Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1259. Suspicion Falls on One's Own People
Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing first took Bai Ye home, and then they went to Lin Xi's house together.

On the way, the two turned off their gaming phones but didn't mention anything about games.

When she got home, Lin Xi went to see her sister first.

Lin Bei was leaning against the headboard, with several cell phones on the table.

It's obvious they're trying to defend their idol from negative publicity.

"Who got hacked again?" Lin Xi asked with a smile.

“Gong Heng!” Lin Bei immediately became agitated at the mention of this. “His latest TV series has just aired, and many people are saying he’s fallen from grace, that a movie star has gone into acting. Some are even saying he didn’t act well.”

“Those people were probably his haters from the start. They didn’t even watch the show before they started criticizing him,” Lin Xi said.

"You're right!" Lin Bei said, even more indignantly. "Many people just blindly criticize."

"Gong Heng himself doesn't care, so why are you fans so angry!" Lin Xi laughed.

"How do you know he doesn't care? Did he say that?" Lin Bei asked immediately.

"No, I'm just guessing," Lin Xi laughed. "I used to have a lot of trolls in my live stream, but I ignored them. I'd occasionally say something sarcastic, but that was just to stand up for my viewers."

"You actually have haters?" Lin Bei raised his voice.

Lin Xi laughed uncontrollably and quickly comforted her sister.

“It’s gone now,” Lin Xi said. “I guess they got bored and went to other live streams, or they just stopped watching altogether.”

"That's good. Otherwise, I'll go to your live stream and help you fight them off," Lin Bei said.

“I have a lot of viewers in my live stream. If you go there, they probably won’t even see you scolding them,” Lin Xi laughed.

Lin Bei laughed, then suddenly froze.

"Aren't you going to stop me from watching you play games?"

"Watch if you want, it's fine with me," Lin Xi said, standing up. "I'm going to take a shower, don't stay out too late. Fight the blacklist if you want, don't get yourself worked up."

"Don't worry, your sister doesn't get angry easily. Even if she does, it's only for a short while," Lin Bei said.

Watching Lin Xi leave her bedroom, Lin Bei pondered for a moment, smiled, and then went back to looking at her phone.

Lin Xi walked out and saw Huang Jingjing coming out of the shower.

"Go take a shower, I'll go keep my sister company," Huang Jingjing said.

"My sister's busy fighting back against Gong Heng!" Lin Xi laughed. "She probably doesn't have much time to deal with you."

"Who said that? My sister is paying attention to me, so I'll just join her in fighting back against the negative publicity for Teacher Gong."

Lin Xi finished showering and returned to her bedroom.

Huang Jingjing was lying on the bed looking at her phone.

"What? Are you really going to fight back against Gong Heng?" Lin Xi asked.

Huang Jingjing smiled, turned off her phone, and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi told Xiao Mu to turn off her phone as well, and put both gaming phones into the drawer of the coffee table in the living room.

“A reaction like Quan Quan's is the normal one!” Huang Jingjing said. “Who knows if someone might know someone from the game company and not be interested!”

“I think so too. Besides, Bai Yueming isn’t someone who dislikes gossip. It’s not that he’s not interested; he probably just knows about Jin Shujiu.”

"Jin Shujiu actually didn't try to hide his existence."

"Perhaps because he is already dead, and is just a person in the virtual world."

"Gong Heng and the others should go to the Academy of Sciences to inquire about whether there is such a person as Jin Shujiu, and what the cause of his death is."

“We’ve already gone, and we have the news,” Lin Xi said. “We’ll have Xin Xin tell us the details tomorrow.”

"With Bai Yueming and Quan Quan around, will it arouse Bai Yueming's suspicion if we ask Xin Xin to come out alone?"

"I just told her my sister wanted to meet her idol," Lin Xi said.

“Yes, my sister is still injured, so we can only let her idol come to see her. If we can find a time difference, we can really have Xin Xin come to our house, that will do.”

"We talked about it on the way," Lin Xi said. Huang Jingjing looked at Lin Xi, with an expression that seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked.

"When you named yourself, besides your sister, the first thing that came to mind was your Xiao Mu, right?"

"Yes, it was quite urgent at the time. The first person I thought of was my sister, and then it was Xiao Mu."

Mobile phones still occupy most of their lives, and everyone is quite close to their mobile phone.

"That……"

"You think Xiaoqin is my sister?" Lin Xi asked.

“I just heard my sister call her Xiaoqin, and that’s how I found out her phone’s assistant is called Xiaoqin,” Huang Jingjing said, looking at Lin Xi. “Since you say that, you must have had that thought before, right?”

“I still feel that way now,” Lin Xi said softly. “The first time I met Xiao Qin, I felt a sense of closeness to her.”

Huang Jingjing frowned slightly.

Indeed, she also had a sense of closeness to her.

Moreover, in today's instance, it was obvious that Bai also had a strange desire to get closer to Xiao Qin.

Also... Bai Yueming has always taken good care of Xiao Qin.

Although there wasn't much interaction, she still noticed it.

As for injuries... if you have healing items, just enter a dungeon once and the injury will be healed.

“But…” Huang Jingjing hesitated.

Lin Xi, of course, meant Huang Jingjing's idea tomorrow.

Xiao Qin is a high-risk individual.

Even now, we still don't know how this dangerous person was identified, nor have we seen Xiao Qin harm anyone.

But Bai Yueming is a high-risk individual, so they naturally suspect that he is from the game company. If Xiao Qin is really her sister, then it means... her sister might also be from that side.

"Xiao Xi, you said you entered the game to make money so you could upload your consciousness to your sister, but if..."

“I believe my sister,” Lin Xi said. “Even if she’s from that side, she certainly wouldn’t want to kill so many people.”

“Yes, I think so too!” Huang Jingjing slapped the bed. “I believe my sister.”

After saying that, Huang Jingjing turned over, looked at the ceiling, and sighed.

"Why are you investigating so much that you've started suspecting your own people!"

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Lin Xi.

"Let's... not tell Teacher Gong and Xin Xin yet! Besides, it's just the two of us guessing here, we haven't confirmed anything yet."

Lin Xi remained silent for a long time before finally smiling.

"Thank you, Jingjing."

Huang Jingjing reached out and patted Lin Xi.

"Don't think about it so much. Maybe we're both being too sensitive! Maybe Xiaoqin and your sister have nothing to do with each other!"

Lin Xi nodded on the blanket.

"Go to sleep, you're exhausted from working day and night in there."

"You go to sleep first, I'm helping my sister fight back against Teacher Gong's online attacks," Huang Jingjing said with a smile.

Lin Xi rolled her eyes at Huang Jingjing, turned over, and went to sleep.

She fell asleep in no time.

Huang Jingjing looked at her phone for a while, then glanced at Lin Xi, and couldn't help but smile.

"You're really carefree," Huang Jingjing said softly, then shook her head. "Maybe Xiaoxi and I are just overthinking it. There are so many people in the world with the same name, let alone a mobile phone gadget."
