The dust has slowly settled.

The instructor, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now being dragged along the ground by Chen Zheng, who was holding him by the collar with one hand.

His signature white robe had long since turned black, and his once stylish curly hair was now a complete mess.

"Let go of me..."

The instructor was still struggling, grabbing Chen Zheng's wrists with both hands and kicking his feet wildly on the ground.

"I have money! I have tens of millions! All in overseas accounts!"

"Let me go, and I'll give you half... no! I'll give you both!"

"I am a spiritual mentor! I can save people! You can't arrest me, this is an abuse of violence! I'm going to sue you!"

Chen Zheng stopped and looked down, showing signs of impatience.

Without further ado, he raised his right hand and delivered a karate chop to the back of his mentor's neck.

Click.

The latter rolled his eyes and completely fainted.

"It's so noisy."

Chen Zheng shook his hand dismissively, then dragged his unconscious mentor to the back of the jeep that had been driven over by the keyboard, kicked open the trunk, and tossed the keyboard aside.

puff.

The mentor was simply thrown into the trunk of the car.

Bang!

After closing the trunk lid, Chen Zheng dusted off his hands, turned around, and looked at the group of girls behind him who had just finished their battle.

"Done, job done."

An Ran and Meng Yi stood not far away, their evening gowns now stained and disheveled.

Next to the jeep.

The keyboard stood there quietly.

As the only person in the entire venue who remained impeccably clean, she gazed at the figure on the stage.

Su Xiao.

The girl who had been manipulated by hallucinogens and brainwashed by a cult, and who had just been standing in front of her mentor pretending to die, was now gradually losing the cloudiness in her eyes.

The mentor was arrested, the hallucinogen stopped working, and intelligence once again took over.

Su Xiao looked around blankly.

The ruins were flooded, soldiers were fully armed, and a group of wealthy people were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Finally, her gaze settled on the small, thin figure in front of her.

The keyboard instinctively shrank its neck.

She pushed up her glasses, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and even subconsciously wanted to hide behind Chen Zheng.

I must look awful right now.

No filters, no beauty effects.

There was only one country bumpkin wearing a pink dress, with thick bangs, and who wasn't good-looking.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

With his head down, Keyboard said softly, "I... I didn't dare to see you because I was afraid you would be disappointed if you saw how unfashionable I am."

"I'm afraid you'll think I'm a liar."

Tears streamed down her face, and she didn't even dare to look up at Su Xiao's expression.

She was afraid of seeing a look of disgust on that familiar face.

The air was quiet for a second.

For the keyboard, this second feels like an eternity.

Sudden.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Before the keyboard could react, a thin, frail embrace slammed into her.

"Hmm!"

The keyboard was knocked back two steps and almost fell over.

Su Xiao hugged her tightly.

"You big idiot!!" she screamed, her voice trembling with rage. "What do you mean by 'old-fashioned'? What do you mean by 'liar'?!"

"You saved me!"

Su Xiao buried her head in the keyboard, tears streaming down her face like a long river flowing into the sea.

"I don't care what you look like or what you wear!"

"You're the keyboard! You're the fool who's been with me for ten years, who stayed up all night with me cursing that jerk when I was heartbroken, and who sent me medicine when I was sick!"

The keyboard, which had been stiff, finally softened.

She reached out with trembling hands, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged Su Xiao tightly.

"Xiaoxiao..."

The pent-up fear finally erupted at this moment.

The two girls were hugging each other and crying by the ruins, looking very disheveled.

An Ran turned her head and secretly wiped the corner of her eye.

Ram couldn't help but sniffle: "This is so damn touching..."

"actually……"

Su Xiao relaxed a little, cupped her face in her hands holding the keyboard, and said, "I lied to you too."

"I spent two hours editing each of the photos I sent you."

"I'm not some kind of company elite at all. I work overtime every day and my boss yells at me like a dog from time to time."

Su Xiao tugged at his white robe with a mocking laugh.

"I'm scared too."

"I'm afraid you'll look down on me for living a messy life in real life, and I'm afraid you'll think that the 'big whirlwind' who encourages you every day is actually just an ordinary person."

"That's why I believed that bastard tutor, thinking that as long as I spent money, things would get better..."

As the keyboard listened, it suddenly burst out laughing.

While wiping away her tears, she helped Su Xiao tidy up her messy hair.

"Turns out we were both liars."

"He was the worst kind of con artist, who fooled the other person for ten years, and in the end, he even fooled himself."

Su Xiao smiled, and two shallow dimples finally appeared.

Who cares?

She took a deep breath and stared intently at the keyboard.

Just like you said.

"As long as the two of us are together, we are invincible."

"You're not allowed to avoid me anymore! Even if it's just picking up trash, I'll go with you!"

With Su Xiao's hand gripping the keyboard, the keyboard was a little breathless, but it still nodded heavily.

"Yes! It's wrapped!"

It was at this very touching moment.

Chen Zheng leaned against the car door, his thermos cup appearing in his hand again, and slowly said:

"Although I don't want to disturb your touching reunion."

"But Miss Su Xiao, there are some things I need to make clear to you now, lest you think this matter is over."

Su Xiao paused for a moment, then instinctively shielded the keyboard behind her back.

"Um...sir?"

Just call me Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng waved his hand and looked into Su Xiao's eyes.

First of all, congratulations on getting out.

"Secondly, there's bad news."

He pointed to the trunk.

"Although that charlatan has been caught, the money in his account, which is the so-called donation you all paid, had already been transferred abroad through underground banks."

"In short, even if we arrest him, even if he dies on the spot right now, we can't get that money back."

"Reality is not a game; it's not like defeating a boss and the gold coins that drop will automatically return to your inventory."

boom!

Su Xiao's face turned pale instantly.

That was all the money she had saved up over the years of working, plus some online loans, totaling a full 200,000 yuan.

She had originally planned to rent a small apartment in the city long-term, or perhaps travel with Keyboard.

Just like that, it's all gone.

"How could this be..." Su Xiao's lips trembled. "Then... what am I going to do now..."

For an ordinary office worker, this is no less than a catastrophe.

The keyboard could feel the person in its arms stiffen.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Zheng, trying to plead for mercy: "Instructor, there really isn't a way..."

Chen Zheng shook his head, interrupting her.

"I can lie to you and say I'm pursuing her, so you can live with hope, but that's just comforting you."
