Chapter 621 -623: The Programmer’s ‘Fiancée

Sun Zhen had just tossed the trash and returned upstairs, Qin Muye leisurely followed behind without the other person noticing her presence at all.

Once he arrived home, he immediately lay down on the couch; it seemed he just decided to slack off.

That made Qin Muye suspect that the guy simply didn’t want to go to work and was messing around online instead.

“I was too hasty, I misjudged again…” Qin Muye felt somewhat helpless. It wasn’t the first time she had seen something like this. Over the years, in her search for the Emperor’s Primordial Spirit, she had met many people, so it was normal to occasionally misjudge. After all, you can’t expect everyone to be entirely consistent; such people are very hard to come by.

Then, she prepared to leave. Since there was nothing to be gained, why stay?

But just as she turned around, she heard a series of knocks on the door.

Sun Zhen, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his expression filled with a trace of panic: “Who is it!”

“Me, Ling Wei, hurry up and open the door, or I’ll pick the lock,” a woman’s voice came from outside.

Qin Muye paused in her steps. Was this development a bit too dramatic?

“I don’t know you, get lost, or I’m calling the police,” Sun Zhen immediately said, as he didn’t recognize any Ling Wei.

“I am your fiancée; how can you not recognize me? If you don’t open up soon, I’ll have the landlord call someone to blast the door open,” the woman’s voice from outside said once again.

This time, Qin Muye was also interested.

According to the information she had collected on Sun Zhen, there wasn’t anyone named Ling Wei in his circle. Upon opening the intelligence file again, surprise crossed her face.

“What in the world is this thing?” Just a moment ago, the information she had gathered… changed.

There was indeed a brand-new relationship that had popped up in Sun Zhen’s file, a fiancée named Ling Wei, fresh as if it just came out of the oven.

As for Qin Muye having a memory lapse? Impossible. With her current strength, there was no way she could mistake such a thing.

“There are no signs of tampering with the phone; the changes were made from a higher plane,” Qin Muye immediately confirmed this fact.

She released her perception, scanning the ‘Ling Wei’ outside from top to bottom, ensuring she was indeed an ordinary person, without any issues.

Meanwhile, inside the rental, a chase for a husband scene unfolded, one trying to get in, the other not opening the door, a perfect image of a couple arguing.

The property management was even alerted, with staff outside trying to mediate.

But Sun Zhen felt a chill run down his spine, his expression looking awful.

He knew that the ‘Ling Wei’ outside was some kind of monster in disguise, having altered everyone’s perception to make her his fiancée.

As an ordinary person, he was very realistic. Let alone a fiancée; he didn’t even have a girlfriend.

“I’ve been targeted by them, they…”

“Who are ‘they’?” Qin Muye’s voice interrupted Sun Zhen’s murmur.

It was only at this moment that Sun Zhen realized there was someone else in his room, someone who had been sitting right next to him this whole time without him noticing. If she had not spoken up, he might have been killed without ever realizing it.

“You… you…”

“Let’s skip the ‘yous’ for now, your so-called fiancée who just popped up wants to come in,” Qin Muye kindly reminded him.

“You’re not with them?” Sun Zhen forced himself to calm down and asked.

“No, I came here following the IP from your post. Look,” Qin Muye showed him the post he had made and explained,

The other person’s expression stiffened, then, regaining composure, he hurriedly said, “Help me, and I’ll tell you what they are.”

“Deal. Go hide in the closet; I’ll handle this,” Qin Muye nodded. It was good that he was willing to cooperate. If he had not been, she would have had no choice but to make a move.

Helping was certainly no problem, just a minor issue.

Hearing that, Sun Zhen quickly got up and hid himself away.

Seeing this, Qin Muye stood up and opened the door to see a tall woman, accompanied by a few property management staff who were eagerly trying to help.

“Who are you looking for?” Qin Muye seized the initiative as soon as he arrived.

“Sun Zhen, you…”

“Who’s Sun Zhen? You’ve got the wrong person. I’ve already said I don’t know you. Why are you still pestering me like this?” Qin Muye said expressionlessly.

