TISHW 21




Chapter 21 Rescue the Hostages

Not only were the audience confused, but the several people present were confused. Ye Yuanyu and the others all looked at Shu Hua and Shu Hua spontaneously said, "Bigshot, what's going on? Why close it again? Was the password wrong?"

Jiang Yu returned to the middle of the classroom, staring at the calculations on the blackboard, and replied, "That password is the answer to the first question. Haven't had time to change it yet."

Ye Yuanyu immediately understood, "The director group hasn't finished calculating the new questions yet, so the password is still the same."

Xiang Chen and Jian Cang showed expressions of realization. Some viewers understood and burst into laughter:

【I was saying! This girl is a game-freezing bug! No wonder the director group didn't know what to say, hahaha. 】

【What does it mean? Why don't I understand? 】

【As mentioned above, this kind of password lock can be changed remotely using a mobile phone. The plan of the program team should be that after we replace the numbers, they will directly use a calculator to calculate, and then replace the old password after calculation. No one foresaw Jiang Yu to actually calculate the old questions. Before they had time to replace the new password, she used the old password to open the door...]

【Understood. This director group really can’t say anything. According to the rules of the game, opening the password lock counts as clearing the level. It’s just that Jiang Yu didn’t open it according to procedure..]

【Hahahaha, everyone would normally focus on new questions and calculate. How could anyone think of this time difference! 】

【It can’t be that she had memorized the previous question in such a short period of time? 】

Jian Cang was shocked by this, "They have changed the questions to this and you remember the previous questions?!"

He glanced at the blackboard, "The answer to the eight-digit password has tens of millions possibilities."

Jiang Yu didn’t understand his shock, "They were changing it for so long..."

【Here, let me translate it for you. What the bigshot is saying is that the question is so simple. Is there any part that you can’t understand about figuring it out before they change it? 】

【Yes, it’s only five or six minutes. 】

【Although I am not as good as the top student in other aspects, I can understand her slight in this aspect. I feel this way when I watch my first-grade nephew do arithmetic problems. 】

【I used to scold the program team as dogs, but this time I suddenly sympathized with them. With Jiang Yu here, would the director's heart be frightened like this from time to time? 】

【Hahaha, in the past, "All Rounder" was a battle of wits and courage between the gods under the design of the program team. Now Jiang Yu has created a new way of playing and has involved the program team. Let's see if they dare not be rigorous in the future. 】

Some people disagreed with the audience's statement and felt like they saw through Jiang Yu's little thoughts:

【Come on, this is obviously a show. She must have known the answer to the first question. The program team drew everyone's attention to the revised question, making everyone feel that the program team isn’t cheating. But in fact she used the original answer to unlock the door? 】

【And the new questions that the audience changed can only be calculated with a calculator anyway. In the end, she actually didn't prove anything at all. The so-called question is just a gimmick by the program team to confuse the audience. 】

Someone refuted:

【Those who think it can’t be calculated are probably because they have never seen people who learn abacus and mental arithmetic. The powerful masters calculates the questions in seconds. 】

【Indeed, when we changed the question, we changed it one by one and were laughing and joking. It took five or six minutes, which is enough for the brain of a god. 】

【That's right, just because you can't do it doesn't mean that the top students can't do it. Don't blame them without evidence. 】

【Then do you have evidence to prove that she isn’t cheating? 】

【Enough, stop giving attention to these guys who are showing off their IQ. The more you talk about it, the more excited they become. 】

No matter how noisy the live broadcast room was, everyone at the scene obviously had the same opinion. Xiang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Scared me to death. I thought you had calculated it straight away. Why did you think of doing the original question?"

Jiang Yu said, "Nothing, I was just curious if it can open it."

Shu Hua had an idea, "Isn't it scaring everyone while you’re at it? The director got a fright."

Jiang Yu naturally refused to admit it, "That question wasn’t difficult."

Then looking at the calculator in her hand, she said, "Calculate it."

Only now, Shu Hua pressed the calculator. But after pressing it twice, she suddenly discovered a problem, "Huh? Is it broken?"

"Ah?" Jian Cang was unwilling to accept this reality, "Can’t be possible."

Shu Hua thoughtfully pondered, "I think it's possible. After all, the kidnappers don't want us to rescue Li Zhen, so they give us hope to make us despair. Let us be hit hard and then give up."

【It’s coming. Shu Hua’s magical and self-consistent logic. 】

Ye Yuanyu reached out and took the calculator from her hand. Taking a look at it, he said, "It's just missing a battery."

Shu Hua:......

Jian Cang laughed and said, "Look for the battery!"

