"Do you know who did it?" asked Lu Yuan again.
The living room fell silent when he asked that as if the air had beco a pool of settled water, forcing everyone's monts to co to a halt.
Qing Chen was in the kitchen, also holding his breath.
Jiang Xue shifted slightly to a more comfortable position and gently said, "I don't know who did it. Probably so brave young man trying to seek justice. Why do you ask? Do you need to find the person who did it? ”
Jiang Xue was sure that they were looking for Qing Chen.
But no matter what happened, she couldn’t let others find out about Qing Chen because he did it for her and her daughters' sake in the first place.
For the first ti, she felt safe from soone else when she rembered the shadow of the boy holding the shovel.
Lu Yuan remarked with a smile, "Don't get wrong: I think it's great. We're not a law enforcent agency.
The person next to him remarked, "Yeah, the robber's account of how that individual attacked him caught us off guard. We were rely checking to see if he was also a transmigrator.
"We aren't sure yet if he is a transmigrator yet, " Lu Yuan added, “we are just responsible for following on unusual events that have been happening recently. ”
They transitioned quite seamlessly, almost as if they had rehearsed their words beforehand.
Beside them, Li Tongyun said, "My mom and I haven't left the house since yesterday, so we don’t know who did it either. ”
In the kitchen, Qing Chen was a little taken aback by this.
Children are incapable of lying… that was the inadvertent thought of the majority of people.
Li Tongyun's words surely provided a sense of assurance to what her mother had just said.
Qing Chen quickly realized that this tiny child may not be as easy to deal with as he initially expected.
When the girl ca to him for aid, she was terrified at first, but he couldn't deny it.
She'd even kept her transmigrator status a secret from her mother…
This could no longer be just a coincidence.
Jiang Xue and her husband quelled all day, nurtured in this environnt were bound to have a special personality.
Just as he was raised in his family, Li Tongyun was also raised differently from other children.
For so reason, Qing Chen felt like he suddenly found soone that he could relate to.
Soone whose true abilities were well hidden underneath a calm exterior.
That was his intuition.
Li Tongyun suddenly asked, "Uncle, did that young man help us by beating that robber? Why are you trying to find him then? Are you trying to arrest him? I bet you are bad guys! ”
"Oh no," said Lu Yuan's partner, feeling a little awkward. "Don't be mistaken, we are here to help. ”
Lu Yuan added, "Please hear us out, we aren't here to cause any trouble. Since Kun Lun was just founded not too long ago, we are seeking talents who can work well with us. ”
"Ok, I understand,” said Jiang Xue.
"In fact, the Inner World has certain organizations and corporations that have already discovered the existence of the Outer World. From what we know, at least 21 transmigrators were found dead for no apparent reason, and they were all interrogated before they died. There are other dozens who claim to have been arrested in the Inner World by various organizations. Mrs. Jiang, please stay alert. It is very dangerous to be exposed to the Inner World." Lu Yuan reminded her.
These statistics sent a chill down her spine. "Ok, I will." Jiang Xue nodded.
It is quite terrifying being a transmigrator in the Inner World.
At this mont, Lu Yuan's phone buzzed. He glanced at it and told his partner, "He Xiaoxiao posted again. ”
Jiang Xue asked curiously, "Is He Xiaoxiao guy who’s making TikTok videos about the Inner World? ”
"Yeah," Lu Yuan nodded.
Li Tongyun asked, "Uncle, who is He Xiaoxiao? He sure knows a lot. ”
Lu Yuan beca interested, "You know He Xiaoxiao too? We don't know who this person is yet because he conceals his identity well. But sooner or later he’ll leave so evidence… Well anyway, that’s sothing for us to be concerned about. Please accept my apologies for troubling you; we will see you later.
Jiang Xue stood up and said, "It’s a little hard for to move around right now, so I'll just send you off here. ”
As Lu Yuan walked to the front door, he asked, "Whose sneakers are those? ”
Jiang Xue replied calmly, "My husband's. ”
Li Tongyun said, "Yeah, they are daddy's. ”
"Oh, oh, my apologies." Lu Yuan stepped out the door.
As the door closed behind him, Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun both let out a breath of relief.
Qing Chen walked out of the kitchen and let out a breath of relief, "Thank you. ”
"No need to thank us. We should be the ones thanking you.," Jiang Xue said, "If it weren’t because so much has happened to , I shouldn’t have brought you this unnecessary trouble. ”
"Emm… What do you want to eat? I didn’t see much left in the fridge," said Qing Chen.
Jiang Xue told Li Tongyun to take two hundred yuan[1]{Around 31 USD} from her wallet and said, "I haven't got ti to get groceries. How about you get so ribs? You and Xiaoyun are growing, at would be good for you. ”
Qing Chen thought about it and walked out the door with the money.
The walls of the old hallway in his apartnt building were covered with s and peeling paint.
He stood at the top of the staircase and tapped his fingers on the tal railing.
His tapping fingers appeared to be thinking for him.
First, Qing Chen visited ho and changed a pair of shoes before going to the market.
Before he walked out of the neighborhood, he saw the back SUV parked beside the road under a tree. The person inside stared at him closely as he walked past the car.
Lu Yuan carefully glanced at Qing Chen and paused on Qing Chen's shoes.
The people inside the car were silent, and after Qing Chen walked away, Lu Yuan said, "It wasn't him. ”
"You know that there's another person in the kitchen hiding from us, why didn’t you just go in there and take a look? That way, we don't have to be waiting here wasting ti…" The other man asked.
Lu Yuan said speechlessly, "Boss ordered us to keep a good relationship with the transmigrators and to not let them think that we are up to no good. We simply cannot use force. “
"For the ti being, I believe we should rely absorb as many transmigrators as possible into the organization."
Lu Yuan lowered the car's window and lit a cigarette. The smoke flowed in the car.
He exhaled all the smoke from his mouth. "Kun Lun cannot just accept anyone. You know what the boss wants to do in the future, so we have to make sure that our mbers are all working toward the sa goal. ”
"Now what?" His partner said.
"Let's wait a little longer. The person still hasn't left, we should just go ho." Lu Yuan extinguished his cigarette and said, "The new era started, and so are fated to be different. We don't have to find them, they will co to us.”
……
Qing Chen walked to the Jiandong Supermarket before taking out his phone to search for He Xiaoxiao on TikTok.
From what he learned just then since Kun Lun couldn't even find out who He Xiaoxiao was, it ant that He Xiaoxiao wasn’t yet part of the Kun Lun organization.
Xiaoxiao probably found an efficient way to erase his identity.
In modern society today, it is almost impossible to make one disappear without a trace.
A person's phone registrations and ID docuntation could all be found online
Why couldn't they locate any information on him? Kun Lun was clearly an entity with the authority to access such personal records, so how co they couldn't find a ga uploader's identification?
This is, of course, barring the possibility that the individual already has Inner World technology or abilities…
