Chapitre 16

Jiang Xue asked, "You knew she was a Time Traveler all along, didn't you? Otherwise, how did she get into the group? And you even helped her keep it from me!"

Qing Chen: "Aba aba aba..."

Jiang Xue didn't make things difficult for Qing Chen, and turned to look at Li Tongyun: "You're really something, you tricked me into calling you your sister for months!"

Li Tongyun was now in despair. The more fun they had back then, the more utterly ruined they were now...

Maki Jinguji was stunned by what she saw. How could such a gentle aunt suddenly turn into this?

She looked at Yangyang helplessly: "What are they saying?"

Yangyang said with a smile, "Your sister Li Tongyun is doomed."

Lu Yuan was outside the door. Hearing the roaring sounds from inside, he hesitated for a while before saying to Qing Chen, "How about I come back another day?"

"No need, no need," Qing Chen closed the door and pulled Lu Yuan outside. "If you leave now, I'll suffer too... No, I want to know more about this school. What's going on here? Where was it built? I see the enrollment date is next week, which is when we return. I've never heard of Kunlun building a school before."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need to keep it a secret. The school isn't located in a busy area, but in an extremely secluded place, like a paradise."

Qing Chen nodded: "Why would Kunlun suddenly do this?"

Lu Yuan glanced at him: "Kunlun didn't do it before because they hadn't finished investigating the situation in China. Now we and Kyushu have done a pretty good job of investigating, and we haven't missed any time travelers, so we have the conditions to build this school."

"What is the significance of building this school?" Qingchen asked curiously.

“Timewalkers like you are certainly good, but some people become less obedient after gaining power,” Lu Yuan sighed. “Ever since timewalkers appeared, crime rates have increased significantly in various places. Just yesterday, there was a particularly cruel underage individual… well, you know what I mean. After returning to the surface world, they felt that going to school was useless, and they caused trouble every day, even injuring their own parents.”

Lu Yuan: "Moreover, some children have no ability to protect themselves after they get there. They are tricked into selling their organs for money very early on. Sigh... Kunlun also wants to teach them some survival skills in the inner world, or to form an organization there to help the time travelers, so that they are not so easily harmed."

Qingchen understood that when children's worldviews are not yet formed, they are easily led astray when they go to the free and chaotic inner world.

Kunlun established this school not primarily for constraint, but for protection.

"Do you also have my acceptance letter?" Qingchen asked.

“Well,” Lu Yuan said, “This school covers all grades from elementary school to university, up to the time before entering society. Boss Zheng said it’s up to you whether you go or not, but it’s best if everyone else goes during the day.”

"Why?" Qingchen asked.

Lu Yuan calmly said, "Bai Zhou has become a thorn in the side of many people. Your members who have not yet grown up will be much safer in the Time Walker Academy. Jiang Xue can also go there to teach painting. That's one reason."

Lu Yuan: "Boss Zheng asked me to pass on a message to you: if you want to find companions, instead of developing in the Inner World, you might as well look for them in that school. That's the second point."

Qing Chen smiled and said, "Please tell Boss Zheng that I will consider it, but my current identity is sensitive, so I will go anonymously."

"Understood," Lu Yuan said, turning and leaving.

At this moment, Qingchen suddenly stopped him and said, "By the way, I have some information to tell Boss Zheng. I saw foreigners in City 22... white people. I suspect that the Kamishiro Group may have begun to prepare to take over the West Coast forces and provide them with forward bases."

Lu Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "Thank you, this matter is very important. We had some clues before that the Divine Era was building a forward base on an isolated island overseas, but it hadn't been confirmed yet. Now it seems to be true!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Qingchen watched him leave and was about to go back inside when he heard Xiaotongyun shout, "Ahhhhh, Brother Qingchen, save me!"

Qing Chen stood at the door for a while, pondering for a long time, and then called Hu Xiaoniu: "Have you eaten?"

Hu Xiaoniu hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone: "Boss, it's only 3 pm, not lunchtime yet... Is there something you need?"

Qing Chen said, "Xiao Niu, I need you to activate the safe house project. Starting today, the Hu Group will help us build safe houses around the world."

Hu Xiaoniu: "Understood."

Qingchen: "Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

Hu Xiaoniu thought for a moment: "It went fairly smoothly, but I learn a bit slowly, and I get injured during training, which affects my progress."

"Yes, take care, and be careful."

Just then, Jiang Xue's voice came from inside the house: "Are you still going to call me 'sister' or not?"

Then came Li Tongyun's crying...

Hu Xiaoniu was taken aback: "Boss, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Xiaotongyun just had a mishap..."

At night, Xiaotongyun nestled in her bed, sobbing uncontrollably, heartbroken.

Most importantly, she could foresee that Jiang Xue would also put her under control in the inner world, and she wouldn't be as free as she was now.

Of course, she is only 11 years old this year, which is an age in which she needs to be disciplined by her family.

Xiao Tongyun was desperate and thought about running away from home... No, she wasn't strong enough yet. She had to wait until she reached Rank B.

The little girl was as precocious as Qingchen, so she knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Even if she wanted to run away from home, she had to be fully prepared.

Lost in thought, she suddenly felt Maki snuggle into her blankets and into her arms, as if trying to comfort her in this way.

For some reason, Li Tongyun suddenly felt less sad.

...

...

