Emperor Xiu created a website under the name "Xiu" to help find missing children. At the same time, he optimized the previous facial matching, which can not only find people by bone structure, but also simulate what they will look like when they grow up by their childhood appearance and their parents' appearance, thus filtering and locking them in the vast sea of people.
He sent the new version to the police and then worked with them to help families who had lost children through legal channels.
With strong official support, the website quickly spread.
However, after checking the data on the website and the police, Di Xiu found that the efficiency was still not good.
The new program, codenamed "Eagle Eye," is effective at locating domestic fugitives, but its effectiveness in finding trafficked individuals is limited.
The most significant issue is the extremely high demands placed on the equipment during operation. Overloading can even cause the equipment to overheat and fail, and it also consumes a huge amount of electricity. Furthermore, over 200,000 children are abducted each year. Additionally, in some underdeveloped and remote areas, police surveillance networks cannot fully cover the entire region. Then there are issues like transnational trafficking, where some individuals undergo disfigurement, which can also affect the accuracy of the procedures.
001 was immediately overwhelmed when he saw Di Xiu asking him for a bunch of documents, as if he wanted to study them in depth.
"Little Xiu Xiu, Great God, wake up! Our priority right now is to build our business and the Huo family. You don't need to rush these things." 001 grabbed his head and shook it wildly.
001 comes from the future, and the technological level of the future is naturally incomparable to that of today. From the moment he was manufactured, he naturally possessed knowledge and skills that were considered "common sense" in that era, yet far ahead of this society. However, due to the time and space management law, he cannot produce even a single mathematical formula, and he even has to report and stop anyone who disrupts the normal process of the world.
Of course, Emperor Xiu's current level is not high enough to disrupt the normal course of the world, so 001 lets him do whatever he wants.
Di Xiu: "I haven't neglected either my career or the Huo family."
001 continued to shake: "But you're just a vice governor, and the Huo family hasn't fallen yet. Xiao Xiuxiu, I won't feel at ease until you completely bring down the Huo family. How can you feel at ease? Besides, the male lead is back! He's back! I know those children are pitiful, but you'll have plenty of time to help them in the future. You should solve your own problems first."
“I am not…” Di Xiu suddenly stopped speaking, raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows, and said, “Okay.”
001 spared his head and his long, flowing hair, and asked him, "What were you trying to say you weren't?"
"nothing."
"Alright, so what are your plans after that? Huo Ting has the protagonist's halo, that little policeman is no match for him. Are you really comfortable letting him stay in the Huo family?"
Di Xiu tapped a few times on the keyboard, and the page switched from the missing relatives website to the entertainment news. At the very top was the news of the return of the long-lost crown prince of the Huo family.
001 muttered to himself, "He's more like the Grandson. The current 'Emperor' is still his grandfather."
Di Xiu scrolled down and said, "The Huo family will hold a banquet in a month."
"Ah, right, announcing Huo Ting's status as successor. I guess they want to build momentum for Huo Ting, plus the preparations, inviting some important figures, inviting the media, I don't know if a month is enough time."
"Let's give the Huo family a big gift."
001 looked at him suspiciously: "You're going to give me a gift? Under what pretext?"
Emperor Xiu: "..."
001 finally realized: "Are you trying to cause trouble?"
Emperor Xiu: "..."
"Hehe, what do you want to do? Is there anything you need me to do?"
...
A month, or more precisely, 29 days, is enough time for a lot to happen.
As Vincent said, Huo Ting is a genius, but also a fool. Vincent was referring to him running away from home for love, while here he was referring to him almost ruining the banquet.
With 001 as his helper, Di Xiu can freely roam the internet, while Yu Guihai, at present, is not even of any use. On the contrary, Di Xiu has been helping him all along.
And that was indeed the case; what Di Xiu wanted was for him to become the heir of the Huo family.
The Huo family has countless illegitimate children, and Yu Guihai is not particularly outstanding. However, as long as he can use Huo Ting as a stepping stone, he will instill the idea in everyone's mind that he is better than Huo Ting.
Huo Ting is a very intelligent person, but his intelligence is arrogant. He will bow to life's hardships, but he will not bow to those he looks down on. Growing up in the Huo family, a place that doesn't even respect national laws, he was destined to be arrogant.
Because of his personality, he offended many people when he worked at the bar, but he was good-looking, so there were always people willing to indulge his arrogance. He also had the air of a fallen nobleman, so many people fawned over him. Most importantly, his mother, Qiu Qiling, secretly sent people to protect him, and those who wanted to harm him didn't even live to see the next day.
When the Huo family was at its peak, Huo Ting could do whatever he wanted. He could suppress whomever he wanted, and he could get as much profit as he wanted in cooperation. Regardless of his attitude, as long as he could bring benefits, there would be plenty of people begging to cooperate.
However, when the Huo family is weak, if he tries to suppress them, he will inevitably face a timely backlash. If he tries to make exorbitant demands, he will inevitably encounter resistance. As for profits, it is naturally faster and more convenient to simply tear a piece off the Huo family.
So when he returned to the Huo family and tried to rebuild his business by taking over the assets under Huo Laoda's name, he was met with resistance because his former business partners were willing to pay penalties to break the contract and sever ties.
Old Master Huo was in a terrible predicament. He trusted his son too much, so he dumped everything on him the day after his son returned, intending for him to bring the person back. However, the son felt offended and went to find someone else instead.
Other families also did not want to cooperate with the Huo family at this time, and all politely declined.
No one wanted to cooperate with the Huo family at this time, except for the Shan family, on the condition that Huo Ting marry the Shan family's daughter.
001, a bystander, said: "I know, I know. When the male lead's family encounters problems and needs outside help, there will definitely be a father who dotes on his daughter and will provide financial assistance for his daughter's happiness. But the male lead will definitely agree on the surface, and after the engagement, he will drag things out until the family recovers and the female lead comes back, turning her into a resentful woman."
Huo Ting refused. After all, he was proud and wouldn't sacrifice his happiness for a partnership.
He was having a rough time in business, and he was also having a rough time at home—because of an illegitimate child.
Because Old Master Huo was traditional and rigid, valuing both legitimate and illegitimate children, he never brought any of his illegitimate children home, nor did he allow any of his five sons' illegitimate children to be acknowledged, in order to avoid disputes over legitimacy.
Now, there's an exception in the family: Yu Guihai.
