Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Yuris.
In the Iowa family territory.
The blond young man stood quietly in front of the door.
He was tall and straight, with a serious expression. His uniform was immaculately ironed, and his slender fingers were covered in black leather gloves.
The long boots stepping on the ground bring a sense of oppression.
The young man knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Several servants stood beside him with their heads lowered, sweating profusely.
The young man asked coldly, "Where's Gan Yi?"
"The young master, he drove out..."
"If I remember correctly, he hit someone last month and is currently in solitary confinement. How did he get out?"
"This, this... I'm not sure either."
Gan Yi slipped out in front of the servants. When he slipped out, the servants didn't dare to stop him. Now that someone asked them, they didn't dare to say a word.
Yuris and Gan Yi, one is an imperial general and the other is a favored young master in the family. Apart from the head of the family, they have the most say in the family and they cannot afford to offend anyone.
The atmosphere was tense and somewhat terrifying until the butler hurried over. The servants breathed a sigh of relief as if they had seen a savior, and quickly found an excuse to leave.
The housekeeper wiped his sweat and stepped forward: "Sir, what do you want to talk to Young Master Gan Yi about?"
"Let him pay for his stupid actions."
Yuris threw the documents in his hand onto the table.
The butler picked up the document, adjusted his glasses, and took a look at the contents.
It's an email.
A student who calls herself "an innocent student of Lemen University" said that her joint entrance examination scores were swapped by Gan Yi Iowa.
She claimed that she had evidence and wanted to arrange a time to interview Master Yuris.
"Send the email directly to you?" the housekeeper asked in a puzzled tone.
How strange. According to normal thinking, the email should be sent to Gan Yi's father, not Yuris.
Only people within the Iowa family knew that Gan Yi's father had no real power and most of the affairs were handled by Young Master Yuris.
"It seems this 'innocent student' is very familiar with the Iowa family," the butler nodded. "Furthermore, the email is carefully worded and impeccable. It's not something a student could write. There must be someone behind it. Have you checked the content?"
"I checked it, it's true."
But even if you don't check it, there is no need to doubt the authenticity of this email.
Yuris frowned, looking as if he had a headache.
"Who in the Iowa family doesn't know Gan Yi's level? There's no way he could have gotten this score."
With the financial resources of an Iowa family, it would be easy for them to attend Lehman College by donating a building. But they could do something as dangerous and illegal as replacing someone else's grades...
"I don't know what's going on in Gan Yi's brain."
The butler wiped his sweat, he didn't dare to respond.
After hesitating for a moment, the butler said, "I have a way to contact the young master."
Yuris said coldly: "I'll leave this matter to you."
Yuris turned and was about to leave when the butler followed him, asking, "Are you still going to see this 'innocent student'? Do you want me to deal with it?"
"No, I'll go myself," the young admiral sneered, "I want to see what she's up to."
·
When Tao Ying woke up, she received an email from Yuris Iowa, asking her to meet at the agreed place.
This result was within her expectations.
Yuris hates being threatened with evidence the most, so he will definitely come.
She didn't react and got out of bed to wash up.
"Dululu" he spat out the foam in his mouth, put his hands on the sink, and looked at himself in the mirror.
No matter how I look at it, I’m still not used to this face.
Too lacking in aggression.
I feel like when I walk on the street, people will first introduce me to "Learn about swimming and fitness".
At tourist attractions, people will keep pulling you aside and asking, "Classmate, can you take a picture for me?"
Tao Ying recalled her friends' comments about her: "When she smiles, she looks like a mature older sister, but when she doesn't smile, she's quite distant. If I hadn't seen through your true nature at a glance, I wouldn't have dared to approach you and talk to you."
Tao Ying asked her friend at the time: "What is my essence?"
My friend answered without hesitation: "A very smart psychopath."
Being mentally ill is also good, at least it can make people afraid of it.
Now……
Tao Ying stretched out his hand, revealing his biceps.
She had worked hard to build up her muscles during her off-get off work hours at Laiji Institute.
All gone.
“…”
It seemed unlikely that he would be able to beat up the fiancé.
Never mind, let's take it slow. After the physique transformation surgery, I should feel better. I can't live with this F physique forever.
Besides, her body has changed but her brain hasn't, so she can still be a feared... psychopath.
Tao Ying looked down at the email sent by Yuris, said hello to the sleepy Lin Biege, and went out.
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Star Travel Coffee Shop.
Tao Ying sat in the corner of the coffee shop and ordered a glass of iced soufflé.
Soon, the shop assistants could be heard talking quietly.
The blond, blue-eyed young man walked in and walked straight to her seat, sitting opposite her. He nodded, his gesture carrying an aristocratic elegance.
"Uris Iowa."
Yuris has lost some of his youthful naiveté and has become more cautious in his actions.
I heard that in the past ten years, he was promoted from major to general?
That's pretty fast.
Tao Ying did not doubt Yuris's strength.
On the contrary, she was very confident in the abilities of her "fiancé".
After all, the Iowa family has no connections in the military, so there is no such thing as direct promotion based on connections.
Yuris chose to enter the Empire's First Military Academy, then join the Imperial Army and rush to the front lines, not out of any great ideals - but for military merit.
For the glory of his family and to have a place in that family.
It seems that Yuris's wish has come true and he has gained actual control over the Iowa family.
