Just as Yi said.
Humans are strange creatures. Sothing that should be an equivalent exchange, but you feel cheated because the other person completes the transaction too easily.
Therefore, Qing Chen’s decision not to imdiately rescue Luo Wanya after this journey was correct.
At least now, Luo Wanya, driven to a desperate situation and having personally experienced bloodshed, has a completely different ntality.
“Ho Families, you’re finally here! I thought you weren’t coming,” Luo Wanya, tears streaming down his Face[-], tried to grasp Liu Dezhu’s hand. His tears mixed with the blood on his Face[-], making him look as pathetic as could be.
But Liu Dezhu quickly dodged.
At this mont, Liu Dezhu was thinking, what’s wrong with this guy? Who are you calling Ho Families?
“Get out of the car,” he said to the Ti Travelers, “Whatever you want to say, we’ll talk after we leave here.”
“Who are you?” a Ti Traveler asked timidly.
“Does it matter who I am?” Liu Dezhu’s Face[-] turned cold, “You only need to know that I’m here to save you.”
However, the Ti Travelers were terrified, fearing they were falling from the frying pan into the fire, and for a mont they dared not move from the car.
Only Luo Wanya was the most quick-witted. Without Liu Dezhu saying anything further, he got out of the car and hid beside Liu Dezhu.
Moreover, he imdiately covered his Face[-] with his clothes to prevent passersby from rembering his appearance.
Liu Dezhu looked at him in surprise: “You’re quite clever, you didn’t even need to remind you.”
Luo Wanya awkwardly smiled, “It’s second nature.”
Before he successfully escaped, going to the police station was commonplace. To avoid being photographed by reporters, etc., he would subconsciously cover his Face[-].
It was 12 midnight, the busiest ti in District 4.
At the intersection, Liu Dezhu already saw many people whistling at them.
You know, when sniper rifles appeared on Outer World Xingshu Road, everyone was running for cover.
But here in Inner World District 4, after discovering the sniper, people’s first reaction was actually to give Liu Dezhu and the others a thumbs-up and whistle: “Aweso, bro! Your gang actually has a sniper! Which gang are you from? Are you recruiting?”
Liu Dezhu: …
These idle people in District 4, who relish chaos, revere civilian snipers just as the gang mbers in xican slums worship GTRs…
Of course, these people in District 4 aren’t fearless; they’re just used to living a precarious life.
In District 4, wages cannot be paid monthly.
If you pay a month’s salary at once, they’ll spend it in three days. This money might be used to buy new clothes, new phones, new Cybernetic Limbs components, or it might be spent on won, donating the money to those little sisters in need.
Then, for the remaining 27 days, they can only borrow money to survive or resort to robbery.
Therefore, all businesses in District 4 pay daily wages.
Pleasure and happiness are more important than anything to these people, because they don’t know when they might die.
They never have the habit of saving money; everyone is on the bank’s credit blacklist.
Now, as the crowd gathered, Liu Dezhu said in his Bluetooth headset: “Boss, should we still deal with the others?”
Qing Chen calmly said in the Bluetooth headset: “No, let them fend for themselves. Tianzhen, drive the car over there. Xiaoniu, you retreat on your own.”
As he spoke, Zhang Tianzhen stepped on the gas pedal and rushed to Liu Dezhu’s side.
Liu Dezhu picked up Luo Wanya and walked towards the car: “Others, those who don’t want to die, get in. We’re not waiting.”
In the end, besides Luo Wanya, two other Ti Travelers hastily got into the car, crowded in the back seat with Luo Wanya.
Four others did not follow Liu Dezhu. After jumping out of the business car, they ran towards the onlookers at the intersection.
Zhang Tianzhen coldly watched them run away from the rearview mirror, thinking that foolish people can’t even be saved.
Now, everything that should be done has been done; Daybreak isn’t a charity.
However, those four people subconsciously ran towards the crowd, but what awaited them was not freedom.
Those onlookers actually caught all of them at once.
For these people, since there’s a dispute, there must be so value, which might be sold for money.
