Nanxing was taken aback by these words, then curled her lip and said, "Tch, he actually managed to win her over." But the upward curve of her lips couldn't lie.

Nan Qu couldn't help but find his hypocritical behavior amusing; he was young, yet knew quite a lot.

After Nanxing fell asleep, the staff generously returned their phones.

The moment Nan Qu turned on her phone, she immediately blocked the signal in the room and then began contacting Su Ruoyan.

Su Ruoyan had just finished lunch with Jiao Yuheng. The two were discussing Nan Qu at the table when, unexpectedly, she received a call from Nan Qu as soon as she returned to the hotel.

Su Ruoyan's mind was full of thoughts of his "wife," but when he answered the phone, he chickened out: "Uh, hello?"

Nan Qu had no idea what Su Ruoyan was thinking, so she cut to the chase and stated her purpose: "I'll send you a list and my plan. Take a quick look at it and then cooperate with me."

Upon hearing Nan Qu's words, Su Ruoyan knew what Nan Qu was going to do, and immediately became serious: "Okay."

Nan Qu came here to save the child, but she knew that if the Stuart family didn't run into trouble, given old Stuart's concern for the child, she wouldn't have a chance to take the child away.

So, before she takes the child away, she has to do something for the Stuart family.

After reviewing the information, Su Ruoyan asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Nan Qu didn't hide anything: "Investigate whether there are other masterminds behind this, and then expose their doomsday plan to the public! Doing so would plunge the whole world into crisis."

Su Ruoyan countered, "What do you plan to do? Push the information directly to everyone's phone, or hack into their government and spread this information through social media channels?"

Nan Qu sensed the disapproval in Su Ruoyan's words, but instead of getting angry, she asked in return, "Is there a problem with doing this?"

Su Ruoyan said, "There's no problem. It's just that you overestimated human nature. You thought that if you told everyone about this, they would be resentful, they would rebel, and they would resist! But in fact, things are not as simple as you think."

More than a decade ago, when China dumped nuclear wastewater into the ocean, the reaction from countries other than China was lukewarm. Even after educating everyone about the dangers this would bring to humanity, the result was that the nuclear wastewater continued to be discharged, and fewer and fewer people paid attention to the issue.

Do you know why?

Nan Qu didn't speak, and Su Ruoyan continued, "Because the knife didn't cut directly into their flesh, they didn't feel any pain."

You sent the "doomsday plan" to everyone, and they found out. Believe me, some people will just look forward to this day, while others will treat it as a joke and just go through the motions.

Before the apocalypse, they all needed to eat, work, and even pay off mortgages and car loans. After the apocalypse, everyone dies together; no one will have an easier time than anyone else.

Some people might even think it's just a joke and not take it seriously at all.

Of course, some people might care; they might march in the streets and protest. But when a gun is pointed at their heads, they have no choice but to compromise.

The result of doing so is nothing more than bringing them endless panic.

"This world is actually very cruel to ordinary people. In the eyes of those people, ordinary people are just like NPCs in a game, merely a link in the chain. When you first enter the game, you need to find NPCs to grind experience, but as your level increases, will you still care about an NPC that you can kill with a single basic attack?"

Similarly, for those people, ordinary people have no weapons and no ability to resist. What good are street demonstrations? In the end, it's always the ordinary people who suffer. Those in power will get away scot-free; in fact, the exposure of this event might even lead many others to join the plan.

Hearing Su Ruoyan's words, Nan Qu felt a chill run down her spine. She realized she had been too naive. This world was no longer the ancient era where swords, spears, and halberds could pacify the land.

This era is the era of firearms, an era where reason prevails even under the barrel of a gun.

Just like the United Kingdom today, it appears that the government is in power, but in reality, the power is in the hands of the aristocracy. This is the nature of capitalist society, where capital dominates everything.

"I didn't know you knew about games?"

Su Ruoyan touched her nose: "Boys, they've all played all sorts of games."

"Take me with you if you have the chance."

Su Ruoyan's eyes lit up immediately. He had been worried that she would get angry if he mentioned these Southern tunes: "Okay!"

After saying that, he cautiously asked, "So what do you plan to do next?"

Nan Qu pondered for a moment before saying, "You're right. It's hard to control the public's reaction. Besides, the chances of success are slim. And my goal is to find that child; saving the world is none of my concern. I don't want to be the one to awaken everyone's thoughts."

Therefore, since complete destruction is unlikely, I only need to target the Stuart family.

Su Ruoyan didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

Nan Qu stated directly, "Since ordinary people can't fight against capital, then capital will fight against capital!"

Compared to this place, which lacks national faith and national cohesion, self-interest is the most reliable relationship, yet also the most unreliable.

Su Ruoyan understood: "Okay, the information you gave me about the Stuart family is very comprehensive. I will collect their weaknesses as soon as possible."

Nan Qu also said, "I'm here to gather information about Stuart's rivals and some shady evidence. Your identity is rather sensitive, so it's not appropriate for you to do too much. Just hand over the information to me after you've finished researching, and I'll handle the rest."