Tao Ying added half a cup of milk to the ice cream and stirred it carelessly.
She could feel Yuris's gaze lingering on her, never leaving, as if he was sizing her up to see if she posed any threat.
This hasn't changed.
Tao Ying put the cup back on the table and smiled.
"I won't give my name. I'm sure you should have researched it before coming here."
"What do you want?" Yuris went straight to the point.
"Let me switch back to my original major."
Yuris was silent for a moment, his hands folded in his lap.
If the student just wants money, that's easy to fix.
But if they wanted to get the points back, it would prove that the Iowa family was behind this, and the subsequent handling would be very troublesome.
"Except this, everything else is fine."
He clicked on the transfer interface and moved the computer in front of Tao Ying.
"It's up to you how much you want."
Tao Ying smiled and pushed the laptop back.
"It's not about the money, Major Uris."
"Admiral."
Yuris corrected her.
"Oh, yes, Admiral," Tao Ying changed her words, her tone a little perfunctory. "As a top pilot trained by the Empire's first military academy, you must be aware of the value of the Lemen Mecha Academy. I cannot accept this solution."
Without saying much, Yuris directly transferred five million star coins to Tao Ying's account.
He said in a low voice, "You're a smart person. You should know that even if you switch back to your original major, your future won't necessarily be very bright."
"If you want to pursue a career in development, Iowa Tech can give you internship opportunities now."
It's really "patient and persuasive".
Tao Ying took a sip of coffee.
Most people would give up here.
Five million star coins, plus an olive branch from Iowa Tech. This is a height that many people will never reach in their lifetime, especially for students of this age, it is even more tempting.
But Tao Ying remained unmoved. She paused, her attitude still firm.
"It's a very tempting proposal, but unfortunately your company's research philosophy and mine don't align."
"My only wish is to return to my original major - mecha systems."
Yuris seemed to be losing his patience. He tensed his body, slowly leaned forward, and moved closer to Tao Ying.
The leather boots rubbed against each other, and the metal buckle at the waist hit the table, making a cold sound.
His eyes were full of the oppressive feeling of a superior.
Although he was not wearing a military uniform, he was silently conveying a message - what he said could not be questioned.
"If you want too much, you may end up with nothing."
The others could only see Yuris moving closer to the table, but couldn't hear what he said.
Tao Ying was sitting on the sofa, but she heard the threat in the words clearly.
She looked at him calmly, never looking away from him, but only raised her eyebrows nonchalantly.
It was a quiet confrontation.
Tao Ying did not move, and the opponent did not easily change the situation.
Yuris thought that this would be enough to scare off a student who had just entered college, but he seemed to have miscalculated.
Tao Ying did not get angry because of being looked down upon. She sat there calmly.
Instead, he seemed to be at a disadvantage as he was standing.
After a while, Tao Ying moved first.
She raised her hands, leaned back on the sofa, tilted her head slightly, and joked, "Colonel, your eyelashes are really long. I give up."
Yuris: "..."
"It's the Admiral."
"Oh, sorry, Admiral," Tao Ying patted his head. "Look at me, my memory is always not very good. Well, as a student of the Fourth Galaxy, I really don't have the ability to resist the Iowa family."
Tao Ying seemed to be showing weakness in her words, but her eyes did not.
She smiled.
"Admiral Yuris just said that, besides changing back to his major, any other request is acceptable."
"Yes." Yuris nodded.
"Keep your word."
"Of course, I won't regret it. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask..."
Before Yuris finished speaking, Tao Ying quickly picked up the coffee in front of her and poured it out with quick hands and eyes.
"Snap—" a muffled sound was heard.
It sounded like a loud slap.
In front of everyone, Tao Ying splashed coffee on the admiral's face.
The air seemed to be frozen, and the warmth of caramel still lingered on Tao Ying's hands.
A little hot.
Tao Ying took the pure white tissue, wiped the liquid off her hands, and kindly handed one to the person opposite her.
"Colonel?"
He didn't answer.
Okay, I didn’t mean it sincerely anyway.
Tao Ying shrugged and put the tissue away. She leaned back gracefully on the sofa and looked at the man.
Oh——the admiral's eyebrows twitched and he looked very angry.
The Admiral gave him a warning look.
Based on Tao Ying's understanding of Yuris, what he meant was: If you continue like this, don't blame me for being rude.
Sadly, it seems this is where it ends.
Tao Ying shrugged. If she continued, she would be taken to the police station.
Coffee on your face should be quite hot.
But this guy deserves it.
The last time Tao Ying saw Yuris was ten minutes before his death.
The Laiji Office was engulfed in flames, and the flames burned through Tao Ying's body. She staggered, climbed up to the first floor, and rushed to the front door, but was blocked by the fire coming towards her at the door.
Tao Ying stepped back, her back pressed against the cold glass.
There seemed to be voices outside. Tao Ying turned her head and looked at Yuris through the glass.
The firelight illuminated Yuris's emerald eyes.
He didn't move or speak, just stared at Tao Ying quietly.
Neither of them was surprised.
Then Yuris turned around and ordered, "Lock the door a little tighter."
“…”
Tao Ying pulled herself out of her memories, her face cold as she looked back at the admiral sitting opposite her.
The fire was much hotter than the coffee at that time.
