A list of enviable best friends, including Chief Superintendent Bald Qiang.

"Why did that Boss Li dare to so recklessly hand over those terrifying weapons, enough to overthrow a country, to Bald Qiang so casually?"

"Why was he able to so easily remove all the fatal evidence against him?"

"Because he himself may be in a position of power that is 'outside the rules' and that none of us can imagine."

Wang Ye's face also showed an unprecedented solemnity. His eyes, which always carried a hint of laziness, became incredibly profound at this moment because of this mysterious mastermind.

“‘Catch him and you’ll be number one.’”

"This statement itself already shows that this Boss Li is at the same level as that Chief Superintendent of Police."

"The relationship between them is no longer a simple one of 'police' and 'criminal'."

"This is... the final battle between 'kings'."

Wang Ye's eyes were filled with the ultimate awe and contemplation of this clash of power at the pinnacle of the mortal world.

...

The World of "Mr. Amazing China"

"……Oh My God."

"If we catch him, we can immediately become number one?"

"This Mr. Li's background is just too damn scary."

Wang Xiaoer looked at the sky and revealed an expression full of extreme shock.

"I used to think that the chief inspector was already pretty awesome."

"In his thirties, he climbed to the very top of power in that country and became one of the 'top seven'."

"As a result, Tianmu is now telling me that as long as he can catch this, Mr. Li, who has been hiding behind the phone all along."

"Could he take another step up and become that one, the supreme 'number one'?"

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that Mr. Li's background is absolutely, absolutely no less than that of the Chief Superintendent of Police."

Li Xue's face was also filled with the unique solemnity and thorny expression of a law enforcement officer facing a truly "giant" that she might never be able to defeat.

"These two people are very likely the two absolute representatives of 'white' and 'black' at the very top of that world."

"The Chief Superintendent is the embodiment of order, the king of the 'white path'."

"And this Boss Li is the source of the chaos, the emperor of the 'underworld'."

"The struggle between them is beyond the comprehension and involvement of a small municipal bureau like ours."

"That was... a real battle of gods!!!"

Li Xue's face was filled with deep awe for that kind of highest-level power struggle that could overturn the entire national landscape.

[Exposing Bald Qiang's biggest background: Qiang's father.]

The World of Spy Play

"...Qiang's dad?"

"Bald Qiang's...father?"

"Is it that guy we saw in the footage before, the one who looked like just an ordinary lumberjack foreman?"

"Is he the deepest, biggest, hidden background of Bald Qiang?"

Lloyd Fogg looked incredulous.

"What...what's going on?"

"How could an ordinary, retired lumberjack possibly be more powerful than one of only two 'Chief Superintendents' in the country, or that 'Boss Li' who is richer than a country?"

"This makes absolutely no sense in terms of intelligence logic."

"Could it be that……"

"Is 'logger' just a disguise he uses to cover his tracks?"

"His true identity is actually that of the legendary 'first leader' of that country, who has long since retired but whose influence is still enough to overturn everything?"

...

The World of Boonie Bears

"...My...my dad?"

"The sky says... my biggest background is my dad?"

Bald Qiang looked at the sky and revealed an expression that was even more shocked, absurd, and incomprehensible than when he saw that he had been sentenced to death.

"Are you...are you kidding me?"

"My dad... wasn't he just an ordinary, honest, retired lumberjack?"

“He never even left our Tuanjie Village more than a few times in his entire life.”

"His greatest skill is that he calls me every day on time, urging me to find a wife so that he can hold his grandson soon."

"How...how could he possibly be my biggest backer?"

Bald Qiang's face was filled with the words "puzzling" in large, question-mark-filled letters.

"There must be a mistake with this canopy."

"There must be a mistake."

"Daddy, Daddy, hurry up! The salmon leaping over the dragon gate means good weather and abundant harvests next year! Are these babies going to lay their eggs?"

[Young Bald Qiang is walking excitedly ahead.]

[Dad smiled and nodded: "Yes, they're going to lay their eggs."]

[As soon as he finished speaking, he scooped up the little Bald Qiang and placed him steadily on his head.]

He handed him a brand new flashlight: "Qiangzi, look, this is from your father."

Bald Qiang happily accepted the gift: "Wow, a flashlight? That's great, thank you, Dad."

During those wonderful times, Bald Qiang and his father always played together and practiced cutting down trees.

