Chapter 52: Iron Curtain (Added for everyone's votes)_1

```

Jiang Yu quickly adjusted his mindset and said to Kong Xiang with a smile, "Two foreigners running the work in the China Region?"

Kong Xiang offered Jiang Yu a cigarette, "Not only that, but the leader has also put them in charge of the overall planning of the work in the China Region, as well as any adjustments to the plan.

"From now on, I'll just be responsible for training newcomers."

Taking a puff of his cigarette, Jiang Yu thought to himself, "Has Evans gone mad, coming over to China to play at seizing power?"

He knew very well that the Dean Kong in front of him was an expert in the craft of power and strategy, and Evans was likely no match for Kong Xiang in this area.

Jiang Yu asked, "What's Evans's goal in doing this?"

Kong Xiang sat in his office chair, "There's been some conflict of opinion between me and the leader about your issues."

Jiang Yu realized that Kong Xiang had always been covering for him, causing Evans to lose trust in him. That's why Evans took the opportunity of Jiang Shuo's suicide and Pan Han's exposure to send his cronies to usurp power.

Kong Xiang continued, "The two of them, the woman's name is Kalo, and the man's is Celeste.

"As far as I know, Kalo has secretly executed members of the Redemptionist faction."

Jiang Yu caught on, "So, Professor Ye must be very interested in her."

With a smile, Kong Xiang said, "You remember the shooting in Canada earlier this year, involving a famous physicist?

"Well, as far as I know, that was Celeste's doing. I'm sure the police would be eager to arrest him quickly."

Jiang Yu thought to himself, "What did I say! Evans's two confidants can't even finish a single round against the local snake, Kong Xiang!"

After discussing the power grab, Kong Xiang finally asked, "It's so late, what brings you here?"

Jiang Yu replied, "I came from Professor Ye. I just got confirmation that Shen Yufei has betrayed us. She has been leading a Redemptionist rescue plan all along."

Kong Xiang was stunned, then crushed his cigarette butt in the ashtray, "This information couldn't have come at a better time."

Seeing Jiang Yu's confusion, he smiled and explained, "Pan Han and Shen Yufei were quite close personally; everyone thought they would end up together.

"Then a few years ago, Shen Yufei suddenly married some unknown mathematician called... what's his name?"

Jiang Yu prompted, "Wei Cheng!"

"Right, Wei Cheng," Kong Xiang said, "Is he famous in the math world?"

Jiang Yu made up something on the spot, "Not exactly, but I came across some mathematical problems like the three-body problem when playing the Three-Body Game, and I saw some of Wei Cheng's mathematical models when looking up information.

"I don't know much about math myself, but netizens say he's pretty good."

Kong Xiang let out an "Oh," "If I'm not mistaken, that's when Shen Yufei must have started planning her defection, choosing someone random to marry due to ideological differences with Pan Han."

Jiang Yu thought to himself, "Dean, you're only half right; Wei Cheng is a rare mathematical genius, possibly key to solving the three-body problem. Shen Yufei married him just to provide cover for Wei Cheng."

Kong Xiang went on, "It wasn't until Shen Yufei settled down in the country that Pan Han reconnected with her.

"From what I've observed, Pan Han's feelings towards Shen Yufei are complex. He might've known for a long time that Shen Yufei was a traitor, yet he helped keep it hidden, but at times he seemed to despise her to the bone.

"Now that Pan Han is under police surveillance and desperately seeking death, telling Evans that Shen Yufei is confirmed to be a traitor, whom do you think Evans will send to clean house?

"I've heard Pan Han always carries a gun wherever he goes now. If he kills someone, the police would be glad to arrest him, right?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback, "That's... that's too cruel, isn't it?"

Kong Xiang asked, "Do you still remember our discussion about 'the attitude one should have towards others'?"

Jiang Yu recalled, "If someone respects me, I show them respect. If someone harms me, I need not be polite.

"'Returning evil with good' is a misinterpretation that has existed for ages and is not practical. I am not a monk and have no duty to forgive those who have harmed me."

Laughing, Kong Xiang said, "You were able to recite my exact words from back then, which shows how deeply you were impressed."

"I understand." Jiang Yu said.

While Jiang Yu was thinking about how to end Pan Han's physical existence and send him to meet King Yan,

Kong Xiang was contemplating a heart-strike, driving Pan Han to kill a woman he once fancied.

This would kill two birds with one stone, arresting Pan Han before he could do something outrageous and endanger Jiang Yu; it would also eliminate the traitor, Shen Yufei.

Jiang Yu remembered that in the original story, Shen Yufei was indeed shot to death by Pan Han.

In Jiang Yu's mind, a curtain of iron seemed to fall, predestined fate barreling forward.

In a sense, Jiang Yu had facilitated this outcome, and he could make some changes to it. Yet he also felt it wasn't so bad.

Everyone has their own destiny, and Jiang Yu had no acquaintance with Shen Yufei, nor any fondness for Pan Han, so he felt no obligation to help them.

In that moment, Jiang Yu suddenly thought of his conversation with Sixteen and the concept of the "Information Convergence Point".

