After Genesis released a white paper revealing technology similar to Lin Chen’s company’s core secrets, the system gave Lin Chen 72 hours to investigate the leak and salvage the crisis. Yan Qingyue ordered an internal review while Lin Chen acquired a clue-investigation item, but his inappropriate thoughts about her earned him an even harsher punishment to come.
