People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

Mei, dressed in a purple dress and high heels, reached out and touched Qiao Qiao's shoulder, snapping him out of his daze.

"Qiaoqiao, what are you standing there daydreaming about?"

"It's nothing..." Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "I was just thinking that you used to live this kind of aristocratic life..."

Despite her family's decline, Mei's life is indeed much better than most people's. However, compared to her past days of being well-behaved, empty, and lonely, she still prefers her current life at St. Freya Academy with Jojo and Kiana.

"Qiaoqiao, stop overthinking." Mei reached out her slender, white fingers and took Qiaoqiao's hand, encouraging him, "Today, you are my fiancé, the main character of the entire banquet. You can't be downcast; you must show the spirit of a scion of a noble family!"

Mei reminded him that Qiao Qiao was not a student of St. Freya Academy today, but one of the most distinguished guests in the entire venue, the young master of the Beichen family—Beichen Jiujiu.

In previous simulations, Qiao Qiao has played villainous characters who are ruthless and powerful. Playing the young master of a large family is something he can do with ease.

"Mei, don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of Cocolia and Walter Joyce, find the evidence, and rescue Father."

Hearing Qiaoqiao's confident promise, Mei blushed slightly and shyly pushed Qiaoqiao away, saying, "You only met my father once, who are you calling 'Father'?!"

“I am your fiancé now,” Qiao Qiao said seriously, quite theatrically, “Then your father is naturally my father.”

Mei didn't expect that Qiaoqiao, who seemed honest and kind, like a big grudge who could be easily driven around, would actually be so quick-witted. After only meeting her father once, she kept calling him "Father" and taking full advantage of him.

The key point is... Mei can't refute him, after all, Qiao Qiao is now her nominal fiancé - Bei Chen Jiu Jiu.

Her father is naturally also Qiaoqiao's father and father-in-law.

Mei thought that Qiao Qiao would be a little nervous since it was his first time attending such a large group gathering, and that he would definitely need her help. But she didn't expect him to get into character so quickly, as if he was already used to playing the role of a privileged young master.

He truly is the man I chose; he proved useful in a crucial moment.

Mei was certain that choosing Qiao Qiao as her fiancé was the right decision. She smiled slightly and said, "Since he's my fiancé, just being good with words isn't enough. He has to amaze everyone here!"

As she spoke, Mei led Qiaoqiao toward the ME Corporation headquarters.

As Qiaoqiao approached the magnificent banquet hall, she looked around. The hall was filled with elegant, well-dressed wealthy people, and the food was laid out in a tempting array of dishes.

Mei, holding Qiaoqiao's hand, found a refined old man in a suit with silver temples: "Uncle Guoguang!"

Upon hearing Mei's voice, the refined old man immediately stopped talking to those around him, bid farewell to the other company executives, and smiled happily.

"Miss Mei, it's been a long time. You look even more mature and beautiful than before."

When Guoguang saw Mei, it was like a grandfather seeing his granddaughter; his wrinkled face was filled with a smile.

Mei walked up to the old man Guoguang and introduced him, "This is Qiaoqiao, whom I mentioned to you."

Upon hearing this, the old man Guoguang's gaze lingered on Qiaoqiao's body, a smile appearing on his lips: "You are the young master Qiaoqiao that Miss Mei often mentions. You are indeed a handsome man, no wonder Miss Mei has taken a liking to you."

Upon hearing Mr. Kunimitsu's words, Qiaoqiao was stunned. She was very confused about what Mei had said to Raiden Ryoma and this Mr. Kunimitsu. Why did they all act so strangely towards her?

Mei blushed and explained, "Uncle Guoguang, didn't I tell you? Qiaoqiao and I are just ordinary friends! We don't have that kind of relationship at all."

Seeing Mei's flustered attempt to explain, the elderly Guoguang, having lived a long life, naturally understood her thoughts. However, he didn't continue teasing Mei, but nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, you're just ordinary friends..."

After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Guoguang, Mei turned to Qiaoqiao and introduced the refined old man.

"Qiaoqiao, this is Uncle Guoguang. He used to be my father's deputy at ME Company and also the deputy general manager of ME Company. He watched me grow up. This time, we can't do without his help if we want to get the evidence that Cocolia framed my father."

