Qin Anqian looked up at Qing Yue, hesitating, "You don't actually have feelings for that NPC, do you?"
Qing Yue pursed her lips, her expression conflicted, but she still nodded.
"Yes! I'm seriously dating her right now."
Qin Anqian's expression held a hint of surprise, "Not for a mission, but genuinely like her?"
"Mhm," Qing Yue nodded firmly.
Qin Anqian twirled the pen in her hand, appearing troubled, but in the end, her emotions won out. She hinted obliquely, "You could go look at the lawsuit against our CEO Nan that not many people knew about. Perhaps there's something you want to know in there."
"Thank you!" Qing Yue bowed to her and turned to leave in a hurry.
Behind her, Qin Anqian sighed helplessly. She respected all personal preferences, but perhaps she bore some responsibility for this matter.
As everyone knows, netizens are omnipotent.
With the explosive popularity of this full-immersion game worldwide, various company details were quickly unearthed, including the fact that CEO Nan's father was sued.
Yin She, warned by Nan Changji, acted with extreme discretion, but this did not escape the all-knowing netizens.
【Shocking! Game Company CEO Sued, the Reason Behind It Is...】
Such a leading phrase instantly attracted a lot of attention.
And with the support of the vast majority of netizens, it rocketed to the top of the trending search list.
Before Qing Yue could investigate, the clue was delivered directly to her. Naturally, she clicked on it without hesitation.
She was very intelligent and sensed something unusual from it. Why the low-key lawsuit? Was it fear of affecting the company?
Absolutely not. How could a youth who hated the company director care about the company?
Therefore, it was more likely that he was simply a pawn.
She knew that CEO Nan had sons, and not just one. However, there was only one who could legitimately inherit his assets: Nan Changji.
And since CEO Nan's incident, he had not appeared at the company. Yet, the news said he had established a new game company named Xinyu Games. All of this undoubtedly indicated that his father's affairs were inseparable from him.
But what did this have to do with the game?
Qing Yue was very confused. Qin Anqian wouldn't have asked her to look at someone's lawsuit for no reason, so the content of the lawsuit might be related to the game.
Qing Yue felt her consciousness was clearer than ever. The biggest problem with this game was that the NPCs had awakened self-awareness. This news might be known to higher-ups, who would find it valuable for research. She accurately assessed her position; she was certainly not qualified to challenge them.
She drove to the court and, pretending to be a friend of the plaintiff, inquired about him subtly and directly.
"I'm sorry, the plaintiff's information is strictly confidential," the court staff member said with a polite smile.
"It's like this, actually, actually..." Qing Yue's eyes reddened, as if struggling whether to speak. Finally, she gritted her teeth and took the staff member's hand, saying,
"I don't want to trouble you, but, but I haven't seen him in a long time. I finally found a bit of his information online, and I really had no choice but to bother you."
"He's my boyfriend. We were about to get married, and then he suddenly said he had something to do and disappeared. He wouldn't answer my calls. We were all very worried about him. I just want his new contact information to clarify everything." Qing Yue's expression was sorrowful.
The staff member hesitated. It sounded reasonable, and it was just a phone number, not an address or anything. What harm would it do to give it to her?
She gritted her teeth, her heart softening, "Then please wait here for a moment. I'll copy down his phone number for you."
"Okay, thank you, sister. If I find him, I'll definitely come back and give you a red envelope," Qing Yue said sincerely.
"No need!" The staff member waved her hand and winked playfully. "We don't accept bribes here. Your intention is enough."
Qing Yue got the phone number, thanked the staff member again, and dialed the number on her phone.
"Who is it?" a slightly annoyed voice answered from the other end.
"Hello, is this Yin She, Mr. Yin?" Qing Yue asked formally.
"Mhm, it is. Who is this?" Yin She on the other end looked at the unfamiliar number and asked again, confused.
"It's like this, I'm a staff member at the court. You left some things here. Do you have time to come and get them?" Qing Yue suppressed her nervousness and spoke calmly.
"What things? I don't think so! I don't have time to go," Yin She's voice became increasingly anxious.
"It's like this, sir. We cannot store your items here temporarily. How about this, please give me an address, and I'll mail them to you?" Qing Yue said formally.
This was mainly thanks to her previous experience as a customer service representative; she handled this well.
Yin She was anxiously awaiting news from his superiors. At this moment, he didn't think much and casually gave his address.
Following the address, Qing Yue went directly to Yin She's doorstep.
Yin She's expression was bewildered when Qing Yue pinned him to the ground with a grappling hold.
"Who are you?" Yin She was not weak, but he couldn't exert any strength while being pinned like this.
Qing Yue cautiously closed the door and then deftly took out ropes from her person, tying him up securely.
Although trespassing was not good, she had no other choice now.
"Listen carefully! Now, I ask, you answer." Qing Yue picked up a fruit knife from the table and threatened him sternly.
Yin She's eyes were confused, "Who are you? A kidnapper? You don't look like one."
"I ask, you answer!" Qing Yue gritted her teeth, slapped the table, and menacingly brought the knife closer to Yin She's neck.
Although Yin She felt no killing intent from the girl in front of him, she looked very angry, and an accident could happen if he wasn't careful.
"Alright, alright, you speak," Yin She conceded.
Although his attitude was not like that of a hostage, Qing Yue didn't have time to think too much.
"You sued the CEO of that game company? Why? On what grounds?"
Yin She didn't mind answering other questions, but on this matter, he gritted his teeth and refused to reveal a single word.
Qing Yue became even angrier. The tip of the knife accidentally cut Yin She's skin. She said coldly, "Either speak, or die. You choose."
