Qin Siyang's inner turmoil was not reflected on his face at all.
He turned his back to the computer and stared straight at Wang Defa. His entire face was hidden in the shadows, making Wang Defa's heart constantly hang in mid-air.
Wang Defa swallowed his saliva. His sideburns that extended to his Adam's apple twitched twice, and then a drop of sweat trickled down his chin.
"So, if you want to register with a false sequence at the Sequence Ability User Administration Bureau, you can't just go there directly."
"You have to find someone to help you."
Qin Siyang was shocked again in his heart: For such a thing, there are actually people in the Sequence Ability User Administration Bureau who dare to help with fraud?
Could it be that there are many people like himself who don't want to reveal their secrets to others?
However, Qin Siyang didn't ask these questions, because as an Internet café owner, Wang Defa couldn't possibly know the answers.
He only asked Wang Defa about the things for which he could provide information.
"Find someone? Who should I find?"
"Boss, I don't know who to find either... I'm not a sequence ability user. It's already not easy for me to know this much..."
Qin Siyang sneered: "If you don't know who to find for help, what you've said is equivalent to saying nothing."
Wang Defa hesitated for a while, looked at Qin Siyang in the shadows, and said, "I don't know who to find for help, but I roughly know who to ask to find out the insider in the Administration Bureau."
"The name."
"The blonde female police officer in the police station, Royeliana."
"Royeliana?"
Qin Siyang wasn't familiar with the people in the police station because he had never dealt with the police officers.
Or rather, he had dealt with them secretly, mainly through anonymous battles of wits.
"Yes, Royeliana. The reason I know this is that about three years ago, one day, she came to my place and asked me to adjust the computer for her to use with a hidden address."
"I... I thought she was very beautiful with her golden hair and blue eyes, so I wanted to know what she was doing here."
"So, you monitored her computer?"
"Yes..."
It seemed that Liu Dazhi's character of liking to peek at customers was learned from his boss, Wang Defa.
It's just that Wang Defa knew his limits and knew what to do and what not to do after peeking. And Liu Dazhi only learned Wang Defa's bad habits but didn't learn Wang Defa's scheming.
"On the interface, she had an anonymous conversation with someone about this matter. She hoped that the person could help her fix her identity. As a sequence ability user, what kind of identity did she need to fix? I guessed that it could only be for forging a sequence."
"Later, I heard that Royeliana joined the police station and even had the sequence of a 'Scent Sniffer', which is the most favored sequence in the police station. I became even more convinced that she had a problem."
"If she's really a 'Scent Sniffer' sequence user, why would she be worried about her identity?"
Qin Siyang nodded slightly, thinking that Wang Defa's inference was reasonable. There was a high chance that Royeliana's sequence was problematic.
"Didn't that person leave any clues?"
Wang Defa thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, that person was also anonymous. I only remember that the code name of that person in the chat room was called [Dream Fulfiller]."
"However, the code names in that chat room seem to be randomly assigned and change every day. He was called Dream Fulfiller that day, and no one knows what he'll be called next time. So, I don't think this counts as a clue."
Qin Siyang thought for a while and then asked: "So, what were the terms of their transaction?"
"One silver coin. Royeliana put a silver coin under the floor tile next to the exit of a certain safe zone, and after that person got the money, he helped her forge the registration information."
"Didn't you try to go to that floor tile in advance and steal Royeliana's silver coin?"
Wang Defa smiled bitterly: "Boss, I don't have the guts to do that. If I stole her silver coin, she would definitely guess that I was monitoring her, and then the reputation of my Internet café would be ruined!"
"You also know that I'm just a front man, a white glove, for this Internet café. The majority of the profits still have to be handed over. If the person behind me knew that I ruined his source of income because of my greed, he would definitely skin me alive!"
"You're quite smart."
However, Wang Defa didn't feel happy about Qin Siyang's compliment. Instead, his tone was a bit resentful: "As an ordinary person, I deal with sequence ability users every day. If I'm not clever, I would have died hundreds of times already."
"However, later, out of curiosity, I took the time to take a look at the location of that floor tile."
"Did you find anything?"
"If you're not a sequence ability user, you simply can't get close to that floor tile."
"Why?"
"Because that floor tile is near the gate of the exit of the safe zone, which belongs to the area where sequence ability users rest. Many people come and go there every day."
"Since many people come and go every day, how did Royeliana put the silver coin under it?"
"I don't know. Maybe she specifically chose a time when there was no one around to put it there. Boss, that's all I know."
Qin Siyang remained silent for a long time, thinking about what to do next.
From Wang Defa's account, it wasn't difficult for him to guess that the insider in the Administration Bureau, [Dream Fulfiller], could obtain all of Royeliana's information.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to create a customized forged identity for her.
But this anonymous transaction method made Qin Siyang believe that Royeliana didn't seem to know who this [Dream Fulfiller] was.
This meant that Qin Siyang had to trade with an unknown person and reveal all of his information.
The other party could always hide in the dark.
It was equivalent to giving this person a handle over him, and the person could blackmail him at any time. Qin Siyang absolutely couldn't accept being in such a passive position.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you. However, there's still one more thing I need your help with."
"Go ahead."
"I'm a bit short of money at the moment. Please lend me a silver coin to complete the registration and forge the sequence identity."
Wang Defa was stunned.
Wasn't he working hard and being treated like nothing precisely because of this silver coin?
Now, Qin Siyang actually wanted to take it back?!! Then what was he doing all this for?!!
Qin Siyang also knew that what he was doing wasn't very decent, but he really had no other way to get together the cost of one silver coin.
He couldn't possibly kill someone just for this one silver coin, could he?
"Boss, this is too much, isn't it?!! You're not treating me like a fool, are you?!!"
"I said, this is a loan from you. When I join the Sequence Ability User Administration Bureau, I'll pay you back double."
"You should know that if I wanted to take it by force, I wouldn't have to explain so much to you."
Wang Defa scoffed at the promise Qin Siyang made.
"Boss, I've seen people asking for credit before, but you're asking for a loan of one silver coin all at once. I..."
"I don't have time to chat with you. Lend me one silver coin, or I'll kill your whole family. You can choose for yourself. Oh, and by the way, even if you report me, I can use the things you just told me to drag you down with me."
After saying that, Qin Siyang didn't wait for Wang Defa's reply: "You're a smart person. You know what to choose. Please go out. I need to use the computer. I'll come to the entrance of your Internet café tomorrow night. You give me one silver coin then."
Wang Defa clenched his fists and stood there looking at Qin Siyang's back, not answering.
"Don't do anything stupid. Think about your family."
Qin Siyang casually reminded him.
