“You mean, Song Tan and Shen Yin came out once, and then went back in?”

In the current situation, Shen Yin and Song Tan appearing in Huo’s mansion is a very big deal.

They came in, came out, and in again. They’re afraid Old Master has promised the two something.

What could he promise the couple?

Someone couldn’t sit still.

Old Master Huo is cautious; he wants to test the effectiveness first to avoid being deceived by Song Tan.

Song Tan doesn’t mind; she’s ready to give the old master a couple of shots first.

As soon as the old master sees the needles, his guard goes up.

“How do I know if this needle is to save me or harm me?”

Song Tan looks at him, “If I wanted to harm you, you would’ve been dead already. Your life is not worth much.”

Shen Yin on the side speaks up, “I want you to live.”

To live and feel pain, to feel the destruction of what he cares about.

Letting him feel that is better than killing him.

Old Master Huo : “…”

With words like these, does he have to thank these two little freaks?

Although Old Master hesitates, his desire to stay alive is stronger after all, so he lets Song Tan administer the needles.

But at this moment, Shen Yin stops Song Tan again.

“You don’t have a medical license. Will treating him lead to…”

Because when Huo Yanlin came to find Song Tan before, he mentioned this.

At that time, Song Tan refused on the grounds of not having a medical license.

“If you don’t report me, then it’s fine.”

Shen Yin : ?

“Report you?” Shen Yin laughs at this, “But your words do remind me.”

Today’s matter shouldn’t be known to a fifth person.

Old Master’s days are numbered, and the Huo family is facing many troubles, so they’re currently upset.

Shen Yin and Song Tan appearing in Old Master’s room for the past two days has made some people unable to sit still.

Several members of the Huo family have come to visit, but they have all been rejected by Shen Yin and Song Tan.

Now, the couple openly refuse to talk to anyone with the surname Huo.

Although it can’t be asked openly, privately, they have received many inquiries.

The prices offered are quite generous.

As for what Old Master promised them…

Let those who suspect something guess.

“The exam is coming up, you need to sleep early.”

Recently, Song Tan has been busy researching the old man’s illness and slept late. After being urged by Shen Yin several times, she finally agreed to go to bed.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the exam. Song Tan had prepared for this exam for so long, but there couldn’t be any mistakes.

“Alright.”

Song Tan put down her pen and stretched lazily.

At this moment, Shen Yin’s arm reached out and directly lifted her up.

Suddenly airborne, Song Tan let out a light breath and then hugged Shen Yin’s neck.

Her eyes met Shen Yin’s, and she said, “You haven’t been wearing glasses lately.”

Since Shen Yin revealed his true identity, he hasn’t been keen on wearing glasses.

Before, Song Tan thought that when he wore gold-rimmed glasses, he exuded a scholarly aura that matched his identity as Professor Shen. But now, she felt that when he wore glasses, he gave off a somewhat pretentious vibe.

Shen Yin glanced at her. “Are you up to something naughty?”

Several times, he caught Song Tan staring at him, but when he asked her, she wouldn’t say anything.

Song Tan smirked. “Doing good deeds.”

Shen Yin didn’t quite believe her.

But he didn’t bother her. After all, this little troublemaker in his family had plenty of tricks up her sleeve. It’s fine as long as she wasn’t getting into trouble.

After putting her on the bed, he instructed, “Sleep early. I’ll take you to the exam venue tomorrow morning.”

“Aren’t you going to accompany me?” Song Tan lay on the bed, blinking her eyes, asking sincerely.

“Are you sure you want me to accompany you?”

Now that they were lying together on the same bed, it wouldn’t be so simple to just lie there.

“Come on.” Song Tan was earnest.

Shen Yin stared into her eyes for a few seconds, sighed helplessly, and then lifted the quilt and lay down.

Song Tan glanced at him sideways, then rested her head on his arm.

“This is called ‘Exam God embracing Tan’.”

It took Shen Yin a moment to understand what she meant.

Song Tan was indeed…

Too cute.

Originally, he only intended to lie down with her for a while, but now he gathered his arms around her and held her tightly.

“Okay, let’s sleep like this today, no thinking about anything else.”

Song Tan chuckled softly.

But she nodded anyway. “Okay.”

After saying that, she really didn’t move, drifting into sleep.

But Shen Yin, lying beside her, didn’t find it so easy to fall asleep.

