Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System!-Chapter 158: Bluish-purple Bruises

A week passed, and Yu Man only occasionally received messages from Lai. He seemed very busy, and sometimes she could only learn about Lai’s whereabouts from his assistant.

Yu Man couldn’t help but worry.

She worried whether Esie was causing trouble...

A few days later, Yu Man called the moving company and started moving to the villa next to Lu Cheng’s.

Lu Cheng cheerfully brought over the Beast Husband to help.

Yu Man was pregnant, and although she wanted to help with the packing, Atier and Guan Heng firmly placed her aside, not allowing her to pack!

Yu Man was helpless, so she just watched them pack and chatted with Lu Cheng.

After half a day of packing, it was almost done, and Lu Cheng had some business to attend to and left, planning to come back for dinner in the evening.

Yu Man opened the Light Brain to pass the time and suddenly saw a foreign news story.

It mentioned a noble from a certain country had fallen into a coma due to a medical accident caused by an incompetent doctor, and was likely to remain a vegetative state for life. The doctor had now fled and was nowhere to be found...

Upon seeing a backlit photo in the news, Yu Man instantly recognized Lai!

She immediately called Lai’s assistant, Fei’er, but could only hear a busy signal.

"Guan Heng..." Yu Man stood up and hurriedly called Guan Heng over.

"What’s wrong?" Guan Heng saw she didn’t look well, "Don’t rush, sit down first! Speak slowly if there’s something wrong."

Yu Man’s heart was tightened with concern, but she quickly calmed down and held Guan Heng’s hand, "Guan Heng, I want you to do me a favor and help me find out about Lai’s whereabouts."

Before Lai left, he had told her not to believe any news she heard and not to worry about him.

Presumably, Lai already had a plan.

Yet, the heart is always worried.

If she didn’t investigate, she wouldn’t be at ease.

Guan Heng was taken aback, "Did something happen? Tell me about it, and I can help you better."

Yu Man handed him the news on the Light Brain and then told Guan Heng about Lai’s instructions to her from a week ago.

"Esie Burles has always harbored resentment against Lai, please help me check his recent movements as well."

Guan Heng pursed his lips, "Understood, I’ll ask someone to inquire. Don’t worry, since he told you, he probably knows what to expect."

"I’ll go investigate right now, rest assured, I’ll inform you as soon as there is news."

Yu Man nodded, no longer as panicked as before. After Guan Heng left, Yu Man remembered something and said to Atier, "Manman should be finishing school soon, right?"

Atier nodded, "Shang Yuan went to pick up Manman and Shang Yu."

Now that the two families lived close together, they could take turns picking up the two children.

"Hmm..."

Once Yu Manman returned home, Yu Man looked for her daughter.

"Manman, I want you to do me a favor."

"What do you need, Mom?"

Yu Man wanted Yu Manman to take out the Prediction Device to predict whether Lai is in any danger right now.

Yu Manman immediately took out the Prediction Device from the system space to predict the whereabouts of Lai, who was currently missing.

The number on the Prediction Device was 69, and it was orange!

Lai is very likely to be in danger...

This made Yu Man’s heart involuntarily tighten again.

"Mom, should we find Fourth Dad?"

Yu Man pondered for a moment, "Let’s wait for now..."

Before Lai left, he also told her that if she couldn’t contact him, she shouldn’t use Manman’s retrieval tool to find him, claiming he wouldn’t get into trouble.

"Then I’ll give this to you!" Yu Manman handed the retrieval tool to her mother.

"Okay." Yu Man carefully kept it.

Let’s first see if there’s any news from Guan Heng.

After handing the device to her mom, Yu Manman suddenly had a question in her heart.

No matter if it was mom, dad, second dad, third dad, fifth dad, the system had tasks for all!

But, for fourth dad, she had been in this book world for so long yet hadn’t encountered a task specifically for fourth dad?

Why was that?

Yu Manman was puzzled.

Yu Manman suddenly had a shopping impulse...

Wanting to spend Luck Value to have the system provide information about fourth dad, but she was still reluctant.

Yu Manman thought if there were no news about fourth dad in a few days, she would spend a hundred Luck Value to use the Information Retrieval Device to pull out all information about fourth dad!

Though the system’s retrieval device could only query past events, in the eyes of the system, she was now 23 years old, so presumably, she could find information about fourth dad!

In the following week, Yu Manman daily predicted Lai’s situation.

The danger index was around fifty to sixty, seemingly no life-threatening danger.

Guan Heng still hadn’t tracked down Lai’s whereabouts.

But Esie had returned to the Burles family.

Yu Man was already suspecting that Lai had been captured by Esie...

Until one day, Burles continued sending people to Song Chen’s company, arriving was the most inconspicuous third son—Corbin.

That day, Yu Man happened to be at the company preparing for the second batch of Rest Pod experiments.

"Can I speak with you in private?" Corbin asked, "It’s regarding your Beast Husband, Lai."

"I’m here representing my eldest brother."

He referred to the eldest son of the Burles family, Jenkins.

"Lai was secretly captured by my crazy second brother, Esie." Corbin said, "The recent medical incident caused by Lai was also a trap deliberately set by Esie."

Corbin sat down, picked up a cup from the table to drink some tea, but accidentally spilled it.

"Sorry..."

Corbin wiped his hand with a napkin.

It was inadvertently that Song Chen saw the bruised marks hidden under Corbin’s sleeve.

It seemed he had suffered some abuse and was recently beaten.

Looking at Corbin’s slightly timid demeanor, Song Chen recalled the pleading look Corbin had when he came to deliver invitations last time...

Indeed, he wasn’t having an easy time at the Burles family.

Esie wasn’t in Flower Country, so who else had hit him? That should be the Burles family’s most reputable eldest son, Jenkins.

Song Chen looked at him, "You say it like this, aren’t you afraid I’ll report you right now? Accuse your Burles family of illegally detaining Beastmen?"

Corbin gave a shallow smile, "It’s no matter, really, after all, we would like to see Esie in trouble too."

"But..." Corbin shrugged, "Are you sure you’ll be able to find Lai before Esie can act if you report us? We aren’t even sure where Esie has imprisoned him."

"Your conditions?" Yu Man went straight to the point.

"Authorize the Rest Pod technology to us, and we’ll help you rescue Lai."

"How do we know you’re not purposely teaming up to threaten us?" Song Chen sneered.

Corbin opened his mouth, somewhat silent, "We wouldn’t..."

"You should leave now, I feel there’s nothing more to discuss."

"Then you’ll just watch Lai..."

"That’s our affair." Song Chen directly dismissed him.

Corbin left quietly.

Yu Man stood up and lowered her head to look at the water stains on the table, and exchanged a look with Song Chen...
