The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Tao Zhi stood on tiptoe on his electrocuted foot, holding onto Xu Yanze's arm and grimacing, but he couldn't straighten his calf.

Seeing this, Xu Yanze squatted down and grabbed Tao Zhi's ankle.

Tao Zhi felt inexplicably embarrassed and tried to pull his legs back but failed. Xu Yanze reached out and gently pressed Tao Zhi's calves. Tao Zhi held onto Xu Yanze's shoulders to steady himself.

Xu Yanchao was held down by the police again, and one of them locked one of his arms tightly. Xu Yanchao screamed and struggled, and was dragged out.

"Xu Yanze, are you still human?"

"Mom doesn't have many days left. You don't want to see her for the last time, so can't she even see my child?"

"Xu Yanze, you beast! The Xu family is destroyed because of you! You will not die a good death!"

Xu Yanze paused while massaging Tao Zhi's calf, but quickly recovered his composure and continued massaging gently.

Xu Yanchao was dragged away with tears streaming down his face, and the sound of cursing gradually faded away.

When Qi Zhuo, who was standing by, saw the police taking Xu Yanchao away, he immediately lost his obedient look and looked at Tao Zhi with his hands in his pockets.

Tao Zhi felt a little awkward and pulled his leg out of Xu Yanze's hand. Xu Yanze was stunned for a moment, then he concealed the turmoil in his eyes and stood up.

"Much better, thank you." Tao Zhi said.

"Yeah." Xu Yanze replied gently.

"You're so pretentious. I just shocked your legs and you almost peed." Qi Zhuo on the side commented.

"Go away, go away. You don't even know how to say thank you to your buddy for saving you. I don't know who got electrocuted and fell asleep just now." Tao Zhi said without giving in.

Tao Zhi and Qi Zhuo exchanged insults for quite some time before they finally stopped fighting.

The little boy at the door saw that they had stopped, then he walked up to Xu Yanze with his short legs and looked up.

"Uncle Xu, thank you for taking this trip." said the little boy.

Xu Yanze's expression remained unchanged as he lowered his eyes to look down at the little adult at his feet.

"Why did you follow him?" Xu Yanze asked.

"He looks a lot like you, I guess he is your brother." said the little boy.

"But I have told you that I will only let A Long or A Hu pick you up." Xu Yanze frowned slightly.

The little boy was silent for a few breaths, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

"I have always suspected that you are my father, but you cannot recognize me for some reason."

"It wasn't until I saw him today that I realized I wasn't your son."

"I was a little curious about what kind of person my dad was, so I followed him," the little boy explained.

"Have you come to any conclusion after this?" Xu Yanze asked.

"I won't be curious anymore." The little boy said seriously.

"Yeah." Xu Yanze responded.

The four of them walked out. Tao Zhi hesitated for a while and then pushed Qi Zhuo to the little boy.

"You take him ahead, I have something to say to Lao Xu in private." Tao Zhi said.

"There's so much shit going on."

While Qi Zhuo was complaining, he pulled the little boy's hand and walked forward. The little boy's legs were too short to keep up with the pace, so he was forced to jog. His face was full of dissatisfaction, but he could not resist.

Tao Zhi and Xu Yanze walked side by side.

Tao Zhi was confused and tried to open his mouth several times but didn't know how to start.

"What do you want to tell me?" Xu Yanze asked.

"That's... Xu Yanchao just said that the family was destroyed because of you. What's going on here?"

"I mean... forget it, this question seems weird, you'd better not answer me, my question is too offensive." Tao Zhi scratched his head awkwardly.

Xu Yanze parted his eyelashes and smiled slightly, but did not avoid the question.

"The Xu family went bankrupt because of the trap I set." Xu Yanze said it concisely in one sentence.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and his mouth was open and he couldn't close it.

Obviously, the plot in which Xu Yanze bankrupts his own family does not exist in the original text, and this behavior itself is extremely ooc for the character of Xu Yanze, the gentle second male lead.

Tao Zhi couldn't help but wonder if this was a chain reaction after the plot changes?

Xu Yanze is indeed the person who is currently the furthest away from the plot, and has basically gotten rid of the setting of being the backup male lead for the protagonist.

Seeing Tao Zhi's open astonishment, Xu Yanze felt depressed.

Would he hate myself for being so scheming?

"Can you tell me the reason?" Tao Zhi was a little dazed.

What kind of hatred could make a person choose to destroy his own family with his own hands, and then have no contact with his relatives until he dies, and even be unwilling to see his seriously ill mother for the last time.

"I'm sick and I'm treating myself in my own way." Xu Yanze said gently.

Tao Zhi was a little dazed.

He can even take revenge on and abandon his family, so what about Tao Zhi, the instigator of all Xu Yanze's suffering?

