Daybreak's Coordinated Operation

In the courtyard of Kunlun's headquarters at Lijing Gate in Luocheng.

A group of Kunlun members were sitting around Xiao Ying. Lu Yuan asked with bright eyes, "Were you there when Li Changqing was attacked?"

"That's right," Xiao Ying nodded, "That night, Li Changqing first went to Qing Chen's place to spend the night..."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yuan was stunned. They had called Xiao Ying back from her field mission to find out what had happened, but they never expected the beginning of this story to be so unbelievable.

Lu Yuan said, "What we want to hear is the battle intelligence from that night, not this kind of frivolous stuff!"

A Kunlun member nearby whispered, "Team Leader Lu... we'd like to hear this first."

Lu Yuan: "... Alright then."

Xiao Ying said with great enthusiasm, "I told you before that Qing Chen was brought into the Banshan Manor by Li Changqing. Later, under Li Changqing's arrangement, he became Martial Lecture Hall instructor at the 'Zhixin Courtyard' of the Li Clan Academy."

"Yes," Lu Yuan nodded.

Xiao Ying continued, "After he entered Zhixin Courtyard, he gave those Li family brats a good beating. Later, the Li family's Privy Council assigned him Autumn Leaf Villa in the Banshan Manor, which is said to be where the current head of the family's former teacher lived."

In the Inner World, each family head of the conglomerate possesses power akin to that of an emperor, and the family head's teacher is akin to an imperial tutor.

They may not have much power, but their status is extremely high...

Lu Yuan asked in bewilderment, "Why has Qing Chen's status risen so quickly? Also, if he's only skilled in combat, surely he wouldn't need the Li family disciples to formally become his disciples?"

The Xiao Ying lowered its voice and said, "I heard..."

Lu Yuan slapped him on the back of the head. "We're on our own turf, what's wrong with lowering your voice to create suspense? You better speak properly."

"Oh," said Xiao Ying, "I heard that he obtained the orthodox cultivation method from somewhere, and those Li family disciples became his disciples to learn this cultivation method."

Lu Yuan was taken aback. "Wait, is the cultivation method he possesses from the Knight Organization?"

Lu Yuan had some vague clues in his mind, but he couldn't quite put them together yet.

However, Xiao Ying thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't have anything to do with knights. He's skilled in dual cultivation, and many people within the Li family are saying he comes from the Joyful Sect..."

"Pfft!" The Kunlun members were shocked. "What the hell?"

At this time, Qing Chen was unaware that the reputation of his organization was also beginning to decline in the Outer World.

"It's true," Xiao Ying said. "After those Li family members became his disciples, they all went to the Li family's Privy Council to ask for their families to grant them marriages. You all know that those members originally fled to the army to avoid marriage arrangements, but now that they have the method of dual cultivation, they can't wait to get married."

In fact, Li Shu and the others all signed confidentiality agreements and strictly abided by them.

Therefore, the outside world doesn't know what happened and can only guess.

Xiao Ying said, "A group of people who returned from the army to seek a master and cultivate suddenly demanded that their families grant them marriage. What else could this be but a dual cultivation method...?"

At this moment, Lu Yuan's mind went blank when he heard the term "dual cultivation".

Xiao Ying continued, "That night, Li Changqing received a secret report from an informant saying that they had found traces of Kamishiro Togo."

"Kamishiro Togo, the person in charge of external intelligence for the Kamishiro Family," Lu Yuan said. "I know this person."

"Yes," Xiao Ying nodded, "So Li Changqing came out of the Autumn Leaf Villa at night with a team to capture Kamishiro Togo. Unexpectedly, there was a traitor in the Li family who leaked Li Changqing's whereabouts. Including Kamishiro Togo's sudden appearance that night, it was all a trap. The convoy was ambushed when it reached Changxia Street. Even the snipers that Li Changqing had arranged to ambush were found and killed by the Kamishiro Family and replaced with the Kamishiro Family snipers."

Xiao Ying said, "You've probably all heard what happened next. The sniper appeared and completely disrupted the Kamishiro Family's plans."

Lu Yuan and his group knew pretty much everything about the sniper.

