The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Female Lead is Mine [Transmigration Into a Novel] - Chapter 92

The entire audience was in an uproar.

After a moment of chaos, someone tried to greet the Queen, “Your Majesty, you…”

“Don’t be so formal, everyone, just carry on as usual,” Hua Xian waved her hand, her tone easygoing. “Don’t be nervous, let’s deal with the real business first. Just call me Miss Xu.”

The soldiers immediately understood. Since Hua Xian was here under a different name and identity, she must not want her true identity to be known. Moreover, the incident in District 33 had just subsided. If her identity was suddenly revealed, it would only make her a sitting duck.

The best way to handle this was to pretend they didn’t know, to continue treating Hua Xian as Xu He, allowing her to handle everything smoothly and leave safely.

Xie Zhitian couldn’t believe her ears. Although she had long heard that the Queen was a very approachable person, she never expected her to be able to set aside her status and come directly to the front lines to fight alongside everyone.

Luo Yang was also surprised. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, “TianTian, can you tell she’s in disguise?”

Xie Zhitian shook her head, “I can’t see it at all.”

The news industry hadn’t recovered yet, so she hadn’t seen a picture of Hua Xian, but she had heard people describe her looks as dignified and stunning. Xu He, on the other hand, had delicate and gentle features that didn’t match the description at all.

Hua Xian’s subordinates were truly capable, they had altered her appearance to be completely different from before, yet it looked so natural.

Xia Fufeng had never seen such a grand scene. She was frozen in shock, desperately racking her brain to recall her actions over the past few days. Had she said anything inappropriate to Xu He, or spoken too loudly…

Tang Zhuoran, seeing her thoughts, smiled slightly and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t worry, you’ve done a good job.”

Xia Fufeng was stunned for a moment, then her face slowly turned red, and she lowered her head and gave a soft reply.

Ding Yao stood still, her eyes welling up with tears. When she was framed just now, she didn’t feel much, just that what was meant to happen would happen eventually. But now, being defended, her heart felt a bitter ache.

She knew very well that Hua Xian had stood up and exposed her identity to back her up. Even if she wasn’t controlled by Li Changhui, the fact that he had leverage over her would inevitably cause concern and dissatisfaction among the surrounding soldiers. If someone acted on their own, it would lead to another chaotic situation.

By doing this, Hua Xian stabilized the situation but put the danger on herself.

Ding Yao pursed her lips and calmly instructed the other soldiers present, “What happened with Miss Xu ends here. No one is to speak of it.”

Everyone understood and nodded, readily agreeing.

Ding Yao looked around. They were about ten meters away from the courtyard wall. Hua Xian’s voice had not been loud, and no one at that distance could have heard her. She felt a slight sense of relief.

She walked up to Hua Xian and stood still, her tone sincere, “Miss Xu, thank you.”

“Don’t be like that. If anyone should be saying thank you, it’s me.”

Hua Xian smiled and patted her shoulder. “Our country owes the Modified Humans too much. I can only try my best to compensate and not let anyone be wronged. But everyone, rest assured, everything will get better and better in the future, I promise.”

Her words made the air on the scene fall silent for a moment. An ineffable emotion was like a stone dropped into water, the ripples spreading quickly. A few soldiers’ eyes were already glistening with tears, but out of fear of exposing Hua Xian’s identity, they didn’t dare to say too much, only whispering their thanks with red-rimmed eyes.

Hua Xian spoke a few more words of comfort without rushing, then turned her attention to Li Changhui on the ground.

Since she had revealed her identity, he had been like a deflated balloon, his eyes vacant, lying motionless on the ground.

Hua Xian spoke calmly, “Commander, do you have anything to say?”

Li Changhui’s eyelids twitched, but he didn’t look at her, pretending not to have heard.

Just then, a female voice came from behind, “I have something to say.”

This voice was… Kong Qian?

Xie Zhitian turned around and saw Kong Qian standing not far from them. She had been up all night trying to get the chip out of Li Changhui, and her clear eyes were tinged with faint bloodshot lines.

When they saw Kong Qian walking over, the expressions of a few Modified Human soldiers changed. Li Changhui was beyond redemption, was Kong Qian going to be soft-hearted and plead for him?

Someone whispered, “What’s going on? Maybe we should ask her to leave for a moment.”

Luo Yang’s tone was firm, “No need. She’s a very clear-headed person.”

The next second, Kong Qian spoke, her voice slightly hoarse but firm, “During his time as the district commander, Li Changhui abused his power, sold supplements at high prices, and murdered his partner at the time to embezzle property. He must have a large amount of property hidden away. Please investigate thoroughly and use this money for the district’s construction.”

The soldier who had wanted to ask Kong Qian to leave felt a wave of guilt. It was true, if Kong Qian was truly an irrational person, how could she have so decisively agreed to help them?

Hua Xian’s eyes changed, and her tone became meaningful. “Miss Kong, you’ve worked hard. But compared to others, you should also consider yourself sometimes. I believe many people are willing to help you.”

Kong Qian was stunned for a moment, and before she could reply, a roar suddenly came from the ground, “Kong Qian! You slut!”

She lowered her eyes and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Li Changhui, who had been like a puddle of mud just a moment ago, was instantly ignited with fury upon seeing her arrival. His eyes almost bulged out of his sockets, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

“If it weren’t for you… if it weren’t for you! You ungrateful bitch!”

