Chapter 545: Reset Everything

Book Chapter 545: Everything is Reset (3 updates)

“No way! How can you be the developer of the anti-cancer drug formula?!”

Suddenly, Yao Zhengqi roared in anger, shouting, “That formula was clearly his research achievement. He’s dead—I killed him myself. Besides me, no one else should know about it. How dare you claim to have developed it?”

Watching Yao Zhengqi’s furious outburst, Zhao Yucheng laughed. Lin

Not only did he laugh.

Even Xiao Yu, who had been quietly listening, broke into a laugh.

His laugh was so bizarre as he fixed a strange look on Zhao Yucheng.

He thought to himself: No wonder you earned your PhD—what a smart guy!

Why say that?

Because the explosion at Professor Zhao Yucheng’s lab happened two years ago, making it extremely hard to gather evidence.

Even if evidence surfaced to prove that Yao Zhengqi murdered Professor Zhao Yucheng, it couldn’t be achieved in a short time.

Clearly, Zhao Yucheng couldn’t wait that long.

Just as he had said himself.

He needed to see Yao Zhengqi die first for his own peace of mind.

So Zhao Yucheng devised a plan.

He told Yao Zhengqi this story.

He deliberately embellished it to make Yao Zhengqi feel like a clown.

Infuriated by the humiliation, Yao Zhengqi broke down and confessed to the murder!

“Thank you.”

With a grateful look, Zhao Yucheng said to Xiao Yu, “Thank you for giving me this chance.”

“You’re welcome.”

Xiao Yu shook his head, “You also helped our police crack the case.”

“No.”

Zhao Yucheng replied, shaking his head, “I was just taking personal vengeance for my teacher.”

Does it really make a difference… Xiao Yu just smiled.

Some people are PhDs, doctors, criminals, or even avengers!

Just like…

Not everything that flies is Superman or a bird-man—it might even be a plane!

Seated in the interrogation chair, Yao Zhengqi regained his composure.

Yet his face was as white as paper, and his whole body trembled with despair.

He finally realized what he had just said.

One can dodge fate’s disasters, but not self-inflicted misery!

“Let me ask you a question, Professor Yao Zhengqi.”

Xiao Yu snorted, “After you use the restroom, do you wipe first or flush first?”

Yao Zhengqi: …

He stared blankly at Xiao Yu.

“So, what about you?”

Xiao Yu then turned his gaze to Zhao Yucheng.

“It’s a simple question.”

Zhao Yucheng chuckled softly, “99% of people would lock their screens first.”

“Hahaha!” Xiao Yu burst into laughter.

He admitted that Zhao Yucheng’s intelligence truly deserved a PhD.

As for Yao Zhengqi… Professor?

Spit, tch!

……

A month later.

On the outskirts of Bin City at an execution ground.

Bang!

Amid the sound of gunfire, Yao Zhengqi was executed.

Staring at the corpse, Zhao Yucheng’s eyes filled with tears.

Yet a smile of joy and solace appeared on his face as he looked up at the sky.

Teacher, I’ve avenged you!

After a long while……

Zhao Yucheng turned his head, his expression calm as he looked at Xiao Yu.

He watched as Xiao Yu placed a sidearm against his brow.

“Before you go, you must say one thing.”

Without any fear, Zhao Yucheng smiled, “Thank you!”

He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come…

Bang!

Gunfire echoed in Zhao Yucheng’s ears.

Dead already?

Apparently, death brings no pain.

How wonderful!

“From today on, there will be no Zhao Yucheng in this world anymore!”

Xiao Yu’s voice resounded softly.

“Uh!”

Zhao Yucheng opened his eyes, looking at Xiao Yu in bewildered confusion.

“Because you donated the anti-cancer drug formula to the country free of charge.”

Retracting the sidearm, Xiao Yu glared coldly at Zhao Yucheng, “The state is giving you a second chance.”

“But every part of your past will be reset.”

“Your documents, records, files, even your family…everything will no longer be connected to you.”

“From now on, you must serve the country for ten years to atone. If your contributions meet the state’s requirements, you’ll regain your freedom after ten years.”

“But if within those ten years you fail to contribute anything beneficial, you will be executed again and completely erased from this world.”

“Do you understand?”

Zhao Yucheng stared at Xiao Yu, frozen like a statue.

After what felt like an eternity, his lips trembled and murmured.

It was as if he wanted to speak, but nothing came out.

Zhao Yucheng felt a warm current pulsing repeatedly in his chest.

His vision grew increasingly blurred.

Until two streams of hot tears began to flow from his eyes.

Finally, he managed to say two words, “Thank you!”

·· ·······Plea for Flowers··· ·········

“Don’t thank me—I never let criminals off easy.”

Xiao Yu shook his head, “If you’re going to thank anyone, thank the country!”

Zhao Yucheng handed over his anti-cancer drug formula, which Xiao Yu then submitted to National Security and Big Boss.

Big Boss handed it over to the Academy of Sciences for an authoritative evaluation and experiment.

Soon after, Big Boss personally called him.

And that’s how everything unfolded…

The next day, at the Airport.

“What a stroke of rotten luck!”

Watching Zhao Yucheng being led away by two National Security agents, Xiao Yu smirked.

“Are you sure it’s rotten luck?”

Shen Mei’s teasing voice chimed in from aside.

“Could it be any other way?”

Xiao Yu turned to Shen Mei, “It truly is the country’s chance for him.”

….. .. …

“Team Leader Xiao said so, so it must be.”

Shen Mei laughed lightly, “Besides Big Boss, you’re the loudest in National Security. We rookies have to follow orders.”

“Sister Shen, if you say that, I’m not amused.”

Xiao Yu chuckled and teased, “I’m just a small-time cop.”

Don’t treat me like you’re some seasoned veteran, alright?

I’m just a rookie!

“If you’re willing to be a cop, then so be it. Any further orders?”

Exasperated, Shen Mei shook her head, “If there’s nothing else, I must report back.”

“Farewell, Sister Shen!”

Xiao Yu happily mimicked a farewell gesture.

“Haha.” Shen Mei laughed heartily as she left with Team Five.

She adored such little brothers and eagerly looked forward to following a Big Boss in the future.

That feeling was like leaving darkness behind and basking in the sunlight.

Xiao Yu watched as Shen Mei and her team entered a special security checkpoint, momentarily lost in thought.

He wondered how well he’d perform on this time’s ‘test’ from Big Boss.

Next time, how many teams would he get to command?

Lost in thought, he felt a soft, jade-like arm wrap around his waist from behind.

“Time to go home—Baby misses you!”

Mu Qingwu’s alluring, soft voice, laden with unspoken seduction, chimed from behind.

“Is it only Baby who misses me?”

Xiao Yu grinned mischievously, turning to embrace his slightly chiding sister as they left the Airport.

A man’s shoulders bear not only responsibility and duty but also other burdens when necessary.

He just feels so exhausted!

Man, I’m tired!
