Chapter 424: 418, Hidden Danger, Liu Yinghai (Third Update)_1

And a very important point is that the Divine Punishment System probably won’t let him stop now!

When the time comes, what if punishments like frequent urination, smelly feet, body odor, and fungal nail infections come one after another? Can he really bear it? A life where he could even suffocate himself, would that still be called a transmigrator?

Who has ever seen such a miserable transmigrator?

The biggest advantage Ren He has right now is, Little Fatty Xu Nuo has the contact information of all the middle school classmates, and everyone is also in a communication group.

Ren He does not want to deal with this matter personally, and his involvement would also raise suspicions, so he simply let Little Fatty Xu Nuo call everyone out for a meal.

While the reporters were still busily contacting each student’s household, Ren He’s middle school classmates had already been roped in by Xu Nuo.

Ren He also felt truly fucking tired, performing an extreme sport as if he were a spy during war, what’s the point? And the Divine Punishment System would pop up from time to time just to mess with him, making him feel sick.

This meal wasn’t so simple; Ren He had actually instructed Xu Nuo to use the Qinghe Faction’s methods for dealing with outsiders. They had to pick the best place to eat, and there were even gifts afterward.

The gifts were not given out casually. It was a pair of gold earrings for each person. Although it wasn’t a lot of money, just over a thousand yuan each, for high school students in the third-tier Luo City, it was an incredibly rare occurrence. Having a meal and then getting a pair of gold earrings for each, it was truly posh!

The Xu Nuo of now is not the same naive Little Fatty he used to be. At the dinner table, he didn’t even mention that everyone mustn’t let slip the incident of Ren He leaping the teaching building. That would be an obvious indication of guilt and would lead to speculations not just by the reporters, but also among the classmates!

Otherwise, you can’t guarantee that someone wouldn’t report this to the reporters for fame and profit. After all, these days fame and profit are much more important than classmates, and Ren He had seen his fair share of backstabbing among so-called friends.

Therefore, Xu Nuo couldn’t bring up this issue at the dinner table, act as if it never happened. Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Ren He is our classmate, and everyone is clear about that. You always used to say I was modest. Now you should understand what’s going on, right?"

Someone laughed with mixed feelings, "I really didn’t expect it. We all thought you were Qinghe’s boss. Ren He hasn’t been in touch with us for so long. It’s really surprising."

Previously, they would always compare Xu Nuo to Ren He and say in private: despite Ren He being the top scorer in the entrance exam, he still couldn’t catch up to Xu Nuo’s achievements for a lifetime. What’s so great about being an exam star if he doesn’t keep in touch with everyone?

But now... they finally understood that indeed, they were not people from the same world!

Xu Nuo, laughing heartily, said, "That’s our big boss. You can’t judge him simply by his grades and achievements. If you have the chance to interact with him more, you’ll understand that he is much more important than what he has achieved so far."

In fact, Xu Nuo felt a bit emotional since Ren He was the legend of his life. If it weren’t for Ren He, there would be no him today.

Xu Nuo’s heart was straightforward. Others might think he was silly, but he had his own set of worldviews, life philosophies, and values. Simply put, he was good to those who were good to him. Anyone who treated him like a fool was the real fool.

With such a pure logic, whether right or wrong, he was brought up by Ren He. When Ren He was in trouble, it was only right for him to step forward. So, when Xu Nuo’s identity was exposed, he didn’t feel aggrieved at all. He would take a beating if he had to, for there was nothing embarrassing about it for Ren He’s sake.

Originally, Ren He wanted to directly give him 40% of the shares, but Xu Nuo didn’t take it. Thinking back, if it were anyone else, they might be full of regret, but Xu Nuo was glad he did not take it.

The current Qinghe had already become a colossal entity. The concept of owning 40% of its shares was something Xu Nuo did not even dare to think about.

He did not have any lofty ambitions. He was content and satisfied with everything as it was and only hoped things could continue just like this.

