Chapter 418: Substitute_3
“Whether they have good intentions or not, I have to go take a look. Aunt Jiang Xue, get so good sleep this afternoon. I’ll need you to drive through the night,” Qing Chen said.
“Are we going back to Los Angeles City overnight?” Jiang Xue asked.
“No,” Qing Chen smiled. “We’re going on a rescue mission.”
“Hmm, I won’t try to persuade you once you’ve made up your mind, but do be careful,” Jiang Xue said tenderly. “What exactly do you have to do that requires you to risk yourself?”
“To rescue a very important person,” Qing Chen sighed. “Soone’s going to owe a huge favor.”
With that, he even notified Liu Dezhu in the Dayti Group to co to Xian City again.
...
According to Zard’s information, within the Ti Travelers controlled by the Deer Island Financial Group, there was a very tricky individual, a rarely-seen chosen one amongst the Ti Travelers.
If this person hadn’t been there, the illegal entry wouldn’t have been possible.
This ant that the Deer Island Financial Group was taking this reverse ti-travel substitution plan very seriously.
Originally, Qing Chen had been an onlooker in the Ti Travelers’ illegal entry controlled by Deer Island, standing by the roadside to watch.
Unexpectedly, soone suddenly rushed out and knocked the waterlon out of his hands.
Honestly, he didn’t expect the first reverse ti-travel plan Deer Island executed to be related to soone close to him.
And it was soone he had no choice but to save.
However, this matter couldn’t be dealt with by the Dayti Group alone. After a mont of thought, Qing Chen sent a ssage to the boss of Kunlun using his own identity: “My boss asked to relay a ssage. Tonight, the Ti Travelers from Deer Island will drive to Los Angeles City to complete the final step of the reverse ti-travel plan. They just need to deliver the person there, and a countdown should appear on the arm of that Ordinary Person from the Outer World. In addition, there are foreign military personnel among these Ti Travelers; after crossing over and becoming Ti Travelers, they also ca into great opportunities, making them quite troubleso.”
Zheng Yuandong replied, “We’ve already grasped this information and located them. Kunlun will take action tonight in a deserted and uninhabited area.”
Qing Chen asked, “I thought you were going to make a move yesterday.”
“It snowed yesterday, the highway was temporarily closed, and they didn’t take to the road,” Zheng Yuandong replied. “Acting in a bustling area would create imasurable consequences for Ordinary People. Fortunately, it was just a light snow yesterday that lted soon after it fell.”
Qing Chen was stunned; Kunlun hadn’t acted last night because they were concerned about causing harm to the Ordinary People in the city, so they had decided to wait until tonight.
Once the people from Deer Island got onto the highway, in an area that was vast and sparsely populated, Kunlun would no longer have any restrictions.
Unlike common organizations, Kunlun had more considerations and missions to shoulder.
But to be honest, Qing Chen had thought that Kunlun was a small and information-isolated organization; he hadn’t expected that they had already obtained so much information.
He recalled the previous incident when Liu Dezhu was nearly assassinated by Wang’s hired n, the full-sized combat teams that suddenly appeared in several buildings, and the two snipers hidden in the shadows.
Qing Chen suddenly felt that Kunlun might still have so forces hidden under the water.
Unlike Zhang Yang from Kyushu, Kunlun was more restrained and forbearing.
However, why was Zheng Yuandong willing to share such important information directly with him? Was this considered trust?

In the Vienna Hotel, Xu Zimo, Zhou Xuanying, Wang Jiale, and Xia Xiaoran were revising in their room.
Twenty minutes after the exam, the questions had already been released online for sale to the examinees.
Zhou Xuanying seed to co from a well-off family; he had imdiately bought four copies to print so everyone could redo it together and see if they had filled in the correct answers.
This was a process that top students normally went through after exams.
“I got the second question wrong; I fell into the trap set by the question,” Xia Xiaoran sighed. “This year’s questions weren’t difficult, but I didn’t expect them to be so tricky.”
“I also got it wrong,” Wang Jiale said calmly. “I should have thought more about it at the ti. Zimo, did you get it right?”
“I did,” Xu Zimo nodded. “I’ve done a lot of practice questions and have seen this type before.”
“Aweso,” Zhou Xuanying exclaid. “Say, Zimo, where do you normally find your practice questions? Could you share with us? Also, could you explain your thought process for that second question?”
Unknowingly, Zhou Xuanying had started to refer to Xu Zimo simply as Zimo.
Just then, Tian Hailong ca in from outside, apologizing, “I’m sorry, students, I was planning to book tickets for everyone today, but I forgot that New Year’s Day is coming up and the high-speed train is full… not exactly full, but only three first-class tickets are left. The school can afford to pay for first-class tickets; the difference in price isn’t that significant, but it ans two students have to wait for tomorrow’s train.”
As he spoke, Tian Hailong took a breath and quickly added, “However, I’ve discussed it with the school and since we ca together, we should go back together, so we’ll stay here one more night. There are tickets available for tomorrow night, and we’ll leave tomorrow evening.”
At that mont, Zhou Xuanying suddenly said, “Teacher Tian, why don’t I have my dad send over the business van from his factory to pick us up now? It’s only about a five-hour drive from Los Angeles City, and he could arrive by this afternoon. Although it’s not as fast as the high-speed train, the van has been modified and is very comfortable to sit in. Moreover, with what happened last night in Xian City, it’s not appropriate for us to stay overnight here.”
“Would that be alright?” Tian Hailong hesitated before asking.
“It’s fine,” Zhou Xuanying smiled. “I’ll call my dad right now. Teacher Tian, you know about the trouble Qing Chen has gotten into. Honestly, it’s not safe for us to stay in Xian City. My family has been worried about my safety since last night and has been saying they’ll co pick up.”
After so consideration, Tian Hailong also felt that Xian City wasn’t very safe and agreed, “That’s very kind of your father. He can keep the gas receipts and toll receipts; the school will reimburse him.”
“There’s no need,” Zhou Xuanying said with a smile. “It’s not much money.”
