The male supporting character was actually myself.

The final result—the baby is indeed Duan Liyang's biological child, but has no blood relation to Hu Xiaojun, hahaha!

"Wow! That's so exciting!"

"Turning left and right, the car's about to flip over!"

"No, I didn't understand. Does it mean the baby doesn't have a father? Then how was it born?"

"You idiot! Of course you have a father, but it's not Hu Xiaojun!"

"They all ended up in jail for trying to have a child, but it turns out the child wasn't even their own..."

……

Ye Xingluo was stunned.

Holy crap! There's such an exciting sequel?

real or fake?

I went back and checked Ji Jiangchen's phone. It was absolutely shocking!

"There's more!" The little parrot flapped its wings and laughed so hard it almost fell over. "Hu Xiaojun knew the child wasn't his, but after pressing her for details, he found out that Duan Liyang spent her days in internet cafes and card rooms, didn't have a proper job, and had a chaotic private life. She herself didn't even know whose child it was."

Hu Xiaojun, deeply affected, is going to sue Duan Liyang.

Then, here comes the point!

The original reason for starting the live stream to raise funds was to raise living expenses for the baby. However, after learning that the child was not his own, Hu Xiaojun refused to give the money to Duan Liyang and, in desperation, used it to gamble and squander.

She had no money, her parents were in prison, her baby was in poor health due to smoking and drinking during her pregnancy and needed hospitalization, and she was also sued for fraud by Hu Xiaojun. In a fit of anger, Duan Liyang sued Hu Xiaojun for fraudulent donations.

The two individuals were already on probation, so the court quickly reached a decision after accepting the case.

Final verdict: Duan Liyang's actions led to Hu Xiaojun raising a child who was not her biological child, but since she lacked the intent to defraud, the charge of fraud was not established. Duan Liyang is required to pay Hu Xiaojun 20,000 yuan in child support.

Hu Xiaojun was found guilty of fraudulent donations totaling 66,812 yuan, which he squandered and was unable to repay. He was sentenced to two years in prison, accumulating a total of 42 years, to be served immediately!

Now Duan Liyang is doing live streams to play the victim, but nobody is giving her tips anymore.

She tearfully went to the men she had slept with to get paternity tests done, even broadcasting it live. Many of these men had wives and children, and their homes were thrown into chaos.

Who knows how many more people will file for divorce after this!

"It's really a terrible thing to run into a woman like Duan Liyang."

"Pah! What did the dog do to you? How dare you talk like that, you stupid bird!"

"It's not entirely Duan Liyang's fault. If those men were virtuous, she wouldn't have been able to seduce them."

"Exactly! Duan Liyang seeks men for money and pleasure, but those married men who know they have wives and children and still indulge in debauchery are also sinners..."

……

On the way back, Hua Hua listened to Ye Xingluo recount the case-solving process from a first-person perspective. After satisfying its gossip-loving heart, it brandished its sharp claws in front of the scarred cat, saying, "If you dare to imitate those stinky human men..."

"How could that be!" Scarface Cat declared righteously, "I'm a perfect male cat, I would never be disloyal to you!"

"That's more like it. I want grilled squid."

"Wait here, I'll go to the food street and get you some!"

"I'll go with you..."

……

The two cats playfully said goodbye to him and headed towards the snack street. Ye Xinglu scoffed, "Ugh, the stench of love!"

When he got home, the fierce battle inside was still going on.

After the orange cat had eaten and drunk its fill, it went to sleep. Ye Xingluo took the opportunity to open Ji Jiangchen's notebook and search for updates on the missing baby case.

The information online was much more detailed than what the parrots said. He ate cat food and ate melons while reflecting on the opponents he had overlooked and underestimated in his short life.

A new day comes and goes quickly.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Just as Ye Xinglu was feeling dejected, thinking he had wasted another day, the final main quest was suddenly released!

Main Mission: Rescue the hostages held on Central Avenue. Time Limit: 30 minutes.

Central Avenue? Hostage situation?

Ye Xingluo immediately perked up!

He quickly went through the map in his mind.

No way! There's no direct bus from here to Central Street; I definitely won't make it in time to run there myself.

Moreover, Central Avenue runs through the entire city, and it is still unclear which section the hostage incident occurred on!

While Ji Jiangchen was in the bedroom, Ye Xinglu hurriedly searched on her laptop, but there were no news reports about kidnapping online.

This is how to do?

"Host, the protagonist is going to pull off something big this time!" The little white cat peeked out, squeezing close to his face to look at the synchronized search information on his phone. "Kidnapping, that'll be dangerous, won't it?"

[Task: Deliver glutinous rice balls to the intersection of Cherry Blossom Avenue and Shangyang Street. Time limit: 10 minutes. Reward: 1 million RMB.]

"This location?" A 3D map of the city instantly flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, and the Jinrui Hotel stood prominently just across the street. "Damn it!"

He grabbed his phone and strode to the door to change his shoes. "Tangyuan, I'm going to Shangyang Street to order a bouquet of flowers for Chengcheng and pick her up. Do you want to come with me? There's a shop nearby that sells imported cat food. Would you like to try it?"

