Li Wen: The Clown Was Me All Along

"Still dare to curse! Keep hitting..."

[Negative Emotion Points +100 * 4]

While being beaten, Ji Bowen's Emotion Points never stopped rising.

This also left Xu Yi speechless.

Others are beating you, yet you resent me?

You deserve to be beaten to death.

Ji Bowen didn't know how long he had been beaten, only that he had fainted four times.

Each time, he was splashed with cold water to wake him up, and then the beating continued.

Each time before he fainted, he heard a devilish whisper in his ear.

"Sister, he's about to faint again... He looks so pitiful. To prevent him from dying suddenly, let's wake him up with ice water."

"Brother, you're just too kind. You'll be bullied like this."

I'm kind to you, you *******...

This time he behaved, switching to cursing inwardly.

In reality, cursing out loud was unlikely, as his front teeth had all been knocked out.

Half an hour later, seeing the Garrison Officers walk in, Ji Bowen shed tears of hope for the first time in his life.

"Officer, save me. My life is ending~"

The Garrison Officers were also startled by Ji Bowen's miserable state.

Meng Xiang was about to step forward to inquire when Huang Lu stopped him.

"Officer, we were the ones who called the police. This man used a gun to kidnap my brother. Arrest him."

Meng Xiang frowned, "We will investigate the specific reasons. Did you beat him to this state?"

Huang Lu's cold expression returned, her tone indifferent, "No, he fell himself."

"Alright, alright..."

Meng Xiang was amused to the point of laughter; they were treating him like a fool.

"You'll all come with me to the Garrison Bureau. Once you sit inside 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? This is a threat to a Garrison Officer!"

Huang Lu remained silent, just looking at him calmly.

"Three, two..."

"What are you doing?" Meng Xiang asked, confused.

As soon as he spoke, his phone rang.

"Hello, Director?"

"Captain Meng, bring Ji Bowen back for questioning. Ignore everyone else."

"But Director, I suspect they used torture privately."

"Hurry up! Am I not the one giving orders here?"

"Why?" Meng Xiang asked, feeling a bit indignant.

"I'm saving you! Higher-ups personally called to instruct us. You should understand the seriousness of the situation."

"Okay."

Meng Xiang dejectedly put down his phone, cast a reluctant glance at Huang Lu, and left with Ji Bowen.

Xu Yi couldn't help but click his tongue. Is this the benefit of being rich and powerful?

He beat someone, and in the end, it's him who gets sentenced.

Brilliant!

After everyone had completely left, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

"Xiao Yi, what exactly is going on? You and Miss Huang..."

"We depended on each other in the orphanage for over ten years. She's my long-lost sister."

[Guilt Points +200]

"Xiao Yi, it's Uncle Li's fault."

[Guilt Points +200]

"Brother, it's all my fault. I couldn't find you sooner."

The sudden influx of guilt caught Xu Yi off guard.

"This isn't a place to chat. Let's find a restaurant, eat, and talk," Xu Yi suggested.

Previously, at the hot pot restaurant, the abstract Campus Belle didn't let him eat much, and later Yu Xue came and directly snatched food from him.

This left him not even full...

Cuiyun Pavilion~

Port City's only five-star hotel.

The diamond private room, which hadn't been opened in a month, was now being used by Xu Yi and two others.

The manager personally attended to them, with three beautiful and elegant girls standing by the wall, ready to serve at any moment.

Xu Yi picked up a piece of tofu, and his eyes immediately lit up, "This tofu is good, how is it made?"

The waiter immediately replied respectfully, "This tofu is made by grinding the meat of Alaskan King Crab and French Blue Lobster into a paste and then extruding it."

"..."

"Then what about these Lion's Heads?"

"These Lion's Heads are made by rolling ingredients like Jade Abalone, Black Gold Abalone, Ginseng, White Truffle, and Ginseng. The soup base is a clear broth simmered with over a dozen types of mountain delicacies and wild Yellow Croaker."

Xu Yi didn't say anything, just continued to eat heartily.

Huang Lu watched Xu Yi from the side, her eyes filled with deep affection.

After eating and drinking their fill, Xu Yi started the conversation.

"Little sister, can you resolve the crisis for the Furun Group?"

Li Wen's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, his eyes constantly signaling Xu Yi.

Little Yi! You don't understand business matters.

Uncle already begged her before, it was useless!

Even though she's your sister, don't make things difficult for her.

But the next second, Huang Lu happily agreed, "No problem. I would have done it even if you hadn't asked, brother."

"You seem very happy."

"Because brother asked me for help, I'm very happy."

Li Wen: "..."

So I should leave?

This is going to bring huge losses to your company, and you agreed without even thinking, and you're happy about it?

I sat up in bed while dying, the clown was me all along.

When it comes to business, I'm still an amateur~

Seeing Huang Lu acting so obediently in front of him, Xu Yi couldn't help but pat her head, just like when she was a child.

Li Wen became nervous again.

Nephew, you can't just pat a girl's head!

This is the head of a young lady from Magic City.

Unexpectedly, Huang Lu closed her eyes in enjoyment, her expression very intoxicated.

Haha~ As expected, I'm the one who's superfluous.

This time, Li Wen was sensible. After finishing the last piece of sashimi, he found an excuse to leave.

Outside, he lit a cigarette, his eyes filled with an unshakeable melancholy.

His awesome uncle hadn't done anything significant for Little Yi yet, but Little Yi had already recognized a more awesome sister.

"Brother Fan, I'm so ashamed. I haven't contributed anything to Little Yi, yet he helped me resolve a crisis first. Just like you back then."

"Brother Fan, looking at this situation, Little Yi seems to be planning to live off his girlfriend. Should I advise him?"

"Forget it, Little Yi is so handsome, living off his girlfriend is perfectly reasonable."

Inside the private room~

Huang Lu kept serving Xu Yi dishes. Every time she looked up, she seemed like a baby waiting for praise.

This left the bodyguards behind dumbfounded.

Is this still the same cold, otherworldly young lady from before?

Dude, are you a Beguiler!

[Shock Points +50]

[Shock Points +50]

[Shock Points +50]

[...]

Xu Yi glanced at the bodyguards behind him, finding them strange. What was so shocking about this?

Could it be that none of you have ever had a girl serve you dishes before?

No way, no way~

"I heard you're going back to Magic City tonight?"

"No, since I found my brother, I'll go back in a few days."

Xu Yi nodded.

"Oh right, Brother, are you graduating soon?"

Xu Yi was surprised, "How did you know?"

"I've been counting. When we parted, you had just started high school."

Is this what they call attention to detail?

So nice... it warms my dead body.

"Brother, I heard it's hard for students to find jobs after graduation."

Xu Yi patted her head again, "Don't worry, your brother is very capable, I'll definitely find a job."

"What I mean is, why don't I just buy a company and let you run it?"

The bodyguards behind them shed tears of jealousy.

Listen to that... is that something a human would say?

Afraid of not finding a job, so she buys a company.

I've decided. When I get home, I'm going to hang my parents from the rafters and ask if they have a long-lost daughter.

"No need for a company, I don't want to think about that much for now," Xu Yi politely declined.

"Okay, I just bought a Junma 4S Dealership. I wanted to give it to you as a gift."

Xu Yi's eyelids twitched, "You mean that luxury car company?"

"Mm... I bought their dealership rights in Port City."