Luo Wanya silently watched this scene in the car. He wanted to see if the Daybreak Boss would open fire to disperse the crowd and save these four Outer World “compatriots” again.
But no, Luo Wanya ultimately didn’t hear any gunshots.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Tianzhen stepped on the gas pedal again and drove towards the distance.
In the car, the other two Ti Travelers in the back seat were almost suffocated by Luo Wanya in the middle. They felt they couldn’t even breathe.
One of them struggled to look at Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen in the front, curiously asking Luo Wanya, “Who are these two?”
Luo Wanya explained, “These are the heroes who ca to save us, Ho Families! But don’t ask too much; don’t ask what you shouldn’t. I can’t answer.”
The two Ti Travelers were still dazed. If not for Luo Wanya squeezing them, they might have trembled slightly.
They looked at Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen: “Thank you two. Where are you taking us? Will you set us free?”
Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen didn’t answer, and there was no need to answer.
However, Luo Wanya said, “Don’t worry, family mbers. You may not trust others, but you can trust , your family mber. You’ve seen how dangerous this Inner World is. Now, what we need to do most is to listen to the heroes’ instructions.”
The two Ti Travelers said with red eyes, “Okay!”
Qing Chen listened to these conversations, thinking, aren’t Shendai and Koshima brainwashing these Ti Travelers? Why does it seem like Luo Wanya is in charge of this?
Even using “Ho Families.”
In the Bluetooth headset, Qing Chen summarized, “This ti Liu Dezhu perford well, quickly locating the positions of all the culprits. But his subsequent performance needs improvent. When you find other Ti Travelers hesitating, don’t ask ; just take Luo Wanya away. Under such circumstances, there can be no hesitation.”
Liu Dezhu ashadly said, “Sorry, Boss.”
“No need to apologize. This is Daybreak’s first true collaborative operation; it’s already pretty good,” Qing Chen said, “Tianzhen, ask Luo Wanya if he got any important information…”
Before Qing Chen finished, Luo Wanya, who was unaware of the conversation in the Bluetooth headset, had already started talking like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, “I got two pieces of useful information. Those people are definitely going to act in the Outer World soon. My deduction is based on their urgent need for funds, and their request to send us to under King City Bridge imdiately after our return. Soone will be there to receive us. This thod of transferring funds is quite risky, so I guess they don’t have ti to use a safer thod.”
Luo Wanya took a breath and continued, “The second piece of useful information is, when I was reverse brainwashing them, a guard revealed that part of the reason they were leaving District 4 was that there was going to be a fierce battle. They set a trap for soone and planned to kill that person tonight.”
“I think the person they want to kill tonight must be very important, because they inadvertently ntioned that once this person dies, the Li Clan will be furious and conduct a thorough search of District 4,” Luo Wanya said, “So they want to leave to avoid this thorough search affecting us.”
Qing Chen had already put away his sniper rifle and was quickly going down in an elevator.
He didn’t expect that Luo Wanya actually got so useful information in a few days.
Moreover, the other party didn’t ask for any exchange conditions and simply told him everything they knew.
“Tianzhen, ask him why he said all this,” Qing Chen said.
Zhang Tianzhen looked at Luo Wanya in the rearview mirror, “We didn’t ask anything, why did you tell us everything? Don’t you want anything in return?”
Luo Wanya sincerely said, “You saved and my Ho Families; isn’t that enough?”
At this ti, this Luo City big shot had already figured things out.
First, Daybreak’s ability in the Inner World is far more powerful than imagined. Clues that other Ti Travelers couldn’t find, Daybreak could ambush in advance.
This alone is enough to show Daybreak’s strength.
Second, Daybreak keeps its word. They ca to save him as promised, unlike the previous Ti Travelers who took the money and ran.
Finally, Daybreak’s way of handling those unwilling Ti Travelers suits Luo Wanya’s character. They have the ability but don’t act like good guys. This is rare.
But these are Daybreak’s advantages.
Luo Wanya knew very well that no matter how good Daybreak is, they might not even want him if he wants to join.
Therefore, he must quickly prove his worth; he must let Daybreak understand that he is recyclable!