Seeing the heads of other groups flocking to talk to this old man, Qiao Qiao knew that his identity must be extremely distinguished. She never expected that he was the current vice president of ME Company. She immediately extended her hand and introduced herself: "My name is Qiao Qiao, and I am Mei's friend."

When Grandpa Guoguang saw Qiaoqiao extend her hand, he kindly shook hands with her, and while looking Qiaoqiao's face over, he exclaimed in surprise, "So alike...so much like her..."

Old Man Guoguang breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "No wonder Miss Mei chose you to impersonate Young Master Beichen. You look just like him, like you were made from the same mold."

Qiao Qiao knew very little about the person she was impersonating, Bei Chen Jiu Jiu. She only knew that he was a martial arts genius with extraordinary talent, the young master of the Bei Chen family, Mei's fiancé, and that he had passed away three years ago. She did not know what he looked like.

Mei found Qiao Qiao to play her fiancé, Bei Chen Jiu Jiu. Not only was the age right, but Qiao Qiao was also exceptionally intelligent, and they even looked very similar.

Is there such a coincidence in this world?

Chapter 181 The Clones of the First Acting Law

Inside the magnificent banquet hall, the vice president of ME Company, an elderly man with silver hair and wrinkles, wearing a black suit, tightly gripped Qiao Qiao's hand and stared at her with a look of shock as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's...it's so incredibly similar."

Although the old man Guoguang kept his eyes fixed on Qiaoqiao, he actually saw someone else in his eyes.

That is... the young master of a prestigious family in the Far East region—Beichen Jiujiu.

The man that Guoguang, the elderly man, mentioned who looked similar to Qiaoqiao.

The Beichen family and the Leidian family are closely related relatives. It is not surprising that Elder Guoguang, as an elder of the Leidian family, knows the young master of the Beichen family. He may even have watched Beichen Jiu grow up.

Qiaoqiao could understand why Guoguang missed the deceased Beichen Jiujiu, but being used as a substitute for someone else was not a pleasant feeling, so he struggled to pull his fingers away from being tightly gripped.

"Uncle Guoguang, my name is Qiaoqiao. I am from China and have no relation to the young master of the Beichen family."

When Mei saw Uncle Guoguang holding Qiaoqiao's hand tightly and not letting go, and Qiaoqiao looked embarrassed, she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Uncle Guoguang, he is Qiaoqiao, not Beichen Jiujiu."

Upon hearing Mei's words, the old man Guoguang seemed to wake up from a dream, released his grip on Qiaoqiao's hand, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, my friend, you look so much like an old friend of mine. I was confused for a moment and mistook you for him."

Qiaoqiao understood Guoguang's feelings of missing the deceased, so she generously said, "It's alright...it's alright..."

As the elder of the Raiden family and the vice president of ME Corporation, Raiden Kunimitsu is not only experienced, far-sighted, and exceptionally intelligent, but also has a calm and steady temperament.

In Mei's memory, Uncle Kunimitsu had always been a steady and experienced person. She had never seen him so excited before, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Kunimitsu, does Qiaoqiao really look that much like the deceased Jiujiu-nii?"

"Not just like...it's exactly the same..."

Old Man Guoguang's gaze towards Qiaoqiao changed slightly, and he nodded seriously: "If I hadn't personally confirmed the news of Young Master Beichen's death, I might have really thought that this Qiaoqiao was Young Master Beichen himself."

Hearing Uncle Guoguang say this, Qiaoqiao's reaction was very calm. After all, he had never met Beichen Jiujiu and did not know what he looked like or how similar he was to him. Naturally, he had no sense of reality about the resemblance that the old man Guoguang said.

Perhaps because Qiao Qiao really resembled the young master of the Beichen family too much, when the old man Guoguang saw him, he thought of that short-lived young genius, and his face became somewhat sad as he said, "If it weren't for Young Master Longma being framed and imprisoned by villains, and Young Master Beichen dying too young... how could the Leidian family have fallen to this state?"

Three years ago, Raiden Ryoma was framed and imprisoned by Cocolia. Shortly after, the Third Honkai Impact 3rd occurred, and Kitatsuki Shuku also died in that disaster. As a result, Cocolia successfully seized actual control of Me.

