"Yumiko."

Liu Zheng looked at her silently for a long time, and finally spoke.

"What's up, Bill?"

"There's something I've always wanted to say to you, now you must listen carefully."

He said.

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."

Yumiko nodded.

"I! F*ck! Your! Mother! You're! A! Big! Idiot!"

Liu Zheng said word by word, then without looking at her expression, he directly crashed headfirst into the sharp protrusion at the front of the car.

"You are dead, game over."

The notification sounded, yet he felt relieved.

"Brother Zheng, didn't you just kill Yumiko again?"

Ace looked at his expression worriedly.

"No, I committed suicide. I really can't stand that idiot anymore, let's stop for now."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, let me know when you feel better."

Ace said understandingly.

After playing for half a month, he knew better than Liu Zheng how unbelievably challenging this game was.

Actually, he too was struggling to hold back his inner urge to kill, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Liu Zheng to play on his behalf.

"Brother Pai, buy me a matching game console and game, I'll study it further when I get back."

Liu Zheng said.

"No problem, I'll buy it for you now."

Ace said.

"This late, is that store still open?"

"It should be closed by now. But it doesn't matter, I'll have the boss deliver it to my doorstep. I'm a super VIP customer, the service is guaranteed."

As he said this, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Alright, it'll be delivered in about half an hour."

After a conversation, Ace said.

"Okay, half an hour is still bearable."

Liu Zheng looked at his phone and said.

"You know, you've really pissed off that Cole guy this time. I heard he locked himself inside a cell and turned off the surveillance. When he came out, there wasn't a single intact body in the whole cell."

Since they weren't playing games, Ace decided to share some gossip.

"Were the people in the cell real criminals?"

He asked.

"Definitely. He went to the maximum-security cell, the people there are undeniably trash and psychos, pure without any dilution."

Ace replied.

"That's good, I'll try to piss him off a few more times in the future."

"Better not."

Ace shook his head.

"Although that guy deserves a beating, his capabilities are unquestionable, becoming the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau is only a matter of time. Unless you join City Hall, you'll surely be no match for him."

"By the way, Brother Zheng, would you like to join the Security Department? I can handle the slot issue, then our family will fully support you climbing up. You just focus on getting promotions and raises at the front, while I enjoy it leisurely at the back."

Ace said with a playful smile.

"Is this the idea of your family?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

"No, it's my own idea."

Ace shook his head.

"I figured as much."

Only knowing each other for a few days, even if he were highly recognized, it wouldn't be possible to make such a huge investment.

"Brother Pai, what are you thinking, pushing me, an outsider, up instead of yourself."

He said, speechless.

"With my limited abilities, if I get up there, it'll certainly be because of my dad. If news of my dad's death comes back, then I'd have no burial ground."

"Brother Zheng, you're different. You have ability and connections, at most I give you a push, then you can stand firm on your own."

"Now you even dared to fight the Criminal Investigation Bureau for that lion, wouldn't it be a breeze to shelter me later?"

"Anyway, you know me, at most, I'd commit minor mistakes like being late, leaving early, or playing games during work hours, nothing that would cause you trouble."

Ace said.

"Then stay as leisurely as you are now. At worst, I won't credit you, being a simple clock-in-clock-out salary thief isn't bad."

Liu Zheng said.

"You gotta stay alert. I used to stay in the office playing my own games, not even having real experiences with colleagues' gossip. Fighting alongside you against the Criminal Investigation Bureau this time made me truly feel the dangers of this world."

"My dad was also a man of power back in the day, undoubtedly offended many. There might be someone with a grudge living long enough to target me, just waiting for my dad's confirmed departure to act and kill me."

"I can't be the strong pillar myself, so I need to find one to lean on. Currently, Brother Zheng, you're the most suitable choice."

This time, Ace spoke from the heart.

"Brother Pai, you're overestimating me, I don't even know if I'll survive tomorrow."

He smiled bitterly.

Even disappearing after instance settlements was no different from dying for people in Metropolis.

"But rest assured, as long as I'm alive, I'll definitely help with whatever you need."

Before Ace could speak, Liu Zheng continued.

"With your promise, Brother Zheng, I feel much more secure."

Ace said solemnly.

"Hehehe, finally I have a reason to refuse my family's pressure to arrange dates."

He laughed suddenly.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

Liu Zheng sensed something odd.

"Hehe, next time they force me to date, I'll say I'm busy maintaining my relationship with you. Such a legitimate reason, they surely can't deny."

Ace said.

People from the Bill family urging him to date was also because he only knew how to entertain himself every day, unwilling to even engage in social activities.

Now that he's finally building connections, the Bill family surely wouldn't be so eager to push him to marry.

"Are you sure they won't think our relationship is weird?"

Liu Zheng asked skeptically.

"Doesn't matter, even if it's something we can't openly talk about, we can still find others to continue the family line."
