Chapter 251 Model is not a problem, flexibility is more important
The agreed welfare lottery store was located on a main road in H. City.
There was a lot of traffic on the main road and people coming and going on the sidewalk in front of the lottery shop.
Public places like this with large crowds of people are actually the safest places for Lu Qingqing and Zhang Yanan who need to hide their identities and prevent being tracked.
Wen Nan stood across the street, looking at the man across from him through the pedestrians and vehicles passing by.
The man held a rose in his hand and focused on the passers-by on the sidewalk, trying to find the target he was waiting for among them.
Wen Nan crossed the street, approached the man from behind, and asked in his ear: "Do you want to taste the taste of the spiked profit scraped on the sausage?"
When the signal matched, the man's eyes lit up and he turned around hurriedly, "You finally came--"
Halfway through the conversation, the person on the other side saw Wen Nan's face clearly and was stunned, "Why, why is it you? Why are you here?"
After looking around, Wen Nan said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go talk over there?"
The other party nodded and handed three white roses to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan threw the rose into the trash can - it was too conspicuous for two men to hold roses and chat - and went to the nearby shop to buy two sets of lottery tickets. The two of them squatted side by side at the stairs nearby, scratching the lottery tickets and chatting.
The person on the other end spoke first: "I haven't seen you since the incident in the private room of Qiangui yesterday. In this day and age, it's inconvenient to contact you. I don't have your phone number, so I can't ask about your situation.
"After such a long time without any news, I thought you were... raped by them.
"I didn't expect to meet you again. This is great, but why did you come here, and what about the code? Didn't you say that the person coming here is a woman?"
Before Wen Nan could say a word, the man on the other end had already asked all the questions he was going to ask, and even his mental journey was similar to Wen Nan's.
Wen Nan looked at Yin Zhien and was choked and speechless for a moment.
No matter who was behind the drugging incident at Qiangui KTV yesterday and no matter what the purpose was, the mastermind was definitely not from the Zhongchen camp.
Wen Nan was rescued from the box with the help of the "mysterious man" in black clothes, black pants and a baseball cap. However, Wen Nan had no idea about Yoon Ji-eun's condition and whether she could escape.
He couldn't contact the other party, so he could only keep this problem in his heart for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the contact person between Zhang Yanan and Lu Qingqing would be Yin Zhien.
Since the other party spoke first, Wen Nan responded to his own situation first: "After the problem in the box last night, someone took me out. I don't know who it was. The other party came and went in a hurry and didn't show his face. As for this meeting, I was entrusted by someone to understand the situation."
Yoon Ji-eun nodded and asked again, "Did that girl ask you to come over?"
Wen Nan nodded, and before the other party could ask any more questions, he interrupted him, "How did you get out of that box last night? And why are you involved in this matter now?"
Yin Zhien was a loyal minister that Wen Nan had used truth serum to get out. She was definitely in his camp. However, Zhang Yanan was probably controlled by the treacherous minister Wei Zhe. According to Wen Nan's speculation, the contact person she was looking for should belong to Wei Zhe's camp. How could it be Yin Zhien? Could it be that after the incident in the box last night, Yin Zhien was controlled by Wei Zhe, and now she was just a walking puppet like those manipulated female characters?
Wen Nan stared at Yoon Ji-eun's round, harmless-looking face.
Yin Zhien fell into a painful memory, her face was not very good, but she still replied: "Last night, I was not as lucky as you, no one helped me, I...I think they drugged me...
"When I woke up the next day, I was sore all over and my bones were about to fall apart, but no one saw it. I only saw a note saying that some kind of poison had been injected into my body. If I wanted an antidote, I should do as they said. On the note, there were three white roses."
As she spoke, Yoon Ji-eun rummaged through her pockets, took out a crumpled note, and handed it to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan took the note, unfolded it, and saw that the upper half of the note did contain the threatening words that Yoon Ji-eun had said to him, while the lower half clearly stated the meeting place and the meeting code, and also said that the person who showed up was likely a girl, and that he should take the girl to the next designated location, and after the task was accomplished, she would naturally give him the antidote.
At the bottom is the address of the next designated location.
The address was hand-drawn and was very sloppy, but you could tell it was located on the T University campus, next to the male dormitory of the Faculty of Science.
Wen Nan put the note away and looked at Yin Zhien again, "That's all?"
Yoon Ji Eun nodded, “Yeah.”
