Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang were both handcuffed and, along with the frightened woman, were taken back to the police station for investigation.
After dealing with the key personnel, the policewoman's gaze unconsciously swept towards the shadows at the alley entrance, where she saw Qin Chuan standing quietly.
"Sir, you too..."
She was just about to ask Qin Chuan to go back with her to cooperate with the investigation and give a statement.
However, before she could finish speaking, she was astonished to see that the man in Hanfu, with his extraordinary demeanor, appeared right before her eyes like ink blending into shadow, instantly becoming transparent and then disappearing completely without leaving a trace.
"It's better to avoid trouble if you're an unregistered resident."
The thought flashed through Qin Chuan's mind, and he had already left the alley.
The next moment, his figure appeared like a ghost, ignoring all physical barriers and security checks, directly inside the core area of the command center of the aircraft carrier Juxia, which was anchored in a distant sea.
At this moment, Dukao was frowning as he discussed something with his daughter, Du Qiangwei, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat heavy.
Qin Chuan's sudden appearance did not trigger any alarms, but it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The guards instinctively raised their guns, but Dukao immediately waved them off.
Dukao was initially startled, but when he recognized Qin Chuan, his face was instantly filled with immense joy: "Mr. Qin Chuan! It's you! You're finally back!"
He strode forward, his emotions running high:
"You've returned just in time! I just received a warning message from Di Lena, the chief god of the Lieyang Civilization. A vanguard fleet of a spacefaring civilization called Taotie is approaching the Chiwu Star System. Their goal is very likely to invade Earth! With Earth's current level of technology, we have almost no chance of winning against an interstellar invasion of this scale."
His tone was heavy, but a spark of hope ignited in his eyes as he looked at Qin Chuan:
"But you have returned! You are the supreme deity of our Earth! Your return will surely change everything!"
However, Qin Chuan's attention was not entirely focused on the urgent military intelligence brought by Dukao.
His gaze passed over Dukao and landed on Du Qiangwei behind him.
Du Qiangwei has long, wine-red hair, a tall and straight figure, and a delicate face that exudes a cold and aloof aura; she is a typical ice queen.
But what attracted Qin Chuan's attention was not her appearance, but the extremely special genetic fluctuations he could clearly sense from her that resonated subtly with the restless spacetime power around him—spacetime genes.
"Spacetime genes...perfect."
Qin Chuan's heart stirred.
If we can utilize the characteristics of this gene, we might be able to temporarily calm and stabilize the spacetime turbulence that is constantly causing jumps around him.
So he interrupted Du Kao's narration about the Taotie military intelligence and pointed to Du Qiangwei: "Old Du, let me borrow her for a while."
Dukao was stunned and didn't react.
Du Qiangwei frowned instantly, a hint of displeasure and wariness flashing in her icy blue eyes as she coldly looked at Qin Chuan, the strange man who had suddenly appeared and uttered such arrogant words.
Duka quickly came to his senses. Although he didn't understand why Qin Chuan was suddenly interested in roses, he had absolute trust in Qin Chuan.
He immediately realized that Qin Chuan had just returned and would definitely need someone to help him understand the changes and situations on modern Earth, and Rose was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
He nodded without hesitation, even with a hint of earnestness:
"Of course! It is an honor for Rose to assist Mr. Qin! Rose, from this moment on, you will temporarily relinquish your original position and fully cooperate with Mr. Qin Chuan, serving as his special assistant and fulfilling all his needs!"
Upon hearing this, Du Qiangwei's pretty face immediately turned cold.
She was raised as a top-notch soldier from a young age, and her desire was to prove herself on the battlefield, not to be some kind of "office assistant" to a man of unknown origin who seemed quite arrogant!
But seeing the unquestionable, even eagerly expectant look in her father's eyes, and remembering a soldier's duty to obey orders, she could only forcefully suppress her reluctance and squeeze out two words through gritted teeth:
"...Yes, sir."
Her gaze toward Qin Chuan grew increasingly cold and hostile, clearly categorizing this "Earth God" as a "nepotism hire" and a "troublemaker."
Qin Chuan simply accepted her unfriendly gaze calmly, his attention already focused on how to use the spacetime genes within her body to stabilize his own state.
The crisis of the Great Gorge and the calamity of Earth seem to have taken a completely different path because of his return.
Du Qiangwei's "assistant" career began in this extremely delicate and reluctant atmosphere.
Chapter 14 Forced to Work, Sweet Couple
Dukao acted swiftly, leveraging his powerful connections and special channels with the Chinese government to quickly obtain a flawless set of legal identity documents for Qin Chuan.
When the brand-new ID card was handed to Qin Chuan, Du Qiangwei secretly curled her lips. She thought that this "Earth God" whom her father revered like a deity and who might even be related to ancient history would be an "old relic" who needed to learn modern life from scratch.
However, Qin Chuan adapted much faster than she had imagined.
He not only quickly changed into a modern casual outfit that suited Rose's aesthetic, but also showed great familiarity with modern products such as smartphones, mobile payments, and internet slang, even more naturally than many locals.
After resolving his identity issue, the first thing Qin Chuan did was to casually stroll around the city of Juxia, which is adjacent to the Juxia base.
"With a formidable enemy at hand, and the Taotie fleet potentially invading at any moment, how could he possibly have the leisure to go shopping?"
