June 1st arrived. Li Shuyun, finding the domestic holidays novel, strongly requested the day off for Children’s Day. And so, at the start of the fourth week, he successfully obtained a happy “third day of vacation.”

As for what he planned to do with his holiday? Li Shuyun smiled cheerfully at the butler and said, “Uncle Zhao, I have plans with my friend at the library today. You don’t need to prepare lunch or dinner for me.”

In the previous three weeks, the butler would never have questioned this request to go out.

But today? The butler sized Li Shuyun up and down sternly before asking in a deep voice, “Young Master, will you be staying properly in the library for the entire day today?”

Li Shuyun paused, pursing his lips slightly before answering softly, “Of course, Uncle Zhao. Is there a problem?”

His expression showed just the right amount of concern and confusion.

The butler scrutinized his expression over and over again, his gaze finally landing on the gauze pad on the young master’s forehead.

He closed his eyes tightly, lost in thought for a moment, then let out a soft sigh, turned around, and waved his hand.

The butler said, “Go on, Young Master. Study well at the library, and don’t get hurt again… By the way, bring your friend home for dinner tonight.”

Li Shuyun hesitated. “Bring him home for dinner? …Alright, Uncle Zhao, I’ll ask my friend what he thinks.”

After getting the butler’s permission, the young man turned and left the house.

He took a taxi to the Capital Library. After getting out and entering the library, he expertly made his way down to the basement level, cutting through the connected underground parking garage to a shopping mall a full block away.

Then, he took a second taxi to his true destination for the day.

The taxi sped along the road.

The system gave a real-time report: “Host, your whereabouts have been successfully discovered by the butler’s plainclothes bodyguards!”

Lin Chen gave real-time commands: “Good. Once they can roughly determine the destination area, help me shake them off. Leave me plenty of time.”

The system didn’t know why the host needed “plenty of time.”

But as a qualified system, it knew well that the host’s command was law. After diligently completing the task assigned by the host…

The host had arrived at the skydiving base.

The host boarded the plane. After waiting for the plane to ascend to the target altitude, he opened the cabin door and stood at the entrance, greeting the brisk, cold wind from a thousand meters up.

The system understood.

System: “…Host, according to your plan, wasn’t this step just supposed to be waiting at the skydiving base to get caught by Li Yunhui? You’re actually going to jump yourself?”

The system was extremely distressed. “My current energy reserves are nowhere near enough to save you from being smashed to pieces!”

The host let out a light laugh. He kicked off with his legs and, with perfect form, leaped from the plane.

Facing the fierce wind, the host replied in his mind with a smile, “You actually thought I would count on you? …Don’t worry your head off. I’m just enjoying something I used to like. When it comes to this, I’m no worse than Li Yunhui.”

…

The butler had not come out alone.

Ahead of him, two plainclothes bodyguards were scouting the road in a car.

Beside him sat someone who was just as invested in today’s investigation as he was—Li Yunhui.

Opportunities for them to be in the same car were rare, and at times like this, the atmosphere in the vehicle always grew stagnant.

Soon, however, this deathly silent atmosphere was broken by the voice of a plainclothes bodyguard coming through the walkie-talkie.

The bodyguard sounded slightly panicked. “Brother Zhao, Eldest Young Master, we’ve suddenly lost track of the young master’s car. We can’t find it!”

The butler immediately frowned. “What happened? You lost him? What’s the situation on the other side?”

The second bodyguard answered hastily, “Brother Zhao, I’ve lost him here too!”

“Tsk!”

A sound of irritation suddenly came from within the car.

Li Yunhui, with a “can you even be relied upon” look written all over his face, shot a dark glance at the butler.

Then he took out a map, connected the Capital Library to their current position, extended the line forward, and circled all the extreme sports-related venues along the route with his finger.

Among them, the one that seemed most likely to pique his brother’s interest…

Li Yunhui spoke up. “Whoever is free, go to the Little Red Umbrella Skydiving Base up ahead and ask around. I suspect Shuyun might have gone there.”

The butler, who was driving, frowned at the words and ordered, “Do as the eldest young master says.”

After ending the walkie-talkie call, the butler’s face was grim. He looked at the eldest young master in the rearview mirror and finally spoke to him.

He said in a low voice, “Eldest Young Master, we’ve now been reduced to needing to stand on the same side. Shouldn’t you be sharing your information with me?”

Li Yunhui was in a terrible mood at the moment and replied impatiently, “Just do as I say. Why so many questions?”

The butler said expressionlessly, “I am simply worried about the young master—unlike you. Eldest Young Master, do you regret it now?”

Li Yunhui: “…What?”

The butler: “If you hadn’t opened this Pandora’s box of extreme sports for the young master, why would we need to resort to tracking him like this now?”

Li Yunhui let out a cold laugh. “As I recall, just last night I told you to be sure to keep Shuyun at home this week and wait for my return. And what happened? The sun came out today, and you let him out the door!”

The butler shook his head. “If you can’t provide actual evidence, what reason do I have to keep the young master at home? The small bruise on his forehead?”

He glanced at Li Yunhui. “I haven’t even restricted the movements of someone like you, whom Mr. Li has explicitly forbidden from engaging in extreme sports, let alone the young master.”

