Chapter 247 I’ve already gone to the Jiang family to cancel the engagement!

When Jian Yue finished speaking, the scene was completely silent.

Jiang Xianyu asked: "Where's your cell phone?"

Jian Yue touched his body, then clicked on the screen of his mobile phone and quickly flipped through the call log. Sure enough, he found a missed call. This call was made by himself the night before he traveled through time to the original owner. The original owner did not answer the call. That's right, he had drunk the serum at that time and his life was hanging by a thread.

"Why?" Jian Yue said, "Why did he call me?"

Jiang Xianyu asked: "Have I called you before?"

This sentence is very pointed. If he had called Jian Yue before, it would prove that this person and Jian Yue are most likely in the same group. Even if not, they are definitely involved.

Jian Yue looked through the communication records, then shook his head and said, "No."

Then it seemed okay for the captain to contact him suddenly.

Xiao Pang came over and said, "The Wang family is a very powerful wealthy business family in City A. Maybe they are trying to trick you into getting on board and then use your life to threaten your father or the boss?"

Jian Yue choked up and said, "The first reason may make sense, but if you threaten the young master, do you think this is possible?"

Xiaopang was silent. Considering the boss's feelings towards Jian Yue at that time, he would not even blink if he heard it. However, he felt that it might not be the case now.

Jian Yue racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He didn't expect the original owner to be involved. After thinking about it carefully, Jian Yue said, "Could it be related to my father? He found a group of people to take me back to City A, but in fact, those people wanted to kill me on the way and didn't care whether I lived or died."

Jiang Xianyu said calmly: "Your father is famous for loving his son."

Jian Yue thought about it and it made sense. For the original owner to be so willful and capricious, his father must have played a big role!

Suddenly, Jian Yue suddenly thought of something. He quickly took the captain's phone and said, "If there is only my call record here, you can try to see if there is any from my father. The call record can be deleted, but mobile phone text messages usually have historical records that are automatically associated. If this phone has been in contact with certain people before, for example, if I enter the first few digits of my father's mobile phone number, the option will automatically pop up..."

As expected!!

Jian Yue tried to input the original owner's father's number. Although the call column did not pop up, the text message column did! They must have been in contact before!

Jiang Xianyu handed the phone to Xiaopang and said, "Take it to my laboratory and restore the communication records."

Xiaopang quickly said: "Yes!"

From this perspective, it is very likely that the mastermind behind this is his own father.

After all, the captain had only contacted his father, and he also contacted himself. The original owner's father also sent those people with ulterior motives to find him. This is really too possible!

The night grew darker.

Jiang Xianyu walked out of the house. The lights outside were bright. It was already late at night.

There were cries of pain coming from outside from time to time. Many wealthy businessmen on the ship were crying. Jiang Xianyu was about to go outside. Jian Yue walked beside him. Jiang Xianyu asked, "Are you still following me?"

Jian Yue said: "I want to go with you."

Jiang Xianyu asked: "Do you know where I'm going?"

"The captain and Boss Li's place." Jian Yue said, "They are both dead. You should go and take a look."

Jiang Xianyu looked at Jian Yue with a deeper gaze. He said, "Since you know, aren't you afraid?"

Jian Yue shrugged and said with a smile: "I've seen so many zombies. Seeing two dead people is much better than being chased by zombie mermaids. What's more, what do I have to be afraid of? I have you here."

Jiang Xianyu paused. Many people stayed around him because they were afraid, but Jian Yue said that they were not afraid because he was around.

This feeling was strange, but he didn't reject it at all.

When Jian Yue and Jiang Xianyu entered the box, the air in the room was very thin. In order to prevent the zombies from coming in, the windows were closed and the air was completely dispersed through ventilation ducts. Now the smell in the room has not dissipated.

The person in charge of guarding the two people came over and said, "Master, they both died suddenly of a heart attack."

Jiang Xianyu walked over and took a look.

The two people lying on the bed had blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, their eyes were wide open, and they were no longer breathing.

Jian Yue stood behind Jiang Xianyu and asked, "Why do you conclude that he died of a sudden heart attack?"

The guard replied, "Before they died, they covered their chests and said their hearts ached, and they vomited blood while they were talking. We didn't have time to save them at all."

Jian Yue leaned over to check. He rubbed a piece of blood from the corner of Boss Li's lips with his fingertips and observed the color of the blood. It was dark brown, definitely not the blood of a heart attack. As a forensic doctor, he subconsciously wanted to check if there were any other wounds on the body of the deceased.

Jiang Xianyu stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Jian Yue's wrist.

Jian Yue looked at him sideways in some surprise.

