With that, he got up to leave.
Zhou Zheng's voice drifted into Qian Chuan's ears, "What if someone possessed the ability to connect with the outside world?"
Qian Chuan stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhou Zheng. "What does that have to do with me?"
"What if this person threatens the peace of Paradise Island?"
Zhou Zheng's eyes curved into a smile, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.
"I don't care."
Qian Chuan turned around, pressed the elevator button, and waited for the elevator to rise from the first floor to the top floor.
"bite--"
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Qian Chuan stepped inside.
He nodded slightly to the two men and said as the elevator doors closed, "Goodbye, bosses."
Watching the numbers on the elevator slowly descend, Liu Xingxing slumped into a chair, "Brother, has this line been cut off again?"
Zhou Zheng's smile remained unchanged. He looked at the several basins of so-called "testing reagents" on the table, took a deep breath, and said, "No rush."
This is not...
Some people are already getting restless.
Then, the two pressed the elevator button and went downstairs.
When Qian Chuan came out of the Cube Building, he happened to run into Ma Tong and Huang Xindi on his way home.
The couple were seen wandering around the street, looking back and forth, barely moving.
"Brother Qian Liu!" Huang Xindi, pulling her husband along, greeted him and walked over.
Qian Chuan raised an eyebrow at them. "Is there something you need?"
The two said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, we came to see Lady Kawami. We owe everything we have now to Lady Kawami. We've always wanted to invite her to dinner, but she's never home. Now that we've run into her, we can't miss this opportunity!"
Qian Chuan looked around at the two of them and asked in confusion, "Then what about you two...?"
Ma Tong quickly said, "Oh, it's like this. Lord Chuanliu clearly came down with us, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. We were thinking that we might have something to talk to you about when we got back, so we thought we'd wait downstairs for a while."
Qian Chuan understood and explained, "Chuanliu has returned to my place. I'll convey your message when I get home."
Ma Tong stepped forward with a gossipy look on his face, "Brother Qian Liu, you and Chuanliu..."
The next second, the man was pulled back to his wife's side.
Huang Xindi rolled her eyes at Ma Tong and quickly thanked Qian Chuan, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Qian Liu! My husband and I are hosting a dinner tonight, please come! You absolutely must come!"
After explaining everything, the couple reluctantly walked towards their home.
Qian Chuan's gaze darkened the moment they left. He looked up at the towering, blocky building above him, wishing he could grow a pair of all-seeing eyes to see through everything on the top floor.
She didn't leave?
On the other side, the top floor of the Cube Building.
After Zhou Zheng and Liu Xingxing left, the top floor fell silent once again.
Time slipped silently into the embrace of dusk, the setting sun using the building's mirrored glass as a canvas to cast a dazzling golden glow. It illuminated every corner and cast long, drawn-out shadows across the simply furnished conference room.
At this moment, a tall, thin figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the bathroom to the side and behind; the movements were extremely light, so light that it seemed as if the air itself did not wish to disturb them, and the footsteps were so quiet that they made almost no sound.
Then, the figure walked to the conference table, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows staring intently at the several basins of test reagents on the table.
The man reached out and picked up one of all the numbered containers.
In the light of the setting sun, the shadowy figure carefully opened the reagent and dripped the liquid inside into other reagents in equal portions.
Then, some of the reagents were separated from each reagent and gathered back into the reagent in their own hand until the amount of the reagents was almost the same.
After completing all this, the man immediately turned around and went back to the bathroom, carefully washing his hands several times.
Then he smelled his hands to make sure he couldn't smell anything else before shaking them off and walking out.
Instead of taking the obvious elevator route, the person pushed open the stairwell door and silently descended the stairs. Their footsteps were light and quick, as if blending into the darkness, and the sound gradually faded into the stairwell.
The top floor returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, on the last two dark steps leading from the stairwell to the rooftop, a pair of clear, bright eyes quietly opened, like the brightest stars in the night sky, gleaming with a cunning light.
The girl stared in the direction where the tall, thin figure had disappeared, a triumphant smile slowly spreading across her lips.
She descended the steps gracefully and silently returned to the rooftop conference room.
She went to the bathroom, took a bar of soap from the sink, and quickly mixed a handful of soapy water that barely produced any lather.
Then, she dripped the soapy water into the reagent that the person had just used.
A layer of small, oily substance instantly formed on the pale yellow liquid, floating on the surface of the water.
Reagent for detecting nitrous fumes?
Of course it's a lie!
Where is she going to get metal compounds that are more reactive than nitrate?
The so-called yellow liquid in front of us is nothing more than lemonade.
Zhou Zheng cooperated with her and put on a show.
When she made the suggestion, Zhou Zheng guessed what she was thinking. Later, when she asked Zhou Zheng to prepare lemonade, Zhou Zheng became even more certain of what she wanted to do.
Such a serious matter as possession of a gun would cause a huge uproar on Paradise Island.
So, if the owner of that gun is a registered resident, there is a high probability that he will not hand the gun over to his subordinates, but will take matters into his own hands.
Therefore, it is much more likely that the official resident of the Block City, who has always held a high position, is the killer.
Originally, this was done to test her suspicions, but unexpectedly, she actually managed to pry them out.
That person probably doesn't completely believe in the so-called reagents themselves.
But better safe than sorry, so he stayed behind after everyone else had left. He planned to stir things up when no one was around.
However, once they lose their composure, they will reveal their true colors.
She gained a lot from this trip. Not only did she find out who the real culprit was who killed the little devil, but she also overheard the shocking "big gossip" that Zhou Zheng and the other two were talking about.
It sounds like the "military resources" that Zhou Zheng suddenly acquired two years ago must have come to the island with Qian Chuan.
Because only Zhou Zheng went there at the time, the Block City, which already had a majority of people, seized the supplies and eliminated the two other new residents of different suits who arrived on the island at the same time.
For some unknown reason, Qian Chuan later abandoned these things and left Zhou Zheng's group.
With these resources and the support of Cao He, Zhou Zheng rose from "Square 10" to "Square A" in just two years.
Although the war was over, all parties felt threatened by this batch of weapons, so in front of everyone, Zhou Zheng destroyed the resources.
Chuanliu cleared his mind and followed the footsteps of the person he had just seen down the stairs.
She still needs to keep following up on this "gunman"...
