Transmigrating into a Book: Beating Up the Little Tyrant Today

"What's wrong?"

"If I said it was intuition, would you be speechless?"

Blizzard carefully recalled Li Nan's reaction just now and felt that something was wrong; he was acting too abnormally.

"I have no evidence, so I can't say anything recklessly. He's not in the same hotel as us either. I can only try to see him during the competition tomorrow and find an opportunity to ask him. Qiu Shiyue's side is about to run out of time."

Back home, her parents called the coach, demanding that he severely punish Qiu Shiyue.

The coach naturally couldn't tolerate this kind of behavior, but Qiu Shiyue denied hitting the snowstorm when she covered her face and ran back to the dormitory. So, she was punished by having to run and write a self-criticism.

After a series of tests, Qiu Shiyue still refused to admit it, and the inspection team only agreed to write an apology for her not training properly and slacking off. In addition, since she didn't go home during the blizzard but went to Anshan instead, the coach became a little suspicious.

Why didn't you go home if you were being bullied? What were you doing in Anshan?

Who exactly is in Anshan?

Blizzard heard from Da Di that Qiu Shiyue had put in a lot of effort to write a 5,000-word self-criticism, and given her level of writing, it should be ready by noon tomorrow.

Therefore, I need to find Qiu Shiyue's inside man before noon tomorrow, seize her incriminating evidence, and prevent her from distributing the video.

The night sky was filled with countless stars, but the blizzard did not sleep peacefully.

-

Li Nan was planning to leave.

Qiu Shiyue didn't reply, and they couldn't contact President Qiu. He didn't have enough money to continue here.

At 10 a.m., Jiang Hao, the team leader of their four-person volunteer group, called him by voice to ask why he hadn't arrived at the meeting point yet.

He replied that he was going back to school and that his work badge and uniform would be sent over later.

Volunteers are required to sign agreements, which include confidentiality and work-related clauses. Quitting midway through the program can disrupt work arrangements and make temporary reassignment inconvenient.

But Li Nan's reason was to go back to school, and she couldn't very well stop him from going back, especially since he hadn't signed the agreement.

Li Nan checked out of the room, carrying a backpack containing two pieces of clothing and the study materials he had brought for President Qiu, though they hadn't been very effective.

Several days have passed since the start of the new semester, but he still hasn't returned to school. His teachers are urging him, his friends are asking about him, but he ignores all of Jiang Yang's greetings.

Stepping out of the hotel, the sun shone brightly, warming everything in the world, except for him, who always lived in the shade.

With his parents still alive, he was an only child, excelled academically, and had close friends. It's hard to believe that someone described with these qualities would go hungry in the 21st century.

He walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus, then sent Jiang Yang his first message in several days.

I seem to be doing something wrong.

"What? You mean Li Nan left at 10 o'clock?!"

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded. “He said school started, so he came to deliver the things and left. It’s already 11:30, so he’s probably already on the train.”

Frustration, regret, and helplessness swept over the entire blizzard.

She didn't see him when she arrived in the morning, and was thinking of looking for him after Sasha finished her morning competition, but little did she know that Li Nan had left early.

That shouldn't be the case. There are still matches to come. Why did he suddenly leave?

"Was his sudden departure permitted?"

“We can’t stop someone from leaving if they have something to do. I understand what you mean; each volunteer has different work arrangements, and suddenly having one less person is a bit inconvenient. These things were stipulated when the agreement was signed, but—”

Yesterday, she and Sasha were joking around, and Jiang Hao even reached out to check if Blizzard had a microphone. The two had become a bit more familiar with each other, and Jiang Hao talked more.

She covered her mouth and whispered, "He wasn't originally supposed to be here. I heard he was suddenly brought in by one of the investors."

"It's not like I'm going to play any important role. I'm just a volunteer. I can come and go as I please. It's not that simple. And if I leave as soon as I want, what can you do about it?"

"He left suddenly, and he came suddenly. There was no agreement signed, and we can't even prohibit him from signing up for volunteer work in the future."

Blizzard astutely picked up on a piece of information: "You mean, he was suddenly brought in by the investors?"

Jiang Hao: "Yes, the girl who was originally supposed to be there was my junior. She took the spot from me and cried her heart out."

Blizzard is now certain that Li Nan is either Qiu Shiyue's mole or has some connection to her.

Jiang Hao didn't have Li Nan's phone number, only his WeChat. Blizzard added him but didn't accept, so he added a note saying he had an urgent matter and wrote his own phone number, hoping Li Nan would call back. But after a long time, there was still no response, so Jiang Hao went to take care of other things.

Blizzard was overwhelmed and felt uncomfortable leaning against the wall. Sasha suggested they eat first, but Blizzard had lost all interest.

She didn't leave, holding her phone and waiting for Li Nan's reply, when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.

"It's not true, even if it's being spread, it's not true."

Sasha squeezed her shoulder. "Even if you get criticized, it won't be true. If the video gets leaked, I'm not afraid of being investigated. The criticism will pass quickly. I don't want to see you so anxious. Let it be. Come on, let's go eat."

"Going with the flow is because of helplessness. I don't want to be powerless, I don't want to be."

Blizzard straightened up, covered Sasha's hand with his own, felt the real warmth in her palm, and then removed Sasha's hand with determination in his eyes.

“He’s gone, so I’ll go look for him and ask him. Besides, I’m not completely ignorant now.”

I knew he was arranged by the investors, so I went to find the investors, one after another. I believed there must be some clues that would allow me to find him.

He's still in school; I can go to his school. I refuse to believe no one knows him.

Blizzard turned and left.
