• Lin Yue suspected a mole among the Special Ability Bureau’s higher-ups or a third party manipulating the Bureau and the Three Gods Hall, then sent a message using another phone.
• Ling Yi’s attempt to restore Jiang Qing'er's memory failed because the system reported insufficient funds, and he discovered that his bank balance was under six billion yuan.

Ling Yi discovered that Money Power had been automatically deducting renewal fees and that he could spend it to restore Jiang Qing’er's memories for five minutes.
