EN1MP 29

Dear Readers, 

Unfortunately after much consideration, I decided to move the EN1MP release to Patreon due to a few reasons from this chapter on. The public access (once a week rate) and Patreon's advance chapter system will still remain the same as now. So don't panic if a chapter is locked on Patreon, it will be unlocked to public at slower pace. For more details, go to Reader Page.

Chapter 29

The main material used in the high-level explosive potion was the level 7 blazing grass, which was combined with various other high-level magic plants. Since there were more medicinal materials at that time, Ye Wenya refined a full five bottles in one go.

This high-level explosive potion was often used by forging masters to temper the best magic weapons. Ordinary water couldn’t extinguish it. As long as the object contained impure dark impurities, it could keep it burning continuously until the impurities in the object were burned out. Only then, the flame would slowly go out.

Earlier, the hellhound contained a lot of dark matter in its body. When it encountered this potion, it was like hot oil encountering water. It exploded higher all of a sudden and the fire burned fiercely.

But now...

It was obvious that these Zergs in front of them also contain a lot of dark matter in their bodies. The explosive potion was burning fiercely and the flames were even much higher than those on the hellhound before. But after so much time, the striped black beetles on the opposite side were alive and kicking!

"I didn't expect these guys to have much better resistance than the mutated beasts." Ye Wenya's eyes were cold, staring closely at the three striped black beetles in front of her. The previous level 7 mutated beast almost lost its combat effectiveness soon after getting in contact with the explosive potion.

Unforeseen, the black beetles on the opposite side could still fly now.

The striped black beetles with flames on their bodies screamed as they burned. The shells behind them were flapping quickly as they tried to pounce on Ye Wenya's group to rub the burning flames on their bodies onto the three of them.

"I didn't expect these Zergs to be so intelligent..." Frowning slightly, Ye Wenya held a laser sword in her hand and slashed at the softest weakness of the black beetle - the antennae and eyes!

"Squeak! Squeak!...!"

The black beetle dodged quickly, turned around, and rushed toward the nearby Bai Xia and Pan Mu.

"It seems that the effect of the explosive potion on these Zerg, although not as good as the mutated beast, has greatly reduced the opponent's combat effectiveness..." Ye Wenya pursed her lips, subconsciously moved her perlicue that had just been numbed by the shock, and made a judgment.

The combat effectiveness of the intermediate Zerg was amazing and only beastmen with A-level physique could resist it. However, she just relied on her useless D-level physique to scare the opponent away. This showed that although the explosive potion didn't make the opponent lose its combat ability immediately, it made the opponent to be pained until it could hardly fight.

Bai Xia and Pan Mu, who were also fighting with the black beetle, obviously discovered this.

Bai Xia's eyes lit up. He raised the laser sword in his hand, jumped up, and slashed a black beetle's head with a fierce knife.

"Hua La La..."

The black beetle whose head was chopped had its fragile neck cut in two by Bai Xia!

The body of the black beetle fell to the ground, while the red flame on the body was burning. Ye Wenya subconsciously glanced at the laser sword in Bai Xia's hand.

En, fortunately, this laser sword was obviously not within the range of the explosive flame potion. Otherwise if the sword touched the fire just now, it might have burst in flame.

In the interstellar era, there was no potion that could make metal objects burn and refine the impurities in them.

"Sha Sha Sha..."

The other two black beetles saw their companions being killed by the humans in front of them, and turned around to escape. However, nimble Pan Mu blocked the retreat of the two Zergs in an instant and solved them directly.

To prevent the fire from spreading outward, Ye Wenya raised her hand and took out another bottle of potion from her boso. She gently sprinkled it on the three Zergs. Not long after, the orange flames covering the bodies slowly extinguished, leaving only three Zerg corpses that had been burned beyond recognition.

"What should we do now? Should we continue along this route to the rest camp? Or should we simply take a detour to another place to temporarily avoid this wave of Zerg?"

Bai Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the three Zerg corpses on the ground with lingering fear on his face. "I remember that the recent military intelligence showed that the Zerg army only appeared in the north of the empire. Why did the planet in our south also have conflicts? Could it be that some Zerg army directly surrounded the entire K-0218 planet? If the planet is surrounded by Zergs, we don't have the ability to handle it even if we thought of it."

Bai Xia had seen the appearance of planets occupied by Zerg armies in educational films since he young.

Yellow sand was flying all over the sky as the breath of death enveloped the entire planet. All one could see was a ruined ruin without even a hint of green. Compared to the educational film, the planet was originally green and full of vitality and the residents of the empire lived and worked happily everywhere...

Just thinking about it, Bai Xia felt his hair stand on end.

"You think too much."

Tired, Pan Mu took a deep breath, wiped the sweat that slid from his forehead to his cheeks roughly, and said with a frown: "Every time the Zerg army surrounded the planet, there are at least hundreds of millions of Zerg soldiers... That large number of Zerg would cover the sky and the sun. Look at now. The batch of Zerg just now was no more than a hundred. How can the Zerg army that surround the planet send such a small force?"

"It can't it be that vanguard troops came to explore first?" Unwilling to admit defeat, Bai Xia continued.

"The vanguard troops is even more impossible. No vanguard would be so stupid as to only alert the enemy and chase the beastmen, but forget to investigate the specific situation of the planet." Pan Mu rubbed his eyebrows, "What's more, the vanguards sent by the Zerg on most days are all small, fast, and difficult to be discovered." 

The Zerg Queen's IQ wasn’t inferior to that of the beastmen. In fact, because the other party had the memory from the blood since birth, she knew how to deal with the beastmen and how to dispatch other Zerg under her command to fight for her. 

"I guess this time, with these Zergs... it is impossible to see the Zerg Queen... Without the Zerg Queen leading them, these ordinary Zergs are just a mob. They will soon be eliminated by the Royal Guards and instructors guarding the planet. There is no need to worry about being surrounded by the Zerg army." 

After saying this, Pan Mu's breath became more even. He turned to look at Ye Wenya, "Classmate Ye, I don't know if you have a lot of potions. If there are enough, we can go directly to the camp along the route we set earlier and eliminate the Zergs in front of us to reduce the burden on the instructors." 

"I don't have much of this kind of potion, so can't eliminate so many Zergs... However, the effect of the anti parasitic drug can last for a whole day, so there is no need to change the route. We can go directly to the camp and notify the instructors as soon as possible." Ye Wenya looked at Pan Mu duo and said seriously. 

If high-level explosive potions were used to deal with these Zergs, afraid they couldn't do without 20-30 bottles of potions. Besides, it was too extravagant to use so many explosive potions to deal with these ordinary Zergs. 

Ye Wenya felt pained just thinking about it. There were too many Zergs. It would be best if she could find a drug that was easy to make and could be used on a large scale.

"There are so many Zergs chasing after Su Wanqiu and the others. I don't know if they can return to the camp safely." Even though he didn't like Fang Shaoyuan’s group, Bai Xia cared about them due as classmates.

"They aren’t slow. They should be able to escape. We aren’t far from the camp. The instructor's patrol team may be near the camp."

After Bai Xia duo said a few words, the intelligent neuralink device in Ye Wenya's hand started to beep. Bai Xia and the others were stunned. Just as they were about to speak, the intelligent neuralink devices in their hands also started to beep!

"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!..."

The electronic virtual light screen in the intelligent neuralink device suddenly jumped out automatically. A bald man in military uniform stood on the screen. The other party had a serious face and stood straight.

"Issuing an emergency notice now! Issuing an emergency notice now!... Please all students who hear the news immediately put down everything in your hands and rush to the rest camp as quickly as possible for emergency shelter!"

"This time, we encountered a wormhole that is rarely seen in a century. Many Zergs took the opportunity to land on this planet. In order to protect the lives and safety of the students, please actively cooperate and try to avoid casualties!"

3RYB 31.2

Wen Renjing stood at the door, smiling and waving at Gu Qi: "Good afternoon, Elder Sister."

Gu Qi found it strange and asked: "Why did you come?"

"My mother read Weibo and felt that you are particularly pitiful. So her sense of superiority reappeared and told me to comfort you." 

Wen Renjing answered like this. He put up an act of covering his lips because he 'knew that he had said something wrong' and said exaggeratedly: "Sorry, did I say something wrong."

Gu Qi: "... That's enough, stop acting."

"Okay." Wen Renjing was very 'obedient'. He immediately put down his hand, and lolled against the door frame with a twinkle in his eyes: "In fact, it's not entirely because of my mother's order. I also want to see if Elder Sister is secretly crying at home. After all, I haven't seen such a scene."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a strange hobby of watching people cry." Gu Qi calmly withdrew her hand holding the door handle and said: "I'm so sorry to disappoint you."

Wen Renjing didn't treat himself as an outsider and followed Gu Qi into the apartment. At the sight of the piles of tissues in the living room trash can, he remarked with interest: "So Elder Sister can lie too."

She said she didn't cry, but in fact she was very sad and vulnerable, just like the time he saw her by chance when he was younger.

Unlike his mother who always told him how painful it was after his father's death, Gu Qi never told Jiang Lechuan about it.

To some extent, he really envied Jiang Lechuan. Because of ignorance, he didn't have to bear anything these years.

As Gu Qi said.

