Chapter 38: Crash the system
In the ward, Ji Shian took the time to discuss the news with Qin Yinghuai.
There was no way. She now truly experienced what it meant for information asymmetry to kill people.
"When Brother Zhou and I went to look for Zheng Xiaoxiao, we met Li Hanfeng. Honestly, it was the first time I saw him look so...hmm."
Ji Shian couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment, so he nodded vigorously and signaled with his eyes.
Qin Yinghuai reconciled the information he had found and added, "Is she disheveled?"
He reached out and tapped a few times on the tablet, then handed it to Ji Shian.
Ji Shian caught it with both hands: "More like unsatisfied desire."
Qin Yinghuai paused, then stopped him: "...Shi An."
Ji Shian frowned: "I am very objective."
Although she couldn't see Li Hanfeng's expression at the time, she could hear it. His voice was hoarse and mixed with suppressed irritation. According to Zhou Xingzhi's description, his neck and collarbone were covered with scratches.
Ji Shian looked at himself with a look of disbelief. He had never eaten pork, but had he seen a pig run?
Qin Yinghuai racked his brains and finally uttered a "hmm".
Ji Shian couldn't fix it anymore, so she stumbled and said, "Brother Huai, are you serious?"
Qin Yinghuai said softly: "Look at the tablet, you should be right."
The verbal battle gained the upper hand again. Ji Shian allowed himself two seconds to celebrate childishly, then restrained his expression and looked carefully at the content on the tablet.
Wow. I underestimated Qin Yinghuai.
"Where did you get all these intimate photos of Li Hanfeng and Zheng Xiaoxiao? Some even have the background of a hotel room!"
Ji Shian's scalp tingled: "Qin Yinghuai, do you want to go to jail?"
"An unknown reporter accidentally walked into the wrong room, accidentally pressed the shutter button, and when asked to delete the photos, accidentally left one behind."
As Qin Yinghuai explained, he reached out and held her head to prevent her from jumping up and down in excitement. His concussion might not be able to withstand secondary trauma at the moment.
Ji Shian raised his hand and slapped his claws away.
Ji Dongran pulled out the alopecia areata. What if her son inherited this skill and got alopecia areata?
Ji Shian: "Whose family is this unknown hero from?"
That didn't sound like the kind of tactics Qin Yinghuai would use. He was usually more righteous and would never allow anything to be used legally.
Qin Yinghuai smiled and said, "Guess?"
Ji Shian took a look and began to list the people who could barely be considered his comrades: "Lu Li?"
Qin Yinghuai said calmly, "That's not right."
Ji Shian: "...the CEO of Huading?"
He changed his mind because Feisheng Group offered a high price before, and then he wanted to apologize to Qin Yinghuai because he suffered losses, but was rejected. This time he was well-informed and came to please him?
Qin Yinghuai smiled and said, "Mr. Chen has always been oblivious to what's happening outside the window. How did he come to such a conclusion?"
Ji Shian nodded. "That's right. Mr. Chen from Huading relies entirely on his mother's family's capital to support his business. He's known for turning a deaf ear to all kinds of news and acting recklessly. He certainly doesn't seem like someone who can flatter others to the point of being popular."
Qin Yinghuai felt somewhat helpless and whispered, "You can't tell these things to others." Otherwise, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of you.
Ji Shian: "Oh, can't I tell you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her ears felt slightly hot, and she felt a little regretful. This was not what she had imagined. The flirting was too direct. She shouldn't be able to move freely and ambiguously, advancing and retreating at a moderate pace...
The system couldn't listen anymore and threw the comic book away.
A mother single, the love is about to come, and you want to do some high-end operations with mature men and women, don’t dream about it in broad daylight.
Its teeth ached, but it didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was in a leaky state, and Qin Yinghuai could hear it even if it ground its teeth.
The sudden straight ball seemed to hit his heart directly, his heart was beating fast and the heat slowly climbed up his face. Qin Yinghuai suppressed his thoughts and changed his stance directly: "Go ahead." It's okay to say more, he likes to listen.
[So pure——]
They both paused.
[Oops, sorry, I accidentally said that.]
[But I'm not talking about you two, I'm talking about the new comic released by the Book Administration Bureau. Oh my god, these two protagonists are so innocent, they blush just holding hands, how can they even breathe if they kiss or go to bed?]
Ji Shian interrupted it with a light lip: "Go and have fun." This is not the comment section, go somewhere else to express your thoughts.
The system clicked its tongue twice, picked up the comic it had thrown out, and shook its head, mumbling to itself: [Pure love is invincible, young couples are invincible, blushing is invincible, oh my god, it’s invincible…]
What were they talking about? Ji Shian scratched his palm with his fingers. Oh yes, they were talking about Li Hanfeng.
They both spoke at the same time.
Ji Shian: "Does Li Hanfeng know that the system exists?"
Qin Yinghuai: "The photo was taken by someone hired by Zheng Xiaoxiao in order to threaten Li Hanfeng to marry her."
Ji Shian was stunned: "Wait, who took the photo...Zheng Xiaoxiao? No, where's the logic in threatening him?"
