Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 361

Sheng Nuan used dreams to explain why she could foresee the future, and at the same time explained why she had prepared in advance.

Sheng Qingfeng obviously needed some time to digest all of this, but Sheng Nuan knew he had already sent the blueprints to Sheng Military Industries.

Aside from the one old chief engineer she had warned about, the rest were long-time employees of Sheng Military Industries. Their families’ younger generations all worked there too, sharing common interests and roots. They were completely trustworthy.

She could also imagine how shocked those old chief engineers were when they saw that entire set of blueprints…

A day later, Yuan Wenbin’s scandal broke out.

Because he had tried to harm his own son, Xu Lan went straight back to her maiden family. Her father had once been a major general in the military. Although he was retired, he still had his connections. The Xu family spared no effort in dealing a crushing blow to this white-eyed wolf.

In the Alliance’s officialdom, it was like a pack of jackals. When one person fell, everyone else swarmed forward. Those who could eat meat would eat meat; those who could not would at least want to have some soup.

Everything Yuan Wenbin had done was thoroughly exposed, and the most heinous of all was his private mining operation… and then capturing black-market miners to dig for him.

In the video, there were thousands of miners rescued from Yuan Wenbin’s private mines. Some of them were entire families taken. To avoid discovery, everyone was forced to live in caves.

Men, women, the elderly, and children—every one of them in the video was emaciated, their eyes filled with despair, numbness, and a deep fear for the future.

The news was discussing how to arrange for these people…

According to Alliance regulations, they would check where these people came from and send them back to their original planets.

But many of these people were stowaways or refugees who had lost their homes due to Zerg invasions, left with nowhere to go. Sending them back to their devastated homelands would only force them to wander again in order to survive.

They might be caught by another black market mine, or even fall into becoming interstellar pirates.

The Alliance was holding a meeting to discuss the arrangements for these thousands of people…

When this news was broadcast, Sheng Nuan, Sheng Siyang, and Huo Ling were having breakfast together.

Seeing those emaciated and despairing people on the screen, Huo Ling’s movements as he ate suddenly froze, and his expression grew somewhat grim.

He thought of the time after his own homeland was destroyed, how he had drifted from place to place… Who would have thought that the Alliance, touted by the media as wealthy every day, could not even accommodate these homeless souls?

He had seen too much death and degradation…

Sheng Nuan accidentally caught sight of the sadness in Huo Ling’s eyes.

She paused, then suddenly asked customer service: “In the original storyline, can I inquire about Huo Ling’s hidden data?”

In fact, back on White Lion Star, she had already felt something was off.

In the original plot, Huo Ling was a villain who would bring in Zerg to slaughter an entire planet just to seize power. But after all this contact, aside from being somewhat theatrical and vengeful, he had not shown any signs of being a heinous, anti-human monster.

In fact, back on White Lion Star, he had risked his life to save a child he had just met by chance… She kept feeling that someone like him would not commit genocide by inciting Zerg against humanity.

Customer service responded: “I will apply for inquiry.”

Sheng Nuan acknowledged with a hum and continued watching the news in silence as she ate.

She had a preliminary idea about where to place those black-market miners…

A moment later, customer service spoke urgently: “Host, I found the hidden data. It was not Huo Ling who brought the Zerg to slaughter that city, it was Qin Ji. Qin Ji colluded with the Zerg to surround that planet and threatened that if Huo Ling did not withdraw his forces and admit that he himself had summoned the Zerg, they would destroy the planet.”

The tone of the customer service was also filled with shock: “Huo Ling bore that inhumane infamy to protect those innocent people…”

Sheng Nuan was astonished but somehow not surprised.

One person who appeared gloomy was actually kind at heart, and another who appeared gentlemanly was actually hypocritical and cold-blooded…

And as for the Alliance’s story… hasn’t history always been written by the victors?

In that struggle, Huo Ling lost because of his humanity and kindness, so the pen that wrote the history ended up in Qin Ji’s hands.

Beside her, Huo Ling withdrew his gaze from the TV news, frowned slightly, and seemed to hesitate.

He knew that after what happened that night in the Blue Palace, Sheng Nuan would not trust him easily anymore… and from that incident, he also realized that Sheng Nuan was not a big-breasted but brainless person she appeared on the surface.

How could they be that big… Wait, that was not what he should be thinking right now!

Huo Ling knew that the Yuan Wenbin incident had been caused by Sheng Nuan. So it was possible that his past behavior of feeding her bewitching soup might not have gone unnoticed. Because of this, he had restrained himself these past two days and no longer treated her like a big-breasted… a fool to deceive.

But now, seeing so many people, including hundreds of children who didn’t even understand what was happening… Given the Alliance officials’ usual behavior, they would most likely send them back, calling it “returning home.”

As for whether they could survive once they got home, that was their own problem.

The rebel army was still not fully stabilized internally, so he could not shelter so many people. Moreover, for ordinary people, getting involved with a rebel army with an unknown future might not be a good thing.

As Sheng Siyang went to the kitchen to refill the soup, Huo Ling hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked Sheng Nuan, “Miss, can you help them?”

Sheng Nuan looked up and saw Huo Ling’s face, entirely harmless and sincere. “If they are sent back, many of them will die… Miss has always been kind. Can you help them?”

If nothing else, the Sheng family had money, and Huo Ling knew that the development of that vacation planet by Sheng Qingfeng would also require manpower. If those people could get a legitimate job opportunity that allowed them to survive, they would certainly cherish it.

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue. “Here we go again, trying to pour me bewitching soup again.”

The encounter in the Blue Palace had essentially ended their mutually performative way of interacting. Sheng Nuan spread her hands. “Alright, tell me, what are you trying to trick me into this time?”

Huo Ling withdrew that pitiful, tea-like face, a bit helpless. “Really nothing this time. I just think that the Sheng family now needs people to work, and those people need food to survive. Taking them in would also be good for the Sheng family’s reputation, wouldn’t it?”

If Sheng Nuan was not just big-breasted and brainless, she would know he was speaking the truth…

Huo Ling could not help sneaking another glance at her.

Since that day in the Blue Palace, when he was flicked in the face again, it was different from the sensation last time in the hotel bathtub through the fabric—he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it.

Such a small face, how could there be something so big—cough… this isn’t the time to be thinking about that.

The next moment, he heard Sheng Nuan ponder, “Since you have opened your mouth, it’s not like I can’t do this favor. How about this, I’ll have my dad arrange for them, and you give me a written guarantee.”

Huo Ling showed a look of vigilance. “What kind of guarantee?”

Sheng Nuan said, “Just write this: To thank Sheng Nuan for her help on the XX day of Alliance Calendar, I will, from now on, agree unconditionally to one request from Sheng Nuan, no matter what happens in the future.”

This way, when the rebel army eventually entered the Imperial Star in the future, it would be like the Sheng family holding a lifetime immunity pass.

But Huo Ling was not that easy to fool. He was suspicious and tested, “What do you mean by no matter what happens?”

Sheng Nuan sighed slowly and clicked her tongue. “Ah, I always considered you one of my own, sharing life and death. When you asked me before, I saved people for you with just one word. But now, you can’t even trust me… I saved you and helped you, would I harm you?”

She shook her head. “Forget it, let’s not talk about it. I guess I have given my trust to the wrong person…”

Huo Ling’s mouth twitched, he paused, then said, “Fine, I agree to it. But this so-called agreement to one request must be something within my ability.”

Sheng Nuan immediately said, “Deal!”