At this ti, Luo Wanya flatteringly smiled, “You saved my life, and you will be my Luo Wanya’s saviors. Whether in the Inner World or the Outer World, Daybreak just needs a word, and I, Luo Wanya, will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
This Luo City big shot put himself in the lowest position right away, only seeking a chance to join Daybreak!
He knew that Daybreak treats its mbers well. As long as he can join, he won’t be treated as a slave.
Zhang Tianzhen looked at Luo Wanya through the rearview mirror and smiled, “Want to join Daybreak? Mr. Luo, this isn’t sothing money can solve. It depends on the Boss’s mood.”
“No, no, no,” Luo Wanya quickly smiled, “How can you call Mr. Luo? Just call Xiao Luo.”
Liu Dezhu looked at Luo Wanya’s haggard Face[-] and felt a toothache.
In terms of shalessness, probably no one in Daybreak could match Luo Wanya.
At this ti, Qing Chen said in the Bluetooth headset, “Let’s not chat with him now. Take him to Zhang Chengze and find out the identities of the other two Ti Travelers. Keep the useful ones and release the useless ones.”
“Boss, where are you going?” Zhang Tianzhen asked.
Qing Chen: “I have more important things to do.”
Liu Dezhu: “Do you need my help?”
Qing Chen: “No, you can’t get involved in tonight’s matters.”
Because tonight’s matters are too dangerous.
According to Luo Wanya, Shendai and Koshima were going to kill a big shot tonight. But how big of a shot would be considered a big shot, soone whose death would make the Li Clan thoroughly investigate the entire District 4?
At this ti, which Li Clan big shot is still outside the Ban Shan Mountain Estate?
Li Changqing!
The newly appointed head of the Li Clan intelligence agency!
Qing Chen’s first reaction was that Li Changqing was in danger.
He knew that only the death of this level of figure would thoroughly enrage the Li Clan.
And it could also severely cripple the Li Clan’s entire intelligence system before the Federation civil war broke out.
Qing Chen pondered who was leaking Li Changqing’s whereabouts. Such a trap would be impossible without an inside man.
Li Yunyi.
Li Yunyi, who had just been stripped of his power in the intelligence agency by the old man!
The young man knew one thing, if sothing is too complicated to see the truth, putting the word “interest” into it is enough to clear the fog.
He wasn’t sure if Li Yunyi colluded with Shendai and Koshima, but there was definitely a connection.
Qing Chen called Li Changqing, but there was only static on the phone; it seed that the other party’s signal had been jamd.
Qing Chen was even more certain that Shendai and Koshima’s target tonight was Li Changqing; soone was deliberately blocking Li Changqing’s contact with the outside world!
After coming down from the building where the sniper was, he ran like the wind on the streets of District 4. He had already gotten clues about Qing Wen and Qing Zhong from Li Dongze. As long as he found these two, he might find Li Changqing.
Although he hadn’t known Li Changqing for long, he didn’t want her to die.
At this mont, the surroundings were filled with dazzling neon lights and shadows. Huge blue whales were swimming above, creating a sense of grandeur and unparalleled oppression, almost suffocating.
Qing Chen ca to the place Li Dongze ntioned to wait.
But the next mont, sothing unexpected happened.
That Shadow Candidate nad Qing Zhong, under the protection of several attendants, was fleeing quickly.
Qing Zhong was injured, with blood flowing from his waist and abdon.
Those more than ten people passed Qing Chen, treating him as a passerby, completely unaware of the danger nearby.
However, Qing Chen didn’t take action. He looked towards the direction behind Qing Zhong and others, and saw Qing Wen and more than ten people quickly chasing after them.
Also quickly passing Qing Chen.
The fight between Shadow Candidates seed to have nothing to do with him.
Should he kill them?
Qing Chen looked at their backs and rembered the promise of that Qing Family Shadow.
This is the best chance for him to kill Qing Wen and Qing Zhong.
Qing Chen was very familiar with the terrain here. He just needed to find a high point, and he could easily kill these two.
He could directly shoot on the long street, but then the Guardians around Qing Wen would probably turn around and kill him imdiately.