After speaking, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Yu, only to see Jiang Yu looking at the clock hanging at the back of the classroom.

Shu Hua, who was next to her, noticed it and immediately said in surprise, "Yes! There is a battery in the clock!"

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and looked around. It was as if she was about to move a table and fetch the clock.

Ye Yuanyu speechlessly pointed out, "That's an AA battery, and the calculator uses buttons."

Shu Hua:......

【Hahaha, why do I feel that God Ye was a bit going against Shu Hua. 】

【Following Jiang Yu, Shu Hua is used to having a smooth journey. If there is a password, it will be solved immediately. If there is no password, it will be violently dismantled. How has she ever experienced such setbacks? Hahaha. 】

Shu Hua looked at Jiang Yu aggrievedly and Jiang Yu coughed lightly, "I just saw it walking and wondered if it meant something?"

"What does it mean?" Shu Hua immediately shifted her attention.

"It's not clear yet," Jiang Yu said, "It's 2:10 pm on December 23, 2013. You can remember the time first."

Xiang Chen said, "Let's find the battery first."

The button battery was only about the size of a fingernail and not easy to find. The six of them dispersed to six locations and started searching the carpet. Soon, they found a lot of things.

"The kidnapped person's name is Li Zhen, right?" Jian Cang, who was in charge of the front row and spoke with realization, "Come and look."

Everyone came closer and saw several exercise books on the desk. All with Li Zhen's name written on them. After removing the exercise books, there were many scratches on the table. If one looked carefully, they could see words such as "sow" and "cow". Clearly carrying insulting intentions.

Jian Cang pointed to the inner edge of the desk and showed them, "Here."

The word "Li Zhen" was engraved there. It was darker than other words and the handwriting was much more beautiful.

Several people who bent over and lowered their heads simultaneously noticed the garbage in the desk hole. Ye Yuanyu frowned and stretched out his hand to take out a paper ball. Xiang Chen, Jian Cang, and Shu Hua reached out and took one each. When they opened it, they saw all the rubbish on it. Using pens of various colors, dirty words were written such as "Trash!" "Idiot!" "What are you living for? Go and die!". They were like a bunch of demons dancing around. For high school students whose minds weren’t yet fully mature, it was shocking enough.

Xiang Chen frowned and guessed the original reason for the kidnapping case, "campus bullying."

This was already very obvious. The next step was to find out who was bullying Li Zhen.

Everyone began to search the table holes separately. Except for Li Zhen's table hole, everyone else's table holes were full of books with names written on them. They might be able to find some clues.

Soon Shu Hua stood in the last row and said, "All Li Zhen's textbooks are here!"

There was a messy desk in the corner of the last row by the window. The desk was full of graffiti. But unlike the insulting calligraphy and paintings in front of it, this desk was full of skeletons that young girls like when they are rebellious, cool English vocab, and probably the name of the boy she liked, which was surrounded by love hearts.

Li Zhen's textbooks were in the hole of this desk. Obviously. It hadn’t been well maintained. It was either curled or covered with messy graffiti.

Shu Hua angrily remarked, "Is this the person who bullied Li Zhen?"

As she said this, she started to search the desk. Jiang Yu picked up the textbook that was on the desk from the beginning. Xiang Chen said, "I have read it. It’s Li Zhen’s.”

Jiang Yu read through it from beginning to end. It was a mess of graffiti.

Ye Yuanyu muttered, "This is Li Zhen's math exercise book. The previous ones are her exercise books for other subjects."

"Li Zhen only kept those few exercise books because she is doing her homework? Have all the other books been snatched away?"

"Whose position was this?"

Jiang Yu watched in silence for a moment, then put down her textbook, and walked straight to the podium. However, Qin Shiyu, who was dawdling around all the time, actually also walked up from the other side. It was quite coincidental. Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows and her feet turned to prepare to leave.

In this episode, she was here to prove that she did not cheat. She didn’t want to cause any extra trouble. It was the same for others to find clues.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shiyu took the initiative and said, "It seems you have some ideas."

Jiang Yu shook her head, but she was secretly wary. One must know that Jiang Sheng's nonsense last week made the protagonist group awkwardly keep a distance from her. There was no communication during the non-recording period this time. And during the current recording a polite social distance was maintained.

Not to mention the person directly involved. She remembered Qin Shiyu's rare dark expression at that time. Besides, outrageous rumors on the forum on Sunday as well as Chen Yalian's plan had popped up. Jiang Yu didn't believe that Zhao Shunong didn't tell him. So no matter what the reason was, she should keep her distance from him.

When something is amiss, then there must be something up.

