After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 618 - 608: Sugar Figure

"That dagger is meant to hide the wound left by the silver needle your daughter left behind, and you also messed up Mr. Li’s house, right? That footprint was left on purpose, way too obvious, totally fake. And that half-burnt paper, you did that on purpose too."Just as Xu Renfei was about to speak, a large group of officials burst into the Prince Mansion. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, approached the crowd, "Who reported this case?"

Bi Xia and Xu Renfei were both stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Xu Renfei bent over, laughing and pointing at the person, "Director Li, you look hilarious!"

Bi Xia also laughed heartily, "I say, Director Li, have you had enough of working behind the scenes and want to experience being in front of the camera?"

Director Li rolled his eyes and straightened his hat, "Shoo, shoo, this wasn’t my idea. Director Wu said we were short on people and insisted I step in."

Bi Xia pulled Xu Renfei while laughing, "Well, seeing you guys here, I know the case is solved, so we’re off. Don’t forget to reward us!"

Director Li stopped Bi Xia, "How does my arrival mean the case is solved? I haven’t said anything yet!"

Xu Renfei leaned on Bi Xia, grinning, "Haven’t you heard the saying? You guys in charge always show up fashionably late after everything is over."

Watching Bi Xia and Xu Renfei leave, Director Li looked at the actors with a pained expression. He cleared his throat, "Everyone, you’ve worked hard."

"This is killing me!" Mr. Li somehow appeared, "Do you understand the agony of breaking character because someone didn’t follow the script and forced you to act awkwardly?"

"Exactly!" Miss Wang chimed in, "We had to constantly be on guard for their sarcastic remarks, and the worst part is their comments were spot on. We had to stifle our laughter!"

Director Li: ...

"Ahem!" Director Li cleared his throat, "Everyone, you’ve worked hard. Tonight, extra food!"

He still had to clean up the mess those two mischievous brats left behind. He had practically invited trouble with Bi Xia and Xu Renfei teaming up; they were practically the dynamic duo of chaos.

Xu Renfei smiled, "You’ve never seen Little Jiu’er and Xiao Wu together. They’re not just chaotic—they’re the Demon Lord of Mayhem in tandem!"

Bi Xia and Xu Renfei leisurely walked down the road, encountering Zhang Dafu and Meng Han running around, Yu Yu and An Yi singing, and Li Han carrying rice to distribute to different shops.

"Ahhh! My dear brother~~~" Before they could react, someone suddenly jumped in front of them. With tear-filled eyes, Kai looked at Bi Xia, "Dear brother, please help us!"

Xu Renfei immediately blocked the way, "No!"

Kai chuckled and pulled out a bag of fried chicken cutlets, "For the boss~~~"

Bi Xia’s eyes lit up, grabbing the chicken cutlets, "Let’s go, little brother!"

Xu Renfei: ... Can you have a bit more self-control!!!

Kai needed Bi Xia’s help with a Sudoku puzzle of medium to high difficulty. Kai and AC had been stuck on it for a long time. Bi Xia rubbed his chin and grinned at Kai, "How about this, I help you solve this once, and our teams form an alliance, deal?"

Alliance?

Kai and AC exchanged glances, weighed their strengths, and nodded, "Deal!" Although they didn’t know what game was next, following a smart guy like Bi Xia was definitely a good move!

As Bi Xia solved the Sudoku, Xu Renfei told him he was going to look for something else to eat and fill his stomach.

When he returned with two bowls of sweet water noodles and a cup of milk tea, he saw Kai and AC cheering with the task card, "Where’s Little Jiu’er?"

AC shook his head, "No idea. He left after helping us, said he had something to do."

Xu Renfei frowned slightly and turned to the cameraman A Wen, "Can you find Lin Zi?"

A Wen shook his head. Xu Renfei looked worried, "Let’s find Little Jiu’er, make sure he’s not being bullied."

A Wen: ... Isn’t he the one who bullies others...

Just then, two small sugar figures appeared in front of Xu Renfei. Two little figures dressed in black and blue robes, one holding a jade flute and the other a long sword, just like the ones Bi Xia had eaten before.

Originally, Xu Renfei wanted to keep them as a souvenir, but... didn’t Little Jiu’er eat them?

Xu Renfei’s heart skipped a beat, he spun around to see the handsome young man in black robes, lips curved in a slight smile. She tilted her head and held out the sugar figures to Xu Renfei, "Don’t want them? I sang another song to get the master to make new ones for us."
