Xiaohanhan trotted over to Uesugi Chigenki's side and brushed the vegetable leaves off her head.
Su Ze's mouth twitched. "I'm not going to kidnap you, I'm just teasing. Let's eat first."
Su Ze pulled out chairs for the two of them.
Uesugi Chigenki grabbed Xiaohanhan's hand and pulled her into her embrace. Seeing that Su Ze didn't seem to have any malicious intent, she sat down a bit awkwardly.
Xiaohanhan sat next to her sister, her eyes fixed on Su Ze with a hint of panic, afraid that he might run away again.
While eating, Su Ze asked, "Why did you come to my house?"
"Because..." Uesugi Chigenki thought for a moment, unsure how to explain, and directly handed Su Ze the letter her mother had given her.
Su Ze flipped through the envelope and then opened it.
"I am Uesugi Akizuki, the head of the Russian mafia."
The letter started very bluntly, without any formalities.
"Uesugi Akizuki is my daughter, and I am placing her under your care for a while. As for how long, it depends on your performance."
How domineering! She didn't even ask for my consent!
At this point, Su Ze was very puzzled. What kind of mother would send her daughter into a "wolf's den"? Did she not consider me a man?
Is this the so-called "you can't catch a wolf without giving up your child"?
What exactly is she trying to achieve?
Su Ze continued reading:
"You must take care of and protect her."
"Also, do not do anything inappropriate to her, or I will risk my life to kill you."
After reading the letter, Su Ze felt a chill down his spine. He looked up and met the gaze of the seemingly innocent Uesugi Akizuki. This was no ordinary "Xiaohanhan"; she was a hot potato!
Su Ze couldn't figure out what Uesugi Akizuki's intentions were. Did she want to send Xiaohanhan as a spy?
...Okay, I'm overthinking. If Xiaohanhan could be a spy, pigs could fly.
After finishing the meal, Su Ze hesitated before speaking, "Well... I understand the situation. Your mother wants Uesugi Akizuki to stay with me for a while, but the duration is unclear. It's not that I don't want to take her in, it's just..."
"Feel free to say it," Uesugi Chigenki said, listening intently.
"I'm starting school in a couple of days, and Xiaohanhan can't get into Huaxia University. I can't just leave her at home, can I? So..."
Su Ze spoke tactfully, but in his mind, he was already calculating.
Although he enjoyed the time spent with Xiaohanhan, she had become a pivotal point in the relationship between Huaxia and Russia, or rather, a black-and-white forbidden zone.
If anything happened to Xiaohanhan, Su Ze would be implicated, whether it was Japanese assassins or some malicious individuals in Huaxia plotting against her.
If the Russian mafia and Huaxia acted, Su Ze would be the first to be targeted.
Uesugi Chigenki thought for a moment and then left to call her mother.
Su Ze patted the confused Uesugi Akizuki on the head. Within ten seconds, Uesugi Chigenki returned and said, "Akizuki will enroll in school with you."
Like a bolt from the blue, Su Ze was stunned and didn't speak. Countless people would kill to get into Huaxia University, and you just made a phone call to get her in?
Shameless! Using connections!
Su Ze sighed inwardly. Since he couldn't get rid of the hot potato, he might as well keep it. With his abilities, he might be able to protect Xiaohanhan.
After Uesugi Chigenki finished her instructions, she left.
Su Ze pinched Xiaohanhan's cheek. "You want to stay by my side, right?"
The little witch with wine-red hair was overjoyed and nodded, her amber eyes filled with happiness.
"Then you have to be as obedient as before, okay?" Su Ze asked.
Xiaohanhan nodded without hesitation. However, she thought for a moment and still wanted to get the answer that Su Ze hadn't given her. "Don't leave!"
"Okay," Su Ze said, patting her head.
In the interrogation room of the police station, the officer looked at the girl sitting in the chair with handcuffs, who had been arrested after Su Ze's report.
"Name, age, address..."
The girl smiled faintly. "My name is Hu Tuto, I'm three years old. My dad is Hu Yingjun, and my mom is Zhang Xiaoli. We live in Fantong Garden..."
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" the officer said coldly.
They couldn't find any information about this girl in the system. There were only two possibilities: either her information was classified, or she was from abroad.
Given that she was wandering the streets at night looking for "gagaga," they leaned towards the latter.
After all, would someone with classified information be out at night looking for "gagaga"?
"If you really know who I am, you'd probably think this is a joke," the girl said lazily.
"Then who exactly are you?"
"I can't say." The girl was unfazed.
"Bring out the instruments."
The officer impatiently waved his hand, and several officers behind him immediately took out terrifying tools like pliers, saws, and scalpels from a storage cabinet!
The girl's expression slightly changed. "I need to make a phone call!"
The phone on the table rang. It was Uesugi Akizuki calling.
Situ Jiayang picked up the phone. "What's up?"
"Arrange for my daughter to enroll in Huaxia University."
"Uesugi Akizuki?" Situ Jiayang had long anticipated this. After all, Su Ze was studying at Huaxia University, and if Uesugi Akizuki was to follow Su Ze, he couldn't just leave her at home, could he?
He had already prepared an admission notice for Uesugi Akizuki and even for Uesugi Chigenki.
Situ Jiayang just thought it was possible that if Uesugi Akizuki enrolled, Uesugi Akizuki would also want her sister to enroll.
If Uesugi Akizuki made the request, the two sisters could just show up at the start of the semester and enroll without any exams.
After all, as the commander of the Forerunner, if he didn't have this kind of foresight, he wouldn't be in his position.
"And Uesugi Chigenki."
Situ Jiayang's response was calm, as he had expected this. "Just report at the start of the semester."
They both understood each other. Uesugi Akizuki had also anticipated Situ Jiayang's anticipation.
This is what it means to be a big shot. They had already arranged everything for a matter that would happen in the distant future.
Just as he hung up the phone, he noticed several missed calls from his brother, Situ Nan.
The phone rang again. On the other end, Situ Nan's voice was anxious but suppressed. "Jiajia has been arrested by the officers on charges of molesting a minor, intending to engage in monetary and sexual transactions, and plotting to harm the Forerunner!"
Situ Jiayang's head buzzed, and he was completely confused. "So... Situ Jiajia was caught by the officers while looking for a prostitute?"
At the police station, Situ Jiajia hung up the phone and glared at the officers. She didn't dare to call her father, Situ Jiayang.
She could only call her uncle, Situ Nan, who was in business, and pretend they weren't very close, subtly informing him of her situation.
After all, the call was being monitored by the officers. If they found out that the daughter of the commander of the Forerunner was caught looking for "gagaga" at night, what would that say about her father's reputation?

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