They couldn't do anything or help. The more they knew, the more pain they naturally suffered.

Gu Qi looked at Wen Renjing with a look of 'Are you okay?' and said: "You're talking about this? Jiang Lechuan was crying."

Although it was mainly Ning Xiwei's, Gu Qi still gave the girl some face and didn't mention her.

Wen Renjing: "?"

When he looked up, he saw Jiang Lechuan sitting at the dining table not far away. 

Oh, and also that Ning Xiwei.

Wen Renjing showed a trace of confusion in his eyes, and said: "They have nowhere to go? Why are they all in your house?"

He deliberately raised his voice to make sure Jiang Lechuan and Ning Xiwei could hear it.

Ning Xiwei: "?"

What do you mean by this?

How come this Wen Renjing was as annoying as Jiang Lechuan? Was it their business if she sticks to Gu Qi?

Jiang Lechuan was also irked.

Gotta be kidding, right? This was his biological elder sister. He should be the one asking this question, alright?

In the end.

Wen Renjing sat at the table and another pair of chopsticks were added.

Fortunately, Ning Xiwei cooked a large table of dishes to prove her cooking skills. If not, it would not be enough to eat even if the number of people doubled.

Still, Ning Xiwei was speechless.

She personally cooked for Gu Qi. It had nothing to do with Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan. 

Two people came to freeload and each of them acted like she shouldn't be here.

Really...

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!!!

But with Gu Qi present, Ning Xiwei could only suppress her dissatisfaction and clipped food for Gu Qi with a sensible expression.

There were four crabs on the plate. It just so happened there were four people.

Ning Xiwei clipped the biggest one and put it in Gu Qi's bowl first.

And at this moment.

The knock on the door sounded again.

Gu Qi: "."

Her paper was finally coming.

So Gu Qi got up again and opened the door——

Silence. 

She found Mu Yuan standing at the door and was holding a big bag of paper in his hand: "The delivery man gave it to me jukst now."

Gu Qi nodded to show that she understood. It was obvious that Mu Yuan and the delivery man bumped into each other. Still, her mood was a bit tangled and she asked: "Did Paternal Aunt also see the hot search and ask you to come?"

Mu Yuan was slightly stunned. Then he nodded and handed over a small piece of cake in his hand.

Actually not.

My parents went to the countryside to help an old grandpa repair his house these two days, so they probably didn't have time to pay attention to these things on the Internet.

He came here because he wanted to see Elder Sister.

However, when he saw three people sitting in front of the dining table, Mu Yuan regretted it.

There were so many people.

If he knew earlier, he wouldn't come.

But since he had already come in, it would be strange to turn around and leave. So Mu Yuan could only sit down.

It was the girl named Ning Xiwei who brought him the bowl and chopsticks. When she put them down, she was obviously irritated.

Mu Yuan didn't think he had offended her and naturally attributed the cause to Jiang Lechuan or Wen Renjing.

Although it was unknown why it turned out like this, half a bowl of rice was sufficient for each person -

That was under the premise that no one sought trouble.

Wen Renjing raised his chopsticks. His face showed hesitation and he uttered: "I really want to eat crabs."

Gu Qi: "..."

What was he up to now?

Puzzled, Jiang Lechuan responded: "It's not like someone covered your mouth and stopping you from eating?"

Wen Renjing put down his chopsticks and stated seriously: "But there are only three crabs left."

Gu Qi had one in her bowl and there were four people left. This meant that at least one person couldn't eat crabs.

Jiang Lechuan was about to say 'Then you eat it' as he didn't like crabs. But when Wen Renjing said "Elder Sister, you decide", he chose to shut up.

They may not necessarily wanted to eat this crab. The main point was to see how Gu Qi will distribute it.

Wen Renjing looked at Gu Qi with his curved eyes. While Gu Qi had an unsmiling smiled and looked like she wanted to punch him.

Ning Xiwei immediately interjected: "It's okay, I don't like it."

She smiled at Gu Qi lightly with her face conveying 'Don't worry about me', but she was smug in her heart.

Of course she knew that Wen Renjing was stirring trouble. She didn't want to join this meaningless competition for favor.

What did being able to eat crabs or not amount to?

She wished that such scenes would happen more often. She only needed to be obedient and share Gu Qi's worries. This would contrast to their stupidity and noisiness and she could be Gu Qi's most sensible and considerate younger sister.

She had always been good at pulling down things.

But Gu Qi directly clipped up a crab from the plate and put it in Ning Xiwei's bowl.

Anyone could choose not to eat, but Ning Xiwei worked hard to prepare this big table, so she couldn't be left without one.

And the remaining two crabs were placed in Wen Renjing and Mu Yuan's bowls respectively.

Jiang Lechuan's eyes widened. He never anticipated that he would be the one who couldn't eat the crab in the end.

But the next second, before Jiang Lechuan could stand up and make a scene, Gu Qi quickly picked up the crab in her bowl and put it into Jiang Lechuan's bowl, saying, "Be quiet."

The main reason was that this crab had already been in her bowl. It was not polite to give it to others, so she gave it to Jiang Lechuan in the end.

Very good.

Now everyone could have one. No need to fight or make a scene, just eat it and go home.

Gu Qi was very satisfied with the current situation and even handed them all the tools to peel the crabs. She didn't remember which brand gave them the tools, but it didn't matter anyway.

Then Gu Qi clipped up a shrimp and put it in her bowl. Ignoring everyone's gazes, she began to eat.

Realizing that he had failed, Wen Renjing shrugged and lowered his head to eat the crab in his bowl.

Not putting on any pink-color glasses, it tasted good.

Like Gu Qi, Wen Renjing also thought that Ning Xiwei's cooking skills were excellent.

Jiang Lechuan's mood also improved.

The one in his sister's bowl was the biggest one. It was specially for him. What did this mean? It meant that he was the most important in his elder sister's heart!

Five minutes later.

"Bang——"

The sound of two bowls colliding.

Slightly confused, Gu Qi raised her eyes and saw that two bowls appeared in front of her bowl at the same time.

Gu Qi looked to her left.

Ning Xiwei had a faint smile on her face as always, but it was obvious that she was a little shocked or even embarrassed.

And on her right hand side. Mu Yuan also looked at her. There was a trace of confusion in the boy's normally indifferent eyes.

Since the two people were sitting face to face, it was obvious that they held out their bowls at the same time without any preparation and resulted in this awkward bump.

Gu Qi looked at the two bowls in front of her again.

Inside were two almost identical peeled crabs.

Chapter 31  

Jiang Lechuan: “???”

Was this the point?

He was so moved that his tears had rolled onto his chin. It instantly became awkward now.

Jiang Lechuan immediately raised his hand, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and declared: “… Got it!”

What? ! ! !

Seeing this situation, Gu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction: “Okay, you come in first.”

He swiftly entered the door. 

Jiang Lechuan had not forgotten why he came here. He sat in front of the coffee table and peeled a banana while saying: “Don’t change the subject. I came here today to ask something.”

He stared at Gu Qi’s face stubbornly, with an expression that conveyed he wouldn't leave until he achieved his goal.

Today, he finally understood that his elder sister had been reluctant to bring it and deliberately conceal the pain of the past.

Gu Qi took a sip of the hot water in the cup before lightly replying: "It's only those things. I can bear it. There's nothing worth talking about." 

She looked up and smiled at Jiang Lechuan, saying: "It's all over. We already won beautifully. There's no need to dwell on it." 

As always, her emotions were stable. It was as if the injuries that happened to her were just a brief history. 

When Jiang Lechuan finally calmed down a little, his emotion was on the verge of collapse again. He shot up and said: "But I'm your Younger Brother! We are one family!" 

How could the elder sister to suffer outside, while the younger brother cluelessly be at ease and live a 'good life' for so many years? 

Family members should share weal and woe and stay together forever. If Elder Sister couldn't tell him these, who else could she tell? Who could help her a little? 

His and Gu Qi's personalities were like two completely polar opposite.

One was too easily irritable, couldn't hide anything, and would explode at the slightest thing. While the other could digest and bear it alone no matter what happens.

"If I tell you..."

Gu Qi was a little helpless. She felt the words at the tip of the tongue was a little hurtful, but under Jiang Lechuan's resolute gaze, she had no choice but to finish: "If I tell you, what can you do?"

Once the door of Jiāng Family was closed, it wasn't possible for them to meet.

Jiang Lechuan didn't know anything. On top of that, Jiāng Zhiyu would treat him like her own Younger Brother.

If Jiang Lechuan knew, he would speak up for her and the final outcome would be the same as hers.

At that time, they could do nothing.

They were just ants controlled by others.

Jiang Lechuan froze. 

He blurted out, "Yes, I can't do anything, but I can let Dad and Mom..."

He didn't finish his words.

When he saw the indifference or even disgust in his elder sister's eyes at the mentioned of their parents, he recalled every quarrel between Elder Sister and their parents and his face turned pale instantly.

In addition, after he saw the hot search, his mother called him on the way here.

At that time, he was upset and just hung up after a few perfunctory words without listening carefully.

Now recalling it, my mother's words were all accusing Elder Sister of being insensible and posting those recordings on Weibo would affect the company's stock price.

There was no concern for Elder Sister at all. Nor any shock, as if...

