Chapter 128
Fu Suxi didn’t exchange pleasantries with Song Guanyu. Instead, he looked once more at the figure outside the command building.
Yu Zhi was alone, smoking. The crimson glow between his fingers was especially conspicuous in the night.
Fu Suxi’s gaze paused for a moment, then he slowly narrowed his eyes.
Yu Zhi rarely smoked. He could, but he almost never did.
“Minister Song Guanqi has told me quite a bit about you,” Song Guanyu said again from beside him.
Fu Suxi ignored him, exhaled a ring of smoke, and continued watching Yu Zhi.
He watched as Yu Zhi walked toward the command building. When he passed a trash can, he pressed the cigarette out against it and then continued forward.
Song Guanyu said, “Team Leader Fu, Minister Song Guanqi said he already knows about your plan.”
Fu Suxi’s gaze still did not leave Yu Zhi.
One kept watching, one kept talking. Meanwhile, the barrage in Fu Suxi’s livestream scrolled rapidly.
[User “FireGodLord” is curious about your plan and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
[User “BigYellowGirl” asks what you’ve figured out and tipped you 50 universal coins.]
[User “SupplementVitaminE” presses you about your scheme and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
[User “Scarecrow’s Straw” desperately reminds you that your temporary lover harbors ill intentions and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
Smoke slowly rose from between Fu Suxi’s fingers, drifting in thin wisps through the air.
Song Guanyu waited for quite a while. Seeing that Fu Suxi continued to ignore him, the polite smile at the corner of his mouth gradually stiffened.
He pressed his lips together, strengthened his tone, and enunciated clearly. “Team Leader Fu, may I trouble you for a few minutes?”
Fu Suxi turned his head slightly to look at him. “You’re already troubling me.”
Song Guanyu said, “You haven’t responded.”
Fu Suxi let out a scoff. “You’re wasting my time and still expect me to cooperate?”
Song Guanyu frowned. “I believe there are some matters you need to be informed of.”
Hearing this, Fu Suxi once again shifted his gaze out the window.
Unable to resist, Song Guanyu stepped forward and followed his line of sight. He saw a slender young man gradually approaching the command building.
The next second, Fu Suxi’s indifferent voice sounded by his ear. “I’m looking at my boyfriend. You have a problem with that?”
Song Guanyu’s mouth twitched. He very much wanted to ask, “Is looking at your boyfriend more important than your plan?” The questioning words lingered on his tongue, but out of good upbringing, he ultimately swallowed them.
He smiled and said, “What I’m about to say is also related to your boyfriend.”
Fu Suxi’s brow moved slightly. He uttered one word: “Speak.”
Seeing that he had finally changed his attitude, a trace of surprise flashed in Song Guanyu’s eyes.
He hadn’t expected Fu Suxi’s breakthrough point to be that suspicious person named Yu You.
He knew Fu Suxi’s true identity and was well aware that Fu Suxi had no brothers at all—the so-called brotherly relationship with Yu You was fake.
Now, however, it seemed the lover relationship might be real.
Fixing his gaze on Fu Suxi, Song Guanyu got straight to the point. “Team Leader Fu, you have publicly sealed off the area around the temporary resettlement zone yet refuse to inform the safe zone’s residents what actually happened. This contradictory behavior, combined with everything you’ve done since taking office as Minister of the Operations Department…”
“I believe you are deliberately worsening the relationship between the Action Bureau and ordinary citizens.”
“Although I don’t yet understand your reasons, deducing from the situation, your actions are correct.”
“I have also discussed your matters with Minister Song Guanqi. He has agreed to let you conduct a pilot program in the S City Safe Zone.”
“Therefore, at this stage, the branch bureau will assist and cooperate with all of your plans.”
At this point, Song Guanyu paused and added, “Of course, if things unfortunately fail, you will bear full responsibility.”
Fu Suxi let out a cold laugh. “When have I ever not taken responsibility?”
