Bluffed Them Silly
When Yang Yang left Luocheng, she said that she was going to do something in the south.
Now that I think about it, it must also be related to the wild tribes in the south, right?
Although the other party was flying north.
But if you calculate the time, even if it really circled the earth, it should have already reached the south.
Unlike the other members of Daylight, Yang Yang doesn't need to rely on anyone to exist, and she has her own goals. Sometimes Qing Chen feels that the force field ability is the most suitable ability for this girl, so that she can fly freely.
That's not the point. The point is, among the people receiving supplies in the south, will there be any Yang Yang among them?
Thinking of this, Qing Chen felt a little relieved.
At this moment, Qing Chen looked at Guo Huzhan. This bald man was there to meet the Freemasons and take the supplies they were transporting to the south.
This plan must be classified, otherwise Mr. Shadow wouldn't have needed to use such a group of students as a cover.
Therefore, when Guo Huzhan saw that Qing Chen and the other three outsiders were present, he should have either killed them to silence them or led his team to shake them off.
Qing Chen looked at Guo Huzhan, who was also sizing him up.
Guo Huzhan smiled at Qing Chen, thinking he was being friendly, but the other man's burly figure, the barbaric tattoos on his face, and his bald head...
They looked like malevolent bandits from the wilderness.
Qing Chen smiled as well. He couldn't let this guy recognize him, otherwise, if he brought up the old grievances of "Xu Linsen", he might be targeted for revenge.
We'll discuss everything once we see Yang Yang.
The next moment, Guo Huzhan got back into his car, seemingly ready to take over as team leader.
Qing Chen looked at the old man. "Let's be careful. If things get really bad, we should distance ourselves from the Freemasons. Otherwise, they might try to cover up their secrets..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the old man walk over to an SUV and say excitedly, "The car is quite spacious inside. I shouldn't have any problem sitting here, right?"
Qing Chen: "..."
He suddenly realized how incredibly generous the old man was.
It was one thing that there was only a group of Freemason students before, but now even Spade has appeared. They even dared to mingle among the Freemasons. Is this what they mean by "high skill and great courage"?
Qing Chen glanced around, secretly wondering where Li Yunjing was hiding. He didn't want the old man to mess things up.
At this moment, the old man, whose legs were a little weak, smiled at the female students in the car and said, "This SUV has too high a chassis, could you give me a hand?"
"Yes, yes," the female students quickly replied.
Before they could even reach out, they saw Qing Chen appear behind the old man, pick up the old rascal, and carry him away.
The old man was both amused and exasperated. "You just can't stand to see me happy, can you?"
Qing Chen said expressionlessly, "Couldn't you at least pick a time to play around?"
He helped the old man back into his car. The old man looked at Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu and said, "You two be the judge. These female students from the Time Walker have never seen what the Upper Third District are like. Is it dangerous for me to tell them stories about the Upper Third District?"
Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu stared straight out the window, pretending not to hear.
Having spent more than a day in the wilderness, the two of them had at least realized one thing: outsiders should never get involved in the arguments between these two big shots in the back row.
Sitting in the car, Qing Chen patiently explained, "As you've seen, the Freemasons' trip to Forbidden Zone No. 002 isn't simple; they're very likely supplying the wilderness on behalf of the Qing family. In this situation, it's not unreasonable for Spade to kill and silence witnesses to keep the secret."
The old man chuckled and said, "You silly child, why are you always so tense no matter where you go? You're here on vacation, but you still have to be so worried. I advise you to be more relaxed like me and enjoy life."
Qing Chen pouted. "You don't have many days left, but we have a long way to go."
Li Ke's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, he found that his grandfather did not seem angry.
The old man chuckled and said, "Let me analyze it for you. They most likely had medicine on their vehicle. The Li family's intelligence department has long been aware that every early winter, a batch of medicine suddenly appears in the wilderness to help the Wilderness People survive the winter. Previously, it was smuggled out by wilderness hunters, but in recent years, after being discovered, they've switched to other methods. However, what's a bit strange is that now that Li Changqing has taken over intelligence, border control is very strict. How could they possibly smuggle the medicine out?"
"It could be something else. Was it the Qing family that sent medicine to the wilderness?" Qing Chen asked curiously.
"Yes," the old man thought for a moment and then added, "98% yes."
Qing Chen calmly said, "You're not exactly a meticulous person, so there's no need to add percentages like that so casually."
The old man chuckled, "The supplies were sent to the wilderness by the Qing family, and the logo on our vehicle is also from the Qing family. Don't you think Spade will have any doubts when they see the four of us? What if the four of us are in the wilderness to supervise the Freemason students as they transport the supplies to their destination? So don't worry, that kid Guo Huzhan won't do anything."
Although the conglomerate is divided into numerous factions, some of which are bitter enemies, to outsiders, the Qing family appears as a unified entity.
