A villain's best-laid plans can't beat a fool's flash of inspiration

Li Ting's expression turned serious again. "This time, I guess no one can save us."

Xu Yi shrugged. "Who knows?"

Just as he finished speaking, Li Ting's phone rang.

"What? The Huang family!"

Which Huang family?

" From Magic City...?"

[Shock Points +500]

Li Ting looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Just who are you, kid? Magic City the Huang family Shanghai has to step in to protect you."

"There's no way around it, his personal charm is just too great."

"But it's no use! No matter who comes today, it won't work. I, the prison warden, specifically requested to interrogate you; I can't afford to mess this up!"

The next second, the phone rang again.

"Boss, you can rest assured I can handle things. I'll bring the person over right away."

[Negative Emotion Points +800]

Li Ting's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What? Release them! Why?"

Li Ting remained silent for a long time, listening to Lao Da's long-winded explanation on the phone.

Based on his imagination, Xu Yi could guess a few of the sentences.

MEN!

Have you ever seen Hong City at 4 a. m.?

Municipal Party Committee Building

Zhang Mu watched all this with a smile, "Xu Yi, I've just solved a huge problem for you. How am I ever going to repay this favor?"

Li Ting patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, unable to hide his shock, "Good lad, you're really something. You're the first person the National Security System has ever released on its own initiative."

Xu Yi was equally curious: which powerful figure was helping him so repeatedly?

However, one thing is certain: that big shot definitely prefers to operate behind the scenes.

"Xu Yi, I'm very curious about your identity. Can you reveal some information about it?"

"I?"

"I'm just an ordinary, poor student."

"The world belongs to you, and to us, but ultimately it belongs to us."

"Okay, okay, the Rising Sun, is it?"

Ha ha ha ha...

With their adversaries gone, the two quickly became close friends.

Xu Yi truly hadn't expected that the seemingly honest and unassuming man was actually a secretly passionate guy.

Just how secretly passionate is he? Let me give you an example.

You go to get a foot massage, but you do the opposite of what you expect, wanting to pay the masseuse to wash your feet.

What he's thinking is obvious to any man.

"Sign this agreement, promising not to attack any more websites, and I can finish my mission and go back," Li Ting said, taking out an agreement.

"Can Nahuang Station be attacked?"

Li Ting glared at him. "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. What are you trying to do?"

Xu Yi:...

You're in such a hurry!

Finally, Li Ting drove away.

This farce ended in this ridiculous way.

As for Sun Xiang, he ran away immediately.

Xu Yi didn't bother with him; given the Yin Family's track record, he was definitely doomed.

Yin Kaiyin seems to be from the Yin Family as well, but it's unclear whether he's a direct descendant or a collateral descendant.

But judging from his situation, he is most likely a member of a collateral branch of the family.

Is his chrysanthemum healed yet? My hands are so itchy...

At this moment, Xu Yi admitted that he missed him a little, after all, he was the former top supporter.

Brother, I miss you~

Xu Yi glanced at the two stunning beauties beside him, "Hey~ I was held up by something just now, I'm so sorry."

[Guilt Points +200]

"Brother, it's all my fault. I couldn't help you at all."

Xu Yi gave her a thumbs up, saying, "You're the second person to master self-PUA."

"Should we still buy vegetables?"

"Buy it! I said I'd make it for you, so I'll make it for you."

Yay!

Huang Lu smiled.

What would you like to eat? Feel free to order!

I love eating whatever my brother makes.

Ai Xiaoxing didn't mind the dirt and picked up two chicken feet from the stall.

"These chicken feet look delicious, you're so beautiful!"

Xu Yi:...

This kind of effortful attempt at abstraction is just too awkward.

But out of politeness, Xu Yi still applauded her.

"Xu Yi, I still want to eat boiled cabbage."

"Can."

Huang Lu asked with some concern, "Won't this be too much trouble for my brother?"

Xu Yi waved his hand not to refuse, but to indicate that no further words were needed.

"It's alright, Chef Xu can make anything."

"Then let's have squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, sizzling eel shreds, and shredded tofu..."

"No problem, order whatever you like."

Ai Campus Belle looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Dude, you're really good at this?"

"I used to work part-time as a chef, and I studied for a few years."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

"Brother, I'm sorry~"

Xu Yi:...

Sis, I feel bad about you hurting yourself like this.

Finally, Xu Yi and his two companions bought a lot of ingredients.

However, Xu Yi didn't take them home. The reason was simple: boys need to learn to protect themselves.

We boys are all adorable, sweet, and soft little kittens; women can't help but pet us all the time.

That's too dangerous!

Especially when a man and two women are alone in a room, if they want to do something, they don't even have time to cry for help.

Xu Yi drove them to the Cuiyun Pavilion.

The manager already remembered Xu Yi's appearance, so without saying a word, he directly led them into the Diamond Private Room.

Ai Xiaoxing scoffed, "Weren't you going to cook for yourself? Why are you at a restaurant?"

"The fire at home isn't strong enough, so there's no wok hei (the smoky aroma imparted by a hot pot). And the facilities aren't as complete as here."

After saying that, Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

"Please wait a moment, I'll make the food right away."

What? You're saying customers can't just go into the kitchen?

Sorry, Young Master Xu has plenty of money now.

As a diamond-level member, Xu Yi could even have a ladder handed to him with a smile if he wanted to climb onto the roof and pry off tiles.

"Miss Huang, are you really sure Xu Yi can cook?"

Huang Lu nodded emphatically, "I'll believe whatever my brother says."

Huang Lu: Your uncle spoils his dad...

"I just don't believe it. How could a person have that much energy?"

Huang Lu's face suddenly turned cold. "If you speak ill of my brother again, I'll kill you."

Ai Xiaoxing: Sometimes I really want to call the police.

Sharing a room with a woman who's both a brother-obsessed and yandere, Ai Campus Belle, felt like there were nails on the chair.

After struggling for a moment, she stood up. "I'll go see how Xu Yi is doing?"

You shameless woman, trying to seduce my brother again? I'll see if I give you the chance.

After saying that, she didn't say another word and walked towards the Kitchen first.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw Xu Yi cutting ingredients with astonishing knife skills.

[Shock Points +50]

Dude, you're really something!

We agreed to do abstract art together, but how did you manage to quietly amaze everyone?

Xu Yi handed the young master to the head chef who was assisting him, saying, "I still have a few other dishes to prepare."

You can stir-fry this dish for me first, and then the presentation must be exquisite.

Head Chef:...

Why don't you just tell me to make it?

"Xu Yi, I'm here to help you!"

Ai Xiaoxing shouted and immediately plunged her fair, delicate hand into the pile of eels.

"I'll help you clean the eel."

"Be careful, this is a deadly weapon."

In my humble opinion, it's not as good as Pinocchio's nose.

Guys, does anyone understand? It's really embarrassing to encounter a girl who makes lewd jokes all the time.

I'll go get you a basin.

"No need, just pour it into the sink."

"Stop!"

Before Xu Yi could stop her, Ai Campus Belle had already shoved all the eels into the pool.

And that was it.

The eels all went into the sewer through the drain.

Xu Yi laughed in exasperation, "If you were Sun Xiang, I'd probably be in jail by now!"

Why? Is it because I'm very smart?

"A villain's elaborate schemes are no match for a fool's quick thinking."
