Chen Kainan was sitting in the living room, teaching his daughter to play the piano when he heard his wife’s call; with a helpless shout, he said, “Honey, can you get up yourself? I’m teaching our daughter the piano. She has an exam tomorrow and needs to practice the piece. Or should I have Nanny Liu help you instead?”

From the bedroom, the charming voice of his wife rang out again: “No, the water you pour tastes better, I just like the water you pour.”

Even the little girl felt her mother was being a bit too much. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chen Kainan stand up, pat her little head indulgently, and said with a smile, “Let’s call it a day for now, and I’ll go through the piece with you again tomorrow morning.”

Pouting, the little girl said, “Dad— you spoil Mom too much. I feel like you don’t love me anymore.”

“Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Daddy loves you most.”

After getting up, Chen Kainan handed his daughter over to Nanny Liu, then walked into the pantry, carefully poured a cup of 4.5-degree warm water, added two dried rose petals, a few drops of top-quality honey, and brought it to the bedroom.

With a blissful face, the woman sat up from the bed, reached out her hands to take the cup of water and said happily, “Hubby, I love you the most. Go wash your hands, then come soothe me to sleep.”

“Hmm.” Chen Kainan’s face showed not a hint of impatience; he nodded with a very gentlemanly smile and turned around to enter the en suite washroom.

After he turned on the tap, he didn’t immediately start to wash up, but seemed to remember something, took out his cell phone, unlocked it with another set of gestures, and opened an unnamed app.

Chen Kainan’s phone had two sets of unlocking gestures: one for normal functional software, while the other, hidden behind a separate set of gestures, contained his most important secrets.

However, when he entered the secret software, the screen turned completely black, displaying no image whatsoever.

Um?

At this sight, Chen Kainan’s brow furrowed instantly, and his expression turned very grave.

“What’s going on?”

Chen Kainan quickly switched between a couple of surveillance positions, but the screen remained pitch black with no image displayed.

He then checked the app’s logging information and discovered that the surveillance had lost power more than an hour ago, and up to this point, there still had been no power restored.

This…

Panic started to set in Chen Kainan’s heart, as he couldn’t help but worry about ‘Their’ safety. He was even more eager to be in the village to find out what exactly had happened.

But he couldn’t,

He had to stay at home until his wife fell asleep. He couldn’t go anywhere.

This was his duty as a husband.

What to do?

The secrets there were known only to him. Even his trusted man, Biao, had no idea, so it was impossible for him to send someone else to check the situation.

Should he make an early trip to see what was happening?

Just as Chen Kainan was becoming increasingly anxious, the surveillance image on his phone suddenly flashed, and the screen lit up again.

Everything in the surveillance returned to normal.

However, this did not make the inherently suspicious Chen Kainan relax his guard easily. He felt something was off, carefully checked all the surveillance in the yard, and paid special attention to any traces there.

To protect the safety of that place, he had specifically raised a lot of vicious dogs in the yard, all fed raw meat, very fierce, ready to attack strangers at critical points!

If any intruders were to enter, there would inevitably be signs of a struggle.

If one or two dogs were missing, or there was some other disturbance, he could be certain that someone had broken into his paradise!

Chen Kainan observed carefully for two or three minutes. The fierce dogs showed no unusual behavior, simply roaming around the yard.

These dogs had indeed been knocked out by Lin Mo, but Lin Mo controlled the dosage well, so they had already come around before the power was restored.

Now there was no sign of anything unusual.

“Is it a line fault again? The village power outage is not the first or second time; this isn’t good.”

“It looks like I’ll need to find some time to help the village repair the electrical circuit.”

Talking to himself in front of his phone screen, Chen Kainan then switched the surveillance to the basement with six iron cages covered with black cloth.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities there either, Chen Kainan finally put his mind at ease and started to wash up.

In his mind, the basement, those people locked in the iron cages, that was his true haven.

And this mansion worth over a billion was nothing more than a temporary shelter for the flesh.

Coming out of the washroom, Chen Kainan held his wife tenderly, telling her bedtime stories until he watched her slowly close her eyes and gradually fall into dreamland.

Just from this scene alone, he could be taken for the model of a man, the best husband of the century!

It was nearing midnight.

Impatient, Chen Kainan slowly drew his arm from underneath his wife’s neck, subtly moved his body, and left the bedroom without waking her.

Next, he expertly avoided all the surveillance and bodyguards in the house, jumped out from the most concealed spot of the yard wall, and after a brisk run of about fifteen minutes, he arrived at a hidden dead-end street, took out the keys from his pocket, and drove a very common GL8 minivan down the late-night roads.

Chen Kainan did not head directly to Guanghua Village but first parked the car in the parking lot of a 24-hour supermarket.

After entering the supermarket, he carefully selected a lot of fresh ingredients. After paying at the checkout, he once again sat in the car.

Relaxing music began to play,
