The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

ding dong...

A sudden doorbell ring interrupted the violent atmosphere in the living room.

Lu Jindong frowned impatiently and gave the man at the door a wink.

The man pressed the video button on the electronic access control and looked at the people outside the door.

The three men, dressed in plain clothes, looked unremarkable and were strangers.

"Is this Mayor Lu's residence? We are from the Capital Public Security Bureau. We have some questions for you regarding your son's murder."

Lu Jindong took a deep breath and gave a wink to the burly men in front of him.

The group immediately understood and quickly headed towards the back door of the villa.

But as soon as they reached the backyard and opened the back door, they saw a dark gun barrel pointed directly at their heads.

Immediately, a teasing voice rang out, "Oh, where are you headed?"

"We'll give you a ride, get in!"

Meanwhile, inside the front villa, Lu Jindong was completely unaware that the villa gate had been opened.

Three young men in plainclothes entered the living room. As soon as they came in, the woman who had been sobbing on the sofa suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Officer, my son is dead! You must find the murderer who killed him, and I want him to pay with his life!"

The three exchanged glances, remaining unmoved. Lu Jindong frowned, scrutinizing them, and asked:

"Are you from the Capital Police? Let me see your identification."

The man at the very edge pulled out his ID, and the other two smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Lu, he is, we are not."

As they spoke, the two pulled out a special document.

"Let me introduce myself, we are from the National Special Defense Bureau."

Lu Jindong frowned, seemingly sensing that something was wrong, and asked:

"Special Defense Bureau? I've never heard of it."

Silver Moon, who was in the lead, smiled and said, "Oh, this is something that most people don't know."

"We are here because of the death of your son."

He solemnly pulled out a booklet and read aloud:

"According to the Special Defense Bureau's Special Affairs Defense Regulations, your son, Lu Chenhai, was shot dead on the spot by our officers for violating the national top-level secrets secrecy regulations and threatening national security."

"What? What are you talking about?"

Lu Jindong stared wide-eyed, his mind a complete mess from the string of "top secret" and "national security" terms.

He couldn't understand how his son could be involved with these things.

Lu's mother, however, was far less rational and began screaming hysterically:

"What do you mean? Did you kill my son? Did you? You murderers, give me back my son's life!"

Lu's mother lunged at the three of them, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, but a police officer from the capital city immediately used a grappling technique to throw her down onto the sofa.

Yin Yue closed the booklet, looked up at the still bewildered Lu Jindong, and smiled:

"In addition, our bureau is assisting the Capital Police Department in investigating Mr. Lu's acceptance of bribes and involvement in organized crime."

As he spoke, the police officer next to him had already taken out handcuffs. Seeing this, Lu Jindong knew all too well that these people in front of him had come prepared.

He quickly took a step back, pointed at Yin Yue and the others, and said, "What right do you have to arrest me? What qualifications do you have to arrest me?"

Silver Moon narrowed her fox-like eyes and said with a grin:

"Mr. Lu, rest assured, your file isn't entirely clean either. If we investigate further, you'll probably be reunited with your son soon."

He watched with a grin as his colleagues and officers handcuffed the two men and took them away.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of chewing gum, and popped it into his mouth.

A family should be together, right? Lan Ling guessed correctly. What kind of people are parents who can raise such an antisocial personality?

And they keep bringing up who my dad is, ugh, they're really good at ruining their father's reputation!

Yin Yue shook her head: "Isn't that kid from Peking University? Shouldn't he be pretty smart? He really doesn't know what's good for him!"

……

"Hey, Ye Xiao, wake up!"

At night, close to 6 o'clock, the beam of a flashlight swayed across Ye Xiao's eyes.

Ye Xiao rubbed his eyes and sat up groggily.

Lan Ling, who was by the bed, turned on the room's nightlight and put away the flashlight she was holding.

She pointed to the things on the ground and said, "Everything is ready, and we can take action tonight."

"However, I can't do it alone; I have to keep an eye on the monitors at all times."

She pulled out a spatial composition drawing that Liang Kai had previously made from her pocket and pointed to the ventilation opening not far from the camera.

“The ventilation opening is not far from the camera, so I can approach the camera from there and capture the signal.”

“However, the search will be impossible then, so you'll have to do it.”

Ye Xiao nodded. "No problem, I have the key. As long as I can avoid the cameras, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Lan Ling nodded, "Okay, then I'll leave around 1:30. Around 2:00, you can get to the corridor over there, and I'll give you a signal."

"If any special circumstances arise, then the mission will be canceled."

After finalizing the plan with Lan Ling, Ye Xiao left the room and went to the cafeteria. After finishing his meal there, he went directly to meet up with Zhao Huai.

In the live stream chat, a group of fans started discussing what they would have for dinner that day.

[Three Foxes: Sigh, I'll just grab something quick for dinner, I ordered braised pork rice.]

[The Heart of Isaac: Time to go get some sashimi]

[Dali Ben: I'm different. I'm out of living expenses at the end of the month, so I can only eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables.]

[Is the lemon sour or not?: I'm different. I'm at home. Tonight my mom made braised beef brisket, sweet and sour fish, and bought roast goose...]

……

Ye Xiao now deeply regrets it; he shouldn't have looked at the live stream comments.

My stomach rumbled, and my mouth started drooling uncontrollably.

He could only grit his teeth and mutter under his breath, "Damn it, have some decency!"

"Could you please not talk about this while I'm eating?"

[Dr. Dongshan: Doesn't he just want to chat with the host about food?]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: We're all doing this for Brother Xiao, we want you to experience the aroma of delicious food.]

……

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth, "Thank you!"

At mealtimes, fans start discussing their meals, which has almost become an essential part of the live stream.

These guys really don't know how to restrain themselves at all; several governors and captains started showering gifts on the ship.

[The Heart of Isaac: Xiao-ge, let's go get something good to eat]

Ye Xiao was deeply moved. "As expected, you still love me!"

After dinner, Ye Xiao and Zhao Huai met up and, as before, waited for the lights to go out.

The routine patrol was completed smoothly, and Ye Xiao and Zhao Huai arrived at the location of Zone 3 early.

Time passed by, and it was already past midnight.

As the appointed time drew ever closer, Ye Xiao grew increasingly restless and anxious.

I glanced at the sofa next to me, and there was Zhao Huai on it, who was still wide awake!