9527: [Your skill, Mind Reading, has taken effect. It will be effective for a total of 10 minutes.]
The moment the skill took effect, Wen Nan heard Yin Zhien's groaning with some pain in his mind.
Wen Nan was startled, and then quickly asked, "In other words, before you get the antidote, no matter who is on the other side, you will be forced to stand on their side and help them?"
Yoon Ji-eun nodded again, "I'm afraid so."
"It's so uncomfortable... What is this... Who is peeping... "
Wen Nan stared at the boy next to him and found that his face was becoming paler and paler, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Before Wen Nan could speak again, Yin Zhien raised her hand and squeezed his shoulder hard, "I, I feel so bad, Senior, did you, did you do something to me again? My [Subconscious Sensation] has been triggered."
"It's so uncomfortable... Who is in my head... Stop it, it's too uncomfortable..."
Wen Nan was stunned for a moment.
...I forgot about this.
However, this [Subconscious Sensing] might have reacted to potions like the Veritaserum, but why did it react so strongly to a skill like mind reading? If that was the case...
"Last night, someone in the box used drugs, why didn't your induction work? And the other party gave you poison, why didn't you react?"
Yin Zhien replied seriously: "I sensed it in the box yesterday, but the opponent was too strong. By the time I realized something was wrong, I had no chance to resist."
"It's so uncomfortable... so uncomfortable... ah..."
Wen Nan nodded and accepted the other party's statement. After all, he was on guard but still fell into the trap. The person who made trouble in the box last night must be of a high level.
At this time, Yin Zhien said again: "As for the poison, I also had a reaction. I vomited as soon as I woke up today. My stomach was completely empty. There was nothing left to vomit. Otherwise, when you used your skills just now, I might have vomited on you on the spot."
"It's painful... It's not over yet..."
Wen Nan glanced at the system countdown in his mind and said, "Sorry, once this skill of mine starts, it cannot be stopped. There are still 6 minutes left. Please bear with it."
Yin Zhien nodded palely, thought for a moment, and asked again: "What should we do now?"
"First, follow the instructions of the other party and go to the next designated location. Follow the clues and find them, including their people and their lair." Wen Nan said, looking at Yin Zhien, "Have you exposed your loyalty card to them?"
Yin Zhien thought about it and shook her head, "I don't know, probably, probably not."
Wen Nan said calmly: "It's better to be exposed."
"ah?"
"According to my guess, even if you complete the handover, they won't let you go easily. You are a loyal subject. Controlling a loyal subject is far more useful than controlling an ordinary NPC, but the risk is relatively higher," Wen Nan analyzed. "They should be keeping you hanging and using you, but they will also be on guard against you. Try to act scared and submissive in front of them, pretend to be nice, and try to get as much information as possible about the people over there."
Hearing this, Yoon Ji-eun became interested, "Mission Impossible, right? Acting stupid and weak? I'm the best at this, don't worry, senior."
The specific time of the next designated location was not written on the note. Wen Nan guessed that the enemy camp must have arranged NPCs to wait nearby in advance, waiting for Yin Zhien to go and hand over the person.
Yoon Ji-eun is a loyal minister who was put forward by the other side as a shield. It is easy to meet him, and the other side is not afraid of Yoon Ji-eun being exposed. However, when going to the next designated location, the person in charge of the handover there may very likely be Wei Zhe's direct contact person. Then the next meeting will definitely not be as simple as this time.
The one Wei Zhe wants to control this time is Lu Qingqing, a character with identity information. If two grown men, Yin Zhien and Wen Nan, go over there, the other side will definitely not buy it.
They need a woman.
Wen Nan just thought of this, at the same time, Yin Zhien beside him hesitated and said: "Um, senior, do you... accept women's clothing?"
Wen Nan looked at the other person coldly, "Don't even think about it."
Although he had [Eve of All Transformations], it was not difficult for him to disguise himself as a young female character like Lu Qingqing, but firstly, Wen Nan would not accept it. Secondly, he only had three bottles of [Eve of All Transformations] in total. He used one bottle inside the sheath of the divine staff with Yu Shujun last time. Now there were only more than twenty hours of balance left. He definitely would not be willing to use it on such a thing.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Oh," feeling the other party's resistance, Yin Zhien did not mention it again, and only asked: "What should we do now?"
