Chapter 168 Xia Yu’s Plot

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was amiss.

Although Sister Yuan's personality was a bit brash, she didn't have many friends. Otherwise, her relationship with him, who was once a dependent, wouldn't be so good.

It was because they lived together that Sister Yuan came into contact with him, and their relationship improved. If they were outside, Sister Yuan would always keep her distance from people at work.

"This guy, could he have been sent by the higher-ups specifically to approach Sister Yuan?"

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yue didn't say much. He just told Sister Yuan that he would be going to Haiyu City in the next few days and wouldn't be staying in Jianghai City.

"Ah? But I heard it's very dangerous outside! Is it too risky for us to go to the next city now?"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Fang Yue smiled slightly. With him around, he wouldn't let any bizarre creatures harm Sister Yuan in the slightest.

"Haiyu City, can you, can you take me with you?"

Just then, Pao Ru, who was in the next bed, suddenly asked cautiously, blinking her eyes as she looked at Fang Yue.

"I'll ask the Grand President and the others."

Fang Yue's tone immediately became indifferent.

The headquarters of the Lian Shou Association wasn't a place where just anyone could be taken.

If he wanted to take someone from the headquarters, he still had to ask the people above for their opinion.

This was different from him taking Sister Yuan away.

After confirming that Sister Yuan was okay, Fang Yue told her to get her checkup done and return to her room to rest early.

Just then, Qiu Dugu returned, so Fang Yue went back to find Qiu Dugu.

After Fang Yue left, the two girls began to whisper.

"That guy is the A-Yue you mentioned? He's a little different from what you said."

"He wasn't like this before, but then he encountered some things..."

Sister Yuan didn't continue. She still couldn't let go of Bai Xiaoya's death.

"Hmm... is that so? Anyway, if you're going to Haiyu City, take me with you. I've wanted to go back to my hometown and have a look for a long time."

"Sure, sure, I'll have A-Yue talk to them. It should be fine. A-Yue seems to be some kind of cadre in the Lian Shou Association. He has a pretty high status."

"That's great!"

Pao Ru clapped her hands happily, but when Sister Yuan was called to get her medical report, Pao Ru's eyes suddenly became as still and calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Great, I've successfully approached the target.

Master Xia Xiyu, I will definitely complete the mission!

...

Lian Shou Association, laboratory.

A middle-aged man with drooping ears, wearing a large Bagua robe, was staring at the data jumping on the screen, frowning in thought.

Suddenly, with a bang, the door was pushed open.

"Second President?!"

The drooping-eared man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said respectfully.

"How's the situation? Have you analyzed anything?"

"The situation... is hard to say. According to the blood we extracted, the analysis shows that Fang Yue is just an ordinary person, with nothing special about him."

"Ordinary person?"

The Second President immediately raised his voice.

"An ordinary person who killed a cheater? Are you sure you know what you're doing? We tested the guiwu (bizarre object) that Fang Yue used at the time. Other people holding it don't have the effect of enhancing their physique! So the problem is with Fang Yue himself, understand?"

"I know, I know the situation, but the result of the research is that Fang Yue is just an ordinary person. Anyone holding a gun to his head can easily kill him!"

"...Really?"

"Really!"

"It seems we were wrong. Maybe his blood or body tissues only produce strong changes when he's fighting. We should install monitoring equipment on him."

"Install monitoring equipment... How can we do that? He's very wary of our people..."

"We don't need to take action. Just let that Sister Yuan 'help'. Then let him encounter danger and unleash his strength at that time, understand?"

"...I understand. I'll make the arrangements."

"Good, remember, next time, I want to see the data!"

The Second President left.

He had originally thought that by obtaining Fang Yue's blood, he could create more warriors by researching it.

The scene of Fang Yue killing the cheater had left a great shock on him. That kind of power was exactly what they needed. If it could be mass-produced.

Then, the upcoming crisis and the problem of the cheaters awakening would no longer be problems!

"We must find a way to get Fang Yue's secret!"

...

Back in his room, Fang Yue took out his phone and glanced at it again. Wei Ba still hadn't replied to his message.

As for Qiu Dugu, he had already met him.

After telling Qiu Dugu about the situation, he didn't need to worry about the rest. Qiu Dugu could handle this kind of thing for him.

Looking at the night, Fang Yue estimated that Jing Yan and Qing Chen should have already returned, so he lay down on the bed and entered the game.

He hoped that the two of them could bring back some useful information.

He closed the door tightly, not allowing the two guards to open it casually.

Only then did Fang Yue enter the game.

Back in the game, just like in reality, it was already night.

However, being in the Seventh Prince's mansion, there was no shortage of human soul lamps around, so even at night it was as bright as day.

Just the stone roads laid on the ground, with fluorescent beads inlaid every few steps, were enough to provide brightness and dispel the cold night.

Fang Yue, who had returned to the game, was still sitting in the pavilion, motionless, just like when he had logged out.

Only his lifeless eyes had regained their luster.

"Xiao Ye, you're back."

"Yeah."

Fang Yue nodded slightly as he glanced at Lin Ling.

He knew that since he had logged off, Lin Ling had been guarding him, never leaving his side, keeping him safe.

Unfortunately, no one could protect him like this in reality, otherwise he wouldn't have to stay at the Lian Shou Association headquarters and still worry about something happening.

Butler Ke and the others had already left, leaving only some maids and guards by his side.

Seeing Fang Yue 'awaken', some servants immediately retreated to report to Butler Ke.

Fang Yue didn't pay attention to them and asked Lin Ling directly, "Where are Jing Yan and Qing Chen?"

Lin Ling's expression stiffened slightly, and she turned her face slightly, saying in a low voice, "They... haven't returned yet."

Haven't returned yet?!

Fang Yue's expression suddenly changed.

"What do you mean? They haven't returned yet?"

"Yes, after you entered a trance state, I had the butler keep an eye on the entrance. If Jing Yan and Qing Chen returned, he would notify us immediately. But until it got dark and night fell, we didn't wait for their return."

"..."

Fang Yue was silent, his face gradually darkening.

"We'll go find Butler Ke."

Just as Fang Yue finished speaking, he saw Butler Ke walking over from a distance.

"Master Ye, Master Lin, dinner is ready, you can eat now."

"Eat? I'm not in the mood to eat right now! Answer me, Jing Yan and Qing Chen, have they really not returned since dusk?"
