The Special Investigations Division acted quickly.
The adoptive parents were taken back to the Security Department. It was not so easy for them to escape, and further investigation into the details of the case was still underway.
Sui Zhengfan did not go back with Corey's agents. He arranged all the follow-up work, took the rescued boy with him, and got into the Sui family's car with Nie Chi.
"It's strange, why are there so many people suddenly coming to grab a child?"
The detectives stayed in the house to collect evidence, and someone quietly looked downstairs, "I don't know what it is... Do you know?"
He was asking about the two new agents. They looked unfamiliar to him. They were brought directly by Section Chief Sui this time. They might know something about the inside story. "By the way, wasn't Section Chief Sui on a confidential mission? Why was it suddenly cancelled? And when was the young master of the Pu family found..."
The agent being questioned pushed up his glasses, touched his thumb, and looked back at his companion.
"It's all confidential. We have no control over it."
Dai Lei came over with a smile: "Okay, okay, get to work. I'll invite you to watch the dance performance later. I have an inside ticket, first row, so you can see it clearly."
People can't help but be curious: "What's so good about dancing? Why do you like this?"
"It's you who don't appreciate it."
Dai Lei was particularly mysterious and waved his hand: "Let me tell you, there is a pair of young couple dancers who just came to the capital, and they dance very well..."
The agents chatted for a while, but in the end they couldn't come up with anything "secret", so they decided not to delve into it further.
Dai Lei spoke in a serious tone, which attracted quite a few people. While the agents were working, they asked about the dance performance tickets in Dai Lei's hand.
Yu Tang was lying on the car seat covered with a blanket when he suddenly heard a familiar mechanical sound in his mind.
"Host!"
The system rushed in: "The Book Bureau has received an alarm. It seems that an unknown person has also sneaked into this book. Now the plot line has completely gone out of control—"
Yu Tang yawned, waved to the system in his sea of consciousness, and turned over wrapped in a small blanket.
system:"… "
According to the plot, this book has fast-forwarded to the moment when Yu Tang is undergoing his first assessment at the Book Transmigration Bureau.
Zhan Chen was recovered by the terminal, lost his original memory, and became a piece of data in the supervisory department.
In order to find someone, Yu Tang was lured all the way to Chuanshuju. In order to find Zhan Chen, he agreed to enter the newcomer assessment world.
Zhan Chen was originally just an invigilator, but he couldn't help himself and also took on a role in the examination world. They lived in other people's stories for eight years.
…
According to the system's prediction, the biggest change in this plot is that Mr. Zhan, the invigilator, has changed his role choice and, as the heir of the Sui family, has a true childhood love affair with the host who has registered with his real name.
The system opened the door to the game world and rushed over in a hurry, ready to cooperate with Mr. Zhan from inside and outside as soon as he entered the assessment world, and directly steal the host away from the adoptive family.
… Unexpectedly, when it arrived at Yu Tang’s sea of consciousness, Yu Tang was already on the way to Sui’s house.
"Host, how many other people have entered this book?"
The system was worried: "We checked and received at least three abnormal alarms..."
Yu Tang counted on his fingers: "At least thirty people."
system:"… "
Yu Tang was a little curious: "What will happen if the plot gets out of control?"
The system, with a screen full of worried snowflakes, was making an emergency contact with the game world, but was suddenly stunned when he heard the words.
…It doesn’t seem like anything will happen.
Not destroying the main plot was the original requirement of the bookstore to the supporting role department. To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than protecting the rights and interests of the protagonist. As a supporting role, you must not rob the protagonist of his resources, and no matter what you do, you must serve the protagonist.
But now, there are no so-called "protagonists" and "supporting roles" anymore.
This is a completely free book with a completely open ending. Even if the host and Mr. Zhan get married directly after reaching the legal age, there will be no problem.
The system was aware of this matter and finally couldn't help but say happily: "It's okay! Host, we can play games for as many hours as we want!"