Wen Nan thought about it and realized that if this matter was to be accomplished, he would need to go deep into Wei Zhe's lair. Therefore, if Wen Nan did not do it himself, he would have to find a female character he could trust.
Qiqi cannot be activated in this copy. Guan Ailin is now his spawn point and cannot take risks. Yu Shujun/Jun Wuming is in his own copy mission...
Thinking of this, Wen Nan stood up and said, "Follow me."
"Where are you going?" Yoon Ji-eun followed quickly.
"Looking for someone." Wen Nan didn't elaborate, but walked towards the gate of a normal school without stopping.
When Yang Mingzhong took action against Zhang Yanan, he did it quite cleanly. Although it is not known what methods he used to prevent his actions from being discovered, judging from the fact that Yin Zhien's contact work was not stopped halfway, Wei Zhe should not have discovered that Zhang Yanan was killed at the first time.
But the other side has a lot of spies and should soon discover that the plan has failed.
If they want to follow the clues, they have to act quickly, and they only have this one chance.
As they were thinking about this, the two of them soon arrived near the Normal School.
Before approaching the small "tutoring" square, I could see from afar that it was crowded with people and very lively.
It's not even dinner time yet, and the students holding up signs to apply for tutoring jobs haven't even shown up yet, so why are they attracting so many onlookers?
"Over there...it seems like there's a new small stall?" Yoon Ji-eun followed Wen Nan and peered towards the crowd.
...A small stall? Newly opened? Wen Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked suspiciously towards the place where the crowd gathered.
Most people there were trying hard to squeeze in, and a few people squeezed out from the crowd, holding an opaque black bag in their hands, and walked out mysteriously, peeking their heads out all the way like thieves.
Wen Nan stepped forward, grabbed a man holding a bag, and asked, "Brother, what are you selling over there? Why is it so busy?"
The old man tightly grasped the bag in his hand and replied: "Toys! Good stuff, go and see for yourself!"
After saying that, as if afraid that Wen Nan would check the contents of his bag, the man shook his hand vigorously and left quickly.
Wen Nan's suspicion grew even deeper. He walked towards the crowd and, after some effort, finally squeezed in.
I saw Guan Ailin kneeling on a mat, communicating enthusiastically with the people around her:
“This is too expensive!”
"If you think it's too expensive, there's a smaller one here. It's much cheaper, handsome guy."
"But this one is too small, the model is wrong..."
"Handsome guy, are you inexperienced? The model is not important, the elasticity is more important."
“Is this true or false?”
"Really? If you don't believe me, you can buy it and try it. I guarantee a replacement."
"Okay, then pack it for me."
Wen Nan stood in the crowd, looking at the pile of toys in front of Guan Ailin, feeling speechless.
Is this... picking up the old business?
In this day and age, it will take many years for the industry to be upgraded, and the manufacturing industry is far from being developed. This kind of product that requires certain industrial technology is indeed rare, so it is not surprising that it would attract a group of passers-by to watch.
After all, at that time, most people would choose to "start from scratch."
But, is this thing really not illegal in this place?
Just as she was thinking, Guan Ailin suddenly looked up and saw Wen Nan. She immediately smiled and asked, "You're here?"
Wen Nan shook his head helplessly, "Come back with me."
Hearing Wen Nan's order, Guan Ailin stood up immediately without any reluctance and began to pack up the stall. "I'm not going to do it today. My man is here and I want to go back with him."
The crowd that was originally complaining, all turned their eyes to Wen Nan, their eyes full of surprise and jealousy, some even whispered: "If you have a woman like this at home, won't you be sucked dry?"
Someone finally squeezed in, and when he saw Guan Ailin trying to leave, he was unwilling to let her go, so he stepped forward to hold her back and prevent her from leaving.
However, before he could touch Guan Ailin, he was hit hard on the back of his hand by a hard object next to him. He screamed in pain and pulled his hand back.
Wen Nan turned his head and saw Minmin standing not far away, holding a long stick from somewhere in her hand. She really looked like a bodyguard, guarding Guan Ailin. However, her face was so cold that it seemed like frost would form at any moment.
Wen Nan walked out of the crowd and asked helplessly, "Why are you selling these things?"
"To support you."
As Guan Ailin spoke, she took out a bulging paper bag from the huge package on her back, stuffed it into Wen Nan's hand, and whispered, "Here is five thousand yuan, not a lot, you keep it first."
