This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Tao Yueyue just happened to be wearing the clothes Lin Dongxue had helped her pick that day. She looked like a dashing boy. kk praised, "Yueyue is really becoming more and more beautiful. When you grow up, would you like to marry Uncle?"

"No, you’re old and poor."

"Haha, do you have to be so straightforward?"

Chen Shi interrupted the two, "What are you saying to my little lover?!"

"Why didn't Sister-in-Law come?"

"She... has something to do." Chen Shi fibbed. "Help me get the list of employees as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, let's blend into the environment first!" As he said this, kk picked up a mobile phone, "Fuck, this is a mobile game? It's a 3A masterpiece!"

"Uncle Chen, is that caviar?!" Tao Yueyue happily ran towards a table, picked up the caviar cake and ate it.

Xu Xiaodong and Little Li also tried out the latest social networking software and had a great time trying them out. Chen Shi thought that they were too immersed in the environment.

However, Hai Guoyang hadn't appeared yet and it was still early, so there was no need to be so nervous for the time being.

Chen Shi picked up a mobile phone installed with several apps that were to be released this time. Among them was a "portable butler" described as a mobile phone application that crosses the ages during the promotion. Chen Shi clicked on it and it asked Chen Shi to enter some basic information. Chen Shi entered the data one by one.

A lovable 3D character appeared and said, "Mr. Chen, I’m your portable butler. I will provide you with consulting services anytime and anywhere. According to your personal data, you are now in an ascendant period of your career. The butler reminds you, remember to take time out occasionally to spend time with your family!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Shi noticed some options on the top of the screen and selected “relationship consultation”.

The 3D character said, "You are a very considerate husband and have a reputation as a good man. You have just gotten married recently and are in the honeymoon period. But as the freshness of marriage disappears, a red rose may appear in your life. This will impact your family relationship, so please be rational!"

Chen Shi's eyes widened. This kind of prediction had already surpassed an ordinary beta app. He said to himself, "Life Functions!?"

"Sir, how do you know about life functions?" asked a woman wearing glasses in a burgundy evening dress.

"Are you an employee of this company?"

"Yes, I am in charge of the code." The woman smiled and held out her hand. "Chen Anhe."

Hearing this name, Chen Shi was shocked. She was the female graduate student who invented the life functions. It turned out that she was now working in this company. As a businessman, Hai Guoyang would naturally think of using something as ingenious as life functions to obtain profit.

Chen Shi shook hands with her, "My name is Chen Shi. I'm a policeman!"

"Police?" Chen Anhe smiled. "So, are you here to investigate President Hai?"

"You know it very clearly. In fact, I also know about you. You’re a mathematics graduate student. You were previously charged in court for killing your husband and received counseling before from Gu You."

"As expected of the police, the investigation is really meticulous!" Chen Anhe smiled calmly. "The original code of this app was indeed based on life functions. People have different interests and hobbies. There is only one thing that everyone is interested in. That’s themselves. The portable butler can help users attain a more comprehensive understanding of themselves."

"It is of course a good thing to use it for an app, but to use it to commit crimes is another matter!"

"You have no evidence." Chen Anhe turned and left.

Chen Shi caught up and said, "What you said just now is evidence!"

Chen Anhe rested her cheek on her hand and looked into the distance calmly. "From ancient times to the present, the biggest puzzle of mankind is fate. Isn’t it a wonderful thing to know one’s own future? The life function allows me to make the right choice every time. I believe it will one day be popularized and become familiar to everyone. The whole society’s crime rate will also be reduced, because those criminals would have been found and nipped in the bud."

"In my opinion, that isn’t progress, but a step backward. Just like trying criminals with witchcraft!"

"Mr. Chen, you don't understand mathematics at all."

"But I understand the law. A person is killed although he had not committed a crime. Is the person who killed him a saint or a criminal?!"

Chen Anhe looked at him with a flash of light in her eyes. "Anything new will be traditionally regarded as heresy, but time will prove everything." Then she whispered in his ear, "Mr. Chen, today is the third day. 24 days later, the investigation will not be suspended, but you will give up by yourself instead!"

After that, she left with a sly smile and walked towards a door. Hai Guoyang walked out from there, hugged and kissed Chen Anhe, and the two talked in a low voice.

Chen Shi stood wide-eyed for a long time, and then went to find Xu Xiaodong. He was playing online games with Little Li. Chen Shi snatched his mobile phone and asked, "Who is Hai Guoyang's wife? Haven't you checked it?"

"Oh, let me ask now." Xu Xiaodong quickly took out his mobile phone and typed on WeChat.

Chen Shi snatched his mobile phone again, "I said before not to use this software to talk about cases!"

"Sorry..."

Chen Anhe’s boasts had already told Chen Shi the truth. The observer of humanity was here, but the natural moat that prevented Chen Shi from moving forward was the evidence.

Now, he can only hope to catch the impersonator and obtain information from him.

Later, Xu Xiaodong said, "Hai Guoyang's wife is Chen Anhe."

"That's it!" Chen Shi suddenly understood everything. It was Chen Anhe who had created the observer of humanity behind the scenes.

"Should I ask everyone to close the group chat now?"

"No... don't close it, continue to talk about the case on it!"

"Brother Chen, why did you change your mind again?"

"Just do as I tell you. Just talk about anything as you all did before."

Chen Shi suddenly thought of a plan. If Hai Guoyang does collect users’ private information through these social networking software, then he can use it to his advantage.

He looked around and asked, "Where is Yueyue?"

"Uh, she was eating over there just now!"

At the same time, Tao Yueyue was quietly tailing Hai Guoyang. Hai Guoyang was talking with the guests. Smiling, he would say a few words, and then rush to the next group of guests. Everyone praised the new software releases saying that they were great successes. Afterwards, Hai Guoyang left, seemingly to go to the bathroom. Tao Yueyue followed him into a corridor. She suddenly had a bold idea: If Hai Guoyang was the observer of humanity and she was one of the targets for obliteration that slipped through the net, how would he react when he saw her?

There was no one in the corridor. Tao Yueyue was standing in front of the window. When footsteps came from the direction of the bathroom, her heartbeat kept accelerating.

The footsteps stopped behind her, Tao Yueyue turned around nervously. Her eyes met with his and Hai Guoyang smiled. "Tao Yueyue."

"You... you know me?"

"I observe everyone."
