Among them, Liu Dezhu's expression was the most unpleasant.
He looked up and said, "I've been gossiping about the boss to him the whole time. Am I doomed?!"
Nan Gengchen: "Run as far away as you can before the boss comes back."
Chapter 588, Are you also a Time Traveler?
Los Angeles.
Early in the morning, Luo Wanya set off on his bicycle.
Directly opposite the main gate of the Guobao Garden villa area is Los Angeles University of Technology.
He rode his bicycle and entered the campus with the students. Luo Wanyi glanced at the campus layout in his hand, then went to the library to borrow two books: one on modern Chinese history and the other on biographies of great figures.
Then he used his auditor's pass to audit two classes at the School of Humanities.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Luo Wanyi's fierce aura was concealed, and he even possessed a touch of the demeanor of a refined businessman.
Among the young students in the room, who would have thought that this older student had just led a group to wipe out a large gang in the underworld a few days ago, and had also executed the most heinous ringleaders of eight Dragon Pattern gangs?
Luo Wanyi found it difficult to listen to the lectures, so he brought a recorder, planning to listen to them again when he got home that night.
It's a miracle in itself that a veteran of the martial arts world, nearing fifty, wants to pick up the habit of reading again.
Once a person is over thirty, it becomes very difficult for them to be changed by external forces unless they develop new internal motivation.
The course he's currently auditing is "International Relations." The female professor is thirty-five years old, which is relatively young for a university professor. She's said to be a newly recruited talent from Los Angeles Institute of Technology, and the school even gave her a substantial settling-in allowance, a car, and a 140-square-meter apartment.
The female teacher came from Haicheng. She was intellectual and fashionable, and many students had a crush on her.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she noticed Luo Wanya. She smiled and asked from the podium, "This student, I haven't seen you before."
Luo Wanya stood up and said politely, "Excuse me, teacher, I just got my auditing pass and wanted to come and learn. You don't need to worry about me."
The students looked at him curiously, but no one laughed at him. After all, every piece of clothing Luo Wanyi wore looked expensive, which was probably the whim of some local bigwig in Los Angeles.
Some students even speculated that the boss might be using various methods to woo the female teacher.
The female teacher nodded and said with a smile, "Welcome here, welcome to everyone who thirsts for knowledge. Okay, let's begin."
After class, Luo Wanyi received a text message and hurriedly left. He rode his bicycle to the gate.
At the entrance, members of the parents' association had already arrived in a Maybach to pick him up.
In order to save time, Luo Wanyi immediately switched to a Maybach parked outside the school and drove quickly into the Guobao Garden villa area.
He was in such a hurry that it didn't seem like someone his age should be acting like that.
As soon as Luo Wanya arrived at the entrance of the villa, he saw Jiang Xue, Liu Dezhu, and Nan Gengchen already waiting at the door. He asked, "Is the boss coming back soon?"
Liu Dezhu nodded blankly.
At this moment, Li Tongyun led Jinguji Maki out of the house.
Both little girls were like porcelain dolls, a delight to behold.
Jinguji Maki also changed her clothes, all of which were carefully selected by Jiang Xue.
Maki came into the yard, bowed to Luo Wanya, and said in broken Chinese, "Good afternoon, Uncle Wanya."
Luo Wanya quickly waved his hand: "We don't need to be so polite."
He knew that this young girl was a genuine third-generation knight, and a rare one at that.
As she spoke, Xiao Zhenqi turned to Liu Dezhu and said, "Hello, Big Fool Brother."
Liu Dezhu: "?"
Little Maki then turned to Nan Gengchen: "Hello, Second Silly Brother."
Nan Gengchen raised an eyebrow: "Li Tongyun! You said you taught her Chinese, is this all you taught her?"
Maki seemed to sense that something was wrong, and stood there helplessly, not knowing what had happened.
Li Tongyun said with a smile, "Look how sensible our Japanese are! They greeted you all one by one, and they learn so quickly. The New Year is just a few days away, so you all better prepare red envelopes for us."
Jiang Xue grabbed her ear: "I told you to teach Xiao Zhenqi Chinese, so you'd better teach her properly, do you hear me?"
Jinguji Maki quickly bowed to Jiang Xue and said, "Good afternoon, housekeeper."
"Li Tongyun!" Jiang Xue shouted angrily, "Are you trying to rebel? I noticed yesterday that you weren't doing your winter break homework properly, and now you're teaching her Chinese haphazardly?!"
Li Tongyun's face changed: "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
As they spoke, two small black dots appeared on the horizon. Everyone became excited, and even Jiang Xue involuntarily released her grip on Xiao Tongyun's ear.
Yangyang and Qingchen landed on the ground. Jinguji Maki was the most excited and immediately rushed into Qingchen's arms: "Master, I've finally seen you again!"
Li Tongyun pouted to the side.
With the arrival of someone even more adept at flattery, her position in the household is in jeopardy.
However, she didn't say anything. This time, Li Tongyun spent a lot of money to help Jinguji Maki find a 'Longevity Heaven' fruit from the Forbidden Land No. 007 on the black market. It is said that every time you eat one of these fruits, your strength will increase.
If a child eats nine of these, he/she will be stronger than an adult.
When Yangyang brought Maki to Luocheng, Qingchen called Li Tongyun and asked her to be Maki's protector.
