The Things He Likes? I've Got Them All!

However, Mrs. Hayaki thought that the other party's silence meant he had tacitly agreed with what she had just said.

After realizing this, Mrs. Hayaki bit her lower lip, an extremely unwilling expression appearing on her face.

Even so, her hands still rested on the hem of her nightgown and slowly pulled it upward...

Su Moqian was startled by her movements and quickly stood up, shouting:

"Wait, Mrs. Hayaki, let's talk this over!"

This was only the beginning, yet Mrs. Hayaki was already acting like this. Could she have set him up in revenge?

Hearing this, Mrs. Hayaki pursed her lips, her eyes darkening.

"Are you trying to make me swear allegiance to you?"

Su Moqian: "???"

At that moment, Su Moqian was thoroughly defeated by the peculiar train of thought of the young beauty before him.

He sat back down on the sofa and waved both hands.

"Wait, wait, wait. Let's all calm down. Something must have gone wrong. Mrs. Hayaki, you've misunderstood me."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hayaki said anxiously, "Misunderstood you? I haven't misunderstood you!"

"When you called me last night, didn't you clearly mean that you had taken a liking to me? You even kidnapped my daughter because of it..."

"Wait, what? You said I kidnapped your daughter?" Su Moqian's eyes widened, and the confusion on his face deepened.

Hadn't Hayaki Mako failed to come today because she was resting at home? How had she become someone he had kidnapped?

Besides, after warning Hayaki Mako yesterday, he had indeed let her go.

Unable to make sense of it, Su Moqian asked, "Mrs. Hayaki, did Hayaki Mako return home yesterday?"

Mrs. Hayaki's eyes widened.

"Of course she didn't return home! Ever since she contacted you, my daughter has been missing, and I can't reach her by phone. My husband plans to report her missing once twenty-four hours have passed!"

Su Moqian exclaimed, "How is that possible? I clearly let Mako go home yesterday!"

"And the school's surveillance footage proves it. After letting Hayaki Mako go, I went straight home and had no further contact with your daughter!"

Hearing Su Moqian say this, Mrs. Hayaki grew hesitant.

"But my daughter disappeared after you threatened her. Isn't that a little too much of a coincidence..."

Mrs. Hayaki actually did not want to believe that this young man had kidnapped her daughter. After all, he did not look like someone who would do such a thing.

She had developed an immense fondness for him the moment they met. Otherwise, she would never have offered herself in exchange for her daughter's safety. Besides, she would not exactly have lost out either...

Hearing this, Su Moqian sighed and nodded helplessly.

"Yes, it's too much of a coincidence..."

He had not expected Hayaki Mako to disappear right after he threatened her.

With such a coincidence, he was like someone who had fallen into yellow mud—whether it was filth or not, it certainly looked like it.

At that moment, Su Moqian suddenly remembered the results of the system simulation from yesterday.

The simulation had mentioned that someone would go missing today, and that quite a few more students would disappear over the next several days.

In other words, if he wanted to clear his name, he had to catch the culprit behind this kidnapping case—Asakura Miyuki!

Because of the simulator, he already knew the culprit's identity. All he needed to do was find her.

Of course, to be safe, he could also gather some evidence and ask the police to intervene. That would undoubtedly be more reliable.

"But the longer this drags on, the greater the chance that the kidnapped students will be harmed."

"So, should I prioritize my own safety, or the safety of my classmates?"

Su Moqian pondered for a moment before reaching a decision.

He would investigate on his own for one day. If he found a clue identifying Asakura Miyuki, he could ask the police to intervene.

If he found nothing, he would have no choice but to risk going alone...

Su Moqian recalled the bad ending from his previous simulation, and his heart trembled.

Still, he reassured himself, "It's fine. I'm prepared this time. Asakura Miyuki absolutely won't catch me!"

With that thought, Su Moqian looked up at Mrs. Hayaki and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Mrs. Hayaki. I'll definitely find your daughter. Please give me some time."

"I understand, Su. Thank you so much."

Gratitude showed in Mrs. Hayaki's eyes, but mixed within it was a trace of disappointment.

When the boy had said those things on the phone earlier, she had thought he really wanted to...

How embarrassing!

If she had known, she would never have secretly looked through her daughter's tablet while her daughter was at school.

When she saw a folder called "Study Materials," she had been curious about what her daughter studied on the computer. But when she opened it, she found those kinds of things... the sort that could ruin people!

Hmph, Mako really was something. How could a young girl like her watch that sort of thing?

She would delete it all later!

Thinking of her disappointing daughter, then looking at the outstanding Su Moqian before her, the difference was like night and day.

As she gazed at the handsome young man, Mrs. Hayaki's body gradually went limp, and she could not help saying:

"You really are such a good boy, Su. There shouldn't be any problem with giving a good boy like you a little reward, right?"

Seeing Mrs. Hayaki's increasingly flushed face, Su Moqian's mouth twitched. He immediately realized that he could not stay here any longer.

As the saying went, good children absolutely should not go near strange aunties, or they would be eaten clean!

With that thought, Su Moqian hurriedly said:

"Anyway, Mrs. Hayaki, please rest assured for now. I'll definitely rescue Hayaki Mako."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'll be taking my leave!"

