Chapter 114 A Ring
It was not until this moment that Lin Guantang knew some of the true nature of Quan O College.
The bad news:
It turned out that his name had been marked by others from the very beginning - in other words, his fate had been assigned to someone else by the school without his knowledge.
Good news
Perhaps it can be considered good news:
The person who signed the list was Huo Shizhen.
No matter what purpose Huo Shizhen had in signing his name at that time, at least the result was good, as it prevented Lin Guantang from falling into a bad situation.
Although Huo Shizhen never used this signature to actually do anything coercive to himself, he never mentioned anything about the engagement.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to look it up today and asked him to look at it, and if it was not for the purpose of studying other people's marriages, he would still know nothing about this matter. However, Lin Guantang didn't think that other people who used this signature to force matching would give any preferential treatment to the matched omegas.
He cannot use his own special luck to speculate on the situations faced by others, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, even if this was the case, even if knowing what Huo Shizhen had done would be very beneficial to him, but Lin Guantang thought about it over and over again, and came up with countless reasons, but there was still an indescribable feeling of depression, like a lump in his throat.
Finally, Lin Guantang said softly:
"You never told me you were going to do this."
Huo Shizhen's calm voice rang in his ears:
"Is it necessary?"
What else?
Lin Guantang suddenly looked up at him and saw that he was drinking water with a calm expression. It seemed that the topic Lin Guantang was talking about was not the signature related to the fate of marriage, but the difference in temperature between the two glasses of water.
This made him feel helpless, not knowing whether to be angry or shocked, and almost laughing out of anger.
Facing Lin Guantang's speechless and slightly angry expression, Huo Shizhen finally felt guilty and realized that from a normal person's perspective, this topic was quite serious, and his response was full of negativity and perfunctory.
Then he thought about it, expanded on the three words above, and gave a new response that should be considered full of sincerity:
"It's a rotten object destined to disappear and perish. It's foolish and redundant, with no value in existence. To mention it any further would be a waste of words. I'm signing this because it hasn't disappeared yet, and I'm using this rule to give you some peace of mind. Besides that, I've never used this to bind you in any way, so is there any need to bring it up specifically?"
Lin Guantang: ...
Well, how could he forget that Huo Shizhen's brain is completely different from that of normal people.
Huo Shizhen didn't deliberately keep it a secret from him, but he truly believed from the bottom of his heart...
It's not directed at Lin Guantang, but at the entire O College, which has a long-standing system that is disregarded.
But, didn’t he say something remarkable—what is meant by decaying goods destined to disappear and perish?
Lin Guantang looked at him, a little surprised:
"Have you wanted to abolish this rule for a long time?"
Huo Shizhen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, saying:
"If this is your wish, then it will naturally disappear after my goal is achieved."
Lin Guantang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant -
The so-called rotten product does not refer to this rule, but the entire O Academy.
Huo Shizhen did not want to abolish this signing rule, but wanted to close down the entire QuanO Academy.
After the momentary accident, Lin Guantang easily remembered the previous live broadcast.
It is suggested that when he says something like changing the entire O Academy, it is not a joke or a PR line, nor is it a simple reform, but a direct abolition.
Lin Guantang took a deep breath, then slowly spoke again to confirm:
"So your goal is to abolish the entire All-O Academy?"
Huo Shizhen said:
“There is no value in existence.”
Lin Guantong Road
"But you never took action."
Huo Shizhen continued with the same tone as before and answered the question:
"It's also not worth my while to set aside time to deal with it."
Lin Guantang probably understood what he meant.
Huo Shizhen judged that Quan O College was an outdated and decadent product——
It's easy to imagine why he had this plan. It wasn't because O Academy was oppressing Omegas and forcing them to do things they were unwilling to do. It was just that O Academy's philosophy was ignorant, its teaching was outdated, and it was corrupt from top to bottom. Its existence was a barnacle on the Empire.
It is a parasite on the body of the empire and is useless except for absorbing nutrients from the empire.
In short, for Huo Shizhen, there is no need to keep it, but it is neither important nor urgent, so it doesn't matter if it continues to stay here as a decoration. He will only take the time to deal with it when someone offends him.
Lin Guantang is different.
After understanding everything, he had the same idea as Huo Shizhen without any hesitation. The entire O Academy - at least this rule was backward, ignorant, outdated and corrupt, and must be abolished.
This was a matter that concerned his own vital interests. As an omega, he couldn't remain indifferent whether this rule applied to him or his classmates.
Of course, not all of my classmates are cute and friendly, but why should they become commodities to be chosen?
And it is a commodity that will be abused at will.
And now, an opportunity is right in front of us.
It wasn't hard to guess why Huo Shizhen suddenly came to him at this time to let him know about matters related to the signature.
He wanted to take advantage of Gu Jiaying's engagement to start his cleanup plan from Dai Zhourong.
Although Huo Shizhen did not intend to clean up actively, he was always prepared to remove this barnacle from the empire.
Lin Guantang stood up from the chair, put on his slippers, and paced back and forth anxiously.
On the one hand, he was indeed persuaded by Huo Shizhen's idea, and he was eager to do this with him.
But on the other hand, he was very clear that according to Huo Shizhen's idea, the one who was going to lure the snake out of its hole was obviously his classmate Gu Jiaying.
