was attempting a blood sacrifice to summon an unknown entity inside an abandoned factory by the river in Z County. Killed the female ghost, Hong Yi, who was rampaging through Shanghai at night. Killed the giant crocodile that was stirring up trouble at the bottom of the Pujiang River."

’Is there no record of the Blood Special and the Zhou family Village incident?’

’It seems the Medical University incident put a lot of pressure on the Cleaners.’

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "Oops, someone found me. *gotta_run.jpg*"

He Xiaotian: "..."

’How is the Sister Nan in the chat group so different from the cool and aloof person she is in real life?’

[Call Me Sir]: "Could you please delete all that information? Also, you’re not planning to spend the rest of your life in this group chat just talking to me, are you? Can’t you go notify your father first and have him figure something out?"

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "You make such a good point, I’m at a loss for words."

’A good point, my ass!’

’Any normal person would have thought of that, okay!!’

[System Notification: Mr. Liu has joined the group chat.]

He Xiaotian: "..."

’Well, no need to ask.’

’The so-called ’Mr. Liu’ must be Liu Rui, that famous Shanghai tycoon.’

’I just don’t get why a middle-aged man like him would have such a flashy name.’

[Mr. Liu]: "Who added me to this? What do you want?"

To be honest, Liu Rui was in a terrible mood at that moment.

His family had suffered a sudden calamity, and his daughter was still lying in bed, unconscious, practically in a vegetative state.

Although the people he’d hired had destroyed the organization that attacked his family and ruined their plans, which was some satisfying payback for him...

...but revenge alone wasn’t enough. How could he not be worried when his daughter was comatose, like a vegetable?

He had originally canceled several board meetings to stay home and spend time with Liu Nan.

’Who knew how much time she had left?’

Then his phone chimed with a notification, and he discovered he’d been pulled into some chat group by God knows who.

’I mean, isn’t this just deliberately trying to annoy someone?’

’What mood am I in to chat with you people right now?!’

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "Dad!"

Liu Rui: "..."

’Whose kid is this, calling me ’Dad’ right off the bat?’

’It’s true that I only have one daughter, but just because you call me your father doesn’t mean you can inherit my assets, does it?’

[Mr. Liu]: "Don’t let me find out who you are! Otherwise, I’ll make sure there’s no place for you in Shanghai. Also, who changed my name? I’m in my forties, what’s with this flashy nickname? Who would use such a shameless name for no reason!"

[Call Me Sir]: "My apologies for that. It’s true, I’m not a very scrupulous person myself."

Liu Rui: "..."

If he hadn’t been through so much recently, and if he weren’t a man who had seen his share of storms, he probably would have smashed his phone right then and there.

’Where did all these freaks and weirdos come from?’

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "Dad, it’s me, Nannan."

"What the fu—"

Even with Liu Rui’s excellent composure, he was on the verge of cursing out loud.

’My daughter is lying on the bed right in front of me, yet you’re on my phone claiming to be her. Could there be a more half-assed scammer in the world?’

[Mr. Liu]: "If this is how you run your scams, you’re going to starve to death out there!"

[Call Me Sir]: "She really is your daughter, but something unexpected happened. The evil spirit from that organization probably didn’t devour your daughter’s soul. It looks like the bodyguards you hired played a key role. Miss Liu was likely frightened, and her soul was scared right out of her body.

"For some unknown reason, it burrowed into a computer and formed a unique mode of existence. Why don’t you two ask each other some private questions that only the two of you, father and daughter, would know?"

[Mr. Liu]: "My daughter has a birthmark that only her mother and I know about. No one else is aware of it. If you can describe it, I’ll believe you’re my daughter."

He Xiaotian’s eyes lit up. ’It’s that secret, huh?’

’Why am I getting a little restless... and feeling a bit hot?’

’Is this puberty finally kicking in?’
