“Our actions along the way have been based on one assumption:

All the actions taken by the mastermind behind this are aimed at preventing us from revealing the truth and eliminating Perlman to cover up their own evidence...

But if he could always find Pearlman, then the pursuit, robbery, escape, and interception along the way were for other purposes? "

Liu calmly analyzed the situation, and Qianyu half-jokingly said, "It's impossible that the target is the section chief. After all, who would want to target Xu Shou unless they were worried about their own life?"

However, it was these words that woke Zhe up from his dream, and he suddenly remembered what happened in the cave before.

"Wait a minute! Speaking of which, something happened in the outer ring hollow area!"

After briefly telling everyone about the knife's loss of control in the cave, everyone fell into deeper doubts.

"No way? That problematic Chief Sheriff's target...is the Section Chief? But why?"

Asaba Yuma was puzzled, but Liu felt regretful.

"No matter why, they've already taken Miyabi away, right in front of me! I'm so...stupid!! I allowed this to happen!! No, I have to report this to the Minister immediately!"

"Liu, and everyone, calm down first. What we need to do now is to find out where Ya is? And where is Bringer?"

Zhe began to comfort Liu, but Zhu Yuan was too busy with the emergency to take care of anything else.

"The prison van that's escorting Ya is from the Public Security Bureau. I have a way to track it. As for Chief Bullinger..."

"He's at the spot where the Vision Industrial case was exposed. It's right outside the dead end. Does anyone remember it?"

Qingyi's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. Zhu Yuan was a little surprised to see her walk in like this.

"Senior Qingyi, how did you know?"

"Because his special lecture today is being held right there. There was a preview on the news just now, saying the lecture will go ahead as scheduled, and many people who have experienced the Envision Industrial case and enthusiastic citizens will also be in attendance."

Qing Yi once again showed her signature move, and Zhe immediately made a decision upon seeing it.

"Everyone, let's split up! Look for Bringer and Miyabi at the same time!"

"Alright! I'll go find Miyabi! Please guide us out of the cave immediately!"

Liu's tone was very excited, and it was obvious that she was upset because of her worry about Ya. Seeing this, Youzhen immediately tried to persuade her.

"No, we are not suitable to chase the section chief."

"Why not? Aren't you worried about Miyabi? If anything happens to her, I'll definitely—!"

"Calm down, Miss Yuecheng, you're losing your composure. We're closer to Bringer right now, and Perlman is still in our hands."

"Sister Liu... I, I think Yuzhen is right this time... It's a rare time when what he said makes sense. Let's just listen to him for once, okay?"

Cangjiao gently tapped his index fingers in front of him, lowered his head and tried to persuade him weakly, although his words were a bit of a blow to Yuma.

"Liu, don't worry. I will accompany Zhu Yuan to Ya's place. We will bring her back. I promise you."

Under the persuasion of Zhe and Zhu Yuan, Liu finally agreed to such division of labor, and Qingyi nodded upon seeing this.

"Hmm~ So it seems the division of labor has been decided? Then I will continue to stay here to protect the video store and relieve you all of your worries."

(Senior Qing Yi!! My Gatekeeper!!!)

As Qing Yi finished speaking, a few deep breaths were heard from the other end of the communicator, followed by the crisp sound of hands slapping cheeks.

"Sorry everyone, I lost my composure a bit just now. The division of labor is very reasonable. Let's get started immediately! Zhe, I'll leave Section Chief Miyabi to you..."

As long as you can bring her back safely, I will forgive you for the fact that the section chief gave you artificial respiration and for the unclear things he did with those girls!

Liu thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

As the communication was cut off, Zhe and Zhu Yuan came out of the back door to the parking lot behind the video store, where a Sheriff's patrol car was parked.

"I'm investigating the exact location of the escort vehicle. We'll set off once we have some information."

Zhu Yuan stopped talking after she finished speaking, and Zhe immediately stepped forward and took one of her hands, then slowly moved his face closer to her in the latter's surprised gaze.

"Eh? Zhe...?"

"Zhu Yuan, I'm so sorry. I never thought of betraying your trust, nor did I intentionally hide anything from you.

I promise, I will tell you everything after this is over..."

Zhe followed what Ya had taught him before, staring into Zhu Yuan's eyes and putting his face very close to hers. The latter's face became noticeably redder and her little mouth subconsciously opened slightly.

Then she seemed to be at a loss because of shyness, but as if she thought of something, her expression became a little confused again.

It was as if something that had been suppressed deep in my heart was temporarily released because of what Zhe said, but I soon felt relieved again.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuan pursed her lips, looked into Zhe's eyes, and spoke slowly.

"I understand. Regarding Senior Qingyi's matter... I, I will think about it carefully..."

"what?"

Tsing Yi? Why are you suddenly mentioning Tsing Yi?

Zhe couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and Zhu Yuan in front of him also looked a little confused when he saw this.

"What's wrong? Senior Qingyi told me something before..."

Chapter 287 My actress Jianya has the appearance of an emperor!

No? What did Qingyi tell you? Why did she tell you so early? Although I did plan to tell Zhu Yuan about Qingyi later.

Zhe thought this in his heart and felt something was wrong. Zhu Yuan in front of him seemed to realize that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Senior Qingyi also said that you were thinking about how to tell me this, so I didn't mention it..."

"So, when was it?"

"It was when I came to your store that day."

So it was that time, but Qingyi didn’t tell me anything. That’s a bit too unreliable!

"Zhu Yuan, I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean to hide this at all, especially from you!"

"Eh...? Then why did you keep it a secret...?"

"Like I said before, I don't want to make you upset! You are a perfect girl, and I'm afraid that if the truth is revealed, we will become alienated, or even make you leave me..."

