A car was blocking the hall, with glass shards scattered everywhere and several spots of blood on the floor.
Four women and one man were looking at him pitifully, their faces bruised and swollen.
They had clearly suffered violent abuse earlier.
Case solved. This was definitely a major vicious crime.
It also counted as a Second-Class Merit.
It was the New Year—time to pad his achievements. How awesome!
"Who did this?"
"Officer, it was me." Xu Yi stepped forward.
Huang Lu immediately tugged on Xu Yi's arm. "And me."
Meng Xiang's pupils contracted. He looked at Xu Yi and Huang Lu, then at Li Wen, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.
"You three again. What a narrow world. Let's see how you run this time. Take them all away!"
Yu Shu stepped in front of the three. "Comrade, are you really going to take people away without learning the details?"
"What's there to learn? The facts are right in front of us."
"Say hello to your director for me. I haven't had a drink with him in a long time."
Meng Xiang froze, eyeing Yu Shu suspiciously. "You know our director?"
"Mm... I'm Yu Shu, the director of the Education Bureau."

The next second, Meng Xiang's eyes seemed ready to spit fire.
Damn rich people. They've pulled strings all the way up to the director.
But it's useless. We're not even in the same system. I'm not afraid of you.
"Director Yu, I'll remember what you said. Everyone, come with me to the station for tea."
Yu Shu's expression immediately darkened. "Your awareness is lacking, young comrade."
"Director Yu, I represent justice!"
Xu Yi suddenly asked, "Officer, you're arresting us without explanation. May I ask what law we broke?"
"Did you crash this car in here?"
"Yes."
"Deliberately damaging someone else's property isn't illegal?"
"But this store belongs to my sister."
Huang Lu nodded. "That's right. It's my store."

Damn rich people!
"Well, then... you beat people too. Look at how bruised and swollen these five are."
Xu Yi smiled and turned to look at the five with a threatening gaze.
"Did I hit you?"
The five shook their heads like rattles. "N-no. The five of us just fought among ourselves."

"Officer, you saw it yourself. These five are employees of the store. They had a little disagreement today."
Meng Xiang's expression became extremely ugly, but he still looked encouragingly at the five. "Don't be afraid. Say it boldly. I guarantee I'll bring the bad guys to justice."
Lu Wei looked at Huang Lu's icy face and immediately shuddered. "Officer, it really was a disagreement among the five of us. We've already made up after President Xu mediated."

Damn capitalism!!
Justice has lost~
From today onward, my name isn't Tie Lin anymore. Call me the Money-Seeking Hermit!
Meng Xiang left, carrying his resentment and regret at failing to obtain a Second-Class Merit.
Yu Shu shook his head. "This young comrade's awareness is lacking. He'll definitely suffer for it in the future."
Xu Yi nodded. He wasn't a bad person; he just wanted too badly to get ahead.
See? He's in too much of a hurry again...
After making sure the police car had driven away, the five people nearly knelt down to apologize to Xu Yi.
They also pooled together ten thousand yuan to compensate Xu Yi.
When asked, they called it compensation for lost wages and emotional distress.
Even after they had gone that far, Huang Lu still fired them.
You offended the abbot and still want to run?
Afterward, Huang Lu called in cleaners and repairmen to clean up the scene, and Xu Yi joined them.
After all, he had caused the trouble himself, so he felt at least a little guilty.
But this made Huang Lu's heart ache. "Brother, stop working for now. I ordered some boxed meals. Let's eat."
"Sure. I'm a little hungry anyway."
Huang Lu had planned to invite Yu Shu and Li Wen to eat with them, but both said they had something to do.
They said goodbye and left.
"Brother, I'm sorry you have to settle for a boxed meal with me."
Xu Yi opened the box and smiled. "It's not like I haven't eaten boxed meals before."
A shrimp entered his mouth, bursting with fresh, savory juices. The wagyu melted instantly, filled with a rich milky fragrance.
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow. "This boxed meal is pretty good. Where did you order it?"
"That hotel we ate at before."
"Five-star hotel, Cuiyun Pavilion?"
"That's right."
Xu Yi glanced at the bill. One box cost over a thousand yuan.
Never mind...
This one meal costs as much as my living expenses for a month.
It seemed he was still a long way from becoming part of the capitalists. He had to work harder.
First, he needed to change his mindset and get rid of his bad habit of thinking he could fill himself up without eating staple foods.
After eating his fill, Xu Yi prepared to continue working part-time.
But after getting into the car, he was dumbfounded. At some point, the airbags had deployed.
"Brother, why don't you just take this dealership? I bought it for you in the first place, and I don't have much time to manage it."
Huang Lu noticed Xu Yi's awkward predicament and considerately offered.
Xu Yi sighed. There was always someone trying to put a bowl of soft rice right into his mouth, wearing down his willpower.
Sometimes, he really didn't want to work hard anymore.
In the end, after Huang Lu pestered him relentlessly, Xu Yi reluctantly agreed.
"Brother, take this car and drive it. It's a Porsche 911. It's not worth much—only a little over four million."
"Girl, if you keep this up, your brother won't want to work hard anymore."
Two blushes appeared on Huang Lu's peerlessly beautiful face. "It's fine, Brother. I can support you for the rest of your life."
Who said this girl was cold and aloof? She's incredible.
At that moment, the viewers who had just entered the livestream saw this opening critical hit, and jealous tears welled up at the corners of their mouths.
Work hard! We're all men—why do you get to live off a woman?
Move aside. Do you even know how to enjoy being a kept man? Let me do it!
I hung my sister up and beat her for three days and three nights, but she still refused to admit she was a rich woman.
"All right, girl. I'm going back to driving for a rideshare service. See you next time."
Huang Lu gazed at Xu Yi reluctantly. "Brother, you really don't have to push yourself this hard. I just now... wasn't joking."
Xu Yi rubbed her head, and the little girl immediately looked delighted.
Her body unconsciously leaned against Xu Yi. She was soft and tender, and waves of fragrance drifted over.
"Girl, we both grew up in an orphanage. The days when we had to hold out our hands and beg for food weren't easy. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Huang Lu stood rooted to the spot, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother. I didn't think it through."
"It's not your fault."
Buddy, you're really managing to enjoy the soft rice without losing your dignity?
(Kneeling down and becoming a dog.jpg) Brother, there were so many people around just now. How did you do it? I genuinely want to learn.
Just then, Xu Yi's phone rang. The caller ID read "Cockroach Sister."
"Hello, Abstract Sister. Why are you calling me? To become sworn brothers?"
The campus belle on the other end blushed, her face filled with social-death embarrassment.
Her ten slender, jade-white toes, wrapped in white stockings, clenched tightly together. (I'm standing right here today. Let's see who dares!)
She wished she could dig a castle out of thin air.
"Buddy, are you free tonight? I want to discuss something with you."
"You're still drinking?"
"Xu Yi!"

Xu Yi: "???"
There was only his younger sister beside him, so where were these Emotion Points coming from...?
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Huang Lu clenched her pink fists tightly, her face slightly pale. "Brother, who is she?"
"She's an extremely abstract female classmate of mine."

"Are you close?"
"Not really. I've only met her once."
