Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 121 Li Xiaoyu's Important Day (Part 1)

  —Written at the beginning of the second volume: This story takes place in a fictional parallel world. All content is purely for entertainment and does not refer to any reality.

  ~~~~~~~~~Text~~~~~~~~~~

  Fortress No. 39, the eighth floor.

  Long after the scene that was even more dramatic than a drama, Li Wanye was the first to wake up.

   His expression also changed the most.

  The Li family has always put the interests of the entire fort first. As the lord of the pyramid, Li Wanye has implemented this point even more.

  When Tang Xian was shrouded in red light, he kept trying to stop the trial knight.

  But when those huge fox tails appeared, even though Li Wanye was shocked and regretful, he had no choice but to make up his mind to eradicate all possible scourges.

  He is the father of Li Zheng and Li Xiaoyu.

  The most brilliant person in the entire Li family, he has been paying attention to Tang Xian since the Li family covered up Tang Xian's cheating six years ago.

   Even earlier than Li Zheng. She has always known Li Xiaoyu's true thoughts.

  After the hunting event ended, Li Zheng came to the study several times to suggest that he recruit Tang Xian.

   Although no one knows what happened during the hunting extravaganza. No one mentioned Tang Xian either.

  But Li Wanye is convinced that Tang Xian may have a performance no less than Song Que.

   Until today.

  After what happened today, he was finally convinced that one of his inferences was correct.

  —The crystallization of the natural disaster level boss creature came from Tang Xian.

  Everything can be explained accordingly.

  Li Wanye's expression changed completely, his eyes swept over Li Zheng coldly, and said:

   "I remember you told me that Tang Xian has his own hunter team, and all his team members have been invited?"

  Li Zheng glanced at Li Xiaoyu, his eyes were troubled.

  Li Xiaoyu didn't speak.

   Dongran and Qiao Shanshan didn't speak either.

   It's only now that the two of them understand the apologetic look in Tang Xian's eyes before leaving.

   It turned out that this crop was counted.

   What happened today was too violent for Li Zheng, so that he still didn't believe it.

  He opened his mouth a little worriedly, but stopped talking.

   "I'm asking you something!" Li Wanye shouted in a low voice.

  Li Zheng nodded helplessly.

  Qiao Shanshan and Dongran also stood up at this time.

   Qiao Shanshan said:

   "My lord, I am Tang Xian's team member."

  Qiao Shanshan can already think of the days ahead, which will probably be difficult.

   It was a very scary thing at first, but I couldn't explain the reason. I wasn't particularly scared.

  Dongran looked at Li Wanye and said:

   "Master, I am also Tang Da...Tang Xian's team."

  Li Wanye nodded and said:

   "I will try my best to give you a fair treatment, but now I have to detain you."

  As soon as these words came out, Li Zheng was most anxious.

  He is not worried about the two outsiders. Even if Dongran is a servant of his own family, it's just dispensable in Li's family. Apart from looking better, in Li Zheng's view, there is nothing to regret.

   What he was worried about was Li Xiaoyu.

   Just now, he glanced at his sister, she was terribly calm.

  If there is anyone in this group who cares about Tang Xian the most, it must be Li Xiaoyu.

  So the more she was like this, the more Li Zheng felt that something was wrong.

  The guards around Li Wanye began to **** Dongran and Qiao Shanshan to the interrogation room on the second floor.

  Li Wanye said at this time:

   "Who else has a close personal relationship with Tang Xian, if you stand up consciously, I will try my best to give you justice, but if you hide something at this time and have a chance, don't blame me for being cruel!"

  After changing his past Confucian temperament, Li Wanye is now like an iron-blooded king.

  Li Zheng didn't think his father did anything wrong.

  Everyone saw what happened in the red beam of light. Regardless of whether Tang Xian is the Eden Devil or not, the little girl next to him is definitely a creature in the mining area.

  If it were me, I would probably investigate this matter thoroughly like my father did.

   Thoroughly check Tang Xian's past and connections.