“You have done nothing to make me sorry,” Kong Qian looked at the familiar yet strange face and answered coldly. “This is all on you, and nothing more.”

“That’s hilarious. You’re a woman, and you’re lecturing me now.”

Li Changhui laughed maniacally, saying all sorts of nasty things. “I was unlucky to have married you, I admit it. But how are you any better than me? You’re just a used piece of goods, a worn-out shoe that I played with, and you’ll never be able to hold your head up. Oh, and you’re so eager to betray me, did you already have someone on the outside, you filthy, dirty thing who’ll sleep with anyone…”

The words were so foul that Xie Zhitian became angrier the more she listened. She couldn’t understand why men like Li Changhui could be so confident. It was a mutually consensual matter, yet he could put himself in the position of a “user” and treat the other person as a tool to be used. This only showed that he never saw women as his equals.

She immediately wanted to teach Li Changhui a lesson, but she didn’t get the chance, because a figure suddenly stepped forward and kicked him in the face.

Li Changhui was caught off guard. A few of his teeth were knocked out, and blood instantly filled his mouth. He was in so much pain that his face twisted, and he couldn’t speak for a moment, only making whimpering sounds.

It was Nie Keke. She grabbed the man, who was writhing in pain on the ground, and said expressionlessly, “Miss Kong is clean. You are the dirty one.”

Her fingers tightened, and her voice carried a threat. “Apologize to Miss Kong.”

Li Changhui stubbornly held his neck and didn’t speak, but when he saw Nie Keke’s eyes narrow and her hand reach for the dagger at her waist, he immediately broke into a cold sweat and instinctively began to beg, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Qianqian, I shouldn’t have said that! It’s all my fault, my fault!”

Sweat and blood mixed and flowed down his face, making him look completely miserable. Li Changhui cried with a grimace, babbling incoherently, “Qianqian, you’re the best person to me. Please save me! Save your husband, please!”

Kong Qian stared blankly at the person in front of her. She found that she had no pity or sympathy in her heart, only a deep sense of disgust and remorse.

She turned her face away without giving any response.

Nie Keke threw Li Changhui aside and said to Kong Qian, “Miss Kong, thank you for your help this time. I’m really sorry for what I said before about you not being qualified.”

Kong Qian shook her head, “It’s okay. I didn’t take it to heart.”

She wasn’t lying. If Nie Keke hadn’t brought it up again, she would have forgotten that she had questioned her ability when they were making the plan.

She was just that kind of person. She could tolerate a lot of bad things, but as long as someone was good to her even once, she would remember it for a long time, always thinking about how to repay them.

But after this experience, she had learned a lesson. She still believed in love, but she would no longer be deceived by a little bit of goodness. Instead, she would cherish those who were truly good to her.

Just then, a few soldiers ran in, saying to Hua Xian and Ding Yao, “Miss Xu, Captain Ding, all the rebels have been arrested, and we are carrying out the final sweep. The trucks have also arrived and are about to start retrieving the equipment here.”

Xie Zhitian glanced towards the courtyard gate, where several trucks were slowly driving in. Since the matter had been resolved, there was no need to stay. Xu He, Ding Yao, and Nie Keke, as the main organizers, left first to check on the situation in other areas. Li Changhui and a few others were taken away for sentencing. Dozens of soldiers poured into the building to retrieve the equipment.

The air was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. The soldiers were chatting and laughing, even starting to discuss where to go to celebrate after work.

Kong Qian walked against the flow of people and was in a trance for a moment. In her peripheral vision, the people who passed by were stretched into blurs, and the whole world became indistinct.

It was like the end of a carnival. When she came back to her senses, she found herself alone. Kong Qian looked around, and the unfamiliar sights made her realize that she had taken a wrong turn.

She stopped and suddenly didn’t know where to go.

Just then, she heard someone call her from behind, “Miss Kong!”

Kong Qian turned around and saw Xie Zhitian running quickly towards her. She pulled her chaotic thoughts together and smiled, “Is there anything else you need me to do?”

Xie Zhitian stopped in front of her and smiled back, “Are those pieces of jewelry still at your house?”

Kong Qian was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly realized. She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, so much has happened, I completely forgot. Come with me to get them.”

To numb Li Changhui, she had taken a lot of jewelry from Xie Zhitian, and it had worked very well. As soon as Li Changhui saw the jewelry, his guard was completely down, and he quickly fell into the trap.

She had no intention of keeping the jewelry for herself, but she had been so focused on the plan that she had forgotten about them completely. The jewelry had been collected by Li Changhui and was now safely in the bedroom, ready to be returned.

“That’s not what I meant, Miss Kong.”

Xie Zhitian shook her head gently, her tone sincere. “You’ve helped us a lot. These pieces of jewelry are our thank-you gift. Please accept them. I believe they can help you start over.”

From the beginning, Kong Qian had been trying to help them. First, she used her dowry to get a large amount of supplies for the soldiers. After learning the truth, she bravely stepped forward, risking her life to get close to Li Changhui and get the crucial chip for everyone.

Brave and resilient girls are always moving. It was only right that she should be rewarded.

“No, no, these are too valuable. I can’t accept them.”

Kong Qian took a half-step back and quickly refused. “This is what I should do. I’ve never needed any thanks…”

“This is the collective wish of all of us. We hope you will accept it.”

Xie Zhitian looked into her clear eyes and smiled slightly. “Take it, and use this gift to do whatever you want.”
