Jiang Xue suddenly spoke, “It’s time to transmigrate, Xiaochen, is there anything I can do to help you in the Inner World?”
The meaning concealed within this sentence implied that she actually knew Qing Chen was a time traveler.
But this was not important, because he had indeed revealed too many clues the night he saved those people.
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “It’s better for Aunt Jiang Xue to not get involved in this kind of thing. I could probably figure out a solution by the time we return.”
Standing at the side, Li Tongyun blinked her eyes. “What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand.”
Qing Chen glanced at her and felt a little funny. So far, it was still this little girl who was the best at hiding. Aside from himself, no one else seemed to know she was also a time traveler.
At the same time in Meng County, just north of Luo City, Lu Yuan led his team to cross the rugged mountain road to Dazhuang Village. All seven off-road cars were full of mud splatters.
In this village, a total of three different people called the police to make a report about five strangers with steel-like arms and legs entering the mountains, all wearing camping backpacks.
The villagers did not say that these five were the wanted criminals, only that they had behaved suspiciously.
Lu Yuan asked the village chief to call the three people who made the reports and then told his subordinates to take each one to a different room to be questioned separately while he went to interrogate the first person alone.
His face was full of wrinkles and his skin was dark from tanning. Just from the first sight, you would know he was an out-and-out farmer.
Lu Yuan asked, “When did you see them?”
“Inside a crude brick house,” the old man said with erratic eyes. “It was three or four in the afternoon, I called the police as soon as I saw them.”
Lu Yuan immediately felt something wrong. “What kind of clothes were they wearing?”
“The kind of outdoor sportswear you city folks usually wear, what’s it called… that’s right, windbreaker!” answered the old man.
“Was there any woman?” Lu Yuan’s expression turned grave.
The old man was taken aback, “I don’t think there was…”
“What were the colors of their clothes, answer me within 10 seconds!”
The old man stammered and said he couldn’t remember.
“How much money did you receive?” Lu Yuan stood up in anger. “Do you know how many people could be harmed because of your false report?”
There was no need to ask any further questions; a real witness would definitely not act like this.
If Lu Yuan couldn’t even make this judgment, he wouldn’t be able to remain in Kun Lun.
After he turned around and walked out of the room, a Kun Lun member asked him, “How’s it going on for you, team leader Lu? There’s something fishy on my side. His wife said he suddenly brought home a wad of brand new cash yesterday.”
“Luring the tiger away from the mountain.” Lu Yuan stood outside the door and contemplated silently. But what was the purpose of leading them away from their base? There were still six Kun Lun members on duty in the city. Even if he weren’t there, once the fugitives made a move, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to escape unscathed.
Wrong!
Lu Yuan abruptly raised his head. It was Laojun Mountain!
They exerted all kinds of tricks to mislead him to this remote place, just to prevent him from reaching Laojun Mountain in time!
It would take 4 hours to return to the city from this place, and nearly 3 hours to get to Laojun Mountain from the city.
All of their arrangements were made just to obtain these seven hours.
Therefore, those thugs would complete their plan within seven hours tonight.
Deep in the night.
They were going to race in the dark.
The countdown reset.
Return countdown: 48:00:00.

When the darkness dissipated once again, Qing Chen was wearing a cat-face mask, standing inside a dim corridor.
In the confinement room, Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao had ‘just’ finished giving Liu Dezhu the genetic injection.
The two people by his side startled Liu Dezhu, who had also transmigrated over. He spat out a gold bar from his mouth and said, “Can these good fellows please release me first? The injection is already done!”
Qing Chen slowly walked into the confinement room and asked him with a cold voice, “Why didn’t you reply to my message?”
Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao looked at each other and stepped aside. They didn’t know what had happened to them in the Outer World.
Lying on the bed, Liu Dezhu cautiously answered, “Boss, it’s not that I don’t want to reply to you. The thing is, I was always together with my classmates and had no chance to check the communication device.”
In fact, Liu Dezhu was lying. He could have replied to Qing Chen when he went to the toilet, but he was having too much fun playing with his classmates on the road. After reaching their destination, everyone gathered together and had a bonfire party, so he completely forgot about the communication device.
Qing Chen didn’t know about all of this, so he instructed, “After you return this time, don’t go out during the seven days National Day holiday, understand?”
Liu Dezhu was stunned for a second. “Boss, I’m already at Laojun Mountain, will it be okay if I hide at home after I return from my trip?”
This time, it was Qing Chen’s turn to be stunned.
At this moment, all 47 students had already arrived at Laojun Mountain.
Not only that, they had even played games organized by Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen.
Until one second before the countdown reached zero, everyone was still playing Passing the Flower to the Beat of the Drum1 by the bonfire in the courtyard of the inn. When the drumbeat stopped, the person who received the flower would have to perform.
In the Outer World, the drum was still beating.
Qing Chen sank into a considerable silence. “You already went to Laojun Mountain? Which B&B do you guys stay in?”
Liu Dezhu said, “I think it’s called Yunshang Inn, it seems to be quite famous in Laojun Mountain. There are 47 students in our group, the transfer students from Hai City paid the three-day rent fee for everyone.”
Qing Chen questioned, “Did you guys set this schedule a long time ago? Why have you never mentioned it to me.”
Liu Dezhu saw that the boss seemed to be angry and hurriedly explained, “It hasn’t been planned for long, those Hai City transfer students suddenly brought up the idea. Also, the original schedule was to leave on the morning of October 1st, but because the school gave us an early holiday, we also set out ahead of time.”
While saying all this, Liu Dezhu muttered in his heart. It looked like the boss was not his classmate, otherwise, why would he not know about the trip to Laojun Mountain?
By now, Qing Chen’s expression had completely calmed down beneath the mask.
Yunshang Inn – Jiang Xue had mentioned it before.
Jiang Xue originally wanted to rent a room there, but the inn was quite large and only accepted group bookings during the National Day holiday period.
The most important thing was that Yunshang Inn was right next to the place they rented.
Qing Chen looked at Liu Dezhu and thought, turned out all those loud cheers, laughter, and drumbeats were made by them…
Amazing!
Dozens of people were mingled into an ensemble of noises; at a distance of more than 50 meters, even Qing Chen wasn’t able to recognize the voices he was familiar with.
It seemed like the fugitives had come for Liu Dezhu.
On the surface, there wasn’t any other time traveler who had more value than Liu Dezhu in Laojun Mountain.

But what Qing Chen didn’t understand was how did they find out in advance about Liu Dezhu and others coming to Laojun Mountain?
These people had obviously made preparations before coming; they even knew that Liu Dezhu’s group was staying at Yunshang Inn.
“There’s a traitor,” Qing Chen calmly said, “Someone told the thugs about your itinerary. Not only do they know which place you guys are staying at, the traitor even divulged the fact that you guys would arrive one day early.”
Liu Dezhu stared at the cat-face mask in front of him. “Boss, what are you saying?”
