Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 526 334, Qingʼs Family Time Traveler_4

”Going to the Taboo Land?” the rich second generation exclaimed, ”Can you guys leave the city?”

Qi Duo said, ”Right now, City 18 is even more dangerous than the Taboo Land. Chairman Nangong is taking everyone away to temporarily avoid that place.”

Zhang Lanjin smiled, ”This is also one of our organizationʼs advantages. You all donʼt need to ask how we can take everyone out, just be assured we can definitely get the visas sorted.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Chen fell into deep thought. It looked like among these students, there were connections to the Federationʼs immigration bureau.

Moreover, the intent of Freemasonry was very clear: they did not want these students to get caught up in the turmoil of City 18, preserving this strategic resource.

Qing Chen suddenly pondered.

Could it be that the Time Travelers under the control of the Li Family or Qingʼs Family were expanding the influence of the Outer World in a special way?

Now, the Time Travelers from Jindai, Deer Island, and the Chen Clan had all been active, but the Li Family and Qingʼs Family had been unusually silent, which was very strange.

If the key leaders of Freemasonry were from the Li Family or Qingʼs Family, then many things could be explained.

If all these Time Travelers were in the hands of that Mr. Shadow, what was he staying hidden for?

At that moment, the rich second-generation guy suddenly said, ”Joining Freemasonry isnʼt a problem either, itʼs just that we canʼt go exploring the wilderness.”

”Why not?” Qi Duo asked curiously.

The rich second-generation replied with a mix of reserve and pride, ”Weʼre going to enter Prison No. 10!”

Qi Duo, Zhang Lanjin: ”???”

Qing Chen: ”...”

Nan Gengchen: ”...”

As they searched for Liu Dezhu in the crowd, they found him heading down towards the restroom with his head lowered, seemingly wishing to avoid this topic.

After a long pause, Qi Duo asked, ”All of you are going into prison?”

The rich second-generation answered, ”Thatʼs right, everyone!”

”Then why do you still seem so happy about it?” Qi Duo said, unable to hold back a laugh.

The rich second-generation said mysteriously, ”You know Liu Dezhu? Brother Liu is currently inside Prison No. 10. Weʼre going there to join him. Why donʼt you forget about Freemasonry and come to Prison No. 10 with us... Brother Liu? Where did Brother Liu go? He was just here a moment ago, wasnʼt he?”

Zhang Lanjin looked at this group of rich second-generation kids and suddenly regretted inviting them to join Freemasonry.

”Excuse me,” Qi Duo turned and left.

”This bunch doesnʼt seem to have any value to recruit,” Zhang Lanjin followed him, ”I have a middle school classmate here, maybe we should go and learn about the situation at Los Angeles Foreign Language School from him?”

Qi Duo thought for a moment, ”Alright, whatʼs your classmateʼs name and which class is he in?”

”His name is Wang Jiale, heʼs in Senior 2 Class 7. He mentioned in our middle school chat group before, that thereʼs a very formidable Time Traveler at Los Angeles Foreign Language School,” Zhang Lanjin said.

Otaru Cuisine in the Luo Long District.

He Jinqiu was eating scallop sashimi by herself, the red and white flesh dipped in green wasabi and soy sauce creating a unique blend of spicy flavors.

With each bite, He Jinqiu savored the moment.

A young man pushed the door open, and as the door swung open, it struck the welcoming wind chimes at the entrance, producing a clear and tinkling sound.

He sat down in front of He Jinqiu, smiling as he said, ”Mr. He seems to be in good spirits. My name is Ji Guanya, and itʼs nice to meet you for the first time. Please take good care of me.”

”Iʼm idle anyway,” He Jinqiu responded indifferently, ”Whatʼs the matter, are you worried Kyushu isnʼt taking the situation with Jindai and Deer Island seriously? The next time you travel back, you can convey to Li Changqing and Li Yunshou that since Kyushu has promised to cooperate with them, we wonʼt go back on our word.”

