After a friendly exchange with all the male leads about the Zerg Queen fighting arrangements, Ye Zhizhou directly abandoned his lover, who wanted to stay with him longer, and went offline to run to the forum and fan the flames. As a result, the topic of Great God Jing Shu, which had recently just calmed down because of no new material, once again hyped up. And because the material disclosed this time was closely related to the players' interests, their enthusiasm was particularly high.

What a Big Play: Actually, I also noticed it. After eating the dishes we made ourselves from following the recipe, there were no debuffs. Yet why do Great God Jing Shu's dishes give debuffs?

Daughter-in-law I Love You: Did you guys notice yet? Great God Jing Shu's food will make you feel floaty and comfortable after eating. It'll disappear after a while though, it's just like taking drugs.

Angel Wings: Upstairs is saying nonsense! Jing Shu baby's dishes make you feel comfortable after eating it is because of her good cooking skills. You guys are jealous! Saying nonsense! Slandering people! Stealing my Jing Shu baby's recipes wasn't enough, you actually still want to slander my family's baby, are you guys still human?!

Morons should take Medicine: In the past, as I was practicing cooking, I did the wildest thing and added random monster drops to the dishes. The finished products that I made at the time also gave various poisonous and negative effects. Great God Jing Shu's dishes giving debuffs after consuming it, could it be because she also added some type of monster drop?

A Little Small Transparent Square: I bet fifty cents that it's absolutely like this! I've compared the dishes made by my friends with those made by Jing Shu. There are some subtle differences in taste but the smell was a lot different! What was more frightening was that, when I went to the Gentleman's Pavilion in real life to have dinner, although I could only eat there once because I was poor, I really felt the light floating feeling. After eating, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this feeling. I didn't realize it until the issue became so loud this time, it's simply too terrifying!

Seeing Catfights Everyday: Great god Jing Shu come out~ Come out and fight~ You're usually talking on the forum every day, why haven't you appeared these days~

Angel Wings: I went to the Gentleman's Pavilion to eat so many times and had no problem at all! You're all slandering her!

Tree Leaves on the Sandbank: You probably didn't go to the main restaurant in B city. Because I go on frequent business trips, I have tasted the dishes of Gentleman's Pavilions from all over the country. Only the main restaurant's dishes taste weird. Last time I went to the main restaurant, I just happened to see a guest slam the door and leave. It seems like the customer's sense of smell was slightly better and smelled that there was a problem with the dishes' aroma and ran away in disgust.

He He: Could it be that the Gentleman's Pavilion opened in real life by Great God Jing Shu also adds insects to the dishes? What the fuck! In the game, eating the dishes laced with insects just gives you some debuffs. In real life, eating them could lead to death!

The players were shocked, and the passionate gossip soared again, but this time, rather than excitement and curiosity for gossip, their passion was filled with anger and disbelief from their vital interests being violated. Ye Zhizhou watched the crazily rolling comments for a bit before logging out of his various side accounts and climbed into bed to sleep,

The next day, he didn't log onto the game but went to the restaurant opened by the protagonist's father. Because of his daughter's pressure on him, Jun Shujing's father had to close dozens of his chain restaurants, leaving only 2 with minimal employees. The boss who used to be too busy was now forced into being idle. He worked in his restaurant every day, accompanied by his wife and child.

When Ye Zhizhou arrived, Jun Shujing's father was holding a tablet, looking through the game forum. His brows were wrinkled and his expression was solemn.

"Boss Jun." Ye Zhizhou stood in front of the other and directly handed his business card over. "Hello, I'm Fu Ximing. I'm currently in charge of Fu Yuan. I'd like to ask you some things about your daughter, Jun Shujing." After finding out that most of the content in the plot information was inconsistent with actual facts, he thought of the Jun family who were the first to be killed by the protagonist. From just looking at the protagonist's actions of creating a side account, and then splashing dirty water on her stepmother and sister, he already suspected that the protagonist's original story of being ignored by her father, suppressed by her stepmother and bullied by her younger sister was all false.