   On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the fortress, and on a larger scale, it is responsible for the entire human race.

   After a while, Shang Lu also stood up and was also taken down.

   Seeing that no one stood up again, Li Wanye did not end the matter.

  Since it is necessary to investigate, it must be thoroughly investigated.

   "Li Zheng, take your sister back to the sixth-floor house. Without my order, she is not allowed to come out, and no one is allowed to see her."

  Li Zheng looked at Li Wanye in surprise. Li Xiaoyu, on the other hand, started to walk calmly.

   "What are you still doing? Am I having trouble speaking?"

"yes…"

  Li Zheng walked to Li Xiaoyu's side. Behind Li Zheng, there was a trial knight activated by Li Wanye.

  The vibrating metal sound made Li Zheng feel that his father was a little harsh on Xiao Yu.

  Looking at Li Zheng's perplexed face, Li Xiaoyu said softly:

"The big family wants face. Brother, my father is right to do this. He taught us not to make mistakes since we were young, because we are more likely to be criticized than others when we make mistakes. severe punishment."

  Li Zheng didn't know what to say.

  Learning from the pain before cutting off the past, he believes Li Xiaoyu has the courage.

  After today, Tang Xian will probably be the enemy of mankind. My sister should be very clear about this.

  Looking at Li Xiaoyu's calm look, he felt a little relieved.

   But this relief soon disappeared.

  Li Xiaoyu said again:

   "But right and wrong should not be judged by him. I am not wrong."

  …

  …

  The second day.

  Everything was as Li Zheng thought, Li Wanye didn't hide his secrets, because he couldn't shut up more than a hundred people.

  Anyone may inadvertently reveal the secret of Eden Devil Boy.

  So he generously disclosed what happened yesterday to the public.

  The announcement of this news caused super big news that affected more than 200 forts in the entire world.

  The existence of doomsday creatures shocked the whole world.

  Academia is not even paying attention to the final conclusion of the Holocaust.

  Because the doomsday-level creature carrier catastrophe-level boss creature invaded the pyramid, almost detonated everyone's thinking.

   Two worlds that are far apart, because of this incident, suddenly there seems to be no distance.

   In less than two hours, relevant news spread throughout all fortress levels that could use the network.

  Even the people at the bottom of each fortress, many people got the news.

  Large-scale arrests and a one-size-fits-all search also started.

  All people related to Tang Xian were included in the search list.

  The old miners who used to have a close conversation with Tang Xian at the bottom were also arranged.

   Liu Lang, the owner of the blacksmith shop in the Thirty-nine Fortress, tidied up his shop after receiving the news that Luo Liuyan had been taken away for questioning.

  After finishing all this work, he sat quietly on the cool chair, drinking a bowl of tea.

  The expression on his face was indescribably complicated.

   After a long time, he relieved himself and said:

   "I thought everyone was bragging, but I didn't expect you to be real. Hahahaha... What a doomsday creature, I am also a friend of doomsday creatures."

   Not long after, there was a visitor outside Liu Lang's door.

   "This water meter can be checked really fast."

   Liu Lang walked out calmly.

   Castle tower fortress.

  After the castle tower was preparing to secede from the federal system, Yu Xiaozhe forged his identity and came to the castle tower to collect information.

  It is no different from the past, he routinely takes a walk in the morning.

   On the sky tree street on the third floor of the castle tower fortress, Yu Xiaozhe saw the news broadcast in the huge TV tower.

  He frowned:

   "Tsk tsk, my reward price has suddenly doubled?"

  I have been very quiet these days. He was a little confused about the situation. Could it be that another fraud case could not be solved and he left it to himself?

  Yu Xiaozhe searched on his mobile phone, which shocked him.

   "Federal wanted criminal Yu Xiaozhe, suspected of conducting transactions with doomsday creatures that endangered all mankind?"

  Yu Xiaozhe quickly found out who the doomsday creature was.

  When he saw Tang Xian's ID photo, he laughed out loud:

   "As expected of you, the starting point of entering the criminal world is so much higher than ordinary people."

