For some unknown reason, Yu Chen and Yuan Yunqing hid from Shi Yiyu and the others and left first, leaving Daniel at the military headquarters. Daniel stood silently beside Shi Nian and didn't say anything at first.
Shi Nian knew that he was a quiet person and didn't talk much, so she didn't find his attitude strange.
He suddenly remembered the chip and took it out from his pocket and handed it to Shi Yiyu, "Dad, this is the chip on Shi Ting."
Shi Yiyu looked at the chip for a while, then at the inverted pyramid pattern on the edge of the chip. His brows slowly furrowed as he put the chip away. "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Ke Laisi curiously clung to Shi Yiyu's shoulder and looked at her, like a little cat that was always curious about everything. "Niannian, can this chip control me?"
Shi Nian shook his head. "It probably won't work. The energy it contains isn't as strong as yours. It should only be able to control androids below S level. In fact, it can't fully control Shi Ting either. It just slightly tampered with the program he set."
But Lex instantly lost interest, the excitement on his face vanishing. "Oh, that's it. That's boring."
"The recruit training period is over, and you don't have to go to the military anymore." Daniel said unexpectedly, "If you're bored... I can play with you."
Shi Nian looked at Daniel and Claire in surprise. This time, Daniel did not argue with Claire, but took the initiative to make peace. Are these two enemies finally going to live in peace?
Shi Nian was extremely excited. He pulled over Kelais, who had been hiding behind Shi Yiyu, and said, "Haven't you been talking about Daniel the whole time? Now that he's finally back, are you happy?"
But Les looked at Daniel with a sour face and turned his face away, "I'm not happy. I already have a new playmate, I don't need him."
"A new playmate?" Shi Nian asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
But Lais turned around and walked to Yichu's side, waiting eagerly.
Shi Yichu took out a white cube and tapped it lightly with his finger.
The white cube floated up and instantly turned into a little boy with black hair and black eyes. Shi Ting opened his ignorant eyes and looked at Shi Nian for a few seconds.
Shi Nian's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously hid behind Yu Luhan.
Yu Luhan half embraced him soothingly, "It's okay, he's back to normal."
Shi Ting's performance in the virtual space left an indelible psychological shadow on Shi Nian, and she still felt scared when facing him now.
Shi Ting also looked at Shi Nian timidly, one hand tugging at the corner of Shi Yichu's clothes in dependence. He glanced at Shi Nian and smiled shyly, pursing his lips. "You are so cute, I like you."
Shi Nian: "...Goodbye, right?"
Does he have PTSD about love now?
Fortunately, Shi Ting's attention was quickly attracted by Shi Yiyu. He stared at Shi Yiyu intently, his eyes sparkling and full of amazement.
The gaze was so intense that it was hard for Shi Yiyu to ignore it. Yu Luhan's face darkened, and he put his long legs between them, looking at Shi Ting with cold eyes.
Shi Ting gave Shi Yiyu a shy smile, "You are pretty? I like you too."
Facing Yu Luhan, he showed a completely different expression, "You are so mean and evil, I want... um?"
Shi Yichu covered his mouth anxiously, "Shut up, be good if you don't want to be torn apart."
Shi Ting nodded weakly, indicating that he would be a good boy.
When the group was about to leave West College, Shi Nian's intelligent brain suddenly rang. It was Brett sending him a communication.
Shi Nian frowned when she saw the name, but she answered the call anyway and said straight to the point, "What's going on?"
Brett seemed hurt by his indifference, and her voice was low and helpless. "I'm sorry to bother you, but... I saw a book on the floor in the classroom with your name on it. I wondered if you accidentally lost it..."
Shi Nian was stunned. "What's the name of the book?"
“It’s the foundation of mechanical maintenance.”
Shi Nian immediately became nervous and hurriedly rummaged through his bag. Sure enough, the blue-covered book that was supposed to be there was gone. He said anxiously, "Well, this book is indeed mine. Are you in the classroom now? I'll come find you."
This book was given to him by Mr. Zhong and was of great significance to Shi Nian. He felt uncomfortable with his personal belongings being in someone else's hands, so he just wanted to get it back as soon as possible.
