He’s still tangled up in the cohabitation scenario when, out of nowhere, they’ve been burglarized? Which bastard did this? Absolutely... well done! The fire alarm continued to blare its piercing sound as there was a frantic knocking on the bedroom door. "Bro! Xiao Jun! Are you in there?" Yu Shujun stood at the window, glancing towards Wen Nan’s house, where a small explosion had just occurred, and thick black smoke was continuously billowing out of the shattered window. "You and Qiqi leave first. I’ll go to the scene to see if I can catch the culprit," Yu Shujun said, then added to soften his tone, "Master." Wen Nan shook his head helplessly, "Be careful." Opening the bedroom door, Qiqi hurriedly grabbed Wen Nan’s hand, "Bro, are you okay?" He then looked over Wen Nan’s shoulder at Yu Shujun’s figure disappearing into the night, "Where did Xiao Jun go?" Wen Nan vaguely replied, "Something came up unexpectedly. Let’s get out of here first." The hallway was filled with smoke, and two property management NPCs were standing by the entrance, anxiously knocking on Yu Shujun’s apartment door. As Wen Nan led Qiqi out, the two NPCs immediately waved at them, "Hurry downstairs, the elevators are shut down, use the fire escape." When Wen Nan and Qiqi hurried downstairs to the courtyard, a large group of residents who had been evacuated late at night had already gathered there. Some were in pajamas, others in disheveled clothing, all yawning, looking up, pointing and whispering at the room on the top floor with billowing smoke. Some were even recording videos with their phones. Wen Nan also looked up, trying to spot that familiar figure among the thick smoke. At this moment, a notification sounded in the system. Opening it, he found a message from an instance character. It was from a group chat named [Three Women Take Turns Supervising One Man] that Wen Nan and three other women had temporarily set up—— [Xiao Fei: Brother Ye, how’s the progress on the updated project report, has it been submitted yet?] [Wenwen: [Sherlock wakes up shocked face].jpg] [Wenwen: No, sis, are you crazy? It’s freaking half-past midnight, and you’re supervising?] [Xiao Fei: I was just asking, what’s the big deal? I’m not forcing him to give results now. If Brother Ye is sleeping, he can reply when he sees the message tomorrow.] [Wenwen: Your message woke me up! Even if Ye Jiu were a perpetual motion machine, we still need sleep!] [Huan: Ye Jiu sent it to me after work, I’ll polish it and send it to President Mi] [Wenwen: His report, why send it to you alone after work? What shady deal are you two up to after hours?] [Huan: This is a work group chat, Wenwen little sister, I’d advise you to watch your mouth] [Wenwen: Hmph, Sister Ru Huan, you’re joking. My words, at most just spat blood, so much cleaner than yours. Unlike you, at the end of the day, who knows what’s coming out of your mouth.] [Huan: If you continue being disrespectful to senior employees, I’ll screenshot this chat along with the report and send it to President Mi] [Wenwen: Oh, scared of you much] [Xiao Fei: Brother Ye, did you receive our message? If there’s anything work-related that needs help, feel free to let us know @Ye Jiu] Reading through message after message popping up in the chat group, Wen Nan couldn’t help but reflect on the saying about three women making a scene, which truly seemed spot on. However, aside from Wenwen and Ru Huan’s bickering, Wen Nan focused intently on the first and last messages sent by Xiao Fei, lost in thought. He suddenly had a hypothesis. If his hypothesis was correct... Thinking of this, Wen Nan raised his head again, looking towards the top floor at his smoke-billowing house. A figure flashed from the smoke, and the next moment, Yu Shujun returned by Wen Nan’s side, smelling of smoke, with a slightly cold expression. "Didn’t find the person?" Wen Nan asked in a low voice. Yu Shujun shook his head, glanced at the surrounding crowd, and lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear, saying, "It was a pre-set timed explosive device, the person must have left long ago, but..." "I found fragments of the explosive device and scanned it with the system. This isn’t something a player can buy from the system store. The materials must’ve been acquired from a physical store in this instance map and modified by themselves." Buying raw materials from a physical store in the map doesn’t sound like player behavior. Just thinking about it, he heard Yu Shujun continue, "The explosion’s location was very sly, in a locked storage room. The device was deliberately placed by the window, seemingly to attract others’ attention while minimizing risk of injury, chosen at such an angle." In other words, the act of blowing up the house seemed more like a prank or warning rather than an attempt to harm or even kill Wen Nan. Wen Nan felt a sense of validation, nodding as he checked the system again. In the short time he hadn’t looked, the chat group had blown up with more messages—— [Wenwen: Xiao Fei, look at the time, stop tagging him. He’s probably asleep, or even if not, might be busy with other things and can’t respond.] [Huan: It is quite late, let’s talk about work tomorrow.] [Xiao Fei: I just worry about Brother Ye facing difficulties and want him to know we’re always here to help him.]