However, Qin Shiyu appeared very easy-going and said with a smile, "Your insight is very powerful. Let's look for it together and we can get the result with half the effort?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's hesitation, he joked, "What? Are you afraid that you'll of stirring CP with me?"

Hearing this and seeing the joking in her eyes, Jiang Yu felt relieved. Although she didn't know why he was provoking, the last thing she was afraid of was provocation.

Stepping onto the podium, Jiang Yu walked straight up to Qin Shiyu and smiled shyly, "No, I'm just worried that you will be afraid of me."

After saying that, she stretched out her arms toward Qin Shiyu, leaned forward, and looked serious. The way she invaded his space was a "table kabedon” posture.

Qin Shiyu took two steps back reflexively and then saw the mocking look in Jiang Yu's eyes. She was saying, you lost.

【……】

【……】

【What did I just see? God Yu being shy and dodging, right? 】

【The first person who dares to tease God Yu! Awesome! 】

【Although I know that God Yu doesn’t like physical contact with people, I want to say, why are you dodging! 】

【I can’t help but boldly open the microphone: I agree with you two stirring CP! This is called the domineering bigshot and her 1.85 meter delicate wife. 】

【Hahaha, when God Yu mentioned stirring CP, I didn't agree with it in my heart. But now I'm a little shaken. How did the bigshot use her height of 1.7 meters to show the domineering power of 7.1 meters? 】

Jiang Yu had already picked up the chalk box behind Qin Shiyu and smiled slyly at his reaction, "Of course, I'm a little afraid."

Qin Shiyu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

In fact, Jiang Yu was about 1.7 meters tall. Although she was considered tall among girls, when she was close to Qin Shiyu, she only reached the position of his chin. However, she had great lethality despite looking harmless to humans and animals. Her courageous and domineering attitude just now made Qin Shiyu feel that she would hug him.

And he hated physical contact.

What may seem like a trait that cannot be overstepped to others, but to her, it becomes his disadvantage.

Qin Shiyu chuckled, sounding quite pleasant, "En, afraid afraid."

Jiang Yu:……

She would be afraid of a tall man who was over 1.8 meters tall saying overlapping words, okay?

【God Yu actually acted so cute. it made me laugh to death. 】

【Ahhhhh, she was indeed teasing God Yu! 】

【It’s so strange. I know she did it on purpose, but why doesn’t it feel tea-ish at all? 】

【Tea? What tea? If such a bigshot with top-notch IQ and top-notch looks was leaning against you, then she definitely favoring you! How could it be tea-ish? 】

【I am willing to be Elder Sister’s first girlfriend. Elder Sister, please come kabedon me. I promise not to hide! 】

【Really, how did she manage to be both well-behaved and naughty at the same time? Ahhhh, me likey! 】

In fact, the exchange between them lasted only two seconds. Jiang Yu didn't know that the camera had magnified everything and the barrage was going crazy. In order to prevent getting disdained by the audience, she didn't do anything else. Anyway, she had already won and being aggressive was rude. She shook the chalk box, looked at it for a few times, and then put it down again. Apparently it didn't have any clues.

Qin Shiyu finally calmed down and leaned against the blackboard to resume dawdling around.

Jiang Yu found a folded piece of paper under another chalk box. After opening it, she found it was a notification sheet. Hearing that they were guessing who was the person who bullied Li Zhen, Jiang Yu read, "Zhang Diyi, Sun Xue, Wang Zha."

Shu Hua and the others looked up. Jiang Yu handed the notification sheet to Jian Cang, who was nearest, and walked toward the door of the classroom. "Li Zhen, Zhang Diyi, Sun Xue, and Wang Zha, Class 9, Grade 3, have repeatedly been absent from class for no reason and violated the school discipline and rules. If they do not change despite repeated admonitions, they will be notified and criticized.”

While pressing the password, she analyzed, "If it's campus bullying, then it's among these people."

Jian Cang said, "It should be all of them, right? Aren't the kidnappers a group of people?"

He didn't understand. "What kind of deep hatred is it? Bullying people to the point of wishing for their death as well as torturing their families."

Shu Hua angrily said, "Catch them all and send them to be rehabilitated!"

Jiang Yu opened the classroom door without comment and walked out, "Go to the teacher's office and have a look. There should be clues there."

She left naturally, while the others directly followed.

When she went out, Shu Hua was a little confused, "Is this the end? Why do I feel like there's something missing?"

Jian Cang scratched his head, "Just look for the person who bullied Li Zhen. I guess that's right. I didn't find any useful clues in the students' desk holes."

【Password! Password! ! ! 】

【You haven’t found the battery yet? What about that big blackboard question? Did you just forget about it? 】

【Bigshot, how come you know the password again? 】
