#Project_An_No.1_Victims topped the hot search rankings.

When Project An No.1 was first established, the original intention was to recruit one hundred patients for clinical reaction experiments.

However, Huo’s company at that time did not want to invest in this.

So how were the clinical reaction experiments eventually conducted?

They were conducted on patients in hospitals.

They were conducted without the knowledge of the patients.

The families of the patients also lost their loved ones without their knowledge.

More than ten years later, they received the notification of the drug trial.

Now the families of the victims are jointly suing the Huo Corporation.

“Huo Yanlin, did you do it on purpose?”

“We asked you to negotiate, but why did you insist on flaunting the power of the Huo family.”

Huo Yanlin frowned at these hypocritical people.

They were all related parties back then, and now that they are being sued and arrested, they are starting to panic.

“Don’t be naive, he never intended to negotiate.”

Shen Yin had no intention of negotiating at all; he had prepared for this long ago.

Otherwise, how did this hot search top the rankings so quickly?

“What should we do now?”

What else can they do…

Song Tan also saw the hot search.

Without thinking, she knew it was Shen Yin’s doing.

She never expected that the Huo family would rise to prominence through such disregard for human life.

They were truly a group of hypocrites.

[007, don’t you guys do background checks when selecting the male lead?]

System 007 (Retired Version) : [……]

This is beyond its regulatory scope.

It’s a system responsible for the transformation of supporting roles; it doesn’t have the authority to manage the leads.

[Isn’t this a major mistake? Even though you’re retired now, shouldn’t you report it proactively?]

The system detects reasonable information.

Although the male lead did not participate in the events of that year, his family committed a serious mistake and must face the consequences of this world’s rules.

But the male lead…

It depends on how he chooses.

If he chooses to preserve his family, he will lose his qualification as the male lead.

And if…

Song Tan rubbed her temples, tapping her index finger there.

Needless to say, Huo Yanlin will definitely choose to abandon the family.

Huo Yanlin is a selfish person; in this kind of situation, he will definitely prioritize himself.

Song Tan sighed lightly.

“Why the sigh?”

Shen Yin just entered the courtyard and saw Song Tan sighing.

When she sighed, there was a hint of sorrow on her.

Still… quite beautiful.

Shen Yin had already walked up to Song Tan and reached out to hold her hand.

Song Tan looked up at him.

Shen Yin looked into her eyes, his gaze deepening.

But at this moment, Song Tan hadn’t realized that Shen Yin’s thoughts had already deviated.

“This, did you do it?”

Shen Yin glanced around and nodded.

“The Huo family is very likely to abandon the car to save the commander.”

The news Shen Yin burst out might be a blow to the Huo family, but…

“You don’t need to worry about the Huo family’s affairs. What’s the most important task for you now?”

Song Tan : ?

Song Tan’s nose was tapped lightly.

“How’s your studying going? The exam is coming up soon.”

Song Tan : “…”

She was still concerned about his parents, but he was thinking about her exams.

Song Tan glanced at Shen Yin, but seeing his expression calm, he must have his own plans.

So, she shouldn’t worry about it for now.

“No problem, it’s just…”

“Just what?”

“On the day of the exam, could…” Song Tan blinked, signaling him.

“Could what?” Shen Yin naturally understood what she wanted to say.

“Of course… give me some of your hair, I’ll make a talisman for good luck.”

Shen Yin : ?

“Just use this.”

Song Tan pulled out a cloth bag from somewhere, the bag was bigger than a human head.

“You want to use this to hold my hair?”

Song Tan nodded earnestly.

Shen Yin realized what she meant and chuckled.

“Then you might as well put me in it and take me to the exam hall.”

Song Tan sighed lightly, “I wish I could, but I’m sure the exam supervisors wouldn’t allow that.”

About the exam, Song Tan wasn’t actually worried.

Her level had long been up to par; she just lacked the opportunity to take the exam.

Talking about these things with Shen Yin was just to cheer him up a bit.

People like Shen Yin and her were not accustomed to showing their innermost thoughts to others.

So, anything upsetting was usually kept hidden deep inside.

