Opportunities of the Era

Qing Chen knew that Nan Gengchen still had some questions to ask, such as why he appeared at Laojun Mountain, why he learned how to kill, and why Liu Dezhu called him his subordinate.

But these things can't be discussed on WeChat, so after Qing Chen had almost finished pretending on WeChat, he ended the chat.

After all, if outsiders see it, it will cause some trouble.

His appearance at Laojun Mountain can be explained, as can his learning how to kill.

However, there are difficulties in the relationship with Liu Dezhu.

These arguments might fool Nan Gengchen for now, but they certainly won't fool a smart person.

However, Qing Chen had already made preparations in advance. If one day this clue was brought up, he would abandon Liu Dezhu as a puppet and tell everyone another story.

To be honest, Qing Chen was somewhat moved after talking with Nan Gengchen.

What kind of revolutionary friendship is it when the other party is living off a woman while still thinking about helping you out?

Anyone would be moved.

Qing Chen browsed through the news online, but because he had just returned, even if some people posted news about the Inner World, it didn't make it to the trending topics for the time being.

Typically, such news is discovered around 7 a. m. and then quickly gains popularity.

Unless it's a "big account" like He Xiaoxiao or Chuang Wang, who already have a lot of followers.

However, both accounts are currently in a state of silence.

Qing Chen slowly fell asleep. After spending several days in the wilderness without eating or sleeping well, being able to catch his breath in the Outer World was a rare moment of relaxation.

But this return will not be easy, because an even more dangerous journey awaits him in the Inner World.

Inside the Third People's Hospital of Los Angeles.

Just after midnight, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen, who were lying in bed, opened their eyes.

At this moment, the entire surgical building was brightly lit, and all the attending physicians and experts were waiting outside the ward to conduct a thorough examination of Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen.

The ward was already equipped with various medical equipment, including ventilators, micro-injection machines, electrocardiographs, and multi-functional blood purification devices.

In the adjacent operating room, a surgeon was also standing in front of the operating table, having completed sterilization procedures, ready to perform a high-intensity surgery at any time.

All of this.

The purpose was to prevent Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen from suffering serious injuries in the Inner World, so that they could immediately begin emergency treatment upon their return.

After all, no one knows what the Time Walker will experience in the Inner World.

For example, people like Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen, who suffered severe abdominal injuries, could very well die there.

Hu Xiaoniu's family is extremely wealthy, so wealthy that they can give away watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars without hesitation, and so wealthy that they can get the best surgeons in Haicheng to fly to Los Angeles and be on call 24/7.

Compared to Qing Chen, Time Walker who has to fight to the death even when injured, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen are probably enjoying the best treatment.

But the world is fair; the two of them don't have such power and wealth in the Inner World.

"Heartbeat is normal."

"Blood pressure is normal."

"The abdominal wound is healing well..."

The doctors quickly reported a series of updates, and only then did the dozen or so doctors finally breathe a sigh of relief. The two students were out of danger, and it seemed that their recovery was better than expected.

In fact, the two received more advanced medical treatment in the Inner World. After the Wang Yun incident, the Time Walker hired by the Hu family raised money to send the two to the Qing Family Private Hospital in the Third District of City No. 7.

In addition, a targeted treatment plan involving blood cells and collagen was implemented to promote rapid wound healing.

Their injuries have not worsened, and they may be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days.

Of course, after a few days, there will only be general relief, and strenuous exercise should still be avoided for a month.

A doctor initially wanted to ask Hu Xiaoniu to cooperate in researching medical technology in the Inner World, but then realized that the Hu family would never agree, so he didn't bring it up.

Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen slowly woke up. Hu Xiaoniu's father, Hu Dacheng, asked, "How are you feeling? You shouldn't have been injured a second time in the Inner World, right?"

"No, thank you, Uncle Hu," Zhang Tianzhen said.

Hu Xiaoniu said, "This time it went even more smoothly than I expected. I didn't get injured and even received some help."

"Is Wang Yun dead?" Hu Dacheng asked.

"He's dead," Hu Xiaoniu nodded, "But I didn't kill him."

"Oh?" Hu Dacheng was somewhat surprised.

Hu Xiaoniu explained in detail, "Dad, you helped bribe the Time Walker around her, and we successfully found Wang Yun's whereabouts. But the other side was better prepared and had more Time Walker with them than we did."

"Hmm, don't underestimate the Wang Family's power," Hu Dacheng said. "The Wang Family has been established in South and Central China for a long time, and it's quite easy for them to win over some Time Walker to provide convenience for their family members. So why did you say it went smoothly? How did you kill her?"

Hu Xiaoniu explained, "Li Shutong made his move; he directly sent someone to kill Wang Yun."

He didn't mention Heng Society Li Dongze because Hu Dacheng wasn't Time Walker, and he couldn't explain it in too much detail to his father.

But Hu Xiaoniu had explained Li Shutong to his father before, so Hu Dacheng understood after hearing this.

Hu Xiaoniu continued, "I guess Liu Dezhu asked Li Shutong to get rid of Wang Yun after he arrived in the Inner World. Judging from this, Liu Dezhu must have held a very high position by Li Shutong's side. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have helped even a lowly henchman ask you to kill someone."

"Yes," Hu Dacheng nodded.

However, at this moment, Hu Xiaoniu changed the subject and said, "But the more energy Liu Dezhu shows, the more I feel that there is another Time Walker behind him. A Time Walker with real potential and qualifications who has already been valued by Li Shutong."

This speculation is similar to Zheng Yuandong's reasoning: how could a cowardly, timid, and unintelligent person get a real big shot to do so much for him?

The more Li Shutong did for Liu Dezhu, the more Hu Xiaoniu felt that Liu Dezhu was unworthy.

Hu Xiaoniu said earnestly, "Dad, I trust my judgment. You live in a peaceful era, so it's hard for you to imagine how terrifying the truly powerful figures in the Inner World are. Those kinds of people wouldn't make a fuss over a nobody like Liu Dezhu. Besides, I've learned about some of the promotion rules. Liu Dezhu screamed for five hours after he came back from his travels, which is exactly the same time as the transformation time of the gene serum. But Li Shutong himself is a person with a lineage, and he doesn't bother using the gene serum at all."

Hu Dacheng smiled and said, "As long as you have the ability to think independently, it doesn't matter whether your judgment is correct or not. You are still young and have many opportunities to try and fail."

"Dad, do you support me staying in Los Angeles? I think the person behind Liu Dezhu must also be in Los Angeles," Hu Xiaoniu asked.

Hu Dacheng suddenly changed the subject. "Son, why do you think I'm successful in business?"

"Because of wisdom?" Hu Xiaoniu asked hesitantly.

"No," Hu Dacheng laughed, "It was because of the opportunities presented by the country's reform and opening up. I was just a little smarter than others and seized that opportunity."

Hu Xiaoniu asked, puzzled, "Dad, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Now, your opportunity has arrived," Hu Dacheng said after thinking for a moment. "An unprecedented transformation is just around the corner. This is a miraculous event that has never happened in thousands of years. Stay in Los Angeles; your opportunity is right here. Don't try to find the person hiding behind it all. As long as you prove your worth, he will naturally come to you."
