Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 953: 589, changes are coming_2

“Why?” Qing Chen asked.

Lu Yuan calmly replied, “Daylight has now become a thorn in many people’s sides, not only Jindai Consortium wants Daylight, but the North American ‘Future’ organization you dealt with before might also want to get rid of you. In that school, your yet-to-grow members will be much safer, and Jiang Xue can also go there to teach painting. This is one.”

Lu Yuan: “Boss Zheng asked me to tell you that if you want to find companions, instead of developing in the Inner World, it’s better to look in that school. This is the second.”

The two reasons Kunlun provided were, one, to offer temporary shelter for Daylight, and two, to provide convenience for Qing Chen, which could be said to show a very cooperative attitude.

Having such allies for Daylight domestically will bring a lot of stability.

In any case, both Kunlun and Kyushu are still entities that Daylight needs to look up to at the moment.

At least that’s the case in the Outer World.

Qing Chen smiled, “Please tell Boss Zheng that I will consider it, but my identity is sensitive right now, so if I go, it will be anonymously.”

“Understood,” Lu Yuan turned and left.

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly called out to him, “By the way, there’s a piece of information I want you to pass on to Boss Zheng. I saw foreigners in City 22… white people. I suspect that the Jindai Consortium might be preparing to accommodate West Coast forces and provide them with a forward base.”

Lu Yuan was taken aback: “Thank you, this is very important. We previously had clues suggesting Jindai was building a forward base on an overseas island, but it wasn’t confirmed. Now it seems it is!”

With that, he hurried away.

Qing Chen listened to the wailing from inside the house and called out behind Lu Yuan, “Wait, let’s chat for a bit longer!”

“No more chatting!” Lu Yuan was somewhat amused and exasperated. He used to want to chat with Qing Chen but couldn’t find him. Now, this guy wants to use him as an excuse to escape, no way!

Qing Chen watched him leave, and as he was about to go back inside, he heard Xiao Tongyun shouting, “Ahhhh, Qing Chen brother, save me!”

Qing Chen stood at the door for a while, thinking for a long time, then called Hu Xiaoniu: “Have you eaten?”

Hu Xiaoniu on the other end hesitated for a long time: “Boss, it’s only 3 p.m., not even meal time yet… is there anything you need?”

Qing Chen said, “Xiao Niu, I need you to start the safe house plan. From today onwards, Hu Corporation needs to help us set up safe houses worldwide.”

Hu Xiaoniu: “Understood.”

Qing Chen: “Is everything going smoothly on your end?”

Hu Xiaoniu thought for a while: “Fairly smooth, but I’m learning a bit slowly, and during training, I get injured which affects progress.”

“Hmm, take care, and be careful.”

At this time, Jiang Xue’s voice came from inside, “Still not calling me sister?”

Followed by Li Tongyun’s crying…

Hu Xiaoniu paused: “Boss, what’s going on.”

“Oh, nothing, Xiao Tongyun had a mishap…”

Qing Chen sighed; it’s as thrilling to hide one’s identity as it is to be unmasked…

…

…

In the Haicheng diving training hall, having completed two life-or-death challenges, Hu Xiaoniu had just rented the entire training hall, open only for him.

Zhang Tianzhen sat cross-legged by the azure pool, meditating, while Hu Xiaoniu wiped his hair puzzledly said, “The boss never let me use Hu Corporation’s resources to help Daylight before, what’s going on today? Could it be Daylight is in some special danger, should we go back?”

Yet, Zhang Tianzhen, even without opening his eyes, confidently said, “Daylight in danger? The boss went to Osaka, caused a stir, and the opponents couldn’t do anything to him. It should be others thinking Daylight is dangerous. With the boss’s personality, if Daylight was in danger, he wouldn’t have called you, because he wouldn’t want to implicate you. Now that he’s asking you to use Hu’s resources, it’s because he considers you one of his own, nothing more. Outsiders need politeness, not your own people.”

“Right,” Hu Xiaoniu nodded, “68 safe houses, all set up across my dad’s industry, two sets per public test city, overseas there are 30, my dad’s arrangements are very discreet, all through nominee accounts.”

“With your father personally handling it, it’s definitely solid. By the way, Chen Sui is hosting a party on the Bund tonight and invited us. Are you going,” Zhang Tianzhen asked.

“Not going,” Hu Xiaoniu shook his head, “What’s he inviting us for?”

“Must have realized how formidable Daylight is, worried the boss might retaliate for poaching attempts,” Zhang Tianzhen nonchalantly said, “Now that Daylight is famous, everyone wants to connect with us. We get a dozen invites a day, they can’t find you, so they come to me. Yesterday, I even got pulled into a Shanghai celeb group.”

Zhang Tianzhen and Hu Xiaoniu are both among the notable second-generation rich in Haicheng, quite famous and socially active.

Of course, Hu Xiaoniu is not useless; over this period, he’s brought back a lot of business secrets from the Inner World through Monopoly. Hu Dacheng now has the air of a new tech prodigy, starting to venture into the chip industry in the Outer World.

It’s a mystery where Monopoly got a whole set of data, so complete.

Many tried to do it in the Inner World, but such tech secrets, even if obsolete, were unattainable.

But Monopoly got it, an entire industrial chain…

Now, Hu Corporation is quite different from before.

With the identity of Daylight, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen are dazzlingly brilliant.

Hu Xiaoniu said, “Ignore them. The first life lesson I learned from the boss is not to get entangled with trivial matters.”

“The boss is naturally cold anyway,” Zhang Tianzhen laughed, recalling when Qing Chen used to keep people at arm’s length: “By the way, when are we eating, I’m hungry.”

“Jump 10 more times,” Hu Xiaoniu said.

Zhang Tianzhen muttered, “Crazy.”

At night, Xiao Tongyun lay in bed, crying, heartbroken.

The key thing is, she can foresee Jiang Xue will restrict her in the Inner World too, and things won’t be as free as now.

Of course, she’s only 11 this year and still needs some family constraints.

Xiao Tongyun was in despair, considering leaving home… but no, she’s not strong enough yet, needs to wait until reaching B-Class at least.

The young girl, mature like Qing Chen, knew when to do what, even thinking of running away required complete preparation.

Amidst her wandering thoughts, Xiao Zhenji crawled into her bed, snuggling into her arms, seemingly trying to comfort her.

Suddenly, Li Tongyun didn’t feel as upset anymore.

…

…

In a villa in Zheng City, all the windows were tightly veiled with black velvet curtains.

Qing Yuan sat on the sofa, holding an open laptop.

“Qing Chen, Daylight, Joker, master of disguise…” Qing Yuan muttered to himself.

He reviewed the events of the Zheng City incident, and reanalyzed all information related to Qing Chen.

Qing Yuan suddenly laughed, “If it’s like this, then the before and after makes sense. It was you looking for me back then, indeed.”

However, at that moment, the villa’s doorbell rang.

Qing Yuan frowned, checking outside through his phone’s surveillance.

Surveillance surrounded the villa for his sense of security.

On the phone screen, Lu Yuan placed a document at the door, then turned and left.

Qing Yuan opened the door, seeing his university acceptance letter!

He’s 20 this year, at the right age for a sophomore year.

At this time, a middle-aged man came downstairs: “Xiao Yuan, who was it?”

Qing Yuan said, “Dad, it’s Kunlun delivering an acceptance letter. Also, did you see the report about Qing Chen? If I want to be the Shadow, he might be the biggest obstacle.”

The middle-aged man pondered, “This person is currently valued by the Shadow, we can’t touch him.”

“The Inner World is the Shadow’s domain; then we will kill him in the Outer World.”

…