It can be said that Ryoma's imprisonment and Hokushin Sake's death marked the beginning of the Raiden family's decline.

Watching the Raiden family's foundation being gradually seized by Cocolia, how could Raiden Kunimitsu, a highly respected and powerful elder in the family, not feel sorrow?

On the contrary, Mei had no memory of Bei Chen Jiu Jiu at all. In her eyes, Bei Chen Jiu Jiu was just a stranger with whom she had only a marriage contract, whom she had never even met.

In truth, Beichen Jiu's early death was not a bad thing for Mei; on the contrary, it was a great blessing. She was unwilling to marry a stranger for the sake of her family.

Upon hearing Uncle Guoguang say that Qiaoqiao resembled the deceased Beichen Jiujiu, she felt no sadness at all. Instead, she smiled happily and said, "That's great! Even Uncle Guoguang thinks that Qiaoqiao looks exactly like Jiujiu-nii. Then Cocolia and the others will have even less chance of recognizing her!"

Mei had never felt that God had been so kind to her. When she was being forced into marriage by Cocolia, she was able to find Jojo to pretend to be her fiancé. Not only was Jojo incredibly smart, but he also had the same photographic memory as Kita-shita Shuu, and they even looked very similar.

Although opening champagne at the halfway point is a big no-no, Mei is now quite certain that Jojo can convincingly impersonate Kita no Sakeki and fool Cocolia and Walter Joyce.

Once Mei has a fiancé, she will have ample reason to refuse Cocolia's marriage proposal. Even if the elders of the Raiden family try to force Mei to marry Welt Joyce for their own benefit, it will be to no avail.

Mei was happy to be able to get rid of Welt's entanglement, and Jojo was also very happy to see this. After all, Mei had promised her that as long as she pretended to be her fiancé, helped her reject Welt, and obtained evidence of Raiden Ryoma's innocence, she could easily earn one million, which was a considerable sum of money for Jojo, a student of St. Freya.

Old Man Guoguang already knew that Mei wanted to use this banquet to find evidence to get Raiden Ryoma out of prison.

The thought of Mei and Jojo risking their lives to steal evidence from Cocolia made Kunimitsu's face turn worried: "Miss Mei, and this guest, we really feel bad for you..."

"Originally, rescuing young master Ryoma and regaining control of ME Corporation should have been my responsibility..." Raiden Kunimitsu said sadly and remorsefully, "But now I'm just a puppet in ME Corporation... The heavy responsibility of rescuing young master Ryoma can only be borne by you younger generation..."

The Raiden family is powerful and renowned in the Far East, but compared to Anti-Entropy, they are as different as a firefly compared to the sun and moon. Moreover, the Raiden family has already declined due to the imprisonment of its patriarch, Raiden Ryoma, and no longer has the power to fight against Anti-Entropy.

In the eyes of the Raiden family, Cocolia, the acting leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, is an invincible enemy; otherwise, none of them would have wanted Mei to marry into the family to maintain its prosperity.

However, JoJo felt no pressure whatsoever when she chose to fight against Anti-Entropy and Cocolia.

JoJo now possesses multiple Herrscher Cores, Divine Keys, and Hypermutation Factors within his body. Cocolia and Welt clones from Anti-Entropy are no match for him. To fight JoJo, at least the current Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang, would be qualified.

As the heiress of the Raiden family, Mei bears the responsibility for the survival of her clan and the safety of her father. Although she appears to be a gentle and quiet beautiful girl, she has long since become strong and resolute in her heart. Facing powerful enemies such as Anti-Entropy and Cocolia, although she is not as composed as JoJo, she has the courage to face difficulties head-on.

"Uncle Guoguang, don't worry, Qiaoqiao and I will definitely find evidence to rescue our father."

Raiden Kunimitsu looked at Mei, who had a beautiful figure and pretty face. Her current mature appearance was completely different from the crybaby she was when she was a child.

People often say that a girl changes a lot as she grows up.

Raiden Kunimitsu watched Mei grow up and mature, and said with a mix of emotion and relief, "I always thought of Miss Mei as a child who needed our best protection... but I never imagined that you had already grown up without us even noticing, and that you were old enough to take over the responsibility of the entire family from Young Master Ryoma."

