The host was the first to react. She forced a professional smile but failed to completely hide her nervousness and her wording was not appropriate: "Hello, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"
She looked at the man in front of her who had an ordinary appearance but an extremely cold aura, and then looked at Jiang Yunyue who had a very bad expression on his face.
What is going on
Many people on Starnet have the same doubts as her.
"—??? Isn't Jiang Yunyue the wife of the Qi family? Even though she has an illegitimate child and is a mistress, how did she get involved with the rebels?"
"—Military Intelligence Division? They actually dispatched the Military Intelligence Division! This agency is directly under the military and has always been half-hidden in the shadows. This time, Jiang Yunyue showed up! Even though it was a fake face..."
"—Take this into account! Jiang Yunyue said that Qi Yan was suspected of killing her biological father for money, but Qi Yan clarified that she had plenty of money! Qi Wenshao was a well-known man, but he died in an unclear manner, and the Leto police have not said a word until now. Why? The reason is that someone from the military intelligence department came! If Jiang Yunyue colluded with the rebels and killed her husband—this is beyond the authority of the Leto police!"
Jiang Yunyue was very nervous. To be exact, she felt a kind of panic caused by the unclear situation and loss of control. All the muscles in her body became tense at this moment. She kept comforting herself that those people who sought cooperation with her were so powerful. Those who scolded and ridiculed her in person all died "in accidents" and no one suspected her.
The person who gave her the "river alkali" also assured her that this toxin was precious and hidden, and few people in Leto could recognize it. Moreover, after a person died, the forensic doctor would not be able to find out the specific cause of death.
Everything is seamless, without any flaws!
Jiang Qi is in prison, and Qi Wenshao is already dead no matter how unwilling he is. As long as Qi Yan disappears, all the Qi family's assets will be in her hands. How can there be any twists and turns
Jiang Yunyue had a heavy nasal voice because she cried too much. She looked at the visitor with a puzzled look: "This... sir, when you said collusion with the rebels, are you referring to me?" She showed the panic of a normal person who was misunderstood, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
She seemed to have suddenly thought of a possibility, and suddenly murmured: "Jiang Qi, Wen Shao - is it my turn now?"
Vincent watched her performance coldly, thinking that this person had a pretty good mental quality. Even at this time, she was still thinking of putting the blame on Qi Yan.
Since his commander asked him to perform well, Vincent didn't mind prolonging the arrest process a little.
He said what he thought: "You mean, you are innocent. You would never do such a thing as colluding with the rebels. Someone framed you, and the person who framed you is Qi Yan?"
Jiang Yunyue quickly shook her head: "That's not what I meant!"
"No?" Vincent tugged at his sleeves. "So you suspect that the Military Intelligence Division has no solid evidence and is arresting people at random? Or, do you suspect that I am derelict in my duty?"
Jiang Yunyue felt secretly resentful.
It's not like she had never met military and political personnel before. Because of her title as the wife of the Qi family, even if a few people were cold to her, she would still maintain social courtesy. She would not be as aggressive as the man in front of her.
Once again, she felt the frustration of having no power.
At this time, Jiang Yunyue was estimating how much of his affairs had been discovered.
Is it just a suspicion? Or do you have evidence? How much evidence do you have? Is it possible to clear the suspicion
She thought about it and replied, "Of course not, you misunderstood."
"It's a misunderstanding, but in order to clear my suspicion of dereliction of duty," Vincent began to narrate in chronological order without warning, "You were sentenced to prison for academic fraud, and the woman living in the room next to you is a woman named Flynn. You should know Flynn's other identity - a spy placed in Leto by the rebels."
Jiang Yunyue flatly denied: "What are you talking about? I don't know at all!"
"No, of course you know." Vincent continued, "After you were released from prison, you contacted Flynn and were willing to cooperate with her.
The first thing after the cooperation was that Qi Wenshao's lover Luo Fina was disfigured by an accident.
The second thing is that seven people, including Eve Henderson and Ari Lamas, died in accidents one after another because they disagreed with you or said bad things about you. Four of them were caused by the invasion of the hovercraft driving system, and three were man-made "accidents".
The third thing is that you spent 100,000 star coins to buy two grams of a neurotoxin called "river alkali" from Flynn and used it on Qi Wenshao. This toxin was only circulated within the rebel army and was quite precious. It was called a "God-given" toxin.
