Chapter 107: 107. Big Brother

107. Chapter 107: Big Brother's Consciousness Has Not Returned

In fact, Sheng Tinglan had been watching the online reviews all afternoon, so he had also noticed some details. He spoke up again to question his secretary: "I see that the negative reviews about Luo Xichuan online are becoming fewer and fewer; I can't even find one or two. I already had you send internet trolls to post dirt on Luo Xichuan, but now I can't see any negative reviews about him. This is clearly the result of the relevant keywords being blocked. The negative reviews about Luo Xichuan on every platform have been blocked. Is this also Yan Yu's handiwork?"

"This..."

The secretary was stunned. He hadn't expected Sheng Tinglan to observe so carefully. He really hadn't paid much attention to this aspect, so his answer was not very certain. He said, "It should also be Yan Yu's handiwork..."

As a result, this sentence aroused Sheng Tinglan's dissatisfaction. He frowned tightly and said, "'Should'? You investigated for an entire afternoon, and you give me such an uncertain answer? I want a definite reply. Don't come back to see me until you have investigated it clearly!"

"Yes!"

Frightened by Sheng Tinglan's aura, Secretary Yang responded repeatedly, then turned and left without a moment's delay.

After the secretary went out, Sheng Tinglan sat back down in his chair. In fact, a figure suddenly flashed through his mind at this moment.

Luo Xixi.

That woman also has a system. Previous investigations revealed that she also has very powerful hacking skills. So, could it be that woman assisting Yan Yu in countering the smear campaign?

Damn it...

For some reason, Sheng Tinglan thought of another "Xixi" again. He remembered that his Xixi was also a master hacker. Her techniques were extremely superb. She had once told him that if she wanted to, she could easily break through the country's security network.

Previously at the club, Sheng Tinglan had already witnessed the powerful Fighting Skills of this Luo Xixi in the book. But at the time, the system said that because Luo Xixi was a Host, it was possible she had used points to exchange for Fighting Skills. But what about the hacking skills? Were they also exchanged for with points? But did she really have that many points to exchange for those high-level skills?

Now, a strong impulse was constantly surging in Sheng Tinglan's heart: Could Luo Xixi be his Xixi?

But the system had told him so firmly that in the same Book World, it was impossible for two Transmigrators from the same world to appear. Even if there was a possibility, it was extremely slim.

Moreover, the Luo Xixi in the book had no reaction when seeing his face. If it were his Xixi, it would be impossible for her to react so calmly. So, Sheng Tinglan could only suppress that strong thought of his once again.

【Sheng Tinglan, don't think too much.】

【Your Xixi is still waiting for you to complete the mission so she can be resurrected.】

【The Luo Xixi in the book just used points to exchange for skills, and by some coincidence, those skills happened to be ones Xixi knew, which is why you have such an absurd thought. Do not let that woman disturb your thoughts again.】

【Your mission is to annex the Luo Family and the Sheng Family, and have a happy ending with the heroine Luo Shiqing. Apart from that, do not think about anything else.】

【Do not think about it! Do not think about it!】

After constantly giving himself psychological suggestions, Sheng Tinglan finally managed to suppress those absurd thoughts of his once again.

Setting aside the matter of Luo Xixi for now.

What is truly tricky now is actually Yan Yu.

This person has already ruined his plans twice.

Yes.

Twice.

Although the system did not find out who was behind the scenes helping Suna counter the smear campaign last time because of the "obstacle" that changed Suna's death ending, looking at the public relations tactics online these two times, Sheng Tinglan had guessed it almost correctly. The last time Suna was able to escape a disaster, it must have been Yan Yu's handiwork too!

That man is always ruining his plans and causing his career to suffer. If he continues to indulge this man's actions, he doesn't know what kind of trouble he will stir up next.

Even if that person has a system, Sheng Tinglan intends to take action.

He must eliminate Yan Yu!

On the other side.

The Luo Family.

Although everyone had brought back the eldest, Luo Xichuan, Luo Xichuan's situation was still not optimistic because his consciousness had not returned.

"Xichuan, we are home. Say something to Mom."

Mother Luo, Bai Fengxia, knelt in front of her son, cupped his face, and called out to him once again. However, Luo Xichuan was like an empty shell without a soul.

His eyes, which used to be full of spirit, were now gray and incomparably hollow. Bai Fengxia called him for a long time, but Luo Xichuan had no reaction at all; he had completely become a doll.

"Xichuan, what has happened to you? Say something."

Seeing her son become like this, the joy Bai Fengxia felt from bringing her son back was also diluted. Her eye sockets began to turn red, and she was almost choking back sobs.

Seeing her brother like this, Luo Xixi was also heartbroken and felt terribly uncomfortable.

She asked the Baby System: 【Tong'er, what exactly is going on with my big brother? Before at the police station, he could at least speak and get angry at me, but now, he has no reaction to anyone.】

The Baby System came online and replied: 【Host, Luo Xichuan's current symptoms look very much like his personality has been stripped away, but this is strictly prohibited. I have already reported it upward, asking if the heroine and the others cheated and used some means to control Luo Xichuan's mind, but the Headquarters said there was no such thing. So now, I don't know what is going on either.】

【Is there something wrong with your Headquarters?】

After hearing what the Baby System said, Luo Xixi was annoyed and said: 【Does my big brother look normal right now? This is his personality being stripped away; the other side is cheating! How could Headquarters conclude that there was no cheating? Could the Heartthrob System be a nepotism hire? Is there someone shielding it?! That's why it can act so recklessly!】

【This...】

If it were in the past, the Baby System would definitely have refuted Luo Xixi's thoughts very firmly. Their systems are all the most just and fair; how could there be a case of one system shielding another?

But now the situation is indeed not right, so it also doesn't know how to answer Luo Xixi's questioning.

Seeing that the Baby System did not answer, Luo Xixi knew that it was also wavering. She continued: 【Tong'er, actually you also feel that something is wrong, right? I am very suspicious now that there is a system in your Headquarters targeting you! Tell me first, what is your feedback process? Which systems have to handle the appeals?】

【Um...】

The Baby System stammered, then said hesitantly: 【For our systems to appeal, we must first file a report, then send it to our branch department. Only after the branch department approves it can we appeal further upward and wait for feedback from Headquarters.】

After hearing this, Luo Xixi immediately discovered the key problem: 【It still needs to be approved by the branch department before it can continue to appeal upward? Then what if it isn't approved? Wouldn't your feedback reports just be intercepted directly?】

【That is correct.】

The Baby System responded.

【Tong'er, can you go and investigate? See at which stage of the process your appeal report was suppressed?】
