Chapter 238
After adding friends, the next step is naturally to have a conversation.
Shen Yijing didn't know what Jiang Yunu wanted to talk to her about, and the white-haired girl had no intention of revealing anything in advance, and she also specified that she wanted to "find a quieter place."
Captain Shen felt that wherever Jiang Yunu was, it would not be quiet. The other party himself was like the antonym of this adjective, but he was very sensible and did not say this directly to the other party's face.
Shen Yijing used his own single practice room, which was located on the second floor of the training hall in the central stage building area.
This practice room also has special anti-peeping facilities, including sound insulation, isolation from energy interference, isolation from remote detection, and isolation from data spying.
"What a perfect little dark room for one person!"
——This is how Jiang Yunu evaluated this practice room.
Shen Yijing thought about it and decided to go along with what she said.
"Welcome to my little dark room." Captain Shen raised his arm and gestured to the wall on his right, which looked seamless without even a tiny crack. "Press the blue button and the wall will open. Below is a set of built-in refrigerators with fresh water and energy drinks."
Jiang Yunu spent three minutes studying the wall with great interest and took two bottles of drinks from Captain Shen's cabinet filled with water and energy drinks.
Of course, the two bottles of drinks were for her and Shen Yijing, one each.
Shen Yijing inexplicably felt that she was treating him with her own things.
"Your cabinet is really rich and simple." Jiang Yunu twisted the bottle cap while sighing at Captain Shen's reserve reservoir - the built-in cold storage cabinet that took up an entire wall actually only contained two items: water and energy drinks.
Even energy drinks have a single basic flavor without any added edible flavorings, and they taste a bit like natural bananas.
“Sorry.” Shen Yijing also took a sip of the drink, and he said in a flat tone, “I am such a falsely rich person.”
Jiang Yunu was unsure whether Captain Shen was a little self-deprecating.
So she gulped down half a bottle of drink, pretending that her mouth was temporarily full and she had no time to talk.
The tip of her tongue still had a faint banana flavor. Jiang Yunu casually licked a drop of water from the corner of her mouth. Across from her, Shen Yijing very elegantly took out a tissue to wipe her mouth. It seemed that he was going to take one for her as well, but when he looked up and saw her licking her lips, the extra tissue was silently taken away by the other party.
"I came to talk to you about 'potions'."
Without any preparation, Jiang Yunu started the topic directly.
She concealed her specific identity information and did not immediately explain her relationship with the people involved in the incident. She simply told Shen Yijing: "The potion is indeed transported from the back star area to the front star area. Or to be more precise - the production starting point of the potion is the eighth district, and the main transportation route is the gray-black route."
Shen Yijing's fingers on the energy drink bottle tightened slightly.
The eighth district is under the jurisdiction of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association.
Shen Yijing had certainly heard about the suspected origin of the "medicine" at the border of the Eighth District through family channels. However, before this, adults were very particular about leaving room for maneuver when speaking, using words like "maybe," "seems," "perhaps"... in short, they would add a string of ambiguous words.
And the white-haired girl in front of him was so determined.
"Are you sure?" Shen Yijing asked subconsciously.
"Sure."
"Why?" Shen Yijing's eyes fixed on Jiang Yunu's face, "What did you know?"
"Because they've been trying to transport it through the open road lately."
Jiang Yunu didn't waste any time and went on to talk about how a family in the seventh district that controlled the transportation routes was being coerced.
She still did not take the initiative to mention the information about Zhou Jinxue and her family. She knew that as long as Shen Yijing was willing to believe her, Captain Shen would definitely find a way to verify the matter himself.
Sometimes, leaving the other party space to check for themselves can actually gain their trust.
As soon as the Zhou family’s affairs were finished, Shen Yijing immediately frowned.
His eyebrows were the same black color as his hair, his skin was fair, and there was a groove between his smooth eyebrows.
Shen Yijing asked: "What about the family that was coerced...?"
Um?
Jiang Yunu was a little surprised, and her perception of Captain Shen was refreshed. She found that Captain Shen was not only not aloof, but also seemed to be full of humanity. His first reaction was to care about the victims of the incident, rather than the next move of those "merchants".
"They are currently doing well and are in a somewhat restricted but safe environment," Jiang Yunu said. "As long as they stay within the safe zone, their safety will be guaranteed."
