American Comics: BOSS Invasion

After their last meeting, Qi Shan wasn't as interested in Yang Tao as he was in the all-knowing Aunt Liu.

So, while Alice was handling the asset matters, Qi Shan wasn't idle either. He used his own methods to approach Aunt Liu, and without her noticing, he even read through her short-term memory.

He was quite surprised by what he found. The aunt's memory was incredibly complete. Although she herself might have forgotten, the memories extracted from her mind recorded every detail meticulously, as if this world were truly real.

The majority of her memories were without any issues, but some differences emerged concerning himself.

Qi Shan had never interacted with Aunt Liu, and she had never met him, yet she inexplicably introduced him to Yang Tao.

If this wasn't the Infinite Space's doing, Qi Shan would eat the entire Great Light Sphere.

But that was all. Qi Shan only gathered some information and didn't plan to harm Aunt Liu. However, coincidentally, Aunt Liu suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage the next day.

Because of this, Qi Shan even reconstructed her physical condition and discovered that it was indeed a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, without any prior signs.

This was interesting.

Could it be that this world possessed its own consciousness, helping him clean up loose ends, or was it just a simple accident?

Regardless, he couldn't miss the opportunity!

Aunt Liu's death also gave the two of them a chance to meet.

After making eye contact, Qi Shan naturally walked over and greeted, "Miss Yang, you're here too! And this is?"

"Oh, this is my mom!"

Qi Shan nodded to Xue Sumei, "Auntie, hello! I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Yang once before!"

"Little Qi, right! What's your relationship with Old Liu?" Xue Sumei sized up Qi Shan, comparing the man before her with her daughter's description.

She found that apart from his slightly youthful appearance, he met all her requirements for a son-in-law: tall, strong, and spirited. Wasn't that great?

I think this kid is good. Should I give them another chance to connect?

Xue Sumei gave Yang Tao a look, and Yang Tao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Their movements were subtle, and Qi Shan pretended not to notice, replying with a smile, "Actually, there's no real relationship. I just live in the same neighborhood as Aunt Liu and met her by chance. She was always enthusiastic about introducing me to someone, so that's how everything happened!"

Xue Sumei nodded, "Old Liu was indeed a warm-hearted person. It's a pity she's gone so suddenly!"

Qi Shan didn't say much. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two women, he excused himself and left.

Xue Sumei watched Qi Shan's back and said, "I think that young man is quite polite. How could he be as terrible as you said? Did you deliberately ruin the blind date again out of spite?"

Yang Tao was about to collapse, replying helplessly, "It's nothing like that. We just didn't feel a connection. Alright, alright. You never said much about my previous blind dates, why are you being so long-winded today? Let's hurry, we still have things to do today.

It's already past noon. When we get back, we need to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Aren't my sister and brother-in-law coming over tonight? We're already late enough. Look, there aren't many cars left in the parking lot!"

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly!"

The mother and daughter walked hand in hand to the parking lot and got into a Volkswagen sedan. After Yang Tao fastened her seatbelt and turned the key, the battery suddenly exploded with a bang, and a cloud of white smoke billowed out.

The two were startled and quickly got out of the car.

They watched the white smoke dissipate in the wind, and after a long while, Yang Tao dared to cautiously approach.

One look, and she was instantly on the verge of tears. The connection interface of the engine battery was burnt to a crisp, and it was still occasionally sparking.

"We're done for. This is a rental car, what do we do?"

Xue Sumei said, "This should be considered an accident, right? Should we call the rental company and have the insurance company handle it?"

"I'm worried about my deposit and this afternoon's time. I finally got a day off, and I didn't even get to sleep in. This afternoon, I'll have to spend it dealing with all sorts of troublesome things!"

Yang Tao took out her phone and flipped through it, suddenly exclaiming, "Oh no, my phone bill is overdue!"

Xue Sumei said, "My phone can make calls, but I don't have the rental company's number!"

Yang Tao anxiously said, "What should we do then!"

At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped beside them. The window rolled down, and Qi Shan curiously poked his head out, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Upon seeing Qi Shan, Xue Sumei exclaimed in delight, "Little Qi, you've come at the right time! Quickly help Auntie think of a solution. Yang Tao's phone is dead, and the rental car is broken down. This cemetery isn't close to the city, and there's nowhere to hail a taxi. What do we do now!"

"Mom, it's so hot, you'll get heatstroke. Why don't you go instead?" Yang Tao said.

"What's the use of me going? It's not my rental car, you have to go yourself!"

Xue Sumei glared.

What's the use of me going? Are you going on a blind date or am I?

What's the real purpose? Can't you figure it out?

Yang Tao instantly understood, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Qi!"

"If Auntie is just worried, that's easy to solve!"

Qi Shan smiled, took out his phone, made a quick call, and hung up.

Two minutes later, a young man in a suit ran over from the cemetery.

"Auntie, this is Xiao Ma, my personal assistant. I had him stay at Aunt Liu's place to help with some follow-up matters. He'll have to stay here for a while, so let's just have him take care of the driving!"

Xue Sumei was immediately tempted, "Is that appropriate?"

"No problem, don't worry!"

Qi Shan then said to Yang Tao, "Regarding unexpected car accidents during rentals, I encountered one in Hong Kong before, so I'm relatively familiar with the procedures and claims. I'll go with you later, maybe I can help!"

Yang Tao quickly thanked him, "Really? That's great, thank you so much, I was just worrying about this!"

Since things had been said to this extent, the two no longer declined, thanked the tool-man Xiao Ma, and got into Qi Shan's car.
