Infinite Mask Game.

Chapter 297: Multiple Plots
"Chen Boxan, whose game name is Shan Wei Zheng, is a well-known game anchor." Wei Miao smiled and said the name, "You can give it a try."

There were many reasons why Wei Miao chose Chen Boxan for surgery.

Firstly, in reality, very few people are known to be front-row players. The cultural atmosphere of the Federation values ​​personal privacy, and many websites do not require real-name registration, but by digging out the IP address through postings on the website, you can still find out who you are.

The problem is that most of the front-line players are lurking like her, and even if they post, they won’t reveal much, thus hiding their level of game progress.

However, the official website of the Masquerade is an information black hole. The IP address of the poster is completely hidden, and users are not at risk of being locked out. This is clearly stated in the official website announcement.

Wei Miao dared to write that ostentatious strategy post on the official website forum based on her trust in the statement and her belief that no one could trace it back to her.

Therefore, there are only a few people who can be confirmed as high-end players. Some relatively skilled game anchors have been suspected of being high-end players of Masquerade, such as Wei Miao and Pu Lao, but everyone either denies it or pretends to be stupid, so it is impossible to confirm their true level.

Among those who truly acknowledged it, Chen Boshan was particularly high-profile. He wanted to be a banner of righteousness, leading some players to fight against the malice of the Masquerade, and stick to the moral bottom line under the pressure of winning and losing.

Even though they were on opposite sides and had conflicts and contradictions, Wei Miao still admired his courage and conviction.

From the perspective of universal values, this is of course noble and commendable. But judging from the tone of the masquerade, this path is bound to come at an unimaginable price.

Admiration is admiration, hostility is hostility.

Wei Miao is still unsure about the relationship between the players. If they reach the end, will they cooperate or become completely hostile? This depends on the plans behind the Masquerade, which is unpredictable.

Therefore, she did not want to kill all the known high-end players, and if the scene was too big, even Wei Liang might not be able to contain her.

But no matter what, before reaching the end, Chen Boshan and her were hostile most of the time.

Secondly, Chen Boshan has no background. Although he has a huge fan base and earns a lot of money from live streaming, compared to Wei Miao and Wei Liang, he is just an ordinary person with a little fame and money.

Taking all aspects into consideration, it is quite in line with Wei Miao's wishes to remove Chen Boxan.

After all, there is no absolute fairness in the world. Wei Miao has advantages and knows how to use them.

Wei Liang nodded at her and made a phone call in front of her.

Wei Miao was not interested in his method of solving the problem, so he went upstairs to his room after breakfast.

She understood that this matter would take time to plan, and it would be more difficult than just a phone call to complete it.

At twelve o'clock noon, Wei Miao received a text message from Wei Liang and went downstairs to eat.

She looked at the two light side dishes on the table and sat down without much appetite.

Before she picked up the chopsticks, Wei Liang received a call.

Not knowing what was said on the other side, he glanced at Wei Miao, his expression changed slightly, and said: "Got it, keep watching."

Wei Miao was intrigued by his look and asked, "What happened?"

"The person you asked me to investigate is very interesting." Wei Liang said with a smile, "Someone has already got there first."

Wei Miao didn't expect such an unexpected change to happen. Even his appetite improved a little. He continued to eat the tasteless food and waited for what was to come.

Wei Liang said directly: "Just yesterday, he was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 10 million yuan, and his family has called the police. After the kidnappers learned about it, they raised the ransom to 100 million. Now the police are suppressing the news while trying to find a way to contact the kidnappers." This news is quite delicious.

"One hundred million... Zimbabwean currency?" Wei Miao sneered. Zimbabwean currency is well-known internationally for its low purchasing power.

"Federal currency." Wei Liang corrected.

Wei Miao smiled and said, "Even if his entire body was made of gold and jade, it wouldn't be worth 100 million."

Although live streaming can make money, Chen Boxan has only become popular recently, and his net worth does not reach 100 million federal coins.

"It seems that the kidnappers have no sincerity. Maybe they are going to kill you." Wei Miao said with a smile, a mixture of sincerity and ridicule.

The amount of extortion suddenly increased tenfold, and his family must have been dumbfounded.

Wei Liang understood what she meant. The mastermind behind this incident was most likely a powerful player whose target was Chen Boxan's life, but he disguised it as a legitimate kidnapping to cover up his tracks.

But it can't be hidden from those who are interested. Other popular anchors are safe and sound, why is it Chen Boxan?
Wei Miao lamented that Chen Boxan was not doing very well, and she was not the only one who was thinking about him, and the reason behind it was probably similar to hers.

Wei Liang suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about why it is kidnapping instead of just killing to silence the witness?"

"Because it can buy a day or two of time." Although Wei Miao had never encountered such a thing, she saw it more clearly from a player's perspective, "I'm afraid even this matter itself is a bait, designed to lure those who are interested."

"Yes." Wei Liang looked at her approvingly, "This is where the more interesting part comes in. Several parties are secretly investigating this matter."

He glanced at the messages on his phone: "Some want to help, some want to add insult to injury. Chen Boxan's life has become the stakes of the game. But generally speaking, those who help him have a harder time, act more outrageously, and are easier to investigate, because there are more people who want him to stay away."

Wei Miao: "Will it be troublesome?"

Wei Liang: "No. I don't plan to let my men get involved directly. I will just carefully get the information. Although it's not our bait, we can also stand aside and watch."

"This kidnapping case has alerted the Special Investigation Bureau. The people investigating this matter have their own ulterior motives. Whether Chen Boxan can survive depends on whether the people behind him have the determination and connections."

Wei Miao approved of her brother's approach. The one who could sit still and wait till the end was the winner.

The Special Bureau of Investigation is a special federal investigation agency that responds to emergencies and is responsible for major cases related to national security.

Chen Boxan’s importance was not enough to warrant the intervention of the Special Investigation Bureau, but the Bureau took action anyway.

One can only assume that someone is manipulating this to make the situation more complicated.

The powerful figures who took action this time should not be underestimated. As the ones who planned it, they have the first-mover advantage. The latecomers, including Wei Liang, have no idea what trap is waiting ahead.

Chen Boshan's life is not only worth 100 million federal coins, but can also be used to set up a game and test the possible players in the upper echelons. If he knew about this, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would die.

Wei Miao put down his chopsticks gracefully and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue: "Would you like to make a bet? I bet Chen Boxan will not die this time, but he will not be able to escape death."

Wei Liang thought for a moment: "Because his life is more valuable this time?"

"Because I simply think this direction is more interesting." Wei Miao's expression made it difficult to tell whether her words were true or false. She said, "Do you think that the news that Chen Boxan survived the kidnappers but died in an 'accident' two days later is eye-catching enough?"