Shen Yijing said, "But if the root cause of the problem is not addressed, forcing them to stay in the safe zone is no different from keeping them in a larger cage."
Jiang Yunu confirmed that Captain Shen's kindness was not something he did deliberately to maintain his image, and she smiled more sincerely: "So I came to you now, wanting to find a solution to the problem with you."
Jiang Yunu spoke frankly, "The Eighth District is under the jurisdiction of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association. I believe that handing this information to you will allow its value to be fully utilized."
Jiang Yunu still has no idea what kind of person Shen Yijing's father is, the powerful current president of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association, and has not yet had any contact with him.
However, judging from the son's appearance, she felt that Shen Yijing was okay. He did not have an overly direct sense of class superiority, which showed that he came from a well-educated family that at least required him to be orderly and polite.
Jiang Yunu intuitively felt that Shen Yijing's elders were not bad people.
“…Thank you for your trust.” Shen Yijing finally said solemnly.
He may have tried to act more casual and friendly, not wanting his conversation with Jiang Yunu to be filled with social courtesies. However, due to the habits he had developed in his bones, he still spoke as if he was socializing in a formal occasion.
The only variable is whether the people he socializes with are that serious or not.
There wasn't even a chair for guests in Shen Yijing's practice room. There were only various equipment arranged in an orderly manner. Jiang Yunu sat on the floor next to a gravimeter, cross-legged, with an empty drink bottle placed beside her legs. She didn't look sloppy sitting on the floor, but just looked very casual.
She said, "Another thing is that the suppliers have revealed that one of their projects seems to have made a breakthrough. Many customers in the front-line areas are waiting for the 'new goods'. They are ready to switch from the hidden route to the open route. They seem very confident that there will be other forces to protect them on the open route."
Jiang Yunu shared everything that could be shared with Shen Yijing.
The world is sometimes magical. In many adventure stories, such a grand task as saving the world often falls on a group of students, allowing the youngest challengers to face the greatest difficulties.
So far, Jiang Yunu does not think that the challenge she will face is to "save the world". That sounds a bit far-fetched, and the scene map does not seem to be limited to the campus.
But she could at least be certain that the series of events she had encountered, all pointing to the same destination, must not be that simple.
Shen Yijing is very executive. On the night Jiang Yunu found him, he called his father.
Poor President Shen was surprised when he first received the internal family communication. He was a little surprised without showing it, thinking that this was a rare family parenting time initiated by his son.
When President Shen answered the phone, he deliberately cleared his throat and prepared to inquire about Shen Yijing's progress in the competition in a proper and friendly manner, comment on and affirm the recent performance of the Duma school team, and then ask about his son's daily life.
——As a result, Chen Yijing came up and talked about business, making his dream of parent-child night chat like a soap bubble, "pop" and burst.
Professionals do professional things.
The information that Jiang Yunu obtained from Zhou Jinxue and then conveyed to President Shen was indeed worth a fortune in the hands of the other party.
"New goods? Escort? Buyers from the upper three districts?" President Shen did not frown. His expression was much calmer than that of a child who had not yet learned to completely hide his emotions.
President Shen picked out three key words from Shen Yijing’s report, and then he continued to tell his son: “I know.”
“I know” means that action will be taken immediately.
Their whole family are people with high execution ability.
However, there was one thing President Shen wanted to confirm with his son: "Do you completely trust your source of information, ensure that every word is true and reliable, and are you willing to take responsibility for it?"
Shen Yijing said: “I trust her completely.”
President Shen paused for a second on the phone.
"May I have the honor to ask who the other person is?" President Shen said, "Is it someone I know?"
President Shen also took the initiative to circle a reference range.
Shen Yijing said: “You don’t know her, she is from the Seventh District.”
President Shen said "Oh" thoughtfully.
Considering that the two of them had just discussed a topic related to the rear star regions, and that the "Seventh Region" was indeed a sensitive factor, President Shen pondered for a moment: "Then this person who I don't know and is from the Seventh Region, and who brought you accurate information, is he..."
Shen Yijing: “No.”
President Shen: “…”
President Shen said: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"I know you haven't finished." Shen Yijing didn't sound sorry for interrupting his father.
