Ansuo felt that she had no regrets in this life. The food at this hotel was something she had never dared to dream of before.

It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either. However, if life continues like this, there's no chance of ever having the chance to try turning Ansuo into Originium crystals.

At this moment, Ansuo had no regrets.

Therefore, no matter what Master Huang plans to do to her next, she has no intention of resisting.

Whether it's sordid or noble, if the other party doesn't mind the Originium crystals on their body... But how could that be possible?

I'm infected, someone everyone hates.

The people of Utopia certainly don't care, but who knows? I've never been to Utopia.

"Sir, thank you for the invitation today. So, could you explain why you're being so kind to me? If it's a transaction, then do whatever you want to me, even throw me into the incinerator. Or are you planning something else?"

Ansuo at her clothes, only to be glared at fiercely by the man in front of her, before shaking her head helplessly.

It's not that this little rabbit is belittling itself; it's just that it shouldn't see the world as so wonderful.

Because many things weren't written in the story, what if this world didn't have so many decent people, so many deep-seated grievances, and also didn't have Originium Infection?

Ansuo's life may well be far more tragic than the original story.

Ironically, the most hateful pain became the little rabbit's protective shield.

Moreover, many people don't end up in this state after contracting Originium Infection. In many cases, it's difficult to say whether Originium Infection is a protection or a harm for certain groups.

At least this little purple rabbit is innocent, and thanks to the Originium Crystals on her body, no one dares to harm her.

Huang Cao always felt that with her current status, it would be a waste of her time travel if she didn't change something. This was also what the Miss Doctor had been worried about before she woke up.

So he made his move.

"Ansuo, that's what everyone here calls you. Interested in working for me? Two gold coins a month, with opportunities for promotion and salary increases later."

"I have a job? But I can barely read any words."

"Don't worry about that. Opportunities to work for Utopia are rare, but your nationality... Although you didn't originally have an identity card or household registration in Yan Country, I won't change your social status casually until you want to make a choice in the future."

"Sir, you speak in such a formal and literary way that I can't understand you, but if I could eat so much delicious food every day, I would be happy!"

Ansuo has always lived in the Lower City, as long as he can survive...

Because she had no other choice in the past and still does now, her long-term dark life has made her think of the worst possible scenario when faced with an invitation from a stranger.

"So what do you want me to do? You wouldn't actually have taken a liking to me, would you? Let me make it clear first, you have to be gentle with me afterwards, but it's up to you. Just be careful with the Originium."

Originium is also a way to protect oneself, and Ansuo also desires unrestrained freedom.

But she knew very well that some poverty was not caused by Originium Infection.

But she had to survive before she could be free; as a rabbit, she didn't really have such grand ambitions.

In the Lower City of Lungmen, everyone is trying their best to survive.

Being kept by Ansuo was kicked out by her parents.

As a notorious thief in the Lower City, faced with the man's solicitation, she could only use all her resources in an attempt to earn a living in the long run.

As a Cautus, she was very content.

Although she had only done petty theft, she had never done anything particularly daring, nor did she have the guts to do anything truly audacious.

Huang Cao took a very long chopstick and tapped the little rabbit hard on the forehead.

"First of all, you should call me Mr. Huang. And do you really think I'm that kind of person? Saying things like that to a married man is like trying to sow discord within a family. I just want you to work for Utopia."

"But before that, I'd like to hear your thoughts on your parents."

Ansuo lowered his head and remained silent, the scene of being kicked out of his home seemingly still vivid in his mind.

That's life in the slums, and it's especially true in Cautus.

There were many brothers and sisters in the family, and the poorer they were, the more children they had. In the end, when there was really no food left, they had no choice but to be kicked out of the house.

But the little purple rabbit didn't hate her parents, because it was the only way out; at least on the day she was kicked out of the house, her parents were crying.

That alone made her very satisfied.

Ansuo lowered her head and said, "If I could, I would like to give my parents a better life. If I ever get a salary in the future, I would like to send some money back home..."

Huang Cao couldn't bear to see anyone suffer in front of him, especially the little rabbit that had appeared in the story. He touched Ansuo's ears with a pang of heartache.

"You are a thief, that's undeniable, but you can make amends. So are you willing to dedicate your life to helping more people escape suffering, so that the weak no longer have to endure the threat of sin and hunger?"

Ansuo's eyes sparkled. "I'm almost embarrassed by what you're saying. Am I really that important?"

Huang Cao nodded. "It's difficult for one person to achieve this, but in the future, countless people with the same dream will strive for the same goal, and you will become one of them. So, are you willing to join Utopia?"

"I... I'm willing to join Utopia!"

Ansuo buttoned up his collar and sat very upright in front of Master Huang, saying...

"That's what a good girl should be like." Huang Cao nodded in satisfaction. "Take this ID card for now. Go back and pack your things. Be back here before 6:00 PM tonight. After dinner, go to the Utopia School for some serious study."

"I will also have people keep a close eye on your parents to prevent any accidents, but whether you can change their lives depends on your efforts."

Chapter 679 They're persecuting Wei Lao Er again.

Huang Cao added:

"You'll definitely feel uncomfortable at first, but I believe in you. You can change your bad habits, and you can definitely become a noble and hardworking person. Utopia's love can embrace everything about you and correct it."

The man's tone was gentle yet firm, sending a long, seemingly endless warm current through my locked heart.

"I will certainly not let you down. Even if you send me to fight, I will definitely charge to the front!"

Huang Cao: "I believe you."

All the words in the world can be summed up in these four words, along with Master Huang's warm, large hands.

Huang Cao's smile was as warm as the sun, and he grasped An Ansuo's thin hands with his warm hands.

About half an hour later, after the little rabbit finished eating the last bit of leftover food on the table, she said goodbye to Master Huang and returned to her tin house.

