Chapter 397: Chapter 196: The Hero Returns? (Part 1)
"Remember not to drive after drinking!" Xia Youyang could only remind him of this, even though he knew saying it was just the same as not saying it at all.
Liu Dongyi sped all the way home, gave the drunken, unconscious girl a cup of sober-up soup, and then said to her hazy eyes, "Take a bath, I’ll take the day off for you tomorrow. Just rest well at home..."
"Mm... got it..." Liu Lanyue swayed with every step towards the bathroom, almost completing her wash with her eyes closed.
Liu Dongyi habitually browsed the web and said, "It’s been updated? I thought they were gone for good..."
After winning today’s chaotic race and celebrating wildly, she saw that the long-abandoned author had finally picked up the pieces and updated... Liu Dongyi felt her luck was really quite good. However, compared to her satisfaction, a certain Young Master Gu was in a quandary.
As the leader of a bunch of Star Thieves, Gu Ningyi’s power stretched across black and white areas. Although he couldn’t say he knew everything, investigating some matters was still possible. Although the second personality perfectly altered Su Jiameng’s identity and deeds, these half-truths were nothing in Gu Ningyi’s eyes, and the truth was gradually surfacing...
"So... that’s how it is..." A sharp glint flashed through Gu Ningyi’s eyes, only to turn confused. According to his investigation results, that Miss Su was adorable in personality, but she was just a naive and ignorant girl.
Compared to the constant strength and heroism revealed by Su Jiameng, Miss Su seemed more like an innocent child.
In other words, Su Jiameng and Miss Su were completely opposite individuals in their actions, attitude, and behavior! Thinking of Su Jiameng’s expression of desire for combat and her indifference to her injuries, Gu Ningyi’s face grew colder. To achieve such a state, how much unimaginable honing must one endure?
He wouldn’t believe that a once naive and clueless simple girl would completely change after a life upheaval, gaining such immense strength in a short time, with her mind not twisted by setbacks, but instead becoming more determined. At least Gu Ningyi believed he couldn’t achieve that! Having a good personality was one thing, but what about such talent? Could hitting a setback open up a genius?
"I feel it’s more like two people..." Gu Ningyi placed his slender fingers over the information, with only the virtual screen in front of him glowing in the dim room, leaving everything else in darkness, "But if it really is two people, why would Su Jiameng replace Miss Su, and where did the real Miss Su go?"
According to the records, the "Su Jiameng" from the poor planet wasn’t registered as deceased, meaning the impostor appeared in front of the world under the guise of "Su Jiameng". What was the purpose of such impersonation?
Various doubts swirled in Gu Ningyi’s mind, like a tangled ball of yarn, seemingly easy to unravel but actually a mess with no clear start or end. What worried him even more was that his second brother made a deal with this Su Jiameng!
For certain special reasons, his brother never told him the content of that deal. No matter how many times he hinted around, the other party kept it tight-lipped. This made Gu Ningyi very concerned and irritated. Now that such an incident came up, his mind became even more complex and uneasy.
Quickly contacting Gu Ningzhi, Gu Ningyi directly asked, "How much do you really know about that Su Jiameng? Also, what exactly is your transaction? I found this guy’s background is not simple..."
Gu Ningzhi had just packed his things, joining the forces to board the Cosmic Spaceship, the Expedition Army gathered for the first time! Since it was inconvenient to answer this question in front of everyone, Gu Ningyi had to wait for the right moment...
Gu Ningzhi finally found a free moment, saw his brother’s question, and replied with a casual smile, "As for that Su Jiameng... honestly, I don’t know much about her. But, I can confirm that the other side is an extremely dangerous individual. As for the transaction content, I really can’t say, or there will be very severe consequences. By the way, did Big Brother discover something about her secrets?"
If there were no significant discoveries, Gu Ningzhi didn’t think his all-busy brother would bother contacting him.
"I did... take a look at this information..." Gu Ningyi copied the information he had at hand and sent it to Gu Ningzhi while explaining, "This is what I have investigated about that Su Jiameng. Don’t you find this data very strange?"