Yu Tang was speechless. He withdrew his mind back to his sea of consciousness and gave the system a handful of candies that Pu Ying's grandfather had just stuffed into his pocket.
He actually didn't expect the current situation.
When he first entered this book, he was a scourge that humans wanted to avoid, an electronic storm that even lost the humans it had raised, and a "wild boy" in the eyes of his adoptive parents, who couldn't even write properly and couldn't speak slightly complex words fluently.
This was also a trap set by the terminal. The terminal refused to give him normal parents, nor would it let him come into contact with NPCs who were even slightly kind.
This treatment was also extended to Yu Tang's future life.
The terminal took so much pains and made so many adjustments simply because it didn't want him to meet a human being who was even slightly better.
These were just some small favors they had received at the time, so they all put down their work and went back to this book to find him, specifically to support the humans who backed the Electronic Storm.
Yu Tang held the blanket and moved to the corner.
Noticing Sui Zhengfan's gaze looking down at him, he closed his eyes, pulled the blanket over his head inconspicuously, and pretended to be asleep dutifully.
He was a little nervous.
When he entered this book, he was ready to escape by jumping out of the window, waiting for Senior Zhan to come find him.
… He actually never thought that besides Senior Zhan, Little Red Card, Little Blue Card and Pu Ying, there would be humans who liked him too.
Nie Chi held the steering wheel and glanced at Zhuang Yu next to him.
He took sick leave and went back to work at Chuan Bookstore. He originally just wanted to use his identity as a professional manager to find an opportunity to steal Mr. Xiao Yu away from the adoptive family.
Who knew that as soon as I got downstairs, I saw more than one familiar car.
"Captain." Nie Chi whispered, "You didn't say you asked for leave for this..."
Zhuang Yu glanced at him and said, "You've even been asked to take sick leave. What can I do? We both sprained our ankles on the same staircase."
Nie Chi coughed, pressed his lips together, turned his head back, and continued to concentrate on driving.
"The instructor has come back in person, so we definitely can't beat him."
Zhuang Yu gestured to him and whispered, "As a manager in the Sui family, remember to provide more opportunities for Mr. Zhan..."
Nie Chi couldn't help but remind him: "Captain, they are not yet adults—"
"…" Zhuang Yu: "Get along well with your family, relax a little, and don't let things get awkward."
Nie Chi: “…”
After Zhuang Yu finished speaking, he patted the deputy captain's shoulder and looked into the rearview mirror.
Sui Zhengfan sat in the last row of seats, looking down at the small ball of blanket rolled up in the corner.
His eyes were focused, his hands were clenched into fists and placed on his knees, he looked more awkward and helpless than ever before as an instructor.
Sui Zhengfan has never really been a father.
Not only was their child kidnapped three times, but his existence was wiped out - he and his wife spent almost all their experiences with the Security Department and the Special Forces.
Without even thinking back, he told the age, physical data, and subjects that each member of the special forces team was good at.
He had heart-to-heart talks with every team member, pointing out which team member had an unstable mentality, which team member was too competitive, and which young soldier liked to drink Coke but could only grow as tall as other adult team members by eating nutritious meals.
… But Sui Zhengfan and his wife didn’t know their son at all.
They just knew from phone calls with their family that the child was very smart, had good grades, but had a stubborn temper.
Occasionally, his family would send him a message saying that his son had again conflicted with the group arranged by the family.
The child has always been named "Zhanchen" after he was in the orphanage. He is too stubborn and never wants to grow up according to the expectations of his elders. Sui Yingshi, the head of the Sui family, is always so angry that he throws his crutches, but he admires this uncontrollable child more than anyone else.
Sui Zhengfan and his wife had an accident and disappeared in an electronic storm. In fact, the Sui family did not agree with Zhan Chen becoming an agent.
After being adopted, Zhan Chen had only met Sui Zhengfan and his wife a few times, and every time they met, the time they spent together was limited.