I packed my bags and prepared to head to the faraway utopia.

That will be a novel and long journey, after all, her life will not be frozen in her twenties, but will be a century.

Huang Cao watched the purple-haired rabbit's departing figure from afar, and a great sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

That's just the kind of person he is.

I wouldn't abandon someone's future just because their social status is so different from mine. Although there's some bias from the storyline involved, why dwell on it so much?

I was just helping out casually; I didn't lose anything.

There's no need to get caught up in the so-called interests and values in everything, especially since Huang Cao truly believes that Ansuo will become a valuable asset to the Utopia intelligence agency in the future.

After delivering the little rabbit, Master Huang heard footsteps again, accompanied by the clanging of metal.

The Lungmen Guard Department has arrived.

"Officer Chen, welcome to my little shop. Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

Huang Cao turned around with a smile, only to find his hands were now handcuffed, but the handcuffs were loose, as if they didn't want to make things difficult for him.

The officer at the head of the group, named Ch'en, had a serious expression on his face.

"So I'm going to take diplomatic steps?" Huang Cao said.

Ch'en didn't even look up. "Sir, someone just reported you for participating in a group fight. Come with us to make a statement."

"Officer Chen, would you like to see who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. Don't worry, I will give you a fair outcome, but before that, please come with us to give a statement."

Huang Cao turned to look at the other police officers following behind Lao Chen. Clearly, these youngsters didn't recognize him either...

Well, that's somewhat understandable.

After all, apart from his face, Master Huang's image is quite varied. Many people recognize him, but there are also quite a few who don't.

Their size varies, and most people don't really pay much attention to what foreign leaders actually look like.

Many people don't even know what their own country's leaders look like, let alone talk about others.

The police couldn't believe that the rulers of Utopia would actually appear in Lungmen.

Huang Cao suddenly felt a bit playful. "My suggestion is to inform your governor. Maybe there will be other gains? Rhodes Island can be docked outside."

"Are you from Rhodes Island?" Ch'en asked. "But that's no excuse for you to get into fights. Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. Those guys said you robbed them, but judging from your outfit, you don't seem like someone who's short of money."

Ch'en continued to explain, "There isn't enough evidence at the moment, so we'll have to trouble you to come with us to the police station. If the handcuffs are uncomfortable, I can remove them for you now."

"No need, just please inform Commander Wei."

Huang Cao still wore that sunny expression, but in reality, he was already preparing to watch the show.

Ch'en wasn't afraid of trouble. After getting the guy's permission, she sent his face photo to her uncle.

"Even if you have a personal relationship with Wei Yanwu, you won't receive any preferential treatment from me."

"How could I dare? Miss Chen, may I ask your age?"

"My information is marked on the Lungmen Guard Department, 24 and 5 months ago. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's nothing, you were just much cuter when you were little than you are now."

Upon hearing this, Ch'en's mind suddenly went blank, and she frantically searched her memory.

It seems that apart from Talulah, her uncle, her mother, and that man, she didn't know many people during her childhood.

Even his studies were conducted by private tutors in the governor's mansion; it was only at university that he truly came into contact with the outside world.

I've met very few people throughout my life, and this person is nowhere to be found.

She silently kept her doubts to herself, planning to ask Wei Lao Er for clarification that evening; perhaps he was a distant relative.

Ch'en just didn't expect that some people would return even faster than she did.

Before the police cars even arrived at the Lungmen Guard Department, a line of luxury cars had already been laid out outside, and even a red carpet had been laid out.

Wei Yanwu and Aunt Wenyue were standing at the door, their faces unusually serious.

Ch'en swore she had never seen the two of them so nervous.

Could it be that I've captured the Emperor of Yan Country? But this guy doesn't have horns on his head.

In fact, Wei Yanwu would have preferred that the emperor of Yan Country was detained this time, at least it would be a family matter and wouldn't involve Utopia.

"Miss Ch'en, it looks like you're going to get a scolding today," Huang Cao said with a smile.

Ch'en lacked confidence. "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just enforcing the law impartially, and besides, sir, I didn't mistreat you, did I?"

"In some ways, I am more terrifying than the True Dragon of your country, but that's not your fault. It's just that I have no choice in my position. Not many people dare to accept my goodwill because, for them, it's a huge gamble."

When the police cars arrived at the entrance of the Lungmen Guard Department, all the officers wished they had four legs and quickly, but with perfect form, lined up on the other side.

To be honest, Huang Cao really admires Ch'en's toughness.

Because the other party's behavior was in accordance with the local laws of Lungmen, the former was indeed engaging in illegal fighting, and the latter genuinely did not know the ins and outs of the matter.

However, sometimes when a person has enough influence, things can develop in ways that exceed everyone's expectations.

Not to mention that this was just a small matter, and besides, Master Huang was acting in self-defense.

Therefore, in order to avoid any diplomatic mishaps, Wei Yanwu had to first make a grand show of force, so that if trouble were to break out later, he wouldn't be held responsible.

No one can guarantee that this isn't a utopian conspiracy designed to instigate war.

After all, this person has a notorious reputation...

At this time, Wei Lao Er was unaware that his good younger brother had formed an alliance with Master Huang.

"Ms. Ch'en, please come this way."

Aunt Wenyue pulled Ch'en to her side with a serious expression, but there was no anger in her tone.

Compared to her husband's anxious and fearful appearance, she felt much more at ease.

Women are, after all, more emotionally sensitive beings, while relationships between men tend to be more rational, but sometimes it is through emotion that more opportunities can be discovered.

So when Wenyue saw the smile on Master Huang's face, she felt relieved.

Although the other person was much older than me, his demeanor and tone of voice were unmistakable.
