“Tell me, when did you become a Time Traveler?” Jiang Xue roared.

Li Tongyun: “Mumble mumble mumble…”

“Stop playing dumb!” Jiang Xue laid Li Tongyun across her lap and started spanking her.

This gentle woman, in the Daybreak villa, had always been like a big sister to everyone, taking care of everyone.

With her around, others didn't have to buy groceries or cook.

Every afternoon, while everyone was Cultivating, she would prepare fruit for everyone.

When distributing bananas to Liu Dezhu and Nangeng Chen, the Daybreak villa was like a chimpanzee protection and breeding base.

What a peculiar analogy…

But this gentle big sister was surprisingly strict when facing Li Tongyun.

Usually, Nangeng Chen and Liu Dezhu would often hear Jiang Xue's roars from upstairs while tutoring Li Tongyun on her homework. At those times, Jiang Xue was like a lioness, and no one dared to provoke her.

Especially now that Jiang Xue controlled Daybreak's finances, the Guardians' Union's funds flow in the Inner World, and intelligence gathering, were all handled by her.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the Daybreak housekeeper.

Who would have nothing better to do than offend the housekeeper…

Li Tongyun never expected that while she was secretly waiting for Qing Chen to be humiliated, after waiting for a whole day, it was she who ended up humiliated.

She speculated, using conspiracy theories, that those Kunlun people were most likely reinforcements called by Qing Chen!

Too much!

At this moment, after Jiang Xue finished beating Li Tongyun, she started checking Li Tongyun's phone, her voice even higher: “You are Little Rich Woman? Qing Chen!!”

“Huh?” Qing Chen was stunned.

Jiang Xue asked: “You knew she was a Time Traveler all along, right? Otherwise, how did she get into the group, and you even hid it from me!”

Qing Chen: “Mumble mumble mumble…”

Jiang Xue didn't make things difficult for Qing Chen and turned to Li Tongyun: “You're amazing, you tricked me into calling you my sister for months!”

Li Tongyun was already desperate at this point. The more fun she had, the more thoroughly she died…

Shinguji Maki was shocked by this scene. Such a gentle aunt suddenly turned into this.

She looked helplessly at Yang Yang: “What are they saying?”

Yang Yang smiled and said: “Your sister Li Tongyun, is done for.”

Lu Yuan, outside the door, listening to the roars inside, hesitated for a long time and said to Qing Chen: “Should I come back another day?”

“No, no,” Qing Chen closed the door, pulling Lu Yuan out: “If you leave now, I'll also suffer… No, I want to specifically understand what's going on with this school, where it's built? I see the enrollment date is next week, which is the next time we return. I haven't heard of Kunlun building a school before.”

The reporting location was Kunlun Bookstore in Zheng City.

You know, there are now more than 100,000 Time Travelers nationwide. Even if only 60% are students, it would take a particularly large campus to accommodate them.

However, Qing Chen hadn't heard that any university in Zheng City had freed up space for Kunlun.

Moreover, reporting at a small bookstore was inherently strange.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said: “This doesn't need to be kept secret. The school isn't built in the bustling city, but in an extremely secluded place, a kind of paradise. You know, this is equivalent to gathering half of the country's Time Travelers together. If someone finds the place and wipes them out, it would be extremely dangerous.”

“Understood,” Qing Chen nodded: “Why did Kunlun suddenly do this?”

Lu Yuan looked at him: “Before, Kunlun didn't do anything, simply because they hadn't finished investigating the domestic situation. Now that we and the Nine Provinces have investigated almost everything, basically no Time Travelers have been missed, so we have the conditions to build this school.”

“What's the meaning of building this school?” Qing Chen was curious.

“Your kind of Time Traveler is of course good, but there are also those who aren't so honest after getting power,” Lu Yuan sighed: “Ever since Time Travelers appeared, crime rates across the country have increased a lot. You also know what the Inner World is like, its values are completely different from ours. Children going there are easily influenced and become extremely contemptuous of order. Just yesterday, there was a particularly cruel underage… Forget it, you understand. After they return to the Outer World, they feel that school is useless, causing trouble every day, even injuring their parents.”

Lu Yuan: “Moreover, some children, once they go there, have no ability to protect themselves and are easily tricked into selling their organs for money. Sigh… Kunlun also wants to teach them some survival skills in the Inner World, or form an organization specifically to help Time Travelers, so that they are not so easily harmed.”