“Speaking of which—” The butler was a bit perplexed. “Eldest Young Master, you are clearly much crazier with extreme sports than the young master. Why are you only worried about the young master and not reflecting on yourself?”

Li Yunhui: “…”

Li Yunhui said expressionlessly, “You are really annoying.”

The car fell silent once again.

Li Yunhui kept calling Li Shuyun, but his brother’s phone remained unanswered.

Li Yunhui was extremely agitated, the sense of foreboding in his heart growing stronger.

This premonition had been deeply planted in his heart ever since he received the message from his climbing buddy last night.

He couldn’t believe it. How could his usually so obedient and well-behaved brother do something like secretly participating in extreme sports behind his back?!

Without him there to protect him, wasn’t his brother afraid of getting into an accident?!

The silence in the car was once again broken by the walkie-talkie.

The voice on the other end was rapid: “Brother Zhao, Eldest Young Master, I’ve asked around at the skydiving base, and someone really has seen the young master! But based on the time, the young master should have already geared up and entered the field!”

The butler’s expression finally changed. “The young master really went?! Quick, contact the front desk and stop him for me!”

The voice on the walkie-talkie was distressed. “Brother Zhao, I can’t! The front desk says guest information is confidential. They will only help check the information if a relative comes in person.”

The butler’s gaze immediately fell on Li Yunhui.

Li Yunhui snapped, “…What are you looking at me for? Step on the gas!”

The two quickly arrived at the skydiving base.

Li Yunhui hurriedly took out his ID and ran to the front desk. With a combination of persuasion, threats, and stuffing money into their hands, he finally got them to check on Li Shuyun’s current status for him.

One look.

Great. He was on the plane, and the plane was about to climb to the target altitude… The climb was complete!

Li Yunhui’s eyelid twitched.

Reason told him that commercial skydiving wasn’t dangerous. Everything was handled by a tandem instructor. His brother wouldn’t…

Li Yunhui took a deep breath and, suppressing his anger, said, “Please contact the plane and cancel my brother’s skydive! We will pay the full amount for the jump.”

The staff member hesitated for a moment, then made the call and relayed the customer’s request.

But…

The staff member turned back helplessly. “S-Sir, I’m sorry, your brother has already exited the cabin.”

The staff member quickly added, “But please rest assured, our preliminary checks are very strict. Since your brother was able to get on the plane, his physical condition must have been approved. You don’t need to worry too much!”

Li Yunhui’s brow lowered heavily. He cursed under his breath, then turned and strode towards the observation deck.

Compared to Li Yunhui’s fury, the butler was much calmer at this moment.

Perhaps it was because his tolerance for “extreme sports” had already been greatly widened by Li Yunhui. Compared to the matter of “the young master secretly doing extreme sports,” the butler was more concerned with the fact that “the young master had lied to him.”

The butler sighed silently, reminiscing about the days when he had just received the young master… How obedient and well-behaved the young master had been.

It must be because of the eldest young master’s meddling that the young master had become like this, lying and secretly engaging in extreme sports!

He just didn’t understand how the eldest young master, the main culprit, was now somehow more anxious and worried than he, the one who had always opposed extreme sports.

Hadn’t the eldest young master ever considered that his current feelings of worry and resistance towards the young master doing extreme sports were exactly the same as Brother Li’s feelings of worry and resistance towards him doing extreme sports??

The butler followed in the eldest young master’s footsteps to the observation deck.

Just then, Li Yunhui put down the binoculars.

He loudly called over a staff member, furious. “Where is the person who does your assessments? Get him out here! My brother can’t possibly have a skydiving license, so why was he able to do a solo jump here? How do you vet these licenses? Is this something you can joke about?! If anything happens to my brother, can you bear the responsibility!”

As soon as he said this, several staff members immediately surrounded them in surprise, trying to reason with Li Yunhui about the matter.

But Li Yunhui had no interest in arguing with them about how this had happened. He just wanted these staff members to prepare for a potential rescue immediately!

…Letting Shuyun do a solo jump, were they crazy?!

Just then, Li Yunhui suddenly heard someone on the side shout, “Hey, that little brother landed safely!”

Li Yunhui’s head snapped up.

Shuyun?

Through the transparent window, his sharp eyes spotted the familiar, thin figure on the skydiving field landing awkwardly on the ground. Several staff members on the field saw this and immediately ran towards him.

Li Yunhui’s eye twitched. He immediately turned his head, ditching the circle of staff members around him, and ran quickly towards the exit for jumpers.

The butler ran to catch up, grabbing his wrist and saying in a low, disapproving voice, “Eldest Young Master, control your temper! The young master at least landed safely. Don’t let him lose face in front of everyone. We can talk about whatever it is when we get home.”

Li Yunhui laughed. “Face?”

The fire in his chest burned fiercely.

To put it bluntly, if he saw Li Shuyun right now, he just wanted to flip him over and give him ten hard spanks on the butt.

…How dared Li Shuyun gamble with his life on something like this?!

Li Yunhui sneered and said, “Landed safely? With that posture, if he comes out of there without an injured leg, I’ll walk home on my hands today!”

“He’s lucky the problem with his form only appeared during the landing. If there had been an accident even half a minute earlier, he would have been smashed to pieces! …Tell me, if Shuyun doesn’t learn a painful lesson from this, what if he dares to do something like this again in the future?!”