Of course, there is a fourth thing. The rebels have hidden a spy in the Leto police station and are ready to take action when you send Qi Yan in. They will definitely kill Qi Yan within 24 hours. But sorry, we have already killed this spy overnight. "
Vincent smiled modestly. "We have only found these as the time is short. Does Ms. Jiang Yunyue have anything else to add?"
After Vincent finished speaking, the hosts present were so shocked that they were speechless. Although the audience on Starnet had become accustomed to the daily flow of information with mixed content, the content in Vincent's words was really too rich.
“—??? The amount of information is too much… It’s really too much!!”
"—In summary, the series of accidents that happened in the Leto rich circle some time ago were basically caused by her. She bought the neurotoxin and poisoned her husband herself. The ultimate purpose of this interview is to get rid of Qi Yan? I apologize for my stupidity a second ago. I actually felt sorry for her!"
“—I feel sorry for Qiyan, being framed by such a person and being scolded by a stranger for a long time!”
"—Ms. Jiang Yunyue not only has excellent methods for getting to the top, but also excels at crying wolf and confusing right and wrong! When I first started watching this show, I never thought it would be so exciting later!"
When the man said the name Eve Henderson, Jiang Yunyue froze. That was the first person she had killed with the help of the rebels.
The power to make those who dislike her and like to mock her disappear from this world and to arbitrarily decide a person's life or death is addictive.
Moreover, she didn't need to do anything herself, she just had to express her thoughts, and the next day she would get the news that the person was dead.
No guilt involved.
Jiang Yunyue's voice was tense: "You... have no evidence."
Vincent: "Sorry, we not only have evidence, but we have very, very sufficient evidence."
After Lu Fenghan reminded him that there was something wrong with Jiang Yunyue, he hardly slept the whole night. If he couldn't find enough evidence even then, he wouldn't have to say that he graduated from the First Military Academy.
Jiang Yunyue's face turned pale, but she still tried to deny it: "I don't believe it!"
Vincent was patient: "So?"
The implication is, if you don’t believe it, so what
"You can't arrest me... It's not me, I didn't do it," Jiang Yunyue's eyes widened, her lips trembling, her hands grasping her collar, "It's not me... I don't want to die, I can't die!"
Vincent's expression suddenly turned cold: "Why don't you ask those who died because of you whether they want to die."
Feeling that it was almost done, Vincent raised his finger and ordered his subordinates: "Go and take the people back, hand in the tasks and go off work."
The subordinate who accompanied him on the mission was taciturn but very active. He was able to accurately handcuff Jiang Yunyue even though she struggled without caring about her image.
Vincent didn't care about the external image of the military intelligence department. He said to a small filming robot floating in the air: "Today's Rule of Law Online program ends here. If you want to know the follow-up, you can check out the Leto Daily or Star Network. As for those who have connections with the rebels, please be careful."
Before leaving, he said to the bewildered host: "I'm sorry to bother you while you're recording the show."
The host was stunned for two seconds before quickly responding: "No, no, thank you! We didn't expect Jiang and Jiang Yunyue to do these things, and... the ratings and attention of this show should be very, very high."
Indeed, as the host said, the ratings of this interview increased in waves, and after the people from the military intelligence department showed up, the growth was explosive.
No matter which era, this type of department has attracted the curiosity of countless people. This time, the confrontation and arrest took place in front of the camera. For a while, "Telling You the Past and Present of the Military Intelligence Department" and "The Use of Virtual Faces" were all over the Internet.
Lu Fenghan, who was on the eleventh floor of the ISCO underground, received a message from Vincent: "Mission successfully completed!"
Lu Fenghan replied with a "hmm", which was obviously perfunctory.
While Qi Yan was debugging "Po Jun", he distractedly asked Lu Fenghan: "Do you want to thank Vincent?"
"Why thank him? This time, with Jiang Yunyue as the center, a series of cases have been uncovered, and the harvest is quite rich. If they calculate the salary based on performance, he should be able to get rid of poverty and become rich this month."
Lu Fenghan stood behind Qi Yan, lowering his eyes to watch his fingertips rapidly tapping characters, "We provided him with clues, he should be thanking us."
