A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

In the room—

Qin Shuang lay sprawled on the carpet, drenched in sweat, a smug smile on her lips.

"My sister is gone."

Lin Yu patted her thigh: "You did that on purpose."

"Hmm~" Qin Shuang crawled over and rested her head on Lin Yu's lap: "Let your older sister hear it~"

She's so old-fashioned, she's never experienced this kind of joy in her entire life!

"Aren't you afraid she'll get angry?"

"So what if she's angry?" Qin Shuang pouted. "Anyway, she'll get angry sooner or later..."

Qin Shuang didn't finish speaking, but Lin Yu understood.

Qin Shuang looked up at him and said, "Brother Lin Yu, Qin Xue has a great figure."

"Oh?"

"Really~" Qin Shuang blinked: "Older than me, with a slimmer waist, and longer legs..."

"You're always wearing a long face, what a waste!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "So?"

"So..." Qin Shuang leaned closer and whispered in Lin Yu's ear:

"When I get back to the reserve, I'll give her a good 'training'..."

When you see her next time, she'll definitely be very obedient~

Lin Yu didn't say anything.

Qin Shuang took this as tacit agreement, a smile playing on her lips, before standing up and starting to get dressed.

"I reckon my sister's coming again soon." She fixed her hair in front of the mirror. "I need to make it look convincing."

Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Qin Shuang made a "shh" gesture to Lin Yu and skipped over to open the door.

Qin Xue was standing outside the door.

She changed into a white trench coat, her face expressionless, but her ears were a little red.

"Sis~ You're here!" Qin Shuang rushed over and hugged her. "I was taking a shower and I've been waiting for ages~"

Qin Xue stiffened and pushed Qin Shuang away: "Get dressed first."

"Okay, okay~" Qin Shuang turned and ran back to her room, "Wait for me~"

Only Qin Xue and Lin Yu remained in the living room.

Qin Xue didn't look at Lin Yu, but walked to the window and stood there: "Deputy Director Lin."

"Miss Qin."

We're leaving tomorrow.

"Bon Voyage."

Qin Xue was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at him: "After the Abyss Trial... will you come to the protected area?"

"meeting."

"...Be careful." Qin Xue's voice was very soft: "It's different there than Jiangcheng."

"Why is it different?"

"Jiangcheng is a planned development area, and a Rank 5 ranking is already considered top-tier." Qin Xue looked out the window: "But in that area... Rank 5 is only mid-tier."

Lin Yu nodded: "I understand, thanks for reminding me."

Qin Shuang came out after changing her clothes. She was wearing a light blue dress, white stockings, and small leather shoes, and looked pure and lovely.

He was a completely different person from how he looked with the silver pole earlier; the contrast was stark.

"I'm all better~" She took Qin Xue's arm. "Sis, let's go."

Qin Xue nodded, said "Goodbye" to Lin Yu, and turned to leave.

Qin Shuang turned around and mouthed, "Wait for my message~"

The door closed, and Lin Yu sat on the sofa for a while before getting up and leaving.

Now that the work is done, it's time to get down to business.

Back at the police station—

Lin Yu stood by the office window, looking down at the street below.

The sky over Jiangcheng is usually gray, but today the sun finally showed its face.

He was holding a document in his hand.

Draft of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Residents in the Jiangcheng Unplanned Area.

He had been preparing this draft for a long time, starting to collect information when Chen Tianxiong was still in office.

Now that he has been promoted to deputy director and has more authority, he has perfected even the smallest details.

The core of the draft is simple: abolish the ladder law.

The Ladder Act is a hierarchical system left behind by Chen Tianxiong.

The residents of Jiangcheng were divided into three classes:

Upper class – Citizens with stable employment who enjoy full rights and resource allocation.

The people in the middle class can meet their basic needs for food and clothing, but they are limited in resources such as medical care and education.

The lower class—slum dwellers—have almost no rights and survive on relief and black market transactions.

