Chapter 90 - Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun

Chapter 90: Chapter 88: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun"Ah, right, Ye Qiu, my father-in-law would like to meet with you, would that be convenient?" Su Qing asked her.

"Is it because of the Body Forging Technique?" Ye Qiu had already guessed, ever since she told Su Qing about her live broadcast room, she knew it would inevitably attract the Military Department’s attention, which was one of the results she desired. She just didn’t expect it to come this quickly.

"Exactly." Su Qing’s eyes shone, "Did your Master really create this? And you’re actually distributing it for free so everyone can learn, that’s so noble!"

Ye Qiu, hearing this, chuckled lightly: "It’s not as simple as you think; I have my own motives."

"No." Su Qing shook her head, "You should know what kind of change a brand new Body Forging Technique brings to the alliance. As long as it doesn’t threaten the alliance’s safety, even if your demands are high, it wouldn’t be excessive."

Ye Qiu stopped talking about it and asked her, "When does General Jiang have time to meet me?"

"My father-in-law is already on the way back to Capital Star. By the time you have mostly recovered from your injuries, they should have arrived."

"That’s good."

Meanwhile, in a luxurious estate on Capital Star, an old man fiercely slapped a young and beautiful woman in front of him.

"Foolish, who allowed you to act so recklessly." Qin Xiang’s sinister gaze was firmly fixed on his granddaughter in front of him; he wasn’t angry that his granddaughter attempted an assassination, but furious that she hadn’t handled the matter well, nearly bringing disaster upon herself.

"Grandfather, I realize my mistake." Qin Shu covered her swollen cheek with one hand, her head lowered, hair somewhat disheveled, her voice sincere but also fragile, immensely pitiable.

"Alright, Dad, it’s not that serious, is it necessary to be so fierce?" Qin Zhong, always doting on his youngest daughter, couldn’t help but speak out in her defense.

"Not that serious?" Qin Xiang coldly glared at his son and the tearful daughter-in-law holding his granddaughter, feeling a surge of irritation inside, "The Military Department is just looking for a pretext to get you, and now, during the critical election period, you’re stirring up trouble. Can you afford the consequences if something goes wrong?"

"Dad, this...this can’t all be blamed on Ah Shu, who knew that woman would be so lucky to survive!" Qin Zhong’s spirit deflated a bit, but he still muttered under his breath.

"A doting father leads to a failed son." Qin Xiang couldn’t help but scold, then looked disappointed at Qin Shu: "Ah Shu, I thought you were a child who understood the bigger picture, yet you caused such a huge mess."

"Grandfather, I know I was wrong, I swear, this won’t happen again." As soon as Qin Shu heard Qin Xiang’s tone, she immediately knelt down, which made him look a bit more pleased.

Mrs. Qin, standing off to the side, didn’t dare to speak. Seeing her daughter kneel, her tears fell even harder. She bent down and hugged her beloved daughter, trembling, unaware that at the moment she held her dear daughter, a flash of impatience crossed Qin Shu’s eyes.

Qin Xiang, seeing his daughter-in-law’s uselessness, seemingly paid no heed to it, his frown growing deeper.

At this moment, a young man sitting on the other end of the sofa finally spoke up: "Grandfather, now is not the time to blame my sister. The most crucial thing is how to handle this matter properly so that neither the Military Department nor the Security Bureau can trace it back to us."

Qin Xiang, seeing the handsome young man, his mood improved a bit, asked in a deep voice, "What do you have in mind?"

The man, Qin Shu’s brother Qin Kai, chuckled and replied: "One of the Hidden Guards died, and three vehicles were left behind. It’s uncertain if they will trace it to us. Rather than that, it might be better for us to confess."

"Isn’t this harming your sister?" Qin Zhong was anxious.

Qin Kai paused for a moment and, under the signal from Qin Xiang, continued: "It’s impossible for us to hand over my sister, but haven’t the collateral branches received our favor for so many years? Can’t they produce one person? When the time comes, we can use it to promote ourselves, saying that the Qin Family even exposes its own people during the crucial period of the election. Listen, how selfless and great is that!"

"Hmm! You really grasp my intentions the best." Qin Xiang nodded in satisfaction, "As for the four people who came back, deal with them all at once!"

"Yes, Grandfather, you don’t have to worry about this. Leave it all to me. You just focus on preparing for the election." Qin Kai seemed very considerate, but things he promised to handle had never failed. Hearing this, the few people in the room all felt relieved, except for Qin Shu, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

"Knock knock." After Qin Xiang and the others went back to their rooms, Qin Kai knocked on Qin Shu’s door.

"What is it?" Qin Shu always had little regard for her brother, who appeared to be kind to her in others’ eyes, an act of brotherly love for his sister. But only she knew clearly, for the sake of his own future, he had plotted several times to marry her off to members of the Yun Family or the Jiang Family against her will.

What made her even angrier was that he always disguised it so well, even her loving parents listened to her brother on this matter. For the advantage that an arranged marriage could bring the family, Grandfather had already started scheming.

Hah, isn’t it laughable? The Eldest Lady of the Qin Family, who’s admired by outsiders, is actually just a chess piece for the men in the family. The Qin Family belongs to the Political Department and has always been at odds with the Yun and Jiang families from the Military Department. Could she possibly have good days after marrying into one of those families?

However, even if her family is willing to marry her off, the other two families might not be willing to take her in!

Thinking she could go there to steal secrets, they’re not that foolish.

Qin Kai, seeing his sister’s cold demeanor, was used to it. He casually light-heartedly laughed, "I’ve checked it out. That Ye Qiu is Rong Yu’s wife. Well, the man is dead, are you still secretly in love with him?"

"That’s none of your business." Qin Shu said impatiently.

"It’s indeed none of my business. But you should know what Grandfather values the most. Do whatever little tricks you want, just don’t let anyone catch you by the tail. But never do anything foolish, otherwise I won’t be able to help you when the time comes."

"I certainly don’t need your help." Qin Shu feigned closing the door.

Qin Kai, watching the closed door, arched an eyebrow, but ultimately didn’t voice out that the death of Rong Yu was actually at his hands. His sister is precious in his eyes, how could he waste her on an ordinary man?

Considering the current situation, it’s better for Qin Shu not to know about Rong Yu’s death, in case it ruins his grand plans later on.

Today, Qin Shu was scolded and slapped by Grandfather and was threatened by her detestable brother at night, which intensified her bottled-up resentment. But as these two people were beyond her ability to retaliate against, she directed all her blame onto Ye Qiu.

How could she have escaped? If she had died there, today’s events wouldn’t have happened.

Ye Qiu, even if you’re protected by people from the Military Department, I won’t just let it go!

Filled with a vengeful glint, Qin Shu’s delicate face twisted, her long nails dug fiercely into her flesh, and she struggled to fall asleep.
