Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Testing the Golden Finger, Kitchen Conversation

After a series of sighs from the doctors, Ye Xinghui and his family of three left the hospital.As they were leaving the hospital room, Ye Xinghui intentionally tested his newfound ability in his right eye on others.Ye Xinghui guessed that the reason why he could see his parents' information and life history with his right eye must be due to that monocle.The only disappointment for Ye Xinghui was that he could only see the past, not the future.Because of the monocle's function and the fact that the original owner of this eye was the All-Knowing God, Ye Xinghui named this golden finger [All-Knowing Eye].Now the All-Knowing Eye has fused with Ye Xinghui's eye, and if he wants to take it out, he'll probably have to gouge his eye out.While the name All-Knowing Eye sounds impressive, Ye Xinghui was somewhat disappointed when he tried to scan others with it.The progress bar that appeared above his parents' heads did indeed appear, but it only loaded up to less than a third and stopped.Some even loaded less than a tenth, and the colors were also different. He could only see blue on his parents, but on other people, he could see green in addition to blue.Because the loading level was too low, he couldn't see any of these people's information.For example, with the few doctors earlier, Ye Xinghui could only see their names if their progress bar reached a third....In the car on the way home, Ye Xinghui cursed inwardly,"What a crappy god! This monocle's function is garbage. I thought it was some kind of treasure!"Fortunately, in addition to this monocle that has fused with his right eye, Ye Xinghui still has another golden finger - the small TV that the god inserted into his body before.Naturally, he couldn't take it out in the car. If it was something that anyone could see, it would be difficult to explain if his mother sitting beside him saw it!...Although Ye Xinghui knew that the All-Knowing Eye's function was crappy, he still couldn't help but open the car window and constantly scan the pedestrians around him.But no matter how hard Ye Xinghui looked, the progress bars above these pedestrians' heads were still less than 10%, and some were even less than 1%.Earlier in the hospital, the doctors' progress bars could reach a third, but now, not even one person outside had more than a tenth.At this moment, Ye Xinghui started thinking about the mechanism of using the All-Knowing Eye."Could it be that the progress bar represents the closeness or affinity between this person and myself?""If that's really the case, won't I have to increase my affinity with someone if I want to see their information?"After much deliberation, Ye Xinghui decided that it would be more reliable to test it out on some people....A few minutes later, Ye Chen finally drove into a residential complex named Celebrity Garden.The complex wasn't a luxury villa area but a rather ordinary apartment complex.Having inherited some memories from the previous Ye Xinghui, Ye Xinghui had a fairly good understanding of their family's financial situation.Ye Chen ran a supermarket in the complex, and his business was decent. As for Su Xi, she...

The four-member family, including Ye Xinghui, his brother Ye Xingchen, and their parents, lived upstairs of the storefront where the supermarket was located. Ye Xinghui's sister, Ye Lengyue, lived outside due to her work.As Ye Chen parked the car and got off, someone greeted him."Ye Chen, why is your supermarket closed?""Oh, it's because our Xinghui is in the hospital!" Ye Chen smiled and replied."Is that so?" The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xinghui and joked, "I see nothing wrong with Xinghui! I bet he's just pretending to be sick to avoid school! Nowadays, kids will think of any way to avoid studying!"Upon hearing the man's words, Ye Chen only smiled and didn't say anything.On their way home, many residents of the neighborhood also greeted Ye Chen and Su Xi.If it weren't for Ye Xinghui's All-Knowing Eye, which revealed the truth about his parents, it would be hard to imagine that these two powerful individuals were running a supermarket here and interacting so intimately with their neighbors....After returning home, Su Xi once again inquired about Ye Xinghui's well-being.Satisfied that her son seemed fine, Su Xi went to the kitchen to cook dinner.With Su Xi busy in the kitchen, Ye Xinghui finally had some time to himself.After greeting Su Xi, he went back to his room.Ye Xinghui's room was not large, but it was adorned with posters of table tennis players.In Ye Xinghui's memories, the original owner of his body had a great love for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Naturally, he played table tennis regularly and was even a member of the school team.After carefully examining his room, Ye Xinghui lay down on the bed to study his other golden finger, the small TV.Ever since waking up, Ye Xinghui had felt a small TV connected to his soul. With a thought, he could summon it at any time."My golden finger... come out!"With a thought, a small TV slightly larger than the palm of his hand appeared in front of Ye Xinghui.Looking at the floating TV, Ye Xinghui muttered to himself, "It's here indeed!"Then, Ye Xinghui turned on the TV.The screen lit up, showing static and snowflakes."Just this? Snowflakes? What about the promised excellent signal? Does this TV even have the basic function of watching TV?"Seeing the screen filled with static and snowflakes, Ye Xinghui couldn't help but sigh....Meanwhile, in the kitchen.Ye Chen was chopping ribs with a kitchen knife, while Su Xi was picking beans."Do you know who did this to Xinghui?" Su Xi asked as she picked the beans."Ouroboros, a killer organization. They usually don't leave any traces when they target someone, but this time... they left the Ouroboros symbol on Xinghui's neck, probably as a message for me. As for who hired Ouroboros... it should be someone from Blackwater," Ye Chen said, looking at Su Xi.Su Xi sighed bitterly and said, "It should also be the Su family.""Sigh..." Ye Chen sighed and said, "The Su family..."Ye Chen felt troubled. Actually, he could have destroyed the Su family ten years ago, but he refrained from doing so because of Su Xi.But if this incident was indeed carried out by the Su family, Ye Chen would not hesitate to take action."If you're going to investigate this, take me with you. Before we go to Blackwater, we'll go to the Su family first. I want to minimize the danger they pose to Xinghui and the others," Su Xi said solemnly, her voice filled with concern for her children's safety."What do you mean?" Ye Chen looked puzzled, not understanding what Su Xi was implying."I'm going to sign a contract with the Su family. If I die, my shares will be transferred to my father, the current head of the Su family, Su Lie," Su Xi explained.