He said stubbornly, "I just want to tell you, no matter what speculation you have, such as whether she's involved in the pharmaceutical incident, or whether she's been exposed to pharmaceuticals in District 7, or whether she's been involved in the pharmaceutical industry chain, etc., I will answer 'no' to any of your speculations."
President Shen: “…”
President Shen: "Okay, I understand."
His son's attitude towards this "source of information" seemed a bit strange, but checking the information was the top priority, and President Shen would check everything that needed to be checked.
Let’s put this matter aside for now.
On the other side, Jiang Yunu was not idle either.
After Shen Yijing, she had another person she had chosen to share the news with—Su Xiuchun.
In Jiang Yunu's heart, Coach Su was considered a distinguished senior, a benefactor who had helped her achieve a higher grade in her studies. However, she had heard that Su Xiuchun had been very busy for some time, so busy that he had almost no time for a personal life. He was traveling between different branches of the Spirit Deer Psychic Association in the Seventh District, seemingly investigating something.
Jiang Yunu had previously felt that she shouldn't bother Coach Su with such "small matters", but now, she felt that the scattered clues on her side, put together, had already pieced together the outlines of a big event.
It seems unreasonable not to reveal these things to the elders whom I trust and ask for their advice.
Su Xiuchun was so busy that he wanted to split and replicate on the spot, but he still had time to answer Jiang Yunu's call.
Jiang Yunu called the other party on video and found that today Coach Su was not lying on a sofa in a "misshapen" state, but was sitting upright.
It was as if the other party was busy with some work just before picking up the call.
"Coach Su." Jiang Yunu greeted the other party.
Su Xiuchun had limited time, so he was more direct in his words: "I guess you didn't just call me to say hello because you suddenly missed me in the middle of the night."
If President Shen could hear what Coach Su said, he would definitely suspect that he was being implied.
Jiang Yunu said: "Indeed not. I have something very important to report."
Su Xiuchun didn't let Jiang Yunu continue speaking immediately, but gently made a "hush" gesture.
Ye Li, the one who worked for Coach Su and was older than him, passed by Su Xiuchun in a neat uniform.
A moment later, Inspector Ye Li's voice came from outside the camera frame: "The shielding device is turned on."
Su Xiuchun then tapped the table lightly, signaling to the tactful white-haired girl who was waiting patiently across from him: "Go on."
Jiang Yunu said everything he wanted to say in a flash.
Because he had previously shared the information with Shen Yijing, it was like doing an advance summary exercise, and this time Jiang Yunu spoke more clearly and concisely.
She tried her best not to waste too much of Su Xiuchun's time.
After hearing this, Su Xiuchun's back, which was rarely straight in the chair, seemed to tense slightly for a moment, and he sat up even straighter.
"How do you know so many details?" Su Xiuchun had just finished asking when a sudden realization crossed his face. He then figured out the key point. "Oh, yes, they're targeting the Zhou family, and they only have one daughter. You and she once competed in a junior inter-school competition, so you two have a good relationship."
Coach Su really knew what happened in the seventh district.
Jiang Yunu did not ask why Su Xiuchun was in the seventh district but did not help Zhou Jinxue's family - how could she conclude in advance that Coach Su did not help the seniors?
The seventh district is so large, and each district has several cities. It is very likely that Su Xiuchun is busy like a top because of the things she wants to investigate.
Instead, Su Xiuchun mentioned the Zhou family. She took the initiative to say, "Luckily, we somehow managed to obtain the A-grade crystal core that the Zhou family desperately needed. When we got the intelligence that the Zhou family was trapped, the most critical issue wasn't driving away the guys surrounding them, but how to quickly obtain an A-grade crystal core to help their family members alleviate the problem of being forcibly injected with the drug."
When Jiang Yunu heard the words "I don't know how to get it", his eyebrows twitched, and he thought that the confidentiality of the Ole family's transportation was well-deserved. Even Coach Su didn't know where the crystal core from the senior sister's family came from.
But Su Xiuchun was video chatting with her.
Coach Su was very observant and suddenly caught the subtle expression that flashed across Jiang Yunu's face.
"...Wait a minute?" Su Xiuchun said, "That crystal core that looks like a magical weapon from heaven, could it be related to you?"
Jiang Yunu said, "Oh, is this related to me?"