[Qiang's dad still always rides that old bicycle, taking his little boy everywhere to play.]

However, this wonderful time did not last long.

Because of his hard work, Qiang's father was quickly appointed as the "Captain of the White Bear Mountain Logging Team."

But from that day on, Qiang's father also became unusually busy, always leaving early and returning late.

[Bald Qiang wanted to play games with him several times, but Qiang's dad refused each time because he was too busy with work.]

[Several years passed quickly, and during this time, Bald Qiang rarely had any in-depth conversations with his father.]

Feeling lonely, he developed a strong interest in invention, but because of this, his academic performance began to decline.

[After learning about this, Qiang's father was extremely angry.]

He angrily tore up Bald Qiang's report card and smashed his precious flashlight.

From that day forward, a deep rift formed between the father and son.

...

The World of Eromanga Sensei

"...That's too much..."

"How can you do this……"

Yamada Fairy looked at the small flashlight on the sky, which her father had smashed to pieces on the ground, and her expression was filled with sadness and anger.

"That father... he actually... he broke the precious gift he had given to his son, a gift filled with his fatherly love..."

"How could he do something so cruel?"

She felt as if she were witnessing the climax of a tragic and heart-wrenching family drama, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"……I see."

"Was this where the deep rift between them, father and son, began?"

"The father became incredibly busy because of his promotion. He mistakenly transformed his deep 'love' for his son into a heavy 'expectation' that he hoped his son would achieve good grades."

"And the son, because of his long loneliness, mistakenly placed his 'love' for his father on those cold 'inventions' as well."

"They... all used the wrong way to express their emotions."

"Ultimately, this led to such a tragic ending, one that no one can truly understand."

Senju Muramasa, standing to the side, also wore an expression full of emotion and regret.

"That father, he must have loved that son named Bald Qiang very much too."

"He worked so hard, climbing step by step from an ordinary lumberjack to the position of 'team leader,' surely in order to create a better and more prosperous living environment for Bald Qiang."

"But... he's just too busy with work, too busy."

"So, gradually, he no longer had time to spend with his children or to understand their inner world."

"This is perhaps the most helpless and cruel reality that it is impossible to have both 'work' and 'family' at the same time."

Izumi Masamune looked at the screen with a complex expression that was full of empathy, understanding, and immense sadness.

Suddenly, a series of angry, forceful stomping sounds came from Izumi Sagiri's room.

Immediately afterwards, a message popped up on Izumi Masamune's phone screen.

“...that father.”

"He's a bad guy."

"He shouldn't have broken that flashlight, which is so important to Bald Qiang."

"He shouldn't have denied Bald Qiang's 'inventions' that were full of talent."

“That is… absolutely, absolutely unforgivable.”

Izumi Sagiri, in her most direct way, delivered her own unquestionable and final verdict on this regretful family tragedy.

[It's worth mentioning that Qiang's father was the captain of the logging team in White Bear Mountain back then, and both the chief police officer and Boss Li received his favors.]

When Bald Qiang helped the Chief Inspector defeat the boss of the kidnapping family, Bald Qiang's actions weren't actually enough to warrant the Chief Inspector suspending his sentence. However, the Chief Inspector only decided to suspend it after learning that Bald Qiang was Qiang's father's son.

The reason Mr. Li was willing to spend over a billion yuan to take Bald Qiang's place in jail was to repay the kindness of Qiang's father!

The world of Under One Person

“…Fuck.”

"So that's how it is... so that's what happened."

"I've finally figured everything out."

"No wonder."

"No wonder that chief police officer and that boss Li would go to such lengths to protect Bald Qiang."

"After all that, it turns out they weren't protecting Bald Qiang himself at all."

"What they are protecting is the only bloodline of the great benefactor known as 'Qiang Ba' in their hearts."

"This is no longer a simple 'favor'."

“This is ‘gratitude’.”

"It is an immense debt of gratitude that they would repay with their entire lives."

Looking at the final words on the sky that revealed the root of everything, Zhang Chulan revealed an expression of profound realization, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"……I see."

"All our previous guesses were wrong."

"The root of this problem is neither 'power' nor 'money'."

"Rather, it is the inheritance of the most simple and precious 'goodwill' between people in that era."

Wang Ye's face also showed an expression full of emotion and admiration.
