After the graduation ceremony, the school organized a gathering.
After all, entrepreneurial university students were considered valuable connections for South Engineering University. Some of them had also achieved some success, and nobody could predict their future prospects.
However, Sun Cheng didn't attend the gathering; he had a lot of things to take care of.
Just recently, the conglomerate "Cybertron Technologies" had completed its consolidation, and there were many things that required his attention. Even more importantly, he needed to carefully consider the series of actions that would follow the contact with the government.
Driving back home with Ye Qi, they seldom ate out.
First, Ye Qi had a mild case of germophobia and always felt that food from outside was not clean. Second, she was quite skilled in cooking herself.
When they were young, Ye Qi's parents were busy with work, and due to Sun Cheng's memory loss from a childhood accident, he lacked the ability to do things for a long time. Even though he was adopted at around ten years old, for a significant period, Ye Qi took care of him and managed their meals and daily life.
From an early age, he had grown accustomed to having her in his life.
Parking the car in the garage and unlocking the door, Ye Qi stepped out from the passenger seat.
"I'll go prepare lunch. I bought quite a bit of ingredients just now. How about we have hot pot for lunch?"
She walked directly towards the back of the car and opened the trunk. From inside, she retrieved two large bags of groceries that she had bought from a nearby supermarket earlier.
Sun Cheng agreed, "Sure, you go ahead. I'll bring them up in a moment."
"No need, it's not that heavy!"
Ye Qi lifted the bags slightly, "My purse is still in the car, could you bring it up for me later?"
"Alright then."
Sun Cheng didn't insist. He had probably guessed that Ye Qi had decided to have hot pot for lunch when they were at the supermarket, so she had bought various ingredients, including beef, lamb, pork bones for broth, and lots of vegetables like lettuce and bean sprouts.
Although the two bags of groceries seemed heavy, together they weighed around ten kilograms at most. Like Sun Cheng, Ye Qi exercised for an hour or two every day at home, so carrying these groceries from the garage to the kitchen on the ground floor wasn't going to tire her out.
Because the garage concealed the entrance to an underground safe room, Sun Cheng had developed a habit of locking the garage whenever he left it.
After Ye Qi had gone out, he picked up her handbag from the passenger seat, locked the car and garage, and then casually glanced around before entering the villa.
On the first floor, Ye Qi placed the groceries in the relatively spacious kitchen and returned to her room. She had applied light makeup before leaving and was dressed in an outfit that was unusually reserved for a gathering. Naturally, it wasn't suitable for cooking.
Sun Cheng didn't mind. Since he had decided to let Ye Qi stay, their division of labor was very clear.
Due to her evening live streaming schedule, Ye Qi often slept in and would sometimes only get up around noon. She didn't eat breakfast and didn't need to prepare it either, so Sun Cheng took care of that.
Additionally, he was responsible for maintaining the household appliances and computers, as well as moving heavy objects.
As for lunch and dinner, as well as other miscellaneous household chores, Ye Qi handled those.
Neither of them had the intention to hire domestic help. However, considering their busy schedules, even with Ye Qi doing some light cleaning around the house, there were still areas that might be overlooked.
Hence, every week, Sun Cheng would hire a housekeeping company to thoroughly clean the villa, except for his office and the garage.
Even though they lived together, they respected each other's privacy.
For example, Sun Cheng rarely entered Ye Qi's bedroom or the streaming room she had set up, and similarly, Ye Qi wouldn't casually enter his bedroom or office while he was working or resting.
Since he didn't need to go to the company today, even though the smell of hot pot was strong, he didn't change into casual home clothes like Ye Qi did when she returned to her room.
After closing the door, casually hanging his suit jacket on a coat rack in a corner, Sun Cheng walked to his office desk and sat down.
Revenge, disguised as a laptop, was lying quietly on his desk.
However, Sun Cheng didn't immediately open it. Instead, after sitting down at the desk, he opened a hidden compartment underneath it and took out a cylindrical object, not much larger than an adult's thumb. He lightly pressed one end of it and then tossed it out.
Oddly enough, that inconspicuous piece of metal cylinder, after being thrown, hovered steadily in mid-air after flying a short distance due to inertia.
Then, several invisible air vibrations radiated from it as the center, causing everything within a five-meter radius without electromagnetic shielding to crash.
After about ten seconds, it seemed to lose all its power and dropped to the ground.
This was a detection device targeting electronic products. Despite its small size, it could emit a kind of super electromagnetic wave, causing all chip components within a five-meter radius centered around itself to crash if they hadn't been shielded against electromagnetic interference.
The reason why Ye Qi's computer and streaming equipment often malfunctioned was due to this device.
In fact, after realizing that he was being monitored, Sun Cheng used some devices he brought back from the "Transformers Universe" project to create a batch of these detection devices. This was to prevent anyone from infiltrating his home and leaving behind bugs or cameras.
The detection cylinder was something he had hastily put together, so the first batch he made were all disposable items.
Thus, Sun Cheng didn't even spare a glance at the fallen detection device on the ground. He turned to the laptop, disguised as a notebook, and said, "Revenge, access the residential security records..."
The laptop's closed screen automatically popped up, and the familiar insignia of Decepticons appeared on the screen.
Revenge's cold electronic voice followed, "At 10:21 AM, two unidentified individuals approached the villa and left several suspected surveillance devices around the premises. However, they didn't enter the building."
To ensure his safety, after purchasing the two villas in an upscale residential area, Sun Cheng instructed Revenge to install over six hundred surveillance devices throughout the neighborhood, covering almost all areas and blind spots.
Thus, whenever needed, Revenge could provide instant access to information about all residents, visitors, and vehicles entering or leaving the neighborhood.
As a man with a severe lack of a sense of security, privacy laws were like a piece of toilet paper to Sun Cheng. After all, the surveillance devices created by Autobot engineers were not only small in size but also well-hidden. Even if someone discovered them, it would be difficult to trace them back to him.
"Quite quick on the move."
Sun Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly, seeming to realize that the other party was planning to monitor him for a while before deciding whether to make contact.
However, this level of caution was obviously not aligned with his original plan.
Since he had already introduced the secret organization "P.C.F.", he needed someone behind him to be a known fact. Only then could he avoid being completely consumed when dealing with national-level powers.
Thinking this, he immediately took out Little Wu from his pocket and placed it beside the laptop that Revenge was disguised as.
"Transfer the locations of all suspicious surveillance devices to Little Wu. Little Wu, clear them out!"
Next, he just had to wait for someone to come to him for a 'conversation.'