Jiang Xianyu's palms were broad and powerful, and these hands could easily break the neck of a zombie, but now he only held Jian Yue's arm. Jian Yue lowered his eyes and saw Jiang Xianyu's other hand swung out, and a ball of fire jumped directly into Boss Li's hair, burning him from the top of his head. Then he could see something crawling out from inside, a thumb-sized bug.

Jian Yue asked: "Is this insect poisonous?"

Jiang Xianyu said: "It is a kind of poisonous insect that can often be seen on the river."

Jian Yue was familiar with many things in this world, but some were unfamiliar to him, such as this kind of bug, which he had never seen before. He said, "They were both killed by this kind of bug. So this ship is in great danger."

Jiang Xianyu looked at the insects that were burned to death on the ground and said, "This kind of insect has a very harsh living environment. It will die if it leaves the water. These two people have been staying on the boat."

Jian Yue also reacted immediately. He said, "Either there is an undercover agent on the ship who wants to kill people to silence them; or the bug has been placed in the bodies of the two people a long time ago. If the truth is revealed, the bug will crawl out."

Jiang Xianyu glanced at the monitor that was emitting red light on the cabin not far away.

Jian Yue also noticed it, he smiled and said, "Can it be used?"

Jiang Xianyu said: "They are more afraid of trouble than we are when they do these things."

Jian Yue lamented that the better thing about the modern copy than the ancient copy is that it makes good use of surveillance. Jiang Xianyu sent someone to check the surveillance. During the two hours when they were away, from the time the two people fell ill to the time they left, no one had contact with the two people. In other words, they really fell ill suddenly.

After watching this video, Jian Yue was somewhat silent.

"That is to say, the person behind the scenes has long been prepared to kill and silence people." Jian Yue said, "And he also has the ability to remotely control these insects and zombies."

That was horrifying enough.

Jiang Xianyu showed no expression. The man even sneered and said, "If you are really that powerful, you won't let anyone be caught by me."

Jian Yue thought so too, and he flattered him, "Of course, young master is wise!"

Jiang Xianyu glanced at him and said, "Are you addicted to being a housekeeper?"

Jian Yue chuckled and said, "Anyway, if other people knew that I was the young master of the Wang family, they might not let me follow you because of what I did in the past. There's nothing wrong with being a housekeeper."

Jiang Xianyu did not comment.

Jian Yue became more excited. He held Jiang Xianyu's hand and said sincerely, "Master, all the things I did before were just a moment of confusion. Please don't bear it with me. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and be a good person and treat you well in the future..."

After listening to his nonsense, Jiang Xianyu finally said, "Butler Wang."

Jian Yue: “Hmm?”

Oh my God, is the young master moved by me?

Jiang Xianyu asked, "Did you wash your hands after touching Boss Li?"

Jian Yue held Jiang Xianyu's hand and paused.

Jiang Xianyu slowly pulled back his hand and said, "Remember to disinfect it."

Jian Yue: “…”

Damn! Damn Boss Li! He hates him!

Things on the boat were basically over, so Jian Yue went back to his room to rest. Jiang Xianyu naturally wouldn't sleep in the same room with him, the two of them slept separately.

When he was about to leave, Jian Yue called him, "Master."

Jiang Xianyu stopped walking, he wanted to hear what Jian Yue had to say. This man had always been full of clever ideas and smart, far from the willful and capricious character described in previous records. Moreover, he was very concerned about the serum matter, but since this matter was related to his father, it was normal for him to be concerned about it.

Jiang Xianyu thought he was going to ask him about his father again, but Jian Yue walked up to him, handed him the fever-reducing patch he had just left for a while, and whispered, "You always feel uncomfortable after using your supernatural powers. If you have a fever again at night, apply this and you will feel a little better."

Jiang Xianyu looked at him with some surprise.

Jian Yue just smiled at him, waved and said, "Good night."

He was about to leave, but someone grabbed his wrist the next second.

Jian Yue looked at Jiang Xianyu with some surprise. Jiang Xianyu's rough hands grasped his slender wrist, and the touches on his delicate skin gave him a slight shudder. This slight tremor seemed to reach Jian Yue's heartstrings. The man just lowered his eyes and looked at him, causing Jian Yue's heartbeat to become a little disordered.

Jiang Xianyu stuffed something cold into his hand: "Take it."

A token of love?

Jian Yue looked down expectantly and saw another full magazine, probably used to reload the silver pistol. It was used a little when he killed the crocodile last time.

Jiang Xianyu's voice was deep and magnetic: "If you don't change, come to me again."

Jian Yue: “…”

Then I thank you!

Who gives a bullet magazine as a token of love?!?

But it is a gift after all. Jian Yue comforted himself in his heart, thinking that the road ahead is long and arduous, but brave little king, don’t be afraid of difficulties!

He returned to the bed and lay down. The system panel popped up: "The main quest [Secrets on the Ship] has been completed. The current main quest progress is 30%."

