The second she finished her statement, Bo Jiu’s phone rang .

That special ringtone made her stiffen . She took her phone and glanced at the screen . Although it wasn’t a recorded number, it was an extremely familiar string of numbers .
She knew that if it hadn’t been something big, Hoshino would never have called her .
Bo Jiu looked at Movie Queen An . “I’m sorry, I have to take this call . ” With that, she stood up .
Once she reached the entrance, she seemed to have become a totally different person, especially her eyes, which had taken on a glint of light, making her look like a devil of the night, dangerous and mysterious . “Hello . ”
“Rao Rong is in trouble . ” Hoshino continued to operate his computer . “The entire esports industry is saying your match is rigged . ”
“Rigged?” Bo Jiu arched a brow .
“Mmh . ”
“The syndicate is going to make Rao Rong the scapegoat to divert the attention . ” Bo Jiu narrowed her eyes . “A Hero’s son shouldn’t be treated in such a manner, Rao Rong worked harder than everyone else for this match . If Rao Rong hadn’t been threatened, the opponents would have faced a harsher defeat . ”

Hoshino chuckled, his voice warm as always . “Should we take action?”
“Mmh . ” Bo Jiu looked up at the sky . “Let’s meet outside the police station . ”
“Seems like you already have a plan . ” Hoshino reached for the keys on his table . “I’ll prepare the disguise and props . Which design are you looking for?”
Bo Jiu thought for a moment . “A wooden guitar, white t-shirt, black trench coat, face mask, hair dye and a motorcycle, preferably a cool looking one . ”
“What are you planning?” Hoshino glanced down at his information . “Why do you need a guitar?”
Bo Jiu smiled, looking devilish . “Since it’s a comeback, the audience would need to testify . Or else, it wouldn’t be living up to the impersonator’s efforts . ”
“Z, you’re going to break the rules . ” Even though he seemed to be chiding her, his eyes were brighter than before as though it had regained life . “I understand, see you later . ”
“See you later . ” Bo Jiu hung up . She glanced back at Movie Queen An, looking slightly embarrassed . She wanted to see the Almighty again but time was too tight and he wasn’t willing to see her . Bo Jiu knew he was still upset and the best solution was to stay but she had a task that was more important than this . “Movie Queen An, I have something urgent to attend to right now . ”

Movie Queen An could tell from the expression on her face when she received the call . At her age, she had learnt to see things on a wider scale . “Alright, go on ahead . It’s time for that aloof boy of mine to worry or he would never understand the sincerity required in relationships . ”
Bo Jiu paused . She glanced up at Movie Queen An . “Brother Mo is alright, I’m the one with the problem, I’m not sincere enough . ”
Movie Queen An watched the youngster’s serious expression and broke into laughter . Why would anyone take up the blame? Her aloof son must have accumulated all the blessings from his previous life to have met such an understanding person like Jiu .
“You are a stark contrast to your Brother Mo, that boy is stone cold . ” Movie Queen An chuckled . “Jiu, you are going to be on the losing end if you keep this up . If he ever bullies you, just let me know, I’ll definitely be on your side . ”
Brother Mo glanced at the staircase . “Brother Mo doesn’t bully me . ”
Even back when they had been kids . On the surface, it looks like she is on the losing end . In reality, however, every time something happened, he would be there to protect her .
The An family had high standards in terms of upbringing . Grandpa An as well, he brought the Almighty up like a prince who could play the piano and chess .
When she had still been playing around in the mud, the Almighty had already been meeting foreign guests in his little suits . The An family had been beside theirs . Even though the exterior had been the same, the inside had been extremely clean .

Every time she had climbed the wall and smashed the flower pots, the Almighty would take the blame, claiming he had broken them accidentally .
There was once she had broken the An family’s safe . The Almighty had taken the blame and was punished by Grandpa An .
The Almighty would never make such mistakes because to him, this sort of mistakes was considered childish .
That had been the first time Grandpa An had punished him so severely .
Bo Jiu could still remember that her little pet had stood in the middle of the dining room, not a hint of frustration .
But he hadn’t been very pleased, his face hard and cold when he had grabbed her arm . “Little Bo Jiu, are you dumb, how can you hurt yourself trying to break the lock? Bring the first aid kit over, if I find even a drip of your blood on my bed sheets, I’m going to toss you out the window . ”
Bo Jiu had been used to such threats and hadn’t thought much of it . Besides, the Almighty probably hadn’t found her dirty since he was tending to her wound .
That day, as always, she had hugged her little pet to sleep . Before she had fallen asleep, he had muttered into her ear, “Seems like the safe would have to be changed seeing how dumb you are . ”
After that day, everything in the An family’ house that required locks had been electricized . At that time, Bo Jiu had promised herself to take care of her pet .
That was probably why Bo Jiu never wanted to be met with his gaze full of hatred .
Movie Queen An watched the youngster’s lowered gaze . Reaching out to push her, a faint smile was on her face . She was the perfect epitome of a mature and elegant woman . “Alright, go on, I’ll deal with your Brother Mo . ”
Bo Jiu didn’t have much time left . Besides, it might be a good thing to leave since the Almighty would finally be willing to have his meal .
After she left the courtyard, Bo Jiu glanced down at the time on her phone as she boarded the cab .
The night sky was lit up by the millions of city lights . The nightlife in the city center came alive, the commercial areas were packed with crowds, and neon lights plastered over the various buildings . The city was bustling .
In the study room of the Qin family’s house, Qin Mo sat in his original position . But other than before, the lighter that had been hurting his palms was now placed into his laptop…
