[I'm crying... I'm really moved to tears... Sister Liu's first half of life was so bitter! Abducted, losing family and loved ones... It turns out that no amount of money can fill the emptiness in one's heart!]
[Sister Liu used her own experience to tell us that having healthy and safe family by our side is more precious than any jewelry! Money truly isn't everything! Losing your dearest loved ones makes mansions and jewels feel cold and empty!]
[Such a moving speech! As soon as I finished listening, I called my mom! My family's safety is the greatest blessing. Madam Liu lost what we have, and we must cherish it!]
[She dared to publicly admit she used to be a hater! She dared to confess her jealousy! She dared to call her past self a "fucking idiot"! Sister Liu's courage to dissect her inner darkness and emptiness is truly admirable and worthy of respect!]
[Sister Liu deserves respect, but I want to say that Cifera is the real MVP behind the scenes!]
[Exactly! Cifera might have just been trying to save someone, but what was the result? Not only did she save a life, but she also enlightened Sister Liu! This indirectly led to the future Cifera Child Rescue Foundation, which will save countless children! That's golden merit!]
[It's truly a case of planting willows unintentionally, and they flourish into a lush grove! Who could have imagined that Cifera initially infiltrated the Expert Team solely to complete her mission? Sister Liu was right—this is truly fate's most wonderful arrangement.]
[Haha, if that's the case, then those of us who voted to send Cifera into the "Hell Start" also deserve some credit!]
[I want to say, the name "Cifera Child Rescue Foundation" is perfect! It's both adorable and heartwarming! Do you think Cifera will blush when she hears it?]
[Cifera: No, I'll proudly cross my arms and strike a pose!]
[Ha ha! Isn't Cifera there in person? That Reporter Chen must be her! Look, the director is giving her the camera—she's grinning ear to ear, clapping her little hands so enthusiastically!]
[I'm suddenly a little nervous. Tonight's auction carries immense significance—it represents Liu Ruyan's rebirth and the hopes of countless children! I hope Cifera doesn't cause any trouble.]
[Don't worry, Cifera knows her limits. I trust she'll know exactly what to do!]
The scene cuts to the second floor of the Pursuit Team's base.
After Liu Ruyan's speech, the room fell silent. The projector's light illuminated the diverse expressions on the faces gathered around the conference table.
They hadn't expected that while they failed to track down Cifera, they would uncover the extraordinary good she had accomplished.
Even the burly Zhang Hong's eyes had reddened. He sniffed loudly and said in a gruff voice, "She really... she really did something amazing."
"Liu Ruyan really has it tough..."
"To be honest, even though I knew it was just a show, I was actually quite angry when Cifera disguised herself as a team member and tricked us earlier."
"But now that I think about it, if Cifera hadn't deceived us, wouldn't all these wonderful things we're witnessing now simply cease to exist?"
"Now all I want to say is—Cifera's deception was brilliant! A masterpiece!"
Feng Chiyu, hearing Zhang Hong's words, nodded in admiration.
"Cifera truly has the aura of a 'chosen one.' Even though the show's theme is about deterring criminals and our Pursuit Team is supposed to be the main focus, she always manages to steal the spotlight."
"She's completely stolen the show, yet she's won us over completely!"
Unlike Zhang Hong and Feng Chiyu's awe, Lin Zhiyuan always found a different angle for analysis.
Pushing up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses grew profound.
"Cifera's behavioral patterns... go far beyond the scope of a mere 'thief.' Her actions have a powerful butterfly effect—they're not simply self-serving, but often create additional positive impacts. This adds a new dimension to how we assess her logic and motives."
"Perhaps capturing her in the future will prove crucial."
Even as Lin Zhiyuan analyzed the situation with utmost seriousness, a barely perceptible tremor in his voice betrayed his own awe at the positive changes Cifera had sparked.
[Lord Lin is so rational, analyzing things even at a time like this?]
[Exactly! At a time like this, we should just be shouting "666" like Brother Zhang and Wind God!]
[You guys don't get it. Lord Lin might be analyzing strategies on the surface, but he's actually subtly praising Cifera.]
[That's the difference between a strategist and a warrior.]
[Speaking of which, Little Bingbing doesn't seem to be reacting much. Shouldn't she be happy about her wife's achievements?]
[Her wife just received a public, heartfelt confession from a romantic rival. The fact that Little Bingbing isn't flying off the handle shows remarkable restraint. You expect her to be beaming?]
[Hahaha! You guys are geniuses! You're killing me with laughter.]
On the screen, Nie Bing's gaze remained fixed on the bold letters: "Cifera Child Rescue Foundation." At the press conference, Liu Ruyan was outlining the foundation's future operational plans.
Though Nie Bing's face remained expressionless, her slightly heaving chest and tightly clenched fists betrayed her inner turmoil.
Of course, it wasn't because of a jealous rival, as some joked, but because Nie Bing felt a strong sense of urgency and... apprehension.
Finally, when she heard Wang Lei join the chorus of praise for Cifera, Nie Bing took a deep breath, abruptly raised her head, and swept her ice-sharp gaze across everyone seated at the conference table. Her voice, cold and grave, cut through the air:
"Everyone!
"Cifera was instrumental in establishing the Liu Ruyan Foundation, indirectly helping countless children who may benefit in the future. This is undoubtedly a commendable achievement, worthy of recognition.
"But!"
Her tone shifted abruptly.
"Precisely because this foundation carries such immense significance, tonight's charity auction absolutely cannot suffer any mishaps!
"It must proceed smoothly, and we must raise the anticipated funds. This is the bottom line!
"Tonight's charity auction must not be disrupted by anyone! Especially—Cifera herself!
"Cifera left clues to draw our attention to this auction. Her intentions are unmistakable. Given her modus operandi and abilities, this heavily secured, media-saturated, and highly publicized event represents the most tempting stage for her!
"She's highly likely to strike here!"
As she spoke, Nie Bing's voice carried a chilling decisiveness:
"Once she makes her move, whether she succeeds or fails, chaos will inevitably erupt! The media's focus will shift, the auction's progress will be disrupted, and the bidders' enthusiasm will wane...
"Any one of these risks could undermine this meticulously planned charity event! It would render Ms. Liu Ruyan's painstaking efforts futile and crush the hopes of countless children awaiting rescue!"
Nie Bing abruptly rose to her feet, her posture ramrod straight, exuding a commanding aura. Her piercing gaze locked onto Liu Shanhe:
"I propose we dispense with further confirmation and act immediately, sparing no effort to ensure the charity auction proceeds safely and smoothly!
"Any attempt to disrupt the auction or undermine order, regardless of who the perpetrator is, must be decisively and swiftly suppressed and eliminated!
"This is our duty, whether we're participating in the program or not!"