Jiang Lechuan found it absurd.

His brain actually pointed all this to the same answer.

He had never felt so panicked in his life and that world was almost on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Lechuan heard his voice trembling, and asked with great difficulty: "Mom and Dad have always known, right?"

They knew it a long time ago, but they did nothing about it. That was why Elder Sister gave up on this family.

"Yes."

Gu Qi closed her eyes and admitted. Then she continued: "Jiang Lechuan, since my choice at the beginning was to make you happy, I naturally can't tell you these."

Otherwise her choice would be meaningless.

Take the example of parents spending money on expensive interest classes for their children. Constantly emphasizing that their money was hard-earned would only add troubles and burdens to their children and the original intention lose it existence.

Jiang Lechuan's face showed a look of surprise.

Though he let out laugh, his head was lowered and his eyes were closed hard.

He trembled.

All this completely broke all knew since he could remember.

How could children accept the fact that their parents don't love them.

But Elder Sister should have known this since she left home.

When he thought how Dad and Mom scolded of Elder Sister over the years, or their accusations behind her back, he felt that those voices were particularly harsh and ironic.

He once thought that perhaps there was some reason for the conflict between Elder Sister and their parents.

Their parents would occasionally express how they missed Elder Sister and ask Paternal Aunt to visit her, just like every parent of the older generation who wasn't good at expressing their love in words.

He once thought...

One day, their family might still be able to resolve these conflicts and be as happy as before.

That was until now. Jiang Lechuan realized that everything was impossible.

Not to mention Elder Sister, even he couldn't forgive.

His eyes became redder and redder. He made a sound like a little animal's. It was like an endless whine.

So it was like this.

How could it be like this.

It was actually like this.

...

Jiang Lechuan just sobbed and his shoulders kept shaking.

Soon, he used up half a pack of tissues on the coffee table.

When he cried so hard and felt embarrassed, he buried his face in the sofa and refused to turn around.

So he didn't see the complicated glint in Gu Qi's eyes. Nor did he knew that this was the last tissue in the house.

Gu Qi tried to persuade him, but failed.

Then she sighed.

Gu Qi stuffed a towel between Jiang Lechuan's face and the sofa.

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Jiang Lechuan turned around with the towel and peered at Gu Qi, only to find that Gu Qi was playing with her phone.

While his voice still carrying some sobs, it expressed some befuddlement: "What are you doing?"

Shouldn't Elder Sister cry with him at this time? Then he would use this to promise that he would protect Elder Sister well in the future? This should be a very touching scene!

Why was she so indifferent? This was completely different from what he imagined!

"Buy paper." Gu Qi answered honestly, glanced at the towel in Jiang Lechuan's hand, and lowered her head to buy a few new ones as spares.

Jiang Lechuan: "..."

His tears found it even awkward at this moment.

Jiang Lechuan wanted to say something, but suddenly heard the kitchen door opened not far away and a sweet female voice rang out: "Elder Sis Gu Qi, the dishes are ready..."

The four eyes looked at each other.

Ning Xiwei and Jiang Lechuan fell silent at the same time.

Jiang Lechuan quickly covered his face with a towel, leaned on the sofa, put on a crazy attitude, and crossed his legs.

Nonsense!

Who would have thought that Ning Xiwei hadn't left his elder sister's house yet! He didn't want to cry in front of outsiders. How embarrassing!

It went without saying Ning Xiwei didn't expect Jiang Lechuan to be here.

The thing she hated most in her life was crying boys. At this moment, she felt an indescribable disgust in her heart and even began to regret that she had tried to hype up a CP with Jiang Lechuan.

Ning Xiwei simply chose to ignore Jiang Lechuan and continued to call out as if she didn't see anything: "Elder Sis Gu Qi, come and eat."

Gu Qi stood up, pressed the towel on Jiang Lechuan's face, and rubbed his face to wipe away his tears, saying: "Wash your face and come to eat."

"Oh."

Jiang Lechuan responded, took the towel to the bathroom, and hurriedly washed his face.

Soon.

The three of them sat at the dining table.

When Jiang Lechuan looked up at Ning Xiwei for the countless times, Ning Xiwei finally couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and stated: "What are you looking at?"

Why was he always looking at her? Was he cuckoo and couldn't let people eat.

Jiang Lechuan couldn't understand and asked, "Why are you still at my elder sister's house? Do you know each other well?"

Gu Qi's small apartment had two bedrooms and a living room. If Ning Xiwei stayed over, where would he sleep tonight?

He skipped practice and came here. Anyway, he will be punished, so he might as well not go back today!

Although he said it very 'euphemistically', Ning Xiwei still heard the meaning - 'Why don't you scram and make room'.

So Ning Xiwei showed a sweet smile and deliberately said, "I like Elder Sis Gu Qi. I want to cook, help her clean and wash clothes for Elder Sis Gu Qi. Is it any of your business?"

Jiang Lechuan was stunned for a moment. He turned to Gu Qi: "She's saying you are lazy?"

Otherwise, why was Ning Xiwei doing all the housework?

Ning Xiwei: "?"

When did she say such a thing? Gu Qi was here and Jiang Lechuan could distort it like this. What if it was behind her back?

Gu Qi: "..."

Jiang Lechuan's ability to understand had always been outrageous.

Ning Xiwei glared at Jiang Lechuan. Jiang Lechuan felt she was an eyesore. The atmosphere between the two was filled with currents.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Qi put down her chopsticks and stood up to get it.

Ning Xiwei quickly stood up, "Elder Sis Gu Qi, please sit down. I'll go open the door."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Why did Ning Xiwei, a guest, go to open the door? It was easy to misunderstand that she and Elder Sister have a close relationship, okay?

So Jiang Lechuan also stood up, "I'll go!"

Gu Qi was speechless: "...You two sit down. It's the paper delivery man. The paper at home has been all used up by your tears."

Ning Xiwei & Jiang Lechuan: "..."

Oh.

Gu Qi went to open the door, thinking it was a delivery man, but she didn't expect it was someone she never guessed.

Chapter 30 

The system was obviously more confused than her.

[Why is the host asking this? ]

"It's just that it's too fast." Gu Qi yawned and continued in her mind: "Jiāng Fengzhi may not care about Jiāng Zhiyu, but Jiāng Zhiyu represents Jiāng Family. She shouldn't admit it so quickly."

No matter how far fetched reason the found as long as it could be justified, they could get Jiāng Zhiyu hide from the limelight.

The entertainment industry wasn't like there was no stars with a history of school bullying. The evidence was conclusive, but as long as they didn't admit it, they could always find a way to cover it up.

As long as there was a good work or the public had forgotten this matter in a few years, it wasn't difficult to whitewash it.

However, Jiāng Zhiyu's official Weibo admitted it, which was the black material that nailed her to the hall of shame and could never be whitewashed in this life.

Although it wasn't to the extent that the country would ban her from the legal level, she will have no chance to appear on major platforms in this life.

What further confirmed Gu Qi's guess was that her mother sent an angry message.

[What nonsense are you saying in the live broadcast? ]

[You were getting more and more insensible, right? How can you put such a recording on the Internet? Have you considered Dad, Mom, Uncle Jiāng, and Auntie Jiāng? Why are you so selfish? ]

Gu Qi couldn't bother to reply.

Since she still had the time to blame her, it seemed that it really had no effect. Otherwise, she should be kneeling in front of the Jiāng Family and beg them to show mercy.

The system was busy

[Querying character emotions——

Query failed]

The system's voice seemed to be a little unexpected. After a short silence, it said, [Host, there seems to be some malfunction here. Please wait a moment. I need to look up a book to learn.]

Gu Qi: "...What book?"

[System Failure Self-Repair Guide]

Gu Qi: "."

There was such a thing? Okay.

At this moment, there was another person who didn't understand it either.

Ning Xiwei stood there and pondered for two minutes,, "I have heard that the Gong and Jiāng families were interested in marriage cooperation. This time things have become like this. I guess they want her to go back and get married quickly?"

"Maybe." Gu Qi didn't tell Ning Xiwei in detail, just said, "I'm a little tired."

The underlying meaning was that the matter was over and Ning Xiwei should leave.

Ning Xiwei nodded to show that she understood and then she awkwardly brought up: "I ordered takeout and bought some food. You take a good rest first, I will prepare afternoon tea and dinner."

Gu Qi: "?"

That was not what she meant.

Gu Qi was about to tell Ning Xiwei that she had misunderstood, but Ning Xiwei tried to put on a smiled at her and said: "I don't know how to thank you, but my cooking skills aren't bad. It's not worse than...Elder Sister's. you can try it."

Memory of Zhizi's good cooking skills popped up.

Even now, Gu Qi's mouth honestly gushed out saliva.

Okay.

Ning Xiwei had been at her house for a day, so this bit of time wasn't a big deal.

After getting Gu Qi's permission, Ning Xiwei smiled sincerely and said immediately, "I'll go prepare now."

Gu Qi stopped her again, "No rush, you should go to the guest room and rest for a while."

She went to bed and got up early yesterday, but Ning Xiwei was different. She didn't close her eyes all night.

"It's fine." Ning Xiwei said, "As long as I think how Jiāng Zhiyu's true face has been exposed and I don't have to see her anymore, I feel that my whole body is energized. It doesn't matter whether I sleep or not."

