"I don't care... I just want Ye Shiyu dead."

Having received An Le's response, Sakuragi Hitomi looked towards Tong Yingying.

Tong Yingying, smoking, softly said,

"Even if there's another host, it would still be better than Ye Shiyu, right?"

"..."

Sakuragi Hitomi did not respond; emotionally, she also desperately wanted revenge on Ye Shiyu.

But rationally...

At the time of President Yan's car accident, there was something fishy. How could Ye Shiyu have hypnotized the driver to crash into the villa where Xiao Huan and her mother were?

And just last night, when something happened to Xiao Huan, Ye Shiyu didn't flee but suddenly headed to Ye International?

What was she doing there?

Ye Zi AI, imprisonment, hypnosis, car accident, the death of President Yan...

These keywords linked together, making Sakuragi Hitomi increasingly suspicious:

Would a different host really be better than Ye Shiyu?

But now, if she didn't give them an explanation, they might act tonight.

So, after careful consideration, Sakuragi Hitomi still nodded and said,

"I... will go with you, but the specifics of the action must be up to me."

Before An Le and Tong Yingying could speak, Sakuragi Hitomi immediately looked at them,

"I can't watch you, An Le, lose control of your emotions, causing the modifier to go out of control. That would make any revenge on Ye Shiyu meaningless!

"And you, Tong Yingying, you're not the host of the modifier; it's dangerous for you to face it..."

Hearing this, Tong Yingying sneered,

"So, the modifier host is superior?"

Sakuragi Hitomi shook her head, just lowered her head and softly said,

"No, I'm just worried about your safety...

"Because if the president were here, he would definitely choose the same."

Hearing this, An Le and Tong Yingying couldn't help but be taken aback.

It seemed as if some kind of aura was transmitted through the words.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, they almost simultaneously chose to "acquiesce."

That is, to heed Sakuragi Hitomi's advice.

The silence lasted for a long time, and An Le did not leave but stayed there instead.

Until a long while had passed, An Le suddenly spoke, breaking the silence,

"...Does anyone know how long cremation actually takes?"

"Hmm?"

"Didn't they say earlier that there was no queue ahead of us? It's been over twenty minutes, and there's no progress at all..."

Hearing An Le's reminder, Sakuragi Hitomi and Tong Yingying turned to look at the screen hanging next to the iron door.

On it...

It was completely empty.

Usually, once the process starts, the name of the deceased appears, and then the progress is updated.

But...

What's going on now?

Sakuragi Hitomi felt puzzled, furrowing her brow as she walked to the iron door and knocked on it,

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Hello, we are the family of Yan Huan. Has the process started? How long will it take?"

"..."

Inside, there was dead silence.

Sakuragi Hitomi blinked, feeling more and more that something was off.

"Move!"

As she was about to raise her hand to knock again, Tong Yingying shouted lowly from behind.

"Boom!"

Sakuragi Hitomi quickly dodged, and saw Tong Yingying kick out fiercely from behind.

The iron door in front of her instantly caved in, flying backward after being kicked, emitting an extremely harsh scraping sound.

"..."

Tong Yingying, full of killing intent, walked in and saw several staff members standing there in a daze, not moving a muscle.

Their eyes were all hollow, like puppets.

Seeing their reaction, the breaths of the three couldn't help but hitch.

Then, they hurriedly looked at the same place—the stretcher where Yan Huan's body had been placed.

But beside them, the stretcher was still there next to the staff members...

And on top, Yan Huan's body had disappeared.

"!!"

Seeing this, the eyes of all three instantly turned red.

"Ye! Shi! Yu!"

A tremendous sense of oppression suddenly erupted from deep within the funeral parlor, stunning the sky's rain curtain into a halt for a moment.

...

...

And at that moment, at the top floor of the Golden Lion Group Building.

Aria sat on the wardrobe, her eyes slightly red, looking at the messages Yan Huan had sent to her with a sense of grievance.

She didn't know what she had done wrong, suddenly being grounded, and then Yan Huan was very cold to her.

Of course, with Aria's small mind, she couldn't figure it out at all.

She was just looking at that message, originally wanting to type a response to ask why...

But at this moment, a wave of fear inexplicably rose in Aria's heart.

Fear that she couldn't accept the truth if she asked.

Clearly, she most despised lying.

But if...

The truth Yan Huan tells is "I don't like you anymore," what should she do then?

So, after hesitating for a long while, she could only write,

"Alright then... I'll go do my homework now...

"Afterward, you must contact me... I'll miss you..."

Holding her phone again, she waited for Yan Huan's reply.

However, there was still silence over there, with no response whatsoever.

"Uhh..."

Seeing this, Aria wiped her tears and slowly jumped down from the wardrobe, clutching her phone.

"Rustle... rustle..."

The rain outside the window grew even heavier at this moment, and not far away, an impure pink spread from the depths of the thick clouds.

But at this moment, in Aria's flat, the appliances equipped with the new generation of Ye Zi AI suddenly flashed even when in standby mode.

Suddenly, without any instructions from Heather, the TV in the living room suddenly lit up.

"Currently, it is 4:30 PM in Linmen time. Let's look at the weather changes for today, tomorrow, and the day after from tonight. The entire city of Linmen will face a new round of heavy rain... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Sorry, interrupting with breaking news.

"At 10:13 this morning, a serious vehicle accident occurred in the Beihai Villa District..."

Hmm?

Hearing the voice from the living room, Aria paused slightly.

Suddenly, she carefully pinched her phone and pushed open her bedroom door.

After looking around, outside was completely empty.

Strange...

Didn't Heather lock the TV for me?

Would she be so kind to turn it on?

Aria was still puzzled but honestly walked toward the living room anyway.

At the moment, the TV was broadcasting a piece of news.

But the strange thing was that the breaking news was clearly from yesterday...

"...

"Inside the villa room, one person is dead, one severely injured, and two are lightly injured.

"According to our station's reporter, the deceased's identity has been confirmed: Yan Huan, a first-year student at Yuanyue Academy, serving as the student council president of the class..."

Looking at the news on top, Aria's expression suddenly froze.

She instinctively glanced at the time beside her and, finding that it was yesterday, dazedly looked down at her phone again.

On her phone, the messages Yan Huan sent today were still vivid.

"Rustle... rustle..."

The next second, a message suddenly appeared in one of the groups on her phone's plane app, mentioning her.

"Is everyone attending President Yan's funeral here? I'll send the address again...

"The location is at the Linmen Jinghe District funeral home..."

Every word of the message reflected in Aria's eyes. Then she quickly reached out a finger to close the plane app, revealing the Ye Zi AI on the phone.

In an instant, she dazedly turned and raced towards the door.

"Click..."

"Miss, you cannot..."

"Boom!!"

Outside, thunder roared instantly.
