"I definitely don't believe it."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

Xu Yi looked at Li Ting, "What do you want with me?"

Li Ting said irritably, "What did you say? Hacking into Douyin's backend makes you look bad? Don't you know that's illegal?"

Xu Yi: "How about I upgrade your National Security System's system too?"

Li Ting's lips twitched. Damn it, who do they think they are?!

But why am I feeling this inexplicable flutter in my heart?

"Don't give me that smirk! You'll regret it once you get to Beijing Guoan."

Xu Yi shrugged and didn't say anything more.

Yang Kun then stepped forward and said, "Can we not investigate? We at Douyin do not intend to pursue Xu Yi, and we have already hired him as our top security expert."

Li Ting maintained his stern face, "No! If Douyin doesn't pursue this, at most they'll reduce the severity of the punishment."

Yang Kun shook his head helplessly. "Mr. Xu, I'm afraid I can't help you. But I'll contact the boss and do everything I can to get you out."

"It's okay, even if you can't save me, there are others who can."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

That kid is way too arrogant.

Even at this point, he was still hoping someone could save him.

Li Ting merely scoffed at this, saying, "No one has been able to get anyone out of our National Security Bureau yet. We look forward to seeing how you do. Come with us first; the leaders specifically requested to question you."

"Good."

"Kid, even if someone were a spy, we wouldn't take them this seriously. It just means you are one."

Li Ting gave a thumbs up.

"Sigh~"

Those around sighed, feeling sorry for Xu Yi.

If he doesn't get caught in the end, that would definitely be the highlight moment for a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel.

Just as Xu Yi was being pulled into the car, a loud shout came from not far away.

"Wait a moment!"

Ma Chang's pupils contracted slightly.

"Secretary Han, what brings you here?"

Li Ting looked puzzled. "Who is this...?"

"Let me introduce you. Han Tao is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of this city, but he's expected to become the Deputy Municipal Party Secretary next year. He's a favorite of the higher-ups."

Li Ting looked at him, "Is there something you need?"

"Could you not take him away? Or could you interrogate him directly at the local Public Security Bureau? He's unfamiliar with the area, and I'm worried he might get bullied."

"Secretary Han, you're now the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, what do you think?"

Han Tao fell silent.

He then looked at Xu Yi with deep affection, his eyes almost drooling.

Xu Yi got goosebumps from being stared at. "Dude, stop messing around! I'm straight..."

"You two are just like him, you're practically identical."

"Xiao Yi, I'm sorry for your brother."

"Xiao Yi, it's my fault. I couldn't protect your brother, and now I can't even protect you."

[Guilt Points +200*5]

Xu Yi:...

Xu Yi fell silent. This was the first man he had ever met who, without even a female companion, was already engaging in self-manipulation.

It's decided, from now on you're the top supporter.

This has nothing to do with how many Emotion Points points you contribute; it's just based on your self-strategy awareness.

It has to be number one!

Of course, Sun Bar traditions cannot be abandoned; first, a corner is struck, in accordance with Zhou rituals.

Xu Yi shook his head, wondering what he had been thinking about.

It should be about first creating a persona, and then taking the opportunity to ruthlessly exploit Emotion Points.

Xu Yi then looked up, his eyes showing the same look he had when looking at a dog, mixed with a hint of confusion.

"Who are you...?"

"My name is Han Tao, and I'm your brother's comrade-in-arms! Your brother asked me to take good care of you."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and he said something that almost shattered Han Tao's Dao heart.

"Have you taken good care of yourself?"

[Guilt Points +500]

"I, I didn't, I didn't..."

"It's alright, it's alright. You can't find me, so naturally you can't take care of me."

Han Tao's expression softened slightly. What an understanding child! He didn't complain at all; instead, he comforted himself.

"After all, you're an official, and a fairly high-ranking one at that. If you were to investigate me, it would definitely be a violation of discipline."

[Guilt Points +600]

Han Tao clenched his fists tightly, feeling ashamed!

Have I forgotten my original aspirations?

Everyone had a rather interesting look on their faces. Goodness... if you didn't know better, you'd think you were being sarcastic or sarcastic towards the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Wait... are you sure you're not being sarcastic?

Xu Yi then stared with his innocent, wide eyes, "Brother Han, when is my brother coming back?"

"You, you..."

Han Tao lowered his head deeply, not daring to look Xu Yi in the eye.

"Don't you know how your brother is doing?"

"I don't know... I only received his First-Class Merit Medal, and then I heard nothing from him. Do you know where he is now?"

[Guilt Points +800]

Han Tao has been on countless battlefields and has faced countless life-or-death crises.

But never before have I felt such a strong urge to flee.

Seeing Han Tao remain silent, Xu Yi smiled wryly and continued to comfort him, "It's alright, it's alright."

"Although I haven't had enough to eat or wear, and I couldn't afford tuition over the years, it has definitely helped me grow a lot."

For example, if you learn how to deliver food and encounter a difficult customer, just keep bowing your head and apologizing.

I learned how to drive for Ride-Hailing Car and how to work as a designated driver.

I learned how to work on construction sites and apply cement plaster.

I've learned how to carry things up a building with ease, and how to lift 200 pounds using my body.

Having learned how to deliver packages, how to accurately locate each resident in a complex neighborhood.

[Guilt Points +1000]

Han Tao's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Stop talking, or I'll start craving Zisha tea.

Huang Lu, who was standing to the side, was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Brother! I didn't realize you've suffered so much all these years..."

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

Xu Yi smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's all in the past. It was just a little hardship."

Han Tao struggled to lift his head, his voice trembling, "Xiao Yi, I'll make it up to you in the future."

"Okay, Brother Han."

"But I'm going to jail soon. When I get out in ten years, you have to make it up to me, okay?"

[Guilt Points +2000]

Beautiful! A killer shot!

You're really good enough to be the top supporter.

Those around them exchanged bewildered glances.

Is there really anyone this awesome?

They didn't even spare the triathlon.

If I could collect the complete set of the ox and horse armor, I'd be set for life.

Han Tao: "Xiao Yi, wait for me! No matter what it takes, I will get you out. Even if it means losing my official position!"

Ma Chang was shocked. "Calm down, Secretary Han, we're doing a live broadcast right now!"

I'm serious!

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Tao got up and left, clearly to call for reinforcements.

Li Ting simply shook his head; the story was indeed very touching.

But he had seen this kind of situation many times before.

Could anything be worse than technician number 55?

Parents who were in a relationship when they were young, a divorced Younger Sister, a grandfather who was in college, and a grandmother who was in postpartum confinement.

Who is the one who needs his sympathy?

Love rises with the wind, but the bell tolls, leaving a lingering sense of unease.

Add more time!

Once this matter is resolved, I'll add a whole day to the clock.