Seeing that Ning Xiwei said this so sincerely, Gu Qi didn't have the heart to ruin her good mood, such as telling her... In fact, she might still see Jiāng Zhiyu.

After all, according to the original plot, Jiāng Zhiyu's gone offline was because she wanted to harm the female lead, Shen Anran. After all, this was the 'meaning' of their vicious female support.

Forget it, let's not bring up such a mood spoiler.

When thinking this, Gu Qi suddenly caught sight of a new hot search.

＃Jiāng Zhiyu announced temporary absence from Troublesome Siblings production team＃

Gu Qi clicked on it in confusion. It was a Weibo from Jiāng Zhiyu's studio. Simply put, there was a schedule conflict and she would be absent from the next episode of Troublesome Siblings recording. The return date wasn't yet determined.

This was phrasing it euphemistically, but in fact, people in the circle could understand at a glance that it meant that she withdrew because of the public opinion storm.

Gu Qi: "?"

Ah?

Ah? ! !

Why must she participate in the recording of this production team? She couldn't avoid it after using countless ways, but Jiāng Zhiyu could leave?

Wasn't this a slap in her face? Fortunately, she didn't say anything to Ning Xiwei.

If it's like this...

If she took the blame for Jiāng Zhiyu from the start, at most, she would go abroad for a few months and clarify after the recording of the program. And she could leave the main storyline?

[…Host, please put away your ridiculous thoughts]

Despite studying hard, the system still popped up to stop Gu Qi.

Wait.

Gu Qi's eyes were almost lit up.

Since Jiāng Zhiyu wasn't participating the next episode, would Jiāng Fengzhi still appear?

According to the original plot, Shen Anran will meet and fall in love with Jiāng Fengzhi as a flying guest in the next episode.

Shen Anran fell in love with Jiāng Fengzhi at first sight. This was because Jiāng Zhiyu used her old-fashioned bullying methods of splashing water on Shen Anran's chest, but was stopped by Jiāng Fengzhi. Jiāng Fengzhi apologized on behalf of his younger sister and the two had time to spend alone together.

In the fourth episode, Jiāng Zhiyu's temper became more and more uncontrollable. She began to be unrestrained in front of the camera.

If there was no 'catalyst' a.k.a Jiāng Zhiyu, what will become of Shen Anran's moment of heart skipping?

Gu Qi couldn't control her entangled mood now. After hesitating for a moment, she still clicks on the director's WeChat avatar.

[Director, will Jiāng Fengzhi and Jiāng Zhiyu come next episode? ]

The director was so busy that he was running in circles.

Who could have thought that after this wave of public opinion reversal and Gu Qi was completely in the clear. This all was due to the eldest daughter of Jiāng Family?

Despite all the chaos within the director-

He oddly felt delighted.

After all, ignoring the fact that the investor behind was Jiāng Family, the main point of the show was Gu Qi and her younger brothers. His selfishness was naturally leaned toward keeping Gu Qi when it came to choosing between the two.

As for investment...

Even if Jiāng Family withdraws investment, their production team was so popular now. It shouldn't be a big problem to find an ordinary investor to complete the recording.

After all, there were so many eyes watching over the public opinion. If their program suddenly had a 'miscarriage', it was obvious that it was Jiāng Family's doing. Jiāng Family wasn't stupid enough to do such a thing. They could have just let the program go cold and wouldn't announce that Jiāng Zhiyu would withdraw first.

So when seeing the message from Gu Qi, the director replied immediately.

[Teacher Gu, Teacher Jiāng Fengzhi hasn't said anything yet, but Jiāng Zhiyu probably won't be able to come for the time being]

Gu Qi replied with a thank you and didn't say anything else.

And her system finally finished learning at this time and appeared again.

[Report to the host, you are temporarily unable to query the entire plot due to insufficient authority. But I can tell you that this is a good thing, because only when the whole book gradually deviates from the setting will more 'secrets' that were covered up by the deviation of the original plot appear. ]

[Just like a coin, if it was controlled by the plot, then no matter how many hundreds or thousands of times it was thrown, it will definitely face up. Just like being bound to the plot, all the characters follow the prescribed path. Jiāng Zhiyu's departure from the variety show means that the main supporting role is deviating from the main line and the plot deviation occurs more and more. The next time the coin is thrown, it may face down. Congratulations, you are one step closer to your goal! ]

Gu Qi understood.

To put it more simply, the butterfly effect had been successfully produced. Therefore, the ending of the character may change.

The heart beat slightly faster as Gu Qi looked up at the scenery outside the window.

The sky was still bright.

The sky will not be dark forever, so everything was really changing.

Gu Qi's Weibo comments and private messages were no longer the endless abuse like yesterday. Instead it have become countless comforts and praises. Many people who misunderstood her before have come to apologize.

She never took these things to heart.

People who don't really know each other across the Internet could easily become accomplices incited by evil because of kindness and justice in their hearts.

Gu Qi didn't feel sad at all because of these.

Except——

Still having an expressionless face, she clicked on the live broadcast that Song Cheng did out of the blue when she was recording a variety show.

Judging by the public opinion back then, it was obvious that Song Cheng was paid to help Jiāng Zhiyu to establish her bullying personality.

Netizens were now starting to review the situation again. Some people have stood up to accuse Song Cheng for Gu Qi, lamenting that she was betrayed by the person who was theoretically closest to her.

While her company was laughable. They had sent her a 'contract renewal invitation'. Even the company's vice president specially made a call.

They weren't stupid. They originally thought that Gu Qi would be dead without a burial place for offending Eldest Miss Jiāng, but unforeseen, she could turn this adverse situation around.

Gu Qi's current popularity and traffic were beyond the reach of most popular youths! How could they bear to let go of such a sweet bun as Gu Qi!

And the conditions offered by Chenyang Entertainment were filled with 'temptation'.

As long as Gu Qi was willing to renew the contract, they will first change the content of the contract and give benefits matching with Chenyang Entertainment's highest level A-level artist. From then on, Gu Qi will have absolute say in her work and her share will increase. In addition, the company will provide her with three S+ female lead dramas, ensure that the male actors she cooperates with were popular, and arrange more professional managers and work teams. At the same time, Song Cheng will be fired.

Although Chenyang Entertainment had been in decline in recent years, it was one of the oldest agencies in the domestic entertainment industry. It still had resources and status. As long as they release a statement, ordinary people like Song Cheng will no longer have a foothold in the industry.

The most important thing in the entertainment industry was 'respect'. Anything that could be solved privately must not be brought to the surface. They were all insiders, so they should leave a way out for the future. Song Cheng had backstabbed the artist he made famous, how could any well-known artist or company dare to cooperate with him again? Since he was able to betray Gu Qi today, how could they not be afraid that they would be the next one?

Gu Qi understood, "That is to say, as long as I agree to renew the contract, you will take care of Song Cheng for me to relieve my hatred. Although I do hate him a little bit now, this method isn't good."

"Teacher Gu, you can't say that." The vice president knew how to put things nicely, "Of course, your thoughts is normal. After all, it was Song Cheng who took advantage of the situation first. We just want to help you vent your anger."

As long as Gu Qi chooses to accept it because she hates Song Cheng, no one could ruin his career more easily than Chenyang Entertainment.

Of course Gu Qi wouldn't agree. There was no need to sacrifice her life for revenge on others. This was the most stupid behavior.

But she knew that her company had never been a decent being. Since she still had to record the variety show safely, she didn't give a definite response, but just perfunctorily said, "I'll think about it."

The vice president nodded and bowed repeatedly. He didn't forget to care about Gu Qi and tell her have a good rest.

The phone was hung up. Gu Qi leaned back in the chair, staring at the boxing gloves behind the door in a trance.

This was the birthday gift Song Cheng gave her the year they met. That day was the first time she got the chance to play the third female role in a small web drama. It was a very happy day.

At that time, Song Cheng told her that she would inevitably suffer when she became a female star in the future and should practice more self-defense methods. Whether she could become popular depended on fate, but she had to protect herself as a prerequisite.

Song Cheng was nearly ten years older than Gu Qi. At that time, he and his girlfriend lived together in a small rental house. Gu Qi often went home with him to eat together. Both of them took care of her like a younger sister.

A chicken had two drumsticks.

One drumstick was given to Gu Qi at noon, and the other was kept for her in the evening.

Because Song Cheng's girlfriend had a younger sister around Gu Qi's age who died in a car accident and Gu Qi was extremely thin and malnourished when Song Cheng first found Gu Qi from the crew, the two of them always left the best for her.

At that time, Gu Qi had just left the Jiāng Family and had little contact with society.

Gu Qi felt fortunate countless times that she first met this couple who were kind-hearted. If not, she might have been deceived and led astray.

They gave her warmth and security, taught her the principles of socialising with others, and made Gu Qi have illusions more than once, that she could have the love of relatives...even favoritism.

Gu Qi was beautiful. This face with a little coldness and gorgeousness that wasn't vulgar could be said to have no substitute in the entire circle. Beauty was a double-edged sword in the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune. In the early days, some investors hinted that they would give resources if they got her to sleep with them.

