Chapter 205: Fugitive Jiang Ke, Once a Genius
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Niu Rui noticed his gaze, sneered, and kicked the man over directly.
Looking down on him, “Just because of the thoughts you had just now, it’s enough for you to die a hundred times, and each death will be unique!”
The man’s pupils contracted, emitting a beast-like low growl, “Who are you people?! What do you want?!”
Jiang Fuyue waved Niu Rui away, walked up to the man under his slightly concerned gaze, squatted down, and met his gaze.
The man nervously turned his body sideways, and his long hair conveniently covered the right side of his face.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Jiang Fuyue had already seen the horrifying scars on his right face, no eyebrows, and even his eyes were melted into just a narrow slit.
Before, he had buried his head, and later, he used his hair to conceal it. None of the people present had noticed.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, besides the initial surprise in her eyes, there was only calmness.
The man looked bewildered, “Aren’t you afraid?”
A girl of this age, seeing half of his face, would either scream or run away, as if she had seen a ghost.
Some people were directly scared unconscious and had to undergo regular psychological treatment after waking up.
Jiang Fuyue, upon hearing this, suddenly smirked, “What are you referring to?”
The man was somewhat at a loss, “My face…”
“Compared to freedom, what does half a face matter? Hmm?” Her tone was leisurely, with a rising inflection at the end.
The man stiffened all over, and that fierceness and killing intent returned.
But Jiang Fuyue seemed to have seen something “interesting”, her eyes becoming eager, “It’s said that reality can change the appearance of bad people and make good people unrecognizable. Just now, including before, were you thinking of killing to cover up your tracks? Just killing me might not be enough, there are so many people here who know your identity…”
“Could it be…” Jiang Fuyue blinked, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth, “Are you planning to kill us all?”
The man’s expression froze.
At some point, he did think so.
“Then you should consider whether you have the ability to take on multiple opponents.” Jiang Fuyue sidestepped to his side, speaking gently and smiling lightly, “Killing is easy, but being killed is just as easy.”
The man’s body suddenly stiffened.
The next second, he suddenly reached out towards Jiang Fuyue’s neck.
At this moment, there was only deathly silence in his eyes.
Although he couldn’t take on multiple opponents, he could capture the leader. Blame it on this girl being too foolish, standing so close.
Don’t blame him for being ruthless!
As he had said, for freedom, he could even destroy his appearance himself. What did it matter to take a hostage?
The man’s plan was well-thought-out, and his action was quite decisive. “Courage” and “ruthlessness” merged into one on him.
Unfortunately, Jiang Fuyue was faster than him.
While the man reached out, she also moved, not retreating but advancing, directly clenching her fist and swinging it towards his temple.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out.
Then came the second punch, the third punch…
The man was directly slammed against the wall, his head tilted, and blood dripped from his nostrils and mouth.
Ye Qianji couldn’t bear to look and turned his head away.
Ah, what’s wrong with these people now? Are they all blind? They have no judgment whatsoever on who to mess with and who not to mess with! If people don’t get beaten, who will?
Ah! His little moon looks even more handsome when she’s beating people!
Niu Rui glanced awkwardly at Jiang Fuyue’s clenched fist, then at the bruised and swollen man, realizing he had misplaced his concern.
“I said, think twice before you act, but unfortunately, you didn’t listen,” Jiang Fuyue stood up and clapped her hands.
“Hehe, Little Moon, here are some wet wipes for you.”
Jiang Fuyue instantly smiled, “Thanks, Master~”
Niu Rui: “…” This ability to change faces, it’s incredible.
The man, realizing escape was futile, slumped against the wall, hanging his head, his hair covering his disfigured right face.
“What do you want to do? Whether it’s killing or mutilation, it doesn’t matter, do as you please,” he said, then simply laid down, looking completely indifferent to life.
“You— ” Niu Rui began, but was silenced by a glance from Jiang Fuyue.
“Give it to me,” she reached out her hand.
Niu Rui reacted quickly, pulling out a document from behind him and handing it to her.
