Night’s Nomenclature
Chapter 585: Shadows Gift
“Boss, how long are you going to sleep?” Zhang Mengqian curiously asked.
Beside the bonfire, Qing Chen, after escaping danger, fell into a deep sleep, sleeping for 12 hours. Yang Yang stayed by his side for those 12 hours.
Yang Yang glanced at Qing Chen: “For months, this is probably the first time he’s been able to get a good night’s sleep.”
“Is Boss that hard-working?” Zhang Mengqian asked curiously.
“Yeah,” Yang Yang said, “People like your Boss are always racing against time, meticulously planning their time, never stopping for a moment. The fact that he can sleep soundly shows that he has truly let go of some things after capturing Shendai Yunhe.”
“Where are we going next?” Zhang Mengqian asked curiously.
Yang Yang smiled and said, “Let’s wait until your Boss wakes up.”
At this time, Shendai Jing Cheng, covered in cold sweat, carried a bundle of firewood and placed it beside the bonfire.
His wrists had been broken by Shendai Yunhe, yet he had to act as a captive alongside Shendai Yunhe. The broken bones ached excruciatingly when he gathered firewood, so he could only use his elbows to carry the wood.
Shendai Yunhe, that good-for-nothing, lay on the ground, unable to do anything. He also had to do hard labor under Yang Yang’s orders.
It was too tragic…
One of the ten directors of the Shendai Consortium, now reduced to this state; if he had a fragile mind, he would have committed suicide.
After Shendai Jing Cheng finished all this, he found a place to sit, his expression numb.
“Give me some food,” Shendai Jing Cheng said, looking at the bonfire.
Yang Yang glanced at him: “Go hungry.”
Shendai Jing Cheng’s expression paused: “Do you know what you are doing? I haven’t eaten for two days.”
Yang Yang: “A captive shouldn’t have so many demands.”
Shendai Jing Cheng knew that Qing Chen was a member of the Qing Clan Secret Intelligence Agency.
He calmly said: “I heard you called the Qing Family. Someone from the Qing Family will soon come to take Shendai Yunhe and me away, and give us corresponding captive preferential treatment, confining us in a suburban villa, waiting for our family head to propose an exchange condition. This won’t change because of your willingness or unwillingness, so do what you should do. Venting your anger is fine, but you can’t starve me to death.”
Yang Yang’s eyes lit up: “Have you seen Nicolas Cage’s Lord of War? You’re acting just like him!”
Shendai Jing Cheng was silent for a moment: “?”
He suddenly felt that this girl seemed a little abnormal? Did she not hear what he said?
A Shadow Gate opened in the nearby woods. Shadow, wearing a baseball cap and black mask, walked out, smiling and greeting Yang Yang: “You must be Miss Yang Yang!”
Yang Yang restrained her exuberant personality and said honestly, “Greetings, Shadow Master.”
She was thinking about a problem: Qing Chen was great in every way, but he had too many elders.
She wondered whether she would spend more time with Knight during the Spring Festival or return to the Qing Family.
Shadow was holding a small tea canister. He handed it to Yang Yang: “This is Jingshan Tea. Drink about three grams a day. This canister will clear your mind and improve your eyesight. Consider it my gift.”
Shendai Jing Cheng was stunned. He had also met this Qing Family Shadow at the negotiating table, but the Shadow now was completely different from the cold image he had before, appearing exceptionally gentle.
This is the killer who uses Metahumans to grow tea! Who has ever seen him so gentle?!
Moreover, Shendai had also investigated Jingshan Tea. According to their estimates, it would take about two B-Class Metahumans to grow such a small canister of tea. Now, Shadow just gave it away.
Shendai Jing Cheng suddenly felt that he might have misjudged this girl’s identity?
What kind of girl would need Shadow to personally give a gift?
Yang Yang took the small tea canister: “This is too valuable!”
Shadow shook his head and smiled: “Your cooperation is so tacit; the eyesight of the two partners can’t be different. Also, I want to thank you for helping Qing Chen this time.”
“Thank you, Shadow Master,” Yang Yang, this exuberant girl who loved driving, was exceptionally well-behaved in front of her elders.
At this time, with Shadow’s arrival, Qing Chen opened his eyes.
He slowly stood up and asked: “You won’t blame me for acting alone, will you?”
Shadow said with a smile: “Why would I? Where you go is your freedom. The Qing Family is not your cage.”
At this time, two more Qing Family spies walked out from the Shadow Gate. As soon as they saw Qing Chen, they quickly walked over, looking like they wanted to say something but were hesitant because Shadow was present.
Shadow glanced at the two: “Aren’t you two talking privately about wanting to take a photo with him? Go ahead. I’ll take the picture for you.”
The two high-ranking spies stood there, not daring to move. What if Shadow was being sarcastic?
Shadow impatiently took out his phone: “Originally, taking away someone like Shendai Jing Cheng wouldn’t require the two of you to come personally. Now that you two volunteered, I can’t misunderstand your intentions? Go on, get familiar with your future Boss.”
