Chapter 334: Investigating — Chen Yu (7)
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
“Tomorrow at 9 am, take a plane to Shanghai…”
In a remote hotel in Qingcheng.
With a bang, Duan Ye closed his laptop and became excited.
Through technical means, he entered the background of the flight attendant system and found the information of Chen Yu’s flight subscription.
This also proved that the time for him and Chen Yu to have a showdown was finally here.
“If you’re not willing to join the Fair Association, at least let me kill you personally.”
Standing up, Duan Ye took a deep breath. “If I can’t kill you, then kill me…”
As his status in the Black-Robed Sect of the Fair Association grew higher and higher, he came into contact with more and more secrets.
His thinking, knowledge, information, and even personality… had all undergone a huge change.
The hatred from before had faded.
The memories from before had blurred.
But only his feelings for Chen Yu remained clear.
“Brother Yu.”
“Please don’t disappoint me…”
…
“Chen Yu, you’ve really disappointed me.”
In the living room of the residential area.
Chen Siwen’s face was filled with grief. “It’s only been a few days since we settled down, and you’re motherf*cking going out again?”
“Shh, don’t swear.” Mother Chen sat on the sofa at the side. “Talk about his father.”
Chen Siwen: “…You’re fatherf*cking is going out again?”
“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded. “I’m sorry, the world needs…”
“Bullsh*t! Every day, the fatherf*cking’s world needs you, the world needs you. Even if the world is blind and chooses you…” Chen Siwen flew into a rage and pointed at the BB on Chen Yu’s back. “At least it won’t choose a child, right? Why are you taking her away?”
Chen Yu: “She’s my partner.”
Mother Chen put down the teacup and raised her hand. “Her partner is in kindergarten.”
“Grandma, Sister, I want to go with Lord Human,” BB said in a childish voice.
“This isn’t a vacation!” Chen Siwen went forward and hugged the BB, pulling her out. “You’re not allowed to go.”
BB hugged Chen Yu’s neck tightly and refused to let go. “Go. I want to go.”
“Go where? You still have a hard time going to kindergarten.”
“Sis,” Chen Yu explained slowly, “These are troubled times. My mother told me from a young age that children in troubled times are early masters.”
Mother Chen: “I didn’t say that.”
“You did. I remember that it was the sixty-second time we met, and you actually forgot.”
“Don’t play this game with me.” Mother Chen stood up and joined the team fighting for BB. “Just this bullsh*t, your father used to play it badly back then.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Get down here!” Seeing that BB was like caramel stuck firmly to Chen Yu’s body, Chen Siwen was furious. She exploded with strength and hugged BB’s chest. “Get down!”
RIP!
BB was dragged away.
At the same time, she also tore off Chen Yu’s new windbreaker.
Chen Yu: “…”
Chen Siwen hugged BB tightly. “Pervert.”
Chen Yu: “…”
There was a moment of silence.
Chen Yu sighed and went back to the bedroom to change his clothes. He said to the mother and daughter, “Alright, since you don’t want me to bring BB, then I’ll go by myself.”
“Hurry up and leave.” Chen Siwen chased him away with disdain.
“This is the apocalypse. Bringing a child along to take risks with you, won’t your conscience hurt?” Mother Chen frowned.
“Okay, okay.”
Nodding his head repeatedly, Chen Yu carried his ‘Indestructible Diamond’ bag on his back and left in a carefree manner.
After walking out of the unit door, he finally could not suppress his excitement and clapped his hands happily.
“Mr. Lu Xun is not lying to me.”
“The temperament of the Chinese people always likes to reconcile and compromise.”
“If I want to go out, my family will definitely not allow it. But if I say to bring BB, they will come to reconcile and are willing to let me go by myself…”
He adjusted his backpack straps.
Chen Yu was very pleased with himself. He took out his phone and looked at the time.
There were still two hours left before the 9:00 flight.
“I’m not in a hurry. Let’s go and see Sister Qi. It’s on the way anyway.”
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu took a step forward and left his own neighborhood.
Shanghai.
It was a city that he almost went to every time, but he never made it.
This time, he was finally going to step into the ‘core’ of humanity.
“Shanghai…”
“Besides finding Zhen Congming to level up to Level 3, I should find a chance to learn Bahuang Yi’s [Psychic Lock of Dense Luck].”
Thinking about his plan for the future, Chen Yu soon arrived at Elm Street where Sister Qi’s cigarette shop was located.
However, just as he was about to enter, he saw the stationery shop next door. He was stunned and slapped his head. A certain idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
Quickening his pace, Chen Yu passed by the cigarette shop without entering and walked straight into the stationery shop.
“Welcome.”
The bespectacled girl sitting behind the counter smiled so hard that the corner of her mouth almost touched her ear. “Handsome Chen Yu.”
Pa.
Walking to the counter, Chen Yu slammed his hands on the table with a serious expression. “You know everything, don’t you?”
“As long as you have money, I know everything.”
“Very good.” Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. “Then do you know Zhen Congming?”
