Seeing how aggressive the woman was, David clenched his fists before finally saying,

"Y-your grandma had two moles on her butt."

As expected, this answer caused the situation to become worse.

"How would I know that?! And you dare disrespect my grandma!"

The woman’s expression became furious.

"I’m sorry! But I’m serious! My master really had a relationship with your grandmother."

"I don’t know, and I don’t care! Get lost!"

The woman took off one of her slippers and raised it, ready to throw it at him.

David could have forced his way inside, but he knew that his master wouldn’t appreciate such behavior against the granddaughter of his old flame, so he could only leave in shame.

As soon as he disappeared from sight, the woman’s furious expression vanished.

Her face became calm as she quietly closed the door and returned inside.

’Sigh... First day at my job, and I already have to deal with such an annoying person.’

’Should I ask Commander Snake to reassign me to the Noerdon Country mission?’

’Hmm... maybe not. Undercover work is way too uncomfortable. Mike and the others are definitely going to suffer.’

After being kicked out, David didn’t go far from the house.

Although it was a pity that Medicine Master Shun had already passed away, he was still interested in the samples she had produced.

As long as I get my hands on it, Su Menghao’s subordinates should be able to reverse-engineer the recipe.

’Since I can’t get it politely, then don’t blame me for being impolite.’

He found a place close enough to observe the house and waited patiently.

He didn’t expect an opportunity to appear so soon.

About an hour later, he saw "Shauna" leave the house carrying a shopping bag.

David’s eyes immediately glinted. He waited another minute, making sure she wasn’t coming back anytime soon, before quietly sneaking toward the house.

The door lock was hardly an obstacle for a Foundation Building expert.

Click.

The door opened, and David slipped inside. He immediately began searching the entire house, starting with the main bedroom. Judging from the things inside, it seemed to be Shauna’s room.

It was surprisingly clean. Unlike her aggressive personality, she seems quite decent in her private life.

David quickly pushed the thought aside. He didn’t have much time to waste. Who knows when she might return?

He checked the dressing table first, but there was nothing useful. Most of it was practically empty.

"As I expected, she doesn’t care much about her beauty."

He then opened the cupboard and discovered a small locker inside. Using his skills, he quickly opened it. His luck seemed to be surprisingly good. Inside was a small jar.

David’s breathing became rapid. He opened it carefully, and a faint medicinal scent immediately reached his nose. Inside was a white cream that looked like an ordinary face cream.

But David knew better. This was undoubtedly a homemade medicinal cosmetic.

"Hehe, found it!"

His eyes lit up with excitement as he took the jar and quickly left. Although he felt a little guilty about taking it, he didn’t dwell on it for long.

’Anyway, that muscular woman probably won’t have much use for it.’

After David disappeared from the area, Ringo quietly stepped out from the shadows and made a call.

"Consultant Lian, the mission is completed."

["Hmm."] A satisfied hum came from the other end. ["Good job. Come back."]

The call ended.

Ringo gave one last glance in the direction David had disappeared.

’An early-stage Foundation Building cultivator, huh? As expected, there are many experts hidden among ordinary people.’

’Commander Snake was right. I must protect Consultant Lian and CEO Leng closely.’

The next second, Ringo disappeared from the spot as if she had never been there.

Unfortunately, an old uncle happened to witness the scene. He stood there frozen, his face turning pale with fright.

That very evening, rumors about a ghost appearing around Ghaza Town began spreading. And somehow, those rumors ended up attracting more tourists to the town boosting the town’s economy. But that was a story for later.

David immediately rushed back to Jiangnan.

After asking Grandpa Su Shao, he had no trouble obtaining the address of Su Menghao’s company.

However, the moment he arrived, a security guard stopped him at the entrance.

"Stop. Unknown personnel are restricted from entering."

"I’m your CEO Su’s fiancé. Move aside and let me in."

"CEO Su...?" The security guard froze.

The commotion immediately attracted several employees nearby, who were equally shocked by David’s declaration.

"Did I hear that right? He just said he’s CEO Su’s fiancé."

"I heard the same thing. Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"

"Does Young Master Yang know about this?"

Although they whispered among themselves, none of them stepped forward to chase the strange man away. After all, it had been quite a while since they had seen any interesting drama outside the company.

David’s hearing was sharp enough to catch every word. A frown appeared on his face. He didn’t care that they were looking down on him. He was used to keeping a low profile. However, one name bothered him.

’Who is this Yang guy? Is he the reason Menghao has been rejecting me so much? I need to get the answer from her.’

He was about to walk inside when the security guard stopped him again.

"Stop!"

"What? Do you need something?"

David looked annoyed by the repeated obstruction.

"Let me confirm first."

The security guard took out his walkie-talkie.

"Do you mean to say I’m lying?" David laughed in anger.

"???"

The security guard’s head filled with question marks.

’When did I say that?’

Although he was indeed suspicious, he had read enough face-slapping novels to know that someone who looked ordinary could sometimes turn out to be a hidden bigshot.

He cautiously clarified, "I never said that. I’m just following the procedure."

"Uh... um... okay. I’ll wait." David, who had been ready to teach the security guard a lesson the moment he showed even the slightest bit of aggression, was stunned.
