Chapter 88

"!"

The answer was exactly what he expected, and a look of obvious excitement flashed in Qiu Yongyan's eyes.

He quickly composed himself, bowed to Qin Su, raised his head, his eyes shining as he met Qin Su's gaze, and solemnly said, "Thank you. If it weren't for your reminder, I might not have made it back this time."

"You're welcome."

Qiu Yongyan should thank the live comments; it was the Viewers who told him about this. He was just acting as a messenger.

Hearing Qin Su's calm tone, Qiu Yongyan thought to himself that Qin Su didn't take this matter to heart. What Qin Su casually said was actually a matter that saved his life. Qin Su might not care who he saved, but he could not forget the fact that Qin Su had saved him.

To be ungrateful is truly heartless.

"Squad Class Monitor Qin Su, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do for you in the future."

Qiu Yongyan knew that Qin Su didn't need it, but he still spoke up, wanting Qin Su to know his feelings.

"Good."

Qin Su didn't refuse; he'd accept the favor offered to him, just in case he ever needed Qiu Yongyan's help in the future.

Not being refused by Qin Su, Qiu Yongyan's tense posture relaxed considerably, and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Class Monitor Qin Su, may I know how you knew He Wenyuan was going to harm me?"

It's normal that He Wenyuan resented him during training because he led the way in causing others to disobey his orders.

In his mind, no matter how He Wenyuan hated him, and was capable of standing by and watching someone die, he shouldn't be capable of stabbing a teammate in the back on the battlefield.

As it turned out, he was too naive and had no idea how terrifying He Wenyuan was.

"Look."

Qin Su glanced at the scrolling comments in the upper left corner, told the truth, but didn't tell the whole story.

This leaves room for Qiu Yongyan to think outside the box.

Qiu Yongyan head, not quite understanding whether Qin Su saw it through He Wenyuan's Optical Brain or by looking at He Wenyuan's face and glimpsing He Wenyuan black heart.

Qin Su didn't give Qiu Yongyan much time to think. After giving Qiu Yongyan's question a vague answer, he immediately asked, "Is there anything else?"

Upon hearing Qiu Yongyan snapped out of his daze and shook his head vigorously, "No, no, I'm sorry for taking up your time, Class Monitor Qin Su."

"It wasn't a delay." As long as he doesn't have to sit there suffering any longer, it's not a delay. Goodbye.

Qiu Yongyan nodded repeatedly. "Goodbye!"

The conversation ended, Qin Su turned and walked away.

Even as he left, Qin Su felt that Qiu Yongyan's address of "Class Monitor Qin Su" sounded a bit strange, but adhering to the principle that everyone has their own language habits, he respected and understood, and did not try to correct him or annoy him.

Yes!

Watching Qin Su's figure disappear from his sight, Qiu Yongyan clenched one hand into a fist and spoke with a cheerful tone.

"What are you saying 'yes' for?" Raymond poked his head out from behind Qiu Yongyan.

From the moment Qiu Yongyan got up and caught up with Qin Su, he couldn't sit still.

Qin Su turned to face them, and they didn't dare to get up and eavesdrop in front of him.

That was too obvious; Qin Su might think they were missing something in their brains.

They could only suppress the urge to stand up and prick up their ears.

They were too far apart, and the two were speaking softly, so they couldn't hear anything.

"Hehe, just now, under the guise of asking Qin Su for confirmation, I secretly referred to him as 'Class Monitor Qin Su' over and over again. Qin Su didn't correct me and even promised to ask me if he ever needed anything in the future. What does that mean? It means that from now on, I'm Qin Su's person!"

In the past, it was always the students in Class 6 who would show off to them, but now the tables have turned and it's his turn to show off to the students in Class 6.

Raymond: "?"

Filled with questions, Raymond issued a strong protest.

"You wish! Our Class Monitor was clearly just being polite and didn't want to bother with you, and you're acting all high and mighty?"