The next second, the official notification began again.

The system's voice sounded mechanically: "There are 67 players left in the current instance, and 53 players have been eliminated. Now the list of eliminated players is announced. Wang Yang from Jiangshanchun Guild, Di Chun from Jinse Guild..."

Jian Yue lay quietly on the bed listening to the system broadcast. There was no one from the Moonlight Guild, which meant they were still safe.

The number of people is decreasing, but there is still no clear clue about the whereabouts of the serum.

Jian Yue's mind was in a mess. He thought about this and that, and various suspect lists flashed through his mind. The original owner's father was from City A. He was not only rich, but also held an important position. He also had connections with the captain and others. He should be the most suspicious. If it was really him, he, as his son, would definitely be implicated.

What about him and Xiaoyu...

Is it going to end too?

Jian Yue thought over and over again, and finally fell asleep in this chaotic thought. This sleep was not a good sleep, and when he woke up in a daze, the cruise ship had already docked.

Xiaopang came to the door and called him: "Butler Wang, we are about to dock."

Jian Yue woke up completely. He went to open the door, his hair still messy from sleeping. He asked in surprise, "Which shore?"

"City B." Xiaopang said, "The original destination of this cruise ship is City B. We are here to arrest people. There must be someone here who is in contact with them. We will dock soon."

Jian Yue quickly washed up and went to the front. As expected, there were already quite a few people here.

There were already quite a few people near the shore.

Jian Yue moved closer to Jiang Xianyu. Actually, as the commander of the base, Jiang Xianyu was not approachable by everyone. But Jian Yue was different. He dared to hug Jiang Xianyu's waist in public without being burned into a little fire man. With his courage, he would succeed in whatever he did, and others would naturally not stop him.

"Master~" Jian Yue was full of energy. He came over and asked, "Are we going to catch the people on the shore?"

Jiang Xianyu said: "The people on the shore are your father's men."

Jian Yue: "Oh, ah? What!?"

When the cruise ship docked and the captain and Chairman Li were arrested, the contact person should have already received the news. Moreover, with so many wealthy businessmen on the ship, it is impossible that no one had tipped off the person, so the people on the shore were all there to pick them up.

Jian Yue said somewhat frustratedly: "Doesn't that mean there is no way to find the person who actually connected with them?"

Jiang Xianyu said: "The goods are still on the ship."

Jian Yue understood that since the goods were on the ship, people who wanted the goods would still come, and he just had to wait for them to take the bait.

The cruise ship slowly approached the shore, and we found that there were indeed quite a lot of people on the shore. Many people in City B had received the news and came to greet us. Coincidentally, the survivor base in City B was very close to the river. City B was a mountainous area, and the terrain here was steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the number of people in the urban area was not as large as that in industrially developed areas such as City A and City G, there were still quite a few survivors here.

The person in charge of the survivor base in City B said enthusiastically, "We received a radio distress signal last night, saying that a cruise ship with hundreds of people was coming to our place for shelter. I didn't expect you to be here too."

Jiang Xianyu and his companions got off the boat. He took out his ID and handed it to the visitor, saying, "This is a cruise ship from City A. The owner of the ship was arrested for smuggling important items from City A. The ship will temporarily dock in your place until our people come to take over and handle it."

The person in charge of the survivor base in City B was a very young man. He was wearing a T-shirt and slippers. He looked very easygoing and didn't look like the person in charge of a large base at all. The man spoke cheerfully, but his words seemed to have a bit of dialect. He said, "No problem, no problem. It's our honor to have you all come from afar. Since you are all guests, please come in!"

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Xianyu and said with a smile: "I've heard that the son of the Jiang family is young and promising. I held you in my arms when you were a child. You've grown up so big now. You're such a handsome boy! Your parents and I are old friends. This time you come to our B city, just treat it as your own home!"

Jian Yue was watching from the side and was amazed.

Until he looked at her, the man in slippers came over and said, "You must be Xiao Wang, right? Your father called me and asked me to pick you up and take you home. Your father is so kind to you, don't worry, stay here with Uncle Ji for two days, and uncle will treat you well and then send someone to take you home!"

Jian Yue was a little overwhelmed by such enthusiastic treatment, but he still smiled and said, "Okay, okay, thank you Uncle Ji."

A group of people were preparing to take a bus to the survivor base in City B.

The things on the ship had been taken away overnight, and what was left were the fake crystal cores that had been made, but they were all left in the cabin. Many people were sent to guard it to create the illusion that all the crystal cores were there, and it was just a matter of who would fall for the trick.

As Jian Yue walked forward, he suddenly saw a familiar tall figure in front of several cars not far away.

As soon as that person turned around, Jian Yue recognized him. It was Gao Fei! !