Jun Shujing's father raised his head to look at Ye Zhizhou and then signaled to the waiter, who was walking towards them to receive Ye Zhizhou, to stay away. He took the business card and looked at it. Suddenly he sighed, "I know what you want to ask... It's my daughter's fault that your Fu Yuan has become like this. It's also my fault that I didn't teach my daughter well... Let's go and talk in the private room upstairs."

Ye Zhizhou was a bit taken aback by his excessively kind and gentle attitude. He nodded and followed him upstairs.

Jun Shujing's father's name was Jun Chenguang. He started his business from scratch and could also be considered a small legend in the catering industry of B city. This former big boss experienced the ups and downs of life, but his state of mind became increasingly peaceful. He acted like the boss of an ordinary small restaurant, not having any airs. He led Ye Zhizhou to his seat and said with slight embarrassment, "The restaurant is rather messy. I hope Mr. Fu doesn't mind. In fact, this branch will be sold after a while. I'm preparing to take my wife and child back to my hometown. My youngest daughter has a body that isn't in good health and needs to rest."

Youngest daughter? Ye Zhizhou accepted the tea that Jun Chenguang handed him and went over the information of Jun Zhenzhen, the protagonist's younger sister, in his mind. Jun Zhenzhen, who had been intelligent since childhood, was a freshman at a famous university and was two years younger than the protagonist. Because of her failure in seducing a male lead later, she was beaten to dust by the protagonist. She began to neglect her studies and got diagnosed with a mental illness, and her body rapidly deteriorated. In the original plot, Jun Zhenzhen got addicted to drugs, and in the end, died of an overdose.

He turned his teacup and deliberated for a bit before he asked, "Your youngest daughter's illness... The symptoms are, blueness of the skin, frequent loss of consciousness, mental degeneration, irrational behavior, and a lot of spoken nonsense?"

Jun Chenguang was startled and said, "How does Mr. Fu know..." His youngest daughter's illness has never been revealed to the public. When someone asked, he would use the excuse that she had a small car accident and broke her bones, so she needed to rest for several months.

"I know how to treat this sickness. To be honest, I made a few inquiries about your family before I came here. It isn't my first time seeing something like your youngest daughter's sickness." He sent out his spiritual power and made his tone gentler and friendlier. "May I examine your youngest daughter, please?"

Jun Chenguang took him to a quiet apartment complex near the restaurant. As they walked, he spoke, "Because the plan is to go back to my hometown, I've already sold off my previous properties. The place we live in currently is rented, the floor we're on is a bit high and there's no elevator. Asking Mr. Fu to not be offended."

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly expressed that he was fine with it, and he had a better impression of Jun Chenguang. Such a considerate and friendly person doesn't seem to be someone who would completely neglect his daughter.

Following Jun Chenguang to the seventh floor, just as they opened the door, they happened to see a middle-aged woman coming out of the kitchen holding a bowl of soup.

"Xiao Wei, there's a guest." Jun Chenguang greeted the middle-aged woman with this sentence and then turned to Ye Zhizhou. "This is my wife, Jin Wei."

Ye Zhizhou smiled and greeted the kind-looking Jin Wei. He carefully sized her up and silently put a big question mark on the 'vicious stepmother' in the plot information.

Jin Wei's character was the same as her appearance, very gentle and kind. She hesitated for a moment after learning of Ye Zhizhou's purpose for visiting. She entered her daughter's room first to help clean up before letting the two of them in. Worried, she asked, "Zhenzhen's condition has been getting worse recently. I'm really worried... Mr. Fu, have you really have seen a case like Zhenzhen's before?"

[Scanning complete: The insect poison had reached the heart. Three years of life remaining. Applicable pill: Universal Qingwan Pill and Perfect Dabu Pill. ]

Ye Zhizhou comforted Jin Wei with a few phrases and then looked at Jun Zhenzhen, who was lying on the bed, with lax eyes and incessant nonsensical talking. His heart sank and he hurried forward to feed her an Anshen pill. When she closed her eyes and fell asleep, he turned to face Jun Chenguang and Jin Wei. He took out the pills to show them, explained their effects in detail, and then asked if they agreed to let her take the medicine.

