Li Wen: The Clown Was Me All Along

"You still dare to curse me! Keep hitting him..."

[Negative Emotion Points +100 * 4]

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

This also left Xu Yi speechless.

Someone else is hitting you, but you're blaming me?

You deserve to be beaten to death.

Ji Bowen didn't know how long he was 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 passed out, he heard a devilish whisper in his ear.

"Little sister, he's going to faint again... He looks so pitiful. To prevent him from dying suddenly, let's use ice water to perk him up."

"Brother, you're just too kind. People will bully you like this."

*Kind to you, my ******...

This time, he behaved himself, switching to cursing in his mind.

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

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

"Officer, save me! My life is over~"

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

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

"Officer, we were the ones who called the police. This man kidnapped my brother at gunpoint. Arrest him."

Meng Xiang frowned, "We will investigate the specific reasons. Did you beat him until he looked like this?"

Huang Lu's expression returned to its previous coldness, her tone indifferent, "No, he fell himself."

"Right, right..."

Meng Xiang was so amused he almost laughed. He felt like they were treating him like an idiot.

"You all come with me to the Garrison Bureau. After sitting 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, merely looking at him calmly.

"Three, two..."

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

As soon as he finished speaking, 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! Are my words no longer effective?"

"Why?" Meng Xiang asked, a little resentfully.

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

"Alright."

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

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

He was the one who beat someone, and in the end, he was the one being taken in for questioning.

Brilliant!

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

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

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

[Guilt Value +200]

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

[Guilt Value +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 and talk while we eat," Xu Yi suggested.

He hadn't eaten much at the hot pot restaurant earlier because of the eccentric campus belle. Then Yu Xue came and directly fought him for food.

This left him not even full...

Cuiyun Xuan~

The only five-star hotel in Port City.

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, and three refined and beautiful girls stood 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 and respectfully replied, "This is tofu made by grinding Alaskan King Crab and French Blue Lobster meat into a paste and then extruding it."

"..."

"And these lion's heads?"

"These lion's heads are made from Jade Abalone, Black Gold Abalone, Ginseng, White Truffle, and Ginseng, among other ingredients. The soup base is a clear broth simmered from over a dozen types of mountain delicacies and wild Yellow Croaker."

Xu Yi remained silent, only devouring the food with gusto.

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

After a satisfying meal, Xu Yi initiated the conversation.

"Little sister, can you easily resolve Furun Group's crisis?"

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

Little Yi! You don't understand business matters.

Uncle has already pleaded before, and 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 you asked me to help, brother. I'm very happy."

Li Wen: "..."

Should I leave then?

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

Awake from my deathbed in shock, the clown was actually me.

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

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

Li Wen, standing beside them, tensed up again.

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

And this is the head of a young lady from Magic City.

Unexpectedly, Huang Lu closed her eyes in enjoyment, her expression one of bliss.

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

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

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

He, this amazing uncle, hadn't done anything significant for Little Yi yet, and then Little Yi had recognized an even more amazing 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 the situation, Little Yi seems to be planning to live off his girlfriend. Should I try to persuade him?"

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

Inside the private room~

Huang Lu kept putting food onto Xu Yi's plate. Every time she looked up, it was as if she were a baby waiting for praise.

This left the bodyguards behind them dumbfounded.

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

Dude, are you a succubus!

[Shock Value +50]

[Shock Value +50]

[Shock Value +50]

[...]

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

Don't tell me none of you have ever had a girl serve you food 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 exclaimed in surprise, "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?

This is so nice... it warms my cold, dead heart.

"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 for you to run?"

The bodyguards behind them shed tears of jealousy.

Listen to this... is this 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 Store. I wanted to give it to you as a gift."

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

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