Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 511: 328, The Winner of Involution, Luo Wanya_3

Before, it had been the same: Qing Chen had broken two ribs, yet he ran the lead during the harsh winter season without a single complaint.

…

…

Now, each time travel was fixed at 7 days, so his return was always on Saturday night, which meant he didn’t have to go to school the next day.

This feeling was as if the time travel mechanisms intentionally gave all Time Travelers a day off, possibly to adjust their exhausted mindsets during the weekends in the Outer World.

“Brother Chen, Luo Wanya previously provided information that they would be exchanging cash under the Royal City Bridge tonight. Should we stir up some trouble?” Nan Gengchen asked curiously.

“Thinking too much,” Zhang Tianzhen said calmly, “After we rescued Luo Wanya, those who were guarding him all died. In such a situation, even a fool would know that the plan has been exposed. If anyone still goes to the underpass of Royal City Bridge tonight, it’s definitely an ambush.”

However, just then, Qing Chen suddenly said, “The boss commanded that we still need to go take a look.”

Zhang Tianzhen was stunned for a moment, “Still going? What if there is an ambush…sssh.”

Zhang Tianzhen gasped, realizing, “You’re planning to ambush those who are setting up an ambush for us?”

Nan Gengchen, “No nesting dolls allowed.”

Zhang Tianzhen, “… Can’t you stop joking when we’re speaking seriously.”

Qing Chen glanced at them, “We’re not going to risk our lives recklessly, but we shouldn’t stay out of this matter. As the Taboo ACE-999 said in the group chat, our biggest reliance in the Inner World now is in opposition to both Jindai and Deer Island. If they emerge victorious, then we, too, must tread carefully. So, whatever Jindai or Deer Island want to do, we need to lend a hand, to prevent them from succeeding.”

Qing Chen added, “Of course, we must still act within our capabilities.”

At that moment, Nan Gengchen, checking his phone suddenly said, “Huh, look at the trending topics, Jindai Kongyin is going to hold a press conference in Los Angeles City. She’s quitting the entertainment industry in the Island Country and restarting her career in China?!”

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment; he also opened the trends on Weibo to look at the details.

Sure enough, as Nan Gengchen had said, the press conference was scheduled for 9 o’clock tomorrow morning at the Quan Shun Business Centre Plaza in the Luo Long District of Los Angeles City.

Nan Gengchen wondered, “Didn’t the group say she suddenly disappeared after coming to China, avoiding an assassination by the Jindai family? How can she now openly re-launch her career in China? Could this be a rumor?”

“Her being hunted is not a rumor,” Qing Chen shook his head, “I guess she’s most likely with the people from Kyushu now, attempting to use her to bait out the assassins from Jindai family.”

“Why not Kunlun?” Nan Gengchen asked curiously.

Qing Chen thought for a moment, “Because Kunlun doesn’t use others as bait; it’s not their style.”

Zhang Tianzhen said, “If this is really a ruse that Jindai Kongyin is collaborating on with Kyushu, it’s too obvious. The Time Travelers controlled by the Jindai family might not fall for it.”

Qing Chen said, “We need to consider two situations. The first is that Jindai Kongyin carries the Jindai family’s cultivation traditions. Then, whether this is a trap or not, they must attempt to kill Jindai Kongyin to prevent the leakage of their traditions. Given these stakes, the lives of Time Travelers are negligible, as you all know how indifferent the people in the Inner World are to life. This way, Kyushu would be pleased, sparing them a lot of trouble.”

“And the second scenario?”

“In the second scenario, Jindai Kongyin carries no significant secrets, and the Jindai family is unwilling to sacrifice Time Travelers over one individual. This outcome is what Jindai Kongyin hopes to see, allowing her to step back into the sunlight without anyone daring to pursue her again.”

What Qing Chen didn’t mention was that the foreign girl had indeed come to Los Angeles City.

At this moment, he was even more convinced that Qing Bao in the group was Jindai Kongyin, who, after seeing his name in the group, had come to Los Angeles City to confirm if he was indeed the Qing Chen she recognized.

Typically, a celebrity’s comeback press conference takes place in a top-tier big city. Jindai Kongyin holding it in Los Angeles City had to have something to do with Qing Chen.

Qing Chen thought about tonight’s meet up at Royal City Bridge and tomorrow’s press conference…

After this return, he was indeed quite busy.

However, the Jindai and Deer Island clans must have already commenced their new counter-time-travel plans; had those involved already set off?

This was, indeed, the most crucial matter for this return!

…

…

On the G307 high-speed train, the ninth carriage was nearly empty, with just over a dozen scattered passengers sitting around.

In row nine, He Jinqiu cheerfully said, “The high-speed railway is very convenient these days. It only takes three and a half hours from Jingcheng to Los Angeles City. This is something the Island Country can’t match.”

Jindai Kongyin nodded, “The infrastructure in our homeland has indeed been world-leading in recent years. My dad used to talk about this all the time.”

Sitting by the window, the girl looked out wistfully.

At that moment, a steward pushing a meal cart passed through the ninth carriage. Suddenly, the previously relaxed passengers, playing with their phones, all unanimously turned their attention to it.

This entire carriage had been booked by Kyushu just to prevent suspicious individuals from approaching Jindai Kongyin.

He Jinqiu glanced at the steward before turning his attention away, “Interestingly, the press conference could have been held in Jingcheng, where it would have higher impact and be convenient for your future activities in the film and television industry. Yet, why do you insist on having it in Los Angeles City?”

“Because I was headed to Los Angeles City anyway; I had already bought the ticket,” Jindai Kongyin answered with a smile.

He Jinqiu smiled and shook his head, “Never mind, I won’t ask more. You must have your reasons.”

Jindai Kongyin curiously asked, “Do you think they’ll come to kill me at the press conference?”

“Yes, because they do have essential reasons to kill you,” He Jinqiu spoke calmly, “But don’t worry, right now, sixty percent of the Kyushu members are in Los Angeles City, and so is Kunlun, just waiting for them to show up. With you working with Kyushu, we can locate as many of their controlled Time Travelers as possible, so you can freely live under the sunshine afterwards.”

However, it seemed as if Jindai Kongyin hadn’t quite listened to what He Jinqiu had said; she suddenly asked, “Is Los Angeles City fun? What are the people like there, easy to get along with?”