Sui Yingshi assured Zhan Chen that the Sui family would not treat him badly because of the sacrifice of Sui Zhengfan and his wife.
Sui Yingshi promised that no matter whether he was the biological child of Sui Zhengfan and his wife or not, as long as Zhan Chen did not run away and do something idle, they would give him a Sui family name and he would still be the heir of the Sui family.
…
Not long after that, the Sui family received news that Zhan Chen had died unexpectedly during a mission.
After a while, everyone suddenly forgot the name "Zhan Chen".
As if erased and rewritten by an invisible hand, the gentle and stubborn young man in their memory disappeared, and was replaced by a man who was determined to enter the entertainment industry and become the successor of the movie emperor, and also had his eyes on a popular little star.
When he was quiet, Sui Yingshi would sit alone in the tea room, slowly make a cup of tea, and look at the unclear shadow in the curling steam.
—He no longer remembered who this was, but he always felt that there should be a very quiet boy sitting here.
His brows were gentle, his black eyes were bright and sharp, and his shoulders and back were straight as if they would never bend.
He was a boy who was determined to make the best unmanned autonomous mecha, upgrade the alliance's weapon system, and create more effective weapons and equipment so that his parents could return home.
Sui Yingshi sent Nie Chi to help Sui Si's studio, secretly providing resources to Sui Si's studio to settle the countless troubles caused by Sui Si.
He watched as Sui Si's actions became more and more absurd, but he still insisted on his own way and refused to cancel Sui Si's status as heir.
He just wanted to figure out where the child whose memory was becoming increasingly vague had gone.
The child left by Zhengfan and his wife should not be named Sui Si. Sui Yingshi always felt that he should not be called Sui Si, and he did not like acting and becoming a star. He remembered that he was the most lovable child he had ever seen.
Sui Si's absurd behavior eventually ended up with him being expelled from the Sui family.
Sui Si was the heir of the Sui family and was deprived of all his property. Sui Yingshi came to see him in person and found a letter that appeared out of nowhere while sitting in the carriage.
The letter was written in military code, beneath a layer of mist covering the car window.
The letter asked him to leave the property to the young man who had fake marriage to Sui Si, Sui Si's assistant and the actual head of the studio.
This matter was actually very absurd, but Sui Yingshi did not take it seriously, thinking it was just someone's elaborate prank, and asked Nie Chi to wipe off the moisture on the window.
—But just when that layer of fog was easily wiped away, a strange picture suddenly popped up in Sui Yingshi’s mind.
The young man brewed tea in an orderly manner, with curls of steam rising from the green tea soup.
In my memory, the boy raised his hand and wrote stroke by stroke on the misted transparent screen.
In front of him, in the corner of the car window that had not been wiped in time, were the only two words that were not written in code.
Metaphor hall.
…
Yu Tang shook himself gently and opened his eyes.
The car stopped in front of Sui's house.
Yu Tang just woke up from a dream without Zhan Chen. He had ten thousand such dreams - dreams are part of human's subconscious, and if you get used to dreaming, you will get used to it in reality.
The data of this body still retained the nature of dreaming. Yu Tang was covered in a blanket and woke up for two seconds before coming out of the dream.
Sui Zhengfan was sitting next to him.
According to the human etiquette that little S7 taught him, when Senior Zhan was not around, he was responsible for calling him dad.
…
Yu Tang cleared his throat, untied the thin blanket, climbed up steadily and was about to speak, but suddenly he heard very familiar footsteps.
The car door opened and a pair of hands embraced him.
Nie Chi just got out of the car and walked around. When he saw the person coming, he shrugged slightly, folded his arms and moved away from Zhuang Yu.
Zhan Chen stood outside the car.
He seemed to be still in his teens, with his chest slightly hunched and his ears slightly red. He leaned towards Sui Zhengfan and thanked him solemnly.
Zhan Chen reached out his hand, wrapped Yu Tang in his arms along with the blanket, and ran back to his room.
