His soft, light brown hair cascaded down his sides, his amber eyes sparkled with laughter, and his features, magnified in proportion, still hinted at the babyishness of his childhood. A white T-shirt and beige trousers completed the look—simple yet undeniably youthful.
His smile was like the spring sunshine, with a small dimple at the corner of his mouth.
He's a perfect sunny, mature man and an irresistibly cute puppy.
Many older women, upon seeing this, would clutch their hearts and exclaim, "It's like falling in love!"
Chang Le was stunned for a moment before slowly reaching out his hand.
422 looked at her outstretched hand with a puzzled expression, raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not stop her hand.
422's pupils contracted slightly only when the hand landed on his head.
Chang Le stood on tiptoe and ruffled his hair, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter: "It feels so good, just like your rabbit fur."
422 snorted, slapped her hand away, turned and left, instantly transforming back into its original rabbit form.
Chang Le snapped out of his reverie and met Iris's puzzled gaze.
Iris had a strange look in her eyes. She had just seen Iris laughing in bursts, as if she were chatting with something unseen, which gave Iris a little creeps out.
Chang Le cleared his throat tactically and asked Wan Buxun, "How much longer until we land?"
Wan Buxun said, "There are still twenty minutes left."
Chang Le nodded and leaned back to look outside.
She leaned against the window and could still see the tall buildings below, but this time, she no longer felt dizzy or experienced any physical panic.
The images on that rooftop flashed by frame by frame, replacing fear with boundless bitterness.
The smile in Chang Le's eyes faded.
Behind the small window of the aircraft, Chang Le's face was obscured by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
Chang Le sorted through her memories.
The newly emerging memories bring new questions.
First, in my memory, who was she talking to before she left the Hua family and before she jumped down?
Secondly, she was clearly wearing a white dress when she left home, so why did she change into Western European court-style men's clothing when she got to the rooftop? What happened in between?
Chang Le was very puzzled.
There were no images in the middle of the memory, and in the images on the rooftop, there was no one other than her.
Was there another entity that was erased at that time?
Or is it some kind of entity that is not a physical form?
She cannot find the answers to these questions now.
"drop."
A message came through the communicator. Chang Le looked down and saw that it was from Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu: [She Haoyun has been detained and is awaiting trial in District 1. All members of the Sun family, except for Sun Chongwei, have been apprehended. Sun Chongwei's last known whereabouts were traced to his escape overseas.]
[In addition, there have been unusual movements of alien species in three locations in the old ruins. Our investigation revealed that someone has been placing energy stones nearby to attract the aliens. Based on the clues we have found, this matter is related to Sun Chongwei; it is a tactic he used to escape and stall the region.]
Currently, there are hunters and their personnel trapped in the border areas of Districts 8 and 9. The regional command has already dispatched personnel for rescue, which has indeed impacted the pursuit of Sun Chongwei. However, our people in the Meli Federation are also already in action.
There's another matter concerning She Jiameng.
Her condition is not good.
?: [What's wrong with her?]
Shen Xiu: [Having suffered repeated shocks in Sunny Country, and further provoked by the She family head during his imprisonment, he has now developed mental problems; in layman's terms, he's gone mad.]
Chang Le is silent.
It's unbelievable that the arrogant and overbearing She Jiameng ended up like this.
?: [What are the arrangements for She Haoyun?]
Shen Xiu: [The trial is in three days. Given his crimes, he should be executed within two weeks.]
Chang Le did a rough calculation.
There's enough time to rescue everyone at Goubuli and then travel from District 9 to District 1 to see She Haoyun.
After thanking Shen Xiu, Chang Le hung up the phone.
She stared at her profile picture and nickname for a while, then changed her profile picture to a waning moon and her nickname to "Chang Le".
"Mr. Wan," Chang Le called out to him, and Wan Buxun turned around.
"Given the capabilities of the Dragon Sect's Heavenly Broom Pavilion, since they can clearly identify which three types of alien species are gathered near the Bone Melting Pit, they should also know the reason."
Wan Buxun was taken aback.
Chang Le looked at him with indifferent eyes.
Iris observed their expressions and immediately understood something. She frowned and looked at Wan Buxun: "What are you hiding?"
Wan Buxun sighed almost imperceptibly and said, "This mutated species uprising is related to Sun Chongwei of the Sun family and the [God-Making Faction]."
Iris's expression changed drastically.
Chang Le raised an eyebrow and chuckled:
"So, you and the Heavenly Broom Pavilion thought that if I knew this news, I would lose my composure because of my old grudges with the God-Making Faction, so you didn't tell me?"
Wan Buxun paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, I don't know how much of your memory you've recovered. Since you've been back in the Dragon Sect for some time now, your memory is likely only partially restored. I'm afraid this might upset you, so..."
"Unruly".
"And there's also Zigui, the master of the Heavenly Broom Pavilion."
Chang Le's eyes were indifferent: "You two hold high positions and have been operating within the Dragon Sect for many years. Don't you even understand the principle of not being presumptuous?"
"Or do you see me as just a troublemaker who knows too much?"
Wan Buxun's expression changed, and he immediately knelt on one knee, his attitude respectful:
"Wan Buxun and Zigui Ti assured the young master that they had absolutely no such intentions, and that they acted on their own initiative. Please punish them."
Chang Le remained silent for a moment.
Wan Buxun's gaze was fixed downwards, his body remaining completely still.