Brett: "Then I'll wait for you in the classroom."
Shi Nian simply explained the matter to the parents and asked them not to wait for him but to go to the car first. He would find them outside the school gate after he got the books.
After agreeing on a location, Shi Nian hurriedly ran towards the teaching building. Little Nuobi ran to catch up with him, "Brot, wait for me. I'll go with you."
Shi Nian slowed down her pace and waited for Nuobi to catch up before they headed to the classroom together.
On the way, Nobby kept crying, "Brot, I don't really want to go to your dad's house for tutoring, do I? I don't want to..."
Shi Nian rubbed her head comfortingly. "So you must do well in the final exam this time. That way, you can come to me and Aizel, and my dad won't have to teach you anymore."
Nobby nodded listlessly, determined, "I must study hard! I must pass the Chinese language test this time!"
As she spoke, she opened the smart brain and reviewed this semester's courses and memorized the texts.
After the league ended, most people chose to go home. The huge campus seemed particularly empty, and the teaching building was also silent.
Brett was the only one in the classroom. Nobby did not enter the classroom, but chose to wait for him in the corridor and review at the same time. When Shi Nian arrived, Brett was slowly cleaning the desk.
Hearing footsteps, Brett looked up, a smile flashing across his friendly face. He nodded to Shi Nian and then took out a book with a blue cover from the drawer. "This is it. Come and see if it's your book."
Shi Nian took the book and opened the cover. The handwriting on it was indeed his own. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "It's my book. Thank you."
Brett smiled gently, "It's nothing, I just happened to find it."
Shi Nian thanked him repeatedly, put the book into her bag, and said to Brett, "Thank you very much for this. My dad and the others are waiting for me outside. I'll be leaving now. Bye."
Brett nodded and smiled, "Okay, bye."
Shi Nian looked at Brett's smiling face and felt a little guilty. He seemed to have always been prejudiced against Brett, but he didn't think that if it weren't for him this time, he might not be able to get his book back.
It seems that Brett is not as scheming as he thought.
Shi Nian couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, but when he turned around, a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and his strong premonition urged him to get out of the way quickly.
It was too late. Shi Nian felt as if a mosquito bit his neck, but the next second all the strength in his body was drained away. A large area of darkness came over him. Before he fell into coma, Shi Nian saw Brett walking towards him with a smile.
Brett picked up the collapsed Shi Nian, the corners of his lips curled up, and clicked on the intelligent brain, "Already caught? Come here."
A shout came from the door, "What are you doing?!"
The smile on Brett's face froze, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned around. Seeing Nobby standing at the door with an angry face, his heart skipped a beat and he stammered, "This... I... this..."
"Put me down, Brot!"
Nobi walked over angrily, but the next second a tall Alpha appeared behind her and chopped at her neck. Nobi's eyes became blurred and her body went limp.
Brett breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the newcomer with lingering fear. "Luckily you came early, otherwise this girl would have ruined everything."
Alpha casually picked up Nobby and looked at Brett with his remaining eye. "Give him to me, you can go now."
Brett took a step back. "You promised me that you would help me seize the throne after you captured Shi Nian."
07 sneered, "Go find whoever agreed. I'm just doing the job for the money. I don't care about anything else."
"Besides, now that you've captured Shi Nian, is there any turning back? Hand him over to me now, or that psychopath will pull the trigger again."
Brett's eyes were complicated. He lowered his head to glance at Shi Nian's unconscious face. A conflict flashed in his eyes, but the fleeting hesitation was overshadowed by ambition, and he handed Shi Nian to 07.
07 had broad shoulders and a long body, so he carried two Omegas effortlessly. He threw down a space button, and a twisted space vortex appeared in front of him.
"That madman's jammer only lasts half an hour. Run before the surveillance returns to normal. If the military and Apsu find out you've kidnapped their precious child, not only will he inherit the throne, but his ashes will be scattered."
07 said lightly, glancing at Brett, hiding the contempt in his eyes, "Let's go, take care of yourself."
Brett's eyes darkened. "Got it?"
