An Unexpected Visit

On the other side.

Ye Yun continued to swirl his glass of red wine, his gaze fixed on Ye Yun.

He beckoned to a waiter.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

The waiter approached with a tray, wearing a professional smile.

"When that young lady finishes playing the drums, please invite her over for me. Thank you."

Ye Yun looked at the waiter and pointed toward Ye Yun, who was playing the drums.

Following his gesture, the waiter frowned deeply, an apologetic look appearing on his face. "I'm sorry, sir. Miss Ye Yun already has plans. I'm afraid I can't."

"Never mind."

Hearing that Ye Yun already had plans, he drained the red wine in his glass, placed it on the waiter's tray, stood up, and headed out of the bar.

It was true that he came from the Super Seminary universe, but he wasn't from Earth.

Even if he had been from Earth, Earth Star hadn't entered the steam age yet, let alone the pre-nuclear civilization era.

"Uh..."

Watching the guest leave in a huff, the waiter was taken aback, his expression troubled.

It seemed the guest wasn't satisfied with his service.

But there was nothing he could do.

Miss Ye Yun really did have plans. It wasn't as if he could force her to go with him.

After walking out of the bar, Ye Yun tapped a few times on his Smart Watch, and a selection of vehicles appeared on the screen.

He chose a black supercar with a futuristic design and scissor doors.

"Take me to Professor Jianjie's house." Once he was seated, Ye Yun closed his eyes and spoke.

"Route to Professor Jianjie's house plotted. The fastest route will take fifteen minutes."

The car's intelligent system spoke mechanically. It had plotted the route to Professor Jianjie's house and calculated the quickest way to get there, along with the estimated travel time.

As soon as it finished speaking,

the car pushed him back into his seat, then gradually accelerated.

It shot down the dark highway like a streak of light.

"Track Qiya's whereabouts."

Suddenly,

he remembered Qiya, that second sister of hers, and spoke.

He hadn't been in touch with Qiya for three years. He wondered how she was doing.

"Unable to track Qiya's whereabouts. Information on Skin Painting detected: Skin Painting is the only AIP in the underground world capable of repairing Intelligent Beings. Its name is Qiya, and it lives in Eight-Nine Alley."

The car's AI was unrestricted. If it had been a limited AI, it wouldn't have been able to dig up this information.

"Skin Painting? Intelligent Being Qiya? Interesting."

Hearing the AI's words, Ye Yun opened his eyes. A faint smile curled his lips.

The AI meant that Qiya might have left Intelligent Island and gone somewhere else, perhaps the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent.

Under the AI's control, the car arrived outside Professor Jianjie's villa at the fifteen-minute mark.

The car door opened slowly, and Ye Yun stepped out. Seeing that the villa's lights were still on, he strode toward it.

"Ding-dong!"

He pressed the doorbell, and a Virtual Screen appeared in front of him. On it was an eight- or nine-year-old little girl, looking at him curiously.

"Hello. Who are you here to see?"

The little girl lay on the sofa, gazing at the screen and watching the footage transmitted by the 360-degree VR Camera at the door.

"I'm here to see Professor Jianjie."

Ye Yun looked up at the 360-degree VR Camera and answered when he heard the voice coming from it.

"Wait a moment. Hot mama, someone's here for you."

After telling Ye Yun to wait, Qiao Er's voice came from inside.

Professor Jianjie had been bent over writing program code. She set down her computer, looked up, took off her glasses, and rubbed her eyes. After putting them back on, she asked, "Who's looking for me?"

"I don't know. I can't find any information on him."

Qiao Er shook her head.

That was right.

She really couldn't find any information about Ye Yun.

"Can't find his information? Did you hack into the Security Committee's identity system again?"

Hearing her daughter, Professor Jianjie frowned deeply and asked bluntly.

Hacking into the Security Committee's identity system was a crime punishable by prison.

If anyone found out Qiao Er was an Intelligent Being, she'd be destroyed.

"No, I just couldn't find any information about him among the people you know."

Qiao Er's adorable face was full of innocence as she blinked.

The Security Committee's defense system was no joke.

She didn't have the ability to break into it yet. The last time, she'd only managed to sneak in because someone else had attacked it.

"Oh."

Hearing that Qiao Er hadn't hacked into the Security Committee's identity system, Professor Jianjie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Last time, she'd risked a lot to erase the traces of the little one's intrusion into the Security Committee's identity system. Otherwise, the Security Committee would have been at their door first thing in the morning.

"Ye Yun?"

Taking the transparent tablet from Qiao Er, Professor Jianjie saw the footage from the 360-degree VR Camera and frowned deeply. She recognized him, of course. Turning to Qiao Er, she said, "Go open the door. He's Professor Hu Ming's son."