Now, the ginkgo leaf logo on their car is probably puzzling Guo Huzhan.
The old man chuckled, "Just you wait and see, that big oaf will find a way to confirm it."
After saying that, he turned on the SUV's stereo and played some upbeat music. The old man sat in the back and swayed along with it until he fell asleep.
After leaving the Banshan Manor, the old man's mental state deteriorated rapidly.
Or perhaps, Qing Chen and the others had never spent time with the elderly before, so they only saw the elderly person's energetic side and not their weak side.
Li Ke, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned off the music and looked at the old man with concern. "Master, I see that Grandpa's health is deteriorating rapidly. Should we invite two female classmates to come and chat with him? Our SUV is big, and there are three seats in the third row in the back."
Qing Chen glanced at the old man. He was a little afraid that if Li Ke mentioned the words "female classmate," the old man would suddenly open his eyes and say "okay."
However, it didn't happen.
The old man's breathing became much weaker.
Qing Chen knew that the old man really didn't have time left. His usual energetic appearance was all a facade; it was a spirit of true optimism until death, a desire to say goodbye to the world in the most dignified way.
At noon, the convoy took a short break by the roadside.
Just as the old man had predicted, Guo Huzhan seized the opportunity to approach Qing Chen and the others to inquire, "Everyone, what are you planning to do in the south?"
Before Qing Chen could answer, the old man in the back row suddenly opened his eyes and smiled, "We send our greetings to Spade on behalf of Mr. Shadow. Don't worry, we are just confirming that the supplies have been successfully delivered to Spade. We have no ill intentions."
Qing Chen: "???"
Li Ke: "???"
Hu Xiaoniu: "???"
Old sir, even if you guessed everything correctly, isn't it going too far for you, the former head of the Li family, to impersonate an envoy of the Qing family's shadow here?
To be fair, the old man has probably seen the biggest storms in the Federation in his life, so his mental fortitude is truly exceptional. He can lie without batting an eye, without even blushing.
Guo Huzhan hesitated for a moment. "The Qing family has never sent anyone to supervise the transport of supplies before, why did they send someone this time?"
The old man chuckled and said, "I've been following this route for seven years, but you just didn't discover it before."
Upon hearing the number seven years, Guo Huzhan immediately believed it.
The fact that the Qing clan's shadow began transporting medicine to the wilderness did indeed begin seven years ago.
At this moment, the old man suddenly became mysterious to him. Guo Huzhan was a B-Class master, or at least a C-Class in the past, but he had never seen the old man before when he traveled this route.
That means the opponent's strength is far superior to ours.
Guo Huzhan was still a little puzzled. "Why did you hide it before, but not this time?"
The old man calmly said, "During this turmoil in the Federation, Mr. Shadow and Spade have something to discuss."
"Understood," Guo Huzhan nodded. "Then you should rest well, and we'll talk more when we get there."
The old man instructed, "Remember to keep it a secret; those Time Walker don't know my identity."
Guo Huzhan had always been skeptical, but after the old man revealed the Freemasons' identity as Time Walker, Guo Huzhan became more convinced.
The method of transporting medicine this time was different from the past. City No. 18 has become a city of spies, and the Immigration and Customs Administration has been keeping an eye on it.
People have always wanted to know who is constantly providing medicine and supplies to the Wilderness People.
Therefore, when Nangong Yuanyu others came out, they didn't bring much medicine in the car, as this was the only way they could pass the inspection.
However, what's particularly ingenious this time is that the Shadow brought the Freemasons to the wilderness, and the Freemasons themselves are medicine.
They don't need to take medicine out of the country; they just need to put antibiotics in a sealed bag every seven days, put it in their mouths, and then bring it back from the Outer World.
These nearly one hundred people form a mobile medicine supply station.
Because each person carries a limited amount of medicine, the Freemasons wanted to bring as many students as possible out before this journey.
Antibiotics are not much different in the Outer World and the Inner World; as long as they work, that's fine.
The population in the wilderness is already small, Time Walker are even fewer, so they can't use this method.
After Guo Huzhan left, Qing Chen looked helplessly at the old man. "You're really good at stirring things up. Now that Guo Huzhan is back in the car, he'll definitely signal to the other members of Black Spade that the representative of the Qing Clan's Shadow wants to negotiate with Black Spade. What are you going to do then? What are you going to negotiate about?"
The old man smiled and said, "There are so many things to talk about. For example, can you reveal the Li family's plan to clear the wilderness next year? Or can you reveal the Chen family's plan to clear the wilderness next year? Don't worry, these are all trivial matters for an old man like me."
Qing Chen calmly replied, "As long as you're happy..."
This old man, just for fun, planned to sell the Federation Group Army's plan to clear the wilderness.
The old man chuckled and said, "Don't you think this is quite interesting? That mysterious figure probably never imagined that his plan would take such a turn!"
There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
