"Investigate me? I haven't done anything, nor do I have any connections with you, why would your dad investigate me? Or is it a tradition in your family to enjoy investigating people?"

Tang Rao probably saw it too, there are truly many people in the Rao Family, so if it's about investigating, it would be investigating everyone. With so many people, the Family Head would have to be bored to what degree to do such things?

"Don't worry about it, you just need to meet my dad, let him ask you some questions, and remember: the more you say, the more mistakes you'll make. Try to speak less and absolutely don't blabber!"

What is Rao Linger even talking about here? It's clearly her who came to inform Tang Rao that tonight her dad wants to see him, and now she's warning Tang Rao not to say anything out of line. What's there left to say after this? Might as well not let him go.

If he lies, he offends the elders; if he tells the truth, he offends Rao Linger. Anyway, today seems like they're trying to make Tang Rao an outsider, and now he's realized the Rao Family's intentions.

"I can't guarantee that I won't say anything wrong. If you're worried I'll be indiscreet, don't let me go. But let me just say, if I go and mess it up, don't blame me."

Anyway, the ugly words are spoken beforehand. Tang Rao knows very well that reasoning with women never works, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, he's willing to lay cards on the table with Rao Linger at first.

"Don't talk to me like that, it's useless anyway. With the time we have, why not think about how to explain things to my dad!"

After saying this, she left without even a goodbye.

"Explain? Explain what exactly!"

Shouting at the door doesn't help Tang Rao at all. After all the shouting, he still has to face reality.

But now, after being in the Rao Family for so long, he still doesn't know what Rao Linger's real dad does or the Rao Family's exact position in Central Island. Why does the Inspection Chief act like a lapdog before Rao Linger and Zhou Zhou?

Isn't Central Island also able to use the Illusion City?

Tang Rao suddenly remembered that Zhang Wang had already expanded Illusion City's business here. That means Illusion City has blossomed everywhere; wherever there are people, it is a must-have presence.

He opened Illusion City, and Yan Wei happened to be online, not even needing to press Yan Wei a notification sound.

"Hurry up and find out what the Rao Family in Central Island does. I've been dragged to be a little princess's follower, quickly investigate and tell me. I don't want to always be a little girl's follower, it's embarrassing."

Almost shouting at Yan Wei, Tang Rao said, who's busy with something else. Hearing the lion's roar, the parts in his hand almost fell and broke.

"Central Island's Rao Family? How did you get involved with them? Weren't you on North Island a few days ago?"

Yan Wei was just a bit busy these last couple of days, and Tang Rao had already made such a big blunder in the Divine Realm. Can this guy let him relax just a bit?

"I came for an academic exchange, and before it started I accidentally entered a forest, then suddenly saw two women, one was standing guard, while the other was soaking in a hot spring. After being discovered, they insisted I take responsibility, and then, well, I ended up here!"

Tang Rao succinctly explained the whole story, and over there, Yan Wei was already laughing hysterically.

"I see! But you're really bold, daring to look at the little princesses from both families. Luckily, this time it only ended with you being a follower instead of having your eyes gouged out. Your ancestors must've done some good deeds."

Previously, Tang Rao had no business dealings with Central Island, so Yan Wei wasn't entirely clear about the situation there. But his machinery was very advanced; he merely needed to extract chat records from those using Illusion City on Central Island and perform big data analysis, and the results were soon printed out.

"Just tell me their status first. Damn it, I'm so nervous now; her dad said he wants to investigate me tonight, and I still don't know anything about his character, temper, or preferences!"

Tang Rao didn't know a lot, and he wanted to know a lot, asking Yan Wei this and that. Yan Wei rolled his eyes and directly sent an electronic file to Tang Rao's Illusion City account.

"Besides the Rao Family, I've also checked the Zhou Family for you. This data is very precious, you'd better memorize it all, otherwise I'm afraid neither of those old guys is someone you can handle."

Yan Wei's output is always the best; having Yan Wei's invincible Golden Finger around, Tang Rao has never suffered a loss in terms of information. Reviewing several pages of summarized content, Tang Rao even wanted to lift Yan Wei high.

"Rao Linger's real dad likes sweet foods, and her grandfather can't live without spicy foods?"

How did Yan Wei analyze such private preferences?

After reading this stack of materials, he felt like he had become an All-knowing of Central Island's family forces. No matter what question someone asks, he seemed to always have a perfect solution.

"Buddy, thanks a lot!"

Between Tang Rao and Yan Wei, there was no need to say thank you, but sometimes Tang Rao couldn't help but express it. Otherwise, he would feel like he owed Yan Wei more and more.

In the evening, Tang Rao stood outside a door made of Purple Crystal; outside was him waiting to be summoned, inside the Purple Crystal door was the high-ranking Family Head of the Rao Family, also Rao Linger's real dad.

By rights, when Rao Linger's grandfather was alive, he was the Family Head. Yet, he invested his time entirely in seeking delicious food, showing no interest in authority whatsoever.

When he was quite young, Linger's grandfather stepped aside, insisting her real dad take the Family Head position and lead the Rao Family to a new life.

Thus, it led to the occurrence where the father holds high office while the grandfather is still alive.

"Tang Rao, my dad is done, he's waiting for you inside now. Remember what I told you: say as little as possible, and if I find out you said something to annoy my dad or turn him against me, I'll make sure you pay!"

Rao Linger's grimacing face didn't scare Tang Rao at all; instead, it gave him a sense of watching a comedy.

"I don't even know what I should say later, the one who should be worried about being in trouble is probably you, not me, right?"

Tang Rao gave Rao Linger a bright smile, then enthusiastically walked through the Purple Crystal door.

"Sir, it's our first meeting. Please guide me well."

Upon entering, the first thing Tang Rao did was bow to Rao Linger's dad before raising his head to meet Rao Linger's father's eyes.
