The Schemer is an embodiment of comprehensive abilities, and few individuals can perfectly integrate all the skills within the Schemer system to reach a state where they possess nothing, yet everything is utilized for their own purpose.
Therefore, most of those who attended Li Jiu's training classes gravitated towards one of the four systems. I have already understood the Stanislavski System Schemer. Lin Zhijun, my father-in-law, whom I encountered before, was an exceptional practitioner of this system. Through an acting method that deeply immersed itself in life, he ultimately eliminated a Schemer of the same level, the 'Agent,' and used the tactic of 'lizard shedding its tail' to sever the Lin family's connection with 'Logical Paradox.'
Ye Qingcheng is also a Schemer of this system. As the saying goes, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting. Of course, besides the actors, there are also masters of manipulating human psychology. Mr. Ke and Ke Yingying fall into this category, referred to as the Psychological Effect System. Xiao Zi'an, on the other hand, is entirely different, belonging to the Situational Stage System. I had thought this system was like Zhu Guang's, creating life-and-death games through specific environments. However, that was not the case, and Xiao Zi'an gave me a vivid lesson.
This goes back to Xiao Zi'an's home. Ye Qingcheng and Susie both know that Xiao Zi'an has a home in Foshan and lives there with her son. Both of them have visited Xiao Zi'an's home. Susie even bought a house to perfectly replicate Xiao Zi'an's home in an attempt to control Ye Qingcheng.
I surmise that Susie did this because she wanted Ye Qingcheng to understand that Xiao Zi'an was also under her control. Even if Ye Qingcheng resisted, upon arriving at Xiao Zi'an's home, I would suspect Xiao Zi'an due to the identical layout.
However, Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Zi'an are both more formidable than Susie anticipated; they are not so easily controlled. I believe that even if I hadn't found the clue left by Ye Qingcheng, Susie would have provided me with one. I suspect they, like me, wanted to know Lin Han's whereabouts.
...
I found Xiao Zi'an earlier than Susie had anticipated and was similarly invited into this home by Xiao Zi'an. If my guess is correct, this family is the true tool they cultivated after Xiao Zi'an's return to the country.
"Teacher Xiao."
"Please, don't say that. I am no 'Teacher Xiao.' We are both disciples of Teacher Li Jiu. I am slightly older than you, so you may call me Mrs. Xiao."
"Mrs. Xiao, you intentionally used the environment to set a trap, leaving me alone at home, didn't you?"
"Mm!"
During our honeymoon, Lin Han was still busy with her business. At that time, someone was following Lin Han. On her way to work, at restaurants near her office, and even once, she entered a coffee shop with Lin Han. From a few tables away, disguised with a mask and sunglasses, the person stared at Lin Han, ensuring Lin Han saw her face clearly.
Lin Han should have told me about this, but she didn't. Nor did she expose the stalker, remaining calm and observing the situation.
A few days later, Lin Han found a note in her bag. It read without preamble: "I want revenge." An ordinary girl seeing this would have immediately chosen to call the police, but Lin Han did not. She looked at the delicate handwriting of the note, pondered for a moment, and then destroyed the evidence.
When I picked her up that evening, she still didn't tell me about it, but I sensed she seemed preoccupied. I asked her if something was wrong, and after a long pause, she replied it was nothing. Seeing her demeanor, I didn't press the matter further.
The next day, Lin Han told me she had to work overtime and asked me to pick her up later. Lin Han rarely worked overtime; she usually brought files home, scattered them across our shared bed, and declared with determination, "I won't sleep until the work is done."
Once she started working in bed, I knew she was extremely tired. Therefore, every time she began working in bed, I would urge her to remove her makeup. Then, I would tidy up the room a bit. Upon my return, I would find her sleeping soundly amidst the files, snoring like a log. Each time, I had to move her around to gather all the documents, while Lin Han slept like a little pig.
So, when she said she had to work overtime, I knew she had encountered something.
...
Thus, I secretly entered Lin Han's office and hid myself to protect her. Shortly after, someone wearing a mask and glasses entered the office. Lin Han smiled, "I've been waiting for you."
The person surveyed Lin Han's office. "It's unlikely for an ordinary person to have such an office, especially a beautiful woman."
Lin Han was not angered at all. "Why should women look down on other women?"
"How did you know my identity?"
"When you followed me, you didn't stay far enough away. A woman's nose is sensitive to the scent of cosmetics. Why are you following me?"
"You don't need to know the reason. Just know that I am here to kill you."
Upon hearing the stalker's words, I almost revealed myself. However, seeing Lin Han's calm expression from a distance, I chose to continue observing.
