The little cousin stood at the door, feeling completely unsettled.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What? A corpse had been replaced? Could it be that there had been some hidden truth behind her cousin-in-law\u2019s death?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Or was it that her cousin still refused to accept the reality of his spouse\u2019s death?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thinking this, the little cousin trembled but let out a shaky sigh of relief. Her second cousin really might have behaved this way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, the internet had already dug up that her second cousin, after his husband died, had forcibly traveled to over ten countries, refusing to accept reality.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Some even found interviews in local tabloids.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014At that time, Ye Wangxing had looked so haggard that it was pitiful to see.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thinking this, the little cousin\u2019s expression relaxed a little.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then she heard a gentle voice from inside the room.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was the voice of one of her cousin\u2019s prospective spouses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI witnessed him being crushed to pieces in the car with my own eyes, dear. I\u2019ve told you many times\u2014no one could survive an accident like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blond man spoke as gently as ever, but the little cousin felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026It was like she had intended to touch the golden-haired man, only to feel the coldness of a frozen python.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The little cousin shivered all over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But then her expression turned to shock\u2014how dared the blond man speak of her cousin-in-law like that in front of her cousin?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even if the man was about to take a higher position, using a tone that made it sound like he was talking about a heap of rotting meat when referring to his predecessor was way too much.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026With her cousin\u2019s temper, his fist would probably have hit the man\u2019s face the next second.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard Ye Wangxing\u2019s voice from inside.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He hadn\u2019t been angry. He spoke in a tone that mixed calmness with a hint of madness: \u201cBut that was Kaizer. He absolutely wouldn\u2019t die from an ordinary car accident.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The little cousin then understood why her cousin had brought up his spouse\u2014her cousin seemed to have relapsed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her expression softened with a hint of sympathy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that moment, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder from behind. She almost screamed but quickly covered her mouth and turned around, seeing Assistant Wang looking at her with confusion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The little cousin had spent quite some time interacting with Assistant Wang recently. After all, she was nominally one of his subordinates. But because of her status as a \u201cconnections\u201d hire, she only needed to do minor tasks at her desk and manage some side work every day. She received full benefits and a monthly salary of fifty thousand yuan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This made the little cousin automatically place a positive filter on her second cousin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014As long as her second cousin didn\u2019t break the law or violate labor regulations, whatever he did was right!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In this, Assistant Wang and the little cousin reached a consensus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was originally just an ordinary assistant. Normally, according to the experience of predecessors, he would have needed at least ten years at the company to be assigned to another branch and become a general manager.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But after their boss\u2019s successful rise and taking control of most of the Gore family business, this time had been halved. With two more years at the company, he could be assigned to another branch or even become an interstate-level executive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thinking of his bright future, Assistant Wang had decided that as long as it wasn\u2019t murder or arson, he could handle anything for his boss.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Of course, if abroad, as long as the boss paid enough, he could probably contact the right people.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By now, his salary plus bonuses had reached a substantial amount, which made him even more conscientious about his work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So when he saw his subordinate\u2014and a \u201cconnections\u201d hire\u2014eavesdropping here, Assistant Wang instinctively wanted to call her away. After all, if she overheard something serious, only the law here could protect her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Otherwise, she might even lose her job.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He liked this subordinate with the same surname as himself. She had a good temper, was honest, and knew she was just here for the salary. Besides working at her desk, she occasionally filled the water dispenser or went to the restroom.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Unlike other \u201cconnections\u201d hires who bossed around the company or tried to take more money, she happily stayed at her desk. The worst thing she had done was bring her Labrador to the office, causing a stir among the employees.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That afternoon, everyone played with the dog and no one focused on work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That dog, named Fa Cai, had since become one of the company\u2019s therapy dogs\u2014earning a salary of five thousand yuan per month.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Truly fitting the name. (Fa Cai \u2013 have meaning of Fortune)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So Assistant Wang had thoughtfully intended to get his subordinate to leave. But when Wang Qi looked at him, she surprisingly seemed relieved. This puzzled him, but she quickly typed on her phone to explain what had happened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018My cousin thinks Mr. Kaizer isn\u2019t dead again. It seems his psychological condition worsened. Mr. Octo is comforting him now.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qi typed the message, her expression carrying a trace of pity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But this comment made Assistant Wang frown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His boss was emotionally fragile?