Jun Chenguang hesitated, but Jin Wei nodded and directly agreed. In the face of Jun Chenguang's disapproving eyes, she said with a trace of despair, "Zhenzhen is already like this... It's better to have this little bit of hope than to continue to drag on like this."

Jun Chenguang became silent when he heard this and turned around, walking out of the room. A silent acquiescence of Ye Zhizhou's pill treatment.

Fortunately, the system was as powerful as ever. Not long after the pill was swallowed, Jun Zhenzhen's complexion became much better. Jun Chenguang was surprised while Jin Wei couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry in excitement. She turned to face Ye Zhizhou and looked like she wanted to kneel down in front of him. "Thank you, thank you. The hospital was unable to find out the real cause of Zhenzhen's sickness. They just said it was because she was allergic to something, but if it was really an allergic reaction, why would she become like this... There was no news after my eldest daughter ran away from home. If anything happened to my youngest daughter, I really don't know how to continue living..."

Ye Zhizhou rushed forward to support her up and led the topic in Jun Shujing's direction. "Your eldest daughter ran away from home? Is she Jun Shujing, the boss of Gentleman's Pavilion? I've come here to talk to you exactly about this..."

"The boss of Gentleman's Pavilion?" Jin Wei was stunned and unconsciously interrupted his words, turning her head to look doubtfully at Jun Chenguang. "Chenguang, what does he mean, boss of Gentleman's Pavilion?"

Jun Chenguang looked away from her, not meeting her gaze and said in a small voice, "Xiao Wei, actually, Gentleman's Pavilion was opened by Shujing..."

"What?!" Jin Wei was surprised. She walked forward to pull his arm and frantically said, "So, Shujing has been in the same city as me? Wh-why did you lie to me all this time! I've been so worried that she wasn't doing well outside. How could you..."

Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows. The surprise and worry on Jin Wei's face were definitely genuine, so... He poked at the little mirror in his pocket and said in his mind, "Tongtian, the hole in your plot data this time, it's pretty big."

Tongtian moved its fake wings, like in the game, and decided that silence was golden.

Sorry split chapter again! But enjoy the cliff hanger

While waiting for Jun Zhenzhen to wake up, Ye Zhizhou had a good chat with Jun Chenguang and Jin Wei, learning a lot of things that weren't mentioned in the plot data at all.

The protagonist's leg disease had arisen from within the womb, but she could actually walk. It was just that the protagonist herself thought it was ugly to limp, so she demanded to use a wheelchair. Consequently, after using the wheelchair for too long, her leg muscles degenerated and gradually, she couldn't actually walk anymore.

Jin Wei had married Jun Chenguang when the protagonist was one year old. After marriage, she always raised the protagonist as her own daughter. Even if she had two children later, she still treated the protagonist, this eldest daughter who was in poor health, very wholeheartedly. And because the protagonist had poor health, she was always partial to her. Jin Wei indeed didn't allow the protagonist to enter the kitchen, but the reason wasn't the one mentioned in the original plot. It wasn't that she was afraid that the protagonist would learn how to cook and steal the family fortune, rather, it was more that she was worried Jun Shujing would hurt herself. When the protagonist was a rebellious teenager, she didn't learn from good examples and secretly started to smoke cigarettes, resulting in somehow harming her body. A lot of oil smoke is produced in the kitchen, so Jin Wei was worried that Jun Shujing would further hurt her body if she inhaled too much oil smoke. Afterwards, she had forbidden her from entering the kitchen.

As for the part where Jin Wei locked the protagonist up and didn't let her attend school to make sure she was a waste—complete nonsense. In order to let Jun Shujing have a good future, Jin Wei put all her energy into it. Every year, she would hire 8 to 10 tutors for the protagonist, but the protagonist didn't like learning. She didn't want to go to school or learn from the tutors. Later, in order to go against Jin Wei, she would deliberately seduce the male tutors, which forced Jin Wei to change all the tutors into female tutors.

