"Wukong, what's going on?"

On the Juxia Number, Du Kao asked sternly.

He was utterly baffled. He had been studying the Black Great Wall plan when Sun Wukong suddenly called and asked him to transfer one million.

If he hadn't known Sun Wukong so well, he would have thought Sun Wukong had been kidnapped or scammed.

"Old Du, do you trust me or not? Don't ask why. Transfer the money, now."

Sun Wukong shouted. His fur stood on end, and golden light flickered in his eyes.

"Wukong, you know how it is. Although I lead the Super Soldier Company, the funds allocated by the state are limited and have always been handled strictly for official business. Every transaction is clearly recorded. One million is neither much nor little. How can I give it to you without knowing why? Besides, my salary is only so much. I can't come up with it right now," Du Kao said.

"...Old Du, we've known each other for thousands of years. You don't even have this little money?" Sun Wukong said.

"I have some antiques, but it'll take time to liquidate them. If you're not in a hurry, I'll give it to you in a couple of days. You should still tell me what's going on," Du Kao said.

Sun Wukong had not wanted to say it, but Du Kao was not an outsider. After thinking it over, he told him anyway.

Du Kao fell silent after hearing the explanation, his face darkening considerably. He had thought it was some major matter, but it turned out Sun Wukong wanted money to send gifts to a female streamer. Wasn't this far too absurd?

He knew a little about Ah Li. She had originally been part of the Super God Academy roster, but Sun Wukong did not want Ah Li to join so soon, so she had not been included among the first batch of students.

"Wukong, although you aren't part of the Super God Academy, you are still Dragon Country's guardian deity. I've been giving you tens of thousands in salary every month all these years. Did you spend it all sending gifts?" Du Kao asked.

"More or less," Sun Wukong replied. Thinking about it now, he did feel a little embarrassed.

"Wukong, I can't help you with the money. But I can think of another way," Du Kao said.

"What way?" Sun Wukong immediately asked.

"Sending gifts on a live stream is nothing more than lusting after beauty. Since Ah Li and that person aren't familiar with each other yet, I can use some means to shut down the live stream room or the website. Then they won't be able to interact," Du Kao said.

"That works too? Then what will Ah Li do afterward?" Sun Wukong said, though he secretly agreed with the idea.

"Wukong, you're too flustered because you care. The gifts you sent, along with those from the other viewers, are enough for Ah Li to live comfortably for several years," Du Kao said.

"Fine, we'll do that. Send this old Sun that viewer's identity information while you're at it," Sun Wukong said.

"Wukong? What are you planning to do?" Du Kao asked sternly.

"Don't worry, this is a society ruled by law now. This old Sun won't do anything reckless. I just want to know what kind of person he is. If he's a good person, this old Sun wouldn't mind Ah Li getting to know him," Sun Wukong said.

"Fine." Du Kao nodded.

After hanging up, Sun Wukong checked the live stream room. Sure enough, it had already been shut down.

What was ridiculous was that after he exited, he could not even find Ah Li's live stream room anymore.

"...That Old Du really works fast." Sun Wukong smiled helplessly, picked up the beer by his bed, and drained it in one gulp.

On the Juxia Number.

Du Kao obtained the viewer's information from Lian Feng. But as he looked at the person in the file, he found him somewhat familiar.

"Lian Feng, haven't we seen this young man somewhere before?" Du Kao asked.

"General Du, you forgot after only a few days. Xu Yi is the one who had barbecue with Leina, the future heir of Angel Group. Still, this young man is quite handsome," Lian Feng said.

"So it's him. No wonder he looked familiar. Angel Group invested a large sum in us, so we can't forget this favor," Du Kao said.

He then took a photo of the information with his phone and sent it to Sun Wukong.

"Lian Feng, what kind of person is this Xu Yi? Does he have any bad habits?" Du Kao asked.

Lian Feng glanced at the screen and said, "According to the records, although Xu Yi is a rich second-generation heir, he usually keeps a low profile and has no bad record whatsoever. In fact, not many people in Tianhe City know him."

"That's all?" Du Kao asked, dissatisfied with the answer.

"That's all the information says," Lian Feng replied.

"What are you looking at?"

Du Qiangwei suddenly appeared behind them and glanced at the light screen, where Xu Yi was displayed.

At the thought of Xu Yi, she recalled Sky Dome with his hair parted down the middle.

"Qiangwei, it's nothing, nothing." Du Kao turned around and hurriedly said.

"Oh. He's just an ordinary person. Why are you investigating him?" Qiang Wei asked irritably.

She had not revealed Xu Yi's abilities, since he had not displayed any harmful intentions so far.

Besides, she still wanted to learn One Flying Knife Breaks the Sky Dome from Xu Yi.

"It's a coincidence. You know Victorious Fighting Buddha, right, Qiangwei? Here's what happened..." Du Kao gave her a brief explanation.

"..."

Qiang Wei fell silent after hearing it, not knowing how to describe her current feelings.

Could anyone imagine a monkey frantically sending gifts to a female streamer from behind a screen?

Then, after running out of money, he even asked her father to transfer some! "Keeping up with the times. New era, new atmosphere," Du Kao said with a smile.

"You two carry on." Qiang Wei turned and left, feeling that the world was becoming increasingly absurd.

In a rented room somewhere in Juxia City.

"Damn it, what kind of trash platform is this?"

"They shut down Auntie's stream again!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Garbage..."

Ah Li cursed nonstop, completely unlike the cute, sweet, youthful girl she appeared to be in the live stream room.

She only wanted to make some money while she was young. Who would have thought the platform would shut her down?

There were plenty of streamers pushing the line, so why shut her down? Not to mention that her live stream room had always only had a dozen or so viewers.

Now that a big spender besides the Great Saint had finally appeared, they shut her down. Wasn't that affecting her GFP?

If she had been allowed to keep streaming, she might have received dozens or even hundreds of Hua Zi.

Fortunately, before the stream was shut down, she had added Xu Yi on Green Bubble.

At that moment, Ah Li saw some of Xu Yi's information through his Moments.

Xu Yi did not post much on Moments, but they were mostly lifestyle photos of sports cars and luxury homes.

There was also a selfie of Xu Yi. Although it only showed his back, Ah Li could imagine that he had to be a handsome, wealthy man!

"Oh my god, sports cars, luxury homes, and a handsome guy! This enormous fortune has finally come to me." Ah Li smugly rejoiced.

Although they had added each other's contact information, the other party had not sent her a message.

"Ah Li, you're a mature streamer now. You need to take the initiative and contact the big-spender brother."

Ah Li encouraged herself, then typed with trembling fingers. "Hello, Brother Xu."

"How good?" Xu Yi casually replied.

"Uh... very good, very good. Extremely good. Thank you for your support today, Brother Xu. Ah Li is truly so touched," Ah Li said emotionally.

"Oh, that's it?" Xu Yi replied.

"Of course not. If you're free tomorrow, Ah Li would like to treat you to a meal," Ah Li said.

"I'm not free tomorrow," Xu Yi said.

"..." Ah Li.

"Then in a couple of days?" Ah Li continued probing.

"Tonight."

"?" Ah Li.

P.S. I made a group. Anyone who needs it can join.
