The male supporting character was actually myself.

A row of iron rings hung from his ears; his lips, tongue, and even his brow bone were pierced with studs. He chewed gum and glanced at his mother with dissatisfaction, waiting for her to explain.

Du Pingping glanced at the camera and then at the police standing outside the door. She leaned forward and lowered her voice, saying, "We must get custody of Du Zigui no matter what!"

Just look at how much the rich lady dotes on him, treating him like the apple of her eye. The child will come back to live with you. Would the rich lady of the Yin family bear to let him suffer?

Once you've got the people, money and good things will gradually come your way.

If all else fails, when they come to you, their temporary guardian, to discuss the matter, you can pretend to be in a difficult position and then demand an exorbitant sum of money, allowing Du Zigui to continue living with them.

That way, you won't have to worry about your living expenses;

The Yin couple, who paid a high price to obtain temporary guardianship, will treat Zigui even better!

It's like those families on our street getting married.

A wife who isn't married with a dowry is no longer cherished. If she runs away, you can just marry another one. It doesn't cost much money anyway.

They'd love to treat the bride they'd married with such a high dowry as a treasure, since if she ran away, they wouldn't be able to afford a second one.

Think about it, although Jiang Chen is their biological daughter, they haven't lived together for years and there's no real affection between them. And yet she's the one who's eagerly running off to be with them.

Just look at Yin Luoxi's attitude towards him, and you'll know that the Yin family is wary of Jiang Chen!

On the contrary, Zigui, who already had feelings for him and had gone through many twists and turns to finally stay by his side, was more favored.

If they really live together for a long time, Zigui, with the Yin family's connections, will have the Yin family paving the way for whatever she does in the future. Wouldn't that bring us good days?

Du Rui played with the chained ring on her hand, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she understood her mother's good intentions. "I understand!"

"Remember this, you should do this when the time comes..."

While there was still time, Du Pingping whispered some instructions to her daughter for a long time.

[Mission: Pack your belongings and return to the Yin family home immediately. Reward: 5 million RMB]

Jiang Chen had just arrived at the small hotel where he was temporarily staying after leaving the police station when the main system couldn't wait to issue a mission.

The little white cat lay listlessly on his shoulder and said dejectedly, "How can we get away from that family of lunatics?"

"The male supporting character is just a stepping stone for the protagonist, so he deliberately made me give him leverage to solidify his 'greedy for wealth and glory' character."

Jiang Chen packed his things and said softly, "Since the system is willing to give us money to spend, isn't it just like 'going' home?"

The main system didn't say that going back would mean being bound to them, and besides, I can use legal means to protect myself.

"Huh? What legal weapon?" The little white cat tilted its head, looking very curious.

Just as he finished packing his few belongings, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and prepared to leave, the policewoman who had previously greeted him was already waiting outside the hotel.

"Jiang Chen, we understand what happened just now." The policewoman patted his shoulder and comforted him, "That's how the law is, and there's nothing else we can do to help you get more."

I hope you can successfully integrate into your biological parents' family.

After all, blood is thicker than water; give them some time, things should get better.

As she spoke, she took out a fountain pen and put it in his shirt pocket, whispering, "Keep this pen with you at all times."

It contains a miniature camera and a memory card.

If you don't have the means, just write down what you think is being targeted and come to me immediately.

This is the best solution our branch can help you achieve.

At the very least, evidence of being ostracized makes it easier to identify psychological abuse.

I hope they will treat you well.

After today's court hearing and custody transfer were broadcast online, many people contacted us hoping to adopt you.

However, Yin Bowen refused to give up custody.

Hopefully, everything will gradually get back on track.

Remember, no matter what you encounter that you can't solve on your own, just like that day when you bravely walked into the police station seeking help, boldly come to us!

Your uncles and aunts will all try their best to help you!

Chapter Twelve: Stay Away from Trashy People to Live a Better Life

Jiang Chen bowed deeply to her in gratitude.

The laws and regulations in this world are quite humane, but unfortunately the original owner was too sentimental and never thought of using legal means to protect himself.

Otherwise, he could escape Du Pingping's torment if he reported the abuse to the police.

In the original storyline, Du Jiangchen endured until Yin Bowen discovered the truth first and secretly contacted Du Pingping. When Du Pingping beat her up, she let slip the truth and ran to find her biological parents.

Because the original owner did not choose legal means, the dispute between the two families was always handled and resolved privately.

Even when the two children were separated, Du Pingping told Yin Bowen that her family was not well-off and could not afford to raise Yin Zigui; at the same time, she was surprised and condemned Du Jiangchen for refusing to come back and continue to follow her.

After Jiang Chen entered the story, he made a series of bold moves. At least now, if the protagonist wants to establish a "true, good, and beautiful" persona, apart from Mrs. Yin and the female lead who are willing to believe him, probably no one else will.

"I really hope everything goes well for this child." The policewoman watched his tall figure disappear into the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "I hope that the hardships he endured in his first fifteen years made him experience all the bitterness of life early, and that his future life will be filled with warmth, happiness, and sweetness!"

The little white cat nestled on its host's shoulder and whispered, "Host, that policewoman is so kind. She's wishing you well."

