Ye Chen's terrifying performance as Emperor Qin, complete with a spectral Terracotta Army, utterly shattered Tang Qiang's arrogance. Director Zhang Mou, impressed by Ye Chen's acting prowess, offered him the lead role of Emperor Qin, a lucrative offer many would covet. However, Ye Chen calmly refused, stating his desire to remain a delivery driver, much to the astonishment of everyone on set.

After saying goodbye to Tong Xiaoya, Ye Chen flew back to Xi'an.

He did not tell Su Wanyi about his return.

The aim was to surprise her.

Before returning, Ye Chen bought a gift for Su Wanyi in Xi'an.

Three hours later, the plane landed at the airport.

Ye Chen carried his luggage and walked down.

He hailed a cab at the airport entrance and headed home.

"Sir, are you on a business trip or a vacation?" the driver asked, looking at Ye Chen.

"Vacation," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

"I really envy you freelancers; you can do whatever you want."

"I deliver food," Ye Chen said truthfully.

Hearing this, the driver stopped talking.

He felt a bit disdainful of Ye Chen, thinking that a delivery guy having time to travel seemed quite idle.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, seeing the villas, he realized it was a rich area.

"Brother, is this?"

The driver asked.

"Oh, this is my home; you don't need to drive in," Ye Chen said with a calm expression.

Throughout the trip, the driver felt some contempt for Ye Chen, thinking he was idle, but did not expect him to live in such a mansion.

Reflecting on his own hard work that did not earn much monthly income.

The driver suddenly felt inferior, seeing Ye Chen with admiration instead of disdain.

Ye Chen, at such a young age, already lived in this kind of mansion, while he was much older and still lived in a tiny apartment.

The contrast between the two was truly worlds apart.

Watching Ye Chen's back, the driver suddenly had a thought.

"Is delivering food now so profitable? Maybe I should switch professions."

Ye Chen returned home but did not see Su Wanyi.

He guessed she must be busy at the company again.

But he did not call Su Wanyi, to avoid disturbing her.

If she knew he was back, she surely wouldn't focus on work.

Just in time, an order came in, and since he had nothing to do.

Ye Chen accepted the order and left home.

He rode his e-bike to the restaurant to pick up the food and then drove to the order's address.

Ye Chen walked into the neighborhood but could not enter the building's entrance.

Helpless, he could only call the customer, but there was no answer.

Ye Chen called again, still no answer.

"Strange, why is there no answer?" Ye Chen thought.

He did not give up and called the number once more.

This time, someone finally answered.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" It was a man answering the call.

The other party seemed somewhat impatient.

"I'm the food delivery guy; please open the building door for me to enter," Ye Chen said.

"You must have dialed the wrong number; I didn't order any food,"

The man hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

Ye Chen's hearing was sharper than most people, he could hear a girl crying on the other end.

Additionally, Ye Chen glanced at the address, which was definitely 601 Ms. Liu in building 1.

He felt something wasn't quite right.

Ye Chen had an idea and decided to clear things up.

"Hello, the contact number left is yours and the address is your home. If the delivery is not made on time, my performance bonus will be affected. This is not my issue, so I shouldn't bear this, unless you personally cancel the order."

The man on the phone hesitated, he was also unsure about the order company's rules.

"Okay, then I will see about canceling."

"But there's one more thing I need to mention to you."

"What thing, why are you so troublesome?" The other party was also somewhat impatient.

"The order also instructed me to buy some laundry detergent and deliver it along with the food upstairs, and I would be paid for it. I've already bought the detergent, and if you say no now, who should I ask for payment?" Ye Chen said.

"What, do delivery guys now shop for customers?"

The man seemed somewhat disbelieving.

"Shopping is not our responsibility, but your wife insisted that if I didn't help her buy it, she would give me a bad rating, so I complied. But the problem is, the item has been bought, shouldn't you transfer the money to me?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the man hesitated, clearly wanting to avoid escalating the matter, which might lead to trouble.

"Of course, if you don't pay me, that's fine; I can call the police to handle this matter and see who should bear these losses," Ye Chen remarked bluntly.

"What exactly do you want, just tell me," the man said with a frown.

"I will send the detergent up, and you pay me, then we clear the matter," Ye Chen said calmly.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the man realized that was the only solution.

"Fine, come to 601, but don't come inside, I will hand you the money."

After hanging up, the man was furious.

He did not expect to encounter such a difficult delivery guy.

After hanging up, Ye Chen smiled; his guess was correct, there was something going on upstairs.

He hadn't spoken to this Ms. Liu before, and the order didn't mention buying detergent or anything similar.

If what the man said was true and the Ms. Liu in the order was his wife, how could she not know about it?

The only possibility was that there was something suspicious about the man's identity.

Ye Chen had a bad feeling.

However, there was still one thing to do, which was to buy a bottle of laundry detergent from a nearby store.

Ye Chen bought the detergent and went upstairs.

But Ye Chen didn't go directly to the sixth floor; first, he observed the building's room numbers.

How could Ye Chen trust the words of a lying man? He remained cautious.

He didn't rush to the sixth floor, knowing since the man agreed to meet, he dared not take any action, so Ms. Liu was temporarily safe.

He quietly went upstairs and saw an odd sight; on this floor, the positions of the room numbers 601 and 602 were reversed compared to other floors.

This made Ye Chen's feelings stronger; he was now sure that Ms. Liu was in danger.

Otherwise, who would swap door numbers for no reason?

Recalling the crying girl's voice he heard earlier further reinforced his suspicion.

He could confirm that the previous room numbers and other floors were consistent.

Only after receiving Ye Chen's call did this supposed husband of Ms. Liu secretly change the room numbers.

The purpose was to observe in secret and see who Ye Chen was, and what he wanted.
