Chapter 47 Transfer
We are experts in revenge.
When Qin Shu got up, Xu Wen was already waiting with the medical team. He carefully examined Qin Shu's body again and confirmed that she was in very good health. Only then did Xu Wen breathe a sigh of relief and then reported the news to the Interstellar Federation Parliament.
God knows, many people over there also didn’t sleep a wink all night.
"Old Xu, Old Wu, and the others all know about your situation. Although I've already reassured them, they're still very worried. When you have some free time later, you should send them another message."
"Um."
"Yun Shangjun, Xiao Man and the others are very concerned about you. They said they wanted to come and see you last night, but I said you were not feeling well and needed to rest, so they said they would come back when you feel better." Xu Wen conveyed the relationship between the heroic spirits. Fortunately, the most difficult to deal with Medusa and Lorelei returned to the heroic spirit space due to an emergency, otherwise Xu Wen would have been in a lot of trouble.
Even though he was speaking lightly now, the reactions of Yun Shangjun and Xiao Man after they learned that Qin Shu was in trouble were so wrathful that it was an understatement. For a moment, Xu Wen really thought that Yun Shangjun and Xiao Man were really going to destroy the Interstellar Federation.
Fortunately, Qin Shu was fine, otherwise he didn't know what would happen next.
"Well, have you found out who poisoned her?" Qin Shu nodded in agreement and then went straight to the point.
Xu Wen's expression suddenly became complicated.
"Nothing?"
Xu Wen shook his head: "No, I found it."
Qin Shu glanced at Xu Wen's expression and instantly understood: "It's someone I know, right?"
Xu Wen sighed, then nodded: "Yes, it's Elia."
Qin Shu was stunned by this; it was an answer she hadn't expected. She remembered that after her own exam, Elia had told her with a worried look on his face that the questions were too difficult and he'd probably failed. At that point, she hadn't noticed anything was wrong with Elia.
"……Why?"
"Elia said she had no idea she had done these things, and we used a lie detector and various other methods to find out that she was telling the truth."
After Xu Wen finished speaking, Qin Shu's brows immediately frowned.
Seeing this, Xu Wen quickly continued, "We retrieved all the information we had on her and discovered she had a sleepwalking-like symptom. During this time, she couldn't remember anything she had done, as if she were a completely different person. We traced the symptoms and discovered that she began experiencing them shortly after returning home from military training. We traced them back to a hospital where she had been treated, but by the time we arrived, the doctor who treated Elia had disappeared."
"disappear?"
"Well, all of his information is fake, from his appearance and name to all his biometric information. He must be either proficient in hacking or know a top hacker. We checked the patients he's come into contact with, and almost every one of them has this 'sleepwalking' symptom, doing many things without realizing it."
"All the clues are gone?" Qin Shu frowned even deeper.
"I finally found a clue. Do you know this person?" Xu Wen said as he called up a holographic image of a person from the terminal.
At that time, there was an extremely handsome man with a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses, light golden hair, gray-green eyes, and he looked gentle and friendly.
But Qin Shu was sure that she didn't know this person at all.
"who is he?"
"My real name is Jeffrey, a native of Radiation Star. He later broke away from the Interstellar Federation and joined the Copra Empire. However, it wasn't long before the Copra Empire discovered that he was conducting some extremely dangerous human experiments. As a result, his civil rights were stripped away and he was expelled from the Empire. He has been missing ever since. We've traced the poison back to Radiation Star and found out it was his hand. As for why he poisoned you..."
Qin Shu was an extremely intelligent person. Almost immediately after Xu Wen finished discussing the previous matters, she realized: "He knows that the matter of the radiation star is related to me."
"Yes, there was an employee at the Radiation Star Base who had the same illness as Elia and had seen the same doctor. He also had symptoms of sleepwalking and leaked all the information. It was our fault. I apologize."
Qin Shu said nothing, but carefully took a look at the gentle figure. Then she turned her head to look at Xu Wen and asked, "It is confirmed that he is the mastermind behind this, right?"
Although Xu Wen didn't know why Qin Shu asked this, he nodded solemnly: "Yes, we have already issued an interstellar bounty, and the interstellar fleet has also begun the capture mission..."
"Okay, you guys do what you have to do, and I'll do what I have to do."
Xu Wen paused for a moment, then instantly understood what Qin Shu meant: "Do you want to recruit a heroic spirit to solve this problem?"
