Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

76: Chapter 76 This person, I, Song Jiabao, will protect!The young girl wore a cream-colored haute couture dress, a thin cashmere shawl draped over her delicate shoulders. Her face was pale to the point of translucence, yet she carried an invisible, oppressive aura.

She held a silver cane in her hand. With every step she took, the clamor in the venue subsided, until finally, it fell into absolute silence.

”Is that... the Eldest Miss of the Song Family, Song Zhiwei?” someone whispered in astonishment. ”I heard she’s the only daughter of Song Hongyuan, the richest man in Jiangcheng, and has been recuperating abroad for years. Why would she suddenly appear here?”

Her gaze swept across the room, pausing for half a second when it landed on Zhang Fan, before fixing on his face. Her tone was ice-cold, devoid of any warmth: ”Uncle Fu, this person, the Song Family will protect.”

Fu Zhenhai’s expression changed instantly. The Song Family’s status in Jiangcheng was far beyond anything the Fu Family could compare to; Song Hongyuan not only controlled the financial lifeline of Jiangcheng, but even the top leaders in the capital had to show him some respect.

His previous arrogance deflated like a pricked balloon. He awkwardly withdrew his hand and forced a smile: ”Miss Song... Miss Song? Why are you here?”

Song Zhiwei ignored him, her gaze passing over the crowd to land directly on Zhang Fan.

Her expression was complex, filled with urgency, reliance, and a trace of imperceptible pleading, as if Zhang Fan were her only lifeline.

Just then, a mechanical notification sound suddenly rang in Zhang Fan’s mind, and a translucent blue interface popped up before his eyes—

[Ding! daily intelligence system]

[Current Level: LV2]

[Function Update: Obtain 1 piece of basic intelligence for free daily; paid intelligence requires consuming intelligence points (Current balance: 18)]

[Core Intelligence for this Volume (Free): Sickly Heiress Arc — Help the reborn Song Zhiwei escape the ”Intelligence-Reducing Halo” and begin her path of revenge.]

[Core Character: Song Zhiwei (Only daughter of the Jiangcheng Song Family, reborn)]

[Key Past: In her previous life, she was blinded by love and obsessed with Pei Yunxiao, the son of the Song Family’s nanny and driver, deceived by his fake persona. Pei Yunxiao used Song Zhiwei’s resources to act wealthy. After they married, he colluded with outsiders to defraud the Song Family’s company shares, murdered her father, and then killed Song Zhiwei. Ultimately, Song Zhiwei died full of hatred.]

[Status: She discovered that staying by the host’s side can suppress the negative effects of her rebirth (the ”Intelligence-Reducing Halo”).]

[Task Objective: Protect Song Zhiwei’s safety, assist her in collecting evidence of Pei Yunxiao’s crimes, and complete her revenge.]

Zhang Fan was completely stunned, his mind buzzing.

What was going on? Usually, the system updated intelligence promptly at midnight and never made a mistake. Why did it suddenly pop up today?

And it had even upgraded directly to LV2?

He stared at the ”LV2” indicator on the interface and subconsciously asked in his mind, ”System? You upgraded? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?”

However, the only response was the silence of the interface.

There were no extra notification sounds, no text feedback, and the blue light effect didn’t even flicker.

Zhang Fan then remembered that his daily intelligence system had always been ”aloof.” Aside from necessary intelligence pushes, it never responded to any of his questions. He had tried to communicate with it a few times before, only for his efforts to sink like a stone, and this time was clearly no exception.

”Fine, be aloof then.” Zhang Fan complained helplessly in his mind. He could only temporarily suppress his doubts and pull his attention back to the intelligence before him.

Rebirth, an intelligence-reducing halo, the son of a nanny and driver, the destruction of a family... With all these elements combined, he was completely stunned. His inner complaints poured out like a waterfall:

”What the hell? Does it have to be this cliché!”

”This plot... isn’t this the typical rich-family cliché found in web novels? They just swapped the male lead for a female lead?”

”A rich heiress falls in love with the son of a nanny and driver, gets scammed until her family is ruined, and then finds an ’anchor point’ after rebirth to take revenge... Good heavens, even a screenwriter wouldn’t dare write something this absurd!”