"What's strange is," Xiao Ying said, "That the sniper wasn't arranged by Li Changqing, and even she didn't know who the sniper was. Later, she seemed to have some guesses, and she immediately went back to the Banshan Manor Autumn Leaf Villa look for Qing Chen at the Autumn Leaf Villa, but Qing Chen wasn't there."

Lu Yuan frowned. "Qing Chen is that sniper? Doesn't that mean he's Bai Zhou's boss?"

"No, it was later confirmed that Qing Chen was actually secretly invited to Baopu Tower by the family head that night, which is why he wasn't at the Autumn Leaf Villa," Xiao Ying said. "Moreover, I specifically checked the entry and exit records of the Banshan Manor, and Qing Chen's name wasn't there. You all know how secure Banshan Manor is; anyone who enters or leaves will definitely leave a trace. He hasn't left Banshan Manor."

Xiao Ying said, "The sniper should be the boss of Bai Zhou. Qing Chen and Li Changqing have a good relationship, and Qing Chen is also an important member of the Bai Zhou organization, so it's normal for him to take action."

Just a moment ago, Lu Yuan even suspected that Qing Chen was the owner of Bai Zhou, but he also agreed with Xiao Ying's statement that Qing Chen could not have slipped out of the Banshan Manor without a sound, and Baopu Tower would not have cooperated with Qing Chen to lie.

"The longest shooting distance that Boss Bai Zhou showed in the Outer World was 1100 meters, which our snipers can actually do," Lu Yuan said. "But in this battle, the sniping skills he displayed were terrifying. He hit a stationary target at 2600 meters every time. There has never been such a powerful sniper in the history of humanity in the Outer World. Xiao Ying, let's go pay Bai Zhou a visit."

At the villa, Luo Wanyai's actions were even faster than expected.

Qing Chen had just asked him to buy the villa next door that morning, but in the afternoon, while everyone was cultivating, a lively moving noise came from next door.

Qing Chen went out to take a look and saw that the local tyrant of Luo City was directing his construction team to install surveillance cameras.

When Luo Wanyai saw Qing Chen come out, he immediately ran over from next door with a smile, "I've spoken to the property management company of this villa area, and they're installing a total of 12 surveillance cameras in this area today. Don't worry, Qing Chen, none of the cameras are pointed at your villa. They're mainly for monitoring all the roads, so they definitely won't affect your privacy."

Luo Wanyai continued, "I have set up a monitoring room in my villa, with people working three shifts a day to keep an eye on the surveillance. We will absolutely not allow any unauthorized personnel to approach your villa. If you want to get close, you must register with us first."

Qing Chen listened to the other party's eloquent explanation, he thought to himself that Luo Wanyai was now just as dedicated and responsible as the security chief of the Daytime Base.

"Thank you for your kindness," Qing Chen said before returning to continue giving the Daytime members the empowerment.

Not long after, Lu Yuan and Xiao Ying arrived by car.

As a result, before they even got close to Villa No. 12 in the daytime, a group of fierce-looking men suddenly came out from next door, each carrying a stick.

One of them pointed a stick at them in the Lu Yuan and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

Xiao Ying glanced at the group of idle people, then looked at Lu Yuan: "Captain Lu, does Bai Zhou really live here? I have a feeling we've stumbled upon a criminal gang by accident?"

Lu Yuan was also a little confused. His information was correct; Bai Zhou had indeed moved here.

However, at that moment, Luo Wanyai rushed out of the villa next door, shouting angrily, "Who told you to bring sticks? Keep them hidden on your person and don't show them! I've told you so many times, if someone comes over, be polite and ask them to register, don't scare them!"

After dismissing his men, Luo Wanyai hurriedly approached the car and asked, "May I ask what business you have here?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm here to find Qing Chen and Liu Dezhu."

"Tell me what you need them for, and I'll inform them. Only after they agree to see you can I let you go," Luo Wanyai said politely.

Lu Yuan was filled with questions at this moment.

What has daytime developed into now?!

However, Luo Wanyai added, "But you've come at a bit of an inopportune time; they've all gone out. Why don't you come another day? Could you please tell them your names so I can inform them who came?"

