Good Grief, Even Assassins Have Shown Up!

These dishes were all made by Ling Yi.

Although Ling Yi had never tried it, he could roughly guess what it would taste like.

[The target character is emotionally stirred – anger +5, speechlessness +3, for a total of 8 Emotion Points!]

Ling Yi was secretly overjoyed, but put on an apologetic expression.

" President Liu, this is my first time cooking. It seems I've disappointed President Liu."

Liu Manyun took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

She picked up the glass of freshly squeezed juice again, thinking that at least the drink shouldn't be a problem.

Without much hesitation, I took a big gulp.

Seeing this bite made Ling Yi feel inexplicably guilty.

He thought to himself: What a sin! Amitabha! I'll make it up to Liu Manyun in other ways later!

The bitterness of bitter melon, the raw taste of celery, and the spiciness of ginger explode in your mouth with a triple Critical Hit.

Liu Manyun's hands were trembling slightly when she put down the cup.

[The target character is emotionally stirred – Collapse +8, Anger +4, for a total of 12 Emotion Points!]

She looked at the breakfast spread across the table, which looked exquisite but tasted utterly unappetizing.

His gaze was fixed intently on Ling Yi.

Was this guy doing it on purpose?

But there's no reason for it!

But Liu Manyun did not dwell on this matter.

She is a person who is very good at controlling her emotions.

He quickly regained his icy expression.

I got up and went to the restroom.

When I came out again, everything had returned to normal.

It's as if she wasn't the one who ate the terrible food before.

"From now on, you are not allowed to go near the kitchen."

Liu Manyun stood up, walked straight into the kitchen, and closed the door.

Ling Yi sat at the dining table, looking at the numbers flashing on the system panel, and nodded in satisfaction.

This group may have lacked martial ethics, but for the sake of Emotion Points, it's not shameful.

Ling Yi might not have done this with someone else, but Liu Manyun had left a very deep impression on him with Ling Yi cold and stereotypical image.

I always felt that if there wasn't a strong spark, it wouldn't be effective.

And that is indeed the case.

This whole process did manage to stir up Liu Manyun's emotions, but it was far too inefficient.

There are only a dozen or so Emotion Points in total.

He then tried several other methods!

He deliberately played loud music in the living room, but Liu Manyun just frowned and gave him 2 Emotion Points.

Pretending to accidentally break a cup, Liu Manyun didn't even lift her eyelids; it was midnight.

He performed an exaggerated set of exercises in front of her. Liu Manyun glanced at him and said indifferently, "There's a gym upstairs." (3 Emotion Points )

He even secretly stuck a note that said "I am a pig" on her back while she was sitting on the sofa reading documents.

When Liu Manyun discovered it, she simply tore the note off with a blank expression and threw it into the trash can, showing no emotion whatsoever.

0:00.

Liu Manyun's composure is truly remarkable!

After a whole morning of trying, I only managed to accumulate less than 50 Emotion Points.

At this rate, it would take two months to accumulate 10,000 Emotion Points, far exceeding the one-month deadline stipulated in the task.

"This won't work; we need to change our approach." Ling Yi sat on the sofa, stroking his chin in deep thought.

He recalled his morning's events and noticed a pattern.

Those things that seem normal but are actually outrageous are what most easily stir Liu Manyun's emotions.

In other words, the greater the contrast, the more Emotion Points there are.

"It seems we need to do something bigger."

A glint of light flashed in Ling Yi's eyes.

However, he also knew he couldn't go too far.

Liu Manyun is no ordinary person; she has exceptional observation and judgment skills. If you try too hard, it will backfire and alert her.

We must strike a good balance and do things subtly and quietly.

This morning's breakfast was a bit overdone.

It's not that Ling Yi went too far, cough cough, did he go too far? Well, he did go a little bit.

Ling Yi already said that he was being too deliberate in his actions.

Or rather, his acting skills aren't very good.

" Fanbao, help me improve my acting skills."

[Command confirmed. This will consume 1 Fanbao Points, instantly granting the host master-level acting skills.]

" Bao'er, are you trying to scam me out of my Fanbao Points?"

"I don't believe you fucking don't understand what I mean."

[Understood. The performance memory will be slowly transmitted to the host over the next hour.]

In the following days, Liu Manyun's activities at Heavenly Fortune Media became increasingly significant.

She not only publicly investigated Liu Yunfeng, but also launched audits of several other problematic senior executives in the company.

Suddenly, a tense atmosphere filled the Heavenly Fortune Building, with everyone feeling insecure.

Liu Manyun sat in the chairman's office on the top floor of Heavenly Fortune Building, with a thick stack of documents spread out in front of her.

Her expression was stern and focused, and she occasionally circled key points on the document with her pen.

Several company executives stood across from the desk, not daring to utter a sound.

" Vice President Wang, the advertising department you're in charge of had a 30 million yuan promotional expense last year that has gone missing."

Liu Manyun didn't even look up, her tone as flat as if she were reading a menu.

"Give me an explanation."

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Vice President Wang's forehead.

" President Liu. Liu, that expense was for promotional collaborations with several media outlets..."

Which media outlets? What about the contracts? What about the payment records?

Liu Manyun finally raised her head, her gaze sharp as a knife.

Vice President Wang's legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.

The office was deathly silent.

But only Ling Yi knew that all of this was a carefully orchestrated play by Liu Manyun.

She never really intended to delve into these people's problems.

What she needed to do was make a gesture, a gesture that would make Liu Yunfeng think she was about to be exposed.

"To force him into a corner and make a desperate move."

Ling Yi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the eighth floor of the Jin Yun Building, looking in the direction of the Heavenly Fortune Building across the street, and muttered to himself.

Liu Manyun's true purpose was never to settle scores with her own people.

She wants to sell all her shares as soon as possible and cash out.

The ship that is Heavenly Fortune Media is already riddled with holes inside.

Once the news of Doushou's financing is officially released, the traditional media industry will inevitably suffer a fatal blow.

At that time, Heavenly Fortune Media's stock price will only plummet.

Rather than waiting for the ship to sink, it's better to disembark safely while it still has value.

As Ling Yi was pondering this, Fanbao suddenly issued an urgent reminder.

[WARNING! New bounty missions detected on Assassin Network!]

"What bounty? What does it have to do with us?"

[ Liu Yunfeng a 100 million yuan bounty on Liu Manyun through a Dark Web assassin platform.]

Fanbao's voice was as flat as if he were announcing the weather forecast.

[You are also on the bounty list, with a reward of 100,000.]

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

"Damn it, 100 million and 100,000? That's a huge difference! Who is Liu Yunfeng looking down on?"

He was, after all, a "favorite" of Liu Manyun.

In Liu Yunfeng's eyes, it's only worth 100,000? That's too pathetic.

[Should we remove the bounty on the Assassin Network?]

"No rush." Ling Yi waved his hand. "Tell me first, how skilled are the assassins in this world?"

[According to Fanbao's database analysis, the assassins on Assassin Network are generally of average strength. As long as you activate the Paid Version Combat Mode, these assassins will pose no threat to you.]

[However, please note that Transcendent powers exist in this world.]

" Transcendent power?" Ling Yi's eyes narrowed.
