Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 840 - 367: Yunjing University (2)

Guo Daoqian still stared fiercely at Chen Gu, but as Chen Gu executed his professional skills and read through all his memories, Guo Daoqian's gaze gradually became dazed.His fate would be the same as Fanmier's, ultimately becoming a vegetable.

For Chen Gu, a character of Guo Daoqian's level was no longer worth paying attention to, previously he hesitated because of concerns.

Now that it was confirmed they didn't know his real secret, he acted without restraint. Even if someone wanted to use them against him and restored their memories using a more powerful Brain Domain Hacker, the intelligence gained wouldn't pose any lethal threat to him.

After the last interrogation of Guo Daoqian, Chen Gu got up and left, saying to the Bureau of Mystic Security staff outside, "I used some professional techniques for interrogation; Guo Daoqian resisted intensely. I really underestimated him. There was a bit of an accident in the middle; you guys handle it."

The members of several action teams nodded and went in without asking further questions.

Chen Gu waited for more than an hour at the Capital Star, and Aviloya didn't come looking for him to question, which was enough to show that the matters of Fanmier and Guo Daoqian were closed.

Only then did Chen Gu board the spaceship to Yunjing Star. On the way, Chen Gu called Bai Yunpeng: "Marshal Bai, are you coming to the All-Star Event? I have tickets."

Bai Yunpeng regretfully replied, "Of course, I want to go, but I'm too busy lately to get away."

Involving military secrets, Bai Yunpeng did not say explicitly. The two chatted briefly and hung up the phone. Chen Gu could also guess, last time he and Milgray brought back a real Insect Queen's corpse; the military must be racing against time to study it, and it might yield results soon.

...

Chen Gu hung up the phone, contemplating the Yunjing University case on the way.

From Guo Daoqian's memories, Chen Gu learned everything he wanted to know. The librarian who was assassinated was named An Huairen; he was one hundred and seven years old before being murdered. He was highly respected at the school and was previously a mentor at the school.

He later underwent a serious car accident, and his body suffered eye injuries. Although there was no major concern after treatment, he became somewhat indifferent and applied to retire in the library, preparing to retire around one hundred and twenty years old.

The elderly gentleman had already mapped out plans to travel the Star Sea upon retirement.

An Huairen and his wife divorced when they were in their seventies. They had three children—two sons and a daughter—all settled down with families, none of whom were on Yunjing Star.

The ex-wife remarried, and old An Huairen was also "unreconciled to being outdone." It's said that when he was a mentor, he had ambiguous relationships with some of his female students and even cohabited with a female assistant researcher in the laboratory for a few years.

This old sea dragon of a character likely wouldn't travel the Star Sea alone.

Yet after he went to the school library, he remained low-key, without rumors involving any other female.

When the original lead executed the mission, he forged a student identity, infiltrated the library office, and used a new deadly fast-acting poison in An Huairen's water cup, killing him.

The mission commission was taken by Guo Daoqian from an intermediary agency.

The so-called "agency" was an organization that arranged jobs for assassins. They didn't show up and had their own operational model, with a webshop on the intergalactic internet where transaction volume wasn't high.

They disguised assassination missions as "small commodities" for sale on their webshop using various cryptic phrases, and further discussions were handled through emails.

So, in fact, regarding this assassination mission, Guo Daoqian didn't know much either. Chen Gu had to investigate on his own after reaching Yunjing Star.

Fortunately, not much time had passed since the incident, so he should still be able to find some clues.

...

The Alliance had already prepared everything on Yunjing Star.

When Chen Gu landed, the Alliance specially sent staff to pick him up. Before he even stepped out of the spaceport, he could see many gigantic holographic posters about this All-Star Event.

All four Star Nations had their own All-Star Events, so there was competition among them. Every year's All-Star Event was a secret battle among Alliances.

It also served as a rehearsal for the Beast Emperor Decision; whichever alliance could dominate the ratings for the All-Star Event would have boosted their momentum before the Beast Emperor Decision.

This year, the Confederation Alliance was determined to win the Beast Emperor Decision, therefore investing in the All-Star Event regardless of cost.

It's said that on Yunjing Star alone, they recruited forty thousand volunteers!

Chen Gu initially didn't have much of a "big star" awareness, but as soon as he got off the spaceship, he saw himself featured as one of the key promotional figures on the giant poster outside!

Chen Gu immediately felt that he was too rash, appearing unmasked on Yunjing Star, fearing he would be mobbed by fans as soon as he left the spaceport.

Outside the spaceport, a large crowd of fans gathered.

The Alliance sent a team specifically stationed here, accompanied by over a hundred volunteers, responsible for welcoming the star players of the Giant Beast Match.

The team leader was Sean, an over fifty-year-old Alliance media official with a not-so-high position in the Alliance but who worked diligently.

The reception was on its fourth day, and many star players who had light schedules came early as a prelude to a vacation.