Song Guanyu wanted to say something more, but when he met the cold light reflected in Fu Suxi’s sunglasses, his lips moved without sound, and he fell silent.
After a few seconds of quiet, Fu Suxi asked indifferently, “This is what you meant by something related to Yu You?”
Song Guanyu nodded.
Fu Suxi flicked ash from his cigarette. Expressionless, he asked, “What’s the connection?”
Song Guanyu cleared his throat and slowly said, “Yu You is your boyfriend.”
“The connection lies with you.”
Fu Suxi: “…”
“Done talking? Then get lost.”
Song Guanyu’s expression stiffened. He knew that given his identity, Fu Suxi wouldn’t be friendly from the start, but he hadn’t expected that even after extending goodwill, Fu Suxi would still treat him like this.
Just then, Shang Yu’s voice came from the end of the corridor.
“Minister Yu, Minister Song, the new meeting room is ready.”
The words provided Song Guanyu with a convenient exit. He nodded to Shang Yu and turned to leave.
The deputy minister of the command department was waiting not far away. Though he didn’t know what Song Guanyu and Fu Suxi had discussed, even from a distance he could tell Fu Suxi’s attitude toward Song Guanyu was extremely poor.
The deputy minister couldn’t help but whisper, “Minister Song, this Yu Yi is too arrogant.”
Song Guanyu replied calmly, “He has always done as he pleases.”
The deputy minister was startled. There had always been rumors in the bureau that the new operations minister had powerful backing, but no one had ever clearly stated what that backing was or who he was connected to.
Curious, he asked, “Minister Song, do you know his relationship with headquarters?”
Song Guanyu walked straight toward the meeting room and warned, “That’s not something you should be asking about.”
In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared down the other end of the corridor.
Shang Yu watched them leave, then glanced at Fu Suxi, who was still standing motionless by the window. Hesitantly, she called out, “Minister Yu?”
Fu Suxi knew what she wanted to say and replied coldly, “Let them wait.”
Shang Yu immediately fell silent.
Fu Suxi turned his head and looked down at Yu Zhi from above.
When Yu Zhi reached the ground floor, Fu Suxi immediately noticed his wet, dripping hair. He had clearly just showered and hadn’t even dried his hair before hurrying over.
So eager to come here…
Fu Suxi glanced at the barrage again.
As if noticing he had finally looked at it, a familiar ID began spamming.
[User “Scarecrow’s Straw” desperately reminds you that your temporary lover harbors ill intentions and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
[User “Scarecrow’s Straw” desperately reminds you that your temporary lover harbors ill intentions and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
[User “Scarecrow’s Straw” desperately reminds you that your temporary lover harbors ill intentions and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
Taking advantage of that, Fu Suxi asked, “What did he do?”
Shang Yu thought he was asking her and cautiously said, “Minister Song? The command department hasn’t done anything recently.”
Fu Suxi said, “Wasn’t asking you.”
Shang Yu gave an awkward “Oh.”
[User “BigYellowGirl” reminds you that he livestreamed himself running naked in his room and tipped you 50 universal coins.]
[User “PureDesire” reminds you that he was naked in front of multiple people and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
[User “Scarecrow’s Straw” informs you that he used livestream viewers to withdraw a report and reward against a company and tipped you 50 universal coins.]
[User “ClearMind” informs you that he is planning to kill you and tipped you 100 universal coins.]
The barrage said all sorts of things. Compared to talk of streaking or murder, Fu Suxi was more willing to believe what “Scarecrow’s Straw” said.
That user had a grudge against Yu Zhi, and the described behavior would make sense for him. Yu Zhi had always been quick in taking revenge.
After retaliating against Meteorite Biotech, there would be no need for him to come here again.
Fu Suxi took a thoughtful drag of his cigarette.
If Yu Zhi had come now, either the successful report had caused him trouble, or he was preparing to create new trouble.
Fu Suxi said to Shang Yu, “Yu You is here. Go follow him.”
