The Three Siblings Reunite

As a girl came in to clean, Wang Yide felt a surge of lust. The truth was, he had a lot pent up inside him and couldn't feel comfortable until he let it out.

He grabbed one of the girls and, disregarding the others, unleashed his primal instincts.

This could be considered a primitive yet sophisticated way of picking up girls.

At this point, Chen Nan cut off the surveillance feed. He felt that this kind of live broadcast lacked any artistic merit. Compared to what he had seen on Earth, it was truly vulgar, lowbrow, and tacky!

He also knew that tomorrow, his surveillance feed would likely provide him with a lot of useful information.

Therefore, Chen Nan was prepared to monitor the situation at Renxin Maternity Hospital for the entire day tomorrow.

After putting away his phone and charging it, Chen Nan knew that the time to cast his net was approaching.

Once he had some results tomorrow, he could move on to his second plan.

Who should be the target?

Originally, Chen Nan's target was only the Prefecture in Wu City, and he had already obtained enough bait from Secretary Huang to reel him in.

But upon closer consideration, this bait could actually be used to catch both the Prefecture and Secretary Huang.

So, who would be more effective to target?

Chen Nan still needed to think carefully about this. After all, if he obtained crucial evidence tomorrow, he would need to act immediately without any delay.

Therefore, the transition had to be handled very well.

After much thought, Chen Nan concluded that Secretary Huang, a man who appeared polished on the surface but was cunning underneath, wouldn't be of much practical use.

In any world, individuals like him relied on their ability to play both sides and to flatter others.

When it came to smooth-talking, he was unparalleled; but when it came to practical matters, he was useless.

Therefore, he ultimately decided to discard Secretary Huang.

In fact, when Chen Nan used the Prefecture and Secretary Huang, the stolen items in his possession were merely the first layer of bait.

He had another layer of bait that he would reveal later.

However, to ensure foolproof success and achieve a very good outcome, he still needed a computer.

So, Chen Nan planned to discuss this matter with his landlord tomorrow.

The next day arrived in a flash. Chen Nan first called his landlord. When he asked for a computer, the landlord initially refused and even seemed displeased.

But as soon as Chen Nan mentioned money, the landlord's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

The speed of this change almost made Chen Nan's back twinge, and it was clear that the landlord was quite the seasoned operator.

To rent a laptop, the landlord charged him five yuan per day.

Although he appeared very greedy, the price was actually quite reasonable.

Compared to internet cafe prices, it was certainly much more fair.

With the computer, Chen Nan transferred the surveillance software onto it, making operation and saving much more convenient.

Just as he finished this, around noon, the surveillance from Renxin Maternity Hospital finally yielded useful information.

Because Chen Nan always made judgments and absolutely did not monitor meaningless data, the surveillance equipment still had over forty percent battery life.

Chen Nan was certain that this battery power would be enough for him to collect all the evidence.

When the surveillance feeds opened, Chen Nan was pleasantly surprised to find that the people he had hoped to see were gathered in the director's office.

The three siblings were all in the office. Wang Yuane sat behind the desk without any pretense, with Wang Yifu and Wang Yide on either side.

When Chen Nan opened the surveillance, they had already begun their conversation.

"Second brother, how could your efficiency be so poor? Where did your ability to pass off my ideas as your own intelligence go?" Wang Yifu said, banging on the table.

Before Wang Yide could say anything, Wang Yuane spoke. She was a woman who sat like a small mountain.

We could vividly imagine her as a snowman with frog eyes.

She cackled a few times, causing Wang's brothers to break out in goosebumps. Even Chen Nan's internet connection was momentarily affected, almost disconnecting automatically.

Chen Nan patted his computer and said, as if comforting a puppy, "It's okay, it's okay. If we just treat her like a person, we won't be scared."

This seemed to work, as Wang Yuane's rough, androgynous voice came through steadily.

"Big brother, speak your mind, don't bang on the table. We're all getting on in years, so this kind of behavior is no longer appropriate," she said crookedly.

Wang Yide immediately chimed in, "That's right, big brother. We're siblings, let's just talk things through.

Besides, aren't you my big brother? If I use your money and borrow some of your wisdom, can you still be stingy with me?"

Wang Yifu pointed at them, looking like he couldn't be prouder of their lack of progress. "You're still fooling around here?

We are in danger!

