"It's already afternoon..." Zheng Yubai got up from the bed and looked at the alarm clock, only to find that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The previous night, he had spent too much energy and strength to rescue and sink the car during the blackout. Although he had rested for a few hours, he was still a little tired.

He opened the curtains, letting the sun shine on his body, and stood quietly in the sun for a few minutes. The sun opened up the pores on his skin, and his spirit gradually perked up, driving away the fatigue from his body.

When I came to the living room, it was quiet. On the dining table there was a pizza box, a half-drunk bottle of red wine, scattered candies and cakes, a pile of snacks, and even two half-burned scented candles.

"It seems like they have something to celebrate." Zheng Yubai thought. He swallowed his saliva, opened the refrigerator, took out a bag of frozen dumplings, and cooked them to fill his stomach.

This is the downside of living alone. Zheng Yubai finished washing the dishes and felt that his life was a little too irregular. Although it was related to working night shifts, the man always took care of him carelessly, ate simply and sloppily, and often didn't clean up the house, making it a mess.

"I should buy a cookbook and learn how to cook some nutritious dishes in the future." Zheng Yubai secretly made up his mind.

It was still early, Zheng Yubai turned on the TV and casually changed the channels. Just after watching for a while, Yu Luo's door opened, and the girl came out with disheveled hair and yawning.

Seeing Zheng Yubai, Yu Luo nodded to him sleepily and went straight to the bathroom.

"How strange, isn't she trading stocks? The market is almost closing..." Zheng Yubai wondered doubtfully.

Yu Luo was much more energetic when she came out of the bathroom. She sat at the table and gulped down the red wine bottle without paying attention to Zheng Yubai standing beside her. Zheng Yubai was stunned and thought that he didn't expect that she looked like a cute rag doll, but she drank so vigorously so early in the morning.

Yu Luo took a big sip of red wine, wiped her lips in a very unladylike manner, stood up staggeringly, and went back to her room. However, she didn't know whether she was still sleepy or had drunk too much, but she actually forgot to close the door.

Zheng Yubai looked at the wide open door, hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up and walked over to help her close it.

Arriving at Yu Luo's door, Zheng Yubai couldn't help but look inside and was stunned.

Yu Luo's room was much bigger than Zheng Yubai's. The thick curtains were drawn tightly, completely blocking the windows and not letting in any sunlight.

There was a huge L-shaped long table in the room, with four 22-inch LCD monitors densely placed on it, flashing all kinds of lights in the dark room. Under the table, all kinds of wires and data cables were tangled together, making it look like a mess.

Yu Luo was lying on the bed with her legs spread out, sleeping soundly, but her sleeping posture was totally inconsistent with her sweet appearance. It seemed that this cute and delicate girl had a carefree personality, a bit like a man.

"What a strange girl..." Zheng Yubai closed the door gently, scratched his head and muttered.

Few girls are so interested in computers, let alone putting four computers in the room. If I remember correctly, she also has a laptop. Does stock trading require so many devices

He returned to the sofa and switched channels. When he switched to the Jinghai Channel, it was the news broadcast at the hour. The news programs throughout the day were all about the power outage in Jinghai and the theft of the Qingming Shanghe Tu. Zheng Yubai took a look when he came back in the morning, but later found that the reports were all the same and the police seemed to have made no progress, so he was not very interested. But now that he is bored, he might as well take a look.

The program being broadcast was about the news that the head of the power supply department in Jinghai was forced to resign. When the reporter interviewed him, the head was very angry and said that the power outage in Jinghai must have been a long-planned conspiracy, because the hackers who attacked the power supply center used 100,000 computers and IP addresses from more than 100 countries to attack, and also implanted Trojans to destroy the museum's backup power equipment.

The person in charge swore that the other party was either a huge hacker organization cooperating with an international theft group, or a certain country used its national power to do it, otherwise they would not have the power to break through the iron wall of the power supply center.

Zheng Yubai felt that what the person in charge said made sense. Such a major incident, linked together, was obviously a pre-planned conspiracy. There are many major events in the world that the whole world knows are conspiracies, but there is no evidence.

The princess of a wealthy small African country fell off a cliff in a car accident 20 years ago, the former princess of a constitutional monarchy died in a car accident, a famous sexy star died suddenly, the son of a martial artist was shot strangely on the set... Such things happen one after another, and ordinary people are kept in the dark. They can only hear the noise but don't know why.

In fact, no matter who did this, Zheng Yubai should be thanked. If there hadn't been a blackout, it would have been extremely difficult for him to destroy the Maserati before Fang Hongjin and the flat-headed man without exposing his identity.

"I can't forget the first time I saw you, your charming eyes..." The phone rang. Zheng Yubai picked it up and saw that it was Susu's number.

After answering the phone, before he could say anything, he heard crying in the receiver. Zheng Yubai was startled and asked hurriedly, "Is that Susu? What's wrong with you?"

"Brother... that beast, he beat my mom." Su Su sobbed softly.

"Don't cry first. Where are you? I'll come to find you." Zheng Yubai asked anxiously.

Susu told Zheng Yubai that she was in Jinghai Hospital, her mother was beaten by her stepfather and was being bandaged. Zheng Yubai comforted her and told her not to worry, and hurried out of the house, hailed a car and went straight to Jinghai Hospital.

When he arrived at Jinghai Hospital, Zheng Yubai saw Susu, with a haggard face and tears on her face, standing alone and helpless at the door.

"Susu, are you okay?" Zheng Yubai ran over and asked with sympathy.

Susu's clean and fair little face was covered with traces of tears. As soon as she saw Zheng Yubai, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

The patients who came to see the doctor and the doctors and nurses who came in and out all looked at Zheng Yubai strangely. Their eyes clearly asked how could this man be like this and actually bully a girl.

Zheng Yubai couldn't tell the difference and could only coax Susu in his arms.

Susu cried for a long time, probably because she was tired, she raised her head and said pitifully: "Mom is in the hospital."

Zheng Yubai coaxed Susu and asked her to wipe away her tears. He went to a nearby supermarket to buy some fruits and nutritional supplements, and went to Susu's mother's ward with her. (To be continued)
