Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 539 339. The brilliance of the setting sunʼs afterglow

”What did I deceive you about?” Qing Chen lay quietly on the lounge chair, with no intense emotional fluctuations.

Qing Chen did not admit to anything, uncertain if the other party was bluffing.

”I know youʼre a Time Traveler,” Li Changqing said.

Qing Chen pretended to be dead and said nothing.

”I also know that you were the one who saved me at the Jinmao Tower,” Li Changqing said.

Qing Chen pretended to be dead and said nothing.

”Come on, stop pretending,” Li Changqingʼs smile deepened, sitting on the stone table next to him, looking down with interest at the young manʼs profile, ”The sniper who saved me had to be you. The past few days I got suddenly busy and didnʼt get a chance to come back and ask you, but you need to make it clear to me tonight.”

”It wasnʼt me, it was our organizationʼs boss,” Qing Chen explained earnestly.

This was basically an indirect admission of his identity as a Time Traveler, though it was indeed impossible to hide.

However, he still wanted to struggle a bit where the identities of the Daytime Boss and Daytime employees were concerned.

But then Li Changqing spoke in a leisurely manner, ”If the sniper above Jinmao Tower had just shot and killed the opponentʼs sniper, I wouldnʼt have been sure it was you, as you could have asked someone else to handle it.”

At that moment, Li Changqing changed her tone, staring intently at Qing Chen, ”But after killing the other snipers and not relocating, choosing instead to risk his life and keep firing blanks to intimidate the battlefield for me, from that moment, I was sure it was you.”

Qing Chen sighed, ”It really wasnʼt me.”

”Stop struggling, even if it isnʼt you, Iʼve made up my mind it was,” Li Changqing said, ”Also, I heard from a Time Traveler report that the sniper from the Outer World is very mysterious and is your boss. But on second thought, who is qualified to be your boss? Youʼre not the type to willingly be beneath others. Donʼt worry, I wonʼt tell anyone else.”

Qing Chen sighed, ”So many secrets get leaked after such promises.”

However, Li Changqing turned solemn, ”Iʼm serious, regardless of our friendship, youʼve already saved my life; I, Li Changqing, wouldnʼt joke about such a matter.”

Today the woman was not wearing her usual punk-style leather jacket but dressed in formal attire, her hair neatly tied up at the back of her head.

Qing Chen suddenly felt that when this woman dressed formally, she inexplicably carried a peculiar aura, very powerful.

Qing Chen curiously said, ”Technically, you should have known I was a Time Traveler a long time ago, why only find out now?”

Li Changqing thought and said, ”In the past, 99% of Time Travelers were controlled by Li Yunyi, and now that he has handed all his powers over to me, I know many things, including what you guys did in the Outer World this time.”

That explained it.

The consortium had a clear division of labor, each person had their own tasks, and information might not necessarily be shared.

But now, with Li Yunyi having stepped down, Li Changqing held all of Liʼs intelligence power, and since Daytime had played a role in the battle, if a Time Traveler knew anything, they would definitely have reported it to Li Changqing.

This was how Li Changqing knew of Qing Chenʼs identity as a Time Traveler.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, ”Is it your people messing around in the Island Country and Korea in the Outer World?”

Though he guessed it, he still needed confirmation.

”Yes,” Li Changqing nodded, ”Itʼs one of Liʼs most important recent plans, proposed by the old man, led by Li Yunshou, and executed by Li Yunyi. Qingʼs Family also sent some Time Travelers, but the main force was from Liʼs Family. This time facing the Civil War in the Federation, Liʼs and Qingʼs families will be allies.”

”Only a part from Qingʼs Family?” Qing Chen asked curiously.

”Yes, they have always been conserving their strength, and I donʼt know what their plans are,” Li Changqing said, ”But thatʼs not important, dealing with the threats in Jindai and Deer Island is what matters.”

”The Time Travelers from Liʼs Family, are they going to complete the substitution plan?” Qing Chen asked curiously, ”Was it successful?”

”Of course, it was a success, but I canʼt tell you the particulars,” Li Changqing said with a smile, ”This time I need to thank you too. According to my people, in the reversed traversal plan Kyushu stopped this time, my doppelgänger from Outer World was also involved, so it counts that youʼve saved me twice. How should I repay you?”

Qing Chen glanced at her, ”1.2 times, perhaps. This time I just gave a little help, the main credit still belongs to Kyushu.”

”1.2 times…” Li Changqing pouted, ”You really are precise.”

At that moment, Qing Chen felt something was amiss, ”If the old man really wanted to take Li Yunyiʼs power, why did he still entrust him with such a crucial matter? So, was this also a performance?”

”This is a secret within the Liʼs, even though you are qualified to be at the conference table, members of the Liʼs keep their own matters confidential and only report to the Family Head and the Chief Secretariat; there is no exchange between them,” Li Changqing said.

This response was in itself a confirmation.

Li Changqing suddenly felt something was off too, ”Donʼt change the subject, I have another question, are you really a Genetic Warrior, or did you swap the Genetic Potion last time for saline solution?”

Qing Chen inwardly startled.

The reason he had feigned death earlier was because he feared she would bring up this topic.

If this was exposed, it wouldnʼt just be playing dead, it would be social death!

After all, he had pretended to be in pain for five hours, and she had seen it all.