The one who had spoken was not ‘Ling Wei’, but a property staff member. Naturally, the property staff wouldn’t recognize Sun Zhen; they might not even recognize the owner, let alone a tenant.

“Where is Sun Zhen?” ‘Ling Wei’ asked, which essentially confirmed that Qin Muye wasn’t Sun Zhen.

“There’s no Sun Zhen here. If your fiancé has disappeared, you should call the police, not come to me. Also, if you don’t leave soon, I can call the police to escort you out,” Qin Muye said languidly.

“Just because you say he’s not here doesn’t mean he isn’t. Just now, Sun Zhen was inside talking to us, I…” One of the property staff members seemed determined to ingratiate himself with ‘Ling Wei’, so while he was talking, he tried to enter the room but was grabbed by Qin Muye.

“You can have a look if you want, standing outside is enough, no need to come in.” Qin Muye stepped aside to let them see the full view of the interior.

“Who knows if you’ve hidden someone? I…” That property staff member was quite indignant.

Qin Muye, exasperated: “Do you have a shrinking brain or is your brain undeveloped? It’s not like you’re trying to substitute for a missing brainstem, right? You’re already trying to cozy up to her with ulterior motives, yet you’re still thinking about helping her find her fiancé? Lucky for me, I don’t have a Sun Zhen here. If I did, would you still be offering to push his butt while they brush up on biology?”

This brown-nosing was professional-level, it’s just the brain wasn’t quite up to speed.

Anyone with a more functioning brain and ulterior motives towards ‘Ling Wei’ would have advised her to leave earlier, then picked a coffee shop or another quiet place to make a move, not stick around like an idiot.

This made the property staff member go from pale to flushed with anger, mainly because what Qin Muye said made sense. It was true Qin Muye had just insulted him, and then with some resentment, he glanced at Qin Muye and belatedly added, “Maybe you got the wrong building. Let me help you check again?”

Faced with the choice between confronting Qin Muye and fawning over ‘Ling Wei’, he promptly chose the latter.

“Tell Sun Zhen I’ll come looking for him again,” ‘Ling Wei’ said after inspecting the room’s interior and then she left.

The property staff member quickly followed, while softly speaking kind words, trying to console her.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this ‘Ling Wei’ indeed looked very beautiful, but to Qin Muye, she was just another life form.

Qin Muye closed the door and said, “She’s gone, you can come out now.”

Sun Zhen then came out, shaking with fear. Sun Zhen was very afraid of Qin Muye. Ling Wei might have been problematic, but didn’t it mean Qin Muye also had issues?

His sudden appearance, that ability, was simply terrifying.

Qin Muye also noticed that his presence seemed lower than usual, which was exceptional, but not without solution. It wasn’t as if his presence had disappeared.

Therefore, as long as one engages in some interaction with significant causality within sight or through communication, one wouldn’t be negligently ignored, just like with the earlier communication with ‘Ling Wei’ and Sun Zhen.

Significant causality referred to affairs involving abnormalities.

“Thank you,” Sun Zhen said, still scared but not forgetting his manners.

“Don’t be afraid, I don’t eat people. My presence is just a little lower, which is why you ignored me earlier,” Qin Muye said.

It was all just a bluff, what else could it be?

“…” Sun Zhen shuddered inside. Who uses not eating people as a description?

However, he gradually sat down. Since the other person had fended off ‘Ling Wei’ for him, it indicated that there was no substantial malice towards him.

“You want to know about them, but I don’t have much knowledge about them, most of what I know is from an ancient book passed down in my family.”

“I thought they were just some scare tactics until not long ago, a new supervisor suddenly appeared.”

“At first, I didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just a high-level appointment, but later I realized something was off. In the eyes of other colleagues, even the boss, this new supervisor wasn’t a recent drop-in.”

“Instead, he had been an old employee of the company since its establishment, but I’ve been here for five years and had never seen or heard of him before.”

“Of course, I didn’t point these things out, but instead, I quietly went to the personnel department to check the attendance records. Out of nowhere, there were attendance records for him, the finance department had his tax records and social insurances, and even the company’s clients recognized him,” Sun Zhen started from the beginning, explaining the situation, while Qin Muye listened quietly.
