Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 110 The Marshal Insists on Hindering Me (35)

"Your Highness, one of your comrades is looking for you outside. He says his name is Shen Nian."

Why would Shen Nian come to see him at this time? Shi Qi, filled with doubt, welcomed Shen Nian, who had come alone.

Today, Shen Nian was no longer his usual carefree self. As soon as he entered Shi Qi's study, he asked with a serious expression, "Brother Shi, have you been investigating the Prime Minister's crimes lately?"

Shi Qi asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

007's eyes widened: "Holy crap, is he a bad guy?"

Shi Qi said, "Don't make wild guesses. He doesn't seem like he has any ill intentions."

Upon hearing Shi Qi's question, Shen Nian did not hide anything: "Because I have been keeping an eye on the Prime Minister..."

Suddenly, Shen Nian knelt down directly in front of Shi Qi, which startled both Shi Qi and 007. Shi Qi hurriedly reached out to help her up, but he couldn't lift Shen Nian, who was determined to kneel.

"What are you doing?" Shi Qi asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, at this moment, there are only ministers who wish to appeal to the monarch, not our brothers from Planet S!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qi straightened his expression and, no longer intending to help him up, earnestly asked, "What injustice have you suffered?"

Shen Nian told Shi Qi what had happened to him: "I was born into the prestigious Shen family on the capital planet. My father was a councilor named Shen who was sentenced to death five years ago for treason, along with his entire family. I was fortunate enough to escape this fate because I was on another planet. In order to reduce my presence, I hid my A-level alpha identity and lived as a B-level alpha."

"Although on the surface this matter does seem to be my father's responsibility, I swear on my life that my father was framed by the Prime Minister because he refused to follow him. I have evidence of all the Prime Minister's crimes over the years, which I will submit to you. I only hope that you can seek justice for all those who died tragically and restore their innocence!"

Hearing these heartfelt words, Shi Qi nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you! I will do my best to expose the Prime Minister's true colors!"

Everything seems to make sense now. Why was Shen Nian willingly using the original owner of this body, even treating the original owner's words as gospel, all while the original owner was merely using him? Because he carried the burden of a blood feud, the original owner, as the second prince, was the most likely candidate to bring down Shi Shuo's faction. Therefore, he was willing to sacrifice everything, even his dignity. It's likely that the original Shen Nian deeply regretted his actions the moment he died as cannon fodder.

Having received Shi Qi's promise, Shen Nian stood up and handed him an electronic pocket watch: "All the evidence is in its hidden compartment..."

Before he could finish speaking, the study door was kicked open, and Shi Qi quickly put the pocket watch away.

The newcomer was the unfamiliar man beside Shi Shuo. Upon seeing him, Shen Nian couldn't help but take two steps back, because this man always gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Shi Qi gently steadied the unsteady Shen Nian, then questioned, "How dare you! How dare you trespass into my study!" Shi Qi pressed a button, summoning the nearby guards. It seemed he had searched for two days without success before finally arriving here.

The guards arrived quickly, and Shi Qi immediately ordered the capture of the man before him. Knowing that the Insect King's physical strength wasn't that great, he figured that perhaps a large number of people could capture him.

Unexpectedly, a flash of golden light appeared in his originally dark eyes, and all the guards who entered collapsed. If it weren't for Shi Qi protecting him, Shen Nian might not still be standing here unharmed.

I never expected his mental strength to be so terrifying, but it's no wonder he can control such a massive number of insect soldiers.

Shen Nian, standing beside Shi Qi and clutching the man who was in pain, asked softly, "Brother Shi, who is he?"

Shi Qi didn't look at him, but simply shook his head slightly. Knowing the vast difference in their strength, Shi Qi asked with feigned composure, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

"Give me back the person..." When he looked at Shi Qi again, his eyes were as if he were looking at some dead thing.

His punctuation suggested he hadn't fully mastered human language, so Shi Qi feigned ignorance and asked, "Who? I didn't know I had the person you wanted here."

The man's expression grew even colder, his beautiful pupils turning completely golden, filled with an inhuman aura: "Don't lie to me. I can smell his scent."

He seemed to have no intention of concealing his inhuman nature anymore, perhaps because he had already anticipated that Shen Nian and Shi Ji would no longer pose a threat to him, and that the laws of the empire were ineffective against him.

Shi Qi quietly put his left hand behind his back and used his smart device to send a message to his emergency contact. As soon as the call connected, Shi Qi quickly hung up. He thought Qi Ye would understand what he meant.

"Okay... I'll take you to him..."

Fearing he would be deceived by cunning humans, he added a threat: "If you lie to me again, I'll kill you."

Shi Qi raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender: "I promise I won't lie to you this time." Then he walked past Shen Nian to a bookshelf, pulled out a book from the top, and a secret passage leading downwards appeared in front of the three of them.

Shi Qi turned around and looked at the man: "He's right down here." Then, she winked at Shen Nian, signaling him to leave first.

Shen Nian knew that staying here wouldn't help Shi Qi, so he could only obediently leave and see if he could find an opportunity to go outside and bring reinforcements for Shi Qi.

The man didn't go down directly, but pointed at Shi Qi and said, "You, go down first."

Shi Qi raised an eyebrow, turned around, and slowly led the way: "He does have some brains... Dog, look in the system shop for any items that can effectively prevent mental attacks. Once he finds Shi Shuo, he definitely won't let me off the hook."

007 said he had extensive experience browsing the system's online store: "Leave it to me!" After saying that, he quickly started searching.

Realizing that Shi Qi in front of him might be stalling for time, the man behind him spoke fiercely: "Hurry up, don't try anything funny!"

To prevent him from suddenly going berserk, Shi Qi had no choice but to quicken his pace. Soon, the two arrived at the dark room where Shi Shuo was tied up.

Seeing Shi Shuo lying on the ground, the man ignored Shi Qi, helped Shi Shuo up, and then forcefully broke the ropes binding him.

Shi Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. Wasn't it said that his physical body wasn't strong?

Just then, 007's voice rang out: "Host found! But this pendant requires 15,000 villain points..."

Shi Qi: "Give it to me quickly! Villain points can be earned again, but if you lose your life, we'll meet again in the next world."

Shi Shuo, who had been fast asleep, woke up and looked at the handsome face in front of him, asking in confusion, "Thanatos? What brings you here?"
