Chapter 177 168. Seeing the Transfer Student Again (10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2

Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment, ”Our boss isnʼt in Los Angeles City, you might as well talk to me!”

...

...

At that very moment, a plane had just arrived at Beijing Daxing Airport.

The airport, shrouded in orange-yellow light during the night, appeared very warm.

Passengers disembarked from the plane one after another, all curious about a black full-sized SUV not far away.

Next to the SUV, two men in black suits stood guard.

It looked like a scene straight out of a movie where a VIP is picked up from the airport, solemn and mysterious.

Everyoneʼs gaze turned towards the SUV, and they couldnʼt help but be curious about whom the others were waiting for.

However, until the passengers left on the shuttle bus, that black SUV didnʼt meet the person it was waiting for.

A few minutes later, Zheng Yuandong, dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit, slowly walked out of the plane.

He calmly approached the black SUV, and He Jinqiu jumped out of the car and cheerfully said, ”Old squad leader gracing us with your presence, and riding a civilian airline at that, even more surprising is, I checked, and you were sitting in economy class! Has Kunlun fallen on such hard times?”

Zheng Yuandong calmly looked at He Jinqiu, ”Good steel should be used where it counts. Kunlun does not indulge in needless extravagance. Rather than waste money, weʼd prefer to buy our members extra commercial insurance to give them peace of mind.”

”The old squad leader still shows as much compassion for his subordinates as ever,” He Jinqiu, dressed in a fine suit, marveled, ”But Iʼm curious, what sort of matter could have brought you to Jingcheng in the dead of night?”

”Itʼs an important matter,” Zheng Yuandong said, ”Our people have detected new moves by the consortium. Many Time Travelers we had monitored are behaving abnormally, and they canʼt be found in the Inner World. At the moment, they have been detained by the consortium.”

”Two of my Kyushu members have also been exposed, and are currently detained by Qingʼs Family at an unknown location,” He Jinqiu gradually lost his smile, his expression grew solemn as he said, ”But since the old squad leader has flown to Jingcheng at midnight, youʼd better share some information I donʼt know.”

Zheng Yuandong calmly stated, ”Recently, my people were isolated and detained by the Li Family, and he suspects hundreds of others were detained alongside him. I suspect the Li Family will soon make a big move. Not just the Li Family—Qingʼs Family and Chen Clan are surely plotting the same.”

One must admit, the consortiumʼs plan was very meticulous. They didnʼt place Time Travelers together to prevent them from coordinating and conspiring once they returned to the Outer World.

He Jinqiu responded, ”Old squad leader, I think the same way, and this move must be related to our Outer World. The enormous entities of the Inner World are threatened and wonʼt sit idly by.” Stay connected through empire

Indeed, compared to lone wolves like Qing Chen, large organizations also have their advantages.

However, the consortium currently wouldnʼt inform those controlled Time Travelers of the purging plan.

Only relatively central figures such as Li Tongyun and Li Yinuo were aware of it.

Therefore, Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu didnʼt know exactly what the consortium wanted to do; they could only guess!

At that moment, Zheng Yuandong suddenly said, ”My people could be exposed as members of the Outer World organization at any time. You should be well aware that the consortium wouldnʼt want us to know their operational plans, as that would allow us to organize and strike back strategically. Therefore, before implementing their real plan, they will definitely try to purge their ranks.

My people are also prepared to die.”

He Jinqiu thought for a moment then said, ”Old squad leader, if youʼre thinking about having me help rescue them, I can refuse you right now. The price is too high. Both Kunlun and Kyushu currently do not have the capacity to contend with the Inner World; we must bide our time and develop, waiting for the right moment.”

”I hadnʼt thought of rescuing them,” Zheng Yuandong said solemnly. Even though he was deeply in pain and even foresaw the future of his subordinates, he still couldnʼt act on it in the Inner World.

”So, old squad leader, what do you want to do?” He Jinqiu said calmly as he pulled the ʼcorrectʼ Gold Coin, Taboo item, ACE-099, from his breast pocket.

The gold coin flipped continuously on the back of his hand, moving nimbly as if it were a dancing sprite.

In the airportʼs night, a young man dressed in fine clothes in the SUV, with a mysterious gold coin, gave He Jinqiu a unique presence.

Zheng Yuandong looked at the gold coin and said, ”Jinqiu, you never trust anyone, which is why you rely on the gold coin to discern truth from lies, right?”

He Jinqiu smiled, ”Mr. Zheng, who in this world is truly trustworthy?”

Zheng Yuandong said, ”Without comrades who trust and support each other, how can we reach further goals?”

He Jinqiu was noncommittal, ”First tell me what you want me to do, Mr. Zheng, and remember to speak the truth.”

Zheng Yuandong expressionless, said, ”When the Inner World strikes back, the most important thing isnʼt our lives but the lives of all Time Travelers. I havenʼt planned to rescue my subordinates, not even myself as my life could be lost at any moment. But there is one thing that must not fall into the hands of the consortium—the registry database.

This is the most dangerous thing; if they acquire it, every Time Traveler will be verified anew.”

Most critically, the registry database is networked nationwide; just about any police departmentʼs internal computer could access the database entrance, which is too easily breached!
