Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 478 317, Family Members_3

Xiao Ying looked at Qing Chen with admiration in his eyes that was complicated and impossible to clearly define.

Qing Chen thought to himself that surely Xiao Ying must have heard some strange rumors to have such a look in his eyes. He must be even more eager to join the daytime operation now…

Li Changqing turned around and said, ”There might be an internal Clan Leader meeting tomorrow morning, and all Li Family members who are qualified to enter the ancestral hall must attend. Letʼs sit together then.”

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, ”An internal meeting of the Clan high-level leadership, and theyʼre going to let me attend?”

”Of course,” Li Changqing said with a smile, ”Your status and position are quite high now. Okay, letʼs go.”

The woman finished speaking and left, her departure brisk and decisive.

However, Qing Chen suddenly thought of a problem.

Li Changqing actually didnʼt care where she went; she just wanted to briefly escape her ʼLi Familyʼ identity and enjoy some time without anyone constantly watching her.

So, he wondered if she would mind helping rescue Luo Wanya.

Previously, Qing Chen was a bit worried that there might be experts among those holding Luo Wanya in confinement, and he might not be able to deal with it alone.

Now, with Li Changqing, such a skilled fighter, things should be fine, right…?

The Autumn Leaf Courtyard once again became quiet, but a fleeting fragrance lingered in the yard, seemingly from the perfume Li Changqing was wearing.

…

…

In room 102, Jiang Yichen, with dark circles under his eyes, was stealthily peering out through the peephole.

He had been waiting from midnight until three in the morning and had not seen the Assassins come out again.

Together with the four people who had entered earlier, the sixteen Assassins that went into the house had disappeared without a trace, as if swallowed by some terrifying creature.

Jiang Yichen didnʼt know that there was a secret passage in the house, nor did he know who exactly was inside the house; he just felt that the location of his new home was exceptionally terrifying.

What kind of feeling was that? It was like finally buying a house, only to be moved in for a couple of days and then being told by someone that it was a haunted house where the previous three owners had all hanged themselves.

Now, Jiang Yichen felt as if he was living in a haunted house, and he was terribly frightened.

At this very moment, Luo Wanya was lying quietly on the floor of a small room; beside him, six other Time Travelers were trapped there as well.

He wasnʼt asleep.

And he couldnʼt sleep.

Luo Wanya roughly calculated the time, and since he became a Time Traveler, he had been confined for over a month.

In this month, all these Time Travelers did was eat and sleep, and every day, they were brainwashed by someone specially arranged to extract their real information about the Outer World.

All the windows in the cabin had been nailed shut, preventing any view of the outside.

The damp air inside the cabin made everyone especially irritable.

Before this crossing, Luo Wanya was full of confidence, after all, the daytime operation had the accomplishments of rescuing Zhang Chengze, so they seemed somewhat more impressive than the previous Time Travelers.

Moreover, they had also accepted the two cars he had sent over.

But now, three days had passed, and Luo Wanya had not even seen a shadow of the daytime personnel.

Was it the same as with the other Time Travelers, who couldnʼt find his place of confinement?

Or that they didnʼt dare to rescue him because they lacked the fighting power?

This made him worry and he tossed and turned.

”Lao Luo, can you stop turning over?” a Time Traveler complained, ”With your size, every time you turn over itʼs like an earthquake. Can the rest of us get any sleep?”

Luo Wanya didnʼt respond, nor had he ever told these people about his request for rescue.

Having been in the underworld for so many years, the most important lesson he learned was not to trust anyone easily. Who knew if any of these Time Travelers had already volunteered to betray?

He hadnʼt been brainwashed, but some people had been.

Right then, two men in Black Combat Uniforms walked in from outside. One of them had a smile on his face as he said, ”Family members, how are you resting today? Is there anything that needs to be improved with the meals?”

The other one also smiled and said, ”Before, everyone has been asking when they can get their freedom back. Our answer has always been soon. Some family members might be wondering why we insist on keeping everyone here. We have our difficulties too. The current 18th city is too dangerous. The Li and Qing families are sweeping the city for Time Travelers. It would be very dangerous for you to go out.”

Luo Wanya hurriedly turned over, pretending to be devoted as he asked, ”Chief, I can understand your difficulties, completely understand.”

The custodian was very satisfied; Luo Wanya had been their most successful brainwashing case over this period. He didnʼt just cooperate well but even helped brainwash others.

However, he didnʼt know how disdainful Luo Wanya was of their brainwashing techniques.

Just then, one of the custodians, still smiling, said, ”Family members, our superiors have assigned a task. Our family members in the Outer World urgently need a sum of operating funds. Would any of you like to volunteer a donation? This is a rare opportunity. The superiors said that only those family members who volunteer to donate can integrate into a larger family and have more chances for promotion within the organization…”

Luo Wanya said excitedly, ”Iʼll donate! Donʼt compete with me, family members. I have lots of cash, all hidden under the bed. Where do you need me to deliver it?”

One of the men unfolded a small piece of paper, glanced at it, and said, ”The night after your return, under the Royal City Bridge. You will naturally have someone to meet you there.”

Luo Wanyaʼs heart surged with excitement. Could this mean he could get a hold of the organizationʼs agents in the Outer World?

But now, he had not yet regained his personal freedom. If he made a mess in the Outer World, wouldnʼt he likely die once he got back?

The custodian looked at Luo Wanya, then turned to everyone else with a smile, ”Family members, look at Luo Wanyaʼs consciousness. Thatʼs the attitude a family should have. Is there anyone else who wants to contribute to the organization?”

Under Luo Wanyaʼs lead, the family members were eager to donate.

”Alright, go to sleep,” said the man, satisfied after completing the task of collecting operating funds. ”You wonʼt have to sleep on the ground tomorrow. Iʼll take the family members to another place in the evening, somewhere safer and more comfortable.”

The ʼfamily membersʼ looked at each other, joy dawning on their faces.

Luo Wanya inwardly cried out in alarm. The place where he was confined was already hard to find, and if the daytime people had just discovered a clue and he was moved elsewhere, wouldnʼt all their efforts be in vain?

This time, Luo Wanya was truly anxious!

Daytime big brothers, where the hell are you?
