Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 530 Leaving
"He just left in a taxi."

Yi Wenna tugged at Ye Qing's sleeve and whispered.

"Why... never mind?" Ye Qing wanted to ask Yi Wenna why she hadn't reminded her.

But after thinking about it, I realized that saying this was pointless.

It would be a miracle if she could even remind herself of that.

Seeing Yi Wenna's feigned silly smile, Ye Qing sighed and boarded the bus with her.

Ten minutes later, at the bus stop in front of my house.

Yi Wenna was overjoyed that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

She hummed a little tune as she got off the car, waved goodbye to Ye Qing as she left, and then walked briskly into the residential building.

After all the familiar faces around her left, Ye Qing's expression turned extremely heavy at a visible speed.

........................

Supermarket staff break room.

After changing her clothes, Ye Qing walked straight towards Zhu Lan's office.

She lied to Ai Liang and Yi Wenna.

Actually, what was delivered to the warehouse today was just some fruit that had been sold out in supermarkets, so it didn't require many people.

Ye Qing avoided the supermarket employees along the way, entered Zhu Lan's office from the inside, and turned on the electronic sign at the door to do not disturb mode.

Zhu Lan sometimes takes a nap in the office; this is common knowledge among the employees, and no one doubts it.

Ye Qing opened the filing cabinet and stepped into the secret room.

"Sister Lan, something terrible has happened," Ye Qing said with a grave expression.

"About Peng Yuan?" Zhu Lan asked.

Ye Qing nodded: "Sha Na... Yi Wenna, Yi Wenna's father, the school teacher... everyone who knows Peng Yuan's true identity has had their memories altered."

Zhu Lan stared at Ye Qing for a while, then picked up a few sheets of paper and handed them to Ye Qing.

"I've also found out quite a bit about Peng Yuan's background. Take a look."

Ye Qing took the file without hesitation and began to look through it.

Ye Qing initially only intended to skim through it, but when she saw the notes written on it, her reading speed unconsciously slowed down.

Five minutes passed.

Ye Qing flipped through those few sheets of paper that she could easily memorize at a glance, and looked at them over and over again more than a dozen times.

It was as if they were comparing something to something, or perhaps they were unwilling to accept reality and were fantasizing that they had just seen it wrong.

Just as Ye Qing was about to watch it for the seventeenth time, Zhu Lan finally spoke up: "You didn't see wrong. Peng Yuan, Chuck Battier, and the president of Aoxi Company where Chuck Battier works, they are all people from Haixin Society."

The day after Peng Yuan's incident, Chuck Battier went to Aoxi Company.

Just yesterday, all three of them vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

Ye Qing paused for a moment before slowly saying, "The Countermeasures Bureau?"

Ye Qing could only associate the Bureau of Countermeasures with someone who could alter so many people's memories overnight and dare to target the Haixin Society.

"Xiao Qing, you know in your heart that it doesn't matter who altered your memories of Peng Yuan anymore."

Zhu Lan stood up, walked to Ye Qing, and gently stroked her head: "Peng Yuan and the others are from the Haixin Society. Since they have appeared in the Asia Alliance, they must have new leads."

The disappearance of Peng Yuan and the others will inevitably attract the attention of the Haixin Society. We... should go.

Should we go?
Ye Qing lowered her head and remained silent.

Memories of years of wandering and displacement were rekindled.

Yes, for them, who are fugitives, it is normal to move to a different place every few years.

Ye Qing has lived in Qianhua City for nearly six years, which is the city where she and Zhu Lan have spent the most time.

She grew up so much that she almost forgot about her past.

"You and I may not have heard of Chuck Battier, but some of us know the name very well."

A couple of days ago I contacted an old friend who was a member of the Haixin Society's field operations team before he was transferred to the lab.

Chuck Battier was his former instructor and one of the strongest Unseens below the Fusion Warriors.

Why would Hai Xin send someone of this caliber of combat power to Qianhua City secretly, just for a vacation?

Zhu Lan moved her hand from Ye Qing's head to Ye Qing's shoulder: "Although we don't know why he suddenly disappeared, perhaps the other party is deliberately creating a smokescreen to lure us in, or perhaps he really encountered some trouble."

But no matter which one it is, as long as he's there, none of us can continue living in this city.

We must hurry and pack our things to leave this city before they spot us; it's better for everyone that way.

Ye Qing remained silent.

Zhu Lan stopped trying to persuade her and gently patted Ye Qing's shoulder: "It will take us some time to erase the traces. Use this time to think things through, at least... say goodbye to your friends."

Zhu Lan didn't give Ye Qing a choice; in other words, they had no choice at all.

Ye Qing put down the A4 paper and slowly walked out of the secret room.

Well, aside from the dullness, her anxiety was actually relieved a little.

Perhaps they had vaguely guessed this situation before they came, and now that it's been confirmed, they no longer need to scare themselves.

It's like a patient who knows they have advanced cancer finally receiving confirmation from their doctor.

Ye Qing arrived at her work station and stared blankly at the counter.

She didn't want to think about leaving Chika right now; she just wanted to clear her mind and numb herself so she wouldn't think about anything.

Escaping is shameful, but it's useful, and besides, it's only temporary.

Ye Qing's unusual behavior caught the attention of other staff members.

This vibrant young woman always wears a smile and is always cheerful and carefree.

During the time she was there, the work atmosphere in the entire supermarket was much more relaxed.

But today, the girl was staring blankly at the wall, looking preoccupied.

While no customers were coming in, a colleague from the clothing section next door quietly walked up to Ye Qing.

Being caught chatting outside your work area during work hours will result in a deduction of your salary.

So she looked around for a while and asked in a low voice, "Little Yezi, what's wrong?"

Ye Qing lowered her arm and looked to her side: "Sister Wang... it's nothing, just some things that happened in my life."

Sister Wang thought for a moment, then stayed: "Is it about money? Or is it because you've broken up with your boyfriend?"

After spending so much time together, Ye Qing's background was no longer a secret among the supermarket's long-time employees.

In Sister Wang's opinion, the only things that could trouble Ye Qing in life were money and relationships.

Based on Ye Qing's usual behavior, the possibility of an emotional problem is greater than that of a financial problem.

After all, Ye Qing had never been so worried about money before!
Ye Qing forced a smile: "No, it's just that I've run into some problems in my life and might need to move..."

move place?

Sister Wang pressed further, "Is your rental agreement expiring and you haven't found a new place yet?"

I overslept; there should be more to come in a little while.
