"You tell me."

Huang Kaiyu said.

The young married woman said, "It's quite cold now, do you want to get in my car to talk?"

Huang Kaiyu kept his eyes forward: "No need, right here is fine. Speak quickly, after you finish, I still need to feed my cats and dogs."

The young married woman said, "There's an apartment building in Nancheng City called Alice Apartment."

"We provide you with a unit inside, you live there for one day, and we give you ten thousand."

Huang Kaiyu's icy eyes grew even colder at this moment: "Do you take me for a fool, or a lecher who can't move his legs when he sees a woman?"

The young married woman said, "Ah, how can I make you believe me!"

"Hmm... Lucas was once your attending doctor, right?"

The three words 'Lucas' made Huang Kaiyu's expression freeze.

The young married woman: "I know a lot about you, and I'm not some scammer."

"This is my business card, contact me if you're interested."

"I came looking for you also because there's another patient of Lucas inside, he really wants to meet other patients who were treated by Lucas like him."

The young married woman had signed up quite a few lab rats, therefore, she knew this kind of thing couldn't be rushed.

Out of ten lab rats, you wouldn't find one who agreed to sign the agreement on the first meeting.

After giving the business card.

The young married woman drove away.

Huang Kaiyu, after the young married woman left, opened the courtyard gate and rode his motorcycle inside.

Last time, following Lucas's instructions, Huang Kaiyu's night raid on Jiang Ran was unsuccessful, and he fell from the third floor.

After receiving treatment in the hospital, he had long since been discharged and recovered.

And after being discharged and recovering, he discovered that ever since that fall, his physical condition was noticeably worse than before.

Doing many physical tasks required extreme caution, fearing the injured areas would get hurt again.

Of course, it was also fortunate he was still relatively young and had recovered quite well.

And, during his hospital stay, something very unpleasant happened to him.

He was hospitalized, and the many stray cats and dogs in his courtyard had no one to feed them.

And the area he lived in was a demolition zone with few people, so there were no leftover scraps of food.

This led to the tragedy of cats and dogs eating each other.

Cats ate cats, dogs ate dogs, cats ate dogs, dogs ate cats.

Huang Kaiyu still remembered when he returned to his courtyard and saw those bloody, rotten scenes, he felt like the sky had collapsed.

The only positive outcome this incident caused: a massive reduction in the number of cats and dogs.

The amount of food needed for daily feeding was greatly reduced.

Saving money.

But, this situation wouldn't last long either, because cats and dogs reproduce very quickly...

"Raising so many cats and dogs, I've indeed been out of money for a long time."

Huang Kaiyu was very troubled.

Because he had to take care of these stray cats and dogs.

So he couldn't take jobs like factory assembly line work, as that would leave no time or energy.

He could only choose delivery work with flexible hours, but the monthly income from food delivery was hardly enough to support so many cats and dogs.

Therefore, he resorted to online loans.

His personal credit had long been bankrupt.

The things Huang Kaiyu did, in the eyes of others, would already mark him as a lunatic.

After all, who would take out online loans, go into debt, to rescue and raise these stray cats and dogs?

As mentioned before, in this world, there are actually very few so-called normal people, and Huang Kaiyu definitely wasn't one.

...

Alice Apartment.

A little after 1 PM.

Jiang Ran was sitting in his living room, basking in the sunlight coming from the balcony.

The sun shone on him, making his whole body warm and cozy, very comfortable.

During this period, he planned to recuperate from his injuries, and after recovering, he would resume his work and life.

Anyway, he currently had quite a bit of money in his bank card, so he wasn't worried about daily necessities during this time.

Because he was recuperating, he didn't plan to run around.

Just stayed at home.

Staying at home meant being surrounded by electronic devices.

Jiang Ran chose to watch TV dramas.

Of course, having watched too many domestic dramas since childhood, he decided to change things up.

See how foreign dramas differed from domestic ones.

He searched on Bilibili for drama recommendations from Cherry Blossom Country.

After watching quite a few.

He chose to watch a medical drama from Cherry Blossom Country that was highly praised domestically and dominated the ratings—"The White Tower."

TV dramas from Cherry Blossom Country were very different from domestic dramas in Hua Country.

Most dramas over there were eight or nine episodes, around ten episodes.

While domestic dramas were generally dozens of episodes for sure.

"The White Tower" had over twenty episodes.

When watching dramas, Jiang Ran still used his usual favorite—1.5x speed.

Just like that, he sat in the living room and watched three episodes on the TV.

Jiang Ran exclaimed how satisfying it was.

This "The White Tower" had a very different focus compared to domestic medical dramas.

Many domestic medical dramas focused on medical conflicts between patients and doctors.

"The White Tower" had that too, but the focus of this drama was on power struggles, political infighting, medical corruption, etc., within the hospital.

After finishing three episodes, he closed his eyes to rest for a moment, then took out his phone, ready to browse.

Just as he unlocked his phone with his fingerprint.

The phone's navigation bar popped up with notifications from various apps.

Normally, Jiang Ran would swipe to the bottom and tap 'Clear All.'

After all, the stuff these apps pushed was boring garbage.

But this time was different.

Jiang Ran originally intended to tap clear, but with a casual glance, he was immediately drawn in.

He tapped on one of them, and the opened page had the title:

Scandal Video of Pure Actress Gu Lan and Her Sugar Daddy Exposed!!

Below the title was the article content.

At 3 AM today, an indecent video of pure actress Gu Lan and a mysterious man spread across the entire internet...

The content was long, basically describing this incident.

Anyway, it was about an indecent video of Gu Lan and a young man in that regard, which was secretly filmed and exposed online.

There were also several pictures with mosaics.

After all, this was a legitimate software platform, which wouldn't allow pornographic images or videos, so they were all mosaicked, only the faces of the male and female leads in the video—two people—were not mosaicked.

"Gu Lan..."

Jiang Ran knew this female celebrity, Gu Lan.

She was a year or two older than him.

Her public image was that of a pure, innocent girl, a little white flower, kind, gentle, chaste, etc...

And he had never heard of Gu Lan having any scandals, especially romantic or sexual scandals; her brand was that she had never had a boyfriend.

It was also because of this packaged image that the exposure of such an indecent video could cause such a huge uproar.

Of course, if Gu Lan was a nobody, it wouldn't matter much, but mainly her popularity wasn't low; she was a solid second-tier star with potential to reach first-tier.

"This should be her boyfriend, right? Judging from his face, he looks quite young."

Jiang Ran analyzed from these photos that only mosaicked the bodies, not the faces.

Exiting this app, he opened other apps.

Any app with short videos or image-text content.

The top trending item was all about the Gu Lan indecent video news.

Opening TikTok, in the comment section below a video about Gu Lan's indecent video.

There were tons of people asking for the video.