At that time, Gu Qi didn't know anything. Although she resisted, she was still tricked into the dinner party. Song Cheng misunderstood and thought that Gu Qi was willing. He pulled her out of the suite and reprimanded her for wanting to be famous right at the door. If she could act, then act. If she couldn't make a name for herself, she could find an ordinary job. It wasn't like she couldn't survive. How could she get ahead by such means? Had she thought of her family?

When the two came to find her, they were so anxious that they didn't even change their slippers and pajamas. Song Cheng had even wanted to take off his slippers and beat her on the spot.

It was Song Cheng's girlfriend who protected Gu Qi in her arms and told him not to be anxious and to properly talk it out.

So from then on.

No matter what she faced, Gu Qi never bowed her head or bent her waist for anything.

She always remembered what Song Cheng taught her.

If there was work, then act. If she could stay in the entertainment industry, then stay. Worst case scenario, she quit the circle and find an ordinary job. It wasn't like she couldn't survive.

That's why she had the courage to reject the injustice and darkness she had faced and gave up some good resources for it. It was also why she was able to stand up and help when the director wanted to sexually harass an underage actress.

She obviously listened to Song Cheng.

But later.

After Gu Qi became famous, it was him who pointed at her nose and scolded her for pretending to be noble and expressed that it wouldn't hurt to drink a glass of wine with the director.

It wasn't her who changed.

It was him.

"...Gu Qi?"

A voice with a little surprise sounded. Ning Xiwei stood at the door without knowing when, holding a plate of freshly baked egg tarts and juice in her hands. For a moment, she didn't know whether to go in or out, as if she was at a loss because of the scene in front of her.

Seeing Gu Qi looking up at her, Ning Xiwei immediately explained awkwardly: "I knocked on the door for a long time just now, but you didn't respond. Worried that something might happen to you alone in here, I just pushed the door open and came in. Sorry."

Gu Qi shook her head. Her voice was very light and a little hoarse: "It's fine."

Ning Xiwei brought the food to Gu Qi and said: "Eat these first to fill your stomach. I saw that you didn't eat much of the takeaway earlier. I cook very quickly. Just wait a while."

After saying that, Ning Xiwei still looked at Gu Qi with some hesitation.

It seemed that after a mental struggle, she couldn't help but asked: "Did you just... cry?"

Ning Xiwei couldn't understand why Gu Qi would shed tears.

From her perspective, Gu Qi had always had a very stable mood. Except when facing Jiang Lechuan, she always gave people a sense of alienation. Her mood was always very calm. To put it more exaggeratedly, it seemed that she wasn't in touch with the world.

On the night when she was bullied by Jiāng Zhiyu and almost blackened by the whole network, Gu Qi clearly saw countless insulting comments on the Internet, but still comforted her as if nothing had happened.

Ning Xiwei really couldn't understand why Gu Qi didn't have any emotional fluctuations in the most difficult times, but a little depressed when things were over.

When Ning Xiwei asked this question, Gu Qi instinctively looked up at the mirror not far away because she found it odd.

Sure enough.

The face of herself in the mirror was a little too pale and her eyes were red. No wonder Ning Xiwei would be so confused.

Gu Qi herself was completely unaware of it.

"Maybe, I don't know." 

Gu Qi answered like this. Then she lowered her head, picked up a piece of egg tart, and took a bite. 

The filling was sweet, but not greasy. 

Different small ingredients were added to each egg tart, including fruit, taro paste, and Oreo. This showed the care that was put into it. 

It looked ordinary, but after swallowing it, it seemed that people's mood uplift because of the energy of sweets. 

Gu Qi even felt a little emotional, wondering if her family had a blood gene for making gourmet food. How could they make food so delicious. 

So Gu Qi praised: "Yummy, the most delicious egg tarts I have ever eaten."

This compliment obviously gave Ning Xiwei full confidence and affirmation. She responded: "My cooking is average, but Ye Zhiqing said that my desserts are better than Elder Sister's. In the future... you can try more in the future."

Reaching here, it turned into a whisper, as if it was the first time she truly and sincerely extended an olive branch of friendship to others and felt a little embarrassed.

After Ning Xiwei finished speaking, she didn't wait for Gu Qi's answer and hurried out with a sentence "The meat in the kitchen seems to have been marinated for too long, I have to deal with it quickly".

On the other side.

Jiāng Family.

As always, Jiāng Zhiyu was venting her anger, smashing almost everything she could in front of her. She looked up at Jiāng Fengzhi with fury and fumed: "When will he come back?"

This 'he' naturally referred to their father.

"On the way."

Even though the cup filled with hot tea was smashed by Jiāng Zhiyu at his feet, Jiāng Fengzhi still had no reaction and looked down at the contract in his hand without giving Younger Sister an extra look.

The servants all stood in the corner, trembling with fear.

After so many years, they were used to the eldest miss's temper. But it was the first time to see her this mad.

They all exhanged gaze with each other, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Finally, President Jiāng had returned.

The middle-aged man, wearing a suit, walked into the house with a serious face.

The assistant who had followed him for many years showed a trace of helplessness on his face and followed President Jiāng obediently.

"Dad!" As if wanting to grab her last straw, Jiāng Zhiyu staggered to latch onto her father's arm, saying: "Dad, Jiāng Fengzhi is joking, right? You can't possibly marry me to Gong Xuanan, right? Dad, I am your only daughter, I don't want to marry that scumbag..."

She became more and more agitated. Just as her outstretched hand touched her father's sleeve, it was flung away by the other party.

Jāng Zhiyu's father didn't even want to give this useless daughter a single glance and just coldly ordered the assistant behind him: "The meeting with Presisent Gong is scheduled for the afternoon. First prepare sufficient sincerity and then sign the contract along the way."

"Yes, President Jiāng." The assistant responded immediately.

Jiāng Zhiyu's father took two steps upstairs when Jiāng Zhiyu seemed unable to accept all this and chased after him again.

The man finally turned around in annoyance, "You still look down on Gong Xuanan? His reputation has been greatly ruined because of your stupid actions. Do you think the Gong Family is still willing to let you, a stupid daughter-in-law, marry in? As your father, I have to smile at them for a waste like you at this age. Why did I raise such a thing as you?"

If it was the Gong Family alone, he didn't have anything to fear. However, Jiāng Zhiyu's stupid words offended the Jiang Family at the same time. He, Jiāng Anguo, wasn't a stupid person. How could he develop in the future if he offended two big households engaged in real estate and construction development at the same time?

When he thought of this, his anger bubbled even more. He raised his hand and slapped Jiāng Zhiyu in the face: "You'd better learn a lesson this time, otherwise I will treat it like I have no daughter."

Jiāng Zhiyu was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, who had ever hit her?

This reversal of identity, which only took a few minutes to fall from heaven to hell, made Jiāng Zhiyu completely snapped. She roared: "If Mom knew, she will..."

Her shoulder was pushed down by her father and resulted in her falling to the ground and screaming.

Because there was no time to clean up the glass cup that she had smashed on the ground before, the dense glass shards were inserted into her knees.

Even her legs weren't spared. Blood continued to flow out after a few seconds. The pain made Jiāng Zhiyu instinctively want to get up. However, she failed to and it was aggravated again.

Her father just glanced at her indifferently, then walked upstairs and continued to discuss company matters.

Her elder brother stood in front of her, bent down, and handed her a small box of plaster.

The man who seemed the most gentle and elegant to outsiders no longer had a look of indifference and disgust on his face. Intead he smiled faintly, "Don't be afraid, there are plasters."

The four eyes met.

For some reason, Jiāng Zhiyu felt a little chill.

At this moment, the pain in her legs seem to disappear as it was suppressed by the fear in her heart.

She suddenly remembered the first time she bullied Gu Qi a little too much and was worried that she would be discovered and get into trouble in the future. In fact, she had the thought of ​​retreating and sending Gu Qi back to Jiang Family.

But at that time.

Jāng Fengzhi handed her the plaster in this way, showing the same expression as now, and said exactly the same words.

＊

Gu Qi finished eating the egg tart.

It really wasn't an exaggeration. It's delicious to the point that she didn't want to stop eating it.

She took two sips of the juice and was ready to go out to help wash the dishes, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Gu Qi opened the door.  

She was met with the red eyes of the boy.

Jiang Lechuan didn't say a word, just stood there looking at her, obviously staring and trying not to cry.

Of course, this 'act' didn't work.

Because Jiang Lechuan's voice sobbed as soon as he opened his mouth: "... You, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Why didn't she tell him anything?

For so many years, he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

He thought Elder Sister lived a good life in the Jiāng Family; wearing the most expensive princess dress, living in a super big room, and everything was happy.

But he heard the recording.

Jiāng Zhiyu's contemptuous attitude toward Elder Sister was a threat and a harm. There must be more things he didn't know.

For example, what secrets were hidden in the diary of the dead girl, such as 'she have it hard' and "we are in a similar situation at school".

Jiang Lechuan came to seek answers, but the moment he saw Gu Qi, his eyes reddened and he lost all that momentum.

Gu Qi responded with a complicated expression: "Don't cry."

Jiang Lechuan: "!"

His tears fell.

Elder Sister was still concerned about him at this time.

The next second, Gu Qi uttered: "...Take a deep breath! Hold it back! There is really no paper at home!!!"

Chapter 28

Zergs - a creature that made all the empires in the universe shudder!

