After punishing the three players who provoked this incident, Qi Hanyi had no intention of letting the mastermind behind it go.
Through investigation, Qi Hanyi quickly found out the mastermind behind several substitute players in the game operation party, Mo Shan, from their recent large transfer income.
Mo Shan's motive for doing this is very clear, it is profit.
Moshan accepted "Star Wars" for profit, but under the control of the military, the game currency is strictly prohibited from interacting with real currency. Therefore, whether it is daily operations or the income from hosting competitions, it is far from what Moshan expected.
So Mo Shan set his sights on the casino. He cooperated with the casino and set up a private gambling game, betting on players who he believed would qualify from the top ten. If they won, he would receive a certain amount of rebate.
The odds of those players who are outstanding and favored by everyone are extremely low, and even if they win, they will not make much money. If you really want to make money, you have to bet on those unpopular players.
During the semi-finals, Mo Shan had a large amount of money flow into the casino, all of which was placed on the three accounts of his proxy players, and he made a fortune from it.
Of course, now, because the situation has reversed, the dealer involved has been investigated, and all those who benefited from it have been asked to return the benefits.
But Qi Hanyi's investigation did not stop there. In his opinion, Mo Shan was just being used by someone and was not the original planner of this incident. He was the one who provided him with the information behind the scenes.
Qi Hanyi has also found the planner. Following Yan Bai's clues, he discovered the so-called technology company on Freedom Island and the intricate connection between them and a Freedom Island force called "Undercurrent".
It just so happens that this is the same organization that bribed the Defense Bureau audit specialist Chongzhou and colluded with the Zerg, leading to the theft of the space station data last time.
In this way, the previous doubts can finally be confirmed.
This group of "Undercurrent" members deliberately used Chongzhou's hand to let the Zerg pretend to be humans to sneak into the space station to steal data. Their purpose was just to divert themselves so that they could attack Su Su during the marriage.
As for the purpose, Qi Hanyi couldn't help but think of the old things of his father and mother. Will it be the same as that time? Will he get the registration certificate of the Bai Ze by himself?
Because the mother failed with the father, so they want to try the same trick on themselves?
Qi Hanyi's lips were pursed into a line, and deep hatred welled up in his misty eyes.
It just so happened that he also had a debt to settle with these people.
He calmly reviewed every move of these people.
It started with Yan Bai’s contact with Su Su.
They originally wanted to get the Undercurrent Merman to join them, but since Su Su's interference failed, their subsequent approach should be to incite him to join the mermaid camp.
The reason why Su Su's identity is exposed now is probably because these people found that Su Su was unwilling to obey them and be controlled by them. So they used this method to try to destroy Su Su.
What happens after they destroy him? How do they ensure that their people can successfully blend into the expeditionary force and board the Shirazawa?
Qi Hanyi thought that this starship competition was a great opportunity for them. If their people stood out and became the first, they could naturally enter the Bai Ze.
That being said, one of their players should be among the first ten qualifying spots.
They were determined to take first place, and all those who stood in their way had to be eliminated one by one. From that point of view, although I had clarified things for Su Su in this public opinion storm, I might have unknowingly pushed him to a more dangerous place than before.
The other party will not stop so easily and will take the next step soon.
Qi Hanyi had considered submitting the clues he had already found and directly sending troops to wipe out the Undercurrent Organization.
But on the one hand, the opponent's headquarters is located on Liberty Island, where the environment is complex and there are many factions. It is very costly for the army to station there. Now the Zerg are eyeing their planet in the starry sky, and humans really have no spare energy to fight internally.
Secondly, the evidence he found was insufficient, and much of it was based on his own speculation. Under such circumstances, the Imperial Defense Agency would most likely not agree to send troops.
Third, even if they really launched a massive attack on Liberty Island, they might not be able to eradicate the Undercurrent Organization. This organization is just like its name, like an undercurrent that blends into the sea. Only when you are caught in it can you sense its existence. When it hides in the sea, there is no way to find it.
The enemies who caused the tragedy of his parents seemed to be right in front of him, and they were even planning to hurt the person he cared about most now. Qi Hanyi could only repeatedly persuade himself to restrain himself in his heart.
His enemies are secretive and cunning. After a failed operation, they can carefully prepare for decades and wait for their next plan.
If he wants to win, Qi Hanyi must be more patient than his opponent.
Su Su calculated the time and found that there were still three days until the banquet. He could finally take the mermaid medicine given to him by the high priest.
Four capsules lay quietly in the medicine box. Will it work this time? Su Su was worried.
The bedroom door opened, and Qi Hanyi appeared at the door. His clothes were still neatly arranged, but his sleeves were stained with the coldness of the wind and snow.
The silvery white shark by the pool was staring at a small medicine box in a daze. When it noticed Qi Hanyi coming back, it came back to its senses and waved its fins: "Hi, you're back?"
Su Su was easy to coax. He was not the type to be awkward and silent on purpose. After knowing that Qi Hanyi had helped him clarify things, he had already unilaterally forgiven the other party for deliberately avoiding him these past few days.
Qi Hanyi had a gloomy look on his face, but when Su Su looked over, he hid it well: "Yeah."
Qi Hanyi seemed to be worried and noticed the medicine box in front of Su Su: "Are you ready to take medicine?"
"Yeah, didn't you come back specially to accompany me?" Su Su knew that Qi Hanyi was asking even though he knew the answer. He hadn't been home for several days, and he chose to come home today because he was thinking about taking the mermaid medicine today.
