In the spring of 2026, at a large live-action CS outdoor arena.
A real-life murder mystery game was about to begin. A man in black was pacing back and forth, as if waiting for someone.
A man next to him was rambling on, “Leo, I asked the screenwriter to write another script, a transmigration one… Do you want to take a look?”
How could the man called Leo have the patience to hear him chant scriptures? He pushed away the script in his hand. “Mark, call her again.”
With no other choice, Mark took out his phone and sent a message. After a moment, he got a reply, “She said her daughter broke up with her boyfriend. She’s afraid her daughter might do something foolish, so she wants to stay home and keep her company…”
“Daughter?!” Leo was shocked.
Only one thought remained in his mind now: She has a daughter, and her daughter is already at the age to date…
Looking at his shocked expression, Mark’s stomach hurt from laughing so hard. “Let me tell you…”
In the end, Leo did not listen to him at all. He turned around and left, “Cancel it for today.”
In the garden, Leo looked at the Tibetan Mastiff lying in the cage, patted its head, and said to the butler nearby, “Keep a close eye on it. If that Husky comes back again, chase it away directly.”
“Alright.” Standing nearby, the old butler maintained a kind smile throughout, but it did not affect the output of his true inner thoughts.
It’s fine if you don’t look for a girlfriend, but what business of yours is it if someone else’s dog finds a girlfriend? You insists on tearing them apart!
You’re even more of a dog than an actual dog!
You deserve to be single!
Leo’s phone rang, and he answered it.
“President Lei, Old Lady Tong still refuses to move out. She has already climbed onto the rooftop threatening to jump. She said she must meet with you face-to-face!”
Lei Yihong hung up the phone, turned around to the garage, drove out a sports car, and sped away.
On the rooftop, Tong Xiaoqian was drinking beer, looking at the Husky on the ground who had lost all desire to live. “Phyllis, can’t you have some ambition?”
Who could tell her why a Husky, known as the captain of the demolition squad among dogs, would be so love-brained?
Just tell her, isn’t this ridiculous?
So in the end, she named the mixed-breed dog son of that Tibetan Mastiff and Husky “Li Dapu”—Extremely Ridiculous.
This appearance really was… ridiculous…
“Wait for me to find you eight or ten handsome dogs for you to pick as you like. What breed do you want? Tibetan Mastiff? Alaskan Malamute? Or Golden Retriever?”
Two-legged good men are hard to encounter, but are four-legged handsome dogs still hard to find?
The phone rang, and Tong Xiaoqian answered, “…Grandma Tong is going to jump off the building? I’ll be right there!”
Hanging up the phone, she angrily picked up a dart and threw it hard at a picture of a man on the wall, “Dog profiteer!”
The dart hit the man right between the brows.
She changed her clothes, picked up her helmet, and looked at the stupid dog on the ground, “Phyllis, you’re not allowed to run outside. Li Dapu, watch your mother!”
Going downstairs, she got on her Ducati and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.
She did not know that the moment she left, Phyllis rushed down from upstairs, with Li Dapu following closely behind.
She and another brother and sister were adopted by Grandma Tong since childhood. Now that they have all grown up, they wanted to bring the old woman to live with them, but Grandma Tong had an obsession with that place and refused to leave even if it cost her life.
She said she had to wait for someone.
With no other choice, they could only take turns staying with her. They had almost persuaded her, but now that Grandma Tong heard the building was going to be demolished, her stubborness flared up again.
Earlier, she had tried several times to find the person in charge to talk, hoping they could give them some time so they could persuade her without provoking the old woman.
However, she was turned away at the door every time.
Once, she blocked their general manager’s car in the underground parking lot, only to be blasted with a cloud of exhaust fumes, which made her so angry that she chased him for several streets.
She chose a remote road. It was not easy to ride on, but she could speed.
Riding like lightning, she headed in the direction of the demolition building.
In front of the abandoned building stood a tall man, and next to him, a giant monster resembling an excavator was already raring to go.
Hearing the sound of a motorcycle approaching from afar, the man turned his head to look. A modified Ducati arrived at full speed, executed a beautiful drift, and came to a steady stop.
If the occasion were not wrong, he would really want to praise, “Beautiful!”
The person on the motorcycle wore a black biker suit. With her back to him, she took off her helmet, and a head of dark, lustrous hair fell down like a waterfall.
He was very familiar with this motorcycle, or rather, this woman had chased him…
Chased him for several streets.
Holding the helmet in her hand, Tong Xiaoqian turned around and got off the bike, walking toward the man with large strides.
Looking at the figure walking over, the man thought this arrogant, ruthless stride looked a bit like…
Tong Xiaoqian walked over and stopped. This man was Lei Yihong, the general manager of the Lei Group whom she had seen in magazines.
She was incomparably familiar with this face. The magazine page featuring his close-up photo was stabbed with darts countless times every day by her!
Lei Yihong calmly looked at the woman in front of him. The outer corners of her eyes turned upward, giving her a somewhat sharp look. Her facial features carried a slight exotic mixed-race feel, very glamorous.
However, in his view, beautiful skins were all identical, not as good as an interesting soul.
Tong Xiaoqian raised her head and looked at him, “Where is Grandma Tong?”
Lei Yihong withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to make a gesture toward the excavator driver, and was about to turn around and leave.
Seeing that she was ignored, Tong Xiaoqian reached out, grabbed him, and questioned again, “Profiteer, I’m asking you about Grandma Tong…”
Lei Yihong reached out to brush her hand away when suddenly, a pile of bricks and concrete blocks collapsed from upstairs with a rustle, heading right down toward them.
The driver on the excavator was dumbfounded on the spot. H-H-He didn’t seem to have touched anything just now, right?
He wanted to flee now. If the boss kicked the bucket, wouldn’t he have to suffer the consequences?
Tong Xiaoqian felt a burst of severe pain in her head. She seemed to hear Grandma Tong screaming “Qianqian” mournfully.
In her confusion, she saw Grandma Tong rushing toward her, and she felt fortunate in her heart. Luckily, Grandma Tong was fine…
Then she lost consciousness and fell into darkness…
When she opened her eyes again, her head felt a severe pain, dizzy and confused.
“Damn profiteer! So lacking in sportsmanship! Absolutely wicked to the core!” Tong Xiaoqian cursed under her breath.
She now suspected that profiteer wanted to murder her for money.
“Get up…”
Before she could finish cursing to her heart’s content, she heard a weak man’s voice ring out beside her ear.
This voice…
Profiteer!
As a reflex, Tong Xiaoqian straightened her body. Her vision gradually regained clarity, and she found half of her body lying on top of a man.
She turned her head to look at the man, just about to open her mouth to curse, but ended up choking the words right back in.
The man in front of her was extremely thin, with prominent cheekbones, a pale face, and lips lacking any color at all, half-dead…
Looking as if he might pass away at any moment without catching his breath.
Lei Yihong felt his limbs were weak and limp, and his head was dizzy. Just as he woke up, he heard that woman’s voice.
He opened his eyes somewhat weakly. The woman in front of him seemed a bit different.
Her hair was a bit messy, her eyes unusually red and swollen as if she had just cried, and why was she wearing two twin braids?