Uncle Ji said, "These people are the management of our B City's superpowers. They all have very strong superpowers. I specially asked them to pick you up. Hurry up and get in the car!"

Jian Yue happened to be sitting in Gao Fei's car.

Uncle Ji also got in the car. When Jian Yue and Gao Fei looked at each other, they both obviously recognized each other. Putting aside their appearance, they had been together for more than ten years, so that familiar feeling could definitely not be wrong.

Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Ji got in the car, he introduced: "The one driving the car is my nephew Xiao Gao. Xiao Gao, this is your Uncle Wang's youngest son, Wang Yue."

Gao Fei smiled and said, "I see. No wonder he looks familiar to me. I feel a sense of familiarity."

Jian Yue complained in his heart, how could they not be close? They were all sworn brothers. At that time, after the scholar's younger brother insisted on pulling Jian Yue to swear brotherhood, Xiao Lizi also brought Gao Fei and the others along. They were all close friends who had known each other for so many years, and their relationship was very close. Even after the palace coup and a series of events, it had not changed at all.

They used to be the people he trusted the most, but now all they could do when they met was test each other. Jian Yue looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled gently.

Gao Fei didn't say anything after seeing his expression in the mirror.

The car arrived at the base.

The base in the mountains is built as solid as a rock, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and even the walls are made of the most natural marble. Ordinary zombies can't get in at all. Here, people rely on the mountains for food, and there is no shortage of supplies. The virus in the city first spread from people and water sources, and the survivor base in City B has hot springs in the mountains. The hot springs are controlled by special people, so the water source is not polluted. The people here can be said to have no worries about food and clothing.

After entering, the winding gable walls and fortresses give a sense of the richness of a mountain city.

Uncle Li said to Jiang Xianyu, "Xianyu, I roughly know what happened in City A this time. I also have some news that I want to talk to you about."

The two men went into the meeting room to talk.

This kind of occasion was a conversation between the heads of two bases. With Jian Yue's level, he definitely couldn't get in, so he just stood outside to enjoy the scenery. However, he was pulled away before he could even take in a moment.

Jian Yue glanced sideways and saw a man who seemed unfamiliar to him.

As soon as this person grabbed Jian Yue, he said, "I finally found you, young master. The master was almost going crazy looking for you. You ran away from home and there has been no news for a long time, which made the master very worried."

gentlemen?

I guess it’s referring to the original owner’s father.

Jian Yue asked: "Are you also the person sent by my father to pick me up?"

"Yes." The man nodded and said, "My last name is Liu, and I'm Mr.'s secretary. Don't you remember me?"

Jian Yue: “…”

How could he possibly remember it?

"Of course I remember!" Jian Yue said with a smile, "I was testing you. You were really scared by me!"

Secretary Liu: “…”

After a moment of silence, Secretary Liu said quickly, "The gentleman asked me to call him via video as soon as I find you. Please wait a moment."

It was time to video chat with the original owner's father again. Jian Yue had complicated feelings about this man who was the most suspicious so far and was suspected to be the mastermind behind all this, until the call was answered.

After a while, the face of the original owner's father appeared in the video.

Father Wang's hair looked a little grayer, like an overworked old father. He said to Jian Yue, "Son, it really is you. I finally found you!"

Jian Yue asked: "Why do you look a little haggard?"

Wang's father said, "I was very worried because I couldn't find any trace of you. But now I'm glad I finally found you. I had asked someone to pick you up at the base in City G and bring you back by boat. I didn't expect the boat to have an accident. Are you okay now?"

Cruise ship?

Jian Yue became interested. So the original owner's father contacted the captain in order to rescue himself?

"Those people you found want to kill me." Jian Yue decided to play along and see if he could get something else out of them. He said, "If I didn't run away by myself, I wouldn't be alive to call you now."

Mr. Wang, the original owner's father, was stunned: "What!? How dare they do this to you? My son, you have suffered! It must be because they knew that their father was going to go bankrupt, so they dared to do this to you!"

Jian Yue was also dumbfounded: "What?"

Mr. Wang looked a little guilty. He said, "Some of the warehouses where Dad stored supplies were suddenly breached by zombies. Now that the assets have been damaged, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for much longer. But don't worry, son. Dad has found a good way out for you so that you won't have to worry about food and drink in your next life!"

Jian Yue couldn't help but be curious: "What is it?"

He was just about to say, "Dad, don't worry about it." He had already secured Xiaoyu's hand. With this engagement, he didn't have to worry about anything at the Jiang family. But Wang's father on the other end of the communicator said proudly, "I've checked. Although there's no hope for a marriage between our family and the Jiang family, I've already arranged another excellent marriage for you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied! I went to the Jiang family yesterday to help you break off the engagement. You're not bad looking, so you'll meet your ideal husband."

Jian Yue: “……?!”
