【Ding! Key Plot Point Task completed.】
【Successfully caused Protagonist Lu Zhou’s sister to be abducted, separating the protagonist from his most cherished family member. Reward: 1000 Points. Current Points: 3641.】
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. Points have reached three thousand. System permissions have been upgraded. Would you like to perform bug fixes?】
Xun Ji drowsed on the bed, barely mustering the energy to ask, “What bug fixes?”
The System replied happily: 【Host, Host, the bug caused by the existence of the other Redemption System can now be fixed!】
“How much?” Xun Ji already knew the System’s tricks all too well.
The System: 【10 Points! A special bargain!】
Xun Ji’s mind blurred, his eyelids unable to hold up any longer. Upon hearing the price, he waved his hand grandly. “Fix it!”
Just a mere 10 Points… No reason not to fix it if it was free.
【Beep! Beginning System bug fix now. Intelligent services temporarily disabled. Estimated fix time: 72 hours.】
Xun Ji didn’t even finish listening before he fell into a deep sleep.
“Chapter 105: Little Sister
…
Lu Zhou tumbled miserably to the ground, his face swollen without a single intact patch of skin. He pried open his eyelids, smashed bloody and mangled by the Wolf Fang Mace, and stared deathly at Xun Ji.
“Give me the phone!”
Xun Ji’s lips curled in a careless smile as he tossed a mobile phone up and down in his hand nonstop.
“Kindergarten Teacher Chen? Calling you so late—could she be your girlfriend?”
The surrounding underlings burst into laughter.
“This little beast’s got game, hooking up with a teacher!”
“…She’s my little sister’s teacher,” Lu Zhou suppressed his rage. “Calling me at this hour means something must have happened to my sister. Give me the phone quick!”
Xun Ji threw the phone to the ground and crushed it viciously underfoot. The screen cracked with a “crack.”
“You!” Lu Zhou lunged forward, but a Wolf Fang Mace hammered the back of his head heavily, sending him crumpling softly to the ground.
“Put the collar and mask on him. The Hunting Shadow Game is about to start.”
Xun Ji kicked the person on the ground. “Little sister? A mere ant who can’t even save himself still has the mind to worry about others.”
…
When Lu Zhou woke in the hospital, three days had already passed since Lu Ting’s disappearance.
According to the police, they suspected a gang of traffickers from out of town. Though the kindergarten teacher had reported it immediately, days of searching yielded nothing.
“We checked the surveillance. Xiao Ting snuck out in the middle of the night.” Kindergarten Teacher Chen wiped away tears. “She’d been crying for her brother before bed. I called you but couldn’t get through, so I coaxed her to sleep. I never thought she’d…”
The young teacher sobbed uncontrollably.
Lu Zhou sat motionless on the hospital bed like a stone statue, his face expressionless, his eyes devoid of tears. Time seemed to freeze around him.
And it stayed frozen for three years.
Lu Zhou dropped out of Yaoxing Academy. No one knew where he went. Some guessed he went to find his sister; others thought he was dead.
It wasn’t until three years later, at Little Young Master of Xun Family Xun Ji’s birthday banquet, that they saw Lu Zhou again—utterly changed beyond recognition.
…”
Lin Yule closed the original text with a blank expression.
“Yu Ge, are you listening?” A conflicted voice came from the other end of the phone. “Lu Zhou’s sister is gone. He’s gone mad searching but found no trace. Sigh, it’s so pitiful. Should I send some people to help look?”
Lin Yule sneered. “Luo Xunan, have you gotten addicted to playing his friend?”
Luo Xunan sounded indignant. “How is it playing? I’ve always treated him like a real friend! You and Young Master Xun don’t get it at all.”
Hearing Xun Ji’s name, Lin Yule’s eyes darkened.
“You don’t need to look. His sister… she’ll come back on her own in a couple days.”
“Huh?” Luo Xunan was stunned. “How do you know?”
He sucked in a cold breath. “Don’t tell me you abducted his sister?!”
“I don’t have that kind of ability.” Lin Yule snorted. “I told you not to bother—just leave it. Someone will handle Lu Zhou’s matters.”
“Yu Ge, why does that sound so sarcastic?”
Lin Yule grew impatient. “You still have the nerve to yap at me? You couldn’t even run a Hunting Shadow Game properly—got the whole thing busted, then expelled. Total waste!”
Luo Xunan whined, “You see who busted it! If it were anyone else at Yaoxing Academy messing with me like that, I’d make them wish they were dead, but…”
“You dare touch Xun Ji?” Lin Yule’s tone turned ominous.
“Of course not!” Luo Xunan nearly cried. “Even a hundred times the guts, I wouldn’t dare!”
“Sigh, why do you all treat Young Master Xun like he’s made of glass or something?”
Lin Yule frowned. “You all? Who’s the other one?”
Luo Xunan blurted out, “Who else? Lu Zhou. You don’t know—the night at the Botanical Garden was epic. They…”
He suddenly stopped.
“They what?”
Luo Xunan hemmed and hawed. “Yu Ge, my phone’s about to die. How about…”
“Speak.”
“…You insisted on knowing. Don’t fly back on impulse after hearing, or if Young Master Xun holds you accountable…”
“Out with it!”
Luo Xunan cleared his throat and enunciated clearly: “Xun Ji and Lu Zhou—they kissed!”
Xun Ji went to school, ate, slept, and played games as usual. In between, he visited Yu Fangbai in the hospital once.
The man remained comatose, unknown if he’d ever wake. Xun Ji had the Yu Family gather Yu Fangbai’s paintings and hold an exhibition.
Tragic stories often touched hearts more. The organizers hyped it as “The Sleeping Young Painter,” drawing quite a crowd. The exhibition was a smashing success, and Yu Fangbai shot to fame overnight.
Yaoxing Academy gradually recovered from the school celebration incident’s shock, returning to its usual calm.
But after that day, Xun Ji never saw Lu Zhou again.
At the breakfast table, Xun Ji ate leisurely. Uncle Li ladled a bowl of porridge and brought it to him.
“This porridge…” Xun Ji’s spoon paused slightly before he shook his head. “Never mind.”
“Young Master, are you missing the porridge Little Lu cooked?” Uncle Li sighed. “Who knows when we’ll find Xiao Ting.”
“Little Lu running around alone out there—who knows if he can hold up.” Brother Wang hesitated. “Young Master, are we really not helping search?”
Of course not—Xiao Ting had long been rescued by Xun Qian and was enjoying good food and care at Xun Mansion.
Xun Ji didn’t want them worrying and reassured them. “We have leads. She should be back tomorrow.”
“Really?” Uncle Li and Brother Wang rejoiced.
Today was already the third day. The task only required separating the protagonist from his most cherished family member—no time limit specified. To be safe, Xun Ji wanted to confirm with the System, but the Unlucky System was fixing bugs and wouldn’t respond no matter how he called. Xun Ji planned to bring Xiao Ting back once the System was fixed and tell Lu Zhou the truth.
