"Still cursing? Keep hitting him..."
Negative Emotion Points +100*4
During the beating, Ji Bowen's Emotion Points never stopped increasing.
This left Xu Yi speechless.
Someone else was beating you, yet you blamed me?
You deserved to be beaten to death.
Ji Bowen had no idea how long he had been beaten. He only knew that he had passed out four times.
Each time, someone splashed cold water on him to wake him up, then continued beating him.
Every time he was about to pass out, a demonic whisper drifted into his ears.
"Little sister, he's about to pass out again... He looks so pitiful. To keep him from dying suddenly, let's use ice water to wake him up."
"Big brother, you're just too kind. You'll get bullied like this."
You call that kind, you ****...
This time, he behaved himself and switched to cursing inwardly.
In reality, cursing aloud was no longer much of an option either. The entire row of teeth in front had been knocked out.
Half an hour later, when he saw the Garrison Officer walk in, Ji Bowen shed the first tears of hope in his life.
"Officer, save me! I'm done for~"
The Garrison Officers were also startled by Ji Bowen's miserable appearance.
Meng Xiang had just been about to step forward and ask questions when Huang Lu blocked him.
"Officer, we were the ones who called the police. This man kidnapped my brother with a gun. Arrest him."
Meng Xiang frowned. "We'll investigate the specific circumstances. Did you beat him into this state?"
Huang Lu once again put on the cold expression she had worn earlier and replied coolly, "No. He fell by himself."
"Right..."
Meng Xiang laughed angrily. They were really treating him like a fool.
"You're all coming with me to the Garrison Bureau. After sitting there for a while, you'll be willing to tell the truth."
"I advise you not to do this. It's for your own good."
"Are you threatening me? You're threatening a Garrison Officer!"
Huang Lu said nothing, merely looking at him calmly.
"Three, two..."
"What are you doing?" Meng Xiang asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ringtone rang out.
"Hello, Director?"
"Captain Meng, bring Ji Bowen back for questioning. Don't concern yourself with anyone else."
"But Director, I suspect they used torture privately."
"Hurry up! Are my words no longer effective?"
"Why?" Meng Xiang asked, somewhat unwillingly.
"I'm saving you! Someone from above personally called to give instructions. You should understand how serious this is."
"All right."
Meng Xiang put down his phone helplessly. After casting an unwilling glance at Huang Lu, he took Ji Bowen away.
Xu Yi clicked his tongue. Was this the benefit of having money and power?
They had beaten him, yet in the end, he was the one who would be sentenced.
Brilliant!
After everyone had completely left, the atmosphere fell silent for a brief moment.
"Xiao Yi, what exactly is going on? You and Miss Huang..."
"She and I depended on each other at the orphanage for more than ten years. She's my long-lost sister."
Guilt Points +200
"Xiao Yi, it's Uncle Li's fault."
Guilt Points +200
"Big brother, it's all my fault. I couldn't find you sooner."
The sudden influx of guilt caught Xu Yi completely off guard.
"This isn't a place to chat. Let's find a restaurant and talk while we eat," Xu Yi suggested.
He had barely eaten at the hotpot restaurant earlier because of that bizarre campus beauty. Later, Yu Xue had come and directly fought him for the food.
As a result, he still wasn't full...
Cuiyun Pavilion~
The only five-star hotel in Harbor City.
The diamond private room, which had not been opened for a month, was now being used by the three of them.
The manager personally attended to them, while three delicate and beautiful young women stood by the wall, ready to serve at any moment.
Xu Yi picked up a piece of tofu. His eyes immediately lit up. "This tofu is pretty good. How was it made?"
The server immediately replied respectfully, "It was made by grinding the meat of Alaskan King Crab and French Blue Lobster into a paste, then pressing it into tofu."
"..."
"And this lion's head?"
"It was made by kneading Jade Abalone, Black Gold Abalone, Korean ginseng, White Truffle, Korean ginseng, and other ingredients together. The soup base was a clear broth simmered from more than a dozen mountain delicacies and wild Yellow Croaker."
Xu Yi said nothing, merely devouring the food with gusto.
Huang Lu watched Xu Yi from the side, her gaze full of affection.
After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Yi opened the conversation.
"Little sister, have you found a solution to the crisis facing the Furun Group?"
Li Wen's hand holding his chopsticks trembled. His eyes repeatedly signaled at Xu Yi.
Xiao Yi! You don't understand business matters.
Uncle already begged her before, and it was useless!
Even though she's your sister, don't put her in a difficult position.
But in the next second, Huang Lu happily agreed. "No problem. Even if big brother hadn't asked, I would have done it."
"You look very happy."
"Because big brother asked me for help. I'm very happy."
Li Wen: "..."
Should I just leave?
This would cause your company huge losses, yet you agreed without even thinking—and you're happy about it?
The dying man bolted upright in shock. The clown turned out to be me.
When it came to business, I was still an outsider~
Seeing how obedient Huang Lu looked in front of him, Xu Yi couldn't resist. Just as he had when they were children, he reached out and rubbed her head.
Li Wen grew nervous again from the side.
Nephew, you can't just touch a girl's head!
This was the head of the eldest heiress of Magic City, too.
Unexpectedly, Huang Lu closed her eyes in enjoyment, her expression utterly intoxicated.
Haha~ Sure enough, I'm the unnecessary one.
This time, Li Wen was very perceptive. After finishing his last piece of sashimi, he made an excuse and left the table.
Once outside, he lit a cigarette. The gloom in his eyes was so thick it seemed impossible to disperse.
His amazing Uncle Li had not even had the chance to do anything for Xiao Yi, yet Xiao Yi had turned around and acknowledged an even more amazing sister.
"Brother Fan, I'm so ashamed. I haven't done anything for Xiao Yi, yet he solved my crisis first. Just like you did back then."
"Brother Fan, judging by the situation, Xiao Yi seems like he's about to live off a woman. Should I persuade him?"
"Forget it. Xiao Yi is so handsome. It's only reasonable for him to live off a woman."
Inside the private room~
Huang Lu kept putting food into Xu Yi's bowl. Every time she looked up, she seemed like a baby waiting to be praised.
The bodyguards behind them were dumbstruck.
Was this really the same cold, otherworldly eldest heiress from before?
Seriously, are you some kind of enchantress?
Shock Points +50

Shock Points +50
Xu Yi glanced at the bodyguards behind him. They were acting so strangely. What was there to be shocked about?
Could it be that, despite growing up so big, no girl had ever put food in your bowls?
No way, no way~
"I heard you're returning to Magic City tonight?"
"No. Since I've found big brother, I'll return in a few days."
Xu Yi nodded.
"By the way, big brother, aren't you about to graduate?"
Xu Yi asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"I've been counting all along. When we parted back then, you had just started your first year of high school."
Was this what people called paying attention to the details?
So nice... It warms even my corpse to hear that.
"Big brother, I heard it's hard for students to find jobs after graduation."
Xu Yi rubbed her head again. "Don't worry. Your big brother is so capable. I'll definitely be able to find a job."
"What I mean is, how about I buy a company and let you run it?"
Tears of jealousy streamed down the corners of the bodyguards' mouths behind them.
Listen to that... Is that even something a human would say?
Afraid you won't find a job, so you just buy a company.
That settles it. When I get home, I'm hanging my parents from the roof beam and asking whether I have a long-lost sister.
"A company won't be necessary. I don't want to think about that much for now," Xu Yi politely declined.
"All right. I just bought a Junma 4S Dealership and was planning to give it to you as a gift."
Xu Yi's eyelid twitched. "The luxury-car company?"
"Mm... I bought their dealership rights in Harbor City."