"They went out?" Lu Yuan was taken aback. "Where did they go?"

"Keep it a secret."

Lu Yuan: "..."

8 PM.

In the darkness of night.

Luo Wanyai pulled a black suitcase and quickly walked out of the villa.

He drove alone towards Wangcheng Bridge without any of his men.

In Los Angeles, the Lo River flows through the city, dividing it in two.

Wangcheng Bridge is a transportation hub connecting the north and south urban areas.

Upon arrival, Luo Wanyai unloaded a suitcase filled with cash from the car and waited quietly, wearing a Bluetooth earpiece.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

He waited for a long time, but no one came to meet him.

So much time had passed that he thought no one would come.

Luo Wanyai said in a low voice, "Boss, what if they're not coming?"

"Wait a little longer," an unfamiliar voice said in the Bluetooth headset.

Luo Wanyai was thrilled; he had finally become someone who had spoken directly to the boss.

He looked around, but there were many pedestrians coming and going. Luo Wanyai couldn't tell who was the boss and who was there to make contact. Only Liu Dezhu and a few others were sitting in a restaurant by the roadside, quietly watching him.

In the afternoon, Lu Yuan the villa to look for Qing Chen but couldn't find him, precisely because Bai Zhou was coming here to scout the place in advance.

"Boss, we haven't found any suspicious people here," Liu Dezhu said in a low voice.

However, at that moment, the "boss" in the Bluetooth headset suddenly said, "Qiu Xue, drive and follow that Audi A6 that just passed by."

Under the bridge, Jiang Xue stepped on the gas. "Boss, is there something wrong with this car?"

"Yes," the boss said into the Bluetooth headset, "He's passed by here three times in the last forty minutes. If the two times were coincidences, the three times definitely weren't. He didn't intend to take the cash; he was just observing the situation. Remember his license plate number, Yu C512..."

Bai Zhou and the others, including Luo Wanyai, were all taken aback when they heard this.

At least 20 to 30 cars pass by every minute on this Binhe North Road, so nearly a thousand cars pass by in 40 minutes.

And this boss was able to remember the other party's license plate number even under these circumstances, and he could even remember how many times the other party had passed by.

What kind of brain is this?

Those who came to observe the situation were also quite unlucky. They were already cautious enough, not daring to slow down at all when passing by, but they never expected to encounter an observer with such a terrifying memory.

After Jiang Xue followed, Hu Xiaoniu and the others also drove off in the two Mercedes-Maybach S-Class sedans that Luo Wanyai had given them.

The boss kept reminding her through the earpiece. "Qiu Xue, overtake and turn left. The Niu vehicle continues to follow. Remember the cross-tracking principle. No vehicle should remain in the other's field of vision for more than five minutes."

Jiang Xue: "Received."

Little Cow: "Received."

At this moment, Qing Chen was riding a shared electric bike, carrying Nan Gengchen as they weaved freely through the slow lane.

Eight o'clock is the evening rush hour in Los Angeles, and no other vehicle can travel as fast as an electric scooter.

But the other party would never have guessed that the boss was directing everything from an electric scooter during the day.

The black Audi A6 did not circle back to Wangcheng Bridge, but instead headed north, passing Fanglin Road, Kaixuan Road, and Zhongzhou Road, before heading north.

Sitting on the back of the electric scooter, Nan Gengchen turned off the call button on his Bluetooth headset and asked, "Brother Chen, do you think these Time Walker who work for Shindai and Kashima are forced or doing it voluntarily?"

Qing Chen calmly said, "Don't think about these issues. In an adversarial relationship, it's pointless to pity the enemy."

"Oh..."

"Besides, we don't need to deal with these people," Qing Chen said. "Send Lu Yuan a message and ask him to bring his men over. It's their job."

As the Audi A6 pulled up to the side of the road, two men and two women got out and went into a restaurant, Qing Chen said into his Bluetooth headset, "Xiao Niu, Tianzhen, park the car further away. Ice Eye and A Little Duck are going to the restaurant to eat and wait for the Kunlun people to arrive."

