Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 653: 399, Qing Shuli_3 Chapter 653: 399, Qing Shuli_3 Could it be that Qing Shuli from the Inner World had just arrived in City 18? Was he not there before?

But regardless of why Qing Shuli became a Time Traveler, what he should consider most is how to keep himself alive.

“Wait, I heard that Luo Wanya is also a Time Traveler, including his subordinates,” Qing Shuli thought of something, “If he is a Time Traveler, he should also be in City 18, right? Could I perhaps ask for his help?”

Zhang Wanfang hesitated, “You said before that he isn’t a good person, wouldn’t asking for his help possibly harm you instead?”

“There’s no other way now, I can only try asking,” Qing Shuli got up, put on his coat, wrapped his scarf, and walked towards the deeper part of the villa area with Zhang Wanfang.

As they walked, Qing Shuli said, “Let’s first establish ourselves in the Inner World. If our safety is guaranteed, maybe becoming a Time Traveler is a good thing… Perhaps we could pay some money to have General Luo look out for us.”

“Hmm,” Zhang Wanfang responded solemnly.

At this moment, her concerns were entirely focused on her husband’s safety; she couldn’t think of anything else.

However, the next moment, before they even reached the deeper part of the villa area, they saw a top-end, dual-tone Mercedes Maybach driving out from a small path.

The driver was Luo Wanya, and it seemed there was another person in the back seat, but the individual’s appearance was obscured behind the front seat, completely unrecognizable.

It was now early morning, and the light inside the car was dim with no lights turned on, and the administrative-grade tinted car windows were all anti-peeping.

When Zhang Wanfang saw Luo Wanya, she waved her arms vigorously and shouted, “General Luo, stop for a moment! Please stop!”

Luo Wanya looked back and asked in a low voice, “Boss, should I stop the car?”

Qing Chen said, “Let’s stop for a moment, see what they want, and don’t let them know I’m in the car.”

The Maybach stopped, and Luo Wanya got out of the car and asked in puzzlement, “What’s the matter?”

Qing Shuli spoke clearly, “A countdown suddenly appeared on my arm, and I haven’t been out of town recently, so I might become a Time Traveler from City 18… I heard you are also a Time Traveler, and a very formidable one at that. Could I please ask for your help in City 18?”

While speaking, Qing Shuli couldn’t help but look toward the car, but his view was blocked by Luo Wanya’s sturdy figure.

Qing Shuli thought, there are rules about who sits where in a car—usually, those of lower status drive while those of higher status sit in the back.

In Qing Shuli’s view, Luo Wanya was already a prominent figure in Los Angeles City, so who could be of such status that Luo Wanya would serve as a driver?

Luo Wanya glanced at Qing Shuli. He knew very well who this man was, operating a medium-sized machinery manufacturing factory and dealing in export trade.

But that wasn’t important; what was important was that this man was the current husband of Qing Chen’s mother, Zhang Wanfang.

When he first encountered Zhang Wanfang and Qing Shuli at the door, it might have appeared nonchalant, but after returning, he had done quite some work.

For example, a street-smart person like Luo Wanya, meticulous as hair, how could he blindly follow others without any preliminary investigation?

However, whether Qing Shuli would be looked after now that he became a Time Traveler was not something Luo Wanya could decide anymore, “The two of you, I have to take my boss to the North Suburbs Airport. Can we talk about your matter when I return? This countdown is long, and there’s no rush at this moment.”

Qing Shuli was stunned for a moment. Luo Wanya’s boss?

How had he never heard before that Luo Wanya had a boss?

He quickly said, “Alright, you go ahead with your tasks. I live in ‘Cherry Blossom Town’ Phase One, 27-101, and here is my business card; you can call me anytime.”

Luo Wanya got back into the car and quickly drove away.

Qing Shuli and Zhang Wanfang stood by the roadside, silently watching the vehicle drive away, the important figure in the back seat, had not said a word from beginning to end.

Utterly mysterious.

It was silent inside the car.

Qing Chen asked, “You called me boss, were you trying to test my identity?”

Luo Wanya replied with a slight embarrassment, “Boss, please don’t be angry or kill me to silence me; I’m the best at reading people when roaming the rivers and lakes. Hu Xiaoniu, Nan Gengchen, and Jiang Xue in the daytime villa clearly looked at you with the eyes of a boss, I could definitely tell…”

Qing Chen smiled, “No need to test, and don’t worry too much, I won’t silence you by killing you. Now you are also a formal member of the daytime, part of the family, knowing too much isn’t an issue.”

Luo Wanya quickly said, “Right, right, family!”

Honestly, when Luo Wanya discovered the truth of the matter, he was a bit shocked because he realized that it was this handsome young man who had played everyone around, and it was he alone who supported the mysterious and powerful daytime.

Now, he had become a big figure in the 10th City. After arriving there, he had heard that his name and title, in the official circles of the 10th City, made people pale at the mention.

Luo Wanya cautiously asked, “What about this Qing Shuli?”

“If the next time travel makes contact possible, help him out a bit,” Qing Chen said calmly, “Don’t help too much, nor kick him when he’s down, just let nature take its course.”

In Qing Chen’s view, Qing Shuli was just a normal person with some petty thoughts, who was merely maintaining his own family and hadn’t done anything wrong.

It wasn’t something worth Qing Chen taking revenge over.

Moreover, to Qing Chen, it was already a trivial matter, not even worth continuing the discussion.

Qing Chen said, “Do you know why I wanted you to take me to the airport?”

Luo Wanya whispered, “Boss, you had something you wanted to discuss with me alone.”

Qing Chen nodded, “First, I had seriously thought about revealing my identity to you tonight, and second, I wanted to remind you about the limits regarding Parents’ Meeting.”

Qing Chen continued, “I know you’re very good at brainwashing, but you also need to consider that the people you brainwash might go into a frenzy that leads to the collapse of their original families, driving them to a ruined life. So, even if you continue to expand, you must ensure that the members of the Parents’ Meeting stay on their original life tracks, not using them to gain benefits for you, not coaxing them into illegal activities.”

Luo Wanya cautiously asked, “Then what’s the purpose of me setting up this Parents’ Meeting?”

Qing Chen explained, “They just need to continue their lives, then collect valuable intelligence from what they see and hear, and report it to you.”

After founding the Parents’ Meeting, Luo Wanya became a bit recklessly crazy.

However, the clear-headed Qing Chen realized the harm the existence of the Parents’ Meeting could bring to those people’s families and to society as a whole.

Thus, as the leader of the daytime, he had to keep the organization on the right track, and if anyone deviated, he had to take the responsibility to correct it.

What Qing Chen needed was just a pervasive network of intelligence, nothing more.