This creature was naturally strong and could travel in the universe without any tools! They were crazy and bloodthirsty, brave and warlike, and they liked to devour all kinds of life forms and energy substances.

Wherever they passed, bones were everywhere and no grass grew.

Even energy ores and various precious minerals buried thousands or even tens of thousands of meters underground would be dug out and eaten by them!

Only a desolate planet full of debris was left and lingered on.

It would take more than ten years, or even hundreds of years, to fully recover.

More importantly, due to the strong reproductive capacity of the Zerg, a Zerg queen could give birth to thousands of Zerg warriors in a short period of time to fight for it. Meaning it was particularly difficult to deal with!

…

At the same time, there were other candidates like Fang Shaoyuan's group, who encountered Zerg…

Some people were chased by the Zerg and fled, some gritted their teeth and fought hard, and some immediately contacted the instructor, wanting to wait for rescue. However, when the call was made, there was no instructor to answer the call. There was only the busy tone in the intelligent brain, which made people despair…

The huge Zergs, like a tide, followed closely behind Fang Shaoyuan’s group. The long-legged green-winged insects flapped their wings constantly and waved their sickle-like forelimbs. They baring their teeth and claws. On their triangular heads, the big compound eyes fixed at Fang Shaoyuan's group. Their crazy and bloodthirsty appearance seemed to want to tear off two pieces of meat from Fang Shaoyuan's group!

"What should we do? The instructor's communicator can't be connected at all... With so many Zergs, what should we do now? Will they catch up with us?" Su Wanqiu laid on the back of the huge Gale Silver Wolf tightly, her body pressed tightly, her face paled, and her whole body trembled.

The combat power of a low-level Zerg was equivalent to that of a B-level beastman. While the intermediate Zerg spotted black beetle required at least an A-level beastman alone. If they had more people, it would be fine. However, they only have 4 people now, and the Zergs following behind them were more than dozens, or even hundreds!

Once surrounded, the only thing waiting for the four of them was death!

Su Wanqiu's heart was about to jump to her throat. She grabbed the Gale Silver Wolf's back hair tightly, fearing that the Gale Silver Wolf was too fast and would throw her off  and leaving no trace of her body.

"Something big must have happened in the exam this time, otherwise it would be impossible for high-level mutated beasts and Zergs to appear at the same time!" Su Wanqiu bit her lips tightly. Cold wind poured into her throat as her mind quickly thought of ways to help solve the problem... 

However, as a student of the pharmacy department, she had low combat effectiveness and didn't have any potions that could deal with Zerg. She had no way to help solve the Zerg or even affect the other party. 

When they were studying in school in the past, these students had only seen these crazy and terrifying creatures in textbooks and video materials and had never seen real Zerg. The unique stench of Zerg kept drilling into Su Wanqiu's nose, making her forehead sweat. 

"Sha sha sha-" The sound of the flapping wings and the sound of the striped black beetle crawling across the ground were like a terrifying death warrant. The scalp of the listener was numb as the sound gradually approached... 

The Gale Silver Wolf panted and quickly sprinted. The other two giant beasts beside him also gritted their teeth and accelerated. They must not let these Zerg catch up with them! ……

Ye Wenya's group were unable to transform into beast forms, so their speed was naturally slow.

Fortunately, the resting camp wasn’t too far from where the three of them were, otherwise they might not be able to reach the resting camp until tomorrow morning.

Along the way, the three of them were extremely silent and didn't say anything. Only the busy tone of Pan Mu's continuous dialing of the instructor's communication device echoed in the empty forest.

Since half of the medicinal materials on them had been refined and with the ones that were completely destroyed by the three-headed hellhound earlier, there was space for a cat. Ye Wenya put Xiao Hei in the backpack behind her and reached out to rub the soft little head of the black cat.

Two furry black paws climbed on Ye Wenya's shoulders. The black cat listened carefully to the various noises in the jungle with its ears erect. The jungle at night was full of dangers. Even when they had powerful potions to protect themselves, they had to be careful. 

"Sha sha sha..." 

In the dark forest, the rustling sound from a distance immediately made the black cat's ears move alertly. The black cat half got out of the backpack, raised his little head, and stared at the direction where the sound came from. His cat face was completely serious. 

"Awoo!..." The black cat howled. In the deep blue cat pupils, three figures jumped and ran quickly in the forest. They were charging toward them! At the same time, behind the three figures, there were also a series of black shadows chasing them at high speed.

Under the bright moonlight, the ferocious appearance of the green-winged insect flapping its wings and waving its forelimb sickle and the hard and shiny reflection of the black beetles instantly made the black cat scream.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!..." The agitated cat cry instantly startled Ye Wenya's group who were making their way.

The three of them hurriedly stopped and turned their heads to look in the direction of the black cat's warning.

The black figures fleeing from behind was very fast. In just a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters. The Zerg following behind was even more black and dense and made people shake with fear.

"It's Fang Shaoyuan, Cao Mo and the others!"

As classmates, they have been in contact for two years. Bai Xia and Pan Mu have naturally seen Fang Shaoyuan and Cao Mo in their beast forms. In addition, Su Wanqiu, who was lying on the back of the Gale Silver Wolf, made Bai Xia and Pan Mu recognize the identities of the other party in the first instance.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!..."

The black cat rushed out of Ye Wenya's backpack in a hurry, howling hard, and slapped Ye Wenya's shoulder with its tail with agitation. Was Fang Shaoyuan's group wwas he wanted to see? ! He wanted them to see what was following the four people!

Putting aside Ye Wenya, an ordinary person who couldn't transform into a beast, the two guys who could obviously transform into a beast and have a significantly improved visual effect. How come they not notice that the other four people were followed by a large group of Zerg swarms?!

Xiao Chen's expression was ugly and was quite anxious. His ears were subconsciously folded into an airplane shape. Xiao Chen had never expected that the Zergs who fought with him at that time would follow him through the wormhole to arrive here.

How could so many Zergs come to this planet with him? He clearly remembered that the entrance of the wormhole wasn’t big at that time!

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!..." The black cat howled loudly, slapping its claws hard, trying to let Ye Wenya's group notice the abnormality behind the four people on the opposite side and leave quickly.

However, only when Fang Shaoyuan's group ran over here did Bai Xia and Pan Mu soon discovered the Zergs following closely behind them!

"Hmm? Look what's following behind the four of them?"

"Zergs! It’s Zergs!"

"Green-winged insects and black beetles! ****, how can such things appear in the exam?!"

Bai Xia widened his eyes in panic, and almost couldn't help cursing immediately. He subconsciously looked at Ye Wenya, who was standing next to him with a cold face, and asked: "Classmate Ye, what should we do now?"

Pan Mu stood at the side, holding a laser sword and a particle gun in his hands. Although he didn't speak, he was also waiting for Ye Wenya's proposal.

After a whole day, Bai Xia and Pan Mu had already regarded Ye Wenya as their leader and waited for the other's orders.

Although the Zergs was called Zergs, their size wasn’t small at all. And their running speed was not inferior to that of hoofed beasts. Because of the characteristics of some Zerg, they could even fly and their speed was far faster than ordinary beasts. Bai Xia and Pan Mu couldn't transform into beasts. Even if they ran desperately, they couldn't beat the crazy and bloodthirsty Zerg behind them!

Ye Wenya's face was cold. Almost at the first sight of the Zerg, her mental power was affected by a special aura!

It was a dark aura that was very similar to the mutated beasts, but much stronger than the mutated beasts! She didn't expect that these Zergs were also dark-matter-corroded-bodies.

"Try this..."

Ye Wenya quickly took out a small brown potion from her backpack and handed it to Bai Xia. The brown powder swayed back and forth in the transparent potion bottle.

"This is insect repellent powder. Try it and see if it works..."

As an alternated world visitor who had never come into contact with the interstellar Zerg, she could only deal with it according to her imagination the first time.

"En!"

Bai Xia nodded and hurriedly sprinkled the powder on himself, Pan Mu, and Ye Wenya.  Bai Xia also carefully sprinkled some on the little black cat.

The brown powder had a pungent smell. Just after it was sprinkled, Fang Shaoyuan's group, who were originally a hundred meters away, and the small group of Zerg had already reached Ye Wenya's group.

Fang Shaoyuan's group had almost no hesitation. They just stared at them in astonishment, wondering why they didn't run away at all. Then they jumped away from Ye Wenya and fled desperately toward the camp.

The green-winged insects following closely behind the four people, waving their huge sickles on their forelimbs, found a new target at the same time.

The flesh and blood of the beastmen contained a lot of energy, which was one of the favorite foods of the Zerg.

They waved their forelimbs, flicked their tentacles, and approached Ye Wenya's group.

But just as these Zergs were about to approach Ye Wenya’s trio and one beast, a huge unpleasant smell suddenly rushed into the Zerg's olfactory organs, making them feel uncomfortable all over. They felt a dizziness suddenly rushing up, causing them to instinctively bypass the trio and chase the four people in front again.

"Sha, sha, sha..."

Several black beetles waved their front legs unwillingly, trying to devour the prey in front of them, but the unpleasant smell always made them unwilling to approach. So they could only circle around two meters away from the trio with anger and unwilling roars.

