On the other side of the mall, Lin Cheng, who had "lost" his way, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He had just received a report from his department. After hanging up the phone, he looked down and saw that he was only holding the ears of a little rabbit doll in his hand, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen.

He! Lost! Chaochao!

The CEO's precious daughter!!!

These words boomed in Lin Cheng's mind like a flashing special effect.

He stood there dumbfounded.

Was it lost, or was it abducted by human traffickers?

Lin Cheng was so angry he wanted to bang his head on the ground!

Putting aside the fact that President Huo would dismember him into eight pieces, cut him in half at the waist, and tear him apart by five horses, if something really happened to Chaochao, he would never have peace of mind for the rest of his life!

After quickly browsing the mall plaza to no avail, Lin Cheng tremblingly took out his phone, preparing to deploy Huo's security.

At this moment.

"Uncle Lin!"

Hearing the familiar baby voice, he looked up abruptly and saw Chaochao standing safely in front of him. The heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.

Thank goodness, the body was saved.

Lin Cheng rushed over immediately, still shaken, his voice trembling slightly: "Chao Chao, where did you go?"

Chaochao: "I'm going to find my big brother. I already told Uncle Lin, and you said it was okay."

She informed her uncle before leaving.

Lin Cheng's heart trembled violently.

He didn't hear that at all! He was telling his employees what was going on!

Fortunately, Chaochao came back.

The little girl's eyes were still a bit red from crying, and her once pretty little pigtails were now a bit frizzy.

Lin Cheng noticed it.

He imagined the little boy wiping away tears of loneliness and helplessness after he couldn't find anyone, and he felt extremely guilty and bitter.

"Did someone bully you?" he asked with concern.

"No," Chaochao blinked, then puffed out her chest with a touch of pride, "I went to fight the bad guys!"

She was very brave in protecting her older brother!

Lin Cheng couldn't understand what she was saying, but he was still relieved.

Only then did he notice that Chaochao's little hand was still being held by a boy.

The boy was tall and slender, with striking and handsome features. His phoenix eyes had a lazy yet sharp curve, like a noble and powerful beast with ancient bloodlines. Just by standing there, he exuded a sense of oppression.

Several girls nearby wanted his contact information, but were too afraid to approach him.

He is no ordinary person.

He pulled Chaochao over and gave the boy a polite smile: "May I ask who you are?"

Chaochao was the first to answer, raising her hand excitedly: "I...I know! It's the older brother I met at the police station!"

Xie Jingcheng's hand suddenly went empty, exposed to the cold air, and he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Hearing the little girl's happy, sweet voice, he looked at Lin Cheng but didn't say who he was.

His voice was cold, with a metallic, icy quality.

“Keep the kids in check,” he glanced at Chaochao, “especially kids like this.”

Chaochao asked sweetly, "What kind? Is it this cute?"

Xie Jingcheng said expressionlessly, "So naive and innocent."

Lin Cheng: "..."

The system glared at him: "Hey! How dare you call my daughter stupid?!"

Chaochao asked the system in her mind, "Xiaoqi, what does 'naive and innocent' mean?"

She didn't ask Xie Jingcheng and Lin Cheng, otherwise it would make her seem uncultured.

System: What do you mean, what do you mean! Those twisted twins don't make sense; they just randomly picked Cybertron...

"Uh... baby, you misheard. It meant you're like a little white rabbit." The brainstorming system finally sifted out a word, wiping away unfounded sweat.

The little girl was very happy.

"Bunny! Of course, Xiaoqi and I are from the same family." She rubbed her soft little face against the bunny doll.

Yes, when the system first arrived, it introduced itself as her bunny doll to avoid making the child too resistant.

Despite saying that she didn't need the doll to stay by her side, Chaochao still took it with her everywhere she went.

The little girl really treated the system like family.

System 7017, with its soft heart, burst forth with an unprecedentedly firm resolve.

It must protect Chaochao!

Protect her healthy growth!

Reach the pinnacle of the world!

"Yes, it was indeed my oversight."

Here, Lin Cheng realized his mistake and sincerely accepted the boy's teachings, even though the boy was almost ten years younger than him.

Chaochao is going back to the company.

Before parting, Chaochao's little face was full of worry.

"Brother, be careful."

"Boys also need to protect themselves when they're out."

"Don't go with strangers."

The child gave instructions in a sweet, childish voice.

Xie Jingcheng felt like he was the three-year-old child.

"Don't get hurt again."

Chaochao waved her little hand reluctantly, "Bye-bye, brother~"

Xie Jingcheng gave a faint "hmm" and watched the little dumpling's figure slowly disappear into the high-rise buildings.

Only after the person had completely disappeared from sight did he take out his constantly buzzing phone from his pocket.

His phoenix eyes glanced at the caller ID on the screen, a cold sarcasm freezing in his gaze.

Then he hung up without hesitation.

After separating from Xie Jingcheng, a series of "buzzing" electrical sounds rang out from the system's main unit, followed by a merciless announcement from a female machine voice.

"Target locked [Xie Jingcheng], level of corruption is medium. Please try to reduce the character's corruption value."

This sound stunned the system on the spot.

What?

Isn't Xie Jingcheng the male lead?

Isn't 7017 a system for reforming villains?

This isn't what we agreed on!

The shocking system is now no different from encountering an unscrupulous company, where the interview says it's a 9-to-5 job, but after joining the company, you find yourself working 996.

Not only does it double as a wet nurse and caregiver, but it also... well, it seems like reforming the villains isn't its job...

But it insists on going to labor arbitration!!!