```

He stepped out of the office building, and the rain poured even harder.

Jiang Yu held up his umbrella and stood in the rain for a while before he hurried toward the dormitory.

Two days later, Jiang Yu learned from Shi Qiang that Pan Han had shot Shen Yufei and was wanted by the police.

However, Pan Han didn't exhibit the disregard for life and death he'd shown before; it was said that he had hesitated for a long time in Shen Yufei's house until Wei Cheng led the police to them. Only then did he make up his mind to act.

Afterward, he didn't end things as decisively as Jiang Shuo; his gun fell to the ground, and he fled in panic, almost being caught by Shi Qiang.

At present, Pan Han dared not show his face in public, so his threat was temporarily alleviated.

Apart from preparing for Yang Dong's birthday party, Jiang Yu disclosed the information about Kalo and Celeste to Ye Wenjie and Shi Qiang, respectively.

Ye Wenjie just responded indifferently, indicating that she got the message.

Shi Qiang acted much faster, finding a pretext to arrest Celeste the next day.

The fellow probably never dreamed that a brief appearance would lead to his demise.

The reason Jiang Yu cared so much about Yang Dong's birthday party was actually for the "Ye-Logic Meeting."

They missed the opportunity to meet because Yang Dong didn't commit suicide but had the chance to meet again because of her birthday.

Every time Jiang Yu thought about it, he found it quite fascinating.

He regarded extending the invitation to Luo Ji as the most crucial part of this plan.

After thorough preparations, once Teacher Luo Ji finished his class, Jiang Yu hastened to catch up, "Teacher Logic, I need to talk to you."

Holding his textbooks, Luo Ji stopped, "Sorry, I have another class this afternoon. I don't have time to tutor you or answer your questions. If you have any doubts, just go read more books in the library."

Jiang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, having heard rumors that Luo Ji was so preoccupied with dating beauties outside the school, he hardly focused on teaching.

Jiang Yu had been skeptical before, but now he couldn't help but believe it.

Indeed, Luo Ji wasn't yet a wallfacer, still a bona fide playboy.

Seeing Luo Ji about to turn and leave, Jiang Yu hurriedly said, "Professor Yang Dong asked me to invite you to her birthday party."

Luo Ji stopped, a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes, "You know Yang Dong?"

A bonus chapter as thanks for everyone's votes and support all this time.

1. The next bonus chapter will be added when the total recommendation votes reach one thousand. Please continue to vote enthusiastically. As always, the author will reward your votes and support with actual bonus chapters.

2. Starting next month, reaching a certain number of monthly tickets will also lead to bonus chapters. The monthly tickets from this month will be counted for next month.

Let's tentatively set the goal for six hundred monthly tickets for a bonus chapter, which should not be too difficult, especially since the book will be listed next month and updates will surely be more frequent than now.

Through updates alone, I might be able to earn about three hundred monthly tickets. With another three hundred from you all, and considering next month's double monthly ticket event, that would already halve the difficulty.

With this month's monthly tickets, the difficulty is further reduced.

I just checked the back end, and so far, [美美的天空是蓝色] has contributed two monthly tickets.

[狂歌道] has contributed three more, consecutively.

[老大米奇] two tickets.

[Stinky Pull-Away] one ticket.

[Jiangxi Fat Bro] three tickets, before and after.

[老当当当当当当当当] one ticket.

[Knife-Sliced Salty Fish] two tickets.

[Xiu Ka Special Envoy] two tickets, before and after.

[German-Owned Cat House] two tickets.

[宙斯的马尾] one ticket.

[云飞] two tickets.

[书友20200427172352835] two tickets.

In total, the twenty-three monthly tickets will also be included next month, and the monthly tickets you cast in the remaining days of this month will be added to next month's tally.

Lastly, I'm humbly asking for more monthly tickets and recommendation votes (＾∀＾）