Qing Chen understood. When a child's worldview hasn't yet formed, going to the free and chaotic Inner World, it's easy to go astray.

Moreover, there are many scammers and criminals there, and children are indeed very dangerous, Zhang Mengqian being an example.

What Kunlun is doing now is indeed necessary.

In any era, responsible organizations will do such things.

The main purpose of Kunlun establishing this school is not to restrict, but to protect.

“Is there an acceptance letter for me?” Qing Chen asked.

“Yes,” Lu Yuan said: “From elementary school to university, this school covers all grades before entering society. Zheng Boss said you can go or not, but it's best if the others from Daybreak go.”

“Why?” Qing Chen asked.

Lu Yuan calmly said: “Daybreak is now a thorn in the side of many people, not just the Shendai Consortium wants Daybreak, I'm afraid that the North America ‘future’ organization you dealt with before will also want to get rid of you. In that school, your members who haven't grown up yet will be much safer, and Jiang Xue can also go there to teach painting. That's one reason.”

Lu Yuan: “Zheng Boss asked me to tell you something. If you want to find companions, it's better to look for them in that school than to develop in the Inner World. That's the second reason.”

The two reasons given by Kunlun are to provide temporary shelter for Daybreak and to provide convenience for Qing Chen. The cooperative attitude is very good.

Daybreak having such an ally in China will be much safer.

In any case, Kunlun and Nine Provinces are still existences that Daybreak needs to look up to.

At least in the Outer World, this is the case.

Qing Chen smiled: “Please tell Zheng Boss that I will consider it, but my identity is sensitive now, so I will go anonymously.”

“Understood,” Lu Yuan turned to leave.

At this time, Qing Chen suddenly called out to him: “By the way, there's some information I want to tell Zheng Boss. I saw foreigners… white people… in City 22. I suspect that the Shendai Consortium may have started preparing to accept West Coast forces and provide them with an advance base.”

Lu Yuan was stunned: “Thank you, this is very important. We previously had related clues saying that Shendai was building an advance base on an overseas island, but it hasn't been confirmed. Now it seems to be true!”

After saying that, he hurried away.

Qing Chen listened to the ghostly howling coming from the room and shouted behind Lu Yuan: “Don't go yet, let's chat for a while!”

“No chatting!” Lu Yuan was also somewhat amused. Before, he wanted to chat with Qing Chen, but he couldn't find him, and now this guy wanted to use him as an excuse to avoid the trouble. No way!

Qing Chen watched him leave and was about to return to the room when he heard Xiao Tongyun shout from inside: “Ahhhhh Qing Chen, save me!”

Qing Chen stood at the door for a while, pondering for a long time, then called Hu Xiaoniu: “Have you eaten?”

Hu Xiaoniu on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time: “Boss, it's only 3 pm, it's not time for dinner yet… Do you have something to do?”

Qing Chen said: “Xiaoniu, I need you to activate the safe house plan. From today onwards, Hu Family Group will help us establish safe houses globally.”

Hu Xiaoniu: “Understood.”

Qing Chen: “Is everything going smoothly on your side?”

Hu Xiaoniu thought for a moment: “It's going pretty smoothly, but I'm learning a bit slowly, and injuries during training affect my progress.”

“Yes, be careful, pay attention to safety.”

At this time, Jiang Xue's voice came from the room: “Will you still call me sister?”

Then came Li Tongyun's cries…

Hu Xiaoniu was stunned: “Boss, what happened?”

“Oh, nothing, Xiao Tongyun crashed…”

Qing Chen sighed, the more enjoyable it was to wear a disguise, the more desperate it was when the disguise was exposed…

In the Haicheng diving training hall, Hu Xiaoniu, having completed two Trials of Life and Death challenges, had just rented the entire training hall, open only to him.

Zhang Tianzhen sat by the blue pool, Cultivating. Hu Xiaoniu wiped his hair and wondered: “Boss has never asked me to use the Hu family's resources to help Daybreak before. What's going on today? Is Daybreak particularly dangerous? Or should we go back?”