Before, when they haven’t done the deed, even when he was sleeping on the same bed as Song Tan, they could maintain a very pure husband-wife relationship.

But now it was different. With her warmth and fragility in his arms, if he had absolutely no thoughts, that wouldn’t be a gentleman; it would be impotence.

But he just thought about it.

Feeling Song Tan’s breathing gradually steady, he gently brushed his chin against her hair and held her even tighter.

Shen Yin personally accompanied Song Tan to the exam venue.

When they arrived at the entrance of the exam venue, Song Tan turned around and looked at Shen Yin. “Sure enough, with the Exam God’s blessing, everything can go so smoothly.”

Shen Yin smiled faintly, tucked the hair clip behind her ear, and said, “Don’t take it lightly, focus on your exam.”

“Okay.”

Song Tan entered the examination room while Shen Yin turned around and returned to the car.

As he sat in the driver’s seat, he glanced at something not far away.

Perfect.

The fish had arrived.

The difficulty of the exam was trivial for Song Tan.

She finished before time was up, then gazed out of the window.

It was now midsummer, with lush green trees casting shadows and sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating speckled patterns.

It was a beautiful day.

Unlike before, when it always seemed to rain during her exams, the gloomy and damp weather used to put her in a bad mood.

Since she met Shen Yin, even the weather had improved a lot.

[You’re just being a love-brain. The weather has nothing to do with your man.]

007 suddenly appeared, earning a roll of the eyes from Song Tan.

[Tsk tsk, you should learn some language arts. As a system, if you lack emotional intelligence, that’s just not acceptable.]

[Who said I lack emotional intelligence? I’ve reasoned with the main system and persuaded it, and it’s handling the matter you entrusted to me.]

Song Tan always felt there was a problem with the main leads in this world. After 007 reported this matter, the main system was considering how to fix this bug.

As for how to fix it, it would depend on the main system’s decision.

[You handled it well.]

Although Song Tan had some opinions about the main system, it was just a machine that followed rules.

Provide it with an idea, and it would check whether it was reasonable on its own.

If it was reasonable, it would execute it.

From certain perspectives, it was fair.

The fish had been following Shen Yin for a while now.

Today, when he accompanied Song Tan, it was the time when these fish were most restless.

So today was the best time to catch them.

Shen Yin drove around for a bit.

But the fish didn’t make a move.

He patiently waited in the car, taking the opportunity to read the  book Song Tan had given him this morning.

Flipping through the book, Shen Yin saw the note inside.

His expression suddenly changed.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.

The examinees gradually came out.

Shen Yin held his phone, calling Song Tan while scanning the area for her.

But she wasn’t there.

Shen Yin’s heart sank.

That little troublemaker, Song Tan, had started to deceive even him.

According to their plan, he was supposed to be the bait to lure out those lurking in the shadows.

But Song Tan clearly understood that they wanted her dead the most.

For them, as long as Song Tan was gone, the old man wouldn’t live much longer either. As for what the old man promised the couple… it didn’t matter anymore.

In any case, as long as the evidence isn’t handed over, even if Shen Yin knows about it, what can he do?

So, it’s Song Tan who is their target.

She wrote one word on the note she gave to Shen Yin : “bait.”

She’s going to be the bait herself now.

Shen Yin cursed himself silently for being so confused.

[Host, you’re getting crazier and crazier.]

Although Song Tan’s choice completely matches her abilities, the system still has to admit that its Host is indeed a bit crazy.

[If I’m not crazy, how else can I get what I want?]

“Shen Yin, I have something to tell you. Don’t get too excited when you hear it.”

Fu Ling knew that Shen Yin had gone crazy looking for Song Tan today, but Song Tan seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Now…

Fu Ling didn’t even know if he should tell Shen Yin this news or not.

“What news?” After only half a day, Shen Yin’s voice had gone hoarse, his eyes bloodshot, and even though he wore glasses, he couldn’t hide the madness in his eyes.

“There’s news about Song Tan.”

Shen Yin looked at him.

“But…” Fu Ling really didn’t know how to tell him.

“But what?”

“This is the message she sent to me, and this is the information I received.”

Song Tan sent Fu Ling a message that pointed to a criminal chain.

At the same time, he received information about a car accident in the outskirts of the city.

In the accident, a woman was injured and fell into a deep coma.

If his information is correct, that woman…

is Song Tan.
