Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 734 - 735: Got the password! Milk essence is invincible!
Song Jia was rendered speechless.
Gu Anxi laughed. "Alright, I don’t have anything for you here. Go keep your Senior Brother company, and think carefully about how to expose Father Bo and my little uncle."
Song Jia slammed the door and left.
Never, never had anyone dared to be so arrogant.
They were clearly prisoners, hiding from the light of day, yet still so brazen.
Song Jia had never felt so incensed. She stormed out, venting her frustration with a crack of her silver whip, unintentionally injuring a passing guard. Always aloof, she merely glanced at him and snapped, "Get out!"
The wounded guard could only endure the pain and curse her inwardly as he departed.
Letting out a long sigh, Song Jia composed herself. Gu Anxi is deliberately provoking me to lay things bare, forcing my hand. I could expose the Bo father and son, but...
A chill ran down her spine. She suddenly realized, Could Gu Anxi also expose the fact that I’m Zhou Yunchen’s sister? Even if Senior Brother’s wish were fulfilled, there would always be a wall between us! That damned Gu Anxi! She’s utterly insidious. But Senior Brother...
Song Jia felt caught in an impossible situation, unsure of what to do.
Just as she was feeling torn, she suddenly saw Bo Qing and the doctor sipping tea and admiring calligraphy and paintings, appearing perfectly harmonious and content. She froze for a moment, then slowly walked over. "Senior Brother."
Bo Qing was seated, holding a Ming dynasty blue and white porcelain cup. "What’s wrong?"
Song Jia wanted to speak but hesitated, finally forcing a smile. "Nothing."
Bo Qing smiled and resumed his conversation with the doctor.
The doctor studied Song Jia for a moment, then slowly sipped his tea. In the end, Song Jia still didn’t speak, just sat there silently.
Bo Qing’s gaze subtly brushed across her face, but he said nothing.
That evening, Song Jia went to Gu Anxi’s room again. Gu Anxi seemed much better, munching on fruit by herself, like a little squirrel.
Song Jia couldn’t help but ask, "You eat all day, why don’t you gain weight?"
Gu Anxi "oh"-ed thoughtfully. "I guess that’s what happens when you’re married. Oh, right, don’t you have my Second Uncle? Do you still need to diet?"
Song Jia felt a lump in her throat, wanting to say something but unable to.
Gu Anxi chuckled again. "That’s more like it. If you’re out of sorts, I can have Father Bo prescribe some medicine for you and arrange a massage. Maybe then your complexion wouldn’t look so awful."
Song Jia glared at her, about to step forward.
But Gu Anxi tossed a small object to the ground, and instantly, several beautiful young women appeared. They moved quickly and ruthlessly, overwhelming Song Jia.
Meanwhile, the Little Milk Devil was still there, munching on fruit, and said with a grin, "My little uncle brought these for me. What do you think? Not bad, huh?"
Song Jia was forced back, at a disadvantage, and ended up in the hands of these beautiful young women.
Gu Anxi tossed the fruit pit away, nimbly got out of bed, walked over to Song Jia, and pinched her cheek. "A bit sallow, aren’t we? And you’re only in your twenties, yet your complexion is so poor. Looks like my Second Uncle doesn’t dote on you much, eh? How about this: stand with me, and I’ll guarantee your beloved stays alive. Plus, I’ll even find you some outstanding young men, line them up for you to choose. There’s bound to be one you like."
Song Jia’s face changed. "Gu Anxi, you’re despicable! You’re just using me."
"That’s right, I am using you. So what? You don’t have the guts to tell your precious Senior Brother, so you blame me?" Gu Anxi retorted.
She cracked her knuckles, the joints popping, and said with another smile, "Seeing me so full of life, are you incredibly angry? Oh, don’t be angry. Anger doesn’t suit you. Look, you’re already out of sorts; getting angry now gives you no advantage at all. My Second Uncle would most likely find a prettier young lady. He’s actually not very picky."
Song Jia glared at her. "What do you want?"
Gu Anxi pressed something on the small device in her hand, and the four beautiful young women vanished.
Just as Song Jia reached for her whip, Gu Anxi had already pressed a silver disc to her throat. "Don’t move."
Her hand slid down slightly, and then she produced something used in labs for suction, like a pipette bulb.
Song Jia’s face turned white. "What are you trying to do?"
Gu Anxi toyed with the small rubber device, her eyes fixed on Song Jia’s neck, murmuring as if to herself, "If I put this on your neck, clamp it down, and suck a few times... would Second Uncle think you have another man?"
With that, she pressed it to the back of her own hand and sucked a few times, then said with satisfaction, "It really does look like it."
Song Jia was fuming. "Gu Anxi!"
Gu Anxi grinned. "Angry? Good. Go on, expose the three of us."
Song Jia tried to speak again, but Gu Anxi narrowed her eyes, then found a rope and tied her up.
"Gu Anxi, you bastard!"
"Gu Anxi, I’ve never met anyone as terrible as you."
"Gu Anxi, let me go! What are you trying to do?"
...
Gu Anxi chuckled softly. "Of course, I’m running away. Did you think I’d stay? Oh, you could say you’re forcing me to run. You’re always so full of ’gratitude’ towards me, wanting to repay me, yet you never dare to pierce that paper window. Hehe, I guess I’ll just have to help you out!"
Song Jia was utterly speechless.