"Shangyang Street?" Ye Xingluo, at a loss, quickly ran over. "Go, go, go! It's only one street away from Central Street, so convenient!"

When the little white cat notified him that the task was complete, Jiang Chen finally understood why the task issued by the main system was separated from the protagonist's destination by a street.

Centered around the Jinrui Hotel, all four streets were immediately closed off.

Many people were peering inside from outside the cordon.

"I heard that a man took revenge on a girl by holding her at knifepoint after she rejected his advances. Men these days are really scary!"

"I heard it's because the woman messed with the guy? Apparently they were both interns, and the woman used underhanded methods to squeeze the man out of the position in order to stay."

"That guy was fired three days ago, not because he was trying to squeeze out a spot. His family seems to be quite wealthy, but his dad lost everything in his nut trading business and got fired; the girl rejected his advances, so the guy, being a psychopath, decided to take revenge."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too! A lot of armed police were mobilized. It's said that he planted a bomb at the Jinrui Hotel beforehand!"

"It seems the negotiators and snipers have all gone..."

……

The cacophony of voices from the crowd intensified Jiang Chen's growing sense of unease.

Li Qingcheng was attending a celebration at the Jinrui Hotel. She happened to be the female lead arranged at the beginning of the script. Now that the protagonist was going to do a rescue mission, it would be strange if Li Qingcheng wasn't arranged to appear at this time, given how the plot usually goes!

The question is, does the protagonist's halo really work?

Chapter Thirty: The Final Mission

Jiang Chen glanced at the big black cat that had already quietly slipped across the cordon and decided that he was the more reliable one.

"Xiaobai, help me find a prop, I have to go in."

The fluffy little dumpling rummaged around on its round belly. "There are several that meet the requirements: teleportation talisman, invisibility talisman, and lucky talisman. Which one do you need, host?"

After a quick glance at the usage requirements, it was found that the teleportation talisman requires the user to be clear about the teleportation location.

Having lived in this mission world for a relatively short time, Jiang Chen had never been inside the Jinrui Hotel, only occasionally passing by and having a vague impression of it.

"Invisibility charm." He made the decision immediately.

The little white cat held a button-like item in its paw and reminded, "Host, this is a one-time use C-grade item. It will keep you invisible for five minutes after use. I'll time it for you!"

"boom!"

The prop was thrown on the ground, and a plume of white smoke, invisible to others, rose up and enveloped him.

Jiang Chen raised his hands and saw only dotted lines forming the edge, which surprised him.

As the crowd grew larger, no one noticed that the cordon line swayed slightly before returning to normal.

The cherry blossom avenue, which had been cordoned off and urgently evacuated, was in chaos. He ran past, dodging and weaving, and soon saw the hostage situation.

Li Qingcheng was held tightly by the man behind her and dared not breathe. She whispered in a trembling voice, "Wu Qifan, although we didn't graduate from the same school, we've been interning in the same office for almost a year."

Do you really want to do this?

Think of your mother!

She only has you as her child. What will she do if something happens to you?

"Shut up!" Wu Qifan pressed the knife against her neck hard.

To avoid getting hurt, Li Qingcheng could only tilt her head back as far as she could, tears welling up in her eyes.

The negotiation expert was a man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance but a kind face.

He had already received information about the suspect on his way there.

Wu Qifan, male, 21 years old, a local resident.

My father started from scratch with his craftsmanship and accumulated a huge fortune. After that, he switched to cryptocurrency speculation and doubled his assets. After that, he gave up his real business and focused on speculation.

Ten months ago, his father used his connections to get Wu Qifan, who had poor academic performance, into an internship at Mobel (China) Management Consulting, a top company in the city.

Two weeks ago, his father, Wu Gen, declared bankruptcy after his investment failed, and his remaining real estate was also sealed off.

Unable to hide the truth any longer and feeling too ashamed to face anyone, Wu Gen left and has not been heard from since.

Forced to move out of his mansion and into a cramped rental apartment, Wu Qifan couldn't bear the shock and became depressed, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He was late, left early, and even went to work after a hangover. In the end, he was fired for mislabeling a set of important data while organizing documents.

Faced with a terrible life, Wu Qifan believes that all the bad luck started when Li Qingcheng rejected him!

About twenty days ago, he bought 999 roses and publicly expressed his love in the office, but Li Qingcheng politely rejected him and told him that she already had a boyfriend.

Feeling humiliated, Wu Qifan, after drinking, vowed to make her "lose her life"!

Negotiation experts may appear calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, they are highly focused and constantly assess the other party's psychology based on their behavior.

"Hello, I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Qifan brandished the knife in his hand and shouted, "I don't need a negotiation expert, shut up! Or I'll stab her to death!"

The scene was silent. The sniper reported through a wireless headset, "The suspect has strong counter-surveillance capabilities. He has made the hostage completely cover himself and is positioned between two walls of the Jinrui Hotel, with only his arms exposed as he holds the hostage. It is temporarily impossible to snipe him."
