The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Hurry up and update the version, then go to the court of justice and file a lawsuit!"

.........

A tragedy originating in reality has finally opened the door to justice in the virtual world, and a journey of redemption is about to begin for the culprit, Si Anrui!

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Before the Finale

"Ah Duan! Ah Duan!" The impatient woman ran upstairs, panting, and pounded on the door. "Quickly log into 'Perfect Country' and take a look! The fire case from fifteen years ago is going to be reopened for trial!"

Si Suduan, who had just been discharged from the hospital and returned home, was tidying up her room.

Having narrowly escaped death, she has now completely let go of the past.

M Technology Company had previously said that they would first pay the 100,000 yuan returned from the helmet, and then make up the difference if necessary; however, the 100,000 yuan remained untouched in my account, all medical expenses were paid by M Technology Company, and the hospital directly returned a memory card to me upon discharge.

She plans to start afresh by cleaning out the trash in her house, throwing away all the memories and items she couldn't bear to part with. Cleaning the room is also a way of cleaning her heart.

At first, Si Suduan was somewhat resistant, especially when she saw the old photos, she felt a pang of sadness.

But after throwing it into the trash can, she found that the more she threw it in, the simpler and tidier the originally cramped room became. After changing the sheets, the anticipation of finally sleeping on the bed instead of the sofa tonight made her yearn for her new life more and more.

Although I still owe M Technology Company hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt, fortunately they keep saying I don't need to pay it back and won't urge me, so I still have time to take my time; I have 100,000 yuan in savings, and I haven't been laid off from my job at the repair shop, so I won't need to work so hard in the future, I can eat better, and save more, hoping to make a down payment on a house in the inner city in a couple of years...

"What case have you filed?" Si Suduan heard the other party shouting and hurriedly went to open the door to invite her in.

The impatient woman saw Si Anrui's various clothes being thrown into the suitcase as soon as she entered the room, and immediately asked curiously, "You're packing all this..."

“I intend to completely erase all traces of his existence. I have a clear conscience for the past fifteen years, and he has grown into an adult. Since we are going to sever ties, let’s do it cleanly.” Si Suduan pressed, “What did you just say about filing a case?”

"Perfect Kingdom has been updated! A new trial has been added! The victims and their families of the fire from fifteen years ago have filed a joint appeal demanding a retrial. Si Anrui is definitely going to jail!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Didn't the young master of M Technology Company say that you can also appeal to demand the return of the portion of the inheritance you should have received back then?"

After recovering from her illness, Si Suduan's already thin face became much paler.

New regulations have been issued!

Should I file a lawsuit to claim the inheritance?

She remembers the events of that year very clearly. The fire caused such severe damage that even mortgaging all the property and assets left by her parents was a drop in the bucket. The fire consumed not only the factory but also the primary school, kindergarten, and residential buildings. The children and innocent residents who suffered heavy casualties were beyond what money could measure.

If Si Anrui is held accountable, his chances of survival are slim; even if he is not sentenced to death, he will likely face life imprisonment.

In this case, we can either help him escape and hide, or we can simply sue him to recover his assets. After careful consideration, that should be enough to repay the debt owed to M Technology Company.

But if that's the case...

"Wow, tsk tsk, so many clothes, all about 80% new!" The impatient woman's eyes lit up as she rummaged through the box, then she pouted and huffed, "Look at you, you won't even buy yourself a new outfit, but you buy him clothes and pants that make him look all dressed up. What a waste of money!"

Si Suduan's mind was a little confused. Her eyes fell on a cotton-padded coat that she had found, and the fire in her heart was extinguished again.

I spent almost half a month's salary to buy that shirt, just in case he got cold on his way to school early in the morning. Children in the slums are lucky to have a warm shirt. He thought the mass-produced clothes were ugly, so I specially chose the most expensive one to save him the face of a boy!

In the end, all he got in return was his entitled, gritted-teeth curses.

"I don't want any of these. Take them if you like." Si Suduan casually threw the 70% new bedding, pillow, and pillowcase that he had slept in into the box. She then turned around and swiftly swept all the daily necessities, school supplies, toys, and other items she had bought for him into the box, leaving only the expensive books for herself to read.

The impatient woman's eyes widened immediately. "Ah Duan, have you gone mad? These things represent 70% of your belongings! If you throw them all away, your house will be empty! I can't take such valuable things from you. If you really can't, you can sell them secondhand; you can still get a lot of money that way."

“I need to gather information to file a lawsuit, I don’t have the time or the mood to deal with these things. You can take them all, consider this a thank you gift for taking care of me in the hospital these days. Use what you can, wear what you can, and if all else fails, you can sell them for a few bucks.”

Hearing her calmly and confidently mention filing a lawsuit, the impatient woman's face flushed with excitement. "It's so good that you've come to your senses! Let me help you clean up; you just got out of the hospital and you need to rest properly!"