"I don't care, I have a mouth, I can say whatever I want."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, do you know why I escaped death this time? It's because Class Monitor Qin Su cares about me. Before our (Class 7's Spaceship Hyperspace Jump, he told me that He Wenyuan was going to stab me. Isn't that caring about me?"

Before Raymond could react, Qiu Yongyan made a face at Raymond and then deliberately chuckled. Before Raymond could punch him, Qiu Yongyan ran away happily.

This matter is so serious that he should write a 3,000-word essay about it on various social media platforms!

Raymond was furious.

Sophia slapped Raymond on the shoulder. "Be confident, Raymond. You're a grown-up (Class 6) member now. What are you arguing with him for? Apart from our (Class 6), the other classes are just talking big. They're pathetic. Just let them have their way."

Sophia deliberately asserted the sovereignty of their (Class 6, speaking loudly enough that it was difficult for the surrounding classes not to hear her.

Other students. "..."

The fist hardened!

He Muzhi remained seated, having already contacted his family after gathering his thoughts. Since he didn't know if He Wenyuan had used those items to harm anyone, he could only use surveillance footage and witness testimonies to prove to the Investigation Team that the items he had discarded as trash were not weapons he had willingly provided.

The evil deeds He Wenyuan committed were revealed to have been orchestrated by Qin Su, indicating that He Wenyuan's instigation of Ruan Chengye to attack him had offended Qin Su.

He must not leave an unclear stain on his record in this matter.

At this moment, the live stream had switched to the chat interface between He Wenyuan and Ruan Chengye.

The document clearly shows that Ruan Chengye, that murderous maniac, was instigated by He Wenyuan to try to kill Qin Su.

Qin Su once 'sacrificed himself for his cause' and became the White Moonlight for many Federation citizens.

Nowadays, even a resurrected White Moonlight, as long as its White Moonlight only increases and remains untainted, its destructive power is unimaginable.

Upon seeing that He Wenyuan was about to kill their "holy white White Moonlight," the StarNet was filled with censored chat windows, so densely packed that even without manually clearing the screen, one couldn't clearly see the live stream.

On the Dark Web, the price offered for He Wenyuan's life has risen again.

They wanted He Wenyuan dead.

He Wenyuan what the Viewers in the live stream were saying, but he could roughly guess.

It doesn't matter; this is exactly what he needs.

No one knew better than him that if you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. He had already imagined being caught and prepared a strategy to deal with it.

The more people who want to kill him, the muddier the waters become, the more advantageous it is for him.

Dormitory.

Qin Su wasn't very confident in his skills, so he chose to spend his Life Points to have the system generate a corresponding Identity ID and an untraceable Star Coins account under the name 'Jiang Cheng'. He then had the system transfer the Star Coins he had earned into this account to use as purchasing funds.

Qin Su specifically chose two companies that had preserved the most materials and had transferred the material supplier contracts along with the materials.

Those who can run Military Factories are not simple people in themselves; they have close relationships with major local institutions, and as long as the money is there, nothing else is a problem.

Changing information is even easier; simply submit the data, and it will be approved very quickly.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the other party obediently fulfills their promise after receiving the money.

However, since they conducted the transaction online, they never met in person or even had a video call. Although they had spoken via voice, it was hard to guarantee that the other party might not have intended to break the contract.

Double-crossing and other such incidents often happen in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, there is no such person as 'Jiang Cheng' on any planet.

In this situation, they would make two guesses: either Jiang Cheng is just an unknown henchman doing someone else's bidding, or Jiang Cheng has a much higher background and more connections than they do, and they can't find out about him at their level.

Qin Su had worked so hard, risking his life to earn his money, that he dared not presume 'goodwill' towards anyone.

Since he set his sights on these Military Factories, he has used them from time to time to practice his Optical Brain hacking skills.

Each time, he came with the thought, "Since I've come all this way, it would be a wasted trip if I didn't bring anything back."

He now possesses a considerable amount of damaging information about those Military Factories.

If the other party wanted to cheat, his repeated practice over this period of time was enough to make them obediently follow the procedures.

After several hours of final negotiations, two more Military Factories were added to Jiang Cheng's Identity ID.

