They noticed that the settlement for this mission was different from previous ones. Points were deducted for the time spent in the glowing area, with more points deducted the longer they stayed. Fortunately, they had chosen to attack directly in the end. Otherwise, following this rule, they would have seen a significant deduction in points.
“It’s Sunflower and Bluesea who were clever enough to understand this and attack directly. Otherwise, we would have lost more points for this mission,”
Xu Yuan complimented.
Xiao Lei gave him a disdainful look. “You seem to have a talent for sweet-talking people. At least you’re good at flattery.”
Xia Rui chimed in with a message, “Let’s give Sunflower and Bluesea a round of applause!”
Qi Shuo’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected Xia Rui to be so expressive.
Song Fan and Gu Chen didn’t react much to the compliments. Gu Chen was used to their playful banter, while Song Fan was confident in her field of expertise and took the compliments in stride.
After a mission with the team, Song Fan felt that teaming up was a feasible option. She discussed it with Hua Yue, and the next day, ‘Future City’ released a teaming test version. Players could now choose whether to team up for missions. The difficulty and rewards for single-player and team missions were different, allowing players to decide based on their preferences.
Xiao Lei found it a bit coincidental that this feature was added right after they had experimented with forming a team the day before.
“I think Sunflower might have some connection with Star Technologies. Even if she’s not an employee, she might be a partner or something. Otherwise, how would she know exactly when to go to a new map every time and introduce a new team option so quickly?” Qi Shuo speculated.
Gu Chen didn’t say anything, but he was quite certain that Sunflower had ties to Star Technologies. Moreover, he believed she wasn’t just an employee but possibly an internal programmer. His interactions with her had given him the impression that she wasn’t someone who easily submitted to others.
Meanwhile, at the Song family’s residence, the police arrived with a search warrant. The servants were perplexed and dared not obstruct them.
Since Song Ting hadn’t returned from his night shift the previous day. The servants could only rush upstairs to find Song Yin as quickly as possible.
“Miss, there are so many policemen outside. What should we do?” one of the servants asked, feeling flustered.
The makeup brush slipped from Song Yin’s hand, and panic set in as she realized the potential consequences of her actions. She hurriedly picked up her phone and called her mother. Meng Yu tried to reassure her, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve already taken care of it. Just act as though you don’t know anything.”
After several calming words from her mother, Song Yin began to regain her composure. She then opened her door and approached the police outside.
“What’s happening?”
The police presented a search warrant and entered the room to search. Eventually, they discovered the computer in Song Yin’s room.
“Whose computer is this?” inquired the police officer after confirming the computer’s presence.
Song Yin feigned ignorance and replied, “It’s mine. Is there a problem?”
“We received a report about a false rumor posted online. The IP address leads to this computer, so we’ll need you to come with us to the police station for further questioning,” the police officer explained.
In a panic, Song Yin responded, “I don’t know anything about it. I have nothing to do with those rumors.”
However, the police insisted on taking Song Yin to the police station for questioning, as it was standard procedure in such cases.
In the midst of this, Song Ting returned home from work. Upon witnessing the situation, he quickly inquired about the circumstances. After learning what had happened, he reassured his sister, saying, “Yin Yin, go with them for now. The police won’t falsely accuse you.”
Song Yin nodded and added, “Please come and pick me up as soon as possible. I genuinely don’t know anything about this.”
Song Ting rushed to the police station after changing into suitable attire, even securing a lawyer to accompany him.
Meanwhile, Song Fan observed the scene through the surveillance camera at the Song family’s entrance and smirked, “It seems that Song Yin has already found a scapegoat. She doesn’t appear flustered at all.”
Song Fan didn’t intend to press charges against Song Yin. With Meng Yu’s support behind her, Song Yin was unlikely to face severe consequences. However, given Song Yin’s nature, she was bound to stir up trouble. There might come a day when even Meng Yu couldn’t salvage the situation, which would be disastrous.
Song Fan’s strategy was to make Song Yin believe that no matter what she did, Meng Yu would always come to her aid.
When a person becomes unscrupulous, even divine intervention cannot save them…