"It's very dangerous."
Lin Guantang frowned and said:
"He's just an ordinary omega. Isn't it a bad idea to collect evidence?"
"Instead of worrying about that, you should first worry about whether this student is willing to cooperate with you and whether he wants to break free from his predetermined fate."
Huo Shizhen has no sympathy and only analyzes the pros and cons from an absolutely rational perspective:
"Maybe he's still feeling smug about marrying the richest man in the district and saving his family from bankruptcy. If that's the case, then when you say you want to help him escape his dangerous marriage, he might think you're trying to destroy his marriage out of jealousy or some other motive.
"In this situation, if you discuss with him how to deal with Dai Zhourong, it won't be him who's in danger, it'll be you."
Because he would definitely tell Dai Zhourong about this matter. Even if he only revealed a little bit that someone was planning to deal with him, he would be alerted.
Nobles and nobles——
Especially the nobles with shady backgrounds, they always kept their distance from Huo Shizhen. On the one hand, Huo Shizhen was cruel, and on the other hand, outside of the military academy missions, the people he dealt with were those who took the initiative to provoke him.
So it was easy for them to form a self-righteous consensus - as long as they didn't rush to show themselves in front of Huo Shizhen, they didn't have to worry about their own danger.
But if you know that you have been targeted by someone with "bad intentions" and are sure that someone is going to deal with you, you will not sit still and wait for death. It is easy for you to consider taking the initiative.
Lin Guantang was thoughtful:
"So when we meet, I will ask him indirectly about his views on this marriage, to see if he is willing or forced, whether he can keep the secret, and whether he is willing to break free from his fate."
"No."
Huo Shizhen narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of excitement flashing across his reddish-brown gaze, like a beast about to begin a hunt:
"What you have to make sure of is that the goal you must achieve is—"
"Confirm whether he has already realized that he is facing death, and make him clearly understand that your help for him is not out of universal pity or excessive kindness, but a determination that will affect the entire body. If he does not do this, the only fate that awaits him is a tragic death, and-"
"You are the only one who can save him, but the key to success lies with him, not you."
Only in this way can he completely trust Lin Guantang, make him take the initiative and spare no effort to give full play to his instinctive value, and make him act cautiously and never reveal any clues until the matter is accomplished.
Lin Guantang shuddered, stared at him for a long while, and then said quietly:
"You are polluting my mind."
Huo Shizhen chuckled softly:
"Then, Mr. Xiaolin, who is helping people in need, would you like to adopt this?"
In the end, Lin Guantang could only sigh and say that he would meet Gu Jiaying first before discussing anything else.
***
That would be the best outcome. Without waiting for Lin Guantang to hint at her, Gu Jiaying had already found out a lot. She knew that she was going to marry a demon who liked to torture and kill, and she had a strong will to survive. She brought the blood letter to Lin Guantang to read, and with tears in her eyes, she begged him to save her.
Then Lin Guantang gave him a ring.
Gu Jiaying took the ring, looked it over and over, and then revealed an indescribable expression.
“This is…”
He had no intention of looking down on Lin Guantang. On the contrary, he admired Lin Guantang's noble and selfless qualities very much, and respected his initiative to help others in many aspects without caring about his own life and death, even to the point of praising him.
Otherwise, he would not have placed the only hope of escaping the fate of death on Lin Guantang.
If Lin Guantang could rescue a strange, poor omega from a cannibalistic place like Xiangwu Villa, he could definitely rescue his closer schoolmate from this cannibalistic marriage.
He thought so confidently.
But this ring, how should I put it, really, no matter how you look at it, it's just a cheap plastic product.
There were even unpolished plastic edges on the edges, making it look like something you could buy from a roadside stall, the kind of pretend street stall that kids would love.
"Locator, with monitoring and recording functions."
Lin Guantang briefly introduced the ring, and then said:
"He must have murdered more than just the three ladies mentioned above. It's very likely that he is still plotting to murder others."
"And judging by the situation, he doesn't mind you knowing some of his secrets—perhaps he thinks you can't break free of your chains once you're in the cage, so it doesn't matter. Perhaps your frightened expression is what he wants. This will make it easier for you to collect evidence, but you still have to be careful, extremely careful. This is just a guess, not a safe bet you can rely on."
"As long as you can find definitive evidence that he's harmed someone, I'll have a way to put him in jail. You can use this ring to collect evidence, and if necessary, you can simply activate the location. I'll know and come to rescue you."
Gu Jiaying held the ring tightly and looked at Lin Guantang with hope:
"Will you really come to rescue me?"
"Yes."
Lin Guantang made him a sincere promise:
"No matter what you are about to face, I will save you and allow you to escape death."
***
Finally, Lin Guantang held a large bunch of colorful flowers and a large bag of local specialties, and waved goodbye as Gu Jiaying looked on with tears in her eyes:
"Haitang, today is my happy day. I never thought I'd get to meet and dine alone with my idol. I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to see you again. Please come to my wedding!"
It seems that their meeting today is really that the fan finally contacted the idol after much difficulty, and then tried every means to have a pre-wedding party - after all, after getting married, there will be very little time for oneself.
But... Lin Guantang returned to the car and smelled the bouquet of flowers, which was still very fresh and fragrant, and was speechless.
The acting is too exaggerated.