Gu Anxi tied a firm knot in the rope binding her hands, even gave it a kick for good measure, then clapped her hands as she stood up. "Right, remember, 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow. If you can’t shut down the system, tens of millions of people will die because of you, including Zhou Yunchen."
Song Jia asked coldly, "What about you? Are you going back to die with them?"
Gu Anxi’s expression turned icy. "No. If they die, I will make all of you pay with your blood."
With that, she turned and left without a backward glance, vanishing into the night.
Song Jia struggled desperately but could not free herself.
After a moment, however, she saw a silver blade lying not far from her hand. She could move over to get it. She shifted slightly, then... hesitated.
After a long pause, she gently kicked the blade into a hidden corner and sat there silently.
Tonight, she knew what Gu Anxi was doing, but she also knew it was impossible. That system... without the password, it was impossible to open. Even a genius like Gu Anxi couldn’t do it.
Meanwhile, when Gu Anxi walked out, her footsteps faltered for a moment.
Then, she glanced back.
No movement.
She let out a soft chuckle.
Song Jia, in the end, would choose Zhou Yunchen. With her repeated wavering, how could she possibly have such resolve!
She nimbly slipped away, and upon reaching a hidden spot, whispered, "Little Uncle, we can go."
Bo Xichen nodded.
The two of them deftly slipped out together and arrived at the system control room.
Bo Qing wasn’t there; only a dozen or so people were on duty, each one highly alert.
Gu Anxi pulled several buttons from her clothes, snapped them apart, and reassembled them into what turned out to be a miniature computer. Numbers glowed on its screen in the dim light.
She quietly input digits. After a long time, she finally looked up and said, "Bo Qing has set up at least several hundred obstacles. It’s not impossible to bypass them, but it would take at least half a month. And he could modify them in the meantime."
Bo Xichen spoke in a low voice, "So, we have to rely on Song Jia?"
Gu Anxi nodded, then reassembled her device and said softly, "Have Father Bo withdraw. Tomorrow morning, Song Jia will have no choice but to confess."
Bo Xichen gazed at her for a moment, then lowered his head to send a message to Bo Nianyao. Afterward, he said softly, "Let’s withdraw from the Dark’s territory for now. We’ll come back tomorrow night."
They would likely be hunted all the next day.
Gu Anxi hummed in agreement and left with him. Outside, they met Bo Nianyao again. The three of them found a place to rest, continuously monitoring the activities within Dark.
「The next day.」
Bo Qing got up early and discovered the doctor was missing. He rushed to Gu Anxi’s room to find Song Jia tied up on the floor, her mouth covered with tape.
Bo Qing tore off the tape, asking in a low voice, "Where are they?"
Song Jia, having no other choice, spoke as soon as she was free, "Gu Anxi escaped. I also accidentally discovered Bo Xichen here, and that doctor... he’s Bo Nianyao."
Bo Qing watched her quietly for a long moment before finally asking, "You only just found out?"
Song Jia’s heart thumped. She confessed, "I knew some of it before, but... I was the one who injured Gu Anxi. I was afraid she’d tell you, Senior Brother, so I kept quiet. I hoped to tell you after the doctor had healed her. Who knew they were all lying? She was almost fully recovered last night."
"She isn’t fully healed, just able to walk and run, that’s all." Bo Qing’s voice was very low. After a moment, he rose and ordered those outside to search for the three Bo Family members.
Song Jia shook her hands free, walked out, and asked tentatively, "Will they disrupt our plans?"
Bo Qing regarded her silently. "She didn’t harm you. It seems she knows threatening you is useless."
He patted her shoulder lightly. "Senior Brother trusts you."
Song Jia’s heart finally settled, and she felt a sense of relief.
Bo Qing told her to go back and rest. She also wanted to wash up properly and check if her face was truly as sallow as Gu Anxi had claimed. She didn’t believe it.
But she had only just reached her room when she received a message.
It was from Gu Anxi.
She assumed it was some threatening message. But when she opened it, she found a series of photos of Zhou Yunchen: from his childhood to his spirited days in England, and even photos of him with Gu Anxi, arms around each other, looking very close.
Song Jia instantly recalled what Gu Anxi had said—
"You haven’t experienced a brother’s love, of course, you wouldn’t understand the feeling."
Haha, this was all just Gu Anxi trying to scare and deceive her! She refused to believe Gu Anxi would let everyone in Beicheng die with her. Song Jia no longer bothered with the mirror. She opened her computer, accessed a certain system, and then gasped.
Beicheng’s main gates were wide open, the system completely shut down!
She spat out, "Gu Anxi, that lunatic!"
Meanwhile, Gu Anxi was watching Song Jia on her screen and chuckled. ’Password acquired!’
Song Jia probably never imagined that I installed a 720-degree omnidirectional camera in her room. Trying to match wits and emotional intelligence with me? Ten incompetent Song Jias wouldn’t even be worthy.
Bo Nianyao, who was beside her, looked on in astonishment.
Heavens, the kid is truly amazing!
He praised her profusely. This is my family’s kid! So he went over to give her a hug.
A hug from Father Bo.
Bo Xichen stood to the side, looking rather awkward.
The Little Milk Devil’s face flushed red as she protested, "I’m grown up now!"
Bo Nianyao chuckled. "Just got excited for a moment, just for a moment."
Gu Anxi then said, "We not only need to shut down the system, but we also have to capture Bo Qing."
She looked at the Bo father and son.
Bo Nianyao stroked his beard. "This... Xichen will have to do it. I’m old and weak..."
