At sunset, the plane landed, and Wang Haoran returned.
When he discovered the storm that had arisen in just two days, he was instantly dumbfounded.
It didn't matter to him that his TikTok account was permanently banned.
The reason for opening the account was a momentary impulse. But offering 5 million to buy his "third leg"?
Wasn't that going too far?
After learning this news, Wang Haoran immediately sent Cui Xiao to find Qiu Qianwei, while he himself headed to the nearest internet cafe.

Qiu Qianwei's phone was turned off. Cui Xiao could only inquire about her whereabouts through her friends.
Most of Qiu Qianwei's friends knew of her status as an apprentice, so when Cui Xiao asked, they shared what they knew. The responses were mostly the same.
Upon learning of Qiu Qianwei's award, her friends wanted to call her to invite her out to celebrate.
However, Qiu Qianwei had disappeared without a trace.
Cui Xiao was anxious and went to the places Qiu Qianwei usually hung out. Since evening until dawn, and from dawn until morning, she hasn't rested at all.
Fortunately, her perseverance paid off. As dusk approached, Cui Xiao found her in a primary school funded by Qiu Qianwei in the Qingling Mountain area.
"Master, I finally found you!" Cui Xiao exclaimed with joy.
"Why aren't you with your sweetheart? What are you doing here?" Qiu Qianwei asked.
Having not seen each other for two or three days, Qiu Qianwei looked visibly exhausted, with a somewhat pale complexion and faint bloodshot eyes. It seemed her sleep quality had been extremely poor these past few days.
"Master, you've got it wrong. There's nothing between me and Wang Haoran. It was all just an act to deceive you," Cui Xiao hurriedly explained.
"What?" Qiu Qianwei was taken aback.
"Master, if you don't believe me, see for yourself!" Cui Xiao showed Qiu Qianwei the entire video from that day in the bedroom. The first part of the video showed Wang Haoran and Cui Xiao rehearsing for a while.
Then Qiu Qianwei came, mistakenly thinking they were intimate, and left in despair. Following that, Cui Xiao crawled out of under the covers, fully clothed...
Upon seeing this, Qiu Qianwei couldn't bear to watch anymore. It was like waking up from a dream.
"Master, your performance of 'Tragic Love' was flawless. Congratulations on achieving your wish. As your only apprentice, I am truly honored," Cui Xiao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qiu Qianwei's pain and melancholy from the past few days were instantly swept away, and her mood suddenly became extremely pleasant.
[Ding, the female lead Qiu Qianwei's affection for the host increases by 15, current total affection is 90 (unwavering)]
[Ding, the host greatly influences the direction of the plot, gains 1600 villain points, Lin Chen's protagonist halo -80, host's villain halo +80!]
"This honor is partly thanks to you, but honestly, besides your musical talent, your acting skills are really terrific," Qiu Qianwei said, her face once again beaming with a smile.
"Master, actually... actually, I wasn't acting," Cui Xiao confessed. Then her expression fell, "But, I know I'm not good enough for him. Only someone as outstanding as you, Master, is worthy of him."
"Xiao Xiao..." Qiu Qianwei wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.
"Master, I'm fine. After playing as his girlfriend for a few days, I'm actually quite satisfied. It's also a nice memory," Cui Xiao said cheerfully. After a moment of depression, she quickly cheered up.
"Oh, him... Where is he?" Qiu Qianwei's cheeks turned slightly red as she asked.
"I don't know, but he's definitely hiding now," Cui Xiao said nervously.
"What's going on?" Qiu Qianwei's phone had long been dead, and she had no idea what had happened.
"Master, let me show you some news," Cui Xiao opened her phone and showed Qiu Qianwei some headlines.
"A 5 million reward... How could this happen?" Qiu Qianwei's face quickly turned as pale as paper. She never imagined that her simple acceptance speech would lead to someone tracing it back to the "Piano God" and putting him in such danger.
In a state of anxiety, Qiu Qianwei took Cui Xiao's phone and dialed Wang Haoran's number. But the earpiece reminder indicated that the number was switched off.
"Go back to the city, go back immediately!" Qiu Qianwei urged anxiously.
"Master, it's already dark, it's dangerous to drive on mountain roads at this time," Cui Xiao said.
"I don't care, give me the keys, I'll drive back myself," Qiu Qianwei said.
"Let's go back together. I'll drive," fearing that Qiu Qianwei might get into trouble due to her impatience, Cui Xiao made a quick decision.
Although Cui Xiao's driving skills were not very good, they were still better than Qiu Qianwei, who had hardly driven a car since getting her driver's license.
...
Late at night, Wang Haoran came out of an internet cafe.
He felt a little tired.
After all, working intensively for 24 hours straight, even for someone as strong as him, brought fatigue.
In the age of information, finding someone in real life through their online traces wasn't very difficult.
But fortunately, he had "top-notch hacking skills".
He spent 24 hours creating a super virus. Just now, the super virus had taken effect, erasing all information about the "Piano God" from the internet.
It would be almost impossible to find Wang Haoran's real identity online through the "Piano God" unless someone exposed him offline.
But only Yang Jingwan, Xu Muyan, and other female leads knew Wang Haoran was the "Piano God."
Considering their high affection, it was absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing.
Hopefully, the 5 million reward issue has now been resolved.
However, just to be safe, Wang Haoran spent 12,000 villain points in exchange for 24 years of inner Qi, thereby boosting his power to 50 years.
When inner Qi reaches 50 years, true Qi would undergo a qualitative change. He would be able to condense protective Qi, reaching the point where one was invulnerable to blades and spears.
In addition, all senses would become stronger, and combat power would increase greatly.
On his attribute panel, his combat power increased from 1369 to 2449. This combat power was already terrifying. Perhaps only those old martial artists with inner Qi exceeding 50 years could threaten Wang Haoran.
However, at their level, they were at least masters, and it was unlikely that they would stoop to being hired to work for 5 million.
Looking at the villain points, which had shrunk to 9500, Wang Haoran couldn't help but feel a tinge of pain.