  Tightening the windbreaker on his body, pressing down the brim of his hat, Yu Xiaozhe continued on his way.

   Bounties represent status on the Tao.

  Yu Xiaozhe didn't care too much about the increase in the bounty, but in an instant, he changed from a criminal in the financial world to a criminal who colluded with aliens to persecute the earth, which was too fast.

  He is worried that if he cooperates with others in the future, the other party may not agree.

   Fortunately, Yu Xiaozhe escaped a catastrophe after all.

  But Ke Ye didn’t have that luck.

   The gloves he made for Tang Xian cannot be mass-produced, but if some parts are cut out and a castrated version is made, it may be successful.

  Ke Ye, who had been trying to do this, kept his ears to the outside world and focused on the structural design.

  But because of the exaggerated report by the old pedant Wang Qi in the House of Daedalus, only a platoon of regular troops delivered couriers to Ke Ye.

  When Ke Ye was taken out, Li Zhenjiang was furious, and he scolded Wang Qi severely.

  But Wang Qi's remarks about the righteousness of all mankind left people speechless.

  Ke Ye’s crimes are absurd to say the least, but they are not small—providing war equipment to creatures in the mining area, and leaking the formula of human war equipment.

  During the process of being escorted to the Thirty-Nine Fortress, Ke Ye still didn't know what happened.

   Fortunately, weapons and vehicles are the romance of men. As a weapon master, Ke Ye quickly explained the maintenance and modification of weapons, including some weak points that only the designer knew, and let the regular army escorting him tell him what was going on.

  This inexplicable charge, Ke Ye never expected to come from Tang Xian.

  After learning the ins and outs, he was not as open-minded as Yu Xiaozhe and Liu Lang.

  Ke Ye tried hard to recall the past between himself and Tang Xian.

  In the third year, although Tang Xian's personality suddenly softened a lot, he believed that such a Tang Xian could not be the same existence as the devil boy described as extremely cruel.

   "There must be a mistake somewhere."

  After learning that Tang Xian went to the mining area to escape, he was not worried about himself, but Tang Xian.

  …

  …

  First Bastion.

  After being identified as the human commander, Song Que's schedule was full. He attended the party of the 39th Fortress the day before yesterday. After talking with Tang Xian, he rushed back to the First Fortress early the next morning.

   Followed by a series of tedious things. But Song Que also dealt with it seriously.

  Tang Xian is a mountain that he thinks is worth surmounting in a lifetime.

  He was full of expectations to compete with Tang Xian in terms of record in the Jopela Plain.

  The voice in Song Que's mind has become more peaceful these days.

  Man is such that even the all-pervasive disorder of the will seems to be overcome once a friend is willing to bear certain burdens together.

  Until this day, the news spread that the doomsday creatures invaded Fort Thirty-Nine.

  When Song Que saw the news, he was more horrified than anyone else.

  He did not have a long friendship with Tang Xian.

  But whether it was Yu Xiaozhe, Shang Lu, Ke Ye, or Tang Xian's friends at the bottom, when they heard the news, none of them reacted as violently as Song Que.

   Friendship in this world is about compatibility.

  Some friends need to get in touch for a long time before they can gain mutual trust, while others hit it off right away and cherish each other.

   Tang Xian saw Song Que like this, and Song Que saw Tang Xian the same way.

  He looked at the various reports on the screen.

  After learning the ins and outs of the whole incident, Song Que's expression became more divided than ever.

  In an instant, the voice in my mind began to emit a piercing smile and whisper:

"He is clearly the hero of this world, isn't he? He is the savior who truly saved the hunters of Fortress! Look at his end, all achievements were completely denied, and the entire existence was defined as a monster. His friends all Being regarded as a different kind that endangers the world, and suffering injustice!"

   It was not until a long time later that the voice slowly disappeared, and Song Que gradually recovered, his back was soaked in sweat.

  He recalled the conversation with Tang Xian at the party the day before yesterday.

