The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

Night swallowed the old residential buildings.

Li Haotian changed into a clean T-shirt and jeans, the total cost of which was less than one hundred yuan. He walked out of the alley and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, Tianhao Hotel."

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror, said nothing, and stepped on the gas to merge into the traffic.

At 7:45 p.m., at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Tianhao Hotel.

Li Haotian sat alone in his reserved window seat, with the city's dazzling lights below him.

A waiter in a vest pushed a food cart over and respectfully placed a steaming pot of sukiyaki and another serving of Wagyu beef on the table.

"Sir, here is your A5 Wagyu beef sukiyaki set meal, two servings."

Li Haotian nodded.

The waiter set out the tableware, bowed, and withdrew.

Li Haotian didn't touch his chopsticks; he just quietly looked out the window, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.

7:55.

The door to the private room was pushed open.

A young man dressed in flashy streetwear and with silver-gray hair walked in with a woman on his arm. Behind him were two burly men in black suits and wearing headsets.

The young man raised his chin slightly, his eyes scrutinizing as he scanned the private room before finally fixing his gaze on Li Haotian, who was sitting alone there.

The woman next to him was Chen Xue.

She changed into a designer white dress, wore exquisite makeup, and her face showed just the right amount of timidity and grievance. Her eyes darted away, and she dared not look directly at Li Haotian.

"Baby, is that him?" The silver-haired youth squeezed Chen Xue's shoulder, his tone flippant.

Chen Xue nodded, her voice barely audible.

"Okay, please have a seat."

The silver-haired youth sat down imposingly opposite Li Haotian, pressing Chen Xue down beside him. Two bodyguards stood on either side of them behind them, like two iron towers.

"Hey bro, what's your gang?" The silver-haired youth crossed his legs, wiggled his toes, pulled a pack of limited-edition cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and tossed the pack onto the table.

Li Haotian didn't look at him; his gaze fell on Chen Xue.

"You've lost weight."

He spoke, his voice flat.

Chen Xue froze, instinctively clutching the hem of her skirt.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?" The silver-haired youth's face darkened when he was ignored. He exhaled a smoke ring. "I, Young Master Kai, am asking you a question. Are you deaf?"

Li Haotian finally turned his gaze to him and looked him up and down.

"Who are you?"

"Ha, you fucking don't know who I am?" Kai Shao laughed in anger. He pointed to himself, "The number one on the live streaming platform, the young master of the Caesar Group, Zhou Kai."

He then pointed to Chen Xue beside him.

"Now, Xuebao is mine. What do you mean by asking her out today? Are you trying to stage an accident or rekindle your old flame?"

Chen Xue tugged at Zhou Kai's arm, her eyes reddening again, looking pitiful.

"Young Master Kai, please don't be like this... Haotian... he's probably still angry and wants to talk to me."

She turned to Li Haotian, her voice trembling with tears, "Haotian, I know you hate me, but what happened back then really can't be entirely my fault. Let's part ways amicably, okay? Please stop harassing me like this, I'm scared."

This performance was truly masterful.

If Li Haotian hadn't witnessed her even more superb acting skills, he almost would have believed it.

"Bro, you're doing a great job acting, playing the devoted lover character, right?" Zhou Kai, with his arm around Chen Xue, mocked Li Haotian. "Still acting at a time like this. Let me tell you, even if you were still that genius boy you used to be, let alone your current pathetic appearance, Xuebao wouldn't even look at you anymore."

"You think you can just start a live stream, send some gifts, and then dare to ask my people out? Who gave you the nerve?"

"This outfit of mine," Zhou Kai said, shaking out his trendy designer jacket, "is enough for you to work hard for a lifetime, right?"

Li Haotian remained silent.

He picked up his chopsticks, slowly took a slice of cooked Wagyu beef from the pot, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

The meat is tender and the broth is rich and flavorful.

It still tastes the same.

"Haotian, what exactly do you want?" Chen Xue panicked even more when he remained silent, her voice becoming sharper. "Did you call me here just to humiliate me?"

Zhou Kai was furious when he saw that Li Haotian was still eating.

He slammed his hand on the table.

"Damn it! You can't understand human language, can you? Did I tell you to eat me?"

He reached out to flip the table.

Li Haotian finished the last bite of meat and put down his chopsticks.

He picked up a brown paper document bag from the chair next to him.

The movements were not fast, even somewhat slow.

He gently placed the file bag in the center of the table.

Then, it was pushed towards Chen Xue.

"Smack."

The file bag stopped in front of Chen Xue.

"What's this?" Zhou Kai stopped what he was doing and looked at the file folder with suspicion.

Chen Xue's gaze fell on the ordinary brown paper bag, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Open it and take a look." Li Haotian's voice was flat.

Chen Xue's hands were trembling; she dared not touch them.

"Playing tricks!" Zhou Kai snatched the file bag, roughly tore open the seal, and poured out a stack of A4 papers.

He picked up the first page, which was filled with dense clauses and numbers.

"What the hell... team asset transfer agreement?" he read aloud, frowning.

He turned to the last page and saw the signature section.

Two names.

One is the flamboyant "Li Haotian".

The other one is the beautiful "Chen Xue".

"This is just a lousy contract. Who are you trying to scare with this?" Zhou Kai said dismissively, about to throw the document away.

"Look carefully," Li Haotian reminded him.

Zhou Kai paused for a moment, then picked up the document again with suspicion and looked at it closely.

This time, he saw a line of small text marked with a red circle next to the signature panel.

[Handwriting analysis report: The signature "Li Haotian" has less than 15% similarity to the authorized person's genuine handwriting, indicating it is a highly convincing forgery.]

Zhou Kai's breathing paused for a moment.

Forgery?

He suddenly looked up at Chen Xue.

Chen Xue's face was as white as a sheet of paper. She seemed to have lost all her bones, slumped in the chair, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

She is finished.

The thought suddenly popped into her mind.

How did he get this?

It was clearly cleaned up back then!

"Forged signatures...transferring assets..." Zhou Kai looked at the documents, then at Chen Xue, his mind a little blank. "Xuebao, what...what's going on?"

Li Haotian leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped in front of him.

He looked at Chen Xue's face, which was contorted with fear, and spoke calmly.

"I'm treating you to dinner tonight to thank you."

"Thank me?" Chen Xue looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"Yes, thank you." Li Haotian nodded, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Thank you for giving me such a solid lesson back then, making me realize that the human heart can sometimes be a hundred times, a thousand times more poisonous than the monsters in a game."

He picked up a napkin from the table and wiped his mouth.

"Therefore, this meal is not a trap."

Li Haotian looked at her and said, word by word.

"It's a thank-you banquet for teachers."

He paused, then pointed to the document on the table that was enough to send Chen Xue to prison.

"Teacher, do you like this return gift?"
