Gu Mian and Mr. Green saw the jump tower in the distance suddenly stop.

But it didn’t stop for long before it started moving again. When the machine rose into the sky once more, Gu Mian saw there seemed to be an extra person on it.

Probably Xiao Qiao found some new amusement.

At this moment, Fatty sent a message in the group.

[Fatty]: Doctor, why haven’t you come back yet? Miss 007 has already returned to the apartment and brought back the Upper-Class person you rescued.

and Lu Yi have returned? No wonder I couldn’t find them outside.

Gu Mian stopped searching and began walking towards the apartment.

After two steps, he suddenly remembered Mr. Green behind him and turned to ask, "Are you coming back with me?"

Mr. Green had no other choice but to follow Gu Mian tearfully.

By the time they returned to the apartment, it was already dusk.

Fatty was standing at the gate, looking around. As soon as he saw Gu Mian, he happily jogged over: "Doctor, you finally returned!"

Then he noticed that there were two other people following Gu Mian.

A little green person and a little red person.

The little red one was indeed Xiao Hong, but the little green one...

"Why is Mr. Green still here?" Fatty looked at Mr. Green, who appeared dejected, in surprise.

Mr. Green glanced at Fatty lethargically, not daring to blame Gu Mian for bringing him back, and could only vent his anger on the Upper-Class people: "It’s all because of those damned Upper-Class people."

He was so close to escaping but got caught by a nosy Upper-Class person!

Thinking of this made Mr. Green grind his teeth in hatred.

"Where are Lu Yi and the others now?" Gu Mian ignored Mr. Green, who was gnashing his teeth beside him, and asked Fatty.

"Lu Yi is that Upper-Class person, right? He came back with Miss 007, and now they’re all in the doctor’s house. I was thinking of tidying up the room next door so that the Upper-Class person can stay there," Fatty pondered for a moment before continuing, "This is the first time I’ve seen such a normal Upper-Class person, even more normal than normal people..."

He thought of the "normal" Xiao Qiao.

Ever since the "Twilight Gods World Incident", Xiao Qiao had become more and more irritable, occasionally breaking a few things.

The door that Xiao Qiao smashed a few days ago still wasn’t fixed.

Thankfully, she found a new plaything to vent on and had no time to come back and cause trouble for them.

"By the way," Fatty suddenly remembered something, "when 007 brought Lu Yi back, they happened to run into Xie Bi’an at the door..."

Upon hearing this name, an image of a cloaked man appeared in Gu Mian’s mind, which was the usual attire of Xie Bi’an.

He never revealed any skin, always covering himself tightly with a cloak, wearing gloves, with bandages wrapped around his neck.

Gu Mian suspected that he might be some kind of supernatural object turned spirit, the kind that kills whoever sees it, which is why he kept himself so covered.

Xie Bi’an is a Guardian sent by the Paradise World and is from the same place as Lu Yi. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, he is a lower-class person in the Paradise, having no connections with upper-class Lu Yi.

"Upper-Class people have very distinct features, so pale. Xie Bi’an recognized Lu Yi as an Upper-Class person at a glance. When he saw Lu Yi, he looked a bit flustered. Hmm... he was so tightly wrapped that I couldn’t see his expression, but at that moment he stepped back, so I think he was panicked."

Fatty imitated Xie Bi’an’s actions, shrugging his shoulders, nervously stepping back as if caught stealing.

Gu Mian: "..."

He felt that Xie Bi’an’s actions at the time shouldn’t have been as comical as Fatty made them out to be.

"After stepping back like that, he fled as if running away, and hasn’t returned since." Fatty spread his hands.

It was rare to see Xie Bi’an so out of character.

He usually had a mysterious air, fitting the image of a mastermind in novels.

But today, he was so out of sorts.

It was understandable, though.

In the Paradise World, fear of Upper-Class people was almost ingrained in the bones of lower-class people. Xie Bi’an never thought he’d encounter an Upper-Class person in the real world.

After lingering downstairs for a while, it was already dark when they got home.

The lights weren’t on inside, and it was all dark.

As Gu Mian entered, he saw Chu Changge, 007, and Lu Yi sitting on the couch in the living room. None of them were particularly talkative, and it was the first formal encounter between Chu Changge, 007, and Lu Yi, so they were just sitting there staring at each other.

"Why aren’t the lights on?" Gu Mian wondered and glanced up at the bulb.

Fatty scratched his head: "Our electric card is with Miss Xiao Qiao, and she’s still at the amusement park."

Xiao Qiao was taking her sweet time, so Fatty had to take a few candles from the drawer under the table and light them, placing them on the table, making it feel quite like a candlelight dinner.

Gu Mian joined the trio sitting and staring at each other and plopped down next to Lu Yi.

Now, there were four of them staring at each other.

Finally, it was Lu Yi who first broke the awkward silence: "Thank you for coming to rescue me."

Saying this, he looked at 007 beside him: "I’ve seen you on the circus stage."

During the circus instance, Lu Yi had seen 007 on stage from upstairs, but 007 hadn’t seen Lu Yi then.

"Really, it’s a pleasure," 007 didn’t know what to say and gave a textbook-perfect polite response.

At this moment, Chu Changge suddenly spoke: "Although I only had a quick glance because the situation was tense, if I’m not mistaken, when Gu Mian destroyed the stage and you glanced up, there was no surprise on your face."

He paused, as if recalling the scene: "Your face only showed some confusion, as if to say ’Why are the people rescuing me strangers?’

At that time, Gu Mian and company had altered their appearances, and Lu Yi didn’t recognize them immediately.

Gu Mian also noticed Lu Yi’s expression back then, but the urgency of the situation left no time to delve deeper.

"You knew someone would come to rescue you, didn’t you?" Chu Changge continued.

uneasily shifted back a bit, feeling the atmosphere growing tense.

According to the normal story progression, they should have been celebrating after a successful rescue, but before the joyful celebration could begin, Chu Changge started an intense interrogation.

"Moreover, since you arrived here until now, you haven’t asked a single question; you haven’t asked what this place is or how we brought you here, as if you were already aware of the circumstances," said Chu Changge as he turned to 007, "Did he ask you any questions when you met him?"

shook her head: "No."

The usual Upper-Class person’s reaction should have been confused about where they were and why they were brought here, much like Teacher Slaughter.

Fatty covertly watched from the kitchen, drenched in sweat.

Chu Changge’s tone wasn’t exactly pleasant, and Fatty feared this Upper-Class person might become infuriated, then jump up and shout, "You foolish lower-class people, what do you know!"

But Lu Yi didn’t.

He merely gave Chu Changge a long look, then took a deep breath: "It appears I’m not cut out for acting."