Bai Xia quietly opened his eyes that were closed due to shock and saw this rather funny scene in front of him. He was relieved and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Ye Wenya looked serious, raised her hand, and quickly took out the high-level explosive fire potion that had just been used to deal with the level 7 mutated beast from her backpack.

"Boom boom boom——"

The blazing flames instantly jumped up high. Ye Wenya directly sprinkled the potion on a nearby black beetle.

"Sizzle!——"

The black beetle was sizzling in the flames, struggling and kicking its legs, as it screamed in pain. It even bumped into an ancient pine tree next to it. Bai Xia, who was standing next to it, was delighted, but Ye Wenya frowned tightly. This black beetle was alive and kicking after burning for such a long time. This was too incredible!

3RYB 29.2

In the same class with her, there was another girl whose family was in the luxury goods business.

But that girl went abroad after graduating from high school. Her whole family immigrated together. After two years abroad, her family went bankrupt and became a laughing stock in their circle.

She worshipped foreign things and her family lost everything by doing business with hypocritical foreigners.

Jiāng Zhiyu immediately clicked on the girl's contact information.

[Ten million, admit to everyone that you were the mastermind behind the bullying in high school. At that time you weren't sensible and many things were planned by Gu Qi]

Afraid that she wouldn't see it, Jiāng Zhiyu also sent a message to her subordinates get them to contact the girl's parents immediately.

Jiāng Zhiyu took out her mobile phone and posted on Weibo again.

Jiāng Zhiyu (V): @Gu Qi (V) @Ning Xiwei (V), I don't know how I offended you. I won't take this kind of dirty water.

As soon as Jiāng Zhiyu posted this Weibo, it was a direct equivalent to her joining the battlefield.

[Damn, Elder Sis is so tough! ]

[Elder Sis is so handsome! ]

[I support! Whoever advocates is whoever provide evidence! ]

The netizens in the comment area were all shocked. Some doubted and some believed, but most were waiting for both sides to provide more evidence.

The comments in the live broadcast room were all saying that Jiāng Zhiyu had already posted a Weibo response. Gu Qi saw it.

Ning Xiwei turned to Gu Qi, obviously waiting for her 'command'.

Gu Qi shook her head at her.

No need to rush.

She suddenly understood how Jiāng Zhiyu felt when she treated her. Seeing others struggling in the face of difficulties and thinking that they could escape with a little effort, it was really pitiful and ridiculous.

It was a feeling of controlling the life and death of others.

It was like God, but extremely cruel. 

Gu Qi didn't name Jiāng Zhiyu in the live broadcast room, but only responded to some questions about herself that seemed to have nothing to do with this live broadcast.

"Does my expression stinks? I have always known this problem and have actually put in effort to practiced. However, I think it was more scary when I smile."

"Friends from high school? I didn't have many friends at that time. She said I was her friend... But even if I want to help her, I am hurting her. I don't know if it counts."

Gu Qi responded in a disjointed manner, and even took the time to order a takeaway on her phone.

Ning Xiwei held the roujiamo that Gu Qi handed to her. At this moment, it didn't feel right to either eat or not eat.

Wait.

Wasn't this a very serious and solemn live broadcast? Why did they suddenly start eating lunch? What was Gu Qi doing?

Ning Xiwei was about to ask Gu Qi, but suddenly she remembered the homemade sandwich Meng Yu had brought her when she ran away from home in a tantrum.

"No matter what happens, you have to fill your stomach to have the strength to face it."

So Ning Xiwei took a big bite of Roujiamo.

She hadn't had a mouthful of food or even water since last night. The feeling of having food in her stomach made her feel much more comfortable.

Ning Xiwei didn't say anything.

Anyway... she believed in Gu Qi.

Gu Qi was waiting.

Sure enough, with the strength of Jiāng Family, public opinion reversed again in less than half an hour.

A girl who used to be in the same class with them stepped forward and admitted that she had led the school bullying. She had been very regretful about the wrong things she had done over the years and hoped not to hurt innocent people again.

The words were all to excuse Jiāng Zhiyu and hinted that Gu Qi was involved in those school bullying 'activities' back then.

Gu Qi had some recollection of this girl.

She was one of the few people in the group who could be 'on par' with Jiāng Zhiyu. Although her family background was slightly inferior, it was enough for her to ignore Jiāng Zhiyu's face.

But although the girl's personality wasn't very good, she was just cold and arrogant. Not to mention bullying classmates, she didn't even talk to people.

It was exactly the same as Gu Qi guessed.

Jiāng Zhiyu would choose her to take the blame.

Some people believed it.

[This girl's family background was very powerful. If she is called the Queen, it seems reasonable]

[My good friend was this girl's college classmate. I heard that she has a really bad personality.]

Naturally, some people questioned it.

[How long had it been? If it wasn't agreed, how could she come out to take the blame so quickly?]

[People who have been bullies on campus for so many years suddenly have a conscience awakening?]

Jiāng Zhiyu's goal wasn't to make everyone believe her.

As long as someone comes out to take the blame, public opinion will not be able to sentence her to 'death' and she will be able to turn the tables sooner or later.

Gu Qi finally waited for the arrival of Jiāng Zhiyu's clarification. She lazily drawled out: "This process is a bit familiar."

A sentence that obviously had a deep meaning behind it had aroused the interest of countless netizens.

[I can see that today is a chain of events. I won't leave until the end!]

[Jiāng Zhiyu has already made a big move. Please start your counterattack, Gu Qi! ]

Gu Qi was originally leaning back in her chair. At this moment, she sat up straight and pulled out her phone, saying, "I have a recording here, which was recorded with the permission. You can all listen to it together."

After that, Gu Qi pressed the play button in the live broadcast room.

"No matter whether you are Gu Qi or Jiang Qi, you will still be the same as before. You have to listen to me obediently to survive."

"How dare you say such a things Aren't you afraid of me recording it?"

"It's up to you. If you want to record, record it. I don't care."

...

"You don't know yet. There is evidence of your parents embezzling public funds in my safe."

...

"As long as you admit that you did orchestrated the school bullying, are willing to apologize and repent for this matter, and decide to quit the entertainment industry, I can assure you that nothing will happen."

"So prepare your retirement declaration. Remember, the more satisfied I am with your performance, the safer your parents will be for the rest of their lives."

...

When this recording was released, everyone could tell that the arrogant female voice in it was none other than Jiāng Zhiyu. 

Gu Qi closed her phone, stared into the camera indifferently, and seemed to be asking in confusion: "Do you hold a weakness over the girl who came out to apologize and admitted to bullying?"

[Damn? The voice that just spoke was Jiāng Zhiyu.]

[This recording starts a fire within me. Wait Jiāng Zhiyu, are you you mental? It's the 21st century now. Where does your superiority come from? What do you mean by can only survive by listening to you? So it's not against the law it's you who kill people, right?]

[Jiāng Zhiyu is truly arrogant. She's been threatening Gu Qi all the time? Don't even mention Meng Yu. Her attitude toward Gu Qi is clearly bullying, okay?]

[So this live broadcast originally started because Jiāng Zhiyu threatened Gu Qi to apologize and take the blame? But you didn't expect Gu Qi to confront her head-on, right?]

[Damn, what kind of cool novel start is this? Jiāng Zhiyu must be regretting it now]

[Gu Qi, you are so nice. You even told Jiāng Zhiyu about the recording. But Eldest Miss Jiāng was too confident and didn't believe it at all. Haha]

[It's not confidence, but arrogance. How can someone who had been arrogant for so many years take others seriously? Anyway, no matter what happens, her family will settle it for her]

[Gu Qi is a rich family's eldest miss too. Jiāng Zhiyu treats her like an ant. How can ordinary people survive in front of her?]

It was all thanks to this recording.

Jāng Zhiyu threatened Gu Qi to shoulder the school bullying blame, so now no one could believe that the girl who responded was telling the truth. It was obvious that this was just the second 'Gu Qi' who was pushed out.

Just as Gu Qi said. If Jiāng Zhiyu could threaten her, she could threaten others.

After Jiāng Zhiyu heard the recording of her and Gu Qi being played in the live broadcast room, panic set in and she realized that the development of the matter was beyond her expectations.

What happened?

How could this happen!

Was Gu Qi crazy?

She thought Gu Qi was casually brought it up that day, but she didn't expect that she would dare to record it and make it public?

At this moment, Gu Qi responded to Jiāng Zhiyu's doubts about her parents: "I don't know what my parents have done. Those who with ability can investigate, or let Eldest Miss Jiāng hand over the evidence to the police station. 

My parents taught me and Younger Brother how to behave since we were young. I firmly believe that they will never do such things. Of course, if it is true, I will work with the law and the public to urge them to bravely take responsibility for their mistakes and make timely corrections." 

Gu Qi said this very beautifully. 

She seemed to stand firmly on the side of her parents. Because of trust, she had no real fear at all. The 'conversation' with Jiāng Zhiyu was just a set of words that went with the motion. 

At this second, Jiāng Zhiyu felt like she was in an ice cellar. Because Gu Qi knew very well what kind of people were her parents. Since she dared to say such things, she really didn't care about her parents' life or death. 

Then, from the beginning, her thought that she could use Gu Qi's parents to threaten Gu Qi was the stupidiest thing possible.

