Chapter 171 The Fate of the Forsaken
Chapter 171 The Fate of the Forsaken
Abandoned tribe.
The abandoned tribe, once the masters, now slumber in the darkness of the shadowy world, cycling between slumber and resurrection.
He wore a black trench coat, as long as the long night.
Ye Jingchen bought Lao Tang a plane ticket to sit next to him, to his right.
Ye Jingchen had a window seat, while Lao Tang had an aisle seat, an economy class seat.
Saving when necessary and spending when appropriate—this has always been Ye Jingchen's style.
Old Tang hasn't said a word since he boarded the plane and sat down.
Actually, Old Tang probably has a lot to say. He came out of the golden egg and wandered all the way from the Three Gorges to America. He must have had many ups and downs along the way.
He didn't say anything, and Ye Jingchen didn't bother to ask.
Old Tang seemed unable to bear the silence, even though it wasn't exactly quiet in economy class.
"Brother, if I go to Beiping, what specific work will I be doing? It's not really about hatching eggs, is it?" Old Tang asked Ye Jingchen tentatively, scratching his head as he did so.
He knew he couldn't escape Ye Jingchen's clutches, yet he still loved the excessive freedom of America.
In this relatively constrained situation, Lao Tang felt quite like he was living under someone else's roof.
Old Tang's plane ticket was bought for him by Ye Jingchen; he had no money on him.
The money in the old Tang card is in the form of "Beautiful Country Knife" (a type of currency), and it hasn't been converted to Chinese currency at the bank yet, so it can't be used directly.
When Ye Jingchen saw Old Tang asking this question, he didn't beat around the bush. "It really is about hatching eggs, nothing else. You have a talent for blacksmithing. If you are diligent, I can set up a blacksmith's workshop for you so that you can give full play to your talent."
Old Tang didn't take the egg-hatching matter to heart, thinking it was just Ye Jingchen asking him to help with blacksmithing or something.
Old Tang was a little worried that his actions might not meet Ye Jingchen's expectations. "Brother, I haven't had any systematic training in blacksmithing or anything like that. Over the years, I've just been doing some light work on the Hunter Network. I hope you'll be understanding!"
Hearing Old Tang's words, Ye Jingchen smiled, patted Old Tang's shoulder, and offered words of comfort:
"You don't need to worry about that. When it comes to blacksmithing, if you claim to be second, there are very few in the world who would dare to claim to be first!"
Old Tang became even more nervous after hearing Ye Jingchen's words.
The more others trust and rely on you, the heavier the burden you feel, fearing that you will let them down.
A person's psychological activities are often like this.
Old Tang gripped the hem of his clothes tightly and fell silent.
My mind wandered from the Big Bang I imagined while surfing the internet to a tiny vegetable growing and pushing aside a small stone...
On the same plane, in business class.
Shudeya came out of the restroom, smoothed out the wrinkles on the hem of her clothes, and sat down next to Chen Motong.
She glanced at the faces of the other passengers on the plane before lowering her voice.
Jiu Deya: "I didn't see Ye Jingchen or that man named Xiao Tang here as I walked along."
Upon hearing this, Chen Motong frowned. "That shouldn't be the case! I clearly found out through Norma that Ye Jingchen was indeed on this plane!"
Could it be that he changed his flight at the last minute?
Shudeya shook her head and said, "I don't know, probably not. Anyway, I've never changed my flight before. I've always thought changing flights is a real hassle."
Chen Motong: "Oh well, let's not worry about that. We know where Ye Jingchen lives. We'll just go to his house and stake him out."
Aircraft No. 749, taking off...
Two hours later, they arrived in Beiping.
Chen Motong, carrying a bag of ink, disembarked from the plane shoulder to shoulder with Jiu Deya.
Chen Motong pointed to the two people in front of her, "Hey! Senior Aki, look!"
Those two people look to be about the same height!
Chen Motong walked over quickly and patted the man whose back looked like Ye Jingchen!
The man turned around, glanced at Chen Motong, and was momentarily at a loss for words upon seeing the beautiful woman with long, dark red hair. He asked, "Um... what can I do for you, beautiful lady?"
"It's alright, it's alright, I mistook you for someone else, sorry!" Chen Motong smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and retreated to Shudeya's side.
Chen Motong: "This is so embarrassing! I mistook you for someone else!!"
Shudeya thought it was normal. She waved her hand and reassured Chen Motong, "Hey, it's normal, don't worry about it."
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the Three Gorges Reservoir?"
Ye Jingchen's voice came from behind.
Jiu Deya and Chen Motong turned around and looked over together.
The newcomers turned out to be Ye Jingchen and Old Tang.
“Oh,” Shudeya nodded to Ye Jingchen, “Commissioner Ye, because of the academy’s regulations, you are the captain of the temporary team, and the two of us must follow you and keep in touch at all times.”
The wine was served in an official, bureaucratic tone.
Ye Jingchen didn't waste any more words with Jiu Deyaji, and glanced at Chen Motong, "Come on."
After saying that, Ye Jingchen grabbed Lao Tang and headed towards the exit.
Old Tang scratched his head and smiled at Jiu Deya and Chen Motong, "Hello, ladies!"
Chen Motong noticed that Aki was still standing there blankly, so she tugged at her arm. "Let's go, Aki-senpai. What are you still standing here for?"
Shudeya pointed to her nose. "Huh? I can go too? But Commissioner Ye didn't invite me!"
At heart, Aki Shuto is still a Japanese person, and she takes social etiquette and manners very seriously. Ye Jingchen's attitude towards her actually made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
“But Ye Jingchen didn’t say you couldn’t go!” Chen Motong took Jiu Deyaqi’s arm, seemingly unconcerned. “Senior Aki, let’s go! To Ye Jingchen’s house…”
The Three Gorges Reservoir, on top of a tree.
A woman wearing a black bodysuit.
At that moment, a heavy sniper rifle was mounted on the treetop.
With the 8x scope, the water surface is constantly locked in view.
The sniper rifle magazine was full of golden, pointed bullets with Philosopher's Stones attached.
Mai Shude raised her hand and pressed the Bluetooth earpiece. "No, potato chips, what did you say?"
Potato Chips: "Ye Jingchen has flown back to Beiping."
Jiu Dema: "Did Ye Jingchen and the others fly back to Beiping?"
Potato chips: "Yes."
Mai Shude: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Potato Chips: "Norma protected their personal information very well. I only saw the news through my paper flight ticket."
Mai Shude: "Great! You're awesome!"
Potato Chips: "It's not entirely my fault, after all, things are unpredictable."
Mai Shude: "Then let me ask you, what does it mean that I've been standing here in this cold wind for so long?"
potato chips:"……"
Potato chips: "You did your best."
Jiu Demai: "You just wait, I think you want to eat a whip!"
Potato chips: "Beep beep beep..."
Su Enxi hung up the call; she was currently selecting a vehicle.
The black Maybach she gave to Ye Jingchen last time was blown to pieces; the other Maybach in her garage was also black.
Su Enxi scratched her hair anxiously, "No, is it out of stock? Why is it so hard to find a black Maybach today?"