Watching the boy hurry away, Mrs. Hayaki raised a finger to her lips and leaned against the wall, murmuring:

"That must have been so hard on him. If Su really brings my daughter back, how should I thank him?"

Chapter 26: Everything He Likes, I Have!

"Then, next I still need to think about how to rescue Hayaki Mako."

After leaving the Hayaki residence, Su Moqian did not head home. Instead, he went straight to a café and sat down.

After casually ordering a cup of coffee, Su Moqian sighed.

"What a hassle. Even if I do nothing, won't the police come knocking tomorrow and invite me in for questioning?"

He was not afraid of the police coming after him, but knowing who the culprit was and standing by while people died was still unacceptable.

It seemed that Detective Su Moqian would have to make his entrance.

"Hmm, I'll use the simulator to probe the situation first, then decide what to do next."

Just as Su Moqian was about to activate the simulator, the system's notification suddenly rang out:

[Congratulations, host, on completing the achievement quest: "Blondie Doesn't Accept Handouts!" Reward: 100 Wish Power!]

[The host has set his sights on becoming the "Blondie King." How could you accept a free handout from a married woman? Only what you obtain through your own "efforts" is the best!]

Hearing the system's notification, Su Moqian's expression became strange. He hurriedly argued:

"System, don't slander me! I rejected Mrs. Hayaki because I'm an upright gentleman. What does that have to do with becoming the Blondie King?!"

[This system believes that being an upright gentleman and being a blondie are not mutually exclusive!]

Su Moqian: "???"

[Think about it, host. Tragedy is born from relationships between people, and you can prevent tragedy by changing those relationships.]

[When judging a person, don't look at their superficial identity. Look at what they actually do and the effects that follow!]

[Take that ancient Shenzhou warlord, for example. He was guilty in his own era but contributed to future generations! Therefore, host, you can be both a blondie and an upright gentleman. The two are not contradictory!]

"Hmm... That does make sense, but why does it feel like something's wrong?" Su Moqian pondered.

[All right, host, stop dwelling on it. Your current Wish Power has reached 320 points, so you can make a wish!]

"Make a wish? What does that mean?" Su Moqian asked doubtfully.

The system quickly answered Su Moqian's question.

In short, he could use the Wish Power gained from daily simulations or completed quests to make wishes.

Every 160 points of Wish Power could be used for one wish. Through a wish, he could obtain items, skills, and so on from the myriad worlds.

However, the system's wishing pool had one restriction: it could only be related to blondies, and the final interpretation rights belonged to the system.

After learning the details of the wishing function, Su Moqian rubbed his temples in despair.

"Ugh."

He knew this lousy system was shameless. He had originally thought he could use wishes to obtain powerful skills from other worlds.

But there was actually a restriction that they could only be related to blondies? Didn't that mean he would receive either perverted items or perverted skills?

Come on, he was an upright gentleman. How could he possibly use those perverted items?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Still, I'll try making a wish first. Maybe it'll be something normal."

"As the saying goes, ability isn't about how much you possess but how you use it. Surely, no matter what it is, anything in the hands of an upright gentleman like me will shine!"

After thinking it over, Su Moqian decided to make a wish and see.

After all, he had two wishes waiting for him. Not using them really did make him itchy to try.

Besides, the initiative was in his hands. Even if the item he wished for was outrageous, he could simply refuse to use it.

While Su Moqian was thinking, inside the basement of Asakura Miyuki's house,

Hayaki Mako sat helplessly on the floor, bound so tightly that she could not move.

Her pupils were unfocused and her expression dull. No one knew how long she had been left in that basement.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening rang out, and a girl with long, straight black hair in a school uniform entered the basement.

The person who appeared before Hayaki Mako was none other than the model student in everyone's eyes: Asakura Miyuki.

However, the sick smile on her face made it difficult to associate her with her usual model-student persona.

In her arms, meanwhile, was another unconscious girl. From her uniform, it was clear that she was also a student of Senba Academy.

When Hayaki Mako saw that Asakura Miyuki had kidnapped another girl, indescribable terror appeared in her eyes.

"D-Devil!" Hayaki Mako cursed.

Asakura Miyuki merely smiled, not taking her words to heart in the slightest.

"Come on, I never intended to take your life. I only want to turn you into his hot weapon~"

Those words made Hayaki Mako even more terrified.

Her body twisted frantically, and her legs repeatedly kicked against the floor as she desperately tried to struggle free.

Asakura Miyuki paid no attention to Hayaki Mako's struggles because she knew that there was no way the other girl could break free of her ropes.

The only reason she had left her a little room to move was so she could enjoy watching her struggle.

After tying up the unconscious girl in her arms, Asakura Miyuki took a notebook from her clothes.

"We have a short-haired girl with a round face now. So who should be next?"

Asakura Miyuki murmured as she crossed out an option. The notebook in her hand read:

"Su Moqian's preferences: Gyaru (crossed out), short-haired girls with round faces (crossed out), energetic girls..."

During the several days since Asakura Miyuki had fallen for Su Moqian, she had not chosen to cling to him.