Jiang Fuyue flipped open the first page and read aloud, “Jiang Ke, born on January 14, 2030, just turned twenty this year. At the age of fifteen, due to his astonishing computer talent, he was admitted to the youth program of South University of Science and Technology. He participated in the 42nd NOI summer camp training, but was involved in the ‘dormitory poisoning case’ just before the national team selection…”
The man laid motionless, but his fingers instinctively curled, the joints turning pale.
Jiang Fuyue continued, “Investigations showed sufficient evidence that Jiang Ke poisoned and killed his dormitory mate. He was sentenced to death in the first trial, and the verdict was upheld in the second trial. But on the day before the execution, he escaped. He was nationally wanted, but they never caught him.”
“Who would have thought that the once brilliant young man, in order to survive, would have the heart to disfigure himself, pretending to be a middle-aged man, and hiding under the foot of the royal city for four years?”
“Haha…” Jiang Ke chuckled softly.
Since the moment his name was called out, he knew this moment would come: all disguises would be torn apart, all concealments would be exposed, laid bare under the sunlight, leaving him powerless to flee like a rat, his true self revealed!
“Now that you know who I am, what do you plan to do next? Hand me over to the police? Or execute me directly?” he grinned, seeming carefree, but there was a glint of moisture shimmering in his eyes under the light.
After fleeing for so many years, is it finally coming to an end?
Well, it’s not bad.
Living like a ghost, neither alive nor dead, avoiding the police like a mouse facing a cat. Once he lived so proudly, looking down on others, even arrogant and domineering. But now, he’s not even as good as a dog.
But he still can’t bear to die.
Today, someone can finally put an end to it for him, well, it’s okay.
With his hands behind his head, Jiang Ke relaxed for the first time in four years.
Niu Rui couldn’t help but laugh at his sly and pathetic appearance, “Why are you still talking so big?”
“Aren’t you going to arrest me? Go ahead.”
“… “
When Niu Rui used the intelligence network of Qianji Pavilion to find out his identity, he couldn’t help but be surprised. He didn’t expect Jiang Fuyue to casually catch a wanted criminal.
Out of curiosity, he investigated the “dormitory poisoning case” from back then, and Jiang Ke’s wanted order as a first-class fugitive was still hanging there.
He didn’t expect it to be the same person as the homeless-looking “middle-aged man” in front of him.
Are you sure this guy is only twenty? Not forty?
Jiang Ke: “Although I’m about to be finished, I’m still curious. Who are you guys? How did you find me? Can you let me die with peace of mind?”
Niu Rui turned to look at Jiang Fuyue.
Even Ye Qianji looked at her.
Jiang Ke thought that he had guessed correctly. This girl is the one who can make decisions.
So he didn’t look at Ye Qianji, or Niu Rui who was talking to him, but stared straight at Jiang Fuyue.
She really looked very young, probably even younger than him…
“The reason I was able to find you is because when you were remotely controlling Lin Yuan to do competition questions, I implanted a Trojan horse into her computer, mainly for tracking and positioning purposes.”
Jiang Ke frowned, traces of the once handsome youth still visible on his intact left face.
“Lin Yuan? Who?”
Jiang Fuyue twitched her mouth, “Don’t tell me you helped another person remotely do competition questions?”
“Yeah, who knows which competition you’re talking about. I have orders now to help with the NOI summer camp training questions, ICPC programming, and a robot programming hosted by a certain foreign internet giant. These can all be considered competitions. Which one are you referring to?”
Jiang Fuyue: “…NOI summer camp.”
“Oh! So it was that girl who’s obsessed with getting full marks and competing for first place in her life or death with money, Lin Yuan? That name sounds nice.”
Jiang Fuyue twitched her eye.
“But,” he suddenly realized, “you said you planted a Trojan horse on her computer. What does that have to do with finding me?”
“Don’t you know the phrase ‘follow the vine to find the melon’?”
Jiang Ke frowned, “So what you mean is, you infected her host, and then infected mine? And then used that Trojan horse to locate me?”
Jiang Fuyue nodded, “That’s one way to put it.”
“It’s impossible! No Trojan horse in this world can penetrate my firewall!”
Jiang Fuyue: “The facts prove that mine can. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in this state right now.”
Jiang Ke wanted to say she was talking nonsense with the first sentence.
But the second sentence left him speechless.
“What do you want to do? Enforce justice on behalf of heaven? Exterminate demons and monsters?”