He didn't say exactly what the protectors were supposed to do, so Li Tongyun could only guess.
Although she wasn't too happy to see Maki Jinguji acting so cute.
But at one point, Li Tongyun felt a sense of accomplishment watching little Zhenji eat the treasure she had worked so hard to find.
Of course, all of this had to be kept from Jiang Xue.
At this moment, Liu Dezhu, standing to the side, said tremblingly, "Boss..."
Qing Chen raised an eyebrow: "Let's go inside and talk."
He planned to strike first; if he was thick-skinned enough, others would be the ones embarrassed.
Yangyang chuckled and said, "I remember a boss saying in the group that Qingchen is very trustworthy."
Qing Chen's imposing manner immediately weakened: "...Ahem, let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk."
The group entered the house and gathered around the gray dining table in the dining room, all remaining silent.
It was like a huge, awkward situation, and nobody knew what to say.
Liu Dezhu cautiously said, "Boss, all that gossip I was talking about back then... was just because I had nothing better to do."
Qing Chen: "Hmm..."
Liu Dezhu continued, "But we should be even now, right? You tricked me into going to No. 4 Xingshu Road, and you tricked me into running laps with you early in the morning, and you tricked me into doing all that stuff..."
“That’s about enough,” Qing Chen sighed. “Back then, we weren’t familiar with each other yet, so it was normal for me to wear a disguise to protect myself.”
Li Tongyun: "You're wearing way too much..."
However, at this moment, Jiang Xue suddenly paused, and looked at Li Tongyun suspiciously: "Wait, you're not in our group, right? You're not a Time Traveler either, so how would you know what we're talking about?"
"Oh!" Li Tongyun said, "I... I was just joking along with what you guys were saying, right, Brother Qingchen?"
Qing Chen smiled noncommittally. Before he could speak, Nan Gengchen said from the side, "Brother Chen kept it a secret from me for so long. I kept telling him that I would treat him to a nice meal when I became successful. I thought no one knew about my Time Traveler identity... He just stood there silently watching me show off... Later, I was taken care of by Yi Nuo, and I thought I had finally made it big. But then I found out that Brother Chen was much more capable than me, quietly making a fortune all along. This kind of person is so cunning and ruthless, he needs to be thoroughly criticized!"
Qing Chen's expression changed. He really had no way to deal with a player like Nan Gengchen, who could inflict eight hundred damages on the enemy while losing a thousand of his own.
He thought he had something on the other party and that the other party wouldn't dare to say anything, but Nan Gengchen would reveal it himself!
While everyone was talking, Yangyang was translating in Japanese for Jinguji Maki.
Little Maki snuggled up next to Yangyang, feeling how warm and cozy this place was. So many people could gather together and chat. Although she couldn't understand what everyone was saying and had to rely on Yangyang to translate, just the fact that everyone was together was enough to warm her heart.
Just then, a spy knocked on the door, peering in to catch a glimpse of Qing Chen's returning splendor, only to be scolded by Luo Wanya: "What are you doing, sneaking around like that?!"
The informant said, "Old Luo, the people from Kunlun have suddenly arrived, and they're carrying quite a lot of things."
“Let them in,” Qingchen said.
The person who came was Lu Yuan: "Welcome home, it's good that you're back."
Qing Chen asked curiously, "Is there something you need?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's like this. Our survey and statistics at Kunlun show that 60% of the Time Travelers are students, and more than half of them are no longer attending school properly. Moreover, they are using things and abilities they obtained from the Inner World to cause a very bad influence on society. You're a top student, so you understand that knowledge may not necessarily change one's destiny, but it's difficult for someone who doesn't go to school to achieve anything, even if they become a Time Traveler. We don't want our students to stray too far from the right path, so we're here to give everyone admission notices. Um... don't refuse, all students are treated equally at Kunlun."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan read out the names: "Liu Dezhu, Nan Gengchen, Qing Chen, Chen Yangyang, Li Tongyun..."
"Ahhhhh!" Li Tongyun turned and ran.
Jiang Xue swiftly grabbed her by the collar: "You're a time traveler too?!"
Chapter 589, A Variable Is Approaching
"Tell me, when did you become a Time Traveler?" Jiang Xue roared.
Li Tongyun: "Aba aba aba..."
"Stop pretending to be stupid!" Jiang Xue laid Xiao Tongyun across her lap and started spanking her.
This gentle woman in the villa was always like an older sister to everyone, taking care of everyone.
This gentle older sister was surprisingly strict when facing Li Tongyun.
On ordinary days, Nan Gengchen and Liu Dezhu would often hear Jiang Xue's angry roars as she tutored Li Tongyun with her homework upstairs. At that time, Jiang Xue was like a lioness.
Especially now that Jiang Xue is in charge of Bai Zhou's finances, she is also responsible for monitoring the flow of funds in the inner world and gathering intelligence.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the daytime steward.
Who would want to offend the head butler for no reason...?
Li Tongyun never expected that she would be the one to die after secretly waiting for Qing Chen to die.
The Kunlun Mountains are a long way off, could this be reinforcements that Qing Chen has invited to divert attention?!
At this moment, after beating up Li Tongyun, Jiang Xue started going through Li Tongyun's phone again, her voice rising even higher: "You're the little rich girl? Qing Chen!!"
"Huh?" Qingchen's eyes drifted to the side.