This bill is like an invisible wall, dividing Jiangcheng into two worlds.

The people in the slums have empty eyes, like walking corpses.

The child was skin and bones, and the old man huddled in a leaky shack, waiting to die.

A few streets away, in the Shangmin District, the lights are bright, the music and dance are lively and peaceful.

Lin Yu never forgot about it after leaving the slums!

With that in mind, Lin Yu took the thick draft and knocked on Shen Bing's office door.

"Enter."

Shen Bing was sitting behind her desk, writing something with her head down. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw Lin Yu. Her eyes softened a little.

"What's up?"

Lin Yu placed the draft on her desk: "Take a look at this."

Shen Bing glanced at the cover title and her expression turned serious. She put down her pen, picked up the draft, and opened it.

The office was quiet, with only the rustling of papers turning.

Shen Bing looked at it very slowly and carefully.

His brows furrowed at times and relaxed at others, his fingertips lightly tracing lines of text.

Lin Yu didn't urge her, but just watched quietly.

Shen Bing obediently wore stockings today. Although they were hidden under her skirt, a few traces could still be seen unintentionally.

Black ribbons tightened around the thighs, and stockings accentuated the exquisite and beautiful shape of the legs.

Whether intentionally or not, Shen Bing seemed to sense Lin Yu's gaze, crossed her legs, and pulled her skirt up even higher.

Her toes playfully clung to her high heels, wiggling gently but refusing to take them off.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Bing closed the draft.

She looked up into Lin Yu's eyes: "When...did you start preparing for this?"

"It's been a long time." Lin Yu walked to the window and looked out: "From when Chen Tianxiong was still in power."

Shen Bing paused, recalling all the things she had observed about Lin Yu over the past few days.

A thought suddenly popped into my mind.

"Lin Yu," Shen Bing said softly, "when you stole Chen Tianxiong's goods... it wasn't for yourself, was it?"

Lin Yu didn't turn around: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because of this draft." Shen Bing stood up and walked to Lin Yu's side:

"All the data, case studies, and analyses of the current situation in slums and among ordinary people involved here..."

Without long-term observation and accumulation, it's simply impossible to write like this.

She paused for a moment: "You've had your eye on Chen Tianxiong for a long time. You stole his goods not for the money, but to weaken him."

In order to obtain evidence, so that one day we can overturn the system he left behind, right?

Even climbing step by step is all for the sake of realizing this grand ambition...

Shen Bing spoke tirelessly, her eyes bright, carrying an emotion that Lin Yu had never seen before.

Lin Yu even saw a hint of...respect in her eyes?

Lin Yu felt that he hadn't thought that much about it. Was he really that great?

Ah yes, yes, that's right.

Lin Yu coughed twice and said, "I just can't stand it."

"What do you dislike?"

"I can't stand seeing people starve to death in front of me." Lin Yu looked out the window: "I can't stand seeing children scavenging for food, and I can't stand seeing elderly people die in leaky shacks."

Lin Yu paused for a moment: "Jiangcheng is already bad enough, there's no need to make it worse."

Shen Bing fell silent, her heart pounding, and her gaze toward Lin Yu grew even more tender.

She had initially thought Lin Yu was a lurking beast—fierce, carnivorous, greedy, and unfathomable.

Yet this very person had been secretly preparing for so long, just to fight for a way to survive for those complete strangers.

"Lin Yu," Shen Bing said softly, her voice a little hoarse, "you..."

Shen Bing suddenly didn't know what to say.

Thank you? I admire you?

Shen Bing shook her head, but... her mind was in turmoil.

Lin Yu picked up the draft bill from the table: "Well, I want to push this bill through. What's your opinion?"

"I support you," Shen Bing said without hesitation. "What do you need me to do?"

"We will hold a plenary meeting this afternoon to vote on the matter, then publish the results and implement them."

"it is good."

After finishing discussing these important matters, Lin Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Director, you're quite different today."
