Chapter 1044: What Absurd Thing Did I Actually Do? I'll Be Right Back!

…

Boom!

Sss—

We're here!

Su Yang stepped out of the car, gazing at the magnificent office building before him, his eyes flickering.

The building is 52 stories tall, its edges wrapped in neon light pillars, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors.

It's two o'clock in the morning, yet every floor remains brightly lit.

In contrast, the surrounding buildings appear especially dim.

For example, the upscale residential complex nearby is now ablaze, with flames shooting skyward and black mist swirling.

"Interesting, it's only a street away, yet the scene is completely different," Lu Junsheng said.

"Imperial Company naturally won't allow its assets to be harmed, and the players are also very discerning, daring not to tempt fate," Yue Lan said.

Speaking of that, she gave Lu Junsheng a strange look and asked, "Did the side effect disappear?"

Uh…

When Lu Junsheng recalled his own embarrassment, his old face flushed red.

"Cough~ The situation is unusual; I hope everyone won't mind."

Yue Lan chuckled inwardly, but wore a considerate expression, "It's human nature; I completely understand."

Hearing her "comfort," Lu Junsheng became even more embarrassed.

His toes were curled tightly, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

The earlier fart sounded like thunder, booming loudly.

He was also helpless; before the sensation arrived, he had already used every ounce of effort to hold it in.

But could the mysterious power of Royal Jelly possibly be resisted by his mere mortal flesh?

The successive releases made him feel an indescribable sharp pleasure.

It was as if he had undergone a thorough muscle and marrow cleanse, and his body felt considerably lighter.

He couldn't help but marvel at the marvel of Royal Jelly.

Enhancing physical quality in this regard is truly no joke.

"It hurts to death…"

At that moment, a tall figure stepped out of the car.

His rugged face was covered with fatigue, looking as if his body had been hollowed out.

Seeing this, Yue Lan's brows lifted with a hint of mockery, "Hey, isn't this our athlete?"

Ximen Zhirou's eyelids twitched, and his features instantly turned awkward.

He hadn't lost his memory; on the contrary, he remembered it all vividly.

Back then, he was trying to shake off a wave of heat.

He exercised wildly, leaping and sprinting on the second floor of the mall like an agile monkey.

Eventually he was so exhausted he could barely move, and finally called a halt.

But it also left him with sore muscles.

"Please help carry Wen Ran and Yu Ning down," Su Yang said.

"Alright."

Just as the two returned to the carriage, Zhang Tiancheng and Luo Qing came down with embarrassed expressions.

Zhang Tiancheng whistled obliviously, trying to mask his awkwardness.

Luo Qing covered her flushed face with her hair, burying her head in Zhang Tiancheng's chest like an ostrich.

"Hey, are we, the little couple, finally willing to part?"

At those words, Luo Qing buried herself even deeper.

Zhang Tiancheng gave a rueful smile, "Yue Jie, stop teasing us. Back then I don't know why, I suddenly became unusually fierce."

"You know, it's all because of male hormones, not my intention."

"Is that so? I see you treat the supermarket as your own room, with no intention to hide at all."

Zhang Tiancheng scratched his head, gave a dry laugh, "My qi and blood are up, sorry sorry."

After speaking, the two fled, running to a nearby spot to look at the scenery.

Watching their backs, Su Yang let out a helpless laugh.

Soon, Wang Defa also stepped out of the car.

He patted his slightly dazed head, and a mooing sound came from his mouth.

"What's happening to me? I feel like a foreign memory was forcefully jammed into my brain," Wang Defa murmured.

He immediately looked up and met two strange gazes.

Wang Defa was startled, asking, "Boss Yue Jie, what do you two mean with those looks?"

Su Yang saw him approach, instinctively stepped back two steps, "Just say it from there, don't come closer."

Wang Defa grew increasingly confused, pondering what the problem actually was.

Could it be…

"What absurd thing did I do?" Wang Defa began to self-reflect.

After all, Su Yang has always been very friendly toward his own people.

But why has he changed today?

At this point, he began to organize the Shishan Code.

After a short while, Wang Defa's eyes widened sharply, and his breath caught.

"I... what the hell?!"

No, no, this is absurd, damn it.

How could I have done that to Xiao Wu?

I clearly...

Wang Defa's tiger-like torso shivered, and his face instantly filled with shame.

"How much psychological trauma does this give Xiao Wu?"

But at that moment, Zhuang Wu staggered down from the vehicle, half‑asleep.

He looked as if he had just woken up, his eyes not fully open.

Seeming still to be sleepwalking, his body lurched the instant he hit the ground, his shoulder colliding with Wang Defa.

"Sorry, I didn't stand steady," Zhuang Wu apologized subconsciously.

"Xiao Wu, it's okay."

Hearing that familiar voice, Zhuang Wu's body tensed.

The sticky memory was awakened, and his mind instantly cleared.

The unbearable memories all surfaced, and Zhuang Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He leapt backward like a startled rabbit, his face full of vigilance.

Wang Defa, seeing his cautious demeanor, felt even more guilt and sympathy.

"Listen to my explanation; at that moment I was blinded by evil qi, it wasn't my intention."

"Just stand there and talk, don't come over!" Zhuang Wu shouted.

"Xiao Wu, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"I certainly know, but I still can't accept it."

"It's fine, let the past drift with the wind, forget all the unpleasantness."

"Give me a moment alone to calm down."

"Come, let brother give you a hug."

"Don't..."

Zhuang Wu, seeing that, bolted away.

Wang Defa, unwilling to be outdone, gave chase wildly.

The two chased each other around the office building, running round after round.

Su Yang and Yue Lan stared speechlessly at their antics, a few dark lines forming on their foreheads.

"Um... are your Dependents really gay?" Yue Lan asked, turning her head.

"I think... no, it's probably a Side Effect that caused it," Su Yang explained.

"Side Effects can affect orientation?" Yue Lan was greatly shocked.

"Hard to say, who knows," Su Yang shook his head helplessly.

If what happened before was true, then now Wang Defa is undoubtedly teasing Zhuang Wu.

The more one shows disgust, the more the other rushes to catch up to prove.

In the next instant, Lu Junsheng and Ximen Zhirou together lifted the two women down.

"Boss, it's done," Ximen Zhirou said, awaiting further instructions.

Su Yang directly hoisted each of them onto his shoulders, lifted his chin and signaled, "Watch them."

"You go alone?" Yue Lan's eyebrows furrowed.

"Having many people isn't good, I'm doing this to prove something."

"Let me investigate thoroughly, then I'll send you up," Su Yang said.

"What if this is a Trap?" Yue Lan said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'm in a hurry, she's even more urgent," Su Yang replied with a cryptic smile.

Yue Lan instantly understood and reminded, "Be careful in everything; if danger arises, don't shoulder it alone."

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Watch my Dependents closely, don't let them run amok."

"I'll be right back!"