After saying this, the two spies happily came to Qing Chen’s side, sandwiching him in the middle, one making a scissor hand gesture, and smiling honestly.
This scene completely bewildered Qing Chen.
Shendai Jing Cheng swore that he had never seen spies from the Secret Spy Agency smile so honestly.
In everyone’s memory, spies were cold, cruel, and ruthless!
After taking the picture, the two spies dragged Shendai Jing Cheng away without saying a word.
Shendai Jing Cheng was dragged on the ground, the pain in his two broken hands causing him to howl: “I demand political treatment! You can’t treat me like this! Does the Qing Family want to start an all-out war with the Federation?”
“Wait!” Shadow raised his hand to stop the spies, then looked at Qing Chen: “How do you plan to deal with him?”
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: “I originally wanted to use Shendai Yunhe to avenge Qing Mu, but now I think Shendai Jing Cheng might be more suitable. Let’s throw him into a pigsty and let him stay there for the rest of his life, and don’t let the Shendai Consortium exchange him.”
Shendai Jing Cheng went crazy when he heard this: “You can’t do this to me!”
Shadow smiled: “As you wish.”
With that, the two satisfied spies dragged the desperate Shendai Jing Cheng towards the Shadow Gate.
The completely crippled Shendai Yunhe on the ground coughed and laughed: “Old Jing Cheng, Qing Chen’s position within the Qing Family is probably terrifyingly high. You miscalculated. Hahaha, you’re worse off than me. I’m about to die, but you can’t even die.”
Qing Chen looked at him: “How did you know I was going to kill you?”
Shendai Yunhe gasped: “You won’t leave someone like me alive, right? After so many encounters, we both know that as long as we are both alive, we will always be a worry, and anyone with even a glimmer of hope will try to turn the tables.”
Qing Chen was silent for a few seconds. Shendai Yunhe was right. He originally wanted to use Shendai Yunhe to humiliate the Shendai Consortium, but he felt that leaving such a person alive might lead to the death of Qing Family members guarding him in the future.
Shendai Jing Cheng was different. That Ten Attendants member didn’t have that kind of fighting spirit. Perhaps after a month of imprisonment, he would go crazy.
After Shendai Jing Cheng was taken away, Shadow asked: “What are your plans next? The organization you set up in City 22 is quite interesting. Are you going back to continue developing it?”
Qing Chen shook his head: “I’m not needed there anymore. What do you think of this organization?”
His subtext was that since Shadow had discovered what he was doing, he must have been keenly aware that this would affect the entire Federation’s power structure.
As a vested interest, Shadow should not allow the Guardians’ Union to develop like this.
However, Shadow just smiled and said: “I don’t have many years left to live. What does it have to do with me? Don’t worry, I only discovered the anomaly over there because I was looking for you. Others probably aren’t as free as I am; you still have some time to develop. Before the old men find out, quickly build up your self-preservation ability…but it’s difficult.”
The “difficult” that Shadow mentioned meant that once the bigwigs of various Conglomerates discovered what the Guardians’ Union was doing, they would definitely wipe them out. At that time, the Guardians’ Union might be directly destroyed.
Shadow looked at Qing Chen: “You haven’t answered me yet. Where are you planning to go next? Do you know that the entire Secret Spy Agency is waiting for you to return? There are countless people there, just like those two spies just now, waiting for you to return there and hold power.”
The fact that Qing Chen was able to break out of the A02 Base was already shocking enough, especially since he brought out more than 900 intelligence personnel.
Now, Qing Chen had audaciously captured Shendai Yunhe and Shendai Jing Cheng.
One is a 13-year-veteran A-Class expert of the Shendai Consortium, and the other is one of the Ten Attendants.
These two days, Qing Chen hadn’t communicated with the outside world and didn’t know how much of a sensation this had caused throughout the Federation.
That’s one of the Ten Attendants, a figure at the top of the Federation’s power pyramid, just captured like that.
When this news came out, the entire Secret Spy Agency was in an uproar.
Who wouldn’t want a Boss who is like a human cheat?
At this time, Shadow changed the subject: “However, your Daybreak Boss identity has been completely exposed this time.”
“Bad,” Qing Chen suddenly raised his head.
“Hmm? Is there any danger?” Shadow asked strangely.
“No, no,” Qing Chen said.
There wasn’t any immediate danger. After all, he was now a B-Class, and he didn’t particularly need those layers of disguises anymore. Even if many people knew who he was, they couldn’t do anything to him.
What he was thinking about wasn’t whether there was danger, but how to Face[-] the people he had deceived.
Qing Chen had been playing two roles for a long time. He had even praised “Qing Chen” in the group as Daybreak Boss!
This was going to be a social death!
More importantly, Huan Yu should also know his real identity. He wondered if the other party had recovered their strength and was preparing to retaliate again?