Qi Yan was not good at dealing with people. Since Lu Fenghan said so, he stopped worrying and continued to discuss with Lu Fenghan: "Jiang Yunyue lacks rigor. When she designed the trap, she did not take into account the existence of unstable factors."
Lu Fenghan discovered that, just like what Ye Pei said, many problems became clear and understandable after being transformed into academic questions by Qi Yan.
"The unstable factors are 'River Alkali' and you. Jiang Yunyue's assumption was that no one could recognize this toxin, but you not only recognized the river alkali through the blue spots in Qi Wenshao's pupils, but also knew that the river alkali came from the rebels. This is the consequence of not controlling the unstable factors during the early design."
Qi Yan said, “When I was six years old and doing experiments, I already remembered to control unstable factors.”
“Very impressive,” Lu Fenghan pinched Qi Yan’s earlobe and praised without hesitation.
Qi Yan stayed in the ISCO equipment room for three whole days. During this time, he seemed to be tireless and his mind was focused on Po Jun. Lu Fenghan had to calculate the time to let Qi Yan move around, drink water, eat something, or take a nap.
Only after going through this with Qi Yan did he understand firsthand why Professor Fu always emphasized to his students that scientific research is, most of the time, monotonous, repetitive, boring and lonely.
On the third night, Qi Yan turned off the "Galaxy" and stared at the light modulator in the glass room that was gradually extinguished. He slowly lay on Lu Fenghan's thighs and spoke after a while: "The follow-up debugging is completed, and the data core of "Pojun" will be extracted later."
"Is that the end?"
"Yeah," Qi Yan said in a low voice, as if all his energy had been used up in the intense work of the previous three days. "It has taken three months from the beginning of October to now. It's a little faster than I expected, but I've caught up."
His voice became lower and lower as he spoke, but Lu Fenghan still heard the last three words clearly.
Caught up
What on earth did you catch up with
In the time it took to finish two sentences, Qi Yan fell into a deep sleep. Lu Fenghan turned off the lights in the equipment room with a command, and the sound of the "Galaxy" running had disappeared. In the entire equipment room, only a few faint lights flickered in the glass room.
Lu Fenghan guessed that the entire equipment room was made of sound-proof materials, which meant that no sound from outside could get in, making it extremely quiet.
It was a bit like the explosion after the great rout, when he floated in the space with the tattered and falling apart escape pod. All he could see were a few stars whose distances were unknown.
Whenever this happens, people will subconsciously calm down and think about many things that they rarely think about in normal days.
When his life was hanging by a thread, Lu Fenghan thought that he must not die. If he died, he would be sorry for his brothers who sacrificed their lives and for this extremely slim chance of escaping death.
As for this time.
Lu Fenghan had to admit that, back and forth, he thought of the person who was resting his head on his legs.
Qi Yan once said that he was half contraband.
The same is true for him.
They sat like this motionless for an hour. Only after making sure that Qi Yan was soundly asleep and would not wake up did Lu Fenghan carefully pick him up.
He felt a tugging sensation at the corner of his clothes, and Lu Fenghan helplessly discovered that the man was still holding the corner of his clothes even though he had fallen asleep.
Carefully loosening his fingers, Lu Fenghan carried the person to the folding bed in the corner.
Qi Yan had a deep sleep and was a little dazed when he was woken up by his personal terminal. He blinked and saw the flickering light in the glass room. He sat up and looked in one direction almost entirely by feeling.
A few seconds later, the lights came on, his eyes were stung by the light, and Lu Fenghan was reflected in his eyes.
"Did you sleep stupidly?" Lu Fenghan waved his hand in front of Qi Yan's eyes.
Qi Yan was a little slow to respond: "No."
Hearing his hoarse voice, Lu Fenghan handed the water over to him. Seeing that Qi Yan was stunned and didn't take it, he simply took over the job of feeding water.
After coming to his senses, Qi Yan opened his personal terminal.
Lu Fenghan put down the cup and said, "Who is looking for you so urgently?"
Qi Yan showed the content of the message to Lu Fenghan: "Several people asked me to deal with the Qi family's assets as soon as possible."