Seeing that the information had been successfully changed, Qin Su's lips curled up.

We thank our angel investors for their generous donations, which have helped young people start their own businesses.

This kind of wool is too good to pass up; you'll regret it if you don't take advantage of it.

Qin Su's gaze fell on his meager remaining Star Coins, a result of months of hard work wiped out in a single day. He immediately decided that he would try to squeeze more next time.

But... I've used Assistant Jiang's name; how am I going to tell him when I get back?

Forget it, I'll think about it when I get back. The transaction is successful. First, I'll send the incriminating information I obtained to the original owners of the two Military Factories.

If we give them a warning, they'll know better than to spread rumors and will most likely keep quiet about it.

Although this wasn't done in the name of the Qin Family, in everyone's eyes, the Qin Family was so powerful that they already had countless Military Factories, so they didn't need to bother with haggling.

In short, he also had to act with caution.

Qin Su retrieved the pre-packaged data and sent it to their Optical Brain one by one under Jiang Cheng's name.

Less than a second after the message was sent, Qin Su's fake Jiang Cheng's computer clone received several messages in quick succession.

[Mr. Jiang, please don't be angry. Let's talk this out.]

[I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiang, I apologize for any offense I may have caused.]

Please don't take it personally.

The pop-up messages were numerous. Qin Su glanced at them briefly; they were all apologies for some offensive remarks made during their heated debate in the chat during the previous price negotiation.

Not a single word explicitly told him not to send the message, but every sentence conveyed that meaning.

Regardless of who he was talking to, Qin Su would copy and paste the same sentence in his reply:

[Deleted, don't overthink it.]

The transaction was successful. The other party did not retaliate, and he did not lie. He had indeed deleted all the documents when he sent them to them.

After replying, Qin Su hid and closed 'Jiang Cheng's personal terminal, asked his homeroom teacher for a week's leave, changed his clothes, and waited to return to the real world.

The following week is exam week in the Real World, and he can only come back after he finishes his exams.

Fortunately, the Life Points wasted this time was not much, and the income far exceeded the expenditure, enough for him to exchange for time to forcibly stay in the Real World.

A familiar white light flashed, Qin Su's figure disappeared into the dormitory of the Comic World.

After a series of polite pleas for mercy, Abraham finally saw a reply. Reading the reply carefully, he let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then looked down at his men, his voice laced with reproach. "Look! They've already got such a crucial secret of ours! You almost got us all killed, do you know that?!"

Albert, who had been reprimanded, also saw the message. He turned pale, dared not refute it, and bowed his head, apologizing repeatedly.

Abraham slumped into his chair. "Luckily, I didn't fall for your lies about double-crossing. The other party's response didn't seem to indicate any intention to kill us all. Considering our years of friendship, I'll let this matter go. In the future, I'll have to be extra careful with people like this whose background I can't find out anything about."

The person next to him spoke up for his friend, "Don't be angry. Albert didn't mean it. He just felt that the other party's recent behavior of asking for exorbitant prices and then haggling over them was too arrogant, and he just wanted to teach them a lesson."

Who comes at you like a dragon-slaying sword, cutting you in half? In the past, most people treated them with respect, and this was the first time they had experienced the feeling of being slashed so hard that their blood rushed to their head.

During the price negotiations, they repeatedly suspected that the other party was being arrogant and domineering because they were separated by an internet connection and couldn't actually hurt them.

Now it turns out they were overthinking it.

The other party dared to be so rude and disregard them because they were strong enough to have even gotten hold of their weaknesses.

Albert, trying to curry favor with his friend, said obsequiously to the person at the head of the table, "Don't be angry, they said they've already deleted it, so..."

Abraham was furious and yelled, "Shut up!"

This person who was just passing by wasn't a family member he was protecting; he was so stupid he didn't even know how he died.

"He dares to say it, and you actually believe him?" Abraham's voice echoed through the room. "Anyone can tell this is a blatant threat!"

When the boss got angry, the people below dared not utter a sound, lowering their heads and trying to minimize their presence.

