After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 209 - 206: To be precise, I’ve always been watching you

Chapter 209: Chapter 206: To be precise, I’ve always been watching you

Her long statement undoubtedly annoyed many people who began to say that if she was involved in the online world, why couldn’t she accept criticism? They claimed they were stating facts and wondered if she thought that sending a lawyer’s letter would scare them off.

Some people took advantage of their private accounts, thinking that Ji Tian, no matter how capable, couldn’t find them; some even used other people’s real names to post, emboldened and hurling harsher insults.

It was only after the first private account received a court summons that the comments under her Weibo quieted down.

Some people just won’t cry until they see the coffin. As for who had hired the troll army, she had no clue.

Just as she was pondering how to investigate, Qin Jiangsheng sent her a message: "The troll army was hired by Bai Tingyu."

He also attached a screenshot.

Ji Tian’s eyes lit up, and she replied instantly, "How did you know?"

Qin Jiangsheng: "I looked into it."

She paused slightly, considering that from the moment she was attacked to the time she issued her statement only about three hours had passed. To investigate people in this timeframe, one had to act immediately, but she was busy taking screenshots and gathering evidence.

After hesitating, she tapped the screen lightly, "So from the very beginning of this matter, you’ve been paying attention?" freёnovelkiss.com

Ji Tian suddenly felt a bit nervous, staring at the screen, seeing that the other party had been typing for a long time but not replying. Just as she thought there was a glitch with the messaging app, he finally responded.

Qin Jiangsheng: "To be precise, I’ve been paying attention to you all along, Tiantian. Although the time we see each other every day is very short, and we may not even meet, I have always been behind you, just turn your head, and you will see me."

Turn around...

Driven by an inexplicable urge, Ji Tian looked out the window. On the exterior corridor, Qin Jiangsheng was leaning against the balcony, looking down at his phone. Sensing something, he looked up and smiled at her.

The normally stoic Qin Jiangsheng, the few smiles he had, were all for Ji Tian.

Even Ji Tian found it odd—she didn’t know why she had always tried to get close to Qin Jiang since their first meeting. There were many ways to increase affection value, but she wanted him to remember her deeply. She could be tough on everyone else but always left some room to compromise for him.

That day he was sick, she could have refrained from kissing him, but his pitiful look made it impossible for her to resist feeling soft, and even his clumsy way of expressing his liking for her, she found excuses to avoid offending the powerful antagonist, but in truth, she just didn’t want to reject him.

If this world had been restarted several times, did she and Qin Jiang know each other?

Ji Tian typed a few characters: "Thank you."

And sent a cute little bear emoji.

The bell for class rang, and they both headed back to their classrooms.

When Ji Tian looked up again, he was gone.

She couldn’t help but ask in her mind, "King of Competition, if this is my last life, how many lives have I experienced before?"

The King of Competition appeared leisurely, holding a pack of batteries Ji Tian had given him, eating them like chips: "Two, this is your third life. Heavenly Dao created this world with numerous flaws, and your awakening consciousness was unexpected. So, when the world’s storyline approached a perfect ending, it would reset. Host, if you still fail to save yourself in this life, it will be the same as never awakening again. The world will continue as usual, and you will cease to exist."

Ji Tian understood the principle of survival of the fittest.

Finding the world’s flaws amidst layers of restrictions is both a blessing and a curse.

They had their own thoughts, flesh and blood, not cold machines.

"Is there a way to evoke the memories of my past lives in the people around me, at the very least to know the plot of this world?"

The King of Competition shook his head: "Nope, very few can awaken. After a reset, their memories get sealed. Unless someone has a very strong subjective consciousness, they might get vague memories through overlaps with past life fragments. Many people would just think it’s a dream, or they’re walking in circles. Even you haven’t awakened any sealed memories."

Ji Tian: "..."

Sorry, but she couldn’t remember. Maybe there was nothing important...

The King of Competition, full and content, patted its eggshell, half slumped, and sighed, "The antagonist boss of this world is still formidable. I heard that in the first world, he almost overturned the system created by Heavenly Dao. He gave up in the end, leading to your second and now third lives."

"You mean Qin Jiangsheng?"

The King of Competition: "Who else would the antagonist boss be?"

"Why? If he could, why give up on ending our plight? If he succeeded, we would control our destinies, not just follow some so-called storyline."

The King of Competition fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "I don’t know either. That’s just what I heard while serving time in the System Star Prison. And about the first world, it was just an experiment. Since it wasn’t successful, so-called ’transmigrators’ and order keepers were added to this world."

Essentially, the King of Competition was also working a job. How could it obtain such detailed information about the boss? That it could tell her this much was already not easy.

"Okay, thank you."

The King of Competition seemed a bit embarrassed, "Stop it, don’t mention it. If you really want to thank me, bring me a few hundred more bottles of shower gels. I’m running out."

Ji Tian: "..."

"How do you use them up so quickly? I gave you a hundred bottles just last time."

It blushed awkwardly, "I used to use one bottle at a time when conditions were poor. Now that I have better conditions, it’s ten bottles each time. You promised to take care of me, don’t lie to me!"

"..."

What a wasteful creature.

Who bathes like that? She had really raised a gold-dissolving creature.

Ji Tian’s consciousness returned from the sea of knowledge, and she looked at her phone. Qin Jiangsheng had sent her a picture of pink baby’s breath, asking, "Do you like it?"

She hadn’t replied to him yet.

So in the first world, Qin Jiangsheng had almost succeeded, but then he gave up. Why was that?

How did he nearly overturn the rules, given that Heavenly Dao is so elusive, almost no different from a ghost because it has no physical form?

If she could awaken his memories from the first life, could it potentially make things much easier?

But Ji Tian didn’t know what mattered enough to Qin Jiangsheng to stir his sealed memories, because she knew so little about him. It seemed now she needed to observe him at all times.

So she replied, "I like it. This afternoon, I have an interview at KI Research Institute. Can you go with me?"

Two seconds later, he replied, "Okay."

Perhaps feeling that the single word was too curt, he sent a smiley emoji.

Ji Tian found it funny whenever she saw this built-in emoji. She usually sent this smiley when she was angry or annoyed, the irony of it.

Ji Tian: "Mm, let’s meet up after school without fail."

The end of the school day arrived quickly, and Ji Tian packed her bag and headed out.

Qin Jiangsheng was already waiting in the corridor, with Class 2 just next door, very close.

He stood very straight, with his neat short hair partially covering his brow. Qin Jiangsheng always had an indifferent aura, standing there as if he commanded his own territory, and other students made a point of walking around him.