Shang Yu suddenly understood.
So that’s why he had been standing here the whole time—secretly watching his wife in the shadows.
“Whatever he wants to do, let him do it,” Fu Suxi paused, then reminded her, “Don’t reveal that I ordered it.”
“Okay.” Shang Yu suppressed the urge to smile and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, she suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, “What if Brother Yu tries to run? Do we still let him?”
Hearing this, Fu Suxi let out a short laugh. Pale smoke drifted from his lips. “Run? Where could he run to?”
“If he leaves the safe zone, he could run into people from Meteor at any time.”
“He can’t run.”
Shang Yu walked down the stairs in a daze.
So Minister Yu had deliberately taken Brother Yu to Meteorite Biotech back then? On the surface, it looked like he was bringing him to investigate, but in reality he had intentionally let Meteor notice him—letting him see the dangerous world outside with his own eyes, killing off any thought of escape?
No wonder he never imprisoned him…
“Brilliant, truly brilliant…”
“What’s brilliant? Old Shang, you went the wrong way. The meeting room’s over there.”
Zuo Feiyang, who had just come out of the restroom, grabbed Shang Yu and looked at her slightly unfocused eyes in confusion. “What are you thinking about?”
Without hesitation, Shang Yu replied, “‘The Crazy Younger Brother Loves Fiercely—Where Can the Black-Bellied Older Brother Escape?’”
Zuo Feiyang: “???”
……
First-floor lobby of the Operations Department.
As Yu Zhi walked in, he perfunctorily answered the tipping viewers’ questions.
“What am I here for? To be a decent person.”
“Fu Suxi spying on me? He’s sick.”
“What if he’s sick? Then he should just die.”
As he was speaking, he saw Shang Yu walking toward him.
“Brother Yu,” Shang Yu called.
Yu Zhi responded and asked, “Finished your meeting?”
Shang Yu shook her head. “No. Minister Yu just smashed a table to vent his anger, so everyone switched rooms and started again.”
Yu Zhi glanced behind her. There was no one else—only Shang Yu.
Noticing his scrutiny, she quickly explained, “I was kicked out by Minister Yu. Everyone else is still in the meeting.”
Afraid he would ask more and expose her, she changed the topic. “Brother Yu, why did you come to the command department?”
Yu Zhi said casually, “Ran into a small problem.”
Shang Yu’s expression turned serious. “What happened?”
Yu Zhi blinked. “My livestream can’t be turned off for now.”
“What?!” Shang Yu’s eyes widened. “Even if you ask the system to close it, it won’t?”
Yu Zhi nodded. “The system says there’s a malfunction. It can’t be closed for now.”
Shang Yu took a deep breath, her face changing. “Then when you use the bathroom, go to bed—no, take a shower—won’t everything be seen?”
“This isn’t a small problem. It’s a big one!”
The problem was that, as far as she could tell, Minister Yu didn’t have any NTR fetish. Could he tolerate that?
Yu Zhi froze slightly, not expecting such a strong reaction from her, and added, “It started after I finished showering.”
As for using the bathroom—well, he couldn’t really go anyway.
Shang Yu didn’t relax at all. She scratched her head, her brows knitting tighter. “No one in the branch has encountered this issue so far. No one’s ever said their livestream malfunctioned.”
After a moment of thought, she cautiously asked, “Brother Yu, before it couldn’t be closed, did the system say anything?”
Yu Zhi replied, “No.”
Shang Yu continued, “Did you do anything? Or say anything?”
Yu Zhi thought for a moment and said innocently, “I didn’t do anything.”
H0516, who had been secretly observing: “???”
You have the nerve to say that—even I feel embarrassed for you.
[User “PureLoveWarrior” reminds you that you hijacked the system.]
[User “momo” reminds you that you framed a company.]
[User “World’sCutestGirl” reminds you that you deceived livestream viewers.]
[User “InterstellarLoveAcrossUniverses” admires your shamelessness.]
