Wen Ziyue stood steadily nearby, thanks to his robot.
The person knocked down was a short-haired woman, whose glasses fell to the ground and shattered.
Although it was the other party's carelessness, crashing into him without looking, Wen Ziyue had always been a gentleman.
He crouched slightly and extended a hand to the woman on the ground, "Are you alright, Miss?"
Ren Liuliu, being extremely nearsighted, couldn't see the person in front of her. She fumbled for a few moments but couldn't find her glasses.
"I'm fine."
After a brief reply, she decided she didn't need her glasses anymore and got up to leave.
Ren Liuliu was supposed to meet with people from the black market here for an unfinished transaction.
But for some reason, the people who were usually punctual hadn't arrived even after the appointed time, and she couldn't reach them.
She had a bad feeling.
To be safe, she decided to leave and not waste any more time here.
Wen Ziyue looked at the broken glasses on the ground. He hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick them up.
However, when he looked back, the woman had already disappeared.
Wen Ziyue placed the spider-webbed glasses on the nearest windowsill.
If the woman came back looking for them, she should be able to see them immediately.
When Wen Ziyue arrived at Wen Bai's villa with his robot.
He didn't see Wen Bai there. He only saw Manager Li, who was still busy directing robotic workers to load damaged sofas, tables, and chairs onto a truck.
Outside the gate of Wen Bai's villa, on the usually immaculately clean path, was now piled with furniture that Wen Ziyue recognized as belonging to Wen Bai's home.
However, the furniture was severely damaged, some beyond recognition. Wen Ziyue could only identify them by their color and material from his memory.

Daybreak came, and light streamed through the curtains, only to be firmly blocked.
Inside the room, Wen Bai, buried in his pillow, was still fast asleep, his breathing even and subtly rising and falling.
575 had already cleaned the entire house from top to bottom. After confirming that every spot met his standards, 575 very gently opened his master's bedroom door.
After a while, there was a slight stir on the bed.
Wen Bai slowly emerged from his deep sleep.
As he opened his eyes, 575 slowly pulled back the curtains.
Upon opening his eyes, Wen Bai could see the back and side profile of his robot.
After a night's rest, Wen Bai felt full of energy and spirit, his fatigue completely gone.
He had truly slept soundly this time.
During the brief period after waking up each day, when Wen Bai was relaxed, his mind was always a bit hazy, making him appear somewhat dazed.
He sat dazed on the bed for a minute, then threw off the covers, preparing to get up.
However, before he could react, he felt his chin being gently held and lifted, followed by a warm, wet sensation on his lips.
He saw an extremely handsome face, very close to his own.
After the kiss, he heard his robot 575 whisper in a steamy, moist voice, "Master, would you like me to take care of it now?"
Wen Bai was momentarily confused until 575's hand slipped under the covers, and he let out a soft hum.
But at this point, he had no choice.
575's sapphire blue eyes deepened, and he took this as his master's tacit consent.
He gently pushed his master back against the headboard.
...
Wen Bai sat expressionlessly at the dining table.
He was no longer as flustered as he had been the first time.
He calmly waited for his breakfast, though the redness on his ears had not yet faded.
When breakfast was served, Wen Bai began to eat.
System 001 ended its dormancy and spoke, "Host, did you rest well last night? You look very good today."
"Mm," Wen Bai replied indifferently, eating the breakfast prepared by 575.
The mobile phone in the living room rang briefly, indicating an incoming message.
Hearing the sound, 575 went to the living room to retrieve the phone for Wen Bai.
Wen Bai took the phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Manager Li.
As if worried about disturbing Wen Bai's rest, Manager Li had sent a text message instead of calling.
He briefly stated in the message that the house had been tidied up, and fortunately, the walls had not been scratched. It was completely as good as new, and he informed Wen Bai that it was ready for occupancy.

The withdrawn bounty also sparked discussions worldwide.
Everyone was speculating and curious about who had obtained the opportunity for financial freedom.
At exactly 8 AM, some people were on their way to work, some students were preparing for class, and some were just waking up...
A piece of gossip, accompanied by high-definition images, appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the news. However, this seemingly insignificant news item exploded like a torpedo hitting a pond.
An anonymous paparazzi was originally staking out the villa area where Wen Bai lived, hoping to catch a wealthy businessman with his mistress.
He had been waiting for days but hadn't managed to catch the businessman's mistress.
Unexpectedly, this time, he aimed his camera at the robot at the center of the globally sensational high-value bounty.
At first, he thought his eyes were deceiving him. But after zooming in and confirming multiple times with photos on his phone, he decisively took several consecutive shots.
This was an unexpected bonus, perhaps heaven had finally favored him once.
With the high-definition camera zoomed in, even from a hundred meters away, he clearly captured the side profile of the person who delivered the robot.
However, this side profile made him question his own sanity.
He repeatedly asked himself if it was possible that the person just looked similar.
With this thought in mind, he released the photos that very day.
The news related to the high-value bounty had already garnered global attention.
What made everyone even more incredulous was that the person who returned the robot was someone very familiar to the public—top celebrity Gou Zhe.
When this news first broke, everything seemed normal.
Until later, when someone released a video clip, clearly from surveillance footage, with even the date and specific time, accurate to the second.
The surveillance footage showed a corridor in a restaurant.
Gou Zhe, with a roguish smile that was a stark contrast to his appearance on the big screen, closely followed a man in front of him. Even with the man's indifferent attitude, he persistently followed, trying to strike up a conversation. And closely accompanying the man was the impeccably perfect robot from the bounty advertisement.
