Chapter 313 Extra
In the Jinwei Beverage Shop, soothing melodies floated around, and soft light spread all around. The dazzling light curtain and the restlessness outside the glass wall seemed very far away at this moment.
Chen Chuan and Lu Fang sat across from each other. After the waiter who brought the drinks left, Senior Lu asked with some hope, "Junior Chen, you asked me to come here today. Do you have any clues about the matter?"
Chen Chuan said: "We have some clues, but we are not sure yet. We may need to investigate this matter further. If we want to get the real results, we may have to wait a little longer."
Lu Fang understood very well and sighed, "Xiaodi Chen, thank you for your help. I didn't expect to know the result immediately. Central City is very difficult to navigate, and I'm sure you'll have your share of difficulties. Besides, Zhao Qian is blocking the way, so I know how difficult it is here..."
Chen Chuan then said, "Zhao Qian is not a problem, he is already dead."
Zhao Qian...
What?
Lu Fang didn't react at first, but at this moment he couldn't help but look up at him, with a hesitant and uncertain expression, he said: "Xiaodi Chen, you just said..."
Chen Chuan said in a natural tone, "Zhao Qian was traveling with the transport convoy. He suffered a sudden illness midway and left the convoy to return to the central city. However, he was attacked by an unknown force on the way back to the city and has now been confirmed dead."
Lu Fang sat there in a daze, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He clenched the cup tightly and said excitedly: "Good death, good death!"
His eyes were slightly red. He picked up the hot drink on the table, gulped it all down, and put it heavily on the table. Then he exhaled. He looked at Chen Chuan and nodded to him. What unknown forces? There are not so many coincidences in the world. This matter should be pushed by Chen Chuan.
This junior was able to overthrow the Mutual Aid Association in the past, and he can also take down Zhao Qian this time!
He said with some emotion and gratitude: "Junior brother, I have known for a long time that what we can't do, only you can do it, just like when we were in Yangzhi City, it was you who made us see hope!" He poured another cup of hot drink and toasted it to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan also picked up the hot drink, toasted him, and slowly took a sip.
Lu Fang calmed down at this point, and asked with some hope: "Junior, you just said that there are some clues to the matter, what do you mean?"
Chen Chuan used the Jieping to reconstruct the scenes Wu Bei had given him and passed them to Lu Fangjieping. He said, "From the limited information we have so far, a young girl appeared with Zhao Qian. She looks a bit like the person we are looking for, but there are not enough clues, so we can't confirm it at the moment."
Lu Fang took a few glances. He was not excited because the girl looked like Shen Zheng. He just frowned when he saw her kneeling in front of Zhao Qian. She looked much calmer than before.
He said, "Junior, can you find her?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Although this scene took place inside Lianwei Zhongyu, this person only appeared once. He probably wasn't an employee of the company, but more like a personal follower of Zhao Qian. This can narrow the scope."
At this time, he sent a location to Lu Fang, which was also passed to him by Wu Bei just now.
"There's a private residence belonging to Zhao Qian in the Xunfeng Garden residential area. According to records, he visits this place every two months. Since it's not his official residence, and the owner isn't even named after him, if he has any secrets, they'll definitely be hidden here. Perhaps we can investigate."
After Lu Fang read it, he said solemnly: "Junior brother, I have troubled you too much before. Let me do this myself."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Places like these usually have special field signals. If you rashly enter, you'll be discovered by the city patrol. So, senior, please let me know when you go there. I'll find a technician to help you solve the field signal problem."
Lu Fang said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, junior."
Chen Chuan was relieved about this. After all, Lu Fang was a fighter of the second level and graduated from Wuyi Academy. Apart from fighters of the third level, there were actually very few people who could threaten him.
As long as the technical problems are solved, there will be basically no other problems.
Lu Fang said, "Brother, there is no time to lose. I will go back and make preparations."
Chen Chuan said hello.
"Junior, I'll go first." Lu Fang stood up and said, "I'll pay the bill today." After that, he went to the front desk to pay the bill, and then left lightly and quickly.
Chen Chuan looked out the window and saw that his back seemed much less heavy than before. He leaned back in a soft chair, quietly listening to soothing music.
Half an hour later, he came out of the store, crossed the square and returned to Xuangong Building. However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw groups of students gathered in the hall, all wearing Wu Yi's school uniform.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because the junior students in the headquarters spent most of their time training with various teachers, while the senior students mostly joined companies and governments. They were not in school most of the time and rarely gathered together. The most people were on the boundary.
