Zhen Liyue was thrilled: she was proud that the grandson who she adores has grown up to be an independent, bright, and mature young man: as if the incident with Li Honglie has changed him to a different and better person.

She was having a glorious time chatting with the guests when a security man ran to her and whispered something into her ear, soon her face flipped like a book.

It has only been a few minutes since she left her grandson alone with that cousin of his, and one of them has already caused trouble.

Zhen Liyue rushed back to where she just came from and only see Xie Yanzi crying in her mother's arms about her face being disfigured. Xie Feihao was not at the scene.

"Look what Xie Feihao did!" Xie Yangzi's mother shook her voice, her face darkens, "You should have disowned this misbehaved child a long time ago!" She was honestly worried about her daughter and worried if the scars will stay.

While Zhang Liyue was surprised and to try to fix this mess, Xie Feihao has already left the building minutes ago and skipped his conversation with her.

The party came to an end earlier than anyone had expected.

Since I did leave a scar on that girl's face, I probably won't get away with it. So what did I do? Runaway. I don't start a fight that I can't finish, and thanks to that party 'my' parents are probably going to disown me.

I wasn't sad or disappointed, they didn't even know I existed- until probably after that... Getting disowned wasn't the problem, losing my positive titles won't do anything either, the problem is about the hacker that Li Honglie told me about. I wonder how they met.

According to Li Honglie, the workplace of this mysterious hacker is in this specific cafe, and he's also known as Alpha. Now I pay attention to it there's nothing out of the ordinary except the small camera in the orange letter 'O' of the sign, it was hidden well, no one would've noticed unless they look really hard or look for specifically for a camera.

The door swung open with a ding, Li Honglie pushed the door and drags me in the shop, then push me down on a seat facing a guy with short black hair, busy scrolling his phone.

"So this is the guy?" He seems judgy- and familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

He checks me up and down. His behavior is familiar too, like the asshole that originally throws paper balls at me and put a dead bird in my desk during middle school. The more I thought about it the more pissed I get.

He took a heavy sigh, "I don't like him, the deal's over." He waves his hand to shoo us away.

"What!?" Nothing was going to Li Honglie's expectations, "You can't just call us off just like-"

"When did you stop dying your hair blond?" I blurted out without thinking, but it seems like the comment has shocked him a bit.

Li Honglie was sitting next to me and whispered under her breath, "He has never dyed his hair-"

"Quiet." I shut her off.

Since Huang Xiaoyue knows information from the previous world I've been, I'm predicting 'this' guy, is the same.

I originally told this bastard to stop changing algorithms on the web and here he is, making a name for himself.

"Alpha is it?" I feel like I want to commit arson and will likely burn this building down if 'he' doesn't give me a proper answer.

"Yes?" He was a bit shocked about my behavior, but tries to keep a cool image of himself.

"And here I was expecting someone professional and you find me this piece of video addicted garbage?" I asked Li Honglie, pointing at Raven.

"Hey! Who are you calling garbage?" He starts to raise his voice.

"Have you beaten the boss on the 37th floor of Battle Tower Z yet?" I asked.

"I'll tell you here that I have beaten it a long time ago!" His face smirked. There was his usual face of bragging around other people who plays the same game like him, and soon there will be a face of realization that he's at wrong.

"Wait, that game doesn't exist here..."

"You don't say," I crossed my arms, "and please bring back your blond hair, I can't get used to your dark hair and nerdy looks."

"Xie Feihao?" He asks.

I nodded.

"Are you crossdressing?"

"Is that the only part you thought was strange? I knew you're a playboy and a game addict, but I never know you were an idiot who never pays attention to the important details."

"Excuse me but what's going on here?" Li Honglie interrupts.

"Yang Li, also known to you as Alpha, is the same guy I learned how to do minor hacking." I tilt my head slightly, "It seems you don't have much information: he might seem like an absolute genius when it comes to hacking and videogames, but he's absolute trash when it comes to school and understanding women."

"What do you mean?" Yang Li stands up from his chair, "I'm great at that!"

"Tell me what does the letter i in square root means."

"I'm good at everything else but that."

"Tell me what's the name of your fourth girlfriend."

He stood there in silence, then continues, "I'm good at everything but those two things."

"Tell me why did you cover an egg with salt when you tried to cook."

"The cap just fell off okay?"

"Then how did you get confused between sugar and salt?"

"Haohao, I hate you." He looks like he's about to cry.

"Stop calling my baby name to try to receive mercy."

I peak at the window, there were few guys with black suits standing outside, circling a car. I recognize the person inside it, it was the previous Xie Feihao's mother.

I took out a sheet of paper, rip off the corner, and wrote my phone number, "Contact me later, meet in the same location tomorrow."

I gave him a small piece of paper and left the building.