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As the private assistant closest to his boss, Assistant Wang had personally followed his boss through everything that had happened the past year. Even though his boss hadn\u2019t said much, he had noticed that the relationship between his boss and Mr. Kaizer had already developed problems.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Though their relationship appeared flamboyant on the surface, behind closed doors their emotions were like a powder keg about to explode\u2014just one spark away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that time, Assistant Wang had been extremely cautious, fearing that if they divorced, he wouldn\u2019t know which side to support.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014After all, he had originally been trained as the second-in-command of the assistant team under Mr. Kaizer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Now that assistant had stayed abroad and become the head of the group.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Getting back to the point, the powder keg hadn\u2019t exploded yet when Mr. Kaizer suddenly passed away. This left his boss feeling hollow for several days. Although his boss appeared emotionally agitated, Assistant Wang observed that it seemed like acting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

No matter how intense the emotions looked, his inner feelings were empty and vacant, as if he couldn\u2019t believe Kaizer had really left. Later, when his boss carried that mass of flesh and traveled to so many countries for verification, Assistant Wang accompanied him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Every time his boss saw the DNA test confirming it was indeed Kaizer, the expression on his face was indescribable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014It looked as if he wanted to believe it was Kaizer\u2019s DNA but didn\u2019t want to see the result. His entire expression twisted to the extreme.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Assistant Wang was certain that this emotion wasn\u2019t like Wang Qi described\u2014that his boss simply refused to accept Kaizer\u2019s death out of love.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although Assistant Wang had agonized over this for a long time, in reality, it only took an instant. Before he could even pull Wang Qi away, he heard another voice from inside.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBut that was a Scania, dear\u2014a fully loaded Scania with no sign of braking. It carried a full load of sand and just smashed into the car.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blond man\u2019s gentle voice sounded again, but the words were exceptionally cruel. He seemed to force Ye Wangxing to confront reality by describing every detail of the accident vividly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cEven though his Lincoln had been modified with bulletproof protection comparable to a presidential vehicle, that doesn\u2019t mean it could withstand the impact. No car can resist a tens-of-tons sand truck moving at eighty kilometers per hour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDear, you confirmed that he got into the Lincoln that morning, then the person in the car that day had to have been him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After this statement, there was a long silence. Ye Wangxing seemed unable to accept reality or perhaps was thinking of some other problem. After a long while, he spoke.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Then how do you explain the hand that appeared in my room and the signet ring I received earlier?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing\u2019s voice trembled slightly, tinged with nervousness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIf there are no ghosts in this world, that hand must have been Kaizer\u2019s! I could feel it even with my eyes closed! His index finger bore the mark of the family ring he always wore, and the palm had a scar\u2014I bit it myself!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The little cousin gasped again and covered her mouth. Assistant Wang\u2019s expression turned peculiar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Now he understood why Kaizer would kiss his boss\u2019s palm every time before leaving home, making his boss\u2019s face flush as he pushed the person out the door.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018Playing it complicated\u2019<\/i> Assistant Wang thought.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But the following conversation became increasingly tense. Ye Wangxing\u2019s tone grew agitated.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAnd that signet ring\u2014after the police investigation, it was valued at around fifteen million. It had flowed from abroad into the country. I had Assistant Wang check overseas records, that ring disappeared from the market last year, exactly one month before Kaizer\u2019s death!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAnd now it appeared here! And no one besides you could casually give a fifteen-million-yuan ring as if it were a trinket!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing\u2019s voice in the meeting room grew louder. He seemed unable to contain himself, his emotions were extremely intense.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After saying this, he breathed heavily several times, gradually calming down and finally said softly: “Sorry, I lost control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026No need, dear. You never need to apologize to me. I know your mental pressure is high. I will help you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blond man spoke gently.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad you can release your emotions in front of me. It means we\u2019ve come a step closer, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He added a light laugh.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing said nothing, only letting out a long sigh after a while, his voice carrying a trace of helplessness, as if thinking, I shouldn\u2019t have apologized.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just when Assistant Wang thought the conversation was over, Ye Wangxing spoke again. This time, fully composed, his tone became serious and calm.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But what he said immediately stunned Assistant Wang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI had Chris check the exit records. None of Kaizer\u2019s fake identities had left the country, including those he thought I didn\u2019t know about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing spoke extremely calmly: \u201cIt will still take some time domestically, but I have already provided the authorities with Kaizer\u2019s photos and facial recognition data. As long as Kaizer stayed in the country for even one day without a full-face mask, we would find him sooner or later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blonde man heard Ye Wangxing\u2019s words and added a trace of seriousness to his voice: \u201cI will help you find his beloved, but after you find him, beloved, what do you plan to do with him?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As he said this, the blonde man suddenly smiled.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014I suppose you might want to meet the hundred-ton king with national characteristics?