Zhe's words came from the heart, and Zhu Yuan's body couldn't help but tremble, but in the end he couldn't say anything else.

She advocates rules, laws and order, but she is not a dogmatist who only knows how to follow the rules. But how could she accept such a thing all of a sudden?

Silence lasted for a moment, until the communicator rang. Flustered, she seemed to have finally caught a break and fled to the side to check the message.

"Zhe, let's talk about those things later. We already know the location of the escort vehicles. We have to set off quickly and catch up with them. We can use the Sheriff's Department's car to take the fast lane!

But there are checkpoints everywhere now, so it might not be possible to take ordinary citizens like the store manager..."

"It doesn't matter, I have a solution!"

"I understand. Let's set off now."

After the conversation, the two got in the car and set off, and then Zhe activated his talent.

Complete target: Kelin

Get reward: Let me disappear in the dark corner (S)

Introduction: After activating this talent, your presence can be reduced, and the specific degree is proportional to the highest attribute value.

(Some might ask, why is Kelin's reward only now being given? It's simply the author's carelessness that made me forget. I'm truly sorry, and this won't happen again! 😊)

Some time later, near Fourteenth Street, a police car sped down the highway with sirens blaring...

But Zhu Yuan soon discovered that the prison van's route information showed that the destination of the escort vehicle was also Bullinger's speech venue.

Because at this time, a large number of people are heading to the speech venue and the traffic is very congested. In order to arrive as quickly as possible, the two can only choose to go through the cave.

Then the two of them started driving a train in the hole. Don't get me wrong, it was a real train. Zhu Yuan was surprised that Zhe could do this.

"By the way, Zhu Yuan, aren't you very familiar with Miyabi? Do you know why the enemy wants to provoke the Xingjian family?"

On the way to the destination, Zhe suddenly asked this, and Zhu Yuan shook her head. She only knew about the deeds of the Xingjian family.

However, there is a way to ask about related matters.

"I can contact the Hoshimi family, contact Miyabi's main family."

A moment later, in order to verify Zhu Yuan's idea, Zhe found a safe area, stopped the train, and established a communication channel with the outside world...

However, when Zhu Yuan called, the person who answered the phone was the housekeeper of the Xingjian family.

The other party said that the owner is still in the banquet hall participating in the election-related matters and has not called back yet.

"Tsk, this is troublesome. It's the most tense period for the election right now, and the Hoshimi family can't quickly contact Miyabi's father..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yuan looked worried, trying to guess the enemy's purpose and understand what they wanted to get from Ya.

The only solution Zhu Yuan could think of now was to ask Ya's father, but her regular social channels could only reach their family at most, and she had no access to the high-class banquets in Thorne District.

But hearing about a high-class banquet, doesn't that trigger the key words? It's time to show off the legendary rope maker's connections!

"If you want to contact someone with connections in high society, then I might have a way!"

Shortly after Zhe finished speaking, a familiar person connected to the communication channel...

"Zhe, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to hear from you on a day like this."

"Leikan! Thank you for answering my call! I need your help with something very important! Has Victoria Housekeeping ever served the Hoshimi family?"

After Lekaan greeted him, Zhe immediately told him the purpose of his visit. Although this was impolite, the situation was urgent after all.

After learning that Lecan had indeed negotiated with the Hoshimi family, Zhu Yuan quickly informed Lecan of the necessary information.

"I already know the whole story, and it seems like a reasonable and righteous act. However... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you the relevant information.

Even if you and Zhe are friends, this violates our terms of service. Confidentiality is the most basic obligation."

"I understand that, but—!"

Before Zhu Yuan could finish his words, Lekaan spoke again.

"Although I cannot meet your request, I can ask someone more suitable to do this. Please wait. Lina? Please look after the hall for me..."

Lekaan briefly left the communication line, and a few minutes later... a new communication line was transferred in.

"Ahem, hello? Lekaan said you have something urgent to talk to me about?"

"That voice... could it be you...?!"

Zhu Yuan's tone was a little surprised, and the person opposite also recognized her identity.

"Oh? Miss Zhu Yuan? It's been a long time since we last met. Thank you for your care earlier."

"Long time no see, Uncle Soichiro! Sorry to bother you, this urgent matter is about Miyabi! We suspect someone is up to her, and she might be in danger now!"

Zhu Yuan's tone was very serious, but Soichiro Hoshimi couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He didn't stop until he realized that something was wrong.

"Oh? So you're not kidding? Ahem, go on."

"Uncle Soichiro, aren't you worried about Miyabi's safety?"

“Of course I’m worried, but I’m more worried about those who want to harm her.

I'm not bragging, I'm very strong, very strong, strong in the literal sense, even stronger than the literal sense, even stronger than that! Even...!"

Soichiro Hoshimi's tone was exactly like "My daughter has the temperament of an emperor."

"Oh, sorry, I'm bragging again. Please forgive my old habit. Anyway, I've proven countless times that anyone who sets their sights on her doesn't end well. In comparison..."

[Leaking information about the Hoshimi family]...the danger of this matter might be even greater."

Chapter 288: Loss of consciousness

"What does this... mean?"

"Ah, don't worry. I have no doubt about your intentions, Miss Zhu Yuan, but the matter of the Xingjian family is a... special case. It is the rule of our clan not to let it be leaked easily.

Especially since there's a guest here whom I don't know... Would you mind proving your relationship with my daughter?"

Soichiro Hoshimi turned the topic to Zhe, who was not surprised and spoke immediately.

"Miya's sword is a family heirloom of the Hoshimi family. It has been used by successive family heads to fight demons and monsters. Only members of the main branch of the Hoshimi family can touch it!

And when you entertain people, Mr. Soichiro, you secretly replace alcohol with juice!"
