Until the banquet ended, Lin Tai was still in a daze.
"System, tell me honestly, are those two transmigrators, or do they have systems, or are they reborn?" Lin Tai stood by the window, feeling the evening breeze as he tried to organize his thoughts.
[Rest assured, host. They are definitely not transmigrators. There can only be one system per world, and this world has only me, the Idle Fish System, bound to the host. Trust me, I will not be fickle.]
"Reborn then? Could they be reborn?" Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan's behavior was too suspicious, unlike their original style.
[Rest assured, the heavenly way of this world forbids rebirth. Host's chance is only because of this system's protection.]
"So what's going on? I, the Vicious Male Side Character, am stealing the male lead's spotlight. What is this?" Lin Tai was very upset—these days, being a Vicious Male Side Character was so hard.
[This system does not know.]
"Heh, so you really are just an Idle Fish who knows nothing." Lin Tai was speechless.
In his previous life, the Idle Fish System only rewarded him with the world's top acting skills, medical skills, martial arts, culinary skills, financial knowledge…
But on plot questions, it knew nothing, perfectly embodying Idle Fish.
"Could it be because of Father?"
As everyone guessed, Xia Shihan's drastic change might be because Lin Zhentian paid a huge price.
But what about Xiao Yuxuan?
Did Lin Zhentian pay a huge price just to make Lin Tai happy on his birthday?
"Yes, it should be because of Father." Lin Tai could think of no other reason.
With that in mind, Lin Tai regained courage and prepared for the next plot.
As for those two suddenly changed heroines, Lin Tai hoped they truly acted out of respect for Lin Zhentian; otherwise, this joke was huge.
Thinking of the upcoming plot, Lin Tai frowned.
According to the original Lin Family banquet plot, Lin Tai would be slapped down by Ye Bai twice and accidentally reveal the jade pendant that Lin Zhentian had given him since childhood.
This jade pendant caught the male lead Ye Bai's attention.
It was an extremely important clue in The Emperor's Return. Ye Bai clearly remembered that when he was kidnapped as a child, the kidnappers all wore the same kind of jade pendant.
It was a hatred he would never forget and also a clue.
To investigate, Ye Bai sent Hecate, the head of his assassin organization, to secretly investigate.
Hecate was also a heroine, the world's second-ranked assassin, only ranked below Ye Bai. She created the world's top assassin organization for Ye Bai and helped him eliminate many business rivals.
She was the reason Ye Bai flourished abr
If the jade pendant was not important, Ye Bai wouldn't have sent her undercover next to Lin Tai.
Even the one who shot Lin Tai in the warehouse from behind was Hecate.
Now that Ye Bai hadn't seen the pendant on Lin Tai, would he send Hecate undercover again?
Lin Tai scratched his head angrily. A slight plot change and he had no idea how to cooperate anymore!
Hecate was very important in Lin Tai's plot.
When Lin Tai schemed against Ye Bai, Hecate's leaks helped Ye Bai escape trouble.
What now?
Lin Tai thought for a long time with no clue, so he could only watch and wait.
On the brightly lit street, Ye Bai's face was as dark as water.
"Hecate!" Ye Bai growled low. In the darkness, a woman appeared behind him.
She was Ye Bai's shadow, doing his dirty work.
"Go kill someone for me!" Ye Bai's face twitched, eyes full of anger.
"Who?" Hecate's voice was cold and ruthless, a sharp knife.
"Lin Tai. I want him dead!" Ye Bai couldn't control his anger thinking of the humiliation tonight.
He wanted Lin Tai dead!
Although he didn't know why Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan suddenly changed, it didn't matter.
They were acting strangely nice to Lin Tai, but if Lin Tai died, they would be normal again.
Ye Bai believed it was because of Lin Zhentian that the two women's attitudes changed so much.
"Satan, I found some information about your identity. You might be interested." Hecate didn't reply but showed some photos.
"What's this?" Ye Bai took the photos. Memories flooded in.
"It's them!" Ye Bai clenched his teeth. The jade pendant was unforgettable—it was worn by the kidnappers who took his family.
"These were taken from Lin Tai." Hecate continued.
"Don't kill him yet. Go undercover next to him and secretly investigate the jade pendant's origin. I want to know everything!" Ye Bai regained his composure at the sight of the pendant.
"Yes." Hecate replied.
"By the way, why do you have these photos?" Ye Bai's gaze was surprised on Hecate. He didn't remember telling her to investigate Lin Tai.
"Satan is my master. Your business is mine." Hecate said coldly, her eyes without emotion.
"Good job. When you find out the truth, I'll let you be my woman." Ye Bai smiled lightly at Hecate. He knew she liked him.
He was also quite interested in her.
Hecate was one of the world's strongest assassins. If he hadn't accidentally plotted against her, she might have been the world's number one assassin.
Hecate was also a stunning Western beauty with top-tier figure due to special training, a walking poison men couldn't resist.
He had been tempted many times but held back because she was his subordinate, and a romantic relationship would complicate things.
So he restrained himself.
Now, as long as Hecate uncovered the truth, he would have no more worries and would reward her best.
Ye Bai didn't notice a flicker of contempt and killing intent in Hecate's eyes as he turned, soon hidden again.
