The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"What do you mean by that?"

Shen Qiubing paused, watching Lu Yuan's brows gradually furrow.

She has realized that things may not be as simple as she initially thought.

"Actually, I know Zhou Buyi. I'm not with Wang Sen, but it was Zhou Buyi who arranged for me to enter the training camp."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and decided to speak directly.

"I was originally a salesperson in the pharmaceutical sales department of Xingyao Group. I met Zhou Buyi through my supervisor's introduction. Zhou Buyi asked me to help her find out information about a client. In exchange, she could transfer me to the Xingyao Group headquarters."

"But unexpectedly, the supervisor misspoke and mistakenly thought I wanted to become a martial artist, so instead of being transferred to the Xingyao Group headquarters, I ended up in the training camp without even realizing it."

"As an instructor, you should know very well that once you enter the training camp, you can't just leave easily. So Zhou Buyi promised me that he would transfer me back to the Xingyao Group headquarters after I graduate from the training camp."

"But I didn't expect that just before the final test, Zhou Buyi suddenly met with me, handed me a USB drive, and told me to plug it into the testing device."

"I never expected that Zhou Buyi would want to harm you. I suspect that the USB drive contained a virus, and that's why we were locked in the simulation scenario."

"Now that I think about it, maybe Zhou Buyi wasn't wrong. He wanted me to enter the training camp from the beginning, as a pawn in his game."

Lu Yuan recounted the entire story to Shen Qiubing.

After much deliberation, he decided to confess to Shen Qiubing in hopes of receiving leniency.

First of all, Lu Yuan did indeed plug in the USB drive, but he didn't know its purpose, let alone that it was a trap for Shen Qiubing. There's a saying, "Ignorance is no excuse."

Most importantly, he later saved Shen Qiubing, which is called "making amends for his sins with good deeds".

Of course, the reason Lu Yuan chose to speak out was because he valued Shen Qiubing's character.

He didn't have much contact with Shen Qiubing, but in the simulated scenario, although Shen Qiubing was clearly hostile towards him, she still risked her life to protect him out of a sense of responsibility as an instructor. In order to prevent Shen Fuyue from getting into trouble, she was willing to risk her life.

Judging from these circumstances, Shen Qiubing is an upright and compassionate person.

Therefore, Lu Yuan reasoned that, based on the principles of "ignorance is no excuse" and "offsetting one's crimes with merits," there was a 70-80% chance that Shen Qiubing would not do anything to him.

Conversely, if he hadn't said anything, and Shen Qiubing had found out about it sometime later, then things would have been really complicated, and he wouldn't have been able to gain Shen Qiubing's trust.

Moreover, there's a high probability that Shen Qiubing will find out about this later! After all, Zhou Buyi is not trustworthy.

So after thinking it over, I think it's safer to say it now.

"Where's that USB drive?"

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shen Qiubing's face turned extremely gloomy, and she looked at Lu Yuan with increasingly cold eyes, saying in a deep voice.

Lu Yuan was prepared. He took out a USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Shen Qiubing.

Shen Qiubing glanced at him, then turned to Lu Yuan again, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you if you tell me all this?"

"Afraid."

Lu Yuan, however, remained calm and continued.

"But I don't think you'll kill me."

"Where does your confidence come from?"

"Because I had no idea that this tiny USB drive could almost kill you! If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have done it. Besides, even if I hadn't done it, Zhou Buyi could have easily found another student to do it. Ultimately, this is a conflict between you and Zhou Buyi and his group. I'm just a training camp student, at most a dispensable pawn! If you kill me because of this, I'll be innocent!"

"you……"

Shen Qiubing was taken aback when she saw Lu Yuan's aggrieved expression, and then burst out laughing.

However, this is really not the time to laugh.

Shen Qiubing immediately resumed her cold demeanor, picked up the USB drive, and stood up.

"I will find out the truth. You better not be lying, or I will definitely kill you."

You absolutely must find out the truth.

Lu Yuan gave a light sigh, then suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, don't let Zhou Buyi and his gang know that I gave you the USB drive, or Zhou Buyi will definitely kill me without you even lifting a finger."

Are you scared?

How could I not be afraid?

Lu Yuan gave a wry smile, adopting a pleading posture.

"My life is now in your hands."

"snort."

Shen Qiubing snorted softly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.

Without saying anything more, he walked straight out the door.

Lu Yuan knew that Shen Qiubing wouldn't tell Zhou Buyi.

After all, it's just a USB drive; it can't be used as evidence that Zhou Buyi murdered Shen Qiubing. Even if Lu Yuan and Zhou Buyi confronted each other, Lu Yuan's voice carried little weight, and Zhou Buyi could easily accuse Shen Qiubing and her group of false accusations.

Even if Shen Qiubing is young and inexperienced, Shen Fuyue, a seasoned veteran, would surely kill her with a single blow if he made a move.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan believed in Shen Qiubing's character.

Moreover, she vaguely felt that Shen Qiubing seemed to have some affection for him, perhaps because he had saved Shen Qiubing.

Given Shen Qiubing's personality, she would never do something that repays kindness with enmity.

"Oh, right."

Shen Qiubing had already reached the door of the private room when Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something and quickly said another word.

"Could you please speak to HR again? I'm not going to the special operations team; I'm going to the Xingyao Group headquarters instead!"

"cannot!"

Shen Qiubing stopped, turned around and glared fiercely at Lu Yuan.

"Who do you think you are, going wherever you want!"

"But……"

"No buts! What you should be worrying about now isn't where to go, but where to bury yourself if I find out you lied to me!"

"Well……"

Lu Yuan swallowed hard, not daring to say anything more.

Shen Qiubing snorted coldly and left.

After Shen Qiubing left, Lu Yuan sat for a while, sorting out what he had just said, and making sure there was nothing inappropriate before getting up and leaving.

Although he was still in trouble, Lu Yuan felt much more relaxed after explaining things to Shen Qiubing.

After that, I simply stopped thinking about him and focused on practicing Qi cultivation and opening my meridians.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and just like before, there was still no news from Zhou Buyi. Lu Yuan pretended to make two more phone calls, but no one answered.

Shen Qiubing remained silent, which suggested that she had already come to believe Lu Yuan. Otherwise, the warriors of the Broken Mountain Team would have already dragged Lu Yuan out of bed and disposed of him somewhere.

As he continued his cultivation these past few days, Lu Yuan had a vague feeling that he should be opening his third martial meridian soon.

"Hello, this is the Human Resources Department of Starry Sky Club."

That morning, Lu Yuan finally received a call from the club.

"I am now formally informing you that you have been recruited into the Special Operations Team. Please report to the seventh floor of the Star Building before noon tomorrow."

"……good."

The result was still the same. Lu Yuan looked utterly miserable. What kind of mess is this?
