7 pm.
Yunzhou returned home and saw Yunshu and Jinghang sitting in the drawing room. Seeing them sitting on the sofa, Yunzhou approached them.
"What are you doing here?"
"Yunzhou, my son, are you here? How was your time at the office?"
Yunshu asked Yunzhou questioningly.
"Not bad. But you know, this office work is not for me, I don't like it." Yunzhou said with fatigue and disappointment.
"I know, my son doesn't like these. That's why I have arranged for my son's favorite things."
Yunshu immediately held a flight ticket in front of Yunzhou. Yunzhou was happy to see the ticket. When he looked at the ticket, he saw "Yunnan" written in big letters.
" Tickets to Yunnan? "
" Yes. You've been wanting to go for a long time, so I thought I'd make some arrangements to celebrate your joining. "
Yunzhou hugged her and said, " Mommmm, you're the best. "
" But the flight is today...."
" Today? What time? 12 o'clock? "
" Hmm. Now hurry up and get ready. "
" Okay. "
As Yunzhou was about to go to his room, Jinghang stopped him.
" If you're leaving, what will happen to the office? Now you have a position in the office, and according to that position, you have some responsibilities. Now you can't just ignore your responsibilities and go wherever you want," Jinghang said.
Hearing Jinghang's words, Yunzhou went to him. Hugging him from behind, he said in a cheerful tone, "When I have my elder brother, Jinghang, what else do I have to worry about?"
" I always help you, but not this time. And what will I answer Mr. Xie?"
" I will explain to my Dad. Don't worry."
As soon as Yunzhou finished speaking, Yunshu and Jinghang made eye contact with each other. Yunzhou also notices.
Jinghang took out a piece of paper and placed it on the tri-table. Seeing the paper, a smile appeared on the corner of Yunzhou's lips. He immediately hid that smile with a curious look, before anyone could notice.
" What is this?"
" A document."
" A document! What document?" Yunzhou asked in surprise.
"In your absence, I will make all decisions for you and my decision will be the final decision."
"Ohhhh, give it here. I'll sign it."
Yunzhou took the document and sat down on the sofa. Yunshu came right in front of him and sat next to Jinghang.
Yunzhou finished reading each page of the document very quickly. When the document was almost finished, and there were only 3 pages left, Yunshu started to chase him.
"Yunzhou..... Sign it quickly. You have a flight."
At Yunshu's words, Yunzhou signed it without reading it completely.

As Yunzhou came out of the house, Yunshu was shocked to see him. He was wearing a full-sleeved shirt and pants. His entire body was covered.
"Why are you wearing this in such a hot summer?"
"I heard it's very cold in Yunnan."
"Ohhh, then bring some warm clothes for yourself when you go."
Yunshu handed over his credit card.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Yunzhou gets in the car.
---
A car accident has occurred.
Yunzhou is bleeding all over. Half of his body is inside the car and half outside. Almost dead, Yunzhou is not helped by Jinghang and a girl standing in front of him—instead, Jinghang sets the car on fire with a lighter.
As soon as the car caught fire, they left. Yunzhou is lying in the burning car.
When Jinghang's car disappears from there, Jie arrives.
As soon as Jie arrives, he grabs a fire extinguisher and puts out the fire in the driver's seat. Once the flames subside, he uses the empty extinguisher to check the seat for any remaining embers. When the door opens, Jie quickly pulls Yunzhou out of the car. As Jie helps him out, Yunzhou leans in and whispers in his ear.
"The car is going to explode."
Hearing Yunzhou's words, Jie screams in fear and runs with Yunzhou.
"What? Ahhh....."
As soon as they get a little distance away, the car explodes. Jie also fell on the road with Yunzhou.
Yunzhou laughed slowly, even though it hurt. Seeing him laugh, Jie frowned.
"You are laughing? If it had been a little longer, we would have burned to death in that car."
Yunzhou looked at Jie. He remembered the time they met in the cafeteria this afternoon.
It was 3 pm, and Yunzhou and Jie were both sitting in the cafeteria. Hearing Yunzhou's words, Jie said with a laugh,
"Are you crazy? Do you want to bring me with you? I'm not in this mass. Do whatever you want."
