Chapter 114 is the prologue, written by a cat!
Shi Miao approached, bringing with her a warm and sweet fragrance.
She had done the action of holding hands so many times that it was almost muscle memory; before she even consciously thought of it, her slender white fingers would expertly slip between his fingers.
Jiang Yingxu grabbed her hand with his backhand, his slender fingers applying slight pressure to press her fingertips into his palm.
He turned his head, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, and slightly raised his lips.
"Yeah, I think so too."
Jiang Pinghai is bound to get into trouble.
The car was dimly lit, and fleeting glimpses of light flashed past the window, falling in fragments into his eyes.
The face was pale and sharp, bathed in a dim light, giving it an extremely dangerous and eerie feel.
The system rushed back and this is the scene it saw.
Of course he thinks so.
The system's mechanical voice carried a hint of solemnity, [because he was the one who orchestrated and pushed this whole thing forward.]
Shi Miao was taken aback.
Distracted by the message brought back by the system, she didn't notice that when the mechanical voice finished speaking, Jiang Yingxu's jawline tightened, as if he had silently gritted his teeth.
The gaze directed at him was heavy, carrying a tense feeling as if a verdict was about to be handed down.
Do you remember the family that we investigated who kept the CCTV footage of Jiang Tianhao pushing Jiang Yingxu off the building?
The one who got into trouble was the youngest son of that family, the one who blackmailed Jiang Pinghai with the surveillance footage.
The matter is not complicated.
A gambler who threw all his winnings into the gambling table and lost everything, and a drunkard who returned home drunk, bumped into each other.
The gambler, his eyes red with greed, demanded money; the drunkard, emboldened by alcohol, grumbled and cursed, saying he was insatiable.
Du Jian couldn't remember how much money he had extorted from Jiang Pinghai; he just went to ask for money whenever he ran out.
At first, it was just for eating, drinking and having fun, but later they were lured to the gambling table, and the money they lost was like water flowing out of their pockets.
His appetite grew larger and larger, and he became increasingly insatiable.
At this meeting, Du Jian immediately asked for 50,000.
Jiang Pinghai had just paid double the fine to reduce his sentence and had also given him a sum of money recently, so where would he come up with so much more?
Du Jian, however, was obsessed, firmly believing that as long as he played one more game, he could completely turn the tide, and felt that Jiang Pinghai was cutting off his source of income by not giving him money.
Both of them were impatient, and their argument quickly escalated into a physical fight.
Du Jian spoke recklessly, saying he would take the surveillance video to report Jiang Pinghai and send him to jail.
After saying that, he actually turned around, took out his phone, as if he was about to make a call.
Jiang Pinghai's pent-up frustration and resentment over the past few days, along with his frustration at not receiving the money, were all ignited by this one action.
Alcohol clouded his already limited rationality.
He pulled out a knife—
The knife, which he carried with him to prevent Jiang Yingxu from pulling out another shard of glass from somewhere, became the best evidence for his conviction.
The charge of intentionally carrying a knife is far more serious than impulsive assault.
From this perspective, it can actually be described as "evil people will always be punished by other evil people," which is something that makes people applaud.
System: [WeChat chat logs prove that Du Jian had been engaging in extortion, and Jiang Pinghai had argued with him at least five times. The reason for this conflict is clear.]
【but. 】
The system popped up a small, solid ball of light, which swayed in front of Shi Miao's eyes.
I found another account on Du Jian's WeChat that he maintained long-term contact with.
Judging from the dialogue alone, he seems to be a gambler with a similar temperament to Du Jian. However, if you read through the entire conversation at once, you'll find that those seemingly unintentional remarks actually conceal subtle instigation and provocation.
Guess who owns this account?
Shi Miao: [...]
The system is asking this question, so their identity is practically revealed.
As Shi Miao was thinking, she felt a slight tightening force on her fingers.
I glanced over instinctively.
Jiang Yingxu remained calm, slightly lowering his head as he gently stroked Shi Miao's fair fingers with his fingertips, as if handling a startled sparrow, worried that the calluses might hurt her.
Faint burn marks still remain on her slender fingers.
Shi Miao glanced at him only once before looking away and turning her attention back to the system.
When did Jiang Yingxu first learn about Du Jian?
System: [...I am a transmigration assistance system, not a case-solving system.]
How could it know!
Shi Miao slowly uttered an "oh," and then pondered for a while.
Then, earnestly, the system asked: "Did you help him clean up the mess?"
system:【? 】
Shi Miao thought the system hadn't understood, so she patiently explained: "It just means clearing the data so no one else can find it."
system:【……】
The system hesitated for a moment, then confirmed: "You know what I mean, right?"
This Jiang Yingxu is no innocent, pure-hearted girl.
Instead, it looks aloof and serious, but is actually quite cunning – a white-cut black sesame lava dumpling.
Shi Miao: [Of course.]
At the intersection ahead, the traffic light flashed green before turning into a round yellow light.
As soon as Reid stepped on the brakes, the car lurched forward due to inertia, and all three were pulled back into their seats by their seatbelts.
In the sudden shaking.
Shi Miao tightened her grip on Jiang Yingxu's hand, and said matter-of-factly, "You forgot, I'm the wicked little cat."
This cat is just biased towards its own people, regardless of right or wrong.
Stand firmly on the side of the vicious villain.
Not only did they urge the system to help Jiang Yingxu finish up, but they also praised him loudly.
[Jiang Yingxu is so clever. That's the way to do it. Let them fight like dogs; that way, Jiang Yingxu won't get his hands dirty.]
system:【. 】
What's this?
A cat as the preface!!!
The system replied listlessly: "Anyway, you know that's fine... As for the data, I cleaned it up completely when I left, making sure no one can trace it back to Jiang Yingxu."
How should I put it? I have this numb feeling that I knew it would turn out this way.
Otherwise, the system wouldn't have been so easily cleaned up during the system's withdrawal.
Shi Miao affectionately said: 【Commander, you truly are an unparalleled commander, the cat's best friend!】
The system scoffed.
Stinky cat.
That's when she's at her sweetest.
In the driver's seat, Reid swiped his phone's navigation and frowned when he saw the red light countdown that lasted for more than a hundred seconds.
He glanced back through the rearview mirror, trying to reassure him, "We're almost there, don't worry..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The rearview mirror reflected the boy's face, which was turned to the side, his expression relaxed and his eyes curved upwards.
Red: "?"
Reid hesitated, then said, "Yingxu, I know your uncle isn't a good person, but don't be too obviously happy about it."
Their lips are practically pointing to the sky in a smile, aren't they?
