Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Leaving school, Chen Yi took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, then put it back.

When similar things had happened before, he always went to his father's lifestyle secretary, who would naturally handle it properly according to his requirements.

Now the secretary was still there, but considering the complicated affairs and the current situation, Chen Yi was unwilling to trouble others again, decisively stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, and said to the driver: "Find a big supermarket that specializes in selling paper."

Still the airs of a young master.

That driver naturally wouldn't be polite to him, driving a full 20 kilometers before finding a paper supermarket in the suburbs, which was indeed large, with over a thousand square meters of space filled with various kinds of paper.

According to Chen Yi's thinking, since even that day's exam papers could satisfy mages, basically all paper should be able to meet the demand.

However, this professional paper store made him feel at a loss as soon as he walked in.

There were many classifications of paper; judging by raw materials, there were two major categories: plant fiber and non-plant fiber. The plant fiber paper commonly used by people could be further divided into broadleaf trees, coniferous trees, grasses, and so on, truly complicated.

Chen Yi got a handcart, picked out some pleasing-looking samples and loaded half a cart, then wandered aimlessly.

The paper supermarket did big business, with few customers, and the boss came out shortly after, calling out: "Little brother, what do you want?"

The boss was middle-aged and portly, laughing heartily like a Chinese Rural Dog, running along in a way that made people want to laugh.

Chen Yi smiled slightly and said: "Trouble you to add some of each kind of paper for me, and if you could give me a catalog, that would be even better."

He thought it through clearly: for himself, paper differing by a few yuan might, in the hands of Holy Qiao People, differ in price by several times or even dozens of times; thus, what kind of paper was more valuable needed testing.

The boss answered "oh oh" twice, personally took action, helped him push the cart to select paper, and asked: "Little brother, what are you preparing to use it for?"

"Preparing to make some things, buy some back to test them out, trouble you." Chen Yi naturally couldn't tell the truth.

The boss was just asking casually, had nothing to do anyway, and eagerly helped him pack more than ten kinds of differently named paper, even giving him a business card as a bonus when seeing him out.

Carrying nearly a hundred jin of paper left him reeking of sweat; Chen Yi returned home planning to bathe before taking the subway, only to see the house unexpectedly lit up with lights.

He hadn't seen such a scene for over half a month; he hurried two steps and walked in, seeing Wang Weigang guarding the door.

The latter was Chen Father's driver, in his twenties, but steady in his work; he stopped Chen Yi and said in a low voice: "Young Master, people from the Tax Bureau have come to the house; why don't you wait a bit?"

"Come to do what?"

"Valuation, probably." Wang Weigang didn't dare say more.

The house at home not only had to be mortgaged to the bank; did they still have to pay taxes?

Chen Yi instantly broke out in a sweat on his forehead. The Chen Group was in difficult straits, but difficult to this extent was truly unexpected.

He was already an adult-to-be and deeply knew the hardship of starting a business; once the company went bankrupt and closed, rising again in the east would almost be impossible.

If there were more time, perhaps he could use scrolls to help the family.

"I'll go in and take a look." Chen Yi said without hesitation: "Help me unload that cart of paper into the garage."

Wang Weigang agreed, then thought again and said in a low voice: "Young Master, that National Tax Bureau Investigator is a great beauty, and also a ruthless character; when she was at the company, she already gave us a hard time, so you must be careful."

With his steady nature, being able to say the words "great beauty" meant her beauty must be extraordinary.

Of course, he was also afraid Chen Yi might make some young master moves because of the beauty, and helping would become a hindrance instead.

Chen Yi suppressed the irritation in his heart and nodded, thinking: There are so many things at home; why would I care whether she's beautiful or not.

He deliberately pushed the door open heavily and looked toward the living room direction.

That National Tax Bureau Investigator was sitting on the sofa writing something, and naturally turned around.

***!

This was absolutely Chen Yi's first reaction.

The light in the room wasn't strong, but shining on the lustrous skin of her chest, it seemed to reflect ten thousand zhang of radiance.

She actually hadn't exposed much; it was just that the largeness of her chest had forced open the clothing at her neck. Chen Yi could be certain that the topmost button definitely couldn't be fastened.

He didn't even have the leisure to notice others.

"Chen Yi." Chen Congyu's complexion was still good; seeing his son, he waved and said: "Was school smooth today?"

"Normal." Chen Yi's classmate's eyes stared fixedly at the deep cleavage exposed outside; it proved that beauties most of the time possess the power to make vigorous youth boys forget everything.