In a villa in Zhengzhou, all the windows were completely covered by black velvet curtains.

Qingyuan sat on the sofa with an open laptop in his lap.

“Qing Chen, Bai Zhou, Joker, skilled in disguise…” Qing Yuan muttered to himself.

He reviewed the beginning of the incident in Zhengcheng, and then reviewed all the information related to Qingchen.

Qingyuan suddenly laughed: "If that's the case, then the cause and effect make sense. The person who was looking for me back then was indeed you. And the one who destroyed my Mechanical God Cult was also you."

However, at that moment, the doorbell of the villa rang.

Qingyuan frowned and opened his phone to check the surveillance footage outside.

The villa is surrounded by surveillance cameras; only in this way can he feel a sense of security.

On the phone screen, Lu Yuan left a document at the door and turned to leave.

Qingyuan opened the door, and there, in the document, was none other than his university admission letter!

He is 20 years old this year, which is the age for a sophomore in college.

Chapter 590, Ex-Wife

As Kunlun School's admission notices were issued one after another, news about Time Walker School immediately became a trending topic.

However, no one knew where a school large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, encompassing primary school to university, was located.

As usual, Luo Wanya rode his bicycle to Los Angeles Institute of Technology, first returning the "Modern Chinese History" and "Biographies of Great Men" that he had borrowed before.

He borrowed a new copy of "Wang Yangming's Philosophy of Mind," not because he had any interest in Wang Yangming, but simply because he wanted to understand the extraordinary life of this one of only two sages in Chinese history, and the principles he upheld.

There are only two sages in Chinese history: Confucius and Wang Yangming. Luo Wanya felt that he would hardly understand Confucius in his lifetime, so he would try to understand the other one.

After borrowing the books, Luo Wanyi went to the School of Humanities to attend a law class.

Finally, I went to take an international relations class.

The teacher of the International Relations class is still that intellectual and charming female teacher, and she is now used to Luo Wanyi's visits.

Luo Wanyi was wearing glasses, which made him look quite different from his usual self, but he was still recognized.

During break, a male classmate walked up to him and cautiously asked, "Hello, are you a member of Bai Zhou? I think I've seen you on the news. Online, everyone says you're from Bai Zhou."

Luo Wanya smiled and said, "Yes, that's me."

The male student was somewhat taken aback. How could he admit it so easily?

Luo Wanya said, "Being a member of Daylight is not a shameful thing, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

After all, photos of all the members of Daylight Entertainment have already been exposed, so hiding them would only make us seem petty.

At this moment, the students in the classroom gradually became surprised. Recently, the matter of Daylight has been trending on social media every day, especially since the Mysterious Business Department had just recently issued a bounty for the entire Daylight.

The most popular one is still Qingchen himself.

His photo has been published by unscrupulous media. When people see the photo, they can't connect the handsome young man in the photo with the person who went on a killing spree in Osaka.

At first, no one believed it was Qing Chen himself, but soon an ID called 'Millionaire' started exclusively revealing information online, such as details of Qing Chen's life in the inner world, and details of the A02 battle. These were all things that the intelligence agencies in the inner world knew, but the outer world was not yet clear about.

Among the photos released was one of Qing Chen walking on the streets of City 10.

He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie.

Behind Qing Chen were the intelligence officers from the First Intelligence Division, who revered him like a god.

He is like a modern-day godfather.

Monopoly released another photo of Qing Chen alone, wearing a white tracksuit, standing aloof and independent in the dazzling city...

It must be said that this tycoon's use of city surveillance cameras is quite sophisticated, even more so than that of paparazzi.

The clean-cut young man in the photo looks completely different from the fierce image in the rumors, and this huge contrast immediately won him fans.

After the Monopoly reporter's revelation, her popularity skyrocketed, and she started accepting advertisements yesterday and is also planning to do live-streaming e-commerce.

This guy made a fortune off Qingchen.

The female teacher stood on the podium, organizing her lesson plan while glancing at Luo Wanya with great interest from time to time.

She seemed somewhat curious as to why such a person would come to listen to her lecture.

A female classmate came over and whispered to Luo Wanya, "Excuse me, could you please help us get Qingchen to sign his autograph?"

Luo Wanya smiled and shook his head: "That's my boss. I can't agree to these things on his behalf. I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he stood up, took his notes, walked to the female teacher's side, and asked some questions that he hadn't understood in class.

The female teacher looked at Luo Wanyi with great interest: "Mr. Luo, I'm very curious, why are you suddenly so interested in teaching at your age? As far as I know, you're quite a well-known figure in the school now. You not only attend my classes, but you also audit law, modern Chinese history, and macroeconomics. Can you tell me why?"

Luo Wanyi pondered for a few seconds before replying, "Many things I'm doing now are leaving me feeling overwhelmed. As the organization develops, I know exactly where the problems are, but I don't know how to solve them. So I want to recharge myself and find answers from others."

“As far as I know, the problems of the Daylight Organization don’t seem to require your attention,” the female teacher said, somewhat puzzled.

Luo Wanya smiled and said, "I wasn't talking about daytime."

The parent-teacher association has gone through a period of rapid, unregulated growth. Now it needs to work in accordance with Qingchen's will to become a stronger and more cohesive organization, which will bring many challenges.

For example, establishing organizational culture, communicating organizational principles, improving personnel promotion processes, and setting common goals and visions.