"It's a pity that the original owner never met such warm-hearted people in her entire life." Jiang Chen sighed, "The Yin family of three is not as kind as a stranger."

The whole family drained the original owner's marrow and blood, then ate human blood buns, continuing their comfortable and happy life.

The atmosphere in the Yin family was very united and loving at this time.

"Don't be afraid, Zigui. Mom will protect you and make sure you grow up healthy. I won't let anyone take you away from me!" Mrs. Yin hugged the protagonist and comforted her softly. "Your father has already applied for family immigration. We'll be able to leave here soon!"

Our lives will return to normal then.

"Mom, Dad, Luo Xi, and Zi Gui, just the four of us, a happy family."

Du Zigui was initially feeling apprehensive, but upon hearing her mother's words, she was immediately filled with joy. "Really? I will always be Mom and Dad's child!"

Even without blood ties, we've lived together for so many years. The debt of being born is not as great as the debt of being raised. Zigui would never abandon her parents to go after that woman!

“My Zigui is the best.” Mrs. Yin looked at him gently and nodded with satisfaction. “You are indeed a good child that your mother raised with her own hands. You understand your mother the most and are the most considerate.”

As Yin Luoxi looked through the sweet and happy photos of the family of four, she said firmly, "I will stand with my mother and brother."

"That guy who tried to come to our house and ruin our lives, if he dares to show his face, I'll beat him out!"

"Girls should be gentle and kind, not like hitting and slapping," Mrs. Yin said softly and coquettishly. "Don't say such rude things in the future."

This kind of thing can be handled by security.

Yin Luoxi nodded, "That's right! This is a high-end residential area; he simply can't get in without access control!"

Du Zigui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He never imagined that he would not be related to his dearest family by blood. The thought that the ugly and rude woman was actually his mother sent chills down Du Zigui's spine.

Jiang Chen eats leftovers every day!

Do I want to live that kind of life?

That's terrifying!

He had personally witnessed that the delinquent girl, Du Rui, extorting money from Jiang Chen, who was then brutally beaten when he refused. Although he had kindly given Du Rui his pocket money, the ungrateful Jiang Chen berated him for aiding and abetting evil.

We need to switch identities; having an older sister like that is truly disgusting!

After a hearty dinner, Du Zigui was lying in bed listening to music and playing the latest game console when he suddenly heard a knock at the door. He jumped out of bed, flung open the bedroom door, and shouted, "Dad's home! You've worked hard, dinner's ready..."

Before he could finish speaking, Du Zigui saw the boy following behind his father and his face turned pale, swallowing back what he was about to say.

Yin Luoxi, dressed in cute pajamas, greeted him with a smile, "Dad, when are we going abroad to get rid of that guy?"

The next second she saw "that guy" standing behind her father.

"Du Jiangchen, you're shameless!" Yin Luoxi's face darkened, and she dragged her younger brother Du Zigui to their father's side, pointing at Jiangchen and crying out, "I only have one brother, kick this guy out! Kick him out!"

Let him go back to his own home!

"Let him go back!"

Mrs. Yin came out when she heard the commotion. She looked coldly at the father and son standing in the entrance hall, tears welling in her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "You are such an ingrate who doesn't even remember the kindness of raising you. You are too selfish!"

"You only think about your own interests and status. If our family were poorer than your adoptive mother's family, you would definitely refuse to leave!"

[Mission: Confuse Mrs. Yin, inciting intense hatred between the male and female leads. Reward: Ten million RMB.]

The sound of the main system issuing a task made Jiang Chen pause slightly as he took something out of his pocket. He looked everyone up and down and sneered, "Mrs. Yin, how can you be so hypocritical?"

Isn't Du Zigui the one you're talking about who only thinks about his own interests, status, and selfishness?

It was clearly because he saw that his biological mother's family was too poor that he stayed here and refused to leave.

Why should I stay by the side of someone who has no blood relation to me, who stole me from my parents, beats and abuses me every day, doesn't let me eat, and makes me do heavy work every day?

If you want to be a masochist, that's your business. Why should you expect others to be like you?

Du Zigui's refusal to return to his poor home demonstrates his kindness;

Does not wanting to be abused mean I'm an ungrateful wretch?

Don't forget how family reunions happen.

I tried to resist the abuse and escape this hellhole, and used legal means to protect myself, which is how the hospital found you.

Even without your intervention, I would have severed ties with Du Pingping and pursued her legal responsibility!

After the custody was decided this afternoon, Du Zigui should have started thinking about returning to his biological mother. Why didn't he take any action?

Of course you support him.

Mrs. Yin, you've gone to great lengths to protect the child of the enemy who switched your own child.

"In that case, please sign the agreement relinquishing custody."

As Jiang Chen heard the little white cat remind him that the task was completed, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, placed it on the table, and turned to look at Yin Bowen, who had a worried look on his face, and said, "What did I tell you?"

You still want me to come back to a family like this?

Ha, Du Zigui is rare, but I don't care at all!

"Hurry up and sign this, I still have other procedures to complete. Don't waste my time."

The little white cat picked up its phone, opened the game, and casually did some calculations. It realized that it had already completed the previous task when it stepped into the house, and with the reward from this task, its host now had assets of thirty million.
