Xu Zhi's words lingered in Chuanliu's mind.
Is Xu Zhi really a "little devil"?
Now, Chuanliu doesn't know whether he hopes the answer is yes or no.
Everything will be revealed after nightfall.
Chuanliu walked quickly along the path into the depths of the jungle. Regardless of whether Xu Zhi's death would affect WD's plans, she felt it necessary to give it a try.
This is the path she walked when she first arrived on the island. It was here that she first met Ma Hu and Lei Lao Jiu.
She was moving much faster than when she first arrived on the island. The howling sea breeze and the sound of waves crashing on the shore gradually became clearer, and the air was filled with an increasingly strong salty smell of the sea.
After traversing the dense coconut grove, she finally arrived at the seaside. In the night, the boundless sea unfolded before her eyes, deep and mysterious, as if it possessed a dark power that could devour everything.
Chuanliu sat quietly by the sea, letting the waves gently lap at her feet. She closed her eyes and concentrated, waiting for the appointed moment to arrive.
However, to her disappointment, the sea remained still until dawn.
So, it seems there's still no way to leave?
The girl lowered her tired eyes, then turned back unwillingly, watching the sun slowly rise where the sea met the sky, before finally leaving.
When she got home, she dialed the number again, and to her relief, the WD Investigation Bureau answered the phone again.
"I am Chuanliu, Xu Zhi is not the 'Joker,' right?"
"Yes, Miss Chuanliu, we have thoroughly investigated Xu Zhi's background, and she does not meet the criteria we are looking for."
Chuanliu breathed a sigh of relief. If it was because of Xu Zhi's death that no submarine came to pick her up, then she would have been doomed.
Fortunately, Xu Zhi was not one of them.
The WD investigation bureau gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.
Chuanliu was confused again. If Xu Zhi wasn't a "little devil," then what was the deal with the piece of paper in Xu Zhi's study? What was the deal with the news about the largest all-purpose shop in Wuwang District? And what was the deal with the materials about that "madman Feng"?
There were too many questions for her to explore, and before she could take any further action, Chuanliu received a letter from the higher-ups of the Cube City.
I just left the Cube Building yesterday, and I'm here again today. Despite not having slept all night, I'm wide awake.
She walked into the meeting room, where all the remaining official residents of the Cube City had already arrived.
"Diamond 2" Yellow Heart Stem;
"3 of Diamonds" Ma Tong;
"5 of Diamonds" flows;
"Six of Diamonds" money string;
"J of Diamonds" Li Chengfeng;
"Q" Jin Ruge;
"K of Diamonds" Liu Xingxing;
"Ace of Diamonds" is correct.
The Ma couple had never seen such a solemn scene before. They kept their heads down and didn't dare to breathe. When they saw Chuanliu walk in, their eyes lit up and they greeted him silently, but they were quickly silenced by the oppressive atmosphere.
After a moment of silence, Jin Rugo slowly spoke:
"Our subject, 'Square 10' Xu Zhi, has gone to paradise. We offer our condolences and wish her soul peace."
She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and muttered a few words before continuing, "We are deeply saddened, but the village cannot be without a leader for a day; the position of 'Square 10' needs to be inherited."
Jin Ruge looked at the money string, "According to the ranking system, the money string, which is currently ranked highest besides the '10 of Diamonds,' should inherit this position; while Chuanliu will receive the '7 of Diamonds' position that we found on Lei Laojiu a couple of days ago. The others will follow the same order, moving upwards in sequence."
Qian Chuan curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes carrying a hint of indifference.
“However,” Jin Rugo glanced at Qian Chuan again, shook her head in exasperation, and continued, “Qian Chuan voluntarily gave up the position of ‘10 of Diamonds’ and applied to remain at ‘6 of Diamonds’.”
This means that Chuan Liu will become "10 of Diamonds", Ma Tong will become "7 of Diamonds", and Wong Sum Tee will become "5 of Diamonds". The status of the currently licensed "2 of Diamonds", "3 of Diamonds", and "4 of Diamonds" is pending and will be returned to higher management.
Jin Rugo's gaze swept over the overjoyed Ma Tong and his wife, and she paused before asking, "Does anyone have any objections?"
Ma Tong and Huang Xindi immediately shook their heads, exchanging a "2" and a "3" for a "5" and a "7," a sure-fire way to make a profit.
I'd heard rumors before that Qianchuan hadn't changed his deck for years, so seeing it today, I wasn't too surprised.
She shook her head to indicate that she had no objection. She would definitely study the document from Xu's Winery more carefully. Becoming "10 of Diamonds" would be beneficial to her.
Jin Rugo nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, then, those of you who have changed identities, please return the cards you were holding."
Without hesitation, Chuanliu took out the "4 of Diamonds" and the "Diamond" that the higher-ups had taken from Lei Laojiu and returned to her.
"Chuanliu, you should still have a '2 of Diamonds'."
Jin Rugo reminded her.
To everyone's surprise, the girl looked completely innocent. "Huh? I... I pawned it at the Hearts Casino... I thought we had a new '2 of Diamonds' and wouldn't need mine anymore."
Jin Rugo glanced back at Zhou Zheng, speechless for a moment, but still said kindly, "Child, if you encounter any difficulties later, you can come to Sister Rugo. Our Cube City is already sparsely populated, so please try not to damage the identity tokens, okay?"
Thankfully it was a "2"; if it had been a higher number, Jin Rugo would have had a hard time keeping her defenses intact.
Thus, the official resident status of the Block City was updated.
"Square 2" is not available;