  "You are disappointed with some rules of this world. This sense of disappointment will slowly evolve into disgust, and emotions such as disgust, violence, etc. will become the nourishment for the voice in your mind."

   "But should I allow myself to come to terms with these rules?"

   "This is the answer you need to find. This is an almost unsolvable problem left by the clown."

  Do you allow yourself to be devoured by resentment and disappointment towards unfair rules, or do you numb yourself and gradually adapt to such rules like everyone else?

  He finally understood why Tang Xian said there was no solution to this problem.

  Because no matter how you choose, you will change and become worse.

   Either become a person you hate, or become a lunatic.

  Song Que stared at the mirror blankly. The face in the mirror was full of exhaustion, restlessness, fear, anger, and doubts.

  He was suddenly a little surprised, when did he have so many emotions on his face?

  Song Que tried to show a smile, but this smile didn't have the slightest sillyness of the past, it looked weird and distorted.

   is like a mask.

  He suddenly thought of something.

  Find a pen and paper and start doodling.

  As a true human genius, Song Que has excellent attainments in every technology he has learned.

  Painting is extremely simple for him.

   A mask with a strange smile soon appeared on a piece of white paper.

  He looked intently at the mask on the painting, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

   Vaguely, he seemed to have thought of the answer to prevent himself from falling.

  …

  …

  Fortress Thirty-Nine, a week after the event of doomsday creatures invading the fortress.

  Li Mansion is now heavily guarded, and people originally related to Tang Xian are detained in the interrogation room on the second floor.

  But Li Wanye knew that many of these people were talents.

  He took a gesture of paying enough attention, but he didn't want to wrong these people.

  As he said before, he tries to give these people justice as much as possible.

  So these people were transferred to the Li Mansion on the sixth floor, so that they could settle down.

  No one objected to Li Wanye's handling methods.

  Even low-level people like Liu Lang can feel the cautious attitude of this lord.

   Being imprisoned and turned into house arrest is the most humane treatment Li Wanye can give.

  The small courtyard where Li Xiaoyu lives is the most strictly guarded.

  During this period of confinement, Li Xiaoyu couldn't leave, and couldn't talk to anyone.

   Some news from the outside world was also told by Li Zheng himself to Li Xiaoyu.

  On the surface, Li Wanye did not allow anyone to get close to Li Xiaoyu. But in this week, Li Zheng still met Li Xiaoyu several times, and Li Xiaonian also came once. As the son of the Li family, it is always difficult for the servants to stop him.

  Li Wanye also turned a blind eye to this.

  The gate of the yard slowly opened,

  Li Zheng dismissed a group of people behind him, and whispered in the yard:

   "Wait what father asks later, Xiao Yu, tell me everything you know. This way you can come out sooner."

  Li Xiaoyu nodded. She has been waiting for Li Wanye to summon her.

  Li Zheng was still a little worried, afraid that his sister would say something stupid.

   Finally exhorted:

"Just treat that person as dead. This is good for everyone. He has been to the mining area for a week. During this week, people have been arranged at the checkpoints of each teleportation station. The place where he uses the portable teleportation crack is also patrolled 24 hours a day. .”

"The nerves of the entire Federation are tense now. Everyone's entry and exit records will be recorded, and a new law has been issued urgently to strictly prohibit the trading of teleportation cracks, and the supply of all portable teleportation cracks has been suspended. And open the location tracking in the fortress .”

   "My father is looking for you this time, most likely to talk about your marriage. Follow him."

  Li Zheng said a lot, and Li Xiaoyu calmly agreed.

   "Marriage is a major event in life. You may not be satisfied, but Dad will definitely not wrong you. Today is also an extremely important day in your life."

  Li Xiaoyu smiled lightly.

  Li Zheng realized that he rarely saw his sister showing such a smile, and it was quite pretty.

  It's completely different from the usual look of a boudoir and resentful woman, it's like a different person.

   "An extremely important day in my life? Well... I thought so too."

   "It's good that you think so. Let's go."

   I may only have one update on Saturday and Sunday, but there will be a burst of updates starting from Wednesday.