She wasn’t someone who would comfort others, nor would he seek comfort from her.

So, just divert his attention with something else.

However, Song Tan found that she had overthought.

In a short while, Shen Yin bent down and carried her into the bedroom.

Song Tan looked at the sky, which hadn’t yet darkened, and then looked at her helplessly. “Teacher Shen, it’s broad daylight, isn’t this inappropriate?”

Shen Yin glanced at her. “It’s just right during the day.”

Song Tan : “…” This is a bit twisted.

Song Tan buried herself in Shen Yin’s embrace.

As a result, Shen Yin placed her on the chair in front of the dressing table.

Song Tan looked at him with confusion.

“I’m giving you something.”

Why sit in front of the dressing table when giving a gift?

Shen Yin didn’t explain, but his hand rested on Song Tan’s hair.

Song Tan’s hair was very long, black, and shiny, untouched by any dye, with a very nice texture.

Normally, Song Tan would just let her hair hang loose.

But now, Shen Yin had styled her hair into a bun, with a hairpin inserted into it.

“This…”

“My mother left this for her future daughter-in law.”

Shen Yin’s gaze lingered on the hairpin in her hair and praised, “It’s beautiful.”

Song Tan didn’t usually style her hair like this, but the hairstyle Shen Yin gave her today looked quite good on her.

Especially the hairpin, it was quite unique.

The body of the hairpin was made of gold, and it had a jade bead hanging from it.

The jade bead was round and smooth, obviously well taken care of.

Shen Yin had given her his beloved possession.

Song Tan’s heart fluttered.

[Host, is your conscience hurting?]

Song Tan : [Can your data even detect a conscience?]

[No, but it can detect your current mood, which indeed seems complex.]

Her current mood was indeed complex.

“Do you like it?” Shen Yin asked her.

“I do, but it’s so precious.”

The value of this hairpin exceeded mere money.

Its significance was quite different.

“But only you can wear it.”

Shen Yin wasn’t consulting with her.

Although he still had that gentle demeanor, it was different from before.

There was now a hint of dominance in his figure.

Just like now, the hairpin must be worn on her head.

Song Tan found herself at a loss between laughter and tears.

She felt complicated because she believed her luck had never been good since childhood. What she desired, she never obtained.

Even if she did, she would lose it eventually.

Therefore, she reserved herself when it came to Shen Yin.

She didn’t want to lose him.

But Shen Yin’s reaction was somewhat unexpected for her.

His kindness used to be subtle.

Now… he entrusted her with something so precious.

Song Tan reached out and tightly hugged Shen Yin’s neck. “I don’t have anything precious to give you, so here’s a big hug.”

Shen Yin chuckled at her words and lifted her from the chair. “Besides a hug, can you give me something else?”

“What do you want?”

“Something we can’t do openly in broad daylight.”

Song Tan’s face flushed instantly, burying her face in Shen Yin’s neck, making Shen Yin laugh softly.

However, Shen Yin also teased her aloud, lifting her and carrying her to the kitchen. “Since you’re happy today, I’ll cook something delicious for you.”

“Okay.”

Song Tan obediently sat down and watched Shen Yin cook.

Song Tan could sense that Shen Yin was acting a bit unusual today, and she could probably guess why.

His mother had an accident overseas. Even if he knew who did it, without evidence, he couldn’t bring them to justice.

In the original plot, he wanted to take action abroad. That was the reason, right?

Now, the plot has changed, and he doesn’t seem to have the intention to go abroad.

It seems like… the original plot won’t happen.

But he couldn’t take revenge, he must be feeling very upset, right?

“Let me help you.”

Song Tan stood up, ready to roll up her sleeves, but Shen Yin pressed her back down.

“No need, just sit here obediently.”

“No, I can still do something.”

Song Tan stood up again.

This time, Shen Yin directly wrapped his arms around her waist, turned her around, and kissed her lips.

Song Tan : “…”

“Okay, the oil is hot now, you better step back a bit, or else…”

Song Tan retreated a few steps, understanding the gesture.

It’s best not to engage in kitchen play.
