Chapter 98: The Witness

After seeing off the delivery person, Liu Di closed the door. The moment it shut, all the lights turned on, and every machine instantly sprang back to life. The cacophony of sounds resembled a fairy tale world suddenly coming to life. 

Liu Di walked back to the center of the area and threw himself onto the soft bed, feeling utterly comfortable. The overhead light suddenly went out, and a device started playing soft music. A modified projector on a nearby shelf cast a blue light. It displayed a starry sky, focusing on a nebula in the universe:

"Andromeda 722, North Autumn 0-3-1-11"

This was the work of a student who dreamed of exploring the universe. Each star shimmered and flickered like water ripples, with the occasional meteor streaking across. This small section of the "Experiment Graveyard" had become a miniature reflection of a corner of the universe.

Liu Di lay under the starry sky, gazing like a master surveying his domain. "Heh, very comfortable," he murmured, flipping over.

The robotic puppy approached the bed, guided by the holographic projection. The three-dimensional image now displayed the interior of the "Experiment Graveyard." The blue spherical space was filled with shelves resembling blue crystal blocks.

Liu Di gently waved his hand, and several rows of shelves within the "Graveyard" floated up.

"Motong, let's enlarge the sun simulator here and create a small plot of farmland. I want to test growing crops without sunlight."

"Understood."

"Over here, we need to set up two automated production lines, specifically for improving and refining the experimental products in the graveyard."

"Understood."

"This area will be converted into a living space, including beds, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a dining area."

"Understood."

"In addition, install surveillance cameras and infrared alarms around the perimeter of the graveyard. All windows should be equipped with hidden curtains, and all doors and windows should be reinforced with a security system."

"Understood."

"Also, develop bionic sonar material and apply it to the entire graveyard. I want this place to disappear from all radars!"

"Understood."

"And finally, erase all information about the graveyard from the internet. I want this place to be invisible online as well."

"Understood."

"After my initial screening," Motong continued, "there are a total of 10,560 experimental rejects here, of which 1,100 have infinite potential value after being perfected."

Liu Di nodded slightly. "China has never lacked talent; it only lacks discovery, encouragement, and support!"

"Motong, register an investment company, and in the name of that company, provide each of these 1,100 students with 100,000 yuan in support funds."

"Encourage them to continue researching and inventing!"

"If they achieve good scientific results, the company can offer various forms of support, including investment, acquisition, or operation."

Liu Di paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the company's name... let's call it 'The Witness'!"

"Understood."

After planning everything out, Liu Di let out a light breath, leaned back against the bed's headboard, and surveyed the various devices in the room with a smile. Simulated sunlight, a starry sky, a network, and electricity—everything was in place, creating what felt like an independent world!

He gently patted the nearby, slightly dazed Wangwang the dog and softly said, "This is just the beginning!"

The next morning, in the guest hall of the Yan family estate, everyone was present: the old master Yan, Yan Kaikai, Yan Xinxin, Yan Qingwen, and the eldest sister, Yan Yiwen.

The old master's face was dark as he pointed to a stack of documents on the table. "Ouyang Fengyu has been married into our Yan family for so many years, and yet no one noticed what kind of evil man he was?"

The room fell into a tense silence.

The old master turned slightly, looking at Yan Yiwen, whose shoulder was bandaged, and asked in a low voice, "Yiwen, you shared a bed with him. Did you not notice anything either?"

Yan Yiwen remained expressionless, only shaking her head slightly.

"Sigh..."

The old master let out a heavy sigh. "If it weren't for Liu Di, our entire Yan family would have remained in the dark, probably forever!"

"I, Yan Hongxin, have worked hard all my life, and in the end, this family business almost fell into the hands of Ouyang Fengyu!"

"Our Yan family might have ended up ruined!"

Upon hearing Liu Di's name, Yan Qingwen's heart skipped a beat. She slowly flipped through the documents in front of her—records of all Ouyang Fengyu's crimes. Two of them struck her the most:

The first was that Ouyang Fengyu had considered kidnapping her to seize control of the family.

The second was that Ouyang Fengyu had planned to kill Liu Di.

Such madness!

Liu Di had thwarted his plans...

He had disrupted the "death trap" Ouyang Fengyu had set up in her office.

The more Yan Qingwen thought about it, the more guilty she felt!

The "death trap" was nothing other than the three vases that Liu Di had "accidentally" broken.

And yet...

She had blamed him, even wanted him to pay for the damages...

Liu Di, a man of such exceptional talent...

He had endured injustice to protect the Yan family and her, shielding them from harm!

"Now I understand!"

The old master closed his eyes in pain. "Liu Di is so outstanding, possessing nearly limitless abilities. Now I understand... why he stayed with our Yan family!"

"Liking Wenwen... being a driver..."

"None of it was true!"

"He discovered Ouyang Fengyu's plot early on!"

"He stayed out of kindness, to protect us!"

Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin felt a lump in their throats, on the verge of tears.

Over the past few days, they had come to realize Liu Di's abilities and goodness, feeling increasingly guilty for their impulsive behavior.

When they found out that Liu Di was worth billions, they felt a twinge of guilt.

When they discovered that Liu Di was the legendary singer Emperor Yi, they felt incredibly guilty.

When they learned that Liu Di had stayed with the Yan family to protect them and their sister, their guilt was overwhelming!

"Father, what do we do now?" Yan Kaikai asked, her voice choked with emotion.

"What do we do?"

The old master rubbed his temples vigorously. "What else can we do? Liu Di hasn't returned for two days now. It's clear that he doesn't want anything more to do with the Yan family!"

"In his words, he's done his duty and has nothing to regret!"

"But we, the Yan family, must not fall short on this count!"

After a moment of contemplation, the old master declared solemnly, "We must do everything possible to find Liu Di!"

"As soon as we know where he is, the whole family will go together, and we will offer him our most sincere thanks!"

"We must express our gratitude to Mr. Liu for saving our lives and thank him for not abandoning us!"
