Chapter 36: She Was a Parasitic Host Gu Qiutang said nothing about Zhu Zhaojie. Gu Kunling must have told him. But Gu Qiutang had said he wouldn't interfere in the new company unless something major happened. He wanted me to make my own calls. So no warning came. I still hadn't figured out why Zhu Zhaojie had appeared. I just felt that abnormal events hid sinister causes. But where? I didn't have Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils to see through it. Gu Kunling resisted Zhu Zhaojie, but all I could…-

Chapter 35: The Amnesiac Zhu Zhaojie Gu Kunling's Gu Kun Investment Company was in the heart of Zhongguan Village, not in the Gu Building—closer, in fact, to the Du Group tower. Lanqi Garden was technically part of the Zhongguan Village district, but its fame had long since eclipsed the neighborhood itself. The Gu Kun Investment Company was still in its start-up phase. I did not have much to do, and I was an outsider to the field anyway. Mostly I sat in on meetings with Gu Kunling, listened to…

My father has always said that my bond with this family was destined before I was even born. He has been telling the story for more than twenty years. When I was in elementary school, it was a bedtime tale; after I grew up, it became something he would recount in casual conversation at family dinners. Every time he tells it, his eyes hold an indescribable mixture of tenderness and wonder. It was the summer thirty years ago. My mother was nine months pregnant with me, her belly as round as though she…-

The sun during the dog days of summer was vicious, as though fire had been poured over the land. It was a little after one in the afternoon, and waves of heat shimmered above the country road. The asphalt gleamed with an oily sheen, while even the weeds along the roadside hung their heads, limp beneath the sun. I gripped the steering wheel as sweat ran from my forehead down my cheeks. The air conditioner was turned up as high as it would go, but the car still felt unbearably stuffy. My older sister…

Chapter 34: A Mess Everywhere Faced with questions about my family, Gu Qiutang clearly didn't want to answer. "Some things I am not in a position to answer. I hope you'll have patience for what comes next. Once you have sufficient ability, you'll see them. Then you can ask them yourself." "What level of ability do you mean? And did my parents truly pass away?" "By ability, I mean at least the ability to see them. Without sufficient ability, even standing before you, you couldn't see…

Chapter 33: An Astonishing Conversation with Gu Qiutang After wrapping up the Zhuo Group case, I brought many eminent monks from Tansong Temple to the incapacitated people's base twice to help ease the bitterness and anguish in their hearts. The temple also funded a small medical facility dedicated to relieving their physical pain and illness. Pingdu Hospital took the initiative to donate medicine and sent doctors to hold free consultations. I invited Dr. Yan to do the same. Pingdu Hospital's…

Chapter 32: The Aftermath of the Tower's Collapse While sorting through the financial data, I discovered an even more terrifying fact: the Zhuo Group had a massive funding shortfall in its borrowings from numerous investment banks. The Zhuo Group clearly had two sets of financial systems. According to its real financial reports, the group's total financial assets had long been unable to repay the huge loans owed to major banks—and that didn't even include funds circulating with business partners.…

Chapter 31: Taking Revenge on a Romantic Rival The Zhuo Group was a major financial conglomerate in every sense of the word. Its portfolio included investments in as many as a hundred nationally known companies. Zhuo Weidong, son of the head of the Zhuo Group, was a famous playboy. Admirers clustered around him like stars circling the moon, and for a time he was wildly popular. As a super-rich second-generation heir, he had beautiful women throwing themselves at him in droves. Online gossip about him…

Chapter 30: The Electronic Murder Weapon Reappears The three items were normal projects. On the surface, none threatened anyone. Du Changfeng called me partly to help find who'd harmed him and prevent it happening again. Partly to pull me back into the group. As for my relationship with Du Xinlang, anyone with eyes understood. It was just that I had not sorted out my own thinking, so I had never intended to return to the group. Saving Du Changfeng's life accidentally raised his trust to its…

Chapter 29: Return The old man moved with startling agility. In moments he'd shredded the blanket, one hand knife-edged and driving toward my throat. By then I was already behind him. I hooked my fingers like pincers and dug into the upper back of his neck—the key junction of the neural network. The Sweeper files were clear: every AI micro-bio brain–computer interface connected through the human neural network. The microelectronic intelligent-brain module also relied on the human body's…