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Assistant Wang\u2019s face suddenly changed. He grabbed Wang Qi, who still didn\u2019t understand what was happening, and dragged her straight outside.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBrother Wang, what happened? Why does your face look so grim? Did Mr. Chris tell a hellish joke?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qi asked in confusion. From her perspective, someone who didn\u2019t know the truth, the situation looked like Ye Wangxing\u2019s mental state had deteriorated again, and the blonde man was comforting him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Of course, she sensed something was off, but thinking about her 50,000-yuan monthly salary\u2026 Wang Qi eventually suppressed her desire to investigate the truth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Since the police hadn\u2019t discovered anything wrong, she decided it was safer to stay quiet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Assistant Wang ran until he reached a safe place, gasping for breath.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After finally calming down, he looked back at Wang Qi with a hint of helplessness toward the ignorant human.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This wasn\u2019t a hellish joke\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026it was a criminal plan!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, Assistant Wang obviously didn\u2019t intend to tell Wang Qi about this. He only said a few perfunctory words, warning her not to tell anyone, and then escorted her away. Wang Qi obediently returned to her position as the bag-carrying assistant for the day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014But she still turned and reported the whole thing to her elder cousin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qi knew something was off, but first, she didn\u2019t have the brainpower to figure out exactly what. Second, even if she realized it, revealing the truth at his current position could endanger their family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was better to tell the elder cousin everything. After all, her second cousin was reasonable and wouldn\u2019t fire her just for worrying about his mental state.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qi returned to her seat, trembling slightly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She was still a little scared, worried her elder cousin might sell her out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortunately, Song Yun was reliable as always. When he saw what his little cousin had reported, he didn\u2019t tell anyone, not even Shi Xuanzhu, and his expression became grim.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun no longer had the energy to deal with Shi Xuanzhu, which made him unusually quiet during the live broadcast. Sometimes he merely wrote perfunctory answers, but Ye Wangxing and the other guests distracted attention from him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Those guests, who caused endless laughs because they were doing tasks outside their skill set, slightly overshadowed the observation room guests. Yet this also led the livestream to break ten million viewers for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The director grinned from ear to ear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In stark contrast, even Song Yun\u2019s smiles at the end looked forced, but fortunately, no one noticed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Yet Song Yun kept thinking about the matter, tossing and turning in bed at night.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Why had Ye Wangxing said those words? Wasn\u2019t he close with his brother-in-law? Or was there some hidden truth he didn\u2019t know?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And what did that \u201chundred-ton king\u201d joke really mean?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026It couldn\u2019t be the most unlikely thing he imagined, right?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun\u2019s eyes suddenly widened, but then he felt it was unbearable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, such a crazy act couldn\u2019t possibly have been done by the little clingy kid who always stuck to him as a child, could it?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But really not?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun spent the whole night without finding an answer. This led to dark circles under his eyes when he arrived at the livestream studio the next morning. Fortunately, the makeup artist skillfully concealed them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His expression still looked somewhat listless, but the guests\u2019 humor was strong enough that no one noticed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even though their comedic moments waned after adapting to work, it seemed the director had finally been blessed by the traffic gods after several days of bad luck.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014In the livestream room, Chris\u2019s department leader walked to the office for the eighth time and pointed at everyone except Chris.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The red-haired man, interrupted for the eighth time, couldn\u2019t hold back.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He lifted his head, wearing a sarcastic smile:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Has Octo finally gone blind, or are his subordinates blind?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The small leader, ready to give instructions, froze when he saw the red-haired man\u2019s expression.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIf this were abroad, and Octo saw you, your promoting leader and their superior would probably be dragged down too,\u201d the red-haired man said playfully.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When the handsome young man finally freed himself from Octor and, along with the cameraman, reached the office, he saw the red-haired man standing there with a teasing expression and exaggerated concern.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The department leader across from him wiped tears, and the subordinate leader, shorter and with a beer belly, looked painfully awkward while crying.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMr. Chris, you went too far. How could you say that to me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The red-haired man said exaggeratedly: \u201cIt\u2019s just a joke, don\u2019t be so sensitive~\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He even patted the leader\u2019s shoulder as if they were close brothers, startling him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The leader looked helpless, unable to retaliate.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The handsome young man watched this and couldn\u2019t stand it. He stepped forward and asked what had happened. The department leader explained everything.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The handsome young man frowned and said to the red-haired man: \u201cYou\u2019re playing this bullying game on ordinary people again?