Chapter 90: I’ll Come See You in a Couple of Days

"Manman, do you not like Uncle Pat?"After returning home, Yu Man began to ask her daughter, having already put the recent events behind her.

Yu Manman nodded repeatedly, her face flushed as she said, "Mom! He’s a bad person!"

While in the office, the moment Yu Manman saw Pat, the system’s voice sounded.

[Ding! Your mother and the Beast Husband Song Chen researched a Rest Pod. Just when they were about to succeed, the Rest Pod malfunctioned, causing the Beastman participating in the experiment to have a mental breakdown, going berserk on the spot! This incident was suddenly exposed, and afterward, the company went bankrupt. Pang Xiaoyu committed suicide, confessing in a letter that he tampered with the system!

But actually, the one who forced Pang Xiaoyu to tamper and commit suicide was Pat!

Many years later, Song Chen regrouped and, despite immense pressure, managed to create a renewed Rest Pod! You were incited by Pat to steal the confidential information and hand it over to him. Pat sold it to Flynn Company, causing Song Chen to be accused of stealing Flynn Company’s secrets and even personally testified against by Pat!

Now that you’ve realized your mistake and found the hiding Song Chen, Pat remains at large!]

[Current Villain Redemption Task Issued: Please atone for your wrongs by bringing Pat to justice!]

[Task Difficulty: Eight Stars!]

[Task Reward: A bottle of Heart Cleansing Pill! Consuming it removes all distractions! Brings peace and calm!]

Yu Man’s expression changed slightly, her eyes gradually becoming serious.

The system again?

Yu Man held her daughter’s hand, "Manman, tell me everything in detail?"

Yu Manman bit her lip, trying to convey her thoughts as much as the system’s constraints allowed.

Luckily, the system was just a human-machine interface with limited ’intelligence’ and arrived eighteen years early. These events had long since occurred within the system’s data!

"Mom’s invention..."

"The Rest Pod." Yu Man realized immediately.

"That bad uncle..." With occasional words and gestures, Yu Manman conveyed enough for Yu Man to guess the general situation.

Pat wanted to harm the company and frame Pang Xiaoyu.

For some unknown reason, Pang Xiaoyu did it, and afterward, was forced by Pat to commit suicide...

Yu Man thought of Pat’s often smiling face, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back.

Whether it was Pat or Pang Xiaoyu, both had known Song Chen for over ten years, ever since Song Chen was in the Undersea City.

He had heard from Song Chen that Pat and Pang Xiaoyu together had saved him once when he was in danger, and afterward, the three had gone through many experiences together.

Did Pat betray Song Chen?

Listening to Yu Manman’s fragmented description, Yu Man guessed that after Pat betrayed Song Chen, he ignored Pang Xiaoyu’s death and shamelessly stayed by Song Chen’s side, pretending to be a loyal friend...

Yu Man was starting to feel restless.

She was now eager to meet Song Chen.

Yu Man took a deep breath and decided.

She would wait for Song Chen to return and discuss it then; this matter couldn’t be rushed...

Yu Man thought for a moment and sent a message to Lai.

—"Help me investigate Pat and Pang Xiaoyu at Chen’s company! See if there’s anything unusual..."

Lai quickly replied, "Okay."

Yu Man put down her phone, lost in thought.

"Ding!"

Yu Man glanced at her Light Brain Bracelet; it was a video call from Liang Siji.

"Wife master~"

"I’m on the set, so tired! I pulled three all-nighters!"

Liang Siji was dressed in red women’s clothes, mimicking the once-popular Hanfu before the apocalypse, with lightly curled wigs and hairpins, and rosy lips...

He looked completely like a native beauty! There wasn’t a hint of incongruity in his cross-dressing.

However, probably from staying on set too long, Liang Siji’s spirits weren’t good, visibly looking more and more worn out with obvious exhaustion!

"Wife master, I miss you so much! But I still have lots and lots of scenes to complete, probably won’t have time to come home for half a month! Memorizing the script is driving me crazy!"

Liang Siji showed Yu Man the script, "Wife master..."

"I miss you, and I miss our Manman!"

"Wife master, didn’t you promise to visit the set?" Liang Siji looked at Yu Man with teary eyes, "Wife master, when are you coming?"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Yu Man said helplessly, "I’ll come to see you in a couple of days, okay?"

"In a few days, I need to go to Zone 9 to fulfill this month’s KPI. Then I’ll bring Manman to see you."

As a Purification Master, Yu Man needed to purify the Spiritual Sea of non-Beast husband people every month to meet her purification quota as an S-level Purification Master.

In a couple of days, it would be the date Yu Man had arranged with the other side.

And Liang Siji happened to be filming in Zone 9, so they could go together to see him.

Liang Siji’s eyes lit up!

"Sounds good! Wife master! I’ll be waiting for you!" Liang Siji chuckled.

"Mr. Liang... it’s time for your scene..."

From Liang Siji’s side, a reminder sounded.

"Got it!" Liang Siji’s smile faded, "Wife master, I need to go shoot my scene now, I’ll be waiting for you!"

"Wife master! Once I’m done, I’ll book a hotel for you, and you must come early!"

"Alright, alright!" Yu Man laughed helplessly, "I’ll set off the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Deal!"

Liang Siji finally had something to look forward to, ended the video, adjusted his state, and started working!

Probably wanting to finish work sooner, Liang Siji was in unusually good form, with many scenes done in one take.

After finishing, Liang Siji quickly checked the nearby hotels.

"Hmm... let’s go with the Videng Hotel!" It’s a six-star hotel conveniently close to both the set and the medical base!

He booked a luxury suite with a small living room and two bedrooms!

"Little President Guan, I’ve booked the hotel for you, it’s at the Videng Hotel." The assistant took Guan Heng’s suitcase, "Please, get in the car."

"Hmm..."

Guan Heng got into the car and lay on the seat.

After sending Yu Man home, Guan Heng received a new task from his honorable mother.

There were some troubles in Zone 9 that needed handling, and Guan Lingxue was currently very busy, without the time to spare.

But the matter was important, and Guan Lingxue didn’t trust anyone else to handle it. Coincidentally, she heard from Lingchuan’s people who praised Guan Heng in front of her.

Thus, Guan Heng gloriously took up the duty, with a helpful assistant assigned to him.

—"Honorable Mother, if I do this well, can you promise me one thing?"

—"Don’t just say one thing, even ten things, as long as I can do it, I’ll agree! Hurry up and go!"

Guan Heng looked outside, thinking.

Once he handled this matter, he’d confess to his honorable mother that he liked Yu Man!

He believed his honorable mother would agree, right?

Guan Heng snapped back to attention, starting to look down at the materials the temporary assistant had given him.

It was a bit tricky, but no problem, he could handle it...
