Ever since Feng Dongdong discovered Xue Lingqiao's identity, his whole state-of-mind had been refreshed. He used to be occasionally late for work, but now he wished he lived in Tian Jingzhi’s house 24/7.

Tian Jingzhi really doubted whether he was her assistant or Xue Lingqiao's assistant. Watching Feng Dongdong smile happily every time he touched the band-aid on his nose, from the result of Xue Lingqiao’s kick, Tian Jingzhi felt powerless. She gave him two days off to recover. 

Tian Jingzhi thought that she could finally have two days of peace. Xue Lingqiao barely made any noise in her house, he only watered the flowers, cleaned, and studied cooking at home every day. If it wasn't for the occasional smell of cooking paste, Tian Jingzhi would have thought that she was still living alone.

The next day, Feng Dongdong came to knock on the door early in the morning. He ran over with his laptop in his arms, and cried loudly, “Miss Tian! Big brother Qiao! Something big happened!”

There is a hot post in the forum, the title is bold and red: ‘Sound the Alarm, Real Monster Sighted at Midnight!’ 

The video quality was poor. A man in black jumped from a height of four or five meters, landed on a dumpster lid, and chased a stray cat. The cat was very fast, but the man in black was more agile. The moment he caught the cat, he jumped to a high place with ease, and disappeared.

At the place where the black-clothed man landed, Feng Dongdang pressed pause and zoomed in on the screen. Although he couldn't see the face of the man in black at all, his figure indeed belonged to Xue Lingqiao.

Tian Jingzhi exploded immediately, she was so anxious that she walked around biting her nails in the living room. 

Xue Lingqiao calmly sat on the sofa holding the laptop, and scrolled down to read the comments with great interest.

Feng Dongrong knelt down beside the sofa and watched the video. Seeing Xue Lingqiao so calm, he became more anxious: “The poster said that if they hit 50 million views, they’ll upload the high definition version!”

Tian Jingzhi bit her  nails and glared at Xue Lingqiao: “If your face is exposed, the whole world will know that there is a monster in my house! Did you drink too much milk and had too much energy that you decided to have a race with a cat?”

Xue Lingqiao continued to scroll and read the comments, “Because that cat was very cute.” 

“And then what did you do after catching it? Just play with it?”

“Yes.”

“If you like cats, you can go to the animal shelter! There are so many homeless cats and dogs waiting for you to show them love!”

Xue Lingqiao nodded seriously, “Okay, I'll go there next time.”

There was no point in being sarcastic with a monster, he will just take it seriously! This is really the epitome of ‘The emperor not panicking, but the eunuch was’! For whom did he think she and Feng Dongdong were so anxious ? 

It seems the eunuch Tian Jingzhi had to discuss countermeasures with the other eunuch Feng Dongdong: “It’s difficult to hit 50 million views, right?”

Feng Dongdong nodded: “Yes, generally speaking, twenty million is already super popular. When I watched it in the morning, there were only 1 million views.”

“It's three million now.” Xue Lingqiao reported in real time.

Tian Jingzhi and Feng Dongdong froze in place, Xue Lingqiao glanced at them, “Why are you nervous? There is no law about arresting someone who has lived over 500 years.” 

Tian Jingzhi pointed at him with trembling hands: “I just can't communicate with you! ... Feng Dongdong, aren't you a hacker? Hack the server of their website directly!”

Feng Dongdong was also very embarrassed: “I can hack the server, but I can't hack the original file. And it's a crime, I'll be arrested, and then you won’t have an assistant!”

“That’s okay, I can always find another assistant!” 

Feng Jiong pouted and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Tian Jingzhi was disgusted and turned to look at Xue Lingqiao, “Anyway, no one knows that you live here. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so you should leave now.”

Xue Lingqiao hugged the computer and shook his head: “No, I have to watch the new episode of the idol drama 'The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me" in the afternoon.”

Tian Jingzhi looked up at the ceiling in despair; it’s over! 

In the dining room of University F, Ye Chen was also watching that video. This kind of poor quality video may be a hype method before a movie is announced. It's nothing more than pretending to be mysterious, buying a bunch of water army to mix in with netizens who don't know the truth.

Professor Li sat in front of him, his face pale and heavy eyebags, he seemed to be lacking rest.

“What are you watching that’s so funny?”

“A little trick that the DV’s came up with to deceive people's attention.” Ye Chen smiled and put away his phone, “The research funds for the second half of the year have already been received. I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thought that the loss of the mummy would be too much and our sponsor would be disappointed... By the way, teacher, who is our sponsor? He has been reluctant to come forward for so many years, he is really a low-key person.”

“He seems to be an avid medical enthusiast. I don't know the specifics... For someone to silently provide funds to sponsor us is a good deed. We can't be ungrateful and suspect others of the source of their money.” 

“I'm just curious, there aren't many people like that now.”

Professor Li choked and started to cough violently. 

Ye Chen hurriedly gave him water and tissues. Professor Li stayed up all day and night, even Iron Man would fall ill in that state. He himself had absolutely no consciousness of dedicating himself to science like this.

“Teacher, when Annie comes back from the United States for summer vacation, she will definitely turn around and leave when she sees that you are still working without rest.”

“I'm fine, I just have a cold.” Professor Li's expression darkened when he heard his daughter's name. “You're right, that's how Annie and her mother left me, but…” Professor Li's eyes suddenly heated up. “I will definitely be able to do it this time. Ye Chen, you are my most talented student. Together with me, we might be able to change the future of all mankind!”

Ye Chen just smiled lightly, “Okay, teacher, but you have to take a good rest first.”

Hearing Ye Chen's perfunctory answer, Professor Li felt a basin of cold water pour on him, his face turned gloomy and became a little aggressive.

“You don't believe me? You think I'm dreaming too?” 

Ye Chen was slightly disappointed. He didn't know when his teacher walked into a dead end, and it was an area that even his most proud students could not reach.

“Teacher... It's not that I don't believe you, but, if you overwork your body like this again, you may not be able to synthesize that perfect repair enzyme, unless a miracle occurs.”

Professor Li clenched his fists. He really didn't have much time. Maybe he should meet the funder of the research center. 

For years they had only been in touch by email and text. He informed the sponsor that the mummified body had come back to life and he was surprised by the funder’s reply of already being aware of it.

That man knew all about the mummified corpse, so who was he? Was he a former beneficiary?

This kind of conjecture made Professor Li unable to contain his excitement. He didn't want to wait, he needed to find the resurrected mummy. 

Ye Chen sighed inwardly as he looked at the suppressed madness in Professor Li's eyes.
