Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Although she was unwilling to think more about it, the moment she saw Zhang Qiang, she already had the answer.

Father was deceived by Zhang Qiang’s honest appearance.

No wonder every investigation inexplicably lost its lead halfway through, it turned out to be hidden in plain sight!

She must reveal Zhang Qiang’s true identity!

As for why her wise and powerful father would be deceived by a little conductor, Su Han chose to ignore it.

If father knew Zhang Qiang was the leader of the Tongzhou Association, how could he allow him to assist in investigating the Tongzhou Association?

That would be a thief crying ”stop the thief,” completely unnecessary.

Zhang Qiang and others entered City Hall, with high-level conductors and Dragon Gate City Hall personnel taking over. The others had a moment of freedom to move around. As long as they didn’t leave City Hall, the high-level conductors would turn a blind eye, since it’s rare to come down here. You have to let people take a break, or else you’d offend everyone.

Zhang Qiang joined the other five. The uncle-nephew pair and the woman were also on this mission’s list.

However, after coming down, the middle-aged man vaguely became the leader of the six.

Before Zhang Qiang could speak, the middle-aged man said, ”That person contacted me. While they’re still busy upstairs, let’s go now.”

Zhang Qiang said nothing, carrying his things and following behind, indifferent to the young men’s contemptuous glances.

Behind them, there was a little tail that kept following.

Soon, they met the contact person in a room at the edge of City Hall. There were two extinguished cigarette butts on the windowsill; clearly the person had been waiting for a while. Seeing Zhang Qiang’s group of six, he said hurriedly, ”This transaction is very important, and the higher-ups want to personally inspect it. Leave two people here to watch, and the rest follow me with the goods.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with some doubt. Such a small amount of items that the opposite side’s superior needed to inspect?

The young man, initially a bit nervous, became more arrogant and whispered, ”It’s a small matter on the train, but for them, those are treasures beyond price, so they have to be cautious.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man also relaxed.

Couldn’t help but make other plans, since these things are so rare, raising the price a bit later wouldn’t be a problem, right?

The woman’s face turned somewhat pale from nervousness, only Zhang Qiang’s calm demeanor prevented her from slipping up.

The contact led the group upstairs, pushing open a heavy door, ”All the leaders are waiting inside, you can go in.”

’All?’

Zhang Qiang froze hearing this choice of words.

His steps slowed for a moment.

The middle-aged man walked in first, faintly assuming himself as the leader of this transaction.

The young man followed closely.

Once inside, there was no sound, as if there was a giant man-eating beast in the room.

The woman nervously looked at Zhang Qiang, who gave her an encouraging look, then she walked inside and again fell silent.

Zhang Qiang smiled and nodded at the man holding the door handle beside him, and then naturally entered the room.

The man hesitated for a moment and then closed the door.

He did not see the space ahead distort momentarily.

Su Han’s heart almost jumped into her throat, only once she was inside did she confirm her ”invisibility cloak” was working.

The invisibility cloak was just a byproduct researched in the lab that Wan Xing took to play with. With various strange potions poured over it, it specifically suppressed perception, so even a Tier One Evolver wouldn’t notice unless they were Perception Type as she passed by.

Su Han was just relaxing when she saw the scene before her, which made her gasp choke halfway.

Before her was a medium-sized conference room. The two most powerful people in the city, Ge Mian and Ruble, could only stand at the edge, while in the center sat an elegant middle-aged man resembling Huayang by four to five points. A young man sat in the middle, surrounded by others, with his legs crossed, a smile on his lips, his shoe tip pointing one by one in her direction.

The three who came in earlier were already kneeling on the ground, only Zhang Qiang stood respectfully beside the young man.

This scene conveyed information too terrifying, causing Su Han’s brain to stall in place.

Various thoughts raced by but none held up.

Only one was closest to the truth, which she found even harder to accept.

Was there truly someone investigating their own organization?

”What are you wearing?”

A clear voice transmitted over, carrying some leisurely curiosity.

Su Han belatedly lifted her hood, revealing a gentle face, hesitantly saying, ”Father...”

With this word, the previously disinterested Hua Junyan and others were drawn instantly, turning their heads sharply to look back and forth between Su Han and Su Huan.

’Teenage girl?’

’About right, about right...’

Hua Junyan mused, ’his own eldest daughter was also about—’

He then sensed something was off, knowing Su Huan was only twenty-four this year. Su Han looked youthful, even if she were ten, could Su Huan have had a child at fourteen?

From a prestigious family, even he wouldn’t dare do such things before eighteen. How did he manage it?

The crowd’s curiosity was similar, though they all had their own answers.

Hua Junyan was the quickest to react, pretending to be surprised, ”Didn’t expect the conductor to have such a stunning daughter, too sudden, I didn’t prepare anything.”

Saying that, he pulled out a small piece of jade from his pocket, pressing it firmly into the bewildered Su Han’s hand.

The others caught on, cursing quietly while racking their brains to find good items within their reach, speaking praise while placing them in Su Han’s hands.

The girl still hadn’t figured out the situation, holding a bunch of small items, rings, jade, even gourds, each subtly emitting energy waves, obviously not cheap.

Su Han looked for help at the conductor, who remained calmly, ”Since they gave them to you, just keep them. But why did you come here?”

Su Han then narrated her discovery and deductions, and everyone in the room listened attentively.

The little girl was clear-headed, her voice crisp, not hard to endure.

”...And I used an invisibility cloak to follow Zhang Qiang here.”

The girl was extraordinarily intelligent. Speaking halfway, she realized she was probably being teased by her father; what Tongzhou Association, what hidden organization on the train, was obviously his leisure-time creation.

Every move was under his watchful eye.

Those investigations she conducted previously were merely a child’s game to the conductor.

Yet she quickly adjusted her mood, fourteen is already grown enough now.

She had no standing to cause a fuss in front of Su Huan.

Even if Su Huan tolerated it, she wouldn’t throw a tantrum. It’s hard to get an opportunity to please her father, she wouldn’t squander it.

”I didn’t expect to disrupt father’s and uncles’ affairs; I’ll head out now...”

The girl’s pitiful aura not only didn’t fade over a year but grew more captivating.

Standing behind the conductor, Zhang Qiang felt emotionally touched by the young lady’s adept mastery of timing.

Among all the old foxes here, this meant little, but what she said or behaved didn’t matter as long as her surname was Su.

Even if she acted wildly, the old foxes would praise her unrestrained nature.

But Su Han’s calm demeanor and measured words were bonus points.

”Since you’ve come, why leave?”

Su Huan said calmly.

Su Han obediently moved closer to Liu Qiang, retreating half a step.

Su Huan glanced at the invisibility cloak she was wearing. Compared to those three kneeling, he was more interested in this cloak.

Originally, in the Flood Zone, Iron Old Man’s second son Qi Zhendong could manipulate light to achieve invisibility.

He envied it back then, but he couldn’t do it given his control over light energy at the time.

Now, however, it’s quite easy.

Controlling light is difficult, but reversing it to let light avoid him is quite simple.
