Chapter 393 The Oscars for Best Actor and Actress

This was the first time Ren Baqian had been rejected by a girl.
For a moment, even the killing intent in his head dissipated.
Instead, his mind was filled with question marks.
After sitting down for a while, Ren Baqian couldn't help but laugh.
He was neither embarrassed nor annoyed since he had never had that intention at all.
As a result, the development of this issue made him feel that it was rather interesting.
Also, it was somewhat of a pity.
He wanted to have a chat with her first before deciding how to deal with her.
Ren Baqian even thought of providing for her. One million yuan a year? Ten million yuan a year?
In this world, money didn't hold any significance for him.
By keeping a younger version of the empress with him, perhaps she might be useful in the future.
He wouldn't touch her, and it would be sufficient as long as nobody else touched her.
Unfortunately, she had ruined this opportunity.
She had destroyed her own path.
Since the other party wasn't willing to talk, in that case, there wasn't any need to talk anymore. He had better kill her. Ren Baqian threw money on the table and walked out of the cafe with a smile on his face. He couldn't see Qi Jiayu in the surroundings anymore.
He drove to the main gate of SH University, found a location where he could see the entire gate, and parked his car there.He reclined his seat and then used his phone to play an old song, "Trouble Caused by the Moon."
[As seen in Chapter 244, it's a hit song from Phil Zhang, a Taiwanese singer]
Listening to the familiar tune, Ren Baqian gently shook his leg and took out his pistol with one hand. He then wiped it with paper before placing it at the back of his waist. After that, he reclined the seat backward like a bed.
After waiting for almost two hours, Ren Baqian saw a figure wearing a white lace shirt and a floral skirt appear at the gate."It's all your fault and the moon caused trouble…" Ren Baqian hummed and got out of his car. With both hands stuffed into his pants pockets, he walked toward the direction of the university's gate.
Should I use the gun… or my bare hands? Ren Baqian pondered as he walked. It would be louder if he used a gun. In the end, it was still better to use his hands.
However, just when he was about to cross the road, he was stopped by someone.
"Mr. Ren!"
Ren Baqian tilted his head and looked at the three people who had stopped him. They had a familiar scent, which was the scent of people working for the nation.
They arrived so quickly.—have they been following me?
Does the other party know what am I planning to do? "Mr. Ren, our chief wants to have a word with you." One of them took out a phone, dialed a number, and placed the phone on Ren Baqian's ear.
"Mr. Ren, remember the things that you have promised the nation." Yang Sen's voice came through the phone.
"What?" Ren Baqian replied him with a question.
"You promised the nation that you will not kill anyone. I hope that you can keep your word. You are an extraordinary person. It isn't worth destroying your reputation for a small matter or worth affecting our collaboration," Yang Sen warned."Why do you say that?" Ren Baqian asked in a very gentle voice. He wanted to sound out what the other party knew."In any case, we don't want to see Qi Jiayu get harmed. She is just an ordinary person. Although she looks like that person, she is just an ordinary girl in today's society and doesn't exist in the same world as you," Yang Sen continued.
Ren Baqian laughed. He then said, "I wouldn't affect any of you by providing for her, right? This is something that requires mutual consent. Even though it goes somewhat against social customs, that is none of any of your concern."
"I hope that these are your heartfelt words. If you have time, it would be best for Mr. Ren to make a trip to the laboratory. Recently, there have been some achievements that Mr. Ren may be interested in," Yang Sen warned before once again raising the issue of their collaboration.As long as it was a normal person, he or she would know how to weigh the pros and cons. Yang Sen trusted that Ren Baqian would make the right choice. Ren Baqian didn't reply to him and immediately passed the phone over to the other man.
"Goodbye!" Ren Baqian waved at the three men and continued heading toward the gate.
How could he turn and leave in this situation? In that case, wasn't Yang Sen's guess correct?He couldn't be explicitly indicating that he really wanted to kill someone, right?
Otherwise, it would hurt his reputation. Trust was important when one was mixing around in the underworld. Since Ren Baqian said that he wouldn't kill anyone, he shouldn't let the other party obtain information that could be used against him.
Nonetheless, Ren Baqian still felt that he was a morally upright person. After all, keeping promises was the foundation of morality.
He took large strides toward the university's gate and could still feel that the three men's gazes never left him.
Qi Jiayu heard the footsteps behind her and looked back. Her eyes flashed with a trace of horror and disgust. She said in a loud voice, "I won't fight over your boyfriend. That Liu Zhengliang just likes me. Even if you can't handle your own man, can you stop bothering me?"
