Chuanliu went from the study to the council chamber, and from the dining room to the toilet.
Finally, useful information was found in Jiulong's bedroom.
It was a handwritten survey document, and judging from the condition of the paper and ink, it should have been from the last two years.
The cover of the document is titled "Competitive Selection Investigation File".
Upon opening it, you'll find information about Susan and several other unfamiliar names.
This information was likely gathered by Kowloon before they competed for "10 of Hearts".
Name: Susan;
Gender: Female;
Duration of stay on the island: 7 years;
Previous positions: 1-3 years after arriving on the island, waiter at Red Peach City - Red Peach Casino; 4 years after arriving on the island, auction item displayer at Wuwang District - Wuwang Auction House; 5-6 years after arriving on the island, B-position auctioneer at Wuwang District - Wuwang Auction House; 7 years after arriving on the island, A-position auctioneer at Wuwang District - Wuwang Auction House.
Special Background: Previously worked at the Red Peach Casino in Red Peach City and the Wuwang Auction House in Wuwang District, maintaining close ties with resources in Wuwang District. Backed by the First Everything Shop, suspected of having a special relationship with its owner, Little Ghost, though the exact nature of their relationship is unknown. Recently, suspected of reaching a cooperation agreement with the emerging force "Cube 6" in Cube City, details of which are unclear…
The word "little devil" once again jumped into Chuanliu's field of vision.
"Little devil" is actually the mastermind behind the First Yorozuya.
From this perspective, apart from the time he arrived on the island being different from Qian Chuan, all other conditions seem to match Qian Chuan perfectly.
However, Zhuge Wu also said that "Little Devil" was the person who played a crucial role before everything happened four years ago. Therefore, this person must have been someone who already possessed considerable power, influence, and prestige at that time.
If "Little Ghost" is actually the former boss of the current Yorozuya, and Zenigurumi is the next boss to succeed "Little Ghost," then everything makes sense.
"Little Ghost" was once the owner of the First Odd Jobs Shop, a figure known to all the long-time residents of Paradise Island.
Because of the existence of the "little devil," the four suits maintained a peaceful state of non-interference with each other for four years and even longer.
Until four years ago, "Little Ghost" suddenly disappeared for some reason, which aroused the restless hearts of some people.
Led by Cao He, then known as "Red Heart 9" and now "Red Heart King", they gradually probed and stirred up this calm pool of water.
Cao He likely used the computer-like machine that he had secretly developed four years ago as a gimmick to attract the major forces of the Block City to cooperate.
Meanwhile, the former "10 of Diamonds" gained the support of the City of Spades by standing on the moral high ground.
Qian Chuan arrived on the island two years ago and, for some reason, mingled in the Wuwang District; and for some other reason, he inherited what "Little Ghost" left behind. He hid his identity and became the unknown behind-the-scenes boss of the First Yorozuya.
The world probably doesn't know when the First Yorozuya changed hands.
Qian Kushi took advantage of everyone's perception that the owner of the First Yorozuya was still a "kid" and mobilized his resources to secure the position of "Sixth in Blocks" at a time when Block City was short of manpower.
Next, Zenigushi used the power of the First Yorozuya to conceal a large amount of written information about "Kid". As a result, the name "Kid" only appeared in the mouths of long-time official residents of Paradise Island, while new residents and those wanderers who had no contact with "Kid" were unaware of his existence.
It was during this process that the money string helped Susan. Susan may or may not have known about "the devil."
With the support of the First Everything Shop and the "Six of Diamonds" resources, as well as her years of connections at the Wuwang Auction House and her identity that had almost no connection with the Red Heart Casino and the red-light district, Susan defeated Jiulong and became the new "Ten of Diamonds".
Jiulong then forgot about the document in some corner of the room.
Although Chuanliu still didn't know what the bombs that Uncle Hei had mentioned that the Cube City possessed were all about, or why Qianchuan was so resistant to that period of history, the truth of the matter had become clearer, and Chuanliu's thoughts had also become clearer.
She walked out of the Extreme Fox villa and out of the Red Peach Manor.
She has lingered in the City of Hearts for too long; it's time to return to the City of Blocks.
The following morning, after saying goodbye to everyone, Chuanliu set off alone on the road back to the City of Cubes.
As she walked to the entrance of the Red Peach Casino, a familiar figure came into view.
Qian Chuan was leaning against a stone pillar outside the door, his hands in his pockets. He had his head down, seemingly deep in thought, or perhaps quietly waiting for someone to arrive.
The morning sunlight shone through the clouds, casting a golden halo over the money string. The halo swayed gently with his movements, as if even the surrounding air itself had gained a touch of brightness.
Seeing this, Chuanliu smiled slightly. "What? Waiting for me?"
The girl's voice caught Qianchuan's attention and echoed in the morning air.
Upon hearing this, Qian Chuan looked up at Chuan Liu.
He took a small rubber band out of his pocket, held one end in his teeth, and skillfully tied up half of his short hair at the back of his head.
He returned a smile to Chuan Liu, "Yes, I'll wait for you to come home."
Chuanliu looked at Qianchuan, who seemed about to say something but hesitated, and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he followed in Qianchuan's footsteps and walked towards the City of Cubes.
Throughout the journey, Qian Chuan always seemed like he wanted to speak.
Only after the two had left the Red Heart Casino did he finally speak, albeit hesitantly, "You know what? You have to look forward. That's what Paradise Island taught me."
Chuanliu glanced at him and said, "Past experiences and lessons can provide a theoretical basis for future decisions. It is precisely because we need to look forward that we need to be familiar with what has happened in the past."
Qian Chuan argued: "The previous events occurred because of interference from many known external factors. Blindly referring to the experiences of predecessors may lead to being trapped in a fixed mindset and unable to break free."
Chuanliu smiled. "This comes down to how this person processes the information they receive. Personally, I think it should be rational. What do you think?"
Qian Chuan sighed softly, but couldn't help saying, "Why do you always keep bringing up what happened two years ago?"
Chuanliu stopped in his tracks, met the man's slightly worried eyes, and replied, "Because whenever it comes to that matter, you've never told me the truth."
Qian Chuan was speechless. He avoided Chuan Liu's gaze, took two quick steps, and put some distance between himself and her.
Just then, an old man who looked like a beggar slowly walked over from across the road.
His clothes were tattered and disheveled, making it almost impossible to recognize his original appearance. He walked with a limp, clutching a wooden cane tightly in his hand.