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His voice was calm, but the tone was dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI remember I told you before, if I saw you play this game again, you would never see me again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, the comments on the livestream flooded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIf I hadn\u2019t seen the middle manager enter eight times this morning, I might really have believed he was being bullied.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWidower, don\u2019t be fooled! That guy is bullying ordinary employees!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat to do? Ordinary workers don\u2019t dare speak up. Are we really going to see Mr. Chris scolded?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026You guys treat this like a drama, thinking both sides stay silent? While you discuss, he\u2019s already playing the victim and complaining.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The comments drew everyone\u2019s attention back to the livestream\u2014by then, the red-haired man had finished his complaints.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He nearly tried to steal another kiss while the handsome young man looked embarrassed, but the young man pushed him away. When he glanced at the department leader, his expression turned serious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Next, everyone saw the young man\u2019s disciplinary skills. Unlike with the red-haired man, he didn\u2019t use physical force, he was polite, civil, and didn\u2019t swear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Yet it put considerable pressure on many viewers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The employees and livestream audience were full of envy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Where is your department\u2019s budget request? Making staff work overtime, though with pay, the company should also allocate funds to compensate them for lost rest time. Otherwise, why would employees voluntarily comply?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Saving labor costs for the company? All department funds aren\u2019t even enough for Octo private plane fuel, yet it\u2019s a big sum for employees\u2014are you going to let it generate interest on the account?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Wanting to manage employees to prevent slacking? Our company\u2019s wages aren\u2019t high enough to have employees on call 24\/7\u2014that\u2019s the job of a million-yuan-per-year personal assistant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cJust like Octo paying so much, yet only hiring someone like you,\u201d the handsome young man said calmly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The department leader looked even more embarrassed, nearly sinking into the floor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that moment, the blonde man entered. The handsome young man said to him: \u201cAsk your senior staff where they found such a miser. I don\u2019t get it\u2014they don\u2019t need to spend his money. Why is he so stingy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Seeing the young man\u2019s puzzled expression, the blonde man nodded gently and quietly explained a few things, avoiding the camera.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Meanwhile, his bodyguard rushed in and dragged the department leader out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The comments went wild: \u201cI should\u2019ve shown my boss, who makes me work overtime and withholds pay, what it\u2019s like!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cHe also started from the bottom, working abroad many years. Life only got better in the last two years, he probably suffered a lot before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cTrue, we thought living abroad was better, but now we see it could be worse than here. That\u2019s why he regulated department funds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The comments were full of admiration, and the observation room guests also praised his actions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Yet, because of class differences, a few guests who had opened companies had detached discussions\u2014like the top celebrity, the veteran, and Shi Xuanzhu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The veteran had closed his company and lived off savings, but his arrogance remained. Shi Xuanzhu agreed with his senior but added his own insight.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026This lesson is basically no different from the department leader\u2014both were crushed by someone stronger. He should reflect, if he truly thought as we guessed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu spoke gently, almost sympathetically.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that moment, a quiet voice beside him said: \u201cHave you reflected yourself? Yet you demand it from others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu instinctively turned his head and saw Song Yun smiling at him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI-I didn\u2019t do that. I haven\u2019t even run a company,\u201d Shi Xuanzhu said, sweating cold.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He hadn\u2019t run a company, but he instantly understood Song Yun\u2019s meaning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014It was about the mental infidelity matter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu didn\u2019t dare gamble, unsure how much evidence Song Yun had. He didn\u2019t dare assume the netizens were blind, so he chose to laugh it off.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun didn\u2019t continue speaking, just smiled and turned back to the screen. His words, however, caught the audience\u2019s attention.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The viewers were not fools, they quickly inferred the truth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next day, a new trending topic appeared on Weibo:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

#ActorShi XuanzhuCheated#<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By the time Shi Xuanzhu managed to suppress this, three days had passed. He took Song Yun out to dinner to prove their relationship was fine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When they returned home and stood at the entrance, Shi Xuanzhu looked at Song Yun, sighed deeply, hoping Song Yun would realize the trouble he had caused.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Song Yun was still thinking about the previous matter. He couldn\u2019t ask his brother, so he kept it in his heart, agonizing over it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was so focused he didn\u2019t notice Shi Xuanzhu sighing, nor the two extra people in the villa.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Until Shi Xuanzhu called out to the smart assistant to activate home mode.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next moment, he met a pair of stern eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They were the eyes a man feared most, belonging uniquely to his father.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu trembled and called out:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDad\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n