No one really thinks they can get ahead by taking an intimate photo, and the person in the photo hasn't even taken off his clothes.
Ji Shian's eyes were full of question marks.
"How did that reporter get in without leaving the door open? The hotel Li Hanfeng is staying in shouldn't be too low-end, and there shouldn't be such a big loophole in its management."
Qin Yinghuai shared his speculation with her: "Whether Li Hanfeng knew about the existence of the system is unknown, but we can't completely rule out the possibility. Or it is very likely that he knew about it, but he was controlled and unable to resist."
"His style of doing things has changed significantly during this period. He often behaves like a gangster when negotiating with partners, directly threatening them with money or using various leverage to intimidate them."
"It hasn't shown up in the stock price yet, but I suspect it won't be long before someone takes action against Feisheng."
Ji Shian discovered a blind spot: "How did you get the things that Zheng Xiaoxiao hired someone to take pictures of?"
Qin Yinghuai raised his eyebrows: "I helped Li Hanfeng suppress the news."
Ji Shian looked at him steadily: "What did you find out?"
Qin Yinghuai's phone chimed, and a WeChat pop-up window popped up on his tablet. Ji Shian subconsciously clicked on it, gnashing his teeth after reading the content. "This is fucked!"
The information came from Su Qi, who was not very clever, and Su Qi easily figured out the identity of the driver behind the accident. According to the driver's wife, someone claiming to be Mr. Li offered her family a large sum of money to help them deal with the troublemakers, but they needed the driver to hit someone, preferably without causing serious injuries.
Ji Shian quickly figured it out: "After being controlled by the system, Li Hanfeng might still have some resistance. In order to control him more tightly, Zheng Xiaoxiao controlled Li Hanfeng and left various handles for herself, making it easier for Zheng Xiaoxiao to control Li Hanfeng's every move."
The words were a bit confusing, but Ji Shian felt that they were close to the truth. She couldn't help but curse: "Shouldn't we thank her for sparing your life?" What a half-human, half-ghost thing, with no bottom line, worse than an animal.
The words were all the same over and over again. Qin Yinghuai couldn't help laughing when he heard them. Seeing that she was about to make him red-hot, he quickly comforted her: "That kind of thing won't happen."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Shian retorted: "Do you know what it means to set a flag? Take it back."
Qin Yinghuai bit his tongue to hold back the words before he said them, and obediently changed his words: "She doesn't dare let anything happen to me."
Even if she controlled the entire Li family, she and the system wouldn't dare target Qin Yinghuai directly. The system was currently in a low-key development phase, and spreading itself too thin could easily backfire. Not to mention the capital Chengyue had accumulated over the years was far beyond the reach of the Li family.
"But you are already in the hospital. What does this mean? It means their plan has succeeded!" Ji Shian sneered. There is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
"I remember Li Hanfeng as the handsome, strong, and tragic hero. Isn't his most impressive quality his unwavering determination? He endured hardships but persevered, swearing to become the best. That was his life creed. How could he not even compare to Lu Li?"
Qin Yinghuai followed up her words and said, "So Lu's development momentum has been good in the past two years."
Ji Shian jumped out of bed and paced back and forth anxiously.
"No, we have to quickly get rid of that harmful thing and send Zheng Xiaoxiao to prison. Oh, and remember to explain that she now has an antisocial alter ego."
She quickly called out the system: "Don't look at it anymore. Get ready quickly. How much energy do we need to destroy that system?"
Seeing the man's words becoming increasingly harsh and irritable, Qin Yinghuai's heart skipped a beat. He racked his brains to try to put out the fire: "Don't worry..."
"Still hesitating! You're already in the hospital. Next time, will you just lie down directly?" Ji Shian became more and more worried as he spoke, and glared at him fiercely.
At this moment, Ji Tezhu completely decided to rebel against Tiangang. Qin Yinghuai silently shut up under her angry gaze and typed and amplified on his mobile phone: Unconditional support.
Ji Shian nodded with satisfaction.
The system heard the call and quickly looked in. After figuring out what was going on, it calmly said, "Oh!" "I have two solutions. Pick one?"
Ji Shian's eyebrows flashed with doubt: "Has the program become more user-friendly after the update?"
[Hehe.] The system smiled mysteriously: [My new discovery has been approved by my superiors after being reported. Now I have another way to accumulate energy.]
The more it kept the secret, the more anxious Ji Shian became.
Qin Yinghuai silently reached out and pulled the person over to sit down. He said to the system: "Just say it directly. Solving the problem sooner will also benefit you."
Ji Shian leaned against the bed and faced Qin Yinghuai nervously, breathing slightly tensely as he waited for the system to speak.
[The first path, continue to run away from him, about three times, and you'll have enough energy. It will take at least a month, and at most half a year.]
[After all, the original heroine was supposed to live in a remote town, living a life of poverty and hardship, and the hero was supposed to have bloodshot eyes: "I'll dig three feet deep to bring that woman back!"]
[But obviously, you two can't act this out.]
Qin Yinghuai listened to the lines, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face. "What about the second way?"
[Hey, the second way is easy, you two can just talk.]
