Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Who is the boss?
Zhang San's body is now that of an adult male. Both his strength and reaction speed are much faster than before at the Golden Ring Hotel.
Facing Ji Yinhe's attack, he first raised his leg and kicked the baton away with a "bang", then clenched his fist and punched the opponent's collarbone.
Even for a woman with strong muscles, this part of the body is extremely delicate and fragile. Once a fracture occurs, she will quickly lose her fighting ability.
But Ji Yinhe was not afraid at all.
As early as when she knew that Zhang San was the mastermind, she and Lu Zheng analyzed his movement habits and predicted the direction of his punches.
Therefore, when the palm wind came towards him, Ji Yinhe bent his knees and squatted like lightning, avoiding the first wave of attack, and stretched out his long legs to sweep towards the opponent's lower body.
Zhang San, whose calf Achilles tendon was kicked, screamed silently in pain and his face turned ashen with anger.
He looked down as he staggered, and saw Ji Yinhe leaning to the side, trying to take advantage of his pain and distraction to retrieve the dropped baton.
Zhang San didn't dare let her succeed, so he gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of sharp gravel from the ground, and threw it into her eyes.
In the stagnant rain and fog, Ji Yinhe had to stretch out his hands to block it.
Zhang San quickly snatched the baton away.
Zhang San laughed heartily as he played with his weapon. "Little girl, time has stopped now. Your teacher Lu and his teammates won't come to your rescue!"
“…” Ji Yinhe leaned against the tree trunk and let out a deep breath.
"My dear, don't listen to him!" Lian Qiao yelled at the top of her voice, "He's just a fool—"
Ji Yinhe looked up at his parents. The chains made of sand and fallen leaves by the system were still locking them tightly.
She was filled with anger, and she picked up a fallen stone with her toes and grabbed it in her palm.
Zhang San swung the baton like a baseball bat, but Ji Yinhe was a well-trained criminal police officer after all. When anger rose in her heart, her movements and reactions were only faster than his - in just a blink of an eye, she used her elbow to deflect the direction of the baton and at the same time pressed the sharp tip of the stone against Zhang San's neck.
His blood vessels throbbed heavily in the damp, cold air. With a clang, the baton fell to the ground. Zhang San raised his bare hands high in the air and shouted in surrender, "Officer Ji, I was wrong. How about you let go first, and we can sit down and talk it over!"
"Yinhe, don't believe him, he is just fooling you!" Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo shouted in unison.
Ji Yinhe didn't move, just stared at the other person without saying a word.
While Zhang San was smiling ingratiatingly, his mind was working rapidly.
Lian Qiao was right, he was planning another thing.
From this angle, one can just see something faintly visible between her collars—
It was a piece of transparent glass, which she tied up with the cotton string of a wind chime and hung around her neck. At this moment, it was facing the lightning in the sky, reflecting colorful black light.
Isn't this the Galaxy Glass he worked so hard to get?!
Ji Yinhe didn't move, and even used a little more force in his hands, "If you have anything to say, just say it now."
"Hey, could you please not be so nervous?" Zhang San said with a playful smile, "Actually, I don't necessarily want to hurt you... We're all workers, so let's understand each other—"
"Get to the point."
"What I mean is—the existence of this world is wrong, and I have to correct it, right? But all roads lead to Rome. As long as no one bothers me when I return, we can also think of other methods... For example, I can transfer your family of three into other books and separate the world again. What do you think?"
Ji Yinhe thought about it and said, "No."
"Then let me deal with the protagonists of the original book, and submit a report to the leadership to apply for this place to be a new world—"
"No." Ji Yinhe frowned. "The people here are real people. Everyone has their own job and life. They have a familiar environment and neighbors from childhood... These are not instructions you can rewrite at will!"
"Oh, could you please not be so serious, Miss?"
"Call me Officer Ji."
"...Okay, Officer Ji." Zhang San raised his hands high. "Can you please take this stone away first? Look, I can't even speak properly, so how can we negotiate terms?"
“…” Ji Yinhe thought for two seconds and moved the sharp stone tip outward.
Zhang San pressed the issue further. "Let's sit down and talk, okay?" He pointed behind Ji Yinhe and said, "I have a pen and paper in my bag. Once we've agreed on the terms, we need to write them down in black and white... What if you regret it later?"
Ji Yinhe thought that what he said was not wrong, so he shifted his gaze and looked in the direction he pointed.
However, at this moment, Zhang San quickly grabbed her hand, snatched the stone away, and pointed the sharp tip at Ji Yinhe's throat.
Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo screamed "Ah!"
"Shut up! You're making so much noise!" Zhang San impatiently looked away, "Ji Yinhe, take that thing off your neck and give it to me!"
Ji Yinhe had expected him to cheat, so he wasn't surprised. "Think carefully. If you go back on your word like this, we won't have room to negotiate terms later."
Zhang San's momentum weakened a bit. "Stop talking nonsense and give me the Galaxy Glass first!"
"So it's the legendary—" Ji Yinhe impatiently pressed down Zhang San's threatening arm, took off the wind chime piece, and looked at the bleak sky.
A sudden intuition emerged from the bottom of her heart, and she subconsciously said the second half of the sentence, "Galaxy glass?"
“—Here I am.”
A voice suddenly sounded beside their ears, and then, in the shocked gazes of Ji Yinhe, Zhang San, Lianqiao and Ji Jianguo, someone walked out of the forest with his hands behind his back, like an old cadre.
Surprisingly, he lived on the first floor of Meiqingyuan, often sitting at the door to bask in the sun, watching Ji Yinhe grow up——
“!!!” “Old Wu?” “Uncle Wu?”
