Bustling district, Principal Pang's home, study room:
Principal Pang sat in a chair with two tall and straight youths across from him.
In his hand, there was a black certificate with five large words on the cover. It was so blinding that it made his eyes burn.
"Principal Pang, are you done looking at the document?"
"Y-Yes," Principal Pang said as he handed the document back with trembling arms.
"Your superiors should've notified you of our identities yesterday."
"T-They did.
I don't doubt your identities. "
"Good, then."
One of the youths nodded. He then took out a document from his handbag and handed it to Principal Pang. "Principal, this is a confidentiality agreement. Please sign it."
"..." Principal Pang accepted the document and carefully read through it. His complexion immediately turned ugly as he asked, "May I ask what this is about?"
"No. Please sign it."
Although the youth's tone was polite, his tone was direct.
After a moment of silence, Principal Pang picked up a pen from the bookshelf and wrote down his name.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The youth received the document, folded it, and placed it in his handbag.
He then took out a small cylindrical device and stood up. He then started scanning the room.
Principal Pang fidgeted uneasily.
Wave after wave of invisible pressure surged towards him.
"There's no problem, Principal Pang. Please turn off your phone and hand it over to us for safekeeping."
"Okay."
While waiting for Principal Pang to turn off his phone, the youth stored the device away and walked up to the study room's door. He then knocked on the door three times.
Knock, knock, knock.
Knock, knock, knock.
The colleague behind the door rhythmically knocked on the door four times. Afterward, a series of strange noises could be heard. Every gap between the door and the door frame had been sealed with special tape.
"What is it?"
Principal Pang's forehead was covered in sweat.
Sitting back in his chair, the youth looked at Principal Pang and said word by word, "You've already read the confidentiality agreement. If you leak any of the contents of our conversation today..."
"I know. You two can speak."
"Okay.
You should know Chen Yu, right? He's from Class 2, Year 2. "
"Chen Yu?!" Principal Pang's eyes widened in shock.
…
After school ended at noon, Chen Yu skipped school again.
When he returned home, he breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was home.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Chen Yu noticed that Little Peach was still coding without a trace of fatigue.
"Mr. Chen, you're back."
"Mhm.
Since there's no one at home, quickly redecorate the bedroom. "
After saying so, Chen Yu tossed his bag aside and pointed at the white box in the corner of the room. "Stop writing for now. Help me move all the sensitive items in the room into the storeroom.
The propeller, the mask, the haori robe, the cheongsam, and everything else, take them away. "
"Alright."
Jumping out of her chair, Little Peach got to work.
Seeing this, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and called the renovation worker.
"Hello, I'm the one who placed the order with 85.
Master, where are you?
I'll pick you up downstairs.
Alright, alright … "
After disconnecting the call, Chen Yu joined in the transportation as well.
He did not feel at ease letting Little Peach handle this matter.
This artificial intelligence was worse than him.
In less than ten minutes, everything in the bedroom that should not be seen by others had disappeared.
Even the books Chen Yu had reviewed in the past were gone.
"There should be no problem."
After taking one last look around, Chen Yu walked to the entrance hall and said to Little Peach, "Turn invisible for now. Don't reveal yourself without my command."
"Understood!"
After watching Chen Yu leave through the door, Little Peach removed her dress and activated the optical invisibility effect. She then stood aside and waited quietly.
Very quickly, the security door opened once more, and Chen Yu led the three renovation workers into the house.
"Everyone, no need to take off your shoes. Come in," Chen Yu said. Turning around, he immediately noticed the dress lying in front of his bedroom, and he gnashed his teeth in anger.
"This scammer."
Hurriedly, Chen Yu picked up the dress, rolled it into a ball, and tossed it into the bathroom. He then turned around and pointed at his bedroom, smiling awkwardly. "It's here. Everyone, come in."
"Okay, okay."
The middle-aged man leading the team nodded and walked into Chen Yu's bedroom. After scanning the room, he narrowed his eyes.
"It's the ceiling. Can you repair the hole on it?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, but a full renovation will take at least two days."
"There's no need for a full renovation. Just fix the broken parts."
"Don't worry about the concrete and only repair the ceiling?"
"Sure!
Also, replace the few broken pieces of the floor. "
"Okay. We'll finish this quickly."
The renovation worker called over an apprentice and had him take a dozen photos of the floor and ceiling with his phone. He then had the apprentice purchase some building materials from the renovation market. He then started dismantling the damaged ceiling and got to work.
The renovation went from noon to three o 'clock in the afternoon.
Although the color of the newly purchased floor was slightly different from the original floor, Chen Yu did not fuss over it.
After sending off the three renovation workers, the smile on Chen Yu's face quickly disappeared. He then raised his wrist and revealed his watch. He then controlled the invisible camera to secretly take pictures of the trio.
Only after the trio had split up did Chen Yu give up on tracking them. He then sneered and recalled the camera.
Little Peach exited her invisible state and carefully looked around. She then said, "Mr. Chen, if this is all you're going to do, I can do it."
"You can do anything!"
Chen Yu fumed upon hearing Little Peach's words. He then walked into the bathroom, picked up the dress, and threw it at Little Peach's face. "Why didn't you put away the dress?!"
"… I forgot."
"…" Rubbing his swollen temples, Chen Yu sighed and said, "I'm going back to school. I'll do the livestream when I get back tonight.
Just focus on coding at home.
Only when you're making money will I feel like you're still an artificial intelligence. "
"I won't dare to do it again." Removing the dress covering her face, Little Peach lowered her head.
"If you dare to do it again, it'll be even worse. I've seen through you."
After saying so, Chen Yu pushed open the door and left.
"Ugh …"
Scratching her head, Little Peach returned to her bedroom naked. She then sat down at her desk and continued typing on the keyboard.
While typing, she muttered, "I seem to have forgotten something again …"
…
Night, 7: 15 PM:
Chen Yu returned home after school.
Mother Chen was cooking, Chen Erke was drawing, and Chen Sanke was hugging her empty feeding bottle tightly and running around the coffee table.
Meanwhile, Chen Yike was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm back."
"Big Brother is back!
I love you? ~ "Chen Erke ran over and hugged Chen Yu's left leg.
"Big Brother is back!
I love you!
(* ́ ▽ ́ *) "Chen Sanke also ran over and grabbed her feeding bottle. She then hugged Chen Yu's right leg.
The two girls were still competing with each other for Chen Yu's favor.
"Good girls."
Rubbing his two little sisters' furry heads, Chen Yu felt especially comfortable.
This was the way of "balance."
After entering his bedroom, Chen Yu locked the door while thinking about tonight's livestream script.
"Welcome home, Mr. Chen." Little Peach jumped out of her chair cheerfully.
"Hmm … Hmm?
Why aren't you wearing any clothes? "
…
At the same time, inside Chen Yike's bedroom …
Chen Yike wore a worried expression as she looked at the dress in front of her big brother's room.
"Hah, my perverted big brother …"