The young man sitting across from him, Ji Guanya, was none other than the leader of the Time Travelers for the Li Family in the Outer World, responsible for liaising with Kyushu on all matters.

The person who could take on such a role was no ordinary individual.

Contrary to what many people imagined, that Time Travelers must be controlled to willingly work for conglomerates, Ji Guanya was free in the Inner World and could adapt and act on his own initiative in the Outer World.

To have gained such trust from Li Yunshou, he must possess extraordinary qualities.

Ji Guanya said with a smile, ”Iʼm not worried, Mr. He, youʼre overthinking it.”

”Hmm, letʼs have dinner first,” He Jinqiu said calmly, as if the matter of cooperating with the Li Family was not significant enough to concern him, perhaps even less important than the piece of Arctic shell between his chopsticks.

”Iʼve always been quite surprised,” Ji Guanya said, ”Mr. He, why are you willing to cooperate with the Li Family?”

He Jinqiu said with a smile, ”Li Changqing and I are both Directors of Huʼs Information Agency, so isnʼt it normal for us to look out for each other? Besides, I am not helping for nothing, right?”

As part of the exchange for the cooperation in the Outer World, Li Changqing had to vote for He Jinqiu at the next term change to support him in becoming the Executive Director of Huʼs Information Agency.

Thatʼs what He Jinqiu wanted.

Many people thought that there was a natural hatred between the people of the Outer World and those from the Inner World, but that was the case for Ordinary People; conglomerates were a machine, concerned only with matters related to their interests.

This was why, after a brief bout of anger, conglomerates immediately protected and controlled Time Travelers as strategic resources.

He Jinqiu picked up the white towel next to him and wiped his mouth. He took out the ʼcorrect Gold Coinʼ from his chest and habitually twiddled it between his fingers.

He asked leisurely, ”Iʼm curious, where are the Li Familyʼs Time Travelers? For such a life-and-death matter, they donʼt come to deal with it themselves and instead want to cooperate with me.”

”This is also a sign of full trust in Kyushu. We believe Mr. He is a trustworthy person, and we have more important things to do,” Ji Guanya replied with a smile.

He Jinqiu smiled, ”I hope everyone remains trustworthy. That way, youʼll have a way to survive in the Outer World. By the way, arenʼt you going to eat something?”

Ji Guanya didnʼt seem affected by the threat. He stood up and said with a smile, ”Iʼve got some matters to attend to so I wonʼt disturb Mr. He during your meal. Although I know Kyushu has a strong intelligence capability, I must still remind you, Jindai and Deer Island are planning an all-in move within the territory, and there will be masters showing up, the real Chosen Ones.”

He Jinqiu said, ”I know. Those two people have already killed more than a dozen of Kyushuʼs peripheral agents. Iʼve been chasing them for seven days and nights but havenʼt been able to find them. However, I believe they have already quietly arrived in Los Angeles City.”

”As long as Mr. He is aware of the situation, thatʼs good,” said Ji Guanya.

”I have another question,” He Jinqiu asked, ”What about the Qingʼs Family Time Travelers? Why havenʼt we seen them since the time-travel incident started?”

”All of Qingʼs Family Time Travelers are controlled by that Mr. Shadow. No one can guess what heʼs planning,” Ji Guanya shook his head.

He Jinqiu furrowed his brows.

Having a force always lurking within oneʼs own territory without ever revealing its intentions was not a good sign.

However, just then, a young woman at the neighboring table chuckled and said, ”You two donʼt need to worry about anything. Qingʼs shadow has asked me to tell you both that he has no schemes. He wonʼt be a shadow for much longer, and when the time comes, all the power in his hands will be passed on to the next Shadow. Right now, heʼs just accumulating a little more wealth for the other side.”

He Jinqiu laughed and said, ”Youʼve been pretending for so long, and finally couldnʼt help speaking up. To be honest, this is my first encounter with someone from Qingʼs Family in the Outer World... quite an interesting meeting.”

A 7,000-word chapter, there will be another one in the evening, but itʼs expected to be a bit later than usual