"Yeah." Qin Shu didn't mind killing people, especially those who almost killed her, so she glanced at Xu Wen calmly and said, "If you move quickly enough, you should be able to collect his body in time."
Xu Wen could only smile bitterly upon hearing this.
Qin Shu directly posted a job post, and within half a second, someone took it up.
The person who came was an old man with gray beard, a slightly hunched body, and even some age spots on his face. He looked very old.
Xu Wen didn't understand how such an old man could help Qin Shu get revenge.
Unexpectedly, the old man was very confident. "Don't worry, when it comes to revenge, who can be more professional than us vixens? Master, just wait. I don't even need magic. I can kill him just by playing with his heart. That's how I took revenge on the King of Nine Mountains."
"Okay, Xu Wen, give him all the information you have."
Xu Wen was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and realized that the old man in front of him was actually a fox. He quickly responded, "I have to go get another terminal."
After Xu Wen finished speaking, he simply went downstairs and got a spare terminal from home. Then he helped the old man register and sent him all the information.
This old man is also very smart. He mastered how to use the terminal in just a few minutes.
"Okay, Master, you wait."
"Can you find him?" Qin Shu couldn't help but ask one more question after hearing this.
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
After saying that, the old man disappeared. Qin Shu was not surprised by this. After all, it was not surprising for monsters to have such abilities.
Xu Wen was a little curious, and then he said, "He said the King of Nine Mountains. Is that the King of Nine Mountains from 'Liao Zhai'?"
Xu Wen is indeed a walking encyclopedia with a very rich knowledge reserve. He even knows this.
Qin Shu only knew this after looking at the employee information: "Yes."
Xu Wen now understood why the old man was so confident. After all, the old man had wanted to avenge the King of Nine Mountains who had killed his entire family, but he had made the King of Nine Mountains pay for his crime with blood only by relying on his scheming and calculations, without even using any of his other abilities.
Xu Wen silently lit a candle for Jeffrey in his heart. Why offend Qin Shu when there are so many people to offend? How desperate is this?
"By the way, why didn't I see Zhou Yin?" After Qin Shu finished dealing with this matter, she noticed that there was one person missing from the house today.
Xu Wen was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then he sighed and said, "She was derelict in her duty and has been transferred to the front line. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in the short term."
Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect such an outcome.
"What if I want her back?"
"Of course you can, but she'll probably still feel bad. It was her own request to be transferred to the front line this time. Let her hone her skills outside for a while before transferring her back. It's better for her to suffer a little more." Xu Wen and Zhou Yin had always had a good relationship, but he had no intention of pleading for Zhou Yin. Instead, he hoped that Qin Shu could follow Zhou Yin's idea. After all, for a soldier, a knot in his heart could be fatal.
If Zhou Yin feels that fighting on the most dangerous front can help her resolve this knot in her heart, then let her go.
"...Actually, it's not her fault. Even I didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Elia, and you were not in school at the time." Qin Shu was still a very sensible person.
"She'll be happy to hear you think this way. I'll let her know." Xu Wen nodded. "We won't be sending anyone else to contact you for the time being. Zhou Yin's duties will be taken over by me and the relevant staff. We'll strengthen security this time and won't let you come to any harm."
"Yes, thank you." Qin Shu did not dwell on this issue any further. Instead, she touched her empty stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
"We've asked the robot butler to prepare dinner, and it's been kept hot. Let's eat. By the way, we've already asked for leave from school for you. You don't have to go to school today or tomorrow, so take a good rest first."
…
After Qin Shu finished her meal, she sent messages to Mr. Xu, Mr. Wu and Yue Shanshan who cared about her, and then had a video call with Yun Shangjun and Xiao Man for a while to let them know that she was really fine. After doing all this, she looked at the apology message sent to her by Elia.
Although Elia was also used by someone, Qin Shu really had a close call with hell. It would be a lie for her to say that she didn't mind at all, but she couldn't blame the other party.
After thinking about it, Qin Shu sighed deeply and then replied, "Give me some time to calm down, and then we can talk again, okay?"
Elia replied almost immediately, saying a long list of apologies, and finally said that she would wait for Qin Shu to contact her, even if it was to break up the friendship.
A very sincere message.
Qin Shu took a deep breath and decided not to think about these things for the time being.
Qin Shu had a rare opportunity to lie at home leisurely for a day, doing nothing and thinking about nothing. This feeling was exactly the retirement life she wanted.
Just when Qin Shu felt that she had almost adjusted to her current state, good news finally came from Xu Wen.