How did Xu Yanze feel as he spent five years as a friend to the "perpetrator" himself?

"What about me? Your illness is because of Tao...because of me." Tao Zhi pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"Is homosexuality a disease?" Xu Yanze asked.

Tao Zhi looked up when he heard this.

"of course not."

"I mean depression... I mean the wounds on your wrists." Tao Zhi felt unbearable in his heart.

"Tao Zhi, my depression is not because of you. You don't need to feel guilty or pity towards me." Xu Yanze said gently.

If liking you as a homosexual is a disease, then allowing it to fester to the point of being incurable doesn't seem like a bad thing.

"Old Xu, I..." Tao Zhi was interrupted by Xu Yanze before he could finish his words.

"Don't hate me, Tao Zhi." Xu Yanze said with his eyes lowered, his voice trembling slightly.

Tao Zhi was stunned.

Obviously Xu Yanze does not hate the original owner Tao Zhi now.

Tao Zhi thought of the photos of himself that Xu Yanze had saved as mentioned by the little boy, and his heart was torn.

Tao Zhi calmed himself down, raised his head with a smile on his face, raised his hand and patted Xu Yanze's shoulder in a friendly manner, making a loud noise.

"What are you thinking about? Everyone in your family is of the same character. It doesn't matter if you don't have them. You can live a colorful life on your own, and you have good friends like us to accompany you." Tao Zhi said.

Xu Yanze's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he felt warmth rising in his heart.

"Well, you two are enough for me." Xu Yanze's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Speaking of your mother...Xu Yanchao's mother, do you want to go see her? Xu Yanchao just said that she doesn't have much time left." Tao Zhi asked.

"I will arrange a medical team to treat her." Xu Yanze replied.

It means that I won't go to see her.

Tao Zhi didn't ask too many other questions and just chatted with Xu Yanze. His eyes fell on Qi Zhuo and the little boy who were walking crookedly in front of him.

"That little brat really deserves your education. He has a twisted expression and speaks in a set way, like a little old man. He looks more like you than Xu Yanchao's child." Tao Zhi teased.

"Don't you like kids with his personality?" Xu Yanze asked.

"I like it. Just look at me and see how well behaved he is, not crying or making a fuss."

"Hey, you weren't like him when you were a kid, were you? You had a stern face every day, and other kids probably didn't dare to come over and play with you, hahaha."

As Tao Zhi spoke, he imagined a smaller version of Xu Yanze with a sullen face, and laughed himself to the point of shaking.

"Almost." Xu Yanze replied in a gentle voice.

When I was a child, I was praised too highly and no other children wanted to play with me.

Several people walked to the gate of the community. Ding Jie, who came to the gate, saw that her child was safe and sound, and rushed over crying.

Seeing this, Qi Zhuo let go of the little boy's hand and consciously stood aside to give the mother and son room to perform.

Ding Jie squatted down and hugged the little boy in her arms. Crying poured out of her lips and her arms holding the boy trembled uncontrollably.

The little boy was stunned for a few seconds, then stretched out his little arms and hugged Ding Jie back.

"I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry. I won't go with strangers again." The little boy coaxed.

Ding Jie let go of the little boy and held his shoulders with both hands. The delicate makeup on her face had come off due to tears, making her look a little disheveled.

"Can you tell mom why you want to go with him?" Ding Jie asked in a trembling voice.

"I wanted to know what kind of person my father was, but now I realize that my mother is all I need," said the little boy.

Upon hearing this, Ding Jie burst into tears again.

"I'm sorry, it's mom who failed to give you a complete family, I'm sorry..."

Tao Zhi and the other two stood aside and did not disturb them. Looking at the mother and child crying, the three of them tacitly fell silent.

Tao Zhi couldn't help but think of his mother.

In reality, the only person whom I cherish and miss is my mother who has taken care of me since I was a child.

If I fail in my mission and get wiped out, my mother will be very sad.

Qi Zhuo nudged Tao Zhi with his arm.

"Hey, why do you have such a messed up expression? Are you missing your mother?" Qi Zhuo teased.

"Yeah, don't you want to?" Tao Zhi rolled his eyes.

"I was abandoned at the door of an orphanage when I was born. The woman who gave birth to me must have died in some corner a long time ago. I don't miss her at all." Qi Zhuo curled his lips.

Qi Zhuo looked at Xu Yanze who had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Why do you miss mom too?"

The equality and equality of all create success for everyone.

Tao Zhi didn't know what expression to make for a moment when he heard that. He just wanted to zip up Qi Zhuo's big mouth.

"You are really talking about things that are irrelevant. Stop talking nonsense." Tao Zhi retorted.

The two of them started to insult each other again.

At the same time, behind a tree outside the community gate, the person hiding was pressing the camera with his finger, creating an illusion.
