Chapter 220
Little Princess had proposed the demand without any hope of success. Hearing Jian Fan’s question, she grew serious. “Either is fine. As long as they die and their families go bankrupt, nothing else matters.”
She paused. “If you can do it, I will keep my promise.”
“It’s a deal,” Jian Fan said.
Then his lips curved. “Message them now. Choose somewhere high enough that a fall will kill them, and tell them to arrive within an hour. After sending the messages, keep a computer close and relinquish control of the body.”
A computer…
Everyone looked at Jian Fan with uncertainty.
He was a computer expert, but using that alone to bankrupt five companies within an hour seemed… impossible.
Still, if Jian Fan had suggested it, perhaps he was confident.
Little Princess was curious too.
But she asked no questions. She promptly agreed and followed his instructions.
Little Princess moved quickly.
As soon as she completed his requests, another message arrived.
“Everything’s ready. Which one of you will control the body?” she asked.
Everyone immediately looked at Jian Fan.
He didn’t answer at once. Instead, he turned to Lu Jing. “How much time would you need to kill five people?”
Lu Jing: “???”
What?
After a moment’s silence, he answered, “To be safe, give me five minutes.”
Little Princess had two demands. Jian Fan obviously intended to handle the bankruptcies himself. As for killing five people, an hour left no time for elaborate schemes, so he planned to use the most direct method.
Let Lu Jing control Little Princess’s body and send all five men straight to the afterlife.
Jian Fan nodded. “All right. Understood.” Then he spoke to Little Princess. “I’ll go first.”
As the words left his mouth, sunlight poured down from the horizon. A door gradually materialized within the light. Without hesitation, Jian Fan walked toward it.
He soon vanished.
They knew he had gone to control Little Princess’s body, but how could they be certain it was real?
Qin Nan was worried.
Then a new message appeared on the tablet.
“Safe.”
Huh?
Qin Nan paused, then sent, “Jian Fan?”
“Mm.”
The answer arrived almost immediately.
That terse response was almost certainly Jian Fan. Qin Nan relaxed at once.
As for Jian Fan–
He glanced over his surroundings for only a moment before taking the computer.
No matter how formidable his expertise, he couldn’t make five companies go bankrupt instantly. But he could use it to break into anything stored online.
Such actions were naturally unacceptable in reality. Jian Fan had never used his abilities for personal gain or to harm anyone. But this was the Realm of Death.
He had to survive.
None of this was real.
Jian Fan stared at the computer and took a deep breath. Then his gaze changed. He cast aside every stray thought and focused entirely on the machine.
He began working.
He had only an hour. There was no hope of uncovering every secret of five companies within that time, and Jian Fan understood the limits of what he could accomplish.
He hacked directly into the companies’ financial systems and the five male leads’ personal smart devices.
If their theory was correct, men capable of murdering Little Princess’s parents were unlikely to have clean hands. Jian Fan needed to expose everything they had done and inspect their companies’ accounts along the way.
He couldn’t guarantee success. He could only do his best.
Perhaps the Realm of Death’s setting was incomplete, or perhaps it had never imagined Jian Fan would attempt this. Either way, the firewalls were barely configured, and he breached them with ease.
He soon found exactly what he wanted.
Every large company had problems of one kind or another. Given the shameless crime these five men had committed, Jian Fan expected their other dealings to be dirty as well. What he hadn’t expected was how easy the evidence would be to uncover.
The companies had falsified accounts involving enormous sums. This was no longer merely a question of bankruptcy–it was a question of whether the responsible people would go to prison after the investigation. As for the five supposedly exceptional male leads, the private information Jian Fan uncovered showed that Little Princess had not been their first victim. The five men had distrusted one another and retained evidence as insurance.
Now all that evidence served Jian Fan.
He packaged it and reported it directly to the relevant authorities. To prevent their connections from suppressing the cases, he also released everything on social media and forced it to the top of the trending lists, where no one could remove it.
Little Princess watched his actions in stunned silence.
In less than an hour, her world underwent a seismic change. Jian Fan checked the time, took the computer, and headed to the place where she had arranged to meet the five male leads.
He arrived before them.
Jian Fan didn’t stop working.
He couldn’t bankrupt five families in a single hour, but he could destroy them within that hour. Bankruptcy would only be a matter of time.
Surely Little Princess wouldn’t quibble over the distinction?
The outcome would be the same.
While Jian Fan continued, the five male leads arrived one after another.
He studied them, confirmed they were the men from the photographs, and immediately called for Lu Jing. Then he relinquished control of the body and pushed Lu Jing forward.
Lu Jing wasn’t clever, but he excelled at following instructions.
The five men watched the cold, aloof Little Princess’s eyes abruptly change, her whole demeanor turning savage. Before they could react, she charged and knocked them all down as though each weighed nothing.
And she wasn’t finished.
Before they could get up, the once-delicate and adorable Little Princess picked them up one by one and threw them straight off the rooftop.
The male leads: “???”
What was happening?
They soon no longer needed to wonder.
Afterward, Lu Jing had no idea what else to do, so he immediately relinquished control of the body.
At that moment–
Standing behind Qin Nan, Jian Fan abruptly shoved him toward the door. Just before Qin Nan passed through, Jian Fan instructed, “Jump. Kill yourself.”
Qin Nan: “???”
What?
No, why did this particular job have to fall to him?
