Chapter 136
Are there still people from Meteorite in the Special Operations Bureau?
Is there still a mole?
Song Guanyu and Lin Xiangyuan both turned to look at Fu Suxi. Seeing that he didn’t respond, they instead looked at He Hanhai.
Aside from Fu Suxi, He Hanhai was the main person responsible for investigating the mole.
With the two pairs of eyes fixed tightly on him, He Hanhai awkwardly explained for his team, “We’re only a few A-class ability users. Now that universal credits can enhance physical fitness, and with system tools in play…”
“Relying solely on mental-sequence abilities can’t guarantee absolute safety…”
As he spoke, he recalled the four days of interrogation at the branch bureau, during which Fu Suxi personally killed dozens of people.
No—dozens had died, and there was still a mole?
Was this the Special Operations Bureau branch, or the Meteorite Biotech branch?
After a moment of silence, He Hanhai couldn’t help but say, “Regarding the mole, I’ll report it to headquarters and have them send specialists to investigate.”
“The situation at the branch is… a bit too serious…”
Song Guanyu didn’t continue that topic. He stepped forward, his gaze passing over Fu Suxi and landing on Yu Zhi.
“Who was that person?” he asked Yu Zhi.
Without changing expression, Yu Zhi lied smoothly. “Don’t know. I didn’t see anyone. He just left a letter at my door. There was also a USB device in it.”
“He said Meteorite is very interested in my ability and wants to recruit me. That device was their show of sincerity. He said I could use it to leave Yu Yi.”
Song Guanyu pressed, “Where’s the letter?”
Yu Zhi: “It self-ignited after I finished reading it.”
Song Guanyu frowned.
A letter left at the door, self-igniting after being read—this was exactly what Qu Xiaonan had said before.
Yet when Yu Zhi said it, his expression didn’t change in the slightest. Song Guanyu couldn’t tell whether he was telling the truth or lying.
He looked at Fu Suxi standing in front of Yu Zhi, then at Lin Xiangyuan and He Hanhai inside the control room—they were Fu Suxi’s people.
And Fu Suxi was protecting him…
After a moment’s thought, Song Guanyu dismissed the idea of forcibly using his ability on Yu Zhi and continued, “Deputy Minister Shang said your livestream can’t be shut down for now.”
Yu Zhi thought for a moment. “I told her myself. It wasn’t Shang Yu who discovered it, and she has no evidence.”
“I coordinated with the livestream users. To enter your crisis control room that stores the videos, they can also provide me with an alibi.”
Song Guanyu frowned even more deeply. Those were words he himself had said before.
He seized the loophole in Yu Zhi’s statement. “Since Meteorite gave you the device, why did you still go to headquarters?”
Yu Zhi replied casually, “I wanted to confirm whether that video was leaked from the Operations Bureau.”
“Why confirm?”
“Better to guard against others than not,” Yu Zhi paused, then added, “And I do intend harm as well.”
Song Guanyu: “…”
Fu Suxi: “…”
After a brief silence, Song Guanyu continued, “How did you give the video device to Qu Xiaonan?”
Yu Zhi glanced at him strangely. “Didn’t you say I have a teleportation ability and could move in and out of the Bureau silently in a short time?”
To make it more believable, he added, “I stayed in the men’s restroom on your fifth floor for quite a while and locked the door. It was during that time.”
Song Guanyu curled his fingers. The metal handcuffs embedded into his palm, the pain forcing him to calm down.
Yu Zhi seemed to be answering, but in reality he was simply repeating their earlier conversation.
And most of those words had come from Song Guanyu himself. Even though he now sensed something was wrong, he had nothing to refute.
A suffocating frustration lodged in Song Guanyu’s throat.
Suppressing his anger, he asked in a low voice, “You deliberately told Qu Xiaonan your real identity. What exactly were you trying to do?”
Yu Zhi replied matter-of-factly, “I wanted to leave Yu Yi. I didn’t want to be forcibly possessed by him. I just wanted him to be my brother—like a father and an elder brother.”
Song Guanyu: “…………”
The anger he had just suppressed flared up again. The handcuffs in his palm were crushed out of shape. His carefully maintained calm tone now carried obvious irritation. “Yu You, do you realize how much trouble your petty emotional dispute has caused the Operations Bureau and the entire Safe Zone?”
Yu Zhi tilted his head innocently. “Has it?”
“Didn’t the Bureau already want to explain the pollution source in the temporary settlement? Weren’t you forced into cold handling because of Yu Yi’s power?”
He spoke confidently. “So not only did I provide the Special Operations Bureau with an opportunity to explain things, I also let all the residents of the Safe Zone learn the truth.”
“Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

[User “Salad Pancake” is baffled yet impressed by your absurdity and has no idea what your plan is.]
Not only were Yu Zhi’s viewers confused—Song Guanyu was even more so.
Thank Yu Zhi?
He’d thank Yu Zhi’s whole family!
Faced with Yu Zhi’s shameless distortion of facts, Song Guanyu’s refined image collapsed. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Do you think this is doing good? You’re only doing it for yourself!”
“You not only killed Qu Xiaonan, you also affected Fu—”
The next second, his voice stopped abruptly.
Fu Suxi had turned around and was staring at him expressionlessly.
It felt as though a basin of ice water had been poured over Song Guanyu’s head.
He instantly realized he had nearly said Fu Suxi’s real name in front of Lin Xiangyuan—and almost exposed Fu Suxi’s plan.
Yu Zhi caught every word, especially the last one—“Fu.”
Fu Suxi’s Fu?