Many of his classmates, except for a few like Tan Zhi, were acquainted with him through connections, and he had never seen the current situation before.
However, when I looked closely, I found that all these students had implants, and I immediately realized that these must be the non-staff students.
A few days ago, he saw a message on the college platform saying that this year's fighting arena competition was about to begin. Even non-staff students were recognized as Wu Yi's students. They should come here to receive concentrated pre-match training. After all, the headquarters has the best facilities and venues, as well as instructors.
These students were having a heated discussion, but when they saw him come in, they immediately lowered their voices. As he walked by, everyone's eyes were on him.
The feelings of non-staff students towards regular students are very complicated.
The ring battles they fight are often life-and-death battles, because only in this way can they attract more people. They hover on the edge of life and death every day, yearning for the superior environment of formal students, but at the same time ridiculing formal students who only know how to hide in the office, drink hot drinks and give orders.
After Chen Chuan entered the elevator, he turned around and watched the two elevator doors slowly close. Before they were completely closed, a hand suddenly reached out, and then two two-meter-tall non-staff students walked in and stood to one side. Fortunately, the elevator was spacious enough and not crowded.
After the elevator doors closed, one of them kept looking at Chen Chuan. After a while, the elevator began to rise, and a hint of provocation appeared in that person's eyes: "Formal student, I have always wanted to know the gap between you and me. Can you give me a chance?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "We are all classmates, no need to be so polite."
The student suddenly became alert. He moved his wrist and then threw a punch. He stared at Chen Chuan with his eyes, while his other hand was hidden in his lower abdomen. He had deliberately moved closer and found the most suitable angle for the attack.
Both were fighters at the second level. In such a confined space, under such a rapid and sudden attack, Chen Chuan had no chance of exerting any strength. If he attempted to dodge or parry, he would immediately adjust accordingly. He was confident that Chen Chuan would not be able to come up with any way to counter the attack.
He wanted to prove that non-staff students were no worse than regular students.
When this thought came to him, he found that Chen Chuan did not make any counterattack or dodge, but unexpectedly took a step forward.
When he took this step forward, he leaned sideways a little, and took the initiative to meet the attack with his shoulder. However, his punch had not been fully delivered at this time before it hit Chen Chuan's shoulder, which pressed it down and pushed it back. The force it carried was so great that it pushed his feet off the ground and his back slammed against the elevator door.
When the student on the other side saw this, he kicked Chen Chuan in the back. This was not because he intended to use more people against fewer, but an instinctive reaction. Because the two people on the ring were teammates, if one of them encountered an unfavorable situation, he would subconsciously make a move to restrain and attack.
Chen Chuan took a step to the side almost at the same time as he kicked, grabbed the hand of the student opposite him, turned around lightly, and while dodging the kick from behind, brought the person opposite him back and threw him backwards with the momentum of the turn.
The student at the back missed his kick and rushed forward. Just as he was trying to stop, he saw a figure in front of him rapidly growing larger. He quickly raised his hand to catch it, and then felt an irresistible force rushing towards him. The two of them fell to the ground together, rolling into a ball, and stopped only after hitting the back wall of the elevator.
Chen Chuan watched the two men quickly get up and instinctively take defensive actions. He said to the one who threw the first punch, "Student, you punch quickly, but you just overthought it. You should be more decisive." He then said to another student, "Student, the timing of your kick was good, but it was too desperate. It would be better if you left some way out."
The two were stunned when they heard him say that. At this time, there was a ding-dong sound and the elevator door moved to the sides. Chen Chuan took a look and saw that it was the 28th floor, so he made way slightly.
The two students looked at each other and walked out. After one of them got outside, he suddenly turned around and said, "Cao Rui!"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Chen Chuan." The elevator door slowly closed at this time.
After the elevator rose, another student said unconsciously: "Cao Rui, he is very powerful." He noticed that Chen Chuan had only moved one hand just now, and the other hand holding the knife had not moved from beginning to end.
Cao Rui said somewhat unconvinced and unwillingly: "Are all the formal students so powerful?"
He had achieved very good rankings and results in the competition, and thought that the gap between him and the formal students was not big. Moreover, he often experienced life-and-death battles, and thought that he should be able to defeat the formal students when facing students of similar level. However, the competition just now gave him a heavy blow, and it was really a big blow.
Another student sighed and said, "Formal students have access to so many more resources."
Cao Rui suddenly walked towards another elevator and pressed the button. Another student was surprised, "Where are you going?" Cao Rui said, "You guys go exercise first. I need to continue practicing."