But before 07 stepped into the space tunnel, another cry of surprise came from the doorway. The terrified Omega boy covered his mouth and looked at them, "Where are you taking Shi Nian and Nobi?"
Brett frowned, "Tao Jixia?"
Yes, Tao Jixia is the class monitor and also has the classroom key. He is usually the last one to leave, so it is normal for him to show up at this time.
But he saw it all, and there was a murderous look in Brett's eyes.
Tao Jixia looked at Shi Nian and Nuobi, who had their eyes tightly closed. Her face was pale, and she suppressed her fear as her voice trembled. "They didn't volunteer, did they? Let them go quickly, or I'll tell the teacher!"
Brett pulled out a gun and pointed it at Tao Jixia. A second before he pulled the trigger, 07 intervened, "Don't waste it! Knock him out and bring him back to me."
Tao Jixia turned around and tried to run, but Brett took a long stride and chased after him. He stabbed him hard and brought the unconscious Tao Jixia to 07.
07 couldn't bring three people with him, so after some decision-making, he threw Nobby into the tunnel, and then took Shi Nian and Tao Jixia with him and walked in.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the parents who were waiting outside the school did not see their children come back for a long time. Shi Yiyu couldn't help feeling empty in his heart. After Shi Nian left for a full hour and a half, he contacted Shi Nian's intelligent brain.
Once... twice...
Shi Yiyu contacted Shi Nian five times, but it always showed that no one answered the call. The others also looked at him, waiting anxiously.
Shi Yiyu shook his head and looked at Yu Luhan, his eyes full of anxiety, "No, I still can't contact Little Rose."
Yu Luhan opened the car door and said, "I'll go find them."
"Don't worry, I, Nuobi, am with Nian Nian. I'll try to contact her."
Shi Yichu immediately contacted Nobi, but got the same result.
The two parents realized that something might have happened and rushed to the classroom, but the door was locked. They looked inside through the glass and found that there was no one in the classroom.
Shi Yiyu tried his best to calm down his panic and said, "Go to the monitoring room and see where they went."
The teacher in the monitoring room was very surprised to see Shi Yiyu and the others arrive. Seeing their anxious expressions, he couldn't help but ask, "Professor Shi, what happened?"
Shi Yiyu spoke faster, "Please help me retrieve the surveillance footage from 10 a.m. to now, focusing on the No. 1 Teaching Building of the High School Middle School. Please also show me the indoor surveillance footage of Class 1, Grade 3."
The teacher felt their anxiety and without saying anything useless, he directly played the video for them.
It can be seen from the video that Shi Nian and Nuobi went straight to the classroom, and after getting the books with Brett, they turned around and left the classroom. Then Tao Jixia came to the classroom, locked the door and left the classroom.
The surveillance video at the stairwell also showed that Shi Nian and Nuobi went downstairs, but the surveillance video on the first floor of the teaching building did not show it, showing messy snowflakes.
The monitoring teacher demonstrated how to restore the video clarity, but it was of no use. "Strange, this has never happened before..."
Shi Yiyu's eyes were gloomy. "No need to check. The surveillance camera has been tampered with."
Shi Yichu speculated, "So, the two children had an accident after leaving the teaching building?"
"Not necessarily." Shi Yiyu cast a deep gaze on the small screens. "If they can tamper with the surveillance, they can definitely create a fake video to confuse us. These videos are not credible at all."
"The other two students, Brett and Tao Jixia, right? Call them over and ask them."
Xu Lin soon learned about the disappearance of Shi Nian and Nuobi. He immediately asked Shi Nian's class teacher to contact Brett and Tao Jixia.
Brett already knew that Shi Yiyu and the others would know this, but the moment he pushed open the door of the principal's office and faced these four high-ranking and powerful Alphas and Omegas, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
Brett smiled normally, "Tower Master, Marshal, President, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Shi Yiyu asked bluntly, "Did our Shi Nian go to the classroom to look for you? What happened afterwards?"
Brett pretended to think carefully, "I returned the book to Shi Nian and then left. Hmm... Tao Jixia and Shi Nian were also in the classroom at the time. As for the rest, I don't know."
Yu Luhan and Morpheus stared at Brett's expression without saying a word.
