"Where's that kid?"

Huang Yuan returned from going out and looked around, but couldn't see Li Mu Chuan.

"He's in his room playing games."

Water Monkey grunted, a little annoyed. "This guy you brought back is definitely a stowaway! Ever since he arrived, he's been lazy and gluttonous, just opens his mouth when he's hungry, and doesn't forget to chase girls. What kind of person is he!"

Water Monkey thought about Li Mu Chuan's series of actions over the past three days and immediately became quite angry.

They had clearly given the guy a capsule, and his life was already in their hands, so why was this guy still so happy?

Playing games, chasing girls, and food appearing whenever he opened his mouth – he was completely lost in pleasure!

Huang Yuan's face sank when he heard this, but then he immediately changed his expression, reached out and patted Water Monkey on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Then he strode into Li Mu Chuan's room.

Pushing open the door, Li Mu Chuan was playing the most exciting online game of the moment, "Interstellar Warfare."

He also played this game; the various warships and planets in the game were based on data from planets explored in reality.

This game was very addictive.

"It's time to go."

Huang Yuan glanced at the game and said in a deep voice.

"Wait, let me finish this round!"

Li Mu Chuan didn't even turn his head, his attention almost completely focused on the game.

Damn it!

Hearing this, Huang Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was telling him to get to work, and he was saying to wait until he finished this game?

What the hell did he think he was!

Providing him with food and drink here, and even entertainment! What kind of person was he!

Huang Yuan was a little frantic, but seeing how intensely Li Mu Chuan was playing and completely ignoring him, he could only take a deep breath and wait quietly by the door.

Half an hour later, the victory message finally popped up on Li Mu Chuan's computer.

"Sorry, kept you waiting."

Li Mu Chuan got up, his face full of the joy of winning the game.

As he spoke, he walked to the refrigerator nearby, took out a bottle of drink, and started drinking it on his own, acting as if this place was his home.

Huang Yuan felt the veins on his face throbbing. After taking a deep breath, he led the way out.

He no longer wanted to talk to Li Mu Chuan; he felt that if he did, he might not be able to resist laying a hand on him.

"This is the Light Energy Storage Device. You need to take this thing to America. Once you get there, we'll tell you where to make the transaction."

Water Monkey on the side was fiddling with a small object, about the size of a piece of glass.

On the computer next to him, some data files were being downloaded to a storage device.

After the download was complete, Water Monkey set a password on it.

Li Mu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this. This was the storage device used in this world.

Originally, Li Mu Chuan had thought about bringing back some technology to make money, but after seeing the Light Energy Storage Device, he dismissed the idea.

If he brought this thing back, there would be no way to analyze it!

It was equivalent to a technological barrier.

Just by looking at the technical means used when the other party downloaded the files, Li Mu Chuan knew that even if he brought this thing back, he wouldn't be able to analyze the content stored inside.

"Oh, right, shouldn't you provide me with a phone?"

Li Mu Chuan took the storage device with the downloaded files and then asked.

"What the hell!"

Huang Yuan felt like he was going crazy.

It was indeed better for them to provide the phone, because that way they could install some monitoring programs on the other party's phone.

But now that Li Mu Chuan was the one making this request, he felt that something was very wrong.

"Give it to him."

Huang Yuan shook his head, telling Water Monkey to give the phone to Li Mu Chuan.

Then, a phone that looked full of technological flair was handed to Li Mu Chuan.

Li Mu Chuan took the phone and then, led by Huang Yuan, left the place.

Li Mu Chuan still wanted to say goodbye to the only girl there, but unfortunately, he didn't see her in the end.

After Huang Yuan escorted Li Mu Chuan to the side of the main road, he left Li Mu Chuan there and drove away directly.

As he left, he dropped a sentence, "You have three days. You must reach America within three days, otherwise the toxins in your body will erupt."

Li Mu Chuan curled his lip upon hearing this. He hadn't even swallowed the capsule, so how could the other party threaten him?

It was just a shame about the place where he could eat and drink for free.

Looking at the storage device in his hand, Li Mu Chuan's mouth curled even more. Traitors, and they even dared to poison me! I must give you a taste of your own medicine!

Saying this, Li Mu Chuan strolled down the street, as if looking for something.

A moment later, Li Mu Chuan saw a truck.

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan quietly approached, and without anyone noticing, he directly threw the phone into a hidden corner, then turned and left.

After finishing this, Li Mu Chuan clapped his hands, humming a little tune as he turned and left.

A moment later, Li Mu Chuan arrived in front of the police station in this world.

"Hello, I'd like to report a case."

"Please speak."

The receiving police officer's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing this.

"I suspect someone is committing treason. This is what they gave me to take to America."

Li Mu Chuan took out the Light Energy Storage Device and handed it to the officer.

"Treason?"

The police officer was startled by these words. Committing such an act in this era was extremely serious.

"Also, they live in the High-Tech Villa District, Block A, Building 3, Unit 308. However, this is a rented house, and they should be leaving soon. You'd best act immediately to apprehend them."

This was the villa location Li Mu Chuan had learned when he was flirting with that girl earlier.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Hearing such significant news, the police officer's mind tensed. He quickly called others to attend to Li Mu Chuan while he immediately reported the information.

A moment later, a team was quickly dispatched.

Huang Yuan would never have imagined that there would be such an eccentric person as Li Mu Chuan.

He thought the matter was firmly under his control, but who would have thought that Li Mu Chuan would report him as soon as he left the house?

He had already prepared to change locations immediately.

People like him always moved after living in one place for a while.

Huang Yuan was meticulous, but when he encountered the arresting officers, he had no ability to resist and was easily captured.

At this moment, Huang Yuan was completely bewildered. He didn't understand where he had gone wrong and how he had fallen into this situation.

However, he quickly shifted his suspicion to Li Mu Chuan.

He gritted his teeth inwardly, but there was no arrangement for him to meet Li Mu Chuan.

The Light Energy Storage Device was quickly cracked by experts. The files inside contained information about some cutting-edge technology.

Upon discovering this issue, the relevant personnel immediately conducted a secret interrogation of Huang Yuan and others, determined to find out who was behind them.

Relatively speaking, Li Mu Chuan was much more relaxed. He had performed a meritorious service by reporting them.

While Li Mu Chuan was there, people would occasionally come and ask him kindly if he was thirsty or hungry.

With this major case concluded, all of them would receive a first-class merit.