Abraham paused for a moment, then said, "Don't go around gossiping about Jiang Cheng anymore."

What do you mean by "don't overthink it"? It's clearly telling them to "overthink it."

The people below responded in unison.

The Real World.

Qin Su returned to his apartment and quickly reviewed the material for his afternoon exam.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Su finished his exam and stepped out of the school gate, where he saw Jiang Cheng's car.

Jiang Cheng saw Qin Su come out, got out of the car, and opened the car door just as Qin Su was about to reach him.

"Thank you." Qin Su got into the car.

"Of course." Jiang Cheng got into the driver's seat and bent down to fasten his seatbelt.

Qin Su watched Jiang Cheng's retreating figure and said, "Assistant Jiang."

Hearing Qin Su suddenly speak up, Jiang Cheng fastened his seatbelt. "Just say the word."

Qin Su: "Sorry, I used your name to pretend you did something."

Jiang Cheng was clearly taken aback for a moment. "Huh?"

His ID card was in his possession. Bank loans required his facial recognition and signature. Besides, no one knew better than him how wealthy the Qin Family was, except for the Qin Family themselves.

How could Qin Su possibly need his help with a loan?

So... what could Qin Su do with his identity information? It can't be... a lie, right?

Haha, how could that be? With Qin Su's status, he's the one targeted by telecom fraud. If anyone's going to be scammed, it'll be someone else scamming Qin Su.

But...

Thinking of the terrifying things the Qin Family has done, which blind park would dare to deceive Qin Su? They'd better be wiped out along with everyone else.

Just as Jiang Cheng was completely baffled, Qin Su's familiar voice rang out. "Liar."

Jiang Cheng: "Huh???"

Qin Su continued, "To be precise, due to certain reasons that cannot be disclosed, I cannot use my own identity information, and can only use your name to acquire two Military Factories in another world."

Jiang Cheng: "???"

He's really something, managing to hallucinate like this over a few dishes.

"That's how it is," Qin Su said after explaining, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Cheng: "... Are you sure this isn't a joke?"

Just by using his name, he can... open Military Factory? To him, Qin Su was either doing something abstract or going insane from taking exams.

"No," Qin Su denied, "I'm very serious."

Jiang Cheng: "... Okay, I don't mind, whatever makes you happy."

I don't understand, but I respect it.

"Thank you." Qin Su expressed his sincere gratitude, and added, "You're worried. I'm only using your name; it will absolutely not cause you any legal trouble, and it won't have any impact on you. As an apology..."

Qin Su looked down, opened his phone, and transferred some money from his allowance to Jiang Cheng: "This is what you deserve."

Glancing at the amount deposited into his phone, Jiang Cheng's smile widened. Without standing on ceremony with Qin Su, he said happily, "Then I shall gladly accept your offer."

Qin Su: "Hmm."

Jiang Cheng, who was driving, chuckled to himself. He was older than Qin Su. Although he hadn't exactly watched Qin Su grow up, he had been taken home by Mr. and Mrs. Qin ever since the Qin Family sponsored him during elementary school.

Of course, he wasn't asked to tutor Qin Su.

Qin Su didn't need any of that; he just let them stay together and do whatever they wanted.

He practically grew up with the two siblings from the Qin Family. Qin Su always acted and spoke with a cold face and a rigid demeanor, seemingly aloof, yet always responsive. He found this strangely endearing.

Seeing Assistant Jiang smile in the rearview mirror, Qin Su's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The fact that he smiled indicates that Assistant Jiang was satisfied with the apology gift.

Comic World.

In the courtroom, after a seventeen-hour trial, just as He Wenyuan was about to deliver his verdict, He Wenyuan suddenly spoke up, "Wait, I still have something to report..."

Bang!

Before He Wenyuan could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out.

He Wenyuan looked down and saw a bloody hole on his lower left side.

'Here I am.'

A barely perceptible smile appeared on He Wenyuan's lips, and as if he had practiced it countless times before, his body reflexively leaned forward.

The person who fires first will have the eliminated gun pointed at them the next second, and will pull the trigger without hesitation.

