Chapter 157 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou glanced down at his phone. "Great, you're the one..."
He called Jiang Xiali directly.
Jiang Xiali is currently fast asleep in bed, clearly enjoying his sleep. Normally, no one would call him at this time.
Even his parents wouldn't disturb his sleep unless it was something extremely important. No matter how much of a jerk Lin Wanyi was, she wouldn't bother him.
So who is it?
Jiang Xiali was in a terrible mood after being woken up by his phone ringing incessantly. He angrily picked up his phone and looked at it, "Huh?"
It's Lin Leyou!
How could it be him?
Why is he calling me so late... no, so early? What's he doing? Does Jiang Xiayue and her group dare to send people to attack him in Happiness Residential Area?
He answered the phone with a puzzled look, "Hello?"
Lin Leyou: "Ali, I've been attacked. Can you come pick me up? I'm temporarily hiding using my talent, but it'll only take two hours at most! Can you get to Happy Amusement Park as soon as possible?"
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether he should ask about the attack first or why he was at Happy Amusement Park.
He stared at his phone for a moment before he realized what was happening.
"Okay, I'll go right now. We can talk on the way."
Jiang Xiali hurriedly got up, washed up and dressed, and also contacted Lin Wanyi. There was no other way; the strongest person he could contact right now was Lin Wanyi.
They inevitably owed him a favor, but there was nothing they could do about it. Lin Leyou was too important to them, and the people who attacked him were definitely sent by his uncle's family.
Since they've already launched the attack, they must have a way of getting what they want from Lin Leyou's corpse. In that case, the assassin's strength is definitely not weak.
If we don't ask Lin Wanyi to come over, we might really not be able to handle it, and we might even suffer the consequences ourselves.
Fortunately, when I contacted Lin Wanyi, he happened to have time, and he was very good-natured and didn't ask any questions or say anything sarcastic.
Instead, he readily agreed, and coincidentally, he happened to be on his way out of the city.
Clearly, Lin Wanyi had just finished a task and was returning from outside. Taking a slight detour to run some errands wouldn't delay his own business.
After hanging up with Lin Wanyi, Jiang Xia hurriedly got into her car and continued talking to Lin Leyou on the phone.
"Tell me what the person who came to kill you looks like. Maybe I'll recognize them! If not, that's okay too. I can ask around for you."
After Lin Leyou gave a rough description of the person's appearance, Jiang Xiali fell silent for a moment. If he was not mistaken, it was his uncle himself!
I never expected him to go in person!
However, thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyone would be tempted by this prop, since many people want to use it! If the assassin sent there were to take it for granted and then betray Jiang Changdong, there would be nothing the other side could do about it.
Therefore, only he himself can retrieve this item, as he is the strongest fighter in the entire family.
Lin Leyou: "So? Do you know him?"
Jiang Xiali sneered, "Of course I know him, it must be my uncle Jiang Changdong, no doubt about it."
Lin Leyou was startled. "Jiang Changdong? Your uncle... is Jiang Xiayue's father?!"
Jiang Xiali said, "Yes, I didn't expect him to come looking for you in person. By the way, how are you doing now? Are you alright? Are you injured?"
"And another thing, you said you used your talent, what talent? You actually have a talent? That you could hold him off for so long? Two hours!"
He knew that if it were him, he would have to defend himself while trying to escape, and then urgently call for help. It was impossible for him to easily hold out for two hours.
But judging from Lin Leyou's relatively relaxed tone, it's clear that this talent is actually quite easy to stop Jiang Changdong.
"No, you have talent! I didn't even know you had talent! What kind of talent do you have? A spatial type talent?"
Lin Leyou thought about it and decided not to hide it, since he knew he couldn't keep his talent a secret for long anyway.
"As for the talent, it's 'ghost wall,' which can last for up to two hours after the skill is released."
Without even thinking, Jiang Xiali said, "Then you'd better run!"
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment before realizing what Jiang Xiali meant. "You think my ghost wall can trap him?"
Jiang Xiali was also taken aback for a moment, "Oh right, so... you locked yourself in a ghost wall?"
Lin Leyou: "Sigh... is there any other way? I can't outrun them if I try to run, so I can only hide. And of course, I can go out anytime."
"He can't get in without my permission, which is why I'm safe and sound. If I tried to trap him with some kind of magic wall, he could probably find a way out in seconds, and then I'd be dead!"
Jiang Xiali nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, that's right. Locking yourself in is the best use of you. Wait, I've contacted Lin Wanyi. We'll go over together in a bit. It'll be quick, less than two hours."
