"That's it..."
Chen Beixuan let out a breath and voluntarily exited the game.
......
Taking off his helmet, he slowly sat up.
Because he came out a few minutes early, Xiao Lu beside him was still asleep.
It was already bright outside. After going to the bathroom, he checked his body changes.
With a +220 increase in Strength, Chen Beixuan found his muscles were even more solid, full of power.
Everything around him felt light. When brushing his teeth, the toothpaste shot up to the ceiling.
"I guess I'll need some time to adapt..."
Chen Beixuan felt a little helpless.
"Grandpa! Grandpa?"
At this moment, Xiao Lu's shouts rang out, and he quickly responded.
"Grandpa's here, Grandpa's washing up, I'll be right there."
As his voice fell, he heard Xiao Lu shuffling her feet as she ran over. Upon seeing Chen Beixuan, she let out a sigh of relief like an adult.
Then, she frowned her little eyebrows, her cheeks chubby: "Grandpa, don't run around, and make sure to call me when you go out~"
Chen Beixuan, holding the toothbrush delicately with a 'finger orchid' gesture, brushed his teeth carefully, mumbling indistinctly.
"Mm... Mm... I got it..."
Seeing that Grandpa was obedient, Xiao Lu contentedly returned to her room to wash up.
......
Even during breakfast, Chen Beixuan was still a bit unaccustomed.
He dared not hold the bowl, only gently pinching the spoon to drink his porridge, his entire head almost buried on the table.
Zhou Xiuya's eyes were a bit dark, clearly having not slept well last night.
Looking at Chen Beixuan drinking porridge in a strange posture, she hesitated to speak.
"Mr. Chen..."
"Slurp~"
The sound of slurping porridge interrupted her words.
Chen Beixuan, with grains of porridge still on his lips, looked up, a little puzzled.
"Hmm? Did you just say something?"
Zhou Xiuya was silent for half a second, then suddenly shook her head.
"Nothing... If the porridge isn't enough, I'll add more for you."
Chen Beixuan narrowed his eyes, observing her.
Dark circles under her eyes, clearly something on her mind.
In this situation, either she liked him, or she wanted to resign because of last night's events.
Although he now had money and abs, he still had some self-awareness.
"You want to resign?"
"Ah... I..."
Zhou Xiuya was stunned by the question, unsure how to answer.
At first, she did want to resign, but she also really liked Xiao Lu and had developed some feelings for her.
Moreover, Chen Beixuan was not a demanding person; he wasn't picky, had no strange habits, and was much more amiable compared to other employers, which she quite appreciated.
So she had been hesitating and struggling.
Chen Beixuan saw her difficulty and struggle and didn't press, merely speaking to himself.
"I respect any choice you make, and I can understand your concerns. Whether you stay or leave is your right. Just let me know once you've decided."
Although his body had recovered, Chen Beixuan had already grown accustomed to having someone clean and take care of things. At worst, he could just find another person in advance.
"No... Aunt Xiuya, you can't leave~"
Xiao Lu, who was beside them, finally understood. She immediately got down and shook Zhou Xiuya's arm, her eyes welling up.
Looking at the teary-eyed Xiao Lu, Zhou Xiuya boldly made a decision.
She smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Chen, would you like more porridge?"
Seeing this, Chen Beixuan smiled knowingly, handed over his bowl, and waved his hand grandly.
"...Two more bowls!"
Zhou Xiuya got up to get more porridge, leaving only Xiao Lu, who was anxious and indignant, unable to help but shout.
"...What time is it and you're still eating porridge? Grandpa, why aren't you worried at all!"
Chen Beixuan and Zhou Xiuya exchanged glances, then burst into laughter!
......
Not long after breakfast, Night Owl personally came to visit.
Zhou Xiuya took Xiao Lu back to her room, and the two men sat down in the living room.
After a few brief pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
"According to our investigation, the attackers were Sakura spies who had been lurking in the mainland for a long time, and there's also the shadow of United States involved. This is confirmed information."
"Fortunately, they were quite rushed when they received the mission and weren't fully prepared, so they used homemade improvised bombs and suicide cars combining gasoline barrels with nails. If they had been given more time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
At this point, Night Owl let out a long breath and continued,
"As for the reason, it's simple: your performance in the Myriad Worlds was too outstanding, and it would affect the national wars and the invisible struggles between countries in the future. Since they couldn't deal with you in the game, they chose to deal with you in reality."
Chen Beixuan nodded silently, taking everything to heart.
At this moment, Night Owl suddenly changed the subject, his gaze casually sweeping over Chen Beixuan.
"However... there was a strange thing at the scene. There were five spy thugs in total. Xu Jing killed one, but the other four died somewhat bizarrely..."
Chen Beixuan had already prepared himself mentally. At this moment, he feigned surprise and asked,
"Oh? How bizarre?"
Night Owl stared at him meaningfully, enunciating each word.
"They all died of cardiac arrest caused by electric shock. Don't you think... that's bizarre?"
"Such a thing happened? Was it an electric shock?"
Chen Beixuan still showed a surprised and amazed expression, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest, as if truly contemplating the possibility of an electric shock.
Night Owl found nothing unusual about him, so he slowly withdrew his gaze and spoke to himself.
"Whether it was an electric shock or not, it doesn't matter anymore. The security of the community has now been taken over by us, and personnel will be strictly controlled in the future to ensure such a situation doesn't happen again."
Chen Beixuan suddenly remembered those who had sacrificed and asked,
"Hmm... those who sacrificed..."
"The country will take care of them. You don't need to feel too guilty about this. It's their duty, and no one can avoid it," Night Owl said seriously.
Chen Beixuan slowly nodded, then stood up.
"I'm going to the restroom. You sit tight."
"Okay."
Night Owl agreed, then sat in place and slowly fell into thought.
He had initially suspected Chen Beixuan was involved in the deaths of those thugs, but after some interaction, he found nothing.
"Could it really have been just a coincidence of electric shock..."
As he pondered deeply, his gaze inadvertently swept over the sofa armrest beside him, and his pupils slightly brightened!
He saw a finger-sized indentation on the smooth, solid wood armrest!
Upon closer inspection, the cracks and breaks were very new, having just appeared!
"How much strength would that take..."
Night Owl was secretly shocked.
Recalling Chen Beixuan's action of tapping the armrest just now, a bold conjecture suddenly formed in his mind...
