Chapter 70

Chuan Wang, the owner of this ID, seems to have a lot of information.

Even Qing Chen, the party involved, did not know that the Qing family's Land Cruiser airship and the ACE-009 taboo item existed.

Although he doesn’t know what that thing is, it must be extremely terrifying if it can be used against Li Shuntong.

But who is this Chuan Wang?

In the current surface world, the most authoritative source of information within the territory is He Xiaoxiao, but she focuses on strategies, while Chuan Wang is more like a war correspondent.

Comparatively, in terms of real-time information, Chuan Wang definitely has the upper hand.

In just two hours, the number of followers on the Chuan Wang account exceeded thirty million!

Qing Chen sat in the classroom, keeping an eye on the news developments.

Due to the exposure of the illegal detention case, the time travelers have collectively fallen silent, fearing that their identities as time travelers would be remembered.

However, this Chuan Wang ID seems to have chosen to speak up precisely during this period of collective silence.

Thus, it immediately drew a lot of attention.

Qing Chen judged that those who stepped forward at this time were not fools. Either they had the backing of an organization like Kunlun and were not afraid of scattered forces, or they, like He Xiaoxiao, possessed technology or abilities to remain hidden.

Time travel is a process of survival of the fittest. Someone like Liu Dezhu, who was initially very bold, would have died long ago if he hadn’t been protected by the system in prison.

Just like those time travelers who died under the torture of the inner world organizations, when they returned, they came back as severely injured corpses.

Qing Chen has been waiting, hoping that someone would expose Chuan Wang’s identity.

Previously, a time traveler came out acting mysterious, but was found by hackers within an hour, and a series of identity information was exposed, including a classmate from kindergarten claiming to have been beaten by this internet celebrity...

This is the information age; without solid protection, one will eventually be found out.

However, after a whole morning, Chuan Wang remained mysterious.

This is enough to show the problem.

"It looks like more and more time travelers will emerge soon," Qing Chen judged internally, "and these time travelers are different from the previous internet celebrities. They possess technology to resist the surface world and have their own methods of concealment."

During the first break in the afternoon, when Qing Chen went to the toilet, he accidentally saw the expensive watch that Hu Xiaoniu had once worn.

It was now on Liu Dezhu’s wrist.

Moreover, Hu Xiaoniu, Liu Dezhu, and Zhang Tianzhen were chatting and laughing as if they had become good friends overnight.

Qing Chen frowned and went back to the toilet, closing the door. He had specifically told Liu Dezhu not to take the watch, but Liu Dezhu didn’t listen to his instructions.

He hid in a stall and sent a message to Liu Dezhu: "Have you made any progress in communicating with the four transfer students from Hai City?"

It wasn’t until the next break that Liu Dezhu hid in the toilet and replied: "Boss, don’t worry. Although these four people are rich, they are quite stingy. There has been no progress yet."

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. At first, he thought Liu Dezhu didn’t understand his advice, but now it seemed that Liu Dezhu was planning to keep the watch for himself.

This guy first tricked more things from Hu Xiaoniu, then only gave him a part, and finally tricked some benefits from him, such as gene agents.

In the end, Liu Dezhu would profit greatly, while Qing Chen and Hu Xiaoniu would become his tools for profit.

It must be said that Qing Chen suddenly felt that Liu Dezhu’s intelligence had improved!

If he wasn’t in the neighboring class, he might have been fooled by Liu Dezhu.

Liu Dezhu probably never expected that the third time traveler would be in his neighboring class.

After all, even though Lu City is small, it has a population of over six million...

Actually, Liu Dezhu’s reaction is understandable. No cooperation can always go smoothly.

In the process of cooperation, everyone has their own small thoughts, which is the real world and real people.

It’s unreasonable to expect that a little intimidation and benefits would make someone loyally serve as a shield or firewall for you.

However, Qing Chen knew that Liu Dezhu wasn’t a hard nut to crack.

At this moment, Liu Dezhu sent a message: "Boss, the students from Hai City want to know how to quickly establish themselves in City 18. What kind of help can we provide? How about we give them some sweet deals first?"

Qing Chen replied: "Like a watch, for example."

Liu Dezhu, who was squatting in the toilet, suddenly looked up.

The word "watch" was too crucial, and he instantly understood that the other party knew everything.

Is the third time traveler a classmate or an alumnus?

In his memory, students were coming and going in the hallway, and the playground was crowded during the break.

But Liu Dezhu felt a chill, as if a pair of eyes was quietly watching him from somewhere he didn’t know.

Liu Dezhu’s hands trembled as he replied: "Boss, I was wrong. Punish me. I’ll return the watch right away and won’t say anything..."

A few minutes later, Liu Dezhu came out of the toilet. Hu Xiaoniu, who was waiting outside, was puzzled: "Why did it take so long? How about we go to a bar tonight? I haven’t been to a bar since I came to Lu City."

Liu Dezhu took a deep breath and said: "Let’s skip the bar for now. I want to wish you an early happy new year. May you have a smooth and successful year, and may your family be healthy and well..."

Hu Xiaoniu looked at Liu Dezhu, confused: "…???"

After saying that, Liu Dezhu pushed the watch into Hu Xiaoniu’s hand and whispered: "Let’s continue the cooperation, but from now on, we’ll use gold bars for transactions."

To be honest, Liu Dezhu was regretting it deeply at this moment.

He wasn’t sure if the other party had seen the truth nearby.

Or if the other party was just bluffing.

But he didn’t dare to take the risk.

Otherwise, he didn’t dare to think about what would happen when he returned to prison in a day and a half...

...

Just as he finished dealing with Liu Dezhu, Qing Chen’s WeChat suddenly received a friend request. He opened it and saw that Li Tongyun had added him.

But in his memory, Li Tongyun didn’t have a phone before.

Qing Chen accepted the friend request, and Li Tongyun immediately sent a message: "Brother Qing Chen, Kunlun sent a warning to my mom, saying that the nine fugitive suspects might have already entered Lu City. In the past 24 hours, two time travelers have gone missing. You must be careful."

Suddenly, Qing Chen felt a sense of foreboding.

According to the news, those nine fugitive suspects are extremely ruthless and vicious. With such people in Lu City, many time travelers are likely to suffer.

He replied to Li Tongyun: "Can you still contact your mom?"

Li Tongyun replied: "I’m with my mom now, and she’s safe. I just wanted to ask if I can stay at Brother Qing Chen’s place tonight. We can sleep on the floor."

Qing Chen replied: "Of course, you can stay. I’ll make sure you’re comfortable."