Shi Yichu frowned. "Didn't they tell you where to go? But I saw our Nobi talking to you on the surveillance video. What did she say to you?"
Brett hesitated for two seconds. He had no idea what the surveillance footage was about. His heartbeat quickened and his hands clenched slightly. "She, she just thanked me for helping her brother find the book. She didn't say anything else..."
Shi Yichu's expression remained normal, "Is that so..."
He and Shi Yiyu looked at each other, their eyes unclear.
The surveillance video doesn't show that Nobby has ever spoken to Brett. Either the surveillance video is wrong, or Brett is lying.
The office was silent. After a while, the head teacher pushed the door open and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I can't contact Tao Jixia."
Parents: “…”
Things seemed to have reached a stalemate here. Shi Yiyu stood up and gave Brett an ambiguous look. "Since we can't get in touch, forget it. Let's go."
Yu Luhan, Shi Yichu and Morpheus followed him and left the office.
Brett clenched his hands, his nails pricking his palms. He looked at Xulin, who had remained silent, and said, "Principal, since you have nothing to do with me, I'll leave first."
Xulin remained silent, and Brett took his silence as consent and turned to leave. But the moment his hand touched the door handle, Xulin's flat voice sounded behind him.
"Do you know that the person you trust is a hopeless idiot?"
Brett paused, his mind blank. After a long pause, he replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Xu Lin held his chin with his hand, looking at Brett, who was obviously extremely nervous but pretending to be calm. The corners of his lips curled up, "Let me guess, what did he promise you... the throne?"
He leaned back and spoke slowly, "That's right. The Emperor and Arwen have no children, and the royal family has no heir. Everyone wants to get involved..."
Brett was horrified. Facing Xulin's seemingly penetrating eyes, his heart felt as if being squeezed by a large hand. He forced a smile, "Principal, you're worrying too much. I'm just an illegitimate child, as you know. How could I possibly covet that position?"
Xulin chuckled softly, "If you really think so, then there won't be so many problems."
"By the way, the son of the royal brother, Ezel Zeins, was an Alpha when he was young. Tell me, if he knew that you sold Shi Nian to someone else in order to get that position, what would he do to you?"
Brett's face turned pale instantly.
In the palace.
The emperor and Ezer sat together drinking. He drank cup after cup, and a drunken blush soon appeared on his face.
After a few drinks, Ezel advised, "Uncle, don't drink too much, or your aunt will scold you."
The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Scolding me is fine, but Alwen won't care about me. At most, she will ignore me. But she never pays attention to me on weekdays..."
Regarding the relationship between the Emperor and Arwen, Azel didn't want to say much and simply kept his mouth shut.
The emperor drank a few more cups in a row, put down his glass, and said, "Azel, Lin Qin is dead."
It took Ezelle a few seconds to remember who Lin Qin was. She was the wife of the Burgess family, a former classmate of Shi Nian, and the mother of Cecilda Burgess and Fu Xingyuan.
Azel's expression was indifferent. "This matter seems to have nothing to do with me."
"Don't you want to know why she died?"
"In no mood."
"I just have to tell you." The emperor was angry and deliberately contradicted him. "The outside world says that it was that illegitimate child named Fu Xingyuan who killed the Duke and Duchess. In fact, I know everything. It was Lin Qin who killed her husband."
"How could that sickly Lin Qin be a match for that bastard Burgess? That bastard came and helped Lin Qin kill Burgess. Now it's fun. Lin Qin was seriously injured and died, and he became the murderer."
Azel was silent for a few seconds, then understood the emperor's intention. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Uncle, you know I'm not interested in the throne."
The emperor glanced at him with his deep purple eyes. "Really? You don't care if Shi Nian disappears because of this?"
Ezel's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly. "What do you mean?"
The emperor continued to drink leisurely, "Literally."
Aizel was extremely anxious and wanted to go find Shi Nian right now, but he suppressed the urge and calmly asked the emperor, "Do you know where Little Rose is now?"
"I don't know," the emperor told him. "But I know who took him away. I am the emperor, much better than a useless student like you."