He glanced at Fu Suxi. Seeing the coldness in the man’s eyes, he understood the relationship between the two.
Song Guanyu knew Fu Suxi’s true identity and wanted to help. Fu Suxi, however, didn’t appreciate it at all.
Fu Suxi’s real objective wasn’t Meteorite, but the next main storyline mission—something he would never tell a second person.
In other words, Song Guanyu knew part of it, but not all—he knew what Fu Suxi was doing, but not why.
Song Guanyu thought he was helping, but to Fu Suxi, he was causing trouble.
Yu Zhi blinked slowly and deliberately pressed on. “What did I affect?”
“Did I affect your ability to find the mole?”
“In the current situation, wouldn’t it be more troublesome if there are Meteorite Biotech people inside the Bureau? I’d actually like to ask…”
“Why aren’t you looking for the mole?”
Song Guanyu hadn’t expected that question. He instinctively looked at Fu Suxi.
Fu Suxi lifted his eyelids slightly, glanced at Lin Xiangyuan and He Hanhai pretending to be dead, and said coldly, “Get out.”
The two immediately left without lifting their heads.
Song Guanyu stood there for a moment before turning and leaving.
Click.
The control room door shut.
Fu Suxi turned slightly, his gaze returning to Yu Zhi. He narrowed his eyes slowly. “I didn’t save Qu Xiaonan, so you deliberately confessed?”
Yu Zhi found him inexplicable. “Why would it be for Qu Xiaonan?”
Today was only the second time he’d spoken to her.
He was obviously doing this for himself.
Fu Suxi: “Wasn’t it?”
Yu Zhi let out a cold laugh, imitating Fu Suxi’s earlier pause. “Because I… just hate you that much.”
Fu Suxi: “…”
“You hate me, yet you’re helping me find the mole?”
Yu Zhi smiled without warmth. “Am I helping you? You don’t want to find the mole at all.”
Fu Suxi’s gaze shifted slightly. “Why wouldn’t I?”
Yu Zhi thought: Because you need the mole. You need the Bureau’s movements reported to Meteorite. You need Meteorite to think everything is under control. You also need the system to believe events are progressing as planned…
But he didn’t say that.
Fu Suxi was testing him.
Yu Zhi said clearly, “Because you’re sick.”
He curved his lips into a bright smile. “I don’t need to know why.”
“Since you don’t want to look, I’ll insist on looking.”
The moment he finished speaking, the laziness in Fu Suxi’s expression vanished completely. He became sharp, his dark, narrow eyes piercingly cold.
“Yu. Zhi.”
Yu Zhi lifted his face, eyes full of provocation. “Fu. Suxi.”
The livestream chat exploded. Viewer numbers surged.
Many of Fu Suxi’s viewers rushed over.
[User “Clear-Minded Human” praises your confrontation and hopes you kill him, tipping 50 credits.]
[User “Little Yellow Girl” anticipates your retaliation and tips 50 credits.]
[User “Shoot the Mistress” admires your tit-for-tat and tips 100 credits.]
[User “Wild Female Monkey” eagerly awaits your chaos and tips 50 credits.]
The atmosphere in the control room was tense, ready to explode.
Then, a broadcast broke the silence.
“Hello everyone, I’m Qu Xiaonan. I’m not dead.”
It was her voice—or rather, an ability user imitating her voice.
“The Special Operations Bureau has used another device to shut down the video,” she paused, “and they’ve promised to give all victims and residents of the Safe Zone a satisfactory and reasonable explanation.”
“The device duration is limited. I can only say this much. I’m currently safe, together with the other survivors from the temporary settlement, at Jing’an Community, waiting for further notice from the Bureau.”
The broadcast ended quickly. Silence returned.
Knock knock knock—
The control room door was knocked on. Shang Yu’s voice came from outside.
“Minister Yu, we need to handle this quickly. Headquarters just issued instructions.”
Fu Suxi didn’t respond at first. When Shang Yu knocked again, the standoff ended.
He opened the door. “Lin Xiangyuan stays to clean up.”
“The explanation remains postponed.”
He Hanhai hesitated. “What about the mole?”
Fu Suxi replied coldly, “Report to headquarters.”
“Since the video leaked from Command, Command will conduct its own internal investigation.”
“Everything else proceeds according to last night’s meeting.”
The meeting had decided not to disclose pollution details or Meteorite Biotech involvement—only compensation and reassurance.
Song Guanyu frowned. “What about Yu You? He caused such a huge mess, and you—”
Fu Suxi interrupted, “So what if he did?”
“If Command had been clean, could he have gotten that video?”
Song Guanyu: “???”
Yu Zhi, walking to the door: “……”
He clearly saw the change in Song Guanyu’s gaze—full of hostility and disgust, as if looking at a disastrous femme fatale.
Yu Zhi twitched his lips.
That mad dog Fu Suxi did it on purpose!
Knowing Song Guanyu already disliked him, he deliberately said something so villainous.
Before Yu Zhi could speak, Song Guanyu shot him two fierce glares and left without turning back.
Fu Suxi stepped out, gestured for He Hanhai to bring a communications ability user, then lowered his voice to Shang Yu, “Keep an eye on Yu You.”
Shang Yu nodded.
Then she heard him add, “Don’t let him go to the restroom.”
Shang Yu: “?”
Had she misheard? Why had the topic suddenly jumped to going to the restroom?
She turned to look at Yu Zhi. The words “go to the restroom” echoed in her mind, and her gaze unconsciously drifted downward to the relevant area.
Don’t let him go to the restroom…
Could it be…?
Her pupils contracted.
Three words flashed in her mind:
Chastity. Belt.