Bang bang bang...

Immediately afterwards, several more shots rang out.

The bullets kept hitting the defensive shields that rose up, and the sounds of gunfire, screams of terror, and cheers filled the air... the scene was in complete chaos.

This is not the first time someone has committed suicide by shooting themselves.

Once order was restored at the scene, in the comic strip, the spot where He Wenyuan fallen was a large pool of blood.

[???]

[Waaaaah, no! Who the hell killed my baby?!]

[Just like that, he died?]

(Sprinkling flowers) Goodbye and don't see me off!

Fireworks (fireworks) (overseas fireworks)

[Who was the brave warrior who fired that shot? Well done! It's truly gratifying!]

[Um... several people who were shot committed suicide on the spot, that's really strange.]

[Otherwise what? Get locked up for two hundred years and then come out?]

[This is fake, it must be fake]

[Waaah]

On the live chat, besides He Wenyuan's fans' cyber-themed lamentations, there were all sorts of 'fireworks'.

That day, the incident caused a huge sensation, and everyone was speculating about who had killed He Wenyuan.

Qin Su also became one of the suspects.

As time went on, the public's interest in the shooting death of He Wenyuan during his sentencing gradually diminished.

The attention of the new students at the Fourth Military Academy was once again focused on Qin Su.

Qin Su had not appeared for several days in a row. The students in Class 6 kept asking the teacher when Qin Su would come to class. They would ask whichever teacher they could find. The other classes did the same. The teachers in Class 6 were so bothered by the questions that they would leave as soon as class ended. They felt a headache whenever they saw the students.

They genuinely didn't know; why wouldn't one or two of them believe it!

Qin Su had never asked for such a long leave before. Not only did the students not believe it, but even Aiseboer was shocked and frightened when Zhang Minglang said that Qin Su was going to ask for five days off.

They met again, and Aiseboer and Zhang Minglang chatted as they talked. Aiseboer guessed, "Teacher Zhang, do you think it's possible that Qin Su knew in advance that we wanted to limit the exchange amount, and that's why he asked for leave because he was unhappy about it?"

"... What a joke, that little bit of money is nothing to Qin Su. Qin Su... must have some important family matters to attend to."

"It's not that I necessarily want to think that way, it's just that I feel guilty, after all, it's Qin Su..." Aiseboer sighed.

After reminiscing, Aiseboer recalled the sensational shooting death of He Wenyuan at his trial yesterday, which shocked the entire StarNet. He changed the subject. "You're right. Qin Su doesn't care about money, but do you think Qin Su is involved in He Wenyuan's shooting death in court?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Zhang Minglang said with certainty, "Qin Su even took leave during He Wenyuan's trial, which further shows that Qin Su doesn't care whether He Wenyuan or dies. Besides, if Qin Su really wanted He Wenyuan dead, he would have a thousand ways to make him die quietly, why wait until now?"

"Qin Su did not make He Wenyuan disappear without authorization because of the Ruan Chengye incident. Instead, he collected evidence of He Wenyuan's crimes and made it public so that the law could punish him. This proves that Qin Su is a law-abiding citizen. How could he possibly do something like assassination?"

Aiseboer: "..."

He only said one sentence, so was it necessary for this old man to keep arguing with him?

Aiseboer quickly changed the subject again. "Do you think He Wenyuan is really dead?"

Zhang Minglang: "In broad daylight, hit right in the heart, such a huge hole, it would be hard not to die. After cremation, the ashes were scattered in a filthy place according to procedure. He was as dead as could be."

"Hopefully." Aiseboer didn't want to see He Wenyuan again, but hadn't the Xuan Family been strangely well-behaved lately?

After the holiday, Qin Su returned to the Comic World and saw comments from He Wenyuan's fans mourning him and wishing him a terrible death. He immediately searched for him on the StarNet.

The footage shows that He Wenyuan was shot in the left side of the heart, the same spot a normal person would hit.

But...

He took He Wenyuan's medical examination report.

His heart was clearly closer to the right.