Ezer's hands hanging at his side suddenly clenched, his eyelashes trembled, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
The emperor slowly stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "Only when you stand at the highest position can all other threats seem insignificant."
Ezel: "...I understand?"
…
In the eighth galaxy, beneath the most chaotic and noisy area lies a research institute. In the most sturdy small room, lie three unconscious Omegas.
Shi Nian opened his eyes drowsily, slowly sat up, rubbed his aching neck, and looked around blankly.
The white wall was covered with high-voltage iron fences. His confused mind regained some clarity and he hammered the wall angrily, "Brett, that bastard!"
Shi Nian worriedly woke Nuobi and Tao Jixia up.
There was a big bump on Nobi's forehead, and she grimaced in pain. "Fuck! Which bastard hit me? Ioysbys sushys siunsiwg! (Expletive)"
Seeing her cursing so animatedly, Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the silent Tao Jixia. "Are you okay?"
Tao Jixia shook her head in a daze, "Britt caught him? We..."
Shi Nian nodded, "I know."
Tao Jixia looked around fearfully, curled up in a corner, tears in her eyes, "Will they kill us?"
Shi Nian squatted beside Tao Jixia soothingly and hugged him with her arms. "It's okay, someone will come to save us. Don't be afraid."
Tao Jixia shook his head hopelessly, "No, no one will come to save me. I am an orphan... and I came from the fifth galaxy. I, I..."
He was choked with sobs and unable to speak, his whole body filled with despair.
Did Shi Nian think about Tao Jixia's identity and feel extremely guilty? He knew in his heart that it was probably him who was implicated. When Tao Jixia was captured, he promised him, "I will get you out. Don't be afraid. I swear, I will never leave you alone."
Tao Jixia couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She looked at Shi Nian, nodded, and hugged him tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Well, I believe you."
Half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside.
Shi Nian looked up and saw a short Alpha wearing a lab suit with a bitter look on his face walking towards him, followed by another nonchalant Alpha.
Looking at the Alpha's single eye, Shi Nian's childhood memories resurfaced. "Is it you, the Alpha who captured people in the abandoned factory?"
07 acted flattered, "Wow, young master, you still remember me. I'm so honored. My ancestors are so proud."
Shi Nian: "..."
"Of course, I don't even know where my ancestral grave is." 07 laughed out loud, thinking it was humorous, but then he realized everyone else was looking at him coldly. "Uh... isn't it funny?"
Shi Nian looked at him like a fool.
"Alright." The Alpha in the lab suit approached the cell, looked at Shi Nian's face, and raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Little guys, your grandma should have mentioned me, right?"
Shi Nian and Nuobi looked at each other, their eyes were exactly the same blank.
Alpha looked at their bewildered expressions, and his face, which had finally come to life, fell again. He pointed at his own face with a look of astonishment, "You didn't mention me?! Not a single word?"
Shi Nian shook her head.
Visibly, the Alpha's eyes instantly turned red, and even his voice was choked. "Okay, Shi Xianyun, you're so fucking cruel, you, you... you bastard, wuwuwuwu——"
He seemed to be overwhelmed by the overwhelming sadness, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. With red eyes, he said to Shi Nian and Nuobi, "My name is Wu Xun. Remember this!"
After saying this, Wu Xun burst into tears again, crying heart-wrenchingly. Finally, he turned around, covered his face, and ran away.
Shi Nian: "..."
Is this Alpha so fragile?
Nuobi stared at Wu Xun's back with gritted teeth, "This is the bastard who secretly beat me, right? Just wait, if I don't kill you, I'll take your last name from you!"
07 No? He admitted that he was the one who caused the bump on Nobby's head and put the blame on his boss, "Yes, yes, it's my boss. He did all these bad things."
He glanced at Tao Jixia, who was curled up in the corner, and for some reason felt that he was a little pitiful. He felt a little sympathy for him and said, "Do you want something to eat? I'll get you some bread."
Shi Nianke didn't believe him, "Can the food you gave me be eaten?"
07 Funny: "Are you afraid that I'll poison you? How could I dare to do that? Your life is so valuable. If something happens to you, my boss will skin me alive."