Rose was filled with confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction, but military orders were absolute, so she could only suppress her temper and act as both bodyguard and tour guide with a blank expression.
She naturally had no idea that the world Qin Chuan was born into was a modern society that was extremely similar to the one before her.
The bustling traffic, skyscrapers, flashing neon lights, and noisy crowds in front of him were not unfamiliar to him at all; on the contrary, they evoked a sense of distant nostalgia.
He was indeed interested in rediscovering that lively, everyday atmosphere.
Moreover, Qin Chuan wasn't really just wandering around aimlessly.
His billions of particles are constantly engaged in the vast project of absorbing cosmic energy and refining themselves, while his main consciousness devotes a portion of its attention to continuously and meticulously analyzing the unique fluctuations and structure of the time-space genes within Du Qiangwei's body.
Taking her out for a walk was more to avoid the awkwardness of the two of them staring at each other in a confined space.
While the awkward situation was avoided, new minor troubles followed.
Qin Chuan's appearance was already exceptionally outstanding, and his temperament was extraordinary. When he walked on the bustling commercial street, he would turn heads almost every time.
Modern women are mostly outgoing and proactive. Along the way, countless women mustered up the courage to approach him, blushing as they tried to add him on WeChat.
Qin Chuan was quite patient, politely but firmly declining each time.
On the contrary, Rose, who was following along, was extremely annoyed by the constant harassment. She was an impatient person who hated trouble.
Finally, as yet another stylishly dressed girl approached, Rose seemed to have made up her mind.
She quickened her pace, moving slightly closer to Qin Chuan, her arm almost touching his, while scanning the surroundings with a cold gaze, creating an aura of 'this man is taken, strangers stay away'.
The effect is immediate.
Most of those eager eyes shrank back sheepishly after meeting Rose's almost murderous gaze.
Qin Chuan noticed her actions, glanced at her sideways, a faint smile seemingly appearing at the corner of his mouth, but said nothing more.
After wandering aimlessly for a long time, Rose's patience finally ran out.
She stopped and said in a firm tone, "Mr. Qin Chuan, if you continue to waste your time idly like this, I seriously doubt whether you can really handle the impending crisis. If there's nothing else important, I think I need to return to the Juxia."
Qin Chuan seemed oblivious to the dissatisfaction in her words, and pointed to a stylishly decorated restaurant in front of them: "I'm actually hungry. Come with me for a meal."
After saying that, without waiting for Rose's reply, he strode over.
Rose gritted her teeth in anger, but remembering her father's orders, she could only take a deep breath, suppress the urge to turn around and leave, and followed him inside.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, Rose saw that Qin Chuan did not find a seat, but was standing not far away, talking to a beautiful girl with striking white hair.
"here we go again!"
Rose was furious, thinking it was another one of those strangers trying to pick her up, who had even followed her into the restaurant!
Without a second thought, she strode forward, once again adopting the air of an "official wife," her tone icy as she prepared to make the "uncooperative" white-haired girl back down.
However, before she could speak, the white-haired girl timidly said to Qin Chuan:
"Hello sir, welcome! How many people are in your party? Do you have a reservation?"
Rose then noticed the girl's conspicuous uniform name tag and the ordering tablet in her hand, and instantly realized that she had made a big blunder, her cheeks burning slightly.
"That bastard! Why didn't he say so sooner!"
She was both ashamed and angry, and glared fiercely at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan seemed to only then notice her arrival, and smiled gently at the white-haired girl: "Gentlemen, since you didn't make a reservation, could you please arrange a quiet spot for us?"
"Okay, please follow me."
The white-haired girl quickly led the way.
After they sat down, while the white-haired girl went to get the menu, Rose silently rebuked Qin Chuan with a murderous glare, only to hear him explain in a low voice:
"Stop glaring. That girl's name is Rui Mengmeng. Like you, she has the genes of a super soldier dormant within her."
Rose was taken aback, and the anger on her face instantly turned into astonishment and inquiry.
She looked at the busy white-haired girl again, trying to sense her carefully, but found nothing because the genes had not been activated.
"So you brought me here to see her?"
Rose's tone softened considerably, even carrying a hint of curiosity.
Qin Chuan picked up the menu and casually flipped through it, his tone indifferent: "The main purpose is to eat. It's been a long time since I've had Earth food. Meeting her is just a side trip."
Rose was speechless. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, and the slight improvement she had just felt vanished instantly.
Soon, Ruimengmeng returned with the menu and carefully introduced the dishes to them.
After ordering, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said somewhat shyly:
"Excuse me, sir/madam, our restaurant is currently running a couples-themed event. If you'd like to leave a sweet photo of yourselves on our photo wall, you can enjoy a 30% discount on your current bill. Would you two like to participate?"
Rose froze instantly.
Agree? They're not even a couple!
Rejection? But the way she looked when she came in just now, what else could it be but a couple?
She was suddenly caught in a dilemma, her cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze darting around, unsure of what to do.
Finally, Qin Chuan nodded naturally: "Okay. Thank you."
Rui Mengmeng happily took out the Polaroid camera provided by the restaurant.
Rose had no choice but to stand stiffly beside Qin Chuan, her body as rigid as a puppet.
Rui Mengmeng instructed, "That pretty young lady, could you move a little closer to the gentleman? Smile, okay? Yes, like that—"
With a click, the photo slowly emerged.