Curved eyebrows, tender white skin, looking like they always carried a hint of coquettishness; it was the black-rimmed glasses that made her somewhat restrained, looking more or less like a state public official.

A pair of perfectly straight, smooth beautiful legs, crossed while sitting on the chair, swaying enough to make people dizzy.

Of course, what attracted the eye most was still that pair of nearly perfect ***, those crime-tempting charms.

The *** civil servant scrutinized by suspicious gazes had a slender waist held straight, and smiled faintly: "I am Liu Xinyu, hello."

Judging by appearance, Wang Weigang's so-called "ruthless character" completely lacked any fierce air.

"Hello." Chen Yi had not yet forgotten the anger and unease from before.

"We need to audit some cash issues; have you usually seen how your parents take and use money?" Liu Xinyu asked as if unintentionally.

Chen Yi's forehead tightened, and he didn't answer immediately. At such a time, any word could be used against him; he turned and asked instead: "Did you come to my house alone?"

"There are colleagues outside." Liu Xinyu smiled slightly, her chest trembling faintly.

Chen Yi pretended to be a child and continued: "Is your position high?"

"Investigators are different from ordinary civil servants." Liu Xinyu discovered she couldn't get the information she wanted from him, decisively ended it, and said to Chen Father: "Mr. Chen Congyu, let's continue the topic from just now."

Chen Father smiled broadly and nodded at Chen Yi; his son being able to dodge a sudden attack greatly comforted him.

Chen Yi took the opportunity to leave; just as he walked up the stairs, he heard a "hissing" sound.

"Second Brother, here." Hiding in the stairwell was precisely his little sister, little sister Chen Rongxi!

The little sister who called herself a vibrant, youthful, beautiful girl had a cute round face. But in the Chen Family, no one dared describe her as "round-faced," as that would instantly turn vitality into violence.

Now, Chen Rongxi was in the posture of a special forces soldier, crouching at the corner, hands reaching out empty, aiming at Chen Yi's neck.

If Chen Yi were to open his mouth and shout right now, she could turn a grab into a pinch within two seconds.

"How come you're hiding here? Not going to school anymore?" Chen Yi crouched down helplessly, just right to see the living room downstairs.

Little sister studies at a boarding school, the legendary prestigious academy for young ladies.

Of course, being specially sent to a ladies' school was mainly because she lacked ladylike temperament too much; her agile, monkey-like living habits truly gave the family a headache.

The little girl narrowed her round eyes, smiling sweetly: "I came out of school because I wanted to relieve the family's worries."

Chen Yi felt a warmth in his heart listening to this; little sister had just graduated middle school, yet understood thinking for the family, so her mischievousness couldn't be that bad.

However, the act of skipping school wasn't worth praising; he glared his eyes and said: "You snuck out, right."

"You listen to my plan first." Chen Rongxi grabbed his arm and shook it hard.

"You speak."

"Through my understanding, the problems the family faces now have two aspects." Little sister held up two fingers and said: "First, two loans are due, totaling several hundred million; Father can't repay them. The other is being sued for tax evasion, amounting to several million." Chen Rongxi spoke, smiling proudly: "Because we owe money, not being able to pay the tax is trouble; as long as we get several million to help Father pay the tax, at least one major problem is solved."

Chen Yi nodded on the surface, but actually disagreed.

He knew very clearly that the family's ultimate problem was that Grandfather had stepped down, and in a disgraceful way at that. Father's company expanded too aggressively, its foundation unstable; being implicated naturally left it teetering in the wind and rain.

As for the tax payment, it was merely a move the other side played.

Chen Rongxi thought she had gained agreement, and said proudly: "Want to know what method I have to get several million?"

"You speak."

Chen Rongxi put on a mysterious air, lowering her voice again: "We discovered a vulnerability in the Floating Mountain Game Platform."

From a very young age, Chen Rongxi received a good education, and had the opportunity to come into contact with real hackers and computer security personnel; her technical growth was exceptionally rapid.

To a certain extent, little sister could be called talented; at least Chen Yi received similar education, yet didn't reach the same level.

So he hesitated and asked: "What kind of vulnerability?"

"Remote control, allowing us to infiltrate their host." Chen Rongxi spoke to here, paused, and said: "Second Brother, that's the Floating Mountain Game Platform; once successful, maybe even the first problem could be solved."

Chen Yi had experienced little sister's clever mischief no few times; he hesitated and asked: "What do you want?"

"As expected, Second Brother is the best." Chen Rongxi pounced over, whispering in his ear: "I want your New Year's money to buy a computer."

The voice wasn't loud, but Chen Yi shuddered; his New Year's money was a full 100,000 yuan.
