Chapter 726: 428, Qing Yuan’s clue!

“I’ll address you as ‘Senior Li Yi’ one last time,” Sun Chu Ci said calmly, “We might not be as well off as the Longhu Commune right now, but even when facing danger in the wilderness, we find happiness. What we enjoy is the thrill of exploring an unknown world, not the enjoyment of power.”

Li Yi sneered, “What joy can there be without the ability to protect oneself?”

Sun Chu Ci continued seriously, “At worst, we die in the Inner World, which is still better than living on our knees. The Longhu Commune plays bureaucratic games all day long. I heard that your President Wang Zhenbei recently asked a Level 3 member to get his sister drunk and send her to him. Isn’t that so?”

Li Yi narrowed his eyes, “Who told you that?”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Sun Chu Ci replied, “The Longhu Commune thinks just because they’ve become Time Travelers, they can do whatever they want. That’s naive.”

Having said this, Sun Chu Ci left with Tuan Zi and the others.

Qing Chen watched with amusement, thinking to himself that Sun Chu Ci’s character was quite solid, suitable for the daylight.

After they had left, Li Yi carefully explained to Qing Chen, “What Sun Chu Ci mentioned was all hearsay. The third boss didn’t ask for it, it was the Level 3 member who offered his sister himself.”

It seemed that the third boss in Qing Yuan’s organization was Wang Zhenbei, who really got the title of a boss after the merger.

No different from a bandit pledging allegiance to a mountain stronghold.

Seeing such things in modern society was truly astonishing…

Qing Chen glanced at Li Yi and shook his head, “I don’t care about such matters.”

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, “Second boss, what do we do now?”

“Pick up people, of course,” Qing Chen said, “Isn’t that why you came? If the people haven’t been picked up yet, what else could you possibly do?”

Li Yi was momentarily taken aback, “You’re coming with me to pick them up?”

“Of course,” Qing Chen nodded, “Otherwise, why would I be here? I need those people. After you’ve picked them up, you’ll come with me directly.”

Li Yi said timidly, “The third boss said to bring the people to him after picking them up…”

Qing Chen, with a smile, said, “Do you think what I say doesn’t carry as much weight as his does?”

“No, no,” Li Yi hurriedly replied, “I will follow your arrangements completely.”

Li Yi was well aware of Wang Zhenbei’s attitude towards Qing Yuan; he couldn’t ingratiate himself enough, just waiting for Qing Yuan to win the Shadow conflict and lead them all to great success.

Now, whatever Qing Yuan wanted to do, Wang Zhenbei would certainly cooperate, and as a subordinate, Li Yi didn’t need to oppose Qing Yuan.

Qing Chen looked at Li Yi and casually asked, “You were asking earlier how I ended up here. Where did you think I would be?”

Li Yi quickly tried to claim credit with a smile, “Everyone said you went to the International Conference Center to report, sir. The clothes you requested, identical to the Matrix’s, were custom-made by the third boss. That mask wasn’t easy to find either—I had to visit dozens of shops to find it.”

Qing Chen nodded, remaining calm, “I did intend to report there originally, but plans have changed.”

At that moment, he had finally found information related to Qing Yuan. The latter should have infiltrated the conference center by then, wearing a uniform identical to the Matrix’s and the same white mask.

It seemed he might be planning to blend into the Matrix to secretly listen to the Matrix’s secrets, didn’t it?

Wearing a mask, even the Matrix’s own members would struggle to tell who was who.

Qing Chen couldn’t help but feel that Qing Yuan seemed like a protagonist straight out of a template; after crossing over, he became a strong competitor in the power struggle of Qing’s Family, with ambition, helpers, and even the audacity to sneak into the Matrix to gather information.

Many would probably think that someone like Qing Yuan was supposed to be the main character in Time Traveler.

At least that’s what people in the Longhu Commune seemed to believe.

In fact, many in Time Traveler seem to fit the main character template, like He Jinqiu, Yuang Yang, Zheng Yuandong, Huan Yu… all of them seemed like chosen ones.

Even Nan Gengchen, with the events he encountered after crossing over, was like someone who had saved Earth in a past life.

But Qing Chen found this to be the amusing aspect of group time travelers.

But getting back to the point, knowing that Qing Yuan was disguising himself inside the conference center, Qing Chen felt relieved.

Otherwise, it would be quite awkward if the two Qing Yuans suddenly bumped into each other.

Qing Chen sent Li Yi to pick up the people while he himself, after Li Yi had left, sent a message to Liu Dezhu, Nan Gengchen, and Luo Wanya: “Keep an eye on the Matrix’s people and anyone wearing a Matrix uniform. If someone from the Matrix secretly leaves the group, follow them and find out their room. I need this person’s information. Also, inform me if anyone from the Red Leaves, Matrix, Gangsters, Red Umbrella Umbrella, Sanjiangkou leaves the conference center.”

Liu Dezhu: “Received.”

Nan Gengchen: “Received.”

Luo Wanya: “Received.”

In Qing Chen’s view, although Qing Yuan could blend into the Matrix team, there would always be a time when he would have to leave, otherwise, going back to a hotel room with the Matrix would give him away.

So, whoever left the group halfway could potentially be Qing Yuan.

At this point, Li Yi brought 21 people before Qing Chen, “Second boss, here are the Time Travelers dispersed in various cities of our organization, including Genetic Warriors and Ordinary People. Initially, there were supposed to be five other members with Mechanical limbs, but their limbs ran out of power, so they could only stay at home and wait for the cross-over in a few days.”

The extended travel and return times brought an unexpected downside…