“Of course I know him. He’s a professor at Tsinghua University.” The bespectacled girl rubbed her hands excitedly. “Aren’t you looking for Zhen Congming’s location? Heh, four Bitcoins.”
“I don’t have any Bitcoins. Just tell me how much it is.”
“Awesome.” The bespectacled girl stuck out a finger. “Since the handsome guy is awesome, then I’m awesome too. I’ll give you an entire sum, 1.1 million!”
Chen Yu: “…Four 260,000. It’s obviously 1.04 million. How much are you going to raise?”
“Ah…” The bespectacled girl scratched her head. “I made a mistake. Then I won’t raise it. Just give me 1.05 million.”
“It’s 1,040,000.”
“Each Bitcoin is a little more than 260,000. A little more than four makes 1,050,000.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu was annoyed.
He did not want to waste time with this woman. He dialed Ma Li’s number directly.
Du —
“Hello?” Ma Li’s voice sounded from the receiver. “Brother Yu, what’s up?”
“Something’s up. Can you transfer me 1.05 million yuan?”
“Eh? Brother Yu, why do you keep asking for money recently? Are you addicted to gambling?”
“Impossible!” Chen Yu said seriously. “I, Chen Yu, have always been at odds with gambling and drugs.”
“…Alright, I’ll transfer it to you right away.”
“Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me for our relationship. Just return me 10 billion yuan when the time comes.”
Chen Yu said, “I can give it to you… I’m just afraid that you won’t have the life to spend it.”
Ma Li said, “Is it that exciting?”
“Alright, I’ll hang up now. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Wait a moment!” Ma Li lowered her voice. “Brother Yu, are you going out again?”
“Yes.”
“Do you need me and my sister to follow you?”
“No need, I’ll go by myself.”
“I understand then. Contact me if there’s anything.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu stood in front of the counter and waited quietly for two minutes.
With a crisp ‘ding’ sound, 1,050,000 yuan was received.
Chen Yu glanced at the bespectacled girl without hesitation.
“Okay.”
The bright light in the bespectacled girl’s eyes seemed to light up the entire room for a moment through the reflection of the mirror.
“Can you tell me where Professor Zhen Congming is now?” Chen Yu asked.
“Of course.” The bespectacled girl nodded heavily. “If you pay, you are god. Zhen Congming is not in Shanghai, so there is no need for you to go.”
“…” Chen Yu clenched his fists subconsciously. “You are indeed investigating me.”
“Cheh.” The bespectacled girl took off her glasses and rolled her eyes at Chen Yu. “You really take yourself seriously.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Professor Zhen is in Zang City, Zang District, 63 Zhongping Street. Go ahead.”
“…Is it that accurate?”
“Of course.”
“Professor Zhen is from Tsinghua University, and judging from his accent, he is also a native of Beijing.” Chen Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Why did he go to Zang District, so far away?”
“Do you want to know?” The bespectacled girl smiled. “Give me four more Bitcoins.”
“…I just want to know if you’re giving me false information.”
“I’ve been here for two or three years, and I’m not leaving. If I give you false information, you can tear my mouth apart.”
“…Okay.” Chen Yu gave the bespectacled girl a middle finger and turned to leave. “If what you said is fake, I may not just tear your mouth apart.”
“You’re welcome to come again next time.”
Walking out of the stationery store, Chen Yu knew Professor Zhen Congming’s ‘possible’ real address, so he lost the desire to knock on Sister Qi’s door.
He searched through his phone.
He found that the fastest flight to Zang City was three days later.
And it had to be through a connecting flight.
In terms of the railway, the speed could be described as ‘unbearable to look at’. It was not as fast as Chen Yu’s ‘race walking’.
“Then, there’s only the land route left.”
“Express Delivery?”
As he thought of this, Chen Yu rubbed his tired temples, flagged down a taxi, and sat in the back seat.
“Young man, where do you want to go… F*ck! Chen Yu?”
The driver’s originally indifferent expression immediately tensed up. “F*ck! Are you Chen Yu? F*ck!”
Chen Yu: “…”
“It… It really is Chen Yu!” The driver was pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly took out a pen and paper and handed it to Chen Yu. “Chen Yu, you’re the pride of Qingcheng! My daughter really likes you. Can you give my daughter an autograph?”
“Get to the point.” Chen Yu was serious.
“Wh… What point?”
“How old is your daughter?”
“…Nine years old.”
Chen Yu: “…Alright, where do I sign?”
“In the notebook, just in the notebook.” The driver was excited.
Taking the pen and paper, he left a line of ‘grass crawling’ in a lively manner. Chen Yu handed it back and scratched his ear. “Am I that popular now?”
“Of course.” The driver nodded like pecking rice. “People call you the second…”
Chen Yu: “Bahuang Yi?”
The driver: “The second Gou Sheng.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu cursed, “F*ck! What the h*ll is Gou Sheng? Why am I the second Gou Sheng?”
“Because back then, Gou Sheng also won the first place in the elimination round of the Global University Tournament as a nobody.” The driver was serious.