Lu Fenghan also remembered that Qi Wenshao was gone, Jiang Yunyue was arrested, and Jiang Qi was still in prison. The only one who was qualified to handle the Qi family's property was Qi Yan.
Qi Yan also realized this: "What a trouble."
He leaned against Lu Fenghan, clearly showing an evasive attitude.
Lu Fenghan lowered his head and could only see the top of Qi Yan's head. He said in an indulgent tone, "Don't act like a spoiled child all the time."
After Qi Yan came out of ISCO, she looked through the news of the past two or three days and found that Jiang Yunyue confessed everything soon after she was taken away, and also confessed a lot of details, including what Flynn said to her in prison, how she got in touch with him after being released from prison, and the details of the murder of Qi Wenshao.
Due to the high public attention, some evidence and confessions were made public.
Now, Jiang Yunyue is in the judicial process, and the final verdict is nothing more than the death penalty, the only difference is the method of execution.
At this time, countless people were wondering how Qi Yan would deal with the Qi family's assets.
Xia Zhiyang also asked this question, but the answer he got was "I don't know."
"I also think that this whole thing happened too suddenly. Do you want to find a professional manager to stabilize the situation?" Xia Zhiyang offered advice. "Do you have a general direction or rough idea now?"
"Yes," Qi Yan said without further thought, "I don't want any of the Qi family's... As for how to deal with them, I want to take some of the star coins and set up a foundation."
Xia Zhiyang thought there was no problem. "If you don't want to get involved, just sign a few agreements and let the Qi family's industries connect directly with the foundation. There are many cases of foundations operating independently, and the alliance has a ready-made model for reference. What do you want the foundation to do? Scientific research and academics?"
Qi Yan: "No, I want to set up a pension first."
Hearing this, Lu Fenghan looked at Qi Yan.
Xia Zhiyang understood quickly: "Is it for the pensions for the families of soldiers who died on the front line? No problem, if you have an idea, just hand it over to professional managers and foundations. The alliance's supervision mechanism is quite complete, and there won't be many troubles."
Qi Yan spoke again: "Can you recommend a professional manager to me?"
Xia Zhiyang was stunned for a while: "You trust me so much? Oh my god, just wait! I'll help you find someone! I'll definitely find you someone super reliable!"
After the call was hastily hung up, Lu Fenghan asked casually: "Why did you think of setting up a pension?"
The reason for the prayer was simple, "There are too many wars. We have suffered two major defeats on the front line, and there will be many more battles to fight in the future."
As wars become more frequent, the list of casualties will grow longer.
Lu Fenghan felt a little complicated.
The fact that soldiers sacrifice is heroic and has become the default in the hearts of countless people. Few people realize that soldiers have life and death, and also have wives and children.
When the battles, explosions and sacrifices on the front line are counted, recorded and published as a series of numbers, the sense of "people"'s presence in them is constantly weakened.
Qi Yan saw Lu Fenghan staring at him: "What's wrong?"
Lu Fenghan shook his head.
The words left unsaid were—thank you for remembering them.
For the next three days, Qi Yan was unable to return to school.
Xia Zhiyang helped him find a professional manager. After Qi Yan explained his ideas, the other party began to draft contracts and statements, hold different meetings, and handle various procedures with great efficiency.
After signing the last statement, Qi Yan finally ended his busy schedule and got on the hovercraft to go home.
Because the occasion was very formal, Qi Yan wore a black suit custom-made in Debo Studio. The hand-cut lines fit the body shape, depicting Qi Yan's light restraint and dignity.
He sat upright, his cold white skin reflecting the fleeting light from the window. His half-closed eyelashes looked cold due to exhaustion, making him look like a thin layer of snow on a pine branch.
He looked like a young master who had just attended a dinner party, with a decadent look and aloof personality.
Qi Yan casually flipped through the "Leto Daily" and did not expect to see his name on the page - it was news about him giving up Qi Wenshao's inheritance, establishing a foundation and pension.
Lu Fenghan glanced at the picture accompanying the news, recalled what happened before, and said with a smile: "Now everyone knows that our Qi Yan is very rich."
Qi Yan turned around and asked Lu Fenghan: "Will it be troublesome?"
"Of course not." Lu Fenghan looked straight ahead, the lights in the night reflected in his eyes, "Qi Yan's matter will never be a problem."