"Perhaps it was true that she didn't have any aptitude for learning. Jun Shujing failed to get into a good university after taking her college entrance exams twice. Later on, she abandoned the idea altogether and stopped trying. Instead, she stayed in her room all day to play games. She even begged us to buy her that holographic game pod." Jin Wei sighed, "Zhenzhen couldn't stand seeing her so dispirited and said a couple of things to her... Later, we found an art school for Shujing. She had liked painting since she was young so we wanted her to continue her studies and become a painter. Afterwards, we would open a small gallery for her... We just didn't expect that she was so resistant to it that she actually ran away from home."

Jun Chenguang patted her hand, shook his head and sighed, "It's not your fault, these years I've been..."

"It really isn't Mom's fault." The door in the corner of the room was pushed open. The still weak Jun Zhenzhen leaned on the door frame with a cold gaze. "Dad, why do you think your businesses suddenly got worse for no reason? It was all because of Sister! Her heart has already completely rotted! On the day of the accident, I went shopping in the city's central mall and saw sister and a man come out of a women's clothing store, talking and laughing. Do you know how shocked and surprised I was then? She had walked out! Walked out with her own legs! I went up to her to persuade her to come home, but... heh, she almost killed me! It wasn't until then that I learned that she always hated Mom, Brother and me! And Dad, she thinks you're biased and ignored her, so she wants to destroy all of the businesses you're so proud of!"

Jun Chenguang and Jin Wei were shocked when they heard this. Ye Zhizhou opened the plot information, wildly flipping through it before he firmly drew a big X on it.

"Zhenzhen, you're saying that Shujing wanted to kill you?" Jin Wei got up and went over to support her. Her voice was shaking. "So y-your illness..."

"She poisoned me!" The rims of Jun Zhenzhen's eyes slowly turned red, she was both angry and felt wronged. "She said that I loved being beautiful and that I liked wearing skirts to provoke her, so she wanted to make me ugly and let me slowly become a madman everyone hated and then die painfully. Mom, you don't know how terrible her expression was back then... She's my sister. The sister I grew up with. How could she do this...?"

Jin Wei hugged her with a vacant look in her eyes, and slowly, the rims of her eyes also became red. She didn't know how to face the truth of what her youngest daughter was saying.

Jun Chenguang's complexion paled. He tightly gripped his hands together, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How could this be... How could it be Shujing... My restaurants, your illness, she... I thought that she just didn't want to rely on us anymore and wanted to strive to live by herself."

Only after a long time did the three of them calm down. Jun Zhenzhen sorted out her moodiness, looked at Ye Zhizhou and said, "I know you, the Young Master of the Fu family. My consciousness only went hazy after the poison had settled for a while, so I was able to hear a bit of the conversation between Jun Shunjing and someone else. She has a secret recipe book filled with all kinds of insect poison dishes. She was very happy at that time and said that she had already suppressed the Fu family to the point of no return, by relying on those secret recipes. I remembered that she called the other person Boss Wang. Young Master Fu, thank you for saving me. If you can, I hope that you can stop my sister from continuing to harm people. Those poisons are truly terrible things. No matter how you want to deal with her, I will help you."

Jun Chenguang's mouth moved when he heard these words but in the end, he didn't say anything to refute them. The shock that Jin Wei received today was immense and she leaned on the wall to the side, with the same vacant expression on her face, staring into space.

Ye Zhizhou took in the three people's reactions, slightly sighed in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, I won't allow her to continue to harm people." The protagonist of this world would even hurt her own family. It's really...

Another three days later, the protagonist had become notorious on the forum and became the target of everyone's insults. In the game, the protagonist's name had completely disappeared from the wealth ranking. In the real world, Gentleman's Pavilion's business experienced upheaval several times and many stores were closed. Except for the main restaurant in B city, most of the other stores that were still open had poor business. Because of the rapid expansion, after losing most of their business and the income support from the game, Gentleman's Pavilion's fundings were on the verge of collapse.

Relying on his undercover agent Qi Xing, Ye Zhizhou clearly understood the protagonist's current situation.
