"You ungrateful girl! You're embarrassing your own mother! Do you want a spanking?" Tian Mengni scolded her daughter before turning to Su Ming with a charming smile.
"Handsome, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to open this supermarket."
"It's nothing. I was happy to help," Su Ming replied as he walked over and started helping clean up.
The supermarket's grand opening had been a huge success.
After the celebrations ended, the floor was littered with trash, and Tian Mengni couldn't possibly clean it all by herself.
With Su Ming and Tian Keke lending a hand, the store was finally spotless.
Stretching lazily, Tian Keke headed to the restroom.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tian Mengni sauntered over to Su Ming with an alluring smile.
"Handsome, has my daughter been behaving herself? Is she obedient?"
"She is," Su Ming answered.
Seeing her inch closer, he instinctively stepped back.
He definitely didn't want Tian Keke catching the two of them together—otherwise she'd explode.
"Hehe... Is she as charming as her mother?"
With that, Tian Mengni wrapped her arms around Su Ming's waist in an incredibly flirtatious embrace.
The mature woman's alluring fragrance immediately enveloped him.
Just as Su Ming was about to gently pull away, Tian Keke emerged from the restroom.
The moment she saw her mother openly flirting with Su Ming, she stormed over.
"Mom! Have you no shame? You're actually trying to steal my boyfriend right in front of me!"
"Oh, sweetheart, what are you saying?" Tian Mengni laughed seductively.
"Your beautiful, irresistibly charming mother is only giving him a hug. You won't even allow that?"
"What if I actually decided to date him? Would you cry?"
"Get lost!"
Tian Keke could no longer tolerate her outrageous mother and shot her a look full of contempt.
"Hehe. Out of all the daughters in the world, you're the stingiest. Such an unfilial child!"
Tian Mengni retorted with equal disdain.
Tian Keke was left completely speechless.
Even Su Ming couldn't help thinking this mother and daughter were truly one of a kind.
"We should get going."
"Sure! I want another ride in that Buick. It's so cool!"
Tian Mengni happily ran outside and deliberately stole the front passenger seat that Tian Keke had been using.
Throughout the drive, she gazed dreamily at Su Ming, making Tian Keke so angry she nearly exploded.
Poor Tian Keke felt utterly miserable.
It was already bad enough that girls at school seemed interested in Su Ming.
Now even her own shameless mother was trying to seduce him.
She was on the verge of tears.
After dropping the mother and daughter off at home, Su Ming didn't stay.
He drove back to his own house.
Wang Xiu had already gone to bed.
Seeing her bedroom door closed, he didn't disturb her.
Instead, he filled the bathtub and enjoyed a relaxing soak.
Feeling refreshed afterward, he poured himself a glass of water, took his medicine, spent some time on the computer, and before he knew it, it was already midnight.
Lying in bed, he found himself thinking about the mysterious teacher, Li Zimo.
Who exactly was she?
What kind of background did she have?
After pondering the question for a long time without finding an answer, he let it go.
Soon another question surfaced.
It had been nearly half a month since he accidentally received the superpower chip that had been mailed to the wrong address.
Surely its original owner must have realized the mistake by now.
So why hadn't anyone come looking for it?
It was such a valuable item.
Could they really have given up trying to retrieve it?
This was an important concern.
Su Ming didn't want to lose his newfound powers.
If someone ever came demanding the chip back, he had already decided he would deny ever receiving it.
"Xiao Shen, do you know anything about the person who originally sent you?"
"I don't," Xiao Shen replied.
"I have no information about my sender."
Su Ming sighed in disappointment before asking another question.
"Then what do you know about superpower chips in general?"
"You can't be the only one in the world."
"There must be many more chips like you."
"How did they come into existence?"
"Who created them?"
"Master, I do possess some information about that."
"Most superpower chips probably don't retain this kind of memory, but I was implanted with certain records you may find interesting."
"My creator was a genius scientist named Dr. Lan Wei."
"He was the most brilliant researcher at Sky Dragon Corporation."
"The vast majority of superpower chips in existence were manufactured and sold by Sky Dragon Corporation."
"Some other companies also produced similar chips, but none of them could compare."
"Sky Dragon Corporation's business spans the entire world."
"The number of people who have purchased superpower chips from them is beyond counting."
"In Yunyang City alone, there are probably several thousand users."
"Several thousand?"
Su Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Does that mean there are several thousand people with superpowers just in Yunyang City?"
Sky Dragon Corporation...
What an unbelievable company.
After sitting in stunned silence for quite some time, Su Ming finally spoke again.
"Xiao Shen, tell me more about Sky Dragon Corporation."
"I want to know its secrets."
"If someone comes one day to take you back, I won't know what to do."
"Without you, my life would lose all meaning."
"Please don't worry, Master."
"Once a superpower chip recognizes its master, it can never recognize another."
"The only exception is if the master voluntarily dissolves the contract."
"That is the only way we can ever be separated."
"Hehe... That's a relief."
Su Ming finally let out the breath he'd been holding.
"As for Sky Dragon Corporation..."
"I actually don't know much."
"But what I do remember is extremely important."
"Tell me!"
Su Ming urged impatiently.
"My memories indicate that..."
"Sky Dragon Corporation has already been destroyed."
"It no longer exists."
"Dr. Lan Wei is also dead."
"He was killed by a group of people."
"As for who they were..."
"My memories are incomplete."
"That's all I know."
"What?!"
Su Ming was utterly shocked.
Such an enormous corporation had actually been wiped out?
That was an earth-shattering event!
He didn't know exactly how powerful Sky Dragon Corporation had been.
But considering it had created something as miraculous as Xiao Shen—a superpower chip that was practically omnipotent—it was obvious the company possessed astonishing technology and influence.
Yet even such a powerful organization had been completely destroyed.
Just who were the people capable of annihilating them?
They had to be unimaginably powerful.
No matter what else Su Ming asked afterward, Xiao Shen's answer remained the same.
It simply didn't know.
It explained that many of its implanted memories were still locked.
Only by raising Su Ming's superpower level would those memories gradually unlock.
Left with no other choice, Su Ming gave up asking further questions.
Still, what he had learned tonight had deeply shaken him.
As for the original sender of the chip, Xie Yisha, and the intended recipient, Xia Tianming...
Who were they?
What relationship did they have?
He could only treat them as unsolved mysteries.
And then there were the mysterious people who had destroyed Sky Dragon Corporation.
For now, all of these remained enormous enigmas with no answers in sight.