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Jiang Xia felt something was off. "Something's still not right. What were you doing at that amusement park so late at night? Did you go out to pick up a mission in the middle of the night?"
Lin Leyou did not deny it, "Yes."
Jiang Xia sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Do you really have to be like this? It can't be this bad, can it? The game just ended and you can't even get some rest at home? Is it really necessary to be so stressed?"
Lin Leyou: "No, a friend contacted me and said I was here, so I came to keep him company. It wasn't my own choice to come; I was also really sleepy."
However, he still explained to Jiang Xiali that getting along with Xue Rui was quite comfortable. After all, cultivating the trust of a top player definitely requires investing equal time and trust.
Absolutely no pretense or hypocrisy.
Jiangxia Li: "Oh, I see. Then there's nothing more to say."
Then Jiang Xiali thought of something else.
"That doesn't make sense either. You were summoned by him. Could it be that Jiang Changdong bribed your friend to trick you into going there so he could ambush you?"
Lin Leyou thought of Xue Rui. If he were a resident of the Endless World, then there was a very small possibility, but Xue Rui, or rather, a player, was impossible.
They simply don't have a way to contact the residents. Even if they did, it would definitely be sometime in the future, not now.
Lin Leyou: "You don't need to guess. My friend is 100% trustworthy."
Jiang Xiali thought, "Such a good friend, how come I've never met him before?"
Lin Leyou said, "He is a rather reclusive person. I am his only friend, and he doesn't really want to interact with other people."
That's all I can say for now; we'll clear his name later.
Jiang Xiali said, "In that case, they must have investigated your location overnight. If you accepted a certain dungeon quest, they could find out through some backend system."
At this point, Jiang Xiali's mood improved slightly.
"Hehehe, this time I've caught them red-handed! Just wait and see, the people who leaked your information won't get away with it either, they'll even have to thank me."
Lin Leyou, "Who can find out who has accepted which dungeon quest, when they will appear in which place... who is that?"
Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is a civilian department of the Bureau of Order Management."
"It's alright, let's leave this to Lin Wanyi. He's an executor in the Bureau of Order and has a high position. Let him handle this, and that administrative department will definitely be purged."
Lin Leyou: "Isn't the Bureau of Order Management absolutely prohibited from allowing such a thing to happen?"
Jiang Xiali was silent for a while, "I can only say that the management is extremely strict, the rules are extremely strict, and the punishments are extremely severe! If you have the guts, then break the rules, but if you have the ability, then don't get caught."
Lin Leyou said, "So that's how it is. No matter how strict the management is, there will always be some loopholes. After all, there are always countermeasures to policies."
"Can I ask what kind of punishment the person who leaked my information will face? Since I am the victim, will there be any compensation?"
Lin Leyou is still in danger, but he's already thinking about compensation, partly because the compensation he received before was so useful.
In Jiangxiali, "Expulsion is certain, and we'll need your letter of forgiveness. If you don't provide one, you'll be sent to the most dangerous playground for ten games, with no rewards but severe penalties for failure!"
Lin Leyou: "What if there's a letter of understanding?"
In Jiangxiali, "If there is any, then we'll have him play the game three times, and all the rewards he gets in the game will be confiscated, with a portion of them going to you as compensation."
Lin Leyou: "Oh, that's good then."
After picking up Lin Wanyi in Jiangxia, the car sped off towards Happy Amusement Park. Since Lin Wanyi was in the car, he put his phone on speakerphone.
Lin Wanyi, "How are things on your end?"
Lin Leyou heard Lin Wanyi's voice and said, "This person hasn't left yet. He's loitering around the amusement park entrance. It seems he's not giving up and wants to wait for me to come out."
"They must have known. My talent is related to space, so they were gambling! They were betting that I wouldn't teleport to another place, but would hide for a while and then reappear in the same spot. I have to say, they guessed right."
Lin Wanyi said, "He's not just gambling on this, he's also gambling that your talent will give out before the rescue you called arrives, so he'll still have a chance to kill you and take the stuff without getting caught."
Jiang Xia gritted her teeth, "That old bastard is indeed insidious."
Lin Leyou also gasped in surprise. This Jiang Changdong was indeed an elder, with more experience than the child.
Lin Wanyi added, "Actually, even if we waited until we got to your side and you came out of the talent, he could still choose not to run away."
"After all, if he denies everything he just did, and you can't provide any evidence to prove that he attacked you, then he can just say that he was just at the amusement park, and nobody can do anything about it, right?"
Jiang Xiali was in a terrible mood. "Yes, and maybe we can even discuss a deal with you openly and honestly in front of us."