After these words were spoken, the people around them heard it clearly and hastily surrounded the both of them as if they had received an energy boost. A man and a woman were fighting over a man. This was so much more exciting than two women fighting over a man. Ren Baqian kept quiet.
He had been overconfident the whole time and made a mistake due to his negligence.
He played tricks on people all day, yet to his surprise, he was actually tricked by someone else.
Ren Baqian contemplated if he should shoot her dead now.
"Follow me to the Ministry of State Security." Ren Baqian flipped through his pocket for a long time before showing his identity document. He had specially brought it along today."I have documents that prove that I'm single and talkative as well as a FFF group identity card. Do you want to see them?" Qi Jiaying ignored him. Nowadays, all kinds of documents could be forged on the internet. Did he think that she was a fool?
[FFF group: the name of a heresy organization from a chinese novel] "This thing may be able to prove my identity." Ren Baqian took out a gun from the back of his waist and scared the students out of their wits. Qi Jiayu was also shocked, but then her eyes flashed with anger. This fellow was getting to be too much.This was SH University—what was he trying to do by taking out a fake gun?
Bang! Before Qi Jiayu could say anything, Ren Baqian fired a shot at the ground.
The gunshot resounded through the campus, and this time, everyone in the surroundings was frightened. That was a real gun. The man in front of them was holding a real gun.
"Oops, I'm sorry, but I misfired. I will have to write a report when I return and reckon that I will be punished." Ren Baqian revealed an astonished expression, as if he had really misfired the gun.
Ren Baqian unloaded the magazine of the gun and stuffed it into his back pocket.
He then flashed his identity document to the other students and said, "I'm from the Ministry of State Security. This student is needed to assist us in an investigation, and I apologize for the misfire just now. I hope that it didn't affect anyone."
After listening to his explanation, the fear on the other students' faces gradually disappeared.
"You can notify the police and the school to confirm my identity," Ren Baqian said to Qi Jiayu. "The impact may be relatively huge. So many people have seen me, and the surveillance has taken pictures of me. You don't have to worry about your safety concerns because my identity can't be faked.""In that case, we will wait for the police to come." Qi Jiayu remained unmoved.
"Damn it," Ren Baqian cursed under his breath.
This Qi Jiayu was really vigilant.
"Mr. Ren." The three men walked up to Ren Baqian again.
"Our group is handling a task, so you guys better not get involved," Ren Baqian warned them.
The three men looked at one other. Although firing the gun was a relatively nasty move, Ren Baqian had dealt with the matter promptly and indicated that it was a misfire. Also, he even lied about being punished when he returned, which suppressed the majority of the issue. With his identity, the current situation was still tolerable.
After all, Ren Baqian's identity documents were real. From the documents, he was considered an employee working at a certain department for the nation. "It is best to give our chief an explanation. At present, the situation isn't the same as what you said.""I will submit a report. Currently,I have something to discuss with this student." Ren Baqian nodded. The appearance of these three people, together with Ren Baqian's words, made the other students believe them. One by one, they revealed an amazed expression. It turned out that there really was a secret department, but they didn't know if the "dragon department" existed or not.
["dragon department": department formed by the elites] Even Qi Jiayu was a little doubtful now. She carefully looked at these three people and tried to distinguish if they were on Ren Baqian's side or not. Previously, even the teaching assistant was deceived. They even helped him to recruit interns from their classes. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Five minutes later, police officers arrived at the scene.
"What happened?"
"He has a gun!" Qi Jiayu said while pointing at Ren Baqian. She then hid behind the police officers.
Ren Baqian ignored her dirty tricks and handed his identity documents to the police officers, explaining, "I need this student to assist me with something. These are my identity documents. All of you can verify them."
After the police confirmed Ren Baqian's identity, the people in the surroundings finally believed him.
"This student, I will have to trouble you to take a trip with me." Ren Baqian pointed at Qi Jiayu.
"My apologies, I thought you were a stalker. I previously had such an experience when I was a child. If the police hadn't arrived in time back then, I am afraid that… I have been afraid of strangers ever since then," Qi Jiayu was said apologetically and pitifully. Ren Baqian looked at her performance as she vividly and thoroughly acted out the shock that a bunny would experience after running into danger. He felt that the Oscars owed her the best actress award.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had read her profile and knew that nothing like this had happened, he would have believed her based on her current performance.