After all of Si Anrui's things were cleared out, the pigeon coop suddenly seemed a bit empty. Si Suduan was left with only a bed, a sofa, two cabinets, a set of cooking utensils, and a few clothes and two pairs of shoes.

The only valuable thing left in the whole house was a pile of books in the corner. She couldn't bear to throw them away, thinking that she would finally have time to read and recharge herself outside of work. Maybe she could even get a diploma and find a proper job after buying a house in the inner city.

The curtains that used to be hanging were removed, and with new bedding and sheets, she lay on the bed she hadn't slept in for many years, feeling incredibly calm.

After putting on the helmet and updating into the game, Si Suduan was stunned by the exciting new map.

Tens of thousands of players have filed a joint lawsuit, and the retrial of a fire case from fifteen years ago has topped the list of most popular cases. From afar, you can see a dense list of victims in bright red, and even the original trial documents from that year have been released in electronic format.

Si Suduan approached the case file downloaded from the virtual screen and examined it carefully.

The property mortgaged to repay the debt was a detached villa in the Barrow Garden community left by his parents. It wasn't a large villa, but it was a high-end community where only the middle class could afford to live. The villa was valued at 40 million yuan at the time. In addition, all the family's belongings were pawned and their savings were also used to pay off the debt, totaling 46.32 million yuan.

The debt settlement agreement clearly states that the property was left by the parents and, according to inheritance law, the property belongs to the brother and himself equally. The pawned items and savings account for the majority of the assets, while the minor only has 100,000 yuan in savings left by the parents.

Since her brother and sister-in-law died from severe burns without leaving a will, according to the inheritance law, Si Anrui can inherit 80% of the half of the property and 6.22 million yuan they left behind, and the remainder is her brother's share of the estate as his younger sister.

In other words, Si Suduan took on responsibilities she shouldn't have had to bear and contributed 25,344,000 yuan in compensation on her own!

She was only sixteen years old at the time, too young. After the incident, she was busy running around with her brother and sister-in-law's funeral and the notary office's guardianship matters. She didn't see the verdict at all, let alone know the value of her family.

She knew that taking all the property would not make up for the victim's losses, and only by giving up everything could she keep the only relative left by her brother and sister-in-law by her side. In order to prevent her nephew from being bullied, she signed to give up all her property.

More than 40 million fifteen years ago!

Si Suduan's heart raced and she felt lightheaded. More than 40 million yuan in sacrifices and 15 years of hard work couldn't bring back her nephew's affection for her!

“I was so stupid, really…” She slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the indignant players who were still swarming forward to file a joint lawsuit. Si Suduan couldn’t help but think that if she had been more selfish back then and hadn’t signed the petition, she could have completed her studies instead of dropping out midway through her studies. She wouldn’t have had to suffer and have her own house and career. That would have been a very successful life, right?

Looking back on everything, she felt like a joke.

Si Suduan found it very funny and burst into laughter. As she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.

She cried and laughed, laughed and cried again. Fifteen wonderful years could never be returned, but her self-pity could come to an end... She didn't know how long she cried and laughed, but she felt weak all over and scratched herself several times before she could get up from the ground.

She wants to sue to end the absurd choices of the past fifteen years and reclaim her share of the inheritance!

Just like my parents hope, I want to be a happy and carefree girl!

The Justice Trial Hall app was overwhelmed with traffic as soon as it was updated, with the fire case receiving the most attention and having the most plaintiffs.

In order to promote online trials, the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments immediately chose to go against public opinion and reopen old cases!

Si Anrui, who was being condemned by everyone, was still unaware of the situation. He was sitting in the passenger seat of Du Xuerui's car, dozing off. She kept muttering about exponents and solid geometry, which made him extremely sleepy.

He wished time would pass quickly so he could get enough money to buy a helmet and make big money in the game with his new identity, and never have to depend on others again! With longing and fantasy for the virtual world, Si Anrui squinted at the advertising screen on the roadside.

"G Technology Company's Top Secrets Revealed!"

The sudden, explosive news and commentary, orchestrated by Little White Cat through G Technology Company's internal network, appeared simultaneously on all visible networks, advertising screens, and even the "Perfect World" social circle, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Under Jiang Chen's specially arranged and frenzied offensive, even the fervor of the trial arena was dampened by two points.

"There's more than one key; as long as Lin Ruochu can get one, that's enough!"

"Don't worry, Lin Ruochu will come back with the key and Jingzhe."

"Idiot! No matter what, the Awakening of Insects was designed and created by Lin Ruochu with her own abilities. She is also our senior design executive!"

"What does Lin Ruochu care about most?... She cares about her younger brother the most!"

"When I sent her infiltrated the organization as an undercover agent, I had her residence monitored. If she showed any signs of betrayal, we would have to weigh whether the game or my brother was more important."

"How about this... let your younger brother go in your place... you have no way out, show your loyalty to me through your actions..."