If we don't find that child, it will all be too late.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in days. That Chen Nan is like a thorn in my back, a worm in my heart. I won't have a moment's peace until he's gone!"

Wang Yuane asked, "Is this child really that formidable?

However, I do have some impression of his mother. She was a top-tier beauty."

"It's just a shame that beautiful women are often ill-fated. Such a good girl, to just give birth to a child and abandon it here. Who knows, it might be someone's illegitimate child."

Wang Yide said, "Could it be from the Chen family? That's..."

Wang Yifu shouted, "Shut your crow's mouth! Do you think things aren't chaotic enough already? That's impossible. The Luojing Chen family are a prominent family among Transcendent beings, how could something like this happen?"

In reality, this was merely Wang Yifu comforting himself. From the casual remarks of Li Yu and Xun Xin, and Chen Nan's behavior, he already knew that Chen Nan possessed the potential of a Transcendent.

And such potential, or talent, wasn't something easily possessed.

Generally, it was the prominent Transcendent families, through continuous genetic optimization, that would have Transcendent beings generation after generation.

As for producing a Transcendent from ordinary commoners, the probability was incredibly small.

If one were to infer from this, it wasn't impossible that Chen Nan was an illegitimate child of the Luojing Chen family.

If that were the case, and the Chen family found out, Wang Yifu couldn't imagine what future his mortal family would have.

Even with many restrictions on Transcendent beings, they could always find legitimate methods to eliminate mortals if they wished.

He, being at the upper echelon of ordinary humans, understood this all too well.

Those rules were merely to maintain order. And the upper echelons were always above this ordinary order, which was why he could command influence.

Putting those thoughts aside, Wang Yifu picked up on his sister's thread, also to clarify their current situation, saying, "The child's capabilities are absolutely beyond your imagination. I think, by now, you might still be wondering why Chen Nan isn't reporting this to the authorities or the police and is keeping it hidden. What is he planning?"

Wang Yide took on the role of the straight man, saying, "That's right, what is he planning?"

Wang Yifu glared at him and continued, "Because Chen Nan has a very clear head. He knows that in his situation, reporting to the officials or the police would be meaningless. He deeply understands the fact that people without status, money, or reputation have no meaning in whatever they do. He knows that if he were to report us, it wouldn't be us who would be dealt with, but him instead. That would be equivalent to walking into a trap, which is why he wouldn't do it. Therefore, he will definitely use other methods to deal with us."

The second straight man, Wang Yuane, asked, "What methods will he use?"

Wang Yifu said with deep calculation, "I believe he will wait, until the Preparatory Academy begins its public admissions. That would be on October 1st. He will participate and become a student of the Preparatory Academy. Then, he will strive to become a Transcendent. If he proceeds step by step like this, we will have no chance."

Wang Yide exclaimed, "Oh," and said, "Isn't this called a delaying tactic?"

Wang Yifu stroked his chin and said, "You could say that."

Wang Yuane asked, "Then what should we do?"

Wang Yifu said coldly, "We need to proceed in two steps. First, we must find him and kill him. That is the best solution. Second, we need to bribe our way into the Preparatory Academy, so that even if Chen Nan can participate in the social assessment, he won't be able to pass. Then, he will be exposed and lose the protection of a Transcendent identity, and we can still act without worry. However, it's best to accomplish the first step. I've already spent a considerable amount of money to manage things from the top down these days. If we complete the first step, it will save us a huge expense. You know, when those Transcendent beings demand money, it's always a crippling blow!"

Wang Yide patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry. I've already done as you instructed. We've started inquiring about individual rentals throughout the city. I think we'll have news about that little brat soon."

Wang Yifu waved his hand, "That's not enough. You can also do this. Spend money to publish a missing person notice on TV, radio, and by posting flyers and advertisements in streets and alleys. Say that Chen Nan was tricked and taken away from the orphanage by human traffickers, and ask the general public to use their good character to help us find the child. This will be much easier than us sending people out to search for a needle in a haystack."

Wang Yide slapped the table and laughed, "I have to say, Brother, you're wicked—very clever, much better than us! How could I not have thought of this move?"

Wang Yuane said, "Don't slap the table in my presence! And don't include me when you talk about stupidity!"

Wang Yide laughed and said, "Third Sister, aren't we all born from the same mother? We have to have some similarities, right?"