Lian Qiao, Ji Jianguo and Ji Yinhe asked questions one after another, but the most shocked one was Zhang San, his eyes were as big as copper bells and almost fell out!
"Uncle Wu, aren't you a character in the book?" Ji Yinhe raised his eyebrows. "Why doesn't the stillness of time affect you? Don't you have more than one identity?"
Uncle Wu just smiled and waved his hand.
The golden system panel flickered as if struggling, and then disappeared along with the chain rewritten by the code!
Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo, who regained their freedom, immediately rushed forward and stood between Zhang San and Ji Yinhe.
"..." Zhang San looked at Uncle Wu who was getting closer and closer, and took a step back in frustration. "Director! Director Wu, I was wrong. Please listen to my explanation!"
Ji Yinhe reacted quickly and asked, "Director?"
Uncle Wu coughed humbly, "I'm sorry for keeping this secret from my neighbors for so long. Actually, my true identity is the head of the Time Travel Bureau and the owner of Galaxy Glass."
Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo looked at each other and sighed softly, "You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Zhang San, who had lost the system and his lover's help, turned pale. "Director, it's all Lian Qiao's fault. He kicked the Galaxy glass to pieces, causing the two worlds to merge. I just wanted to correct the mistake, Director!"
Lian Qiao snorted coldly, "You're blaming me?! Is traveling through a book what I want? You didn't even say hello and dragged me into this world for no apparent reason. I resisted a few times during the process, and I was wrong?"
"No matter what, your daughter shouldn't be here!" Zhang San explained, stiffening his neck. "I've proposed several plans to save her life. Are you still dissatisfied?"
"Right!" Ji Jianguo stood beside his daughter and looked up at the secretive director. "Old Wu, this system comrade is going to destroy the entire world! The protagonists and supporting characters in the book will all disappear!"
Zhang Sanda yelled, "Oh, so what? They are just characters, paper figures!"
"They have lives and emotions too!" Ji Yinhe retorted harshly. "Uncle Wu, think about Aunt Chen, think about the neighbors in Meiqingyuan, think about the ordinary people living in the streets and alleys of Handong Province... They have complex and profound emotions, too, and they can't be erased so easily... How is that any different from taking human life?"
Zhang San's eyes flashed with arrogance. "According to you, no one should transmigrate into books anymore. Every character in every world has to be treated as a real person anyway. Isn't that tiring..."
"I'm not that noble, I can't care so much." Ji Yinhe held the glass tightly, "But this world is not okay."
"you--!"
"Okay." Uncle Wu, calm and composed, stepped forward and stopped their argument.
"Ji Yinhe, I can assure you that this world will not change." He turned around and looked at Zhang San with compassionate eyes. "As for you, 9300727, you need to recognize your mistakes."
"So, then we won't change it?" Zhang San asked, puzzled. "What if the inspection team finds out?"
"That's okay." Uncle Wu smiled faintly. "In fact, this story has already been written into a new novel. Readers are watching you in the story right now, curious about what actions you will take next."
"..." Zhang San pointed at himself and asked, "I, have become a character too? What about my lover?"
"All of them," Uncle Wu replied simply, "including me."
Zhang San was confused for a moment. He sat down on the ground, counting on his fingers and muttering, "Is this world a novel, or is the world outside this world also a novel?"
"That depends on your own understanding." Uncle Wu turned his gaze to Ji Yinhe who raised his hand. "Do you have any questions?"
"Is this novel good?" Ji Yinhe blinked. "I've solved so many cases. Will any readers come through it?"
Uncle Wu smiled with a profound smile. "Whether it's good or not is up to the readers, but I think this story is very innovative and interesting. At least I'm very satisfied with you, Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo as the protagonists."
Ji Yinhe took a deep breath in shock, "I am... the heroine?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I appear as soon as you called out 'Galaxy Glass'?" Uncle Wu answered casually, then picked up Zhang San from the ground like a chicken. "It's time to go back. The comrades from the Crossing General Administration and the inspection team are still waiting for Boss Lian's lemon boneless chicken feet."
Lian Qiao reacted, "So the braised dishes you bought from me for so many years were all for those people behind the system?"
Uncle Wu gave a thumbs-up, then smiled slightly and left with Zhang San, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
"boom!"
The half-flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, and raindrops fell heavily to the ground. The sounds of wind and rain filled the world again.
Ji Yinhe and Ms. Lian, Comrade Ji, looked at each other with blank expressions.
"—Zhang San was just taken away by Uncle Wu like that?" Officer Ji looked in the direction Uncle Wu disappeared, feeling lost and angry. "He encouraged so many criminals and hurt so many innocent people. I still haven't settled the score with him!"
"Old Wu seemed to wink at me just now." Lian Qiao pulled her husband aside and asked, "Did you see that?"
Ji Jianguo whispered, "I think I saw it."
"——Ji Yinhe! Uncle Ji! Aunt Lian!"
The bushes beneath the rocks were pulled aside, and Lu Zheng was the first to rush up. He asked nervously, "Why did you suddenly disappear just now? Where's Zhang San? What happened?"
"I'm fine, and my parents are fine too." Ji Yinhe looked at the large group of people coming towards him and silently held his forehead. "This... is a bit ridiculous. Even if I explain it to you, you might not believe it..."
Lu Zheng said without hesitation, "I believe you. I believe everything you say."
Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo, who were a few steps away, were arm in arm, laughing gossip-filledly.
"Okay..." Ji Yinhe touched his burning ears, "When we get down the mountain, I will definitely tell you everything."
