Chapter 133 Waving Flags and Shouting
The wild cats' exaggerated cries of joy at the arrival of spring kept ringing out.
Liu Zichuan's heart was in turmoil, and he struggled incessantly.
I couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened in the guest room. Even the most dissolute person couldn't possibly be so outrageous!
So, is this a test? Is someone trying to trick me into "tipping me off" again?
That must be the kind of scheme they're plotting!
Despicable, laughable, pathetic, and even more tragic—
When a petty person gains power, they become arrogant and unruly.
You, surnamed Yu, are a complete and utter scoundrel.
Ironically, after figuring all this out...
Liu Zichuan's attack was unresponsive.
He couldn't leave, and he couldn't go in. While others were enjoying themselves inside, he was stuck—damn it, he might as well stand outside as a guard.
Just then.
Director Qin walked out from the corner.
"Researcher Liu!"
Upon hearing the voice, Liu Zichuan quickly turned his head and saw that it was Qin Zhongkai calling him. He hurried forward a few steps and said, "Director Qin, did you call me for any instructions?"
"Didn't you say you contacted some media reporters to communicate with Writer Yu? What's the situation now? Why is it such a mess? A group of people just left, and now—well, what's going on in that guest room you were guarding? In broad daylight, where did those stray cats come from, meowing incessantly? What's going on?"
Liu Zichuan blinked, her thoughts racing like lightning.
He was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell are you up to?!
Why are you asking me what happened when it's so obvious?
The man surnamed Yu is so hungry he's eating chicken. Is there something incomprehensible about this situation?
"Speak up! What are you staring at? I'm asking you a question! By the way, where is Writer Yu's family? Didn't you accompany Writer Yu downstairs to meet your reporter friends? Where are they?"
Liu Zichuan pointed to the guest room, and a terrible premonition welled up in his heart again.
"You mean Writer Yu is in the guest room?"
"Yes."
"What nonsense! Why are there stray cats meowing in the guest room? Did your media friend actually bring stray cats to meet and communicate?"
"I didn't! It wasn't me! Why are you all framing me?" Liu Zichuan roared inwardly.
"Director Qin, the sound coming from the guest room, that's—that's—"
"What is that? Stop stammering! What are you trying to hide? Where is Mr. Yu? He absolutely cannot be in any danger! Speak up now! If something happens to Mr. Yu, you can't take the responsibility, understand?!"
Liu Zichuan was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Writer Yu is eating chicken in the guest room!"
"What? Chicken?"
"Yeah, it's PUBG!"
"Are you sure you're playing PUBG?"
"Um, Director Qin, the chicken I was referring to wasn't a chicken in the animal sense, but rather a figurative expression. Actually, just by listening to the sound, Director Qin, you should have been able to figure out what was going on! I was just worried about being seen by others, so I had no choice but to stand here as a lookout—"
"Nonsense! What kind of people are your journalist friends? Is it reasonable for them to bring prostitutes along when they meet and communicate? Or is this all part of your deliberate arrangement? Liu Zichuan, tell me, what are your intentions?!"
"I'm innocent! Director Qin, I'm innocent! I swear to God, my journalist friends have already been exposed and left. The people in the hotel room were clearly hired by Writer Yu himself, it has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Zichuan was about to break down the door.
This is ridiculous. What do these bastards think they are?
"Huh?? Director Qin, Researcher Liu, what are you two talking about? It sounds like you're talking badly about me?"
What's going on?
Just then.
Yu Zhen reappeared from upstairs, looking very hurt.
Liu Zichuan was utterly shocked. "Y-you, you, weren't you in the guest room playing PUBG? When did you come upstairs—"
"You, surnamed Liu, what kind of nonsense are you spouting! I think you're trying to harm someone, causing you to go insane!" Yu Zhen roared angrily, "Director Qin, I can't tolerate this kind of filth. You decide what to do!"
Inside the guest room, the meowing of stray cats continued unabated.
The protagonist of the game suddenly appeared behind them, not even in the guest room.
They appear and disappear so mysteriously, yet they claim they weren't deliberately setting a trap for him.
Not to mention Liu Zichuan was terrified.
Director Qin himself was quite surprised. Good lad, he's really got into it!
Beforehand, all I knew was that Yu Zhen said he wanted to take the opportunity to test the character of the man surnamed Liu.
But how exactly to test the waters?
It wasn't explained in detail.
With this kind of setup, Xiao Yu, aren't you giving that Liu guy a little too much credit?
Look at you, turning into a big monkey in an instant! Are you deliberately showing off some of your special skills for me and Zhang Fushi?
"Xiao Yu, stop joking with Researcher Liu. Our delegation's trip to the United States is a matter of paramount importance to the nation. All members must unite as one and absolutely cannot fight amongst themselves. I firmly believe in Researcher Liu's integrity; he would never intentionally harm you. We can't continue to ignore the crowd gathered outside the hotel. Quickly think of another way to appease them and stop joking around."
"Researcher Liu, have I ever joked with you?"
"Oh? No, no! Director Qin, Writer Yu never joked with me, really, we've always been very serious about our work."
Liu Zichuan felt like her brain was really not up to the task.
Could it be that they really didn't notice the things I did today, the problems that were exposed?
Am I a master of disguise?
How is that possible!
Therefore, there is only one answer: they are pretending to be tolerant and magnanimous, and pretending not to know the truth.
But why exactly?
"Researcher Liu, since it's a misunderstanding, I apologize. But the matter is urgent, and you still need to do your best to help Writer Yu quickly appease the people gathered outside and prevent the media from writing nonsense that could damage the reputation of our delegation—"
Huh?
Liu Zichuan understood that he needed to use his media connections to protect the delegation.
He wondered when his Liu family's connections in Hong Kong had become so important.
No, no, that's not right.
This is clearly a ploy to force me to pledge my allegiance and obediently hand over the Liu family's connections.
The key issue is that the Liu family isn't actually that powerful or influential.
Those connections I have in Hong Kong.
It's far from enough to provide security and protection for the visiting delegation.
"Researcher Liu??"
"Yes, I'm here, I'm here—"
"You're not happy about it?"
"No, no, the key point is, I don't have that much power!"
"Don't underestimate yourself. Your Liu family was decimated during the war. Everything you've done will be recorded by the organization. They won't let you sacrifice yourself for no reason."
Liu Zichuan felt heartbroken, feeling no sense of honor whatsoever from being valued.
He's clearly a fish on the chopping block, with the cudgel in his hands, allowing others to manipulate him at will, yet he can't resist. Why should he be allowed to do this?
