Return countdown 24:00:00.
Qing Chen looked at Spade Guo Huchan, who was brought over. His bald head still glead as he said with a half-smile, "Aren’t we all family here? You ca without saying a word, did you really have to starve for six days before coming out?"
To be honest, he didn’t expect to capture one of his own in this raid...
As of now, only 381 people still insist on not coming out from their rooms, but the Parent Association is not in a hurry; they have plenty of patience.
The unexpected catch was that many spies had originally infiltrated City 10, from various factions.
This wave finally cleared them out completely...
Qing Chen believed that there had never been a city in the entire Federation as clean as this one.
No spies, no criminals.
Guo Huchan sat across from him, ravenously shoveling food into his mouth. "I just felt embarrassed getting caught, didn’t expect you to be so cruel to station so many people at the door."
"How did you get into the city? You weren’t on the list. Was it your neighbor who reported you?" Qing Chen asked.
Guo Huchan answered grumpily, "I crawled in through the sewer system. I ca to et soone and was planning to leave imdiately. When I tried to leave, I found the sewer was lined with a human sensing landmine array, couldn’t get out!"
It was fine when I ca, but I couldn’t get out!
When the search started, Guo Huchan thought to himself that as a renowned Spade mber, it would be humiliating to be captured and brought to the screening point, so he hid in a house...
But eventually, he couldn’t hide any longer.
Guo Huchan initially relied on his own skills to break out, but unexpectedly, he, a Spade expert, couldn’t beat the family mbers outside. Two Shadow Troop soldiers and four Parent Association mbers easily took him down.
He had no fight left in him.
Guo Huchan, finishing his al, wiped his mouth and said, "Ti flies, really. The first ti I t you, you were just an ordinary person. Now you’ve beco a colossus."
This bald man’s words pulled Qing Chen back to the ti when he had just crossed over. At that ti, he pretended to be Xu Linsen and tricked Guo Huchan into protecting a middle-aged health preservation booklet.
"Ti does indeed fly," Qing Chen said, standing up. "No need to hide anymore. Your Spade mbers Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei are now Golden Family mbers of my Parent Association. The doors are always open for you."
"You said it!" Guo Huchan muttered, "Then get a City 10 resident ID card."
Qing Chen smiled and looked at Xiao Wu: "You handle it for him."
Leaving the parlor, Qing Chen slowly headed toward the Garrison Camp, where the Puppets were now concentrated.
The closer he got to the camp, the heavier his heart felt.
Walking into the Garrison Forces’ eting room, it had already been converted into a temporary prison.
A total of 1301 people were quietly sitting there, their hands bound by Shadow Troop with vines from the Taboo Forest.
As Qing Chen entered, all 1301 pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to look at him.
The synchronized action and intrigued gaze made one’s scalp tingle.
Qing Chen coldly stared at them. In the first row was soone he was very familiar with: when he was picking up scientists in the Northern Jindai city, it was this young man who had opened the Key of Gate for him.
Looking further back, among these 1301 people, there were 701 residents, including politicians, officials, technical workers, dance girls, and hackers.
The remaining 600 were all Parent Association mbers.
It was shocking!
It turned out that a single city had been infiltrated by so many Puppets, these people had no escape path left.
Even if he could capture the main body of Zong Cheng and kill Zong Cheng, the Puppets would die along with him.
But what troubled Qing Chen the most was a certain face among the crowd.
The person seed to sense his gaze, stood up smiling though with bound hands: "Surprised that even this person was made into a Puppet by ?"
Qing Shuli.
Qing Chen’s mother’s second husband.
Qing Chen calmly looked at him, if Qing Shuli was infiltrated, then what about Zhang Wanfang?
Even though he knew Zhang Wanfang was not his biological mother, was there truly no affection? And then there was the child of Qing Shuli and Zhang Wanfang, Hao Hao.
It’s still just a child.
’Qing Shuli’ smiled and said: "Don’t you find their whole family rather annoying? I’ve turned them all into Puppets now, so they won’t bother you anymore. If you think about it, you should thank for it."
Qing Chen remained silent.
’Qing Shuli’ continued smiling: "Actually, this Puppet is quite interesting. After Zhang Wanfang abandoned you, he beca the only one who felt guilty toward you. Although only a nominal stepfather, he felt he owed you sothing, so he joined the Parent Association, working day and night. He didn’t care about being a Golden Family mber or Blue Family mber, he just wanted to help you... how peculiar."
Qing Chen remained silent.
How could he not know about Qing Shuli working tirelessly? Luo Wanya would report every detail of the Parent Association’s operations to him daily.
Others might have overlooked it, but not Qing Chen.
Previously, he didn’t understand why Qing Shuli suddenly beca so diligent; now he understood.
He recalled the seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man, whose initial alertness upon eting him stemd from his wariness of Qing Guozhong.
That middle-aged man didn’t want any ties with Qing Guozhong, to the point he even loathed Qing Guozhong’s son.