Chen Yu: “…”
“In short, Chen Yu, you are the representative of our Qingcheng City.” As he spoke, the driver picked up his WeChat QR code. “Work hard! For this order… I will deduct two yuan for you.”
“Thank you, Master. You are too generous.”
“You are welcome.”
He stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Chen Yu leaned back in his seat and looked at the scenery outside the window for a while. Suddenly, he could not resist his curiosity and clicked on his phone to search for [Chen Yu Tieba].
The moment he entered, he simply swiped on the screen and rows of ‘shocking’ titles appeared.
[Looks like Chen Yu is dead.]
[Hanging Yu is dead.]
[Big news! Hanging Yu’s corpse has been found!]
[Refuting rumors! Hanging Yu did not die in the capital, but in Shanghai! Like for heroes!]
[Poor Bahuang Yao, she’s a widow.]
[Chen Yu’s sexy private photo, click on it.]
[So he died without showing up? A bunch of idiots…]
[Heaven is jealous of geniuses.]
[Just saying, if Chen Yu grows up, he definitely won’t be inferior to Bahuang Yi.]
[Have you heard? Chen Yu was created by the country through donkey genes…]
Chen Yu: “…”
“F*ck.”
“Crazy.”
Chen Yu angrily turned off his phone.
However, after a short while, he went to Weibo to check what people thought of him.
Putting aside the worry that people had about his life and death…
The fans were mostly discussing his talent.
With a strength that was not even Level 2, he had become the champion of the elimination round of the Global University Tournament! If it were not for Bahuang Yi, he would definitely have been promoted to godhood in this round!
There were even quite a few experts and professors from universities who used video to seriously analyze Chen Yu’s physical fitness and combat strength.
Yiran had formed a small circle with Chen Yu as the leader of academics and fans.
“So… I’m so awesome.”
Using his long robe to wipe the sweat off his palms, Chen Yu couldn’t help but retreat to the general interface of Weibo. He glanced up and was stunned.
The number one trending topic on Weibo was [Shanghai’s Saviour • Mikami Youya]
The number of searches, interactions, retweets, and clicks on it was two times more than the number two to ten combined…
It could be considered as the focal point of the entire human race!
As for his own ranking… it was 127th.
“Emm.”
Chen Yu put on a fake smile. “As expected, the best brand is a fake…”
“We’re here.” At this moment, the car slowly stopped. The driver turned his head and said respectfully, “Be careful when you get out of the car.”
“Oh.” Chen Yu returned to his senses and waved at the driver. Then, he pushed the door open and got out of the car. “Fate has brought us together.”
“Actually, we’re quite fated. We’ve already met for the second time.” The driver smiled.
Chen Yu: “?”
“Do you still remember when Qingcheng was attacked by the Beast Tide?” The driver drove the taxi away slowly. “At that time, you and your mother went to No. 7 High School. I was the one who drove you.”
Then.
The butt of the car became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared in the morning mist.
Only Chen Yu was left standing where he was, with complicated emotions.
“It’s really… Magical.”
Shaking his head and throwing away the wild thoughts in his mind, Chen Yu turned around and walked to the city gate.
“Sir, if you are going out of the city, please show me your ID card.” The police officers guarding both sides of the city gate stepped forward.
“Here.”
“Okay.”
After the scan was completed, the police officer handed his ID card back. “Have a safe journey.”
“Thank you… Oh, right.” After taking the ID card, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. “I remember that when I entered and left the city, you didn’t check my identity anymore.”
“The authorities re-stabilized the situation, so they checked everything again.”
“Okay. Then, do you know who I am?”
The police officer said, “Whoever you want, hurry up and leave. Don’t block the others.”
Chen Yu: “…”
After leaving the city gate, Chen Yu rubbed his chin in embarrassment.
“I’m famous.”
“But I’m not completely famous yet…”
Following the signs outside the city, Chen Yu walked quickly. In just one minute, he reached the stopping point of the ‘Tailwind Express’ convoy.
It was different from the Zhongtong Express Delivery convoy.
The Tailwind convoy’s vehicles were all painted red.
Looking from afar, they were extremely eye-catching.
This was also a symbol of strength!
This was because in the wild, red was far more reflective than black, and it could attract the attention of exotic beasts.
“Sigh.”
“Damn it, I’m taking the express delivery again. It’s so annoying.”
Plane, high-speed train, and express delivery convoy.
Of these three modes of transportation, there was no doubt that he hated the express delivery the most.
That was because every time he took the express delivery, he would be ‘secretly harmed’.
There were no exceptions!
“So…”
“Zhongtong, get lost.”
“I want to take the Tailwind this time!”
After completing the ticket purchase at the speed of light, Chen Yu swaggered onto the passenger train of the Tailwind convoy.
As soon as he stepped into the train, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
On the sofa in the middle of the passenger train, he saw an ‘extremely familiar’ figure holding a ‘silicone doll’.
— The bearded captain of Zhongtong Express…
Chen Yu: “…”
The bearded captain: “…”
Chen Yu: “It’s you again?!”
The bearded captain: “It’s you again?!”
“…”
“Are you done?!” x2