Su Su was right. Qi Hanyi did calculate the time to return home, but not just to accompany Su Su while he took medicine. He had another thing to tell Su Su: "I'm here to inform you that you don't have to go to the banquet in three days."
Su Su opened his mouth halfway to take the medicine, but when he heard Qi Hanyi's words, he froze in place, his movements looking a little silly. He tilted his head in confusion: "Why?"
"I just think it's unnecessary. I've been busy lately, so I just planned to show up and leave. Now that your identity has been revealed, I will tell them that you are preparing for the competition, so there is no need to participate." Qi Hanyi took out the prepared words, his tone seemed nonchalant.
"I'm not busy. You don't have to worry about the training. I'm going." Su Su got angry and slapped the water with his tail. "Isn't my official identity your partner? Why don't you take me with you?"
Qi Hanyi didn't expect Su Su to be angry. He always acted indifferent about these things, so Qi Hanyi thought that as long as he asked him not to go this time, Su Su would stay at home obediently.
"Don't worry." Qi Hanyi reached out to rub Little Shark's head, clumsily trying to comfort him, but he was obviously not good at this: "It's not that I don't want to take him, it's just that the situation is a little special."
Su Su used his nose to push Qi Hanyi's hand away: "How special? Are you trying to say that someone wants to target me recently, and you're afraid that I'm in danger, so you don't let me go?"
Qi Hanyi was slightly stunned. He thought Su Su was just angry because he refused to take him with him, but he didn't expect Su Su to think of this.
However, Su Su surprised him in more ways than that. Little Shark stared at him with round eyes, angrily: "Do you think I can't guess? The things on the Internet are obviously someone targeting me. You helped me clarify it once, and they didn't achieve their goal, so they will naturally try to attack me a second time. It's usually difficult for them to act when I stay with you, so this outing is an opportunity for these people."
Qi Hanyi was surprised at Su Su's growth. Little Shark might not have realized it himself, but in just a few months, he had gone from being completely ignorant of the ways of the world to gradually learning to think like a human being.
"Since you understand, just stay home and relax." Qi Hanyi slowed down his voice, as if to comfort her: "When things are over, I will take a day off to go out with you. You can go anywhere you want."
"Do you think I'm a turtle? When I'm bullied, I can only hide at home and do nothing?" Su Su got even angrier: "I'm a shark! I can go wherever I want! If anyone wants to attack me, I will fight back myself. I don't need your protection!"
Su Su blew out a bunch of bubbles. "Besides, how can a shark like me be worth anyone's effort? This is probably aimed at you, right? Wouldn't it be safe for you to go? You don't even have the mental strength now."
"Don't worry about me. I can protect myself even without using my mental power." Qi Hanyi was very sure about this.
Su Su immediately said, "That's even more troublesome. They can't see me, and they can't beat you, so they just hide and don't attack. How are you going to solve this problem?"
Qi Hanyi never dreamed that he would be stumped by a shark. He really didn't know what to do. The enemy was right in front of him, but he could only wait.
Seeing Qi Hanyi remained silent, Su Su continued, "We can work together. I will be the bait to lure out the actions of those people, and then you will solve the problem."
"No." Qi Hanyi rejected it without hesitation.
He knew that Su Su's proposal was feasible. He had already reached an impasse, and Su Su's proposal was a good breakthrough. Su Su was very smart, he would adapt to circumstances, and he was also good at protecting himself. With him as bait, he had a great chance of winning.
But some emotion overrode his reason and he could not accept the proposal.
Su Su was the bait. What would happen if he fell into the hands of the other party? Would he be bullied, would he be hungry, would he be hurt? He was terrified just thinking about these possibilities.
This fear even surpassed the nightmare in the deep sea and the hatred he had felt for many years. He could take revenge later and take a long-term view, but he didn't want Su Su to be in any danger.
"Opposition is useless. You can't stop me." Su Su swallowed the medicine in one gulp and bared his teeth at Qi Hanyi: "When I grow legs, this fish tank can't stop me, and this house can't stop me either. If you don't let me go, I'll go by myself."
"Su Su!" The wrinkles between Qi Hanyi's eyebrows formed the shape of a "川" character.
Even Jian Cheng, who was most familiar with him, would stay away from such a stern Qi Hanyi. But Su Su was not afraid at all, and even leaned forward: "I am not afraid of death, Qi Hanyi."
Qi Hanyi sneered: "I can see it."
Anyone who saw Su Su confronting him like this would have to praise him for not fearing death.
"But I'm afraid that if this matter is not resolved, you will always avoid me like this." Su Su's voice trailed off.
Hearing these words that seemed to show weakness, the anger that Qi Hanyi had just accumulated suddenly disappeared.
"Maybe even though I'm wearing a human shell, I can't be considered a real human, but I'm not ignorant. Qi Hanyi, I like you. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me or think we have no future. I don't need your response. But you can't always hide from me." The mermaid medicine began to take effect, and Su Su seemed a little sleepy, but he still forced himself to finish what he said, as if he was afraid that if he didn't finish now, Qi Hanyi would find an excuse to stay away next time.
He pressed his round fish head against Qi Hanyi's chest, rubbing his body full of water stains, and expressed his grievances in an almost inaudible voice: "I haven't seen you for many days. I just realized that missing someone is more uncomfortable than being hungry."