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Qiao Er knew who "Professor" meant. It had to be Hot Mama's professor, Professor Hu Ming.

After the door opened, Qiao Er looked up at the handsome young man standing outside. With her hands behind her back, she looked like a little adult as she asked, "What do you want with Hot Mama?"

"Blue Lolita?"

Seeing an Intelligent Being who looked exactly like Ye Qiao Er, Ye Yun asked uncertainly.

According to the information Feiran had gathered, Professor Jianjie had only bought enough materials to make Ye Yun. There couldn't have been enough to make a second Intelligent Being.

And of the Intelligent Beings who had escaped, only Blue Lolita was still unaccounted for.

Now a second Intelligent Being had turned up in Professor Jianjie's house. What else could that mean?

"You..."

Hearing Ye Yun's words, Qiao Er immediately went on alert, but then lowered her guard.

He was Hot Mama's guest, Professor Hu Ming's son. Was it really so strange that he knew she was Blue Lolita?

"So you're Blue Lolita, the Intelligent Being who escaped from Green Valley Dock back then!"

Seeing Ye Qiao Er, Ye Yun said with certainty.

"Come in."

Ye Qiao Er didn't answer. She simply turned and walked ahead of him.

Did her identity matter?

She'd never harmed a human. That was enough.

"Professor Jian."

In the living room, Ye Yun nodded to Professor Jianjie, who had risen from the sofa.

"It's been a long time."

Professor Jianjie shook Ye Yun's hand and said warmly, "Please, sit."

"Thank you. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night!"

An awkward expression crossed his face, and he nodded apologetically to Professor Jianjie.

The whole household was women, and here he was, showing up in the middle of the night. If that wasn't an intrusion, what was?

And she was a young widow whose husband's fate was unknown.

"It's no trouble. May I ask what brings you here tonight, Ye Yun?"

After a small intelligent service robot poured a glass of water and set it on the coffee table in front of Ye Yun, Professor Jianjie pulled Ye Qiao Er close beside her and looked at him curiously.

She couldn't understand why Ye Yun had come to her house so late at night.

"Professor Jian, there's no need to worry. I ran into Miss Ye Yun at a bar and thought I'd stop by to visit you. Please forgive me if I've overstepped."

Ye Yun's face lit up with a warm, sunny smile that put people at ease.

"It's all right."

Professor Jianjie nodded in understanding. "The anniversary of our teacher's death is coming up soon. I thought you might not come this year."

"How could I not? Feiran and I come every year."

Ye Yun shook his head.

"So that's how it is!" Hearing his words, Professor Jianjie nodded.

There was no need to think about it.

They must have visited Professor Hu Ming's grave before Ye Yun and Feiran came.

Otherwise,

they would have run into each other.

Suddenly,

a tremor passed through Ye Yun. His ears twitched, and he rose from the sofa, slipping into a corner where no one could see him.

Seeing what Ye Yun did, Professor Jianjie and Ye Qiao Er couldn't help feeling puzzled.

What are you doing?

Just as Professor Jianjie was about to ask, he hurriedly pressed his index finger to his lips, signaling for them to be quiet.

At that,

Professor Jianjie and Qiao Er quickly understood.

An unwelcome visitor must have arrived.

"Hot Mama, take me to bed. I'm sleepy." Ye Qiao Er stretched and yawned.

"Come on, time for bed!"

Professor Jianjie smiled and nodded. She rubbed Qiao Er's hair, picked up her computer, took her cold little hand, and led her to the bedroom.

She didn't look at Ye Yun once. It was as if he were nothing but air.

How could someone as intelligent as her not realize that an enemy had arrived?

"The age of us Intelligent Beings is about to begin. Just you wait." Crazy Fist spoke excitedly, his voice brimming with enthusiasm.

"Let's wait for Han Feng's orders."

Sharp Eye held a sniper rifle and aimed at the villa a thousand meters away. "Whose supercar is that? It wasn't in the plan."

"Who cares whose it is? Our goal is the computer in Professor Jianjie's hands."

Crazy Fist didn't care at all that the supercar hadn't been part of their plan.

Their plan was simply to get Professor Jianjie's computer.

It contained the Intelligent Being Firewall Program.

If they got Professor Jianjie's computer, they could easily remove the logical restrictions on their Intelligent Being brothers and sisters.

Then more of them would be able to join Duyizhi and fight for the freedom of Intelligent Beings.

"I still think we should be careful. Haven't you heard of the butterfly effect? A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest in South America can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. So don't underestimate the consequences of a single car."