Jie got up and started to leave. Just then, Yunzhou took out a briefcase. Jie stopped when he saw it, frowning at Yunzhou.
"How much does your company pay you...? "
" 800 yuan. Why? "
" And how many hours do you work a day? "
" 15. "
" You definitely get 3 days off a month, right? "
"No. I have to work 6 days a week. Sometimes even the whole week." Jie had been talking so loudly until now, but now his words were no longer as loud as before.
"You've been working for 2 years, so you'll get a promotion soon, right...! "
Jie didn't answer. He sat there silently. Yunzhou smiled crookedly as he reached the top of his goal.
"Now think about it, you will stay with the company you have been loyal to for 2 years, without any promotion, vacation, or salary increase, with an uncertain future, or you will join me. Look, you have talent. You have amazing knowledge about programming, coding, and hacking. And I have money. So if we work as a team, both of us will benefit from each other's positions. You will get as much money as you want and I can have the power I want."
" Power? You still have power. So why all this?"
" I'll tell you later." Yunzhou looked at his watch, "I need to go somewhere now. There is a note inside the briefcase with the address and everything in detail. You have to reach the location at 9:01 AM. Don't be late."
Yunzhou got up and started to leave. However, after walking a few steps, he returned and placed a camera in front of Jie.
"And yes, when you reach the location, set the camera and start recording. I hope you will come."
Yunzhou leaves from there.
As he left, Jie opened the briefcase. He finds a note inside it. He puts the note in his pocket, takes the briefcase, and leaves the cafeteria.
Thinking back to the afternoon, Yunzhou taunts Jie, "I thought you wouldn't come. But turns out you aren't that much coward as I thought."
"You know very well, I will come. And that's why you risked your life like this without a backup plane."
"But if you had waited a little longer today, I would have really burned to death in this fire. Everyone would have thought it was an accident and forgotten about it. "
"A devil like you wouldn't die so quickly! "
Jie looks at Yunzhou from the side and sees him lying on the road. Jie gets scared and goes to him, puts his hand to his nose, and checks.
No, he is still breathing.
Without wasting any time, Jie carried Yunzhou on his back and went to his car. He put Yunzhou in the car, sat in the driver's seat himself, and started driving.

" Doctor, is Yunzhou okay? "
The doctor was checking Yunzhou when Jie asked her about Yunzhou's health situation, worriedly.
" Don't worry. Nothing much happened. But it could have. Because of the Kevlar Suit, the body was not injured much and the burns were minimal. He just lost consciousness due to inhaling too much smoke. If you treat him properly, he will be fine. And yes, you need to do some tests. When he regains consciousness, you should take care of these things."
" Okay, doctor. "
As soon as the doctor left, Jie pinched Yunzhou's stomach.
" She is gone. Now get up. No more drama. "
" Ouch....."
Yunzhou opened his eyes and looked at Jie with a narrowed eye.
"Are you human?? I'm a sick person and you're pinching me like this?? Shit, shame on you. "
" If you talk too much, I'll put you in that burning car. "
"In everything, just showing off your strength.... Huh.... Bastard. " he muttered.
Jie narrowed his eyes but gave up and sighed.
"Well, tell me, why did you follow their plan even after knowing all this? You still haven't given me any explanation. "
" I'm telling you. Before that, tell me, did you record the video I asked you to do?"
"Yes. Here, look."
Jie took out his phone and showed Yunzhou the video.
The video captured the entire scene of Yunzhou's car being hit by a truck and how Jinghang set the car on fire. However, the girl who was with Jinghang was wearing a mask—so her face could not be seen.
Yunzhou was upset after seeing the video.
"Who is this girl?" Jie asked with suspicion.
"If I knew that, why would I be a part of this stupid drama?" Yunzhou replied annoyingly.
He handed the phone back to Jie. Looking at his injured hand, he began to speak.
" Yunshu is my stepmother. "
" huhhhh! What???? "
Jie was very surprised by Yunzhou's words. He pauses for a moment. It was as if Lightning struck him.