As they were talking, Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen walked in as if nothing had happened, each ordering a bowl of fried noodles, and sat several meters away from the two men and two women.

The moment Qing Chen sat down, his little bone-tending ear sprang into action.

That's why he wanted to go into this restaurant!

Then one of the four Time Walker said, "I've already reported to my superiors that someone brought cash, but I haven't seen any suspicious people nearby."

Another man said, "Aren't the superiors being a bit too cautious? You know, there were two million in cash in that box, and there wasn't a single person following them."

"The higher-ups said that the whole team in Fourth District was killed. The fat guy came to the appointment after being rescued, so there's definitely something wrong with him. Let's not think too much about it," a girl said.

"Okay, let's eat. We have to go to the press conference for Kamishiro Kono tomorrow. Our superiors have ordered us to turn on the musical fountain in the square right when the press conference starts to cover our operation," said the man who spoke first.

The woman said worriedly, "I think it might be a trap."

"There's no other way; we have to go even if it's a trap."

Qing Chen took a bite of fried noodles and thought to himself that the tactic of entrapment really works no matter when.

However, what secrets does Kamishiro Kono still carry that make the other party want to kill her even though they know it's a trap?

Half an hour later, the four finished their meal and went outside, only to be swarmed by Lu Yuan, Xiao Ying, and more than ten other Kunlun members who were hiding outside the door, and pinned to the ground.

Lu Yuan ignored these people and instead rushed into the restaurant to look for Qing Chen.

However, Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen, who should have been sitting there eating fried noodles, had already disappeared.

"To accomplish one's task and then disappear, concealing one's merits and fame?" Lu Yuan amused and exasperated. "This daytime is getting interesting."

He suddenly realized that, without knowing when it started, this Daylight Organization had become somewhat incomprehensible.

This time, Qing Chen didn't give Kunlun the information about these Time Walker for nothing.

Bai Zhou demanded that Kunlun share the reverse Transmigration Plan of the Gods and Kashima, including the time, location, and number of people they would bring to Los Angeles.

This was an equal exchange of benefits, and Bai Zhou had subconsciously placed himself on an equal footing with Kunlun.

Although they are still very weak.

In the executive suite of the Peninsula Aden Hotel in Los Angeles.

The room of Kamishiro Kono was filled with Jiuzhou special agents. They placed a huge map on the dining table. A girl named Tang Keke calmly said, "The deployment work needs to be completed tonight. If we wait until tomorrow, it will be a bit late. There are 7 buildings within 800 meters of Quan Shun Plaza that we need to pay attention to. The security guards in these places need to be replaced by our people. That way, if a sniper goes in, we can detect it in time. After all, sniper rifles are very large and cannot be hidden from our eyes."

A young man named Yu Cheng said, "I agree with Coco's plan; she's never made a mistake before. Although those people probably won't be able to get a sniper rifle or bring such a thing through security, it's always good to be on the safe side."

"By the way, didn't Huan Yu mention in He Xiaoxiao's group chat that the boss's sniper rifle during the daytime was Forbidden Item that could be stored inside the body?" someone said.

At this moment, He Jinqiu was drinking coffee nearby, said, "It's okay, this one seems to be an ally for now, so there's no need to worry about him."

"Okay," Tang Keke continued, "Kamishiro Kono's press conference tomorrow will start promptly at 9:00 AM. At that time, Group 1 will be in plainclothes and blend into the crowd, while Group 2 will be on guard around the perimeter. If I discover that the communication channel has been hacked, I will say 'Everything is normal' in the channel. After receiving this instruction, everyone should immediately switch to the backup communication channel."

At this moment, Kamishiro Kono was lying on the back of the sofa, lost in thought.

She acted as if what was happening inside the house had nothing to do with her.

For security reasons, the curtains in the room were drawn to prevent anyone from spying or sniping.

She gazed at the curtains, wondering, "I wonder if that boy will come to see her press conference when he hears she's going to hold one? But wasn't Prison No. 18 destroyed by the Deity's Scepter? How did he survive?"

A 5,000-word chapter, with another update at 11 PM tonight.