Xu Nuo felt fortunate that the legend had appeared in his life, not someone else’s. This was his greatest fortune.

He laughed and said, "Now that Ren He has become famous, the reporters will definitely want to interview everyone. I hope you will all speak well of him and not say anything bad."

"Of course, we’re classmates after all. How could we say bad things about him behind his back to the reporters? Don’t worry, Xu Nuo!" the classmates said with a laugh in response.

"Don’t worry, we will definitely speak well of him!"

Xu Nuo’s smile crinkled his eyes, and yet he continued, "Just focus on his academic performance. You can express amazement that he has come this far, and that you could tell from his past academic achievements. If reporters ask about other stuff and we’re not sure, then we just don’t answer."

This sentence was actually the key to tonight’s dinner, not only to get everyone to say nice things but also to draw a mental circle in their subconscious: just talk about academic performance!

If they only talked about academic performance, then they wouldn’t talk about anything else.

Actually, this is a typical technique of psychological suggestion. For example, someone piques others’ curiosity by saying, "Absolutely do not look at such and such a picture," but the rise in curiosity compels them to click and take a look.

Similarly, when walking at night, if you tell someone there’s a snake ahead, they will proceed in fear and react at anything resembling a snake, even though there may not be a single snake on that path.

Xu Nuo aimed to provide such a psychological suggestion tonight; Ren He had no other options at this point.

After dinner, Xu Nuo distributed boxes containing golden earrings to everyone. Seeing Xu Nuo’s generous gesture, the high school students subconsciously felt they should fulfill the task Xu Nuo had entrusted to them, which was only a small effort on their part.

Once everyone had left, Xu Nuo, weary from the day’s efforts, hurried off to meet Ren He who was jogging downstairs at the time.

Seeing Ren He jogging, Xu Nuo was stunned, "You can still afford to jog with the situation so urgent?"

"Worrying is useless," Ren He stopped, having not broken a sweat despite running for half the day.

The Ren He of today was no longer the student who hadn’t faced major challenges; his mindset had entered a higher realm when he drew "Stubbornness," facing his true self, clear and natural.

Panic would only disturb his own strategy, so Ren He calmly asked, "How did it go?"

Xu Nuo knew what he was asking, so he replied, "They took the gifts, the hint was dropped, but there was a slight oversight."

"What oversight?" Ren He inquired.

"Duan Xiaolou and Liu Yinghai weren’t there; in fact, Liu Yinghai has never been before," Xu Nuo explained.

Ren He stood there calmly, mulling over the fact that only four people hadn’t attended the class reunion: himself, Duan Xiaolou, Yang Xi, and Liu Yinghai.

He and Yang Xi aside, Duan Xiaolou was abroad and out of the reach of reporters.

The real issue was with Liu Yinghai, as the seeds that had been sown in the past now bore their fruit.

The two had been at odds before, and Liu Yinghai’s subsequent bouts of vomiting nearly led to breakdowns, with Ren He applauding twice, praising him for his impassioned reactions, which surely earned Liu Yinghai’s resentment...

Whether this person held grudges, honestly, even Ren He himself was not sure...

And since Liu Yinghai was the deputy class monitor, and the class monitor was untraceable, interviewing the deputy was the natural course of action, with whatever Liu Yinghai said being out of Ren He’s control.

No matter what happened next, Liu Yinghai was his first hurdle...

After pondering, Ren He asked, "Do you know where he lives? If not, find out for me."

One individual is always easier to deal with than a group; now that only one was left, Ren He felt that reasoning with him was likely futile...

...

This afternoon at 2 PM will be the big push; staying up until now to write these three Chapters really took its toll, but exploding onto the scene is a must for today, see you all tonight.

Speaking of which, with an explosion should come monthly tickets, subscriptions, and such, right? Evened at 9400, ten thousand is upon us; I need everyone’s support.

Tired, time to sleep, good morning to all of you.
