Qin Yunhai was certainly not stupid.

If Wu Wei had hinted to this extent and Qin Yunhai still couldn't react, he might as well hang himself with a noodle.

He sent the video call directly to Wu Wei. Once Wu Wei connected, he saw Qin Yunhai's face flushed red, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"Weiwei, how did you know?"

"I was discussing business with Lan Meng at a cafe and ran into Chi Yu. So, I went and checked Chi Yu's chat logs. Oh, sorry, I violated the privacy rights between you and her."

Qin Yunhai: "..."

"Of course, I also violated the privacy rights of several other men. Yunhai, I regret to inform you that your brothers-in-arms already number more than five."

Qin Yunhai wanted to die.

"When she was with me, it was her first time."

He tried to prove something.

Wu Wei sighed faintly: "Technology is so advanced these days; going to a hospital to repair that membrane only costs a thousand Qin Coins. Young man, you think too highly of yourself. Before you, there were already fellow travelers on that path."

Lan Meng tugged at Wu Wei's clothes, signaling him not to be so blunt.

Qin Yunhai was indeed embarrassed, and he really wanted to kill someone.

"Brother, stay calm. When it comes down to it, you aren't even married to Chi Yu yet. Even if you were, her cheating is a moral stain, not a criminal offense. It's not worth throwing your life away over something like this."

Wu Wei knew his best friend's capabilities quite well.

He was a top-tier talent in the field of biology. If he wanted to single-handedly dismantle a few targets, average Awakened ones would never be able to outplay this academic genius, let alone a few ordinary people.

The other three guys in Wu Wei's dorm combined didn't possess half the lethality of Qin Yunhai in Wu Wei's eyes.

Therefore, he couldn't let him do anything stupid; Wu Wei didn't want to watch him singing songs of regret behind bars in the future.

"I understand. Send me the chat logs you found." Qin Yunhai remained silent for a long time before finally calming down.

Wu Wei sent the information he had uncovered to Qin Yunhai and then ended the call.

Lan Meng, standing to the side, looked worried.

"Will Qin Yunhai do anything stupid?"

Wu Wei glanced at Lan Meng strangely and asked, "You seem particularly nervous?"

"Do I?" Lan Meng smiled unnaturally.

Wu Wei's thoughts drifted, and he instantly considered a possibility: "Did something happen to Yunhai in the future? Something that left such a deep impression on you? Did he kill someone this time? Or is he just that impressive later on?"

Lan Meng: "..."

Trying to deceive this man was truly difficult.

Before coming here, Qin Yunhai had specifically warned her that she must not let Wu Wei know about this, otherwise, he would be able to mock him for a lifetime.

Lan Meng had agreed, intending to resolve this matter for him beforehand, but who would have thought that human plans are no match for the whims of fate, and they would run right into Wu Wei?

"Deputy Director, this can't be blamed on me." Lan Meng offered a half-hearted apology to Qin Yunhai in her heart, then told Wu Wei the truth.

"In the future, Qin Yunhai is the Deputy Director of the 404 Bureau, and he was the one who planned to send me back."

Wu Wei raised an eyebrow, though he wasn't entirely surprised.

Given his understanding of Qin Yunhai and the Night Emperor Academy, as long as no major accidents occurred, it was impossible for him to remain obscure.

Most cases of unrecognized talent are simply because the talent isn't great enough, even if many people don't see it that way.

"What is his awakened talent?" Wu Wei asked.

Lan Meng shook her head and said with admiration, "From beginning to end, he has always been an ordinary person. He followed the path of Aunt Lin, becoming the premier genetic biologist of the future. He helped countless Awakened ones improve their talents and was hailed as the 'Hand of God.' The reason you were able to become the strongest in the world in the future is largely thanks to Qin Yunhai. You two worked in perfect harmony, achieving greatness together."

Wu Wei didn't feel happy for himself or Qin Yunhai, because in his view, these things weren't particularly hard to accept.

He thought of another question.

"Lan Meng, the Heart Demons aren't stupid, are they?"

"Of course, the Heart Demons are most adept at manipulating human hearts. Unless one has an exceptionally firm will, it is difficult to resist the invasion of a Heart Demon."

"Is it possible that without Yunhai, I might not have been as powerful in the future?"

"That's not necessarily true, but what is certain is that Qin Yunhai definitely shortened the time it took for you to rise. His genetic modification technology, for us, is just as vital a weapon as your Light of 404."

"So, when the Heart Demons can't do anything to me, will they target Yunhai instead?"

Lan Meng's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, those men—could this be what Qin Yunhai was truly worried about?"

Wu Wei's strength was comprehensive; he didn't worry about himself, so naturally, he didn't need outsiders to worry for him.

But others were different.

Including Qin Yunhai, everyone feared being caught in the ripples of a timeline that had been reset, leading to eternal damnation.

Therefore, they bypassed Wu Wei and sent Lan Meng back instead.

This was their stance.

Wu Wei did not support it, but he did not oppose it either.

Everyone was struggling to cross the river, taking responsibility for their own lives; there was nothing wrong with that.

It seems the future me is somewhat heartless, Wu Wei concluded, as was only natural.

Lan Meng stole a glance at Wu Wei, then whispered, "Mercy does not command troops. A general may afford a woman's kindness, but a commander must learn to make sacrifices. We actually all understand you."

"Thank you for the comfort, though it wouldn't matter if you didn't understand," Wu Wei chuckled.

Wu Wei never refused to change, but his changes were to satisfy himself, not others.

He had never really cared much for what others thought.

It seemed the future remained the same.

That was good; it was his style.

Thinking this, Wu Wei then turned his attention to Chi Yu and her various "boyfriends" individually.

As for the others in his future camp, Wu Wei did not know them yet, nor could he possibly have any feelings for them.

But as for Qin Yunhai, Wu Wei would not allow anything to happen to him.

Finding a friend to grow alongside was no easy task.

He cherished it.

However, Wu Wei soon discovered that he might have been overthinking things.

Perhaps this really was just a story about being cuckolded.

From the conversation between Qin Yunhai and Chi Yu, Wu Wei did not detect any murderous intent, even if it was truly world-view shattering.

Qin Yunhai had laid his cards on the table with Chi Yu quite directly; he truly liked her, but that did not mean he would trample on his own dignity for the sake of that affection.

"Let's break up."

"Why?"

Qin Yunhai placed the evidence in front of Chi Yu without saying a word.

In Qin Yunhai's view, at this point, it was better for everyone to retain some shred of dignity.

He never expected, and neither did Wu Wei, that upon seeing the evidence, Chi Yu would fly into a rage.

"Qin Yunhai, what is the meaning of this?"

Qin Yunhai was completely bewildered.

"Are you even a man? None of my other boyfriends have ever suspected me of cheating, so why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

Qin Yunhai: "...???"