Was the whole picture quite clear now?

All this was a trap set by Gu Qi.

Jiāng Zhiyu let out a crazy laugh as her eyes gradually became red.

She was unwilling to accept that she was schemed by Gu Qi like this. Absolutely couldn't let it end like this.

Although Gu Qi didn't care about her parents, Jiang Lechuan would care.

In this case, she would send Gu Qi's parents to prison. She didn't believe that Jiang Lechuan wouldn't have no grudges against his elder sister!

If Gu Qi really dared to do this to her, then both sides could die together!

Paying no heed to her shaking hands, Jiāng Zhiyu picked up the phone and called her father in a panic.

It was the secretary who answered the phone.

"Eldest Miss, President Jiāng is in a meeting. I will convey it for you."

"Get lost!" Jiāng Zhiyu roared. Her voice trembled: "Get my father answer the phone. Immediately, otherwise I will die for you to see now!"

How could the secretary dare to bear the consequences of any mishap to the eldest miss? So she bit the bullet and went to find President Jiāng.

Soon the phone was connected again.

Jāng Zhiyu's father impatiently uttered: "What's the matter now?"

"Dad... Dad!"

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Jiāng Zhiyu gushed out: "I want Jiang Yuenian and his wife to die. Can you expose the evidence of their embezzlement of public funds? Send them to jail..."

Jiāng Zhiyu was sobbing when she reached this point. She was unwilling to accept being fooled by Gu Qi like this. She must make the Jiang Family pay the price.

"Jiāng Zhiyu, you aren't a child anymore. Why are you still saying such things." Father's voice became more and more indifferent and impatient: "I already know about the hot search. I will get your elder brother to properly discipline you."

"Dad!"

Jiāng Zhiyu couldn't believe it. Agitated, she asked : "What do you mean? Don't you care about me?"

"Didn't you say it very clearly? Anyway, if something happens, I can send you abroad to avoid the limelight. At most, you will never come back to this country in this life." 

Jiāng Zhiyu's father had ran out of patience and scolded: "We already settled the matter for you back then, but fearing that people don't know it was you who did it, you stupidly dug it up again. And is Jiang Family's embezzlemnt something you can use to threat?

Fool, I have been too indulgent when raising you. I don't have a daughter like you who only make messes."

The phone was hung up at once.

Jiāng Zhiyu stared at her phone in disbelief, doubting everything she had just heard.

Father scolded her?

Over the years, her father had given her whatever she wanted. No matter how big a mess she made, her family would handle it. Why would he scold her for such a small matter?

To vent her anger, Jiāng Zhiyu hurled her phone at the screen in front of her. She wanted to smash everything in the room.

She pushed the instrument worth hundreds of thousands to the ground before picking up a chair and smashing it hard to vent her anger.

At this moment.

The door of the beauty salon was opened.

Jāng Fengzhi stood at the door, watching Jiāng Zhiyu with indifference.

He didn't come to comfort her, but instead asked with a little sarcasm:  "What are you doing now?"

Since Jiāng Fengzhi sent hinmself to the door now, Jiāng Zhiyu naturally directed all her fury on him. While she was still sitting on the ground, she desperately reached out and flung the only two bottles of skin care products left on the table at Jiāng Fengzhi.

Jiāng Fengzhi didn't dodge. He frowned at her with some disgust: "Your hysterical behaviour doesn't look like a heiress, but like a country woman.

Sometimes when I can't sleep, I wonder how someone like you can be my younger sister."

Jāng Zhiyu staggered to her feet, "Jiāng Fengzhi, what's wrong? Are you all crazy?"

"It's not us who are crazy, it's you who is crazy."

Jiāng Fengzhi raised his wrist to check the time and couldn't be bothered to say anything more to her, just left with: "Go home. Father will be back in an hour and discuss how to take responsibility for your stupid actions that affect the cooperation between the company and the Gong Family."

＃Jiāng Zhiyu 'Queen'＃

＃Jiāng Zhiyu School Bullying＃

＃Gu Qi & Jiāng Zhiyu recording #

…

A series of hot searches were on the list. Netizens were all shocked by the reversal of this incident.

The bully they thought was actually the one who helped the victim, and there was a hidden story behind even the 'iron evidence' like pictures and videos.

Meng Yu's diary was carefully analyzed page by page by netizens.

They realized that the direct cause of Meng Yu's bullying was Jiāng Zhiyu, but the fuse was the pursuer named 'Eleven Five Six'.

Some classmates of that class said that they had heard that Meng Yu failed to pursue Gong Xuanan and it came from Gong Xuanan.

After a series of detailed reviews, netizens could basically confirm that this 'Eleven Five Six' was Gong Xuanan.

Jiāng Zhiyu specially invited Gong Xuanan to participate in the recording of the program. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was good. What else could this be if not collusion?

The online quarrel was heated. Everyone was blaming Jiāng Zhiyu and Gong Xuanan and the public opinion was completely reversed.

In the afternoon.

Jiāng Zhiyu's Weibo published a very official apology statement. One could tell at first glance it wasn't from her.

The implication was that when she was young, she wasn't sensible and did some things that crossed the line when playing with friends. Due to being too afraid to face it, she excsped from it. Now she had come to her senses and decided to make a good change. She was donating all her income from self-media and entertainment last year to the Hope Project, and hoped that from now on, netizens can supervise her actions together.

[Wait, let me go over this timeline. The first person to be pushed to the forefront was Gu Qi, but because Ning Xiwei and Meng Yu were good friends, it was enough to prove that Gu Qi was the one who helped Meng Yu and not the one who bullied her in school. Seeing that pushing Gu Qi out to cover up the crime failed, Jiāng Zhiyu found another girl that had gone abroad to take the blame for her again, but it still failed. Now she finally stopped being stubborn and admitted it? ]

[Since it had come to this point, she can't not admit it. The attitude in the recording was truly nasty.]

[What do you mean by supervising her in the future? No, Sister, do we still have to see her in the entertainment industry in the future? Not getting banned? ]

[There is evidence but it isn't enough. Everyone know but no one can do anything to her now. After all, Meng Yu committed suicide. Our Eldest Miss Jiāng is innocent. She just lost her sense of propriety when playing around.]

[Let’s not talk about the fact that it doesn't meet the national ban standard. Even if it does, who can do anything to Eldest Miss Jiāng? ! Everyone know that our Eldest Miss Jiāng is the Queen. Those who do not listen to Eldest Miss Jiāng will have no way to survive!]

[Children of capital are like this. Anyway, the Internet had no memory. It's possible that she will be whitewashed after a period of time.]

[What variety shows and dramas does the Queen shoot? Are ordinary people like us worthy of watching them? Hehe]

[Boycott Jiāng Zhiyu! Bully Sister, get out of the entertainment industry!]

[@Troublesome Siblings, I will not watch your show if there is Jiāng Zhiyu in the next episode! ]

...

Scolds were already aimed at Jiāng Zhiyu everywhere online. Jiāng Zhiyu's dream of stardom clearly met its end.

Jiāng Zhiyu's initially small amount of fans couldn't verbally win against the other side nor did the have any stance to protect Jiāng Zhiyu. The passerby good impression had completely hit rock bottom.

Gu Qi was leaning against the sofa. Though her eyes were opened, she seemed to be somewhere else.

Ning Xiwei washed her face and came out. Seeing Gu Qi so out of it, she asked in perplexion. "What's wrong?"

What was with Gu qi's expression?

They had won. Jiāng Zhiyu stepped out to apologiezed and admitted the bullying back then. She should be overjoyed and celebrating.

"Nothing, I just feel a little weird." Gu Qi propped her chin with one hand, "That video hasn't been used yet."

The video before Meng Yu's death was the first time she changed 'Queen' to 'Jiāng Zhiyu' in the video.

Having already decided to choose death, there was no need to be afraid of anything.

Gu Qi was prepared for Jiāng Zhiyu and Jiāng Family to deny it in other ways, and planned to release the video at the end as the final evidence that Jiāng Zhiyu could no longer refute, but——

It all ended just like that.

Ning Xiwei became nervous and realized: "Is there a hidden trick?"

She immediately straightened her chest, "It doesn't matter. No matter what happens, I... I will protect you." 

Since Gu Qi had protected Meng Yu.

Then she will protect Gu Qi.

"Don't panic . That's not the case." Gu Qi yawned, "She had already admitted and apologized. What else can she do. I just think that Jiāng Zhiyu may not be have 'support' I assumed she had."

Jiāng Family actually gave up on her so easily.

And the real person in charge of Jiāng Family was already Jiāng Fengzhi.

Could it it because in their opinion, they don't want their daughter to enter the entertainment industry and it was better to be a vase marriage tool? Taking this opportunity, they let Jiāng Zhiyu's dream of entering the entertainment industry shatter.

This logic made sense.

But in the original plot, Jiāng Zhiyu was sent to a mental hospital. Even with the pressure of the male and female lead halo, the process seemed too sloppy.

Gu Qi vaguely realized that Jiāng Zhiyu's status in Jiāng Family didn't seem to be as high as she had always thought, and even...

Gu Qi had a bold guess in her heart.

She called out to her system in her heart and asked: "System, Jiāng Fengzhi and Jiāng Zhiyu, are they... standing on opposite sides?"