However, Zhang Tianzhen didn't even open his eyes, but said confidently: “Daybreak dangerous? Boss went to Osaka and killed a bunch of people, and they couldn't do anything to him. It should be others who think Daybreak is dangerous. Based on Boss's personality, if Daybreak were dangerous, he wouldn't call you, because he wouldn't want to implicate you. Now that he's asking you to use the Hu family's resources, it's because he considers you his own, that's all. Outsiders need to be polite, but not your own people.”

“That's right,” Hu Xiaoniu nodded: “68 safe houses, my dad's side has already prepared them. There are two sets in each public test city, and 30 more overseas. My dad prepared them very secretly, using nominee accounts.”

“Your father personally preparing this kind of thing is certainly foolproof. By the way, Chen Sui is having a party on the Bund tonight and wants to invite us. Are you going?” Zhang Tianzhen asked.

“No,” Hu Xiaoniu shook his head: “Why would he invite us?”

“He must know how powerful Daybreak is and is worried that Boss will retaliate for the poaching incident,” Zhang Tianzhen said indifferently: “Now that Daybreak is famous, everyone wants to get close to us. We receive dozens of invitations a day. They can't find you, so they can only find me. I was even added to a Shanghai celebrity group yesterday.”

Zhang Tianzhen and Hu Xiaoniu are both well-known rich second-generation kids in Haicheng, with wide social circles.

Of course, Hu Xiaoniu is not useless. During this time, he has obtained a lot of business secrets from the Inner World through Big Rich Man, and Hu Dacheng now has the appearance of a technological rising star, starting to develop the chip industry in the Outer World.

I don't know where Big Rich Man got the complete set of data, it's too comprehensive.

Many people have tried this in the Inner World, but this is a top secret of various Conglomerates, and even outdated technology is simply unavailable.

But Big Rich Man got it, even a whole industrial chain…

Now Hu Family Group is also somewhat different from the past.

Now with the Daybreak identity, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen are even more brilliant.

Hu Xiaoniu said: “Don't bother with them. The first life lesson I learned from Boss is to not be entangled by insignificant trifles.”

“Boss is just naturally cold,” Zhang Tianzhen laughed, seeming to recall the scene of being rejected by Qing Chen: “By the way, when are we going to eat? I'm hungry.”

“Jump 10 more times,” Hu Xiaoniu said.

Zhang Tianzhen muttered: “Crazy.”

At night, Xiao Tongyun huddled in her bed, crying sadly.

The most crucial point is that she could foresee that Jiang Xue would also control her in the Inner World, and then she wouldn't be as free as she is now.

Of course, she is only 11 years old this year and is a child who needs family discipline.

Xiao Tongyun was desperate and thought about running away from home… No, she wasn't strong enough yet. She had to wait until she reached B-Class.

The little girl, like Qing Chen, was precocious, so she knew very well when to do what. Even if she ran away from home, she had to be fully prepared.

She was lost in thought, but suddenly felt Shinguji Maki snuggle into her bed, into her arms, as if trying to comfort her.

Somehow, Li Tongyun suddenly felt that she wasn't so sad anymore.

In a villa in Zheng City, all the windows were tightly covered with black velvet curtains.

Qing Yuan sat on the sofa, with an open laptop in his lap.

“Qing Chen, Daybreak, Joker, good at disguise…” Qing Yuan muttered softly.

He reviewed the beginning of the Zheng City incident and reviewed all the information related to Qing Chen.

Qing Yuan suddenly laughed: “If that's the case, then the cause and effect can be explained. The person who was looking for me back then was indeed you.”

But at this moment, the doorbell rang.

Qing Yuan frowned, opened his phone, and checked the outdoor surveillance.

There are surveillance cameras all around this villa, only in this way can he feel a sense of security.

On the phone screen, Lu Yuan put down a document at the door and turned to leave.

Qing Yuan opened the door, and the document was his university acceptance letter!

He is 20 years old this year, the age to be in his second year of university.

At this time, a middle-aged man came down from the upstairs of the villa: “Xiaoyuan, who came?”

Qing Yuan said: “Dad, it's the acceptance letter from Kunlun. Also, have you seen the report about Qing Chen? If I want to be a Shadow, he might be the biggest obstacle.”

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said: “This person is now valued by Shadow, we can't touch him.”

“The Inner World is Shadow's territory, then we'll kill him in the Outer World.”
