Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 868 - 779: Dislocated Lives 67

Afterwards, things became simple. The state intervened, and even their ancestors from eight generations back were scrutinized. The situation quickly became clear: there were two groups of people sent to assassinate Shuangshuang. One group was heavily backed, mainly consisting of foreign spies, and their goal was to kill Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang indeed provoked much animosity overseas. Her game, Ascension to God, had ensnared an unknown number of foreigners, and she refused to release upgraded versions internationally. This left many foreign students and even office workers addicted to the game, rendering various policies useless. This caused foreign leaders to lose their hair in handfuls, as they were stressed to the point of going bald.

Later, Shuangshuang even developed a large-scale anti-hacker firewall software to protect the country’s network entirely, blocking all intrusions and cyber attacks, making it impossible for foreign hackers to steal domestic information.

This firewall software carried Shuangshuang’s typical style. Unless it wasn’t attacked, it would immediately trace back to the attackers upon being attacked, determined to wreck their entire network system.

Under such circumstances, it wasn’t surprising that foreign spies wanted to kill Shuangshuang. This particular spy had been undercover for over ten years, extremely secretive, and even his superiors hesitated to use him. However, this time they finally decided to act, and it failed.

The other group causing unexpected yet expected trouble for Shuangshuang was the Fang Family and Wen Zhijin, who were almost like sewer rats by now.

Coincidentally, the time they chose to act collided with the foreign spies’ plans, allowing them to fish in troubled waters together.

If not for this, the person would have been taken down by Shuangshuang’s bodyguards as soon as he appeared, with no chance to chase Shuangshuang for so long. In fact, the assassin hired by Zhijin and the Fang Family was just an ordinary person driven by money.

He was typically a truck driver, but prone to gambling and greed, always dreaming of a windfall. When the Fang Family found him, they offered him a 2 million high price to find a way to run over Shuangshuang, and he promptly agreed.

He was merely an ordinary person, unable to access high-level circles, completely unaware of the importance the state placed on talents like Shuangshuang, nor did he understand the enormous contribution Shuangshuang made to the country’s information development.

Although Shuangshuang was protected by a group of bodyguards, he thought that driving a large truck into them would be unstoppable, and the bodyguards would be of no use.

Moreover, running someone over with a car wouldn’t result in a death sentence. He could pretend to be sleep-deprived, serve a few years in prison, and live a lavish life after coming out with the money from the Fang Family.

Little did he know that just as he was about to act, he stumbled upon the spies also targeting Shuangshuang. This assassin himself was scared witless.

Initially, he thought it would be a simple matter of running over someone, but before he could aim for Shuangshuang’s car, he found himself in the middle of a major shootout. He became a little pawn in it, with bullets whizzing all around, and his car windows were shattered, with several near-misses on him.

The most frightening part was when both sides used his truck as a battle tool, and at one point, two people climbed onto his truck roof to fight, nearly giving him a heart attack.

When the chaotic brawl ended, the man was nearly scared to death, fleeing in terror with two groups in pursuit. When Shuangshuang’s bodyguards dragged him from the truck, he looked at them as if they were saviors, just short of kneeling in gratitude.

When taken to the police station, still enraged with the Fang Family for giving him such a deadly task, he confessed everything he knew before the police could even question him. After all, he was only guilty of attempted murder, facing at most a few years in prison with no life-threatening consequences.

He decided to take this as a lesson, planning to earn an honest living after getting out in the future. Quick gains like this were life-threatening, and he wasn’t cut out for them.

His speedy confession wasn’t just out of spite for the Fang Family; it was also driven by self-preservation. Even he could see that a bodyguard with such skill and a gun must protect someone of significant importance. To think he could kill such a person was sheer folly; even attempted murder would carry a heavy sentence.

Now, with a good attitude towards confessing, and having implicated the Fang Family as the masterminds behind the murder attempt on Shuangshuang, he hoped it would earn him leniency.

Wen Zhijin instigated the Fang Family to contract the murder of Shuangshuang with the intention of framing them entirely if things went south, absolving herself of any responsibility. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Unfortunately, Zhijin underestimated the state’s regard for Shuangshuang and the self-preservation instincts of hired killers. The incident involved Shuangshuang, a national asset-level computer expert, prompting full-scale investigation by authorities, uncovering Zhijin’s involvement and even obtaining recordings of her inciting the Fang Family to hire assassins.

The Fang Family had long run out of money, and the funds for hiring a killer were provided by Zhijin. She used credit card overdrafts, sold her luxury items, and wheedled money out of Jianyun and Liu Yun to scrape together enough.

Zhijin paid the Fang Family 2.5 million, of which they secretly pocketed 500,000, using the remaining 2 million to hire this truck driver to kill Shuangshuang.

The truth finally surfaced, and both the Fang Family and Zhijin were arrested. The impact of this case was significant. Though they failed, the Fang Family and Zhijin’s attempted murder of Shuangshuang carried severe consequences due to Shuangshuang’s special status.

Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang, and Fang Shaosheng, who were aware of the plan, received relatively lighter sentences of a few years. Fang Shaosheng only ended up in a juvenile facility and would be released upon adulthood. However, his personal record was tarnished, ending any future prospects he might have had.

The primary negotiators with the truck driver were Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao, with Zhijin behind the scenes providing instructions and funds. These three received harsh sentences, ensuring they wouldn’t trouble anyone for decades. Without these troublemakers, Shuangshuang’s life grew more peaceful.

Without anyone to take care of them, and with neighbors shunning them, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang lived poorly. Although they had a house, the Fang Family’s savings were depleted. The house couldn’t be converted into food or warmth, serving only as a shelter from the elements.

Initially, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang considered renting out the house, but the Fang Family’s reputation was terrible, and no one wanted to rent from them. Even those unaware who came to view the house were mostly unwilling to share it with an elderly couple.