Seeing that Raiden Kunimitsu was so moved he was almost crying, Mei said a little shyly, "Mikoto-san, I'm not exaggerating at all..."

In Raiden Kunimitsu's VIP room, where he was the vice president, Jojo and Mei talked to him about their upcoming trip to the top floor of ME Corporation, to the chairman's office, to find evidence that Raiden Ryoma had been framed by Cocolia.

As the vice president of ME Corporation, Raiden Kunimitsu, although he no longer had much real power, still provided Qiao Qiao with a lot of intelligence.

For example, Cocolia raised billions of yen through engineering projects under the name of ME Corporation, but those funds later disappeared without a trace.

Cocolia naturally pinned the blame for embezzling funds on Raiden Ryoma, the president of ME Company, causing him to be imprisoned for economic fraud.

As far as Raiden Kunimitsu knew, the evidence that Cocolia used to frame Raiden Ryoma was a fake ledger, while the real ledger was still hidden in Cocolia's office.

In other words, as long as the official ledger is found, Raiden Ryoma can be exonerated, which is also the goal of JoJo and Mei attending this ME Group banquet.

With the help of Raiden Kunimitsu, Qiaoqiao and Mei determined their next action goals and plans. Outside the VIP room, the executives and directors of various conglomerates wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the vice president of ME Company, but they were turned away. They couldn't help but start speculating about what was next to Qiaoqiao and Mei inside the VIP room.

"That lady in the purple dress must be the eldest daughter of the Raiden family... Before Mr. Ryoma went to prison, I saw her from afar at a banquet. I never expected that she would grow up to be so charming and beautiful after three years."

"So that's the young lady from the Raiden family... The black-haired boy who came with her is handsome and has an extraordinary air about him. He must be the young master of some big conglomerate, right?"

"Black hair and purple eyes... and he's so close to the Lei Dian family, could he be the young master of the Bei Chen family? No... he hasn't shown his face for three years, aren't there rumors that he's dead?"

The Raiden family was already in decline, and these high-ranking officials and wealthy tycoons had a more or less ungrateful attitude towards Mei, this down-on-her-luck heiress.

In the past, when Raiden Ryoma was still around, the Raiden family was so powerful and arrogant.

Now that the Raiden family is in decline, these high-ranking officials and wealthy tycoons desperately want to trample them underfoot.

But if Raiden Mei's fiancé, Kitatsuki Sakehisa, were still alive, things would be different.

As a prestigious family in the Far East, the Beichen family has always lived in seclusion and never entered the world unless there were demons causing chaos. However, everyone knows that the Beichen family takes it as their mission to subdue demons and eliminate evil. They are powerful and not only have a great reputation in the Far East, but they are also among the top families in Shenzhou and Tianming.

Bei Chen Jiu Jiu, the young master of the Bei Chen family, is a martial arts genius who is rare even in a thousand years. Three years ago, he already had the strength to be close to that of an S-class Valkyrie.

Three years have passed, and no one can say for sure how strong he has become. Perhaps his strength is now comparable to Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Faced with such a wealthy and talented scion of a prominent family, the high-ranking officials at the banquet dared not take advantage of his fiancée Raiden Mei's misfortune or make sarcastic remarks; they were eager to kneel down and fawn over her right now.

These high-ranking officials and wealthy tycoons who have made a name for themselves in the official and business worlds and occupied their own territories are all cunning and shrewd. They are planning to find an opportunity to show off in front of the young master of the Beichen family and to grovel for him. If they can get his support, the status of their entire enterprise and family may rise, and they may even become the leading force in the Far East.

High-ranking officials and tycoons in the banquet hall were all waiting in line to fawn over him when suddenly a tall, imposing, arrogant, black-haired man forcefully pushed through the crowd.

Strangely, these officials and tycoons, who were used to being superior and arrogant, became like rabbits seeing a tiger when they saw this black-haired man. They all retreated to the side in fear, letting him cut in line.

The arrogant man pushed open the VIP room door of Raiden Kunimitsu, and his fiery gaze immediately fell on Mei, a smug smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Raiden Mei, my fiancée!"
