Chapter 1802
Who is Dad?
"Ah-Qiu, can you find out who this person is?"
Liu Dong: "I'll give it a try."
Although he picked up his hacking skills from his previous life and taught himself about networking in this world, his hacking skills were quite extraordinary.
However, the technology in the interstellar world is advanced, and there are fewer vulnerabilities in the network, making it a hundred times more difficult to infiltrate other places than in the 21st century.
Liu Tong can only hack into some private and family-owned quantum computers at most.
Many heavily guarded places are places that Liu Dong could hack with his current technology, but the chances of being discovered are also high.
If the person in the photo has a highly confidential profile, he won't be able to find that person's information.
Fortunately, this person's level of secrecy was not high.
This person is named Qi Shaowen, and he is a person from the Capital Planet.
In his youth, he was a prominent figure and a highly skilled and talented mecha maker.
In addition, he is good-looking and comes from a very prestigious family, making him a prince charming and a desirable husband in the hearts of many girls.
However, he found himself caught in a vortex of seizing other people's achievements.
Some people accused Qi Shaowen of plagiarizing his newly created mecha and even presented evidence.
Qi Shaowen naturally denied it, but he couldn't produce any evidence.
His reputation plummeted.
Unable to bear the blow, Qi Shaowen committed suicide.
The people of the capital planet felt that Qi Shaowen's existence was dishonorable, and they selectively forgot about him.
Yu Qisui asked in a trembling voice, "Is he...is he married? Does he have children?"
Liu Tong: "No. Because he's so focused on mecha research, he doesn't even have a girlfriend."
You Qisui: "Then...then he's not my father?!"
Disappointment mingled with a sliver of hope: "Could it be my uncle or something?"
Liu Tong: "Qi Shaowen has two brothers and a sister. However, they are not from the same mother, but he looks like his mother."
Therefore, there will not be a situation where a nephew resembles his uncle.
Liu Tong: "Brother Qi Sui, although the evidence shows that Qi Shaowen has no wife or son, I have a gut feeling that he might really be your father."
You Qisui smiled bitterly: "Whether he is my father or not, this is a clue. Perhaps the person behind the scenes thinks we are related."
Liu Tong: "Well, let's start the investigation from Qi Shaowen's side then."
The four men left the pirates' lair and finally had a clue, knowing how to proceed.
They had initially planned to investigate from the perspectives of their teammates and teachers, but Liu Dong had hacked into several people's communicators and discovered that they had all revealed You Qisui's whereabouts to others, making it impossible to determine who had betrayed You Qisui.
Or perhaps, none of them betrayed the other party; they simply leaked information unintentionally and were exploited by the person behind the scenes.
Out of consideration for their past relationship, You Qisui did not hold a grudge against these people.
He was more inclined to believe that these people had been taken advantage of.
The four of them went to the Mercenary Guild to turn in their mission, and then accepted a new one.
This mission is located near the capital planet, which is the Qi family's main base.
While completing their mission, they also gathered information about the Qi family.
The head of the Qi family is Qi Shaowen's eldest brother. He shares the same mother as the second son of the Qi family and is the child of Old Man Qi's first wife.
Qi Shaowen's mother was Qi Laotou's second wife.
But when Qi Shaowen's biological mother was pregnant, the old man Qi had an affair.
After giving birth to her child, Qi Shaowen's mother divorced Qi Shaowen's father and quickly married another man, leaving her son in the Qi family.
Old Man Qi soon married his third wife. His third wife was the younger sister of his first wife, and she was more closely related to Qi Lao Da and Qi Lao Er by blood, but their relationship was very bad.
On the contrary, Qi Shaowen and his sister had a good relationship because they were close in age.
When Qi Shaowen was slandered, only his younger sister spoke up for him, but she did not have much status in the Qi family. At that time, Old Man Qi had passed away unexpectedly, and the eldest son Qi was in power. He hated his aunt and stepmother who had seduced his former brother-in-law, which made life difficult for the mother and daughter in the Qi family. They could not help Qi Shaowen much.
The eldest and second eldest brothers of the Qi family used the excuse that Qi Shaowen had damaged the Qi family's reputation to expel Qi Shaowen from the family.
Liu Tong successfully hacked into the Qi family's network, searching for relevant information from more than 20 years ago.
He actually found some clues.
More than 20 years ago, Qi Shaowen was falsely accused of plagiarism, and Qi Lao Er was implicated in the case.
Qi Lao Er has always been jealous of Qi Shaowen's abilities, from childhood to adulthood.
Since the two are close in age, they will naturally be compared.
Qi Shaowen was so outstanding that it made Qi Lao Er look utterly useless.
Qi Lao Er was jealous and resentful of Qi Shaowen and wanted to destroy him. When someone asked him to deal with Qi Shaowen, he naturally agreed.
Liu Tong followed Qi Lao Er's trail and discovered that the person who framed Qi Shaowen was a woman named Liu Mingyan.
This Liu Mingyan is Liu Tong's aunt in this life.
The Liu family is a powerful family in the capital planet. Liu Tong's grandfather is a high-ranking official in the Alliance and the Minister of Finance. The family's influence is enormous!
Liu Mingyan was the only daughter of the Liu family in that generation, and she was exceptionally talented, so she was naturally very spoiled, which fostered her stubborn and domineering personality.
Liu Mingyan took a liking to Qi Shaowen, but Qi Shaowen did not like Liu Mingyan.
Liu Mingyan confessed her feelings to Qi Shaowen multiple times, but was rejected each time, which made Liu Mingyan feel very embarrassed and turned her love into hatred.
Liu Mingyan wanted to destroy what she couldn't have, so she orchestrated a plagiarism incident.
Because of the secret help of Qi Lao Er, the sixth brother, Qi Shaowen was unable to prove his innocence, which ultimately forced him to commit suicide.
Liu Tong: "Perhaps Liu Mingyan saw that you look just like Qi Shaowen, and took her anger out on you, hiring someone to kill you?"
He has no connection with the Liu family and will not defend or cover for them.
You Qisui: "It can't be that bad, can it?"
Elf Girl: "A paranoid woman is terrifying."
Axe raised a point of doubt: "Although the Liu family is powerful, they have no influence in politics or the military."
The fact that the pirate crew was silenced is enough to show that the mastermind behind it all also had people in the military.
The four people looked at each other.
Liu Tong: "I will continue to investigate along the line of Liu Mingyan to see if I can find any more clues."
He shared the information he had gathered about the other members of the Qi family with the other three.
Although the eldest son of the Qi family did not participate in framing Qi Shaowen, he took advantage of Qi Shaowen's misfortune by driving him out of the Qi family, which hastened Qi Shaowen's death.
Moreover, it seems that Boss Qi has some connection with space pirates.
It wasn't the pirate crew that was wiped out, but another pirate crew.
Boss Qi paid those space pirates to do dirty work for him that the Qi family couldn't do openly.
This is likely not an isolated case; perhaps the powerful families on the capital planet have also made some kind of "deal" with space pirates.
The space pirate girl clicked her tongue: "These big families are really dirty behind the scenes!"
Liu Dong chuckled: "That's normal!"
Whether in ancient times or in interstellar space, such dark, underground transactions have always existed.
It's all about profit! (End of Chapter)
