Chapter 104 - 103: [Don’t Ask. The Answer Is Money to Burn.]

Chapter 104: Chapter 103: [Don’t Ask. The Answer Is Money to Burn.]

[Mr. Liu]: "Nannan, if you do a bank transfer, you won’t leave any traces, right?"

[Lovely Nannan]: "Don’t worry, Dad. Your daughter here just hacked into the database of a secret department. They found out afterward, but they’ll never be able to find me."

Liu Rui was so shocked by his daughter’s reply that he nearly threw his phone.

’Hacking a secret department? You’ve got some serious nerve!’

’If they trace this back to you, not even your old man will be able to protect you!’

[Mr. Liu]: "Transfer three hundred million to this card: 2281XXXXXXXX."

After that, Liu Rui put his phone away. He trusted that his daughter would subtly bring up the transfer.

It was a way to strengthen his family’s relationship with X.

BEEP BEEP!!

He Xiaotian glanced at his phone and saw a private message from Liu Nan.

’Why is this father-daughter duo so keen on making shady deals with me?’

[Lovely Nannan]: "My dad wants to recruit you as a live-in son-in-law?"

PFFT!

He Xiaotian nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood. What the hell was this all about?

’How did we suddenly get on the topic of a live-in son-in-law?’

[Call Me Sir]: "Impossible. Don’t be ridiculous. Stop spreading rumors."

[Lovely Nannan]: "He had me transfer three hundred million to your bank card."

[Call Me Sir]: "Give it up. You’re just a computer person. You can’t even fuck."

[Lovely Nannan]: "AHHH, I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!"

CLICK!

He Xiaotian turned off his phone, tossed it onto the coffee table, and started watching a variety show with relish.

’Then again, Liu Rui really knows how to play the game!’

’I’ll rest for the night, then tomorrow morning I’ll make a trip to... what was the name of that Daoist temple Captain Su told me about?’

’Kidney Deficiency Temple?’

’I think that was the name.’

It was said to be one of the main temples of the Zhengyi School.

It was also the Daoist Alliance’s stronghold in Shanghai.

’I hope the Protective Talismans and divine statues are on the cheaper side.’

’Otherwise, I guess I’ll just have to be the bad guy.’

In the past, he would have had to be more careful.

But now, with the old hand and an ’expert’ like Liu Nan—a being akin to an artificial intelligence who could hack the Cleaner database at will—his ability to maintain secrecy had undoubtedly gone up a level.

Erasing all data of his presence wherever he went.

He believed Liu Nan could do that with ease.

’As for moving to Imperial Palace Garden and becoming Liu Rui’s neighbor, wouldn’t that expose his identity?’

’Come on, the guy’s daughter already knew all his secrets. Hiding was impossible.’

’They’re father and daughter, after all!’

’He might as well borrow their money, buy a villa as soon as possible, and ensure his family’s safety.’

FLASH!

The screen of his new TV flashed, and a chat interface appeared.

[Lovely Nannan]: "He Xiaotian, what the hell did you mean? Explain ’can’t even fuck’ to me right now!"

And then... a certain "teacher" appeared on the screen, instantly causing a certain virile man’s blood to start pumping.

Immediately after, a series of strange moans echoed throughout the one-bedroom apartment.

CLICK!

The security door clicked open. He Xiaotian glanced over. ’I’m so screwed!’

His mother, Wang Mei, had just walked in carrying a plate of fruit.

When she saw the scene on the TV and heard the blush-inducing moans, her face immediately flushed red.

"I keep telling you to find a girlfriend, but you always make excuses. So this is what you’ve been doing? Hiding in your room watching this kind of filth."

Wang Mei slammed the fruit platter onto the coffee table and stormed out.

She simply couldn’t stay a moment longer.

"..."

He Xiaotian’s face was a mask of despair. ’What on earth did I do wrong?!’

"Liu Nan, get your ass out here! I’m going to eat you alive!"

The TV screen flickered. The "teacher" and the moans vanished, replaced by the chat interface.

[Lovely Nannan]: "Serves you right! Who told you to say I can’t fuck? I’m not dead yet, you know!"

Right. Seeing that Liu Nan was still fixated on the issue, He Xiaotian instantly lost any desire to argue with her.

Since the dawn of time, anyone who has ever tried to reason with a woman has, without exception, failed.

If she were standing right in front of him, He Xiaotian might just have been the first man in history to succeed.

Unfortunately, she was a computer person, hiding away in the vast, boundless world of the internet.

Even if you had heaven-defying abilities, you were powerless against that.

Besides, what if he really got on her bad side?

If Liu Nan started playing "romance art films" in his home every day, he’d be in for a world of trouble.

At that point, it would be like having mud in his pants—it might not be shit, but everyone would say it is.

That evening, He Xiaotian ordered three whole roasted lambs, leaving his parents, aunt, and uncle staring in stunned silence.

His cousin, in particular, had his jaw hanging so low you could have fit a pig in it.

’Just a short while ago, you were only eating one.’

’How much time has passed? His appetite has tripled!’

’Can people with special powers just do whatever they want?’

And so, Liu Junming once again channeled his grief and indignation into appetite, forcing down two lamb legs.

The rest went into He Xiaotian’s stomach, transforming into pure energy to nourish his body.

Stuffed and satisfied, he had just returned to his little room when the TV in the living room suddenly lit up.

The familiar chat interface appeared again.

[Lovely Nannan]: "Are you a pig? You actually ate three whole roasted lambs!"

He Xiaotian: "..."

’What business is it of yours how much I eat? It’s not like I’m eating your family’s rice.’

"Let’s make a deal. Can you please stop spying on me? I helped your dad out, you know. If I hadn’t shown up last night, your entire family would have probably been wiped out."

This was the truth. Given the abilities of that trio of slackers, they probably couldn’t have held out until Lei Yang and his men arrived.

[Lovely Nannan]: "My dad gave you three hundred and fifty million."

"That was fair payment for my labor! Besides, once my family moves in, won’t your family’s security be greatly enhanced? So when it comes to this, it’s a mutually beneficial arrangement. Nobody owes anybody anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chat interface vanished.

She probably hadn’t expected He Xiaotian to be so blunt.

Seeing this, a certain someone broke into a smile.

’I may just be a college student, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid!’

Liu Rui might be one of the top tycoons in Shanghai, but that didn’t mean he could casually whip out three hundred million just to thank him.

A businessman never makes a deal he’ll lose money on.

And if they do, you’d better watch out.

Because it clearly means they have a much bigger scheme in mind!

And what was it about him, He Xiaotian, that was so valuable? Undoubtedly, it was his ability to smash ghosts, which brought a sense of security.

"Liu Nan, wait, don’t go! I need your help with something."

The TV lit up again, and the chat interface reappeared.

[Lovely Nannan]: "You’re all-powerful, with your Divine Techniques and infallible plans. What use could you have for a ’computer person’ who can’t even fuck?"

He Xiaotian’s head throbbed. ’If I’d known this would happen, I never would have said that,’ he thought.

"Can you control Shanghai’s surveillance network?"

[Lovely Nannan]: "The regular ones are no problem at all. I can do it in an instant. But some places have firewalls that take a little time to breach."

CLAP!

He Xiaotian clapped his hands together. "Can you delete all footage of me appearing anywhere in Shanghai?"

[Lovely Nannan]: "I can. But it’ll cost you."

"?!?!"
