Chapter 61: Information Inquiry
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Xiyuan didn’t go over to say hello, so Ye Lengan naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for herself. But…
“What’s wrong?
Huangfu Ruiling was a little puzzled as he noticed that Ye Lengan kept glancing in Ye Xiyuan’s direction intentionally or unintentionally. “I thought you didn’t want to greet them?”
“That’s true.” Ye Lengan took her eyes off them and said in a confused tone, “I just feel that the man beside Ye Xiyuan… Oh, she is the woman who has a deep hatred for me. I feel that I have seen that man before. He looks quite familiar, but I just can’t remember.”
“Since you can’t remember, then stop thinking about it.” Huangfu Ruiling picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Ye Leng’an’s bowl. “It’s fine if you don’t remember someone who’s not important.”
Ye Lengan nodded her head and stopped struggling with it.
Only those unimportant people would not leave a deep impression on you. However, since that man became close to Ye Xiyuan, she really had to be careful. In her first life, Ye Xiyuan’s admirers had harmed her quite a bit.
Although she had never seen this person before, she still had to be careful. On the other side, Ye Xiyuan was chatting and laughing with Nangong Xuyao, but she also diverted some of her attention to the man opposite Ye Lengan.
She never knew that Ye Lengan had such a man by her side. That man had a
domineering presence just by sitting there. She couldn’t describe what she felt, but when she saw that man, an unknown fear rose from the bottom of her heart. The only thing that reassured her was that the man was disabled.
However, for safety’s sake, Ye Xiyuan still called out to the System in her mind,
“System, help me find all the information about the man beside Ye Lengan.”
She would never allow Ye Lengan to be outside of her control. No matter whether that man was an unstable factor or not, she had to be careful.
“500 points will be deducted for the relevant information. Are you sure you want it?” A mechanical voice came up.
“500 points?” Ye Xiyuan couldn’t help but frown. “Didn’t you say that you didn’t need any points for inquiries previously?”
She inquired into many people i s backgrounds before. After knowing their preferences, she could cater to their taste and gain their favor. She was able to woo Yuan Silei, who was Ye Leng’an’s best friend, to her side after knowing all the information.
In the past, the System would give her detailed information every time. But now, she was suddenly informed of the point deduction. Moreover, 500 points was really a lot and she had to complete several missions to get it.
“What’s wrong?” Nangong Xuyao noticed the change in her countenance and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
“Yes!” Ye Xiyuan quickly smiled. “I was just thinking about something else. I’m fine.”
“That’s good.” Nangong Xuyao smiled. “Then let’s eat! After dinner, I’ll take you to a very special place.”
“Really?” Ye Xiyuan was pleasantly surprised, looking expectant.
“Yes, of course.” Seeing the smile on her face, Nangong Xuyao continued with a contented smile, “I think you’ll definitely like that place.”
“Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Ye Xiyuan let out a sigh of relief and continued to chat with Nangong Xuyao while calling out to the System in her mind, “System, why did the rules change?
“The rules didn’t change. It doesn’t need any points to check up on ordinary people. However, when the System detects your inquiry as an advanced one, your points will be deducted.”
After hearing the System’s reply, Ye Xiyuan made a decision without any hesitation. “Inquiry confirmed.”
If she was still a little hesitant at the beginning, she was resolved now. She grasped the main point in what the System had said. The man beside Ye Lengan was not an ordinary person.
Since that was the case, she was more eager to find out who that man was. Otherwise, she was afraid that something would happen when she needed to deal with Ye Lengan.
“Inquiring.
At this moment, Huangfu Ruilings eyebrows twitched and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Lengan immediately noticed the change in Huangfu Ruiling. “Did something happen?
“No, everything is fine.” Huangfu Ruiling suddenly became calm again and said in a cool voice, “There’s just a small grasshopper jumping around.”
On the other side, Ye Xiyuan suddenly felt a stinging pain in her head. A sharp mechanical sound rang out in her mind.
“System malfunction. System malfunction. Emergency shutdown. Emergency shutdown.”
Then, she heard the sizzling sound of electricity in her ears.
“System, System, are you still there? System, answer me!”
No matter how Ye Xiyuan called out in her mind, she couldn’t hear the mechanical voice’s reply..