If it ca to close combat, Qing Chen could only run away; he might not even be able to escape.
But what about Li Changqing? Qing Chen didn’t see Li Changqing!
The young man stood on the long street, silently looking at the dazzling neon lights and the glamorous city. Killing them, clearing two obstacles for Shadow Succession, or saving soone he had only known for less than a month?
But a few hours ago, he had just told her that they were friends.
Qing Chen imagined her climbing onto the roof, tying the careless copper bell to the eaves.
Whenever he rembered that she even carefully tied a beautiful bow, he felt like laughing.
Qing Chen recalled her in the hut in Autumn Leaf Manor, like a little girl expecting a gift, extending her little finger, hoping to make an agreent in this childish way, letting Qing Chen take her to secretly play in the city as an ordinary person.
This kind of agreent has no binding force.
But an agreent is an agreent.
Qing Chen calmly said, “Yi, help find Li Changqing’s location.”
“Do you want to make a deal? You have to do sothing for ,” Yi asked.
“Okay,” Qing Chen said.
“You haven’t even asked what it is yet,” Yi wondered.
“I agree!” Qing Chen said.
“Red-light district, turn left, 5102 ters to the target.”
The young man suddenly turned around on the long street, his whole body bursting with unparalleled bloodlust.
Qing Chen sped across the long street, passing countless people who were about to celebrate.
He couldn’t care about what happens later.
But Li Changqing cannot die tonight.
…
…
District 4.
Li Changqing’s motorcade was quickly passing through the district.
On the road, all vehicles gave way when they saw the auspicious cloud logo on the cars.
Li Changqing hadn’t even had ti to change her clothes. She sat in the back seat of the bulletproof car in the middle of the motorcade, silently looking at the LCD screen in her hand.
“It’s confird that when Qing Wen and Qing Zhong clashed, Shendai Tougo appeared?” Li Changqing asked.
“Yes, I checked the chanical eye data of the informant; it was indeed Shendai Tougo,” Lao Jiu said, “I was also a little strange at first. I searched for him for so long without finding him, why would he suddenly appear? But after I specifically confird it, I found that it was really him, even his walking posture is exactly the sa as in my mory.”
“Is the informant following him?” Li Changqing asked.
“Yes,” Lao Jiu looked at the tracking device in his hand, “The informant’s mark has stopped; Shendai Tougo may have stopped moving.”
“Hmm,” Li Changqing nodded, “Contact him and ask about the specifics. Also, let the special forces team co over and don’t let Shendai Tougo escape again.”
Previously, Li Changqing told Qing Chen that she was out at night because of Qing Wen and Qing Zhong.
But in fact, matters between Shadow Candidates couldn’t make her pay so much attention.
Li Changqing was going to catch this Shendai Tougo tonight.
However, this is a secret, and she can’t tell Qing Chen.
“By the way, why did Qing Wen and Qing Zhong clash?” Li Changqing asked.
Lao Jiu in the passenger seat smiled, “Our informant’s report is that Qing Zhong recently fell in love with a dancer in District 4 and goes there every day. Qing Family’s fourth branch, as the big shot of City 18, naturally easily obtained this information. Then, because of Qing Huai’s death, they have no hope of fighting for the Shadow position, so they turned to Qing Wen and set an ambush in advance at the dancer’s residence, intending to directly kill Qing Zhong.”
“I thought there would be so tricks, but it’s still just killing and fighting,” Li Changqing lightly said, “The Shadow Candidates of this generation don’t seem to be very capable. But Shadow Succession has always been like this; the most ruthless character won’t show up until the last mont. What’s the situation now? Is Qing Zhong dead?”
“No,” Lao Jiu shook his head, “The informant said that the Guardians around Qing Zhong were killed, and Qing Zhong is fleeing. I sent people to check the dancer’s residence; there were indeed dead tahumans, and even the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal arrived.”
“Forbidden Artifact Tribunal?” Li Changqing was stunned, “Just a C-level Guardian; why would those crows arrive so quickly? Did they foresee that a higher-level tahuman would die?”
