Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 592 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (71)

Yan Zhen retorted as if he had heard a joke, "You're only just realizing this fact now?"

Gao Shenghan: "...I want to see Xiaoyu."

“I never stopped him from coming to see you; it was his own unwillingness,” Yan Zhen said. “The same principle applies to not stopping him; if he doesn’t want to come, I won’t force him to see you.”

Gao Shenghan's expression twisted slightly.

But at this moment he didn't even have the strength to get angry. His distorted expression finally turned into pain: "I just want to see him one last time before I die. He has always listened to you. If you persuade him, he will come to the hospital."

Yan Zhen asked in surprise, "Why should I help you persuade him?"

Gao Shenghan: "..."

"Since you know there's no turning back, then accept it quietly. You brought this result upon yourself, so it's impolite to keep jumping around."

Yan Zhen walked out of the hospital, and Xiao Yun was waiting for him in the parking lot as usual.

Yan Zhen got into the passenger seat and took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to him.

Xiao Yun looked a little surprised: "This is..."

"The red envelope was originally for Lao Zhang's New Year, but since you took over Lao Zhang's workload on New Year's Eve, the red envelope is yours."

Xiao Yun was both amused and exasperated. He accepted the red envelope and said respectfully, "Thank you, boss."

Upon returning to the Yan family home, Yan Zhen was greeted by her mother as soon as she entered, her eyes frequently glancing behind her.

Yan Zhen saw through her thoughts and said bluntly, "Stop looking, Xiao Yun didn't come in."

"It's the New Year, why didn't you invite them in for a seat?" Aunt Yan scolded, "They've been your driver for so long, after all."

"It's the Lunar New Year, let's not keep him from coming home for New Year's Eve dinner." Yan Zhen pushed his mother towards the living room. "Xiao Heng isn't back yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Heng's voice came from behind her: "They're here."

Upon hearing this, Yan's mother immediately went to greet him just as she had greeted Yan Zhen, and once again peeked behind Yan Heng.

Yan Heng also showed a helpless expression, and hugged his mother as they returned to the living room: "Xiao Jiu and Xiao Liu didn't come."

Yan's mother: "..."

She said irritably, "And I had so many dishes prepared."

Yan Heng smiled and said, "Let Auntie keep some; I'll pack it up when I leave later."

"Some dishes don't taste good when reheated," Yan's mother grumbled, but still asked, "What does Sheng Jiu like to eat?"

Yan Heng named a few dishes, and his mother went into the kitchen to have them prepared.

Yan Zhen, standing to the side, subtly observed Yan Heng, sensing that something about Yan Heng seemed different today.

Yan Heng greeted his father, who was drinking tea in the living room, and then turned to meet Yan Zhen's gaze.

With just one glance, Yan Zhen immediately realized from Yan Heng's clear eyes and calm demeanor that the person in front of him was not "Yan Heng," but Zhou Yanqing, the main god candidate of the Quick Transmigration Division.

"Mission accomplished?"

"Correct."

Yan Zhen said casually, "Congratulations, you can leave work early."

Zhou Yanqing smiled and said, "Shall we go outside and chat?"

The two walked to the corridor outside the living room, and Zhou Yanqing got straight to the point: "In three months at most, I plan to leave this world."

Intelligent people don't need much explanation when communicating; Yan Zhen understood Zhou Yanqing's meaning.

In this world, the two are siblings. Zhou Yanqing dies as Yan Heng, and the two elders of the Yan family, as well as Gao Xinyu, who has a good relationship with Yan Heng, are bound to bear the pain of losing their loved ones.

As a member of the Yan family, Yan Zhen will likely experience this pain, which will probably last for several years and may even accompany his parents for the rest of their lives. This pain will more or less affect Yan Zhen.

Even if she feels nothing and knows that her "brother" is just off work, she will still be affected when her parents are sad or fall ill from excessive grief.

Yan Zhen pondered for a few seconds, then turned and looked out the window at the living room.

Yan's mother somehow got hold of a large box and carefully selected and filled it with a lot of expensive seasonal fruits.

Watching the busy figure of the woman in her sixties, Yan Zhen made a decision: "Okay, I'll take care of the aftermath. Let me know before you leave."

"Okay, I'll help you."

After finishing her New Year's Eve dinner at home, Zhou Yanqing left with a large box of fruit in her right hand and a bag of main dishes and desserts packed by the nanny in her left hand.

Yan's mother saw him to the door and reminded him, "Drive carefully."

"I got it, Mom."

-

After the New Year, in March.

After spring arrived and the weather warmed up, Gao Shenghan's condition deteriorated rapidly, and he stopped breathing one night at the end of March.

Less than a month after the funeral, the Hangzhou Anti-Organized Crime Office issued a notice stating that after two months of investigation and pursuit, the police had eradicated a criminal gang that operated casinos and loan sharks.

In the list of names published, Yu Yanfei's name, along with his photo and ID number, stood out. As a core member of this criminal gang, he was sentenced to seventeen years in prison.

After Yan Zhen finished reading the announcement, his phone chimed with an email notification.

After she finished reading it, she found it was a scheduled email from Zhou Yanqing—this candidate for the position of Chief God had gone abroad several months ago and had left this world an hour ago.

Putting away the tablet, Yan Zhen turned to the system's virtual floating screen, which he hadn't touched in a long time, to check his task points.

The mission in this world was completed before Gao Shenghan died, and the points have already been credited to his account.

Yan Zhen opened the system store and browsed through the wide variety of products.

Just then, Xiaoqi came online and asked in a childish voice, "Master, what do you want to buy? Xiaoqi can do it for you."

Yan Zhen said expressionlessly, "Buy the mute medicine."

Xiao Qi was taken aback: "A mute...mute medicine?"

"If you speak to me in that voice again, I'll poison you until you're mute."

Xiaoqi: "..."

The next moment, it wisely changed to a deep and serious voice: "Master, what would you like to buy?"

Yan Zhen flipped through more than a dozen pages of the product list but still couldn't find what she wanted.

"I remember there was something in the store called an eraser... I found it."

After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he frowned deeply, "So expensive?"

Even if she completes a task and maxes out her points, she will only get 100 points.

This damn eraser costs 700 points!

"Tsk... Working under Zhou Bapi, you'll go hungry nine times in three days." Yan Zhen complained as he added the eraser to his shopping cart and readily paid for the points.

After completing the purchase, Yan Zhen entered her world ID on the redemption page, and after being redirected, she entered the two characters "Yan Heng". After confirming that the information was correct, she clicked "Confirm Use".

Watching the content about "Yan Heng" in the timeline being deleted line by line, word by word, until it disappeared completely.

"It's done!"

Xiaoqi then realized what Yan Zhen had done and exclaimed in surprise, "You deleted all traces of President Zhou's existence in this world?"

"Correct."

Using this "eraser" prop, the character "Yan Heng" will no longer exist in anyone's memory in this world.

After completing the task and receiving the points, Zhou Yanqing's existence was completely erased.

Xiaoqi asked, "Why?"

The original owner was in poor health, and Yan Zhen suffered a lot while doing this mission, and in the end, he still had to pay out 600 points.

Before Yan Zhen could speak, there was a knock on the door, and her mother's voice came through: "Zhenzhen, did you forget to take your medicine again? Come out and take it right away!"