The scene shifts from the cunning smile of Ji Linyan, the shrewd chairman of G Technology Company, to the internal military personnel deployment. Ji Linyan personally issues an order to surround the house where the technical executive Lin Ruochu lives, ensuring that not even a fly can get out. If the other party does not do as he says, the entire building will be razed to the ground!

The dark, gun-muzzled surroundings, captured by the little white cat, exude a sinister and terrifying atmosphere. The editing, combined with Ji Linyan's wicked grin, vividly portrays his ruthless and unbridled nature in bullying the villagers.

Just when almost everyone was watching with trepidation and secretly lamenting how terrifying the internal competition within large companies was, and how one careless move could lead to the murder of their family members, the scene shifted back to G Technology's most secretive R&D department.

"Preliminary research on nanorobots has been successful!"

"Whether it's injection, food, or drinking water, it can be successfully delivered into the target's body, allowing for precise remote control and real-time monitoring of their life or death!"

Ji Linyan personally directed the deployment of this technology to achieve the goal of controlling life and death, and simulated the expected working state after success. The researchers showed off the finished product with a proud look, making everyone mistakenly believe that G Technology Company had already succeeded!

The video not only revealed the specific list of all the undercover agents in G Technology Company at the end, but also listed the company's production plants, hospitals, and military areas where nanobots were to be deployed for testing, and put on a line of text: "Who still dares to work for G Technology Company?"

If the first half of the story only made G Technology Company employees feel disheartened and consider leaving, and worried that they might also be under surveillance and could be silenced at any time, it did not extend to the general public.

However, the release of the latest research findings on controlling life and death in the latter half of the article instantly caused public panic.

Such a tiny thing that can travel all over the blood vessels!

Most people eat food produced by G Technology Company for three meals a day. If it is released in large quantities, wouldn't everyone be infected without even knowing it?

Life being tough is one thing;

Having your life in someone else's hands at any moment is a different matter altogether; who the hell could tolerate that?

Nanotechnology is a secret research project specially set up by Ji Linyan, known only to a small number of people. Other high-ranking officials are completely unaware of it, and even high-ranking officials from relevant departments are unsettled by this scene.

Ordinary people aren't worth Ji Linyan's threats, but they're different!

If that thing were implanted without anyone noticing, wouldn't my life be in Ji Linyan's hands, and he could do whatever he wanted with me?

G Technology's military zone was also in chaos. It was no secret that they used force to threaten employees. But Ji Linyan's successful development of nanotechnology would definitely be used on military executives first!

After all, whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak, and as the security guarantee for G Technology Company, the military is the one that Ji Linyan needs to firmly control.

After a brief period of panic, countless people rushed to the hospital controlled by M Technology Company, only to receive a despairing answer—M Technology Company currently does not have the corresponding technology to detect the nanorobots that can hide in blood vessels!

"Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?" Lin Ruochu sat in Jiang Chen's office, watching the live monitors as chaos erupted everywhere, feeling a little nervous. "What if the public panics and causes a major disturbance?"

With a solemn expression, he projected the image of the white cat being teleported back onto the large screen and patiently explained, "G Technology's game pod development has entered the human testing phase. If we don't take drastic measures to completely disrupt things and defeat them in one fell swoop, given their ability to control the real economy, they have plenty of ways to retreat."

If Ji Linyan is given time to successfully conduct the human experimentation phase, he will definitely jump out. Even if he doesn't obtain the core secrets of "Perfect Kingdom" and has to settle for enslaving fewer people, wouldn't the players loyal to G Technology Company suffer?

The script in the first recommended section

"Wow! We've got another mission world back! I'm so happy, meow~" As soon as it returned to the script selection space, the little white cat smugly wriggled its little butt, stroked its fluffy big ears, and meowed, "Our glorious history has been enriched with another brilliant chapter!"

Jiang Chen smiled and was about to make a joke when he looked up and saw a script floating among the many scripts. What was very eye-catching was that there were several bright words on it: "Highly Recommended by Popularity!"

"The scripts even have recommendation slots?" He was stunned and turned to look at the equally bewildered fluffy ball. "The main system is quite adept at playing around."

The little white cat cautiously peeked out to observe carefully; it was a script that was neither too thin nor too thick, with an exquisite cover.

It doesn't look like there's a pit.

"Want to give it a try? Let's see what the main system pushed to us?" It scratched at its host with a sly paw, trying to sneak a peek, but failed and looked at its host with some uncertainty.

Jiang Chen recalled what Supervisor No. 003 had said, and he felt that the so-called "popularity push" was probably arranged by the other party.

What exactly does he want to do?

Watch me save the world?

"Let's give it a try, what's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Chen casually picked up the script and glanced at it.

The cover art is gorgeous and mysterious, with a luxurious mirror faintly visible on the left and right, where completely different figures are doing very similar things, making it impossible to guess what the story is.
