Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1064: 650. Qing Chen’s inner guilt_2

He Jinqiu: “Now, I’ve started to sift through the massive Hu’s database and found a clue. The records in Hu’s database say, ‘City No. 10, Yuntong Street 183, a photo with neurotoxin expert Yuan Yang appeared, suspected to be the residence of a mistress and illegitimate child.’ We also had a plumber go into the woman’s house to fix a pipe and found this photo with that research expert purely by chance. She might have wanted to memorialize her deceased lover, not knowing someone would recognize that photo.”

He Jinqiu: “This matter is highly covert. The woman’s expenses are always in small cash denominations, and she lived very discreetly. Thinking back now, perhaps that neurotoxin expert knew once he did certain things, he’d be silenced, so he wiped any trace of his lover extremely clean.”

Yuan Yang.

Qing Chen was disappointed.

The person Shadow mentioned was not this name, at least not the one Shadow found in the end, the one who was silenced, Zhang Cheng.

He shook his head slightly disappointed: “This isn’t the person I’m looking for.”

He Jinqiu said, “I just wanted to prove through this matter that even if you’re the new owner of the Spy Bureau, Hu’s information agency is not entirely useless. And indeed, there’s something off about this Yuan Yang; otherwise, why hide the mistress so secretly?”

At this point, He Jinqiu was so worried Qing Chen would reject the deal that he spilled everything he knew at once.

Afraid Qing Chen would think this information was worthless…

To be honest, he had his subordinates soaking in the database for a whole seven days!

And Qing Chen suddenly thought.

What if Shadow’s direction was also wrong?

What he needed to do now wasn’t necessarily to continue following Shadow’s clues, after all, if even Shadow couldn’t find it, how confident could he be?

Qing Chen pondered that this clue came about entirely by accident, and Hu’s is indeed better at finding threads in these corners.

If the Spy Bureau’s infiltration direction focuses on the core of power, then Hu’s has a way of missing nothing in the nooks and crannies.

Moreover, whether he wants to find clues or achieve the Parents’ Meeting’s goals, Qing Chen must unite every force he can.

Qing Chen said, “Deal.”

He took out two leaves of Zhi Lanxing from his pocket and handed them over: “Seven days later, Boss He can come to collect next week’s.”

Qing Chen didn’t pay out a lot at once, partly because he just lied…

The other part was because he hoped He Jinqiu would bring new clues every week.

He Jinqiu smiled: “Pleasure doing business.”

Smiling exceptionally brightly.

However, the brighter Boss He’s smile, the more guilty Qing Chen felt…

After all, the other side talked until dry-mouthed for half a day, and in return, it was such a tiny thing on his side, it was a bit embarrassing.

Qing Chen asked: “Ah… let’s do this, to show my sincerity, Boss He can pick some Chicken Blood Sprout each time he comes. It’s not easy fighting abroad in Kyushu; having Chicken Blood Sprout on your side can help Kyushu members return alive to the homeland.”

Qing Chen grabbed two handfuls of Chicken Blood Sprout from the vegetable garden and stuffed them into each person’s hand: “Here, since you’re here, take a souvenir back!”

Zheng Yuandong was stunned for a moment: “Sorry, I misjudged you before.”

He Jinqiu nodded: “Thanks for that. Rest assured, this time Zheng and I are already on the battlefield, and we’ll do our best to protect you as we fight out together.”

Qing Chen felt he might be playing with fire, as both He Jinqiu and Boss Zheng were of incredibly high intelligence. They only suffered from information asymmetry and might realize at any moment.

He needed to think about how to wrap things up then.

Well, maybe later tell Boss He that the Agricultural College’s yield has increased, and he could offer a few more.

Qing Chen looked at Boss Zheng: “Boss He’s transaction is done, so what brings Boss Zheng here?”

Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment: “The Academy might need you to provide special plants soon. This time traveling, students are eager to take on Inner World tasks, so the World Within Society information they obtained is even more than last time. When students have a lot of points with nowhere to spend them, their enthusiasm may decrease.”

The truth is, when you have 3000 points but nothing you want to buy, you feel the points are useless.

And you won’t be as diligent in completing tasks.

This is also something Qing Chen didn’t want to see; he needed a lot of human and material resources to help the Parents’ Meeting move forward.

For instance, this time around, students formed small teams spontaneously and carefully conducted observation and surveillance work under the Academy’s theoretical guidance.

The result was that in the city with the most Time Travelers, City No. 10, a certain society boss going out to flirt got followed by over thirty people.

The boss was almost scared to death at the time, thinking some rival society was out to kill him, so he ran.

As soon as he ran, the students chased him.

When the students chased, he ran faster…

Scenes like this bordering on absurdity were common, almost causing several societies to fight prematurely.

Of course, there was some danger for the students too.

While absurd, upon return, Kunlun also remodeled the task system: only one team can accept tasks against a particular society.

However, this incident also demonstrated the importance of the students.
