Chapter 206 Life is a Play (2)

Looking at Wen Chan's expression, he knew that she had forgotten about him. He took off the mask on his face, revealing that aggressive, standard domineering face of a handsome CEO.

"it's me."

Wen Chan narrowed her eyes, looked at him for two seconds, then reached out and put on his mask.

"Brother, I'm even less impressed when you take off your mask."

He looks a little familiar with the mask on, but I really don’t know who he is without the mask.

Qin Ji put on his mask and replied patiently, "I, Qin Ji."

"Ah! Boss Qin! I was wondering if you looked like an old acquaintance with me. It turns out it's really you!"

She quickly looked through her friend list, found the name Qin Ji, and clicked on it to view their previous chat history.

It was the boss who gave her money readily when she first entered the dungeon.

"It's great to meet you here..."

Wen Chan remembered everything and reached out to say hello to him until a policeman pulled her back from behind.

"If you have anything to say, come to the bureau and talk!"

Wen Chan smiled at Qin Ji with an apologetic look on her face, then got into the police car.

Qin Ji realized that this person had almost forgotten about him.

As someone he had known since his novice days, Qin Ji remembered him very clearly.

He also got into the police car and waited for investigation.

Men and women were seated separately.

Wen Chan roughly counted and found that there were not many people coming this time, only five, including her, two girls.

The girl who had stood up to argue with Mrs. Wu before was called Pang Li. Now she was standing with her arms folded across her chest in righteousness, and was blocked in the middle by the policeman and Wen Chan.

"My words may be a little harsh, but it was that old woman who spoke harshly first!"

She is still angry about this matter. "We come here to travel and help boost your economy. If you treat us like this, who would want to come here in the future?"

"To be honest, the five of you here won't add much to the economy."

The policeman didn't buy her talk at all. "As long as you are fine, you can leave after giving your statement. Why make things so unpleasant? Learn from your companions and be quiet."

I'm really tired of listening to it.

Hearing this, Pang Li turned around and looked at Wen Chan unhappily.

He stared at her for a while, but finally said nothing.

When she, a girl, stood up first, Wen Chan also followed her and said something to the old woman.

She didn't want to say anything more.

The three men, on the other hand, were not in a hurry at all.

...

When they arrived at the police station, they saw the parents of the missing child, who were crying breathlessly in the police station.

It looks like there are two households.

When they saw them being captured, they rushed up one by one as if they were shocked, "Is it you? You damn human traffickers! Ah! Give me back my child!"

The two mothers rushed over and punched the male player closest to them.

Unfortunately, that male player was Qin Ji.

Even wearing a mask and a hat, you can tell that he doesn't look very good at the moment.

He said coldly: "Do you have any evidence? If not, then just hit me a few times and I can hire a lawyer to talk to you."

The superior's aura successfully frightened the two mothers.

The two of them silently let go of each other's hands, took a few steps back, and started crying again.

The police then came out to smooth things over and took the five players to the interrogation room separately.

There is a plot given by the system, and everyone explains the situation according to the plot.

When did you come, where do you live, what have you done in the past few days, and who saw it?

Some basic questions.

Because it is an ancient town, there are not many modern things. There are no cameras installed in the town, and even cars are not allowed to enter without permission.

The police sent people to question the people in the town and confirmed that what they said was true, that the timeline did not match the child's disappearance, and that they had no motive for committing the crime, and only then did they release them.

After coming out of the police station, the five people stood at the door of the police station and looked at their watches first.

The task of clearing suspicion has been completed.

No other tasks popped up after that.

It seems to end here.

Several people didn't quite understand this.

They turned their heads to look at each other, then looked away.

After a moment, one of the boys said, "I think this is fishy."

The boy's name is Jiao Si. He looks to be in his twenties, and he looks young and energetic, having just graduated from college.

He looked at everyone and said, "It's like this. Since we were divided into tour groups and sent here, it means that the system definitely hopes that we can cooperate."

"Would the five of us like to... cooperate wholeheartedly?"

He emphasized the words "absolute sincerity" with great emphasis, and it was obvious that he was scared by the so-called teammates in previous dungeons.

But even though he encountered a lot of scammers, he still couldn't help but look for someone to cooperate with when he got to the next copy.

"Tell me what you think." asked another boy.

He also looked to be in his twenties.

The players this time are all very young. Just as Pang Li said before, at their age, the rich ones are rich, the good-looking ones are good-looking, and if they want children they can have them themselves. Why would they run to such a remote place to kidnap children?
Nothing to do after eating.

When Jiao Si heard what he said, he shook his head and said, "Hey, if you don't cooperate, why should I talk to you? I'm really afraid that someone will get the information and then stab me."

"There are only five of us, is it that serious?" another boy said disdainfully.

Jiao Si didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned his gaze to Wen Chan and others who had been silent.

Wen Chan was about to speak when her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Walk."

Qin Ji dragged her away without looking back.

Wen Chan was not given a chance to speak, nor was the other three given a chance to react.

Jiao Si was stunned at first, then shrugged, "You see, if I say anything more to someone who is unwilling to cooperate, I will also suffer."

...

"Boss Qin doesn't want to cooperate with them?" Wen Chan was dragged by him and walked backwards.

In her opinion, cooperation is sometimes desirable.

"I also doubt what he doubts. There's no need to bring some burdens along just because of a well-known answer." Qin Ji explained coldly.

Wen Chan was a little confused, "Ah? What are you all doubting? Am I the only one who doesn't know?"

Qin Ji: "..."

He suddenly let go of Wen Chan's hand, took two steps back, and looked at Wen Chan face to face. Seeing that Wen Chan was indeed confused, Qin Ji also felt a little unconfident.

He frowned and asked uncertainly: "I remember you... aren't you an intelligence dealer? Why? Don't you want to do this job anymore?" Wen Chan suddenly realized, "Oh~ So the reason you don't want to cooperate with others but are willing to drag me along is because I'm an intelligence dealer?"

Qin Ji: "What else?"

Wen Chan smiled: "Boss Qin is really realistic."

Qin Ji: "It's not like I won't pay."

"Well, I like straightforward people like Boss Qin!" Wen Chan patted his shoulder, then immediately moved closer and raised her hand, "V-ing me 50 first to see my strength?"

Qin Ji: "..."

He glanced at Wen Chan with a sidelong glance, his expression showing extraordinary disdain.

He pushed Wen Chan away a little, straightened his clothes, and changed the subject, "Jiao Si probably wants to talk about the problem with the plot given by the system."

This is a very obvious thing, and you will know it if you watch the plot carefully.

Wen Chan didn't notice this. He thought Wen Chan had become incompetent, so he took the initiative to remind her.

Wen Chan blinked at him, motioning him to continue.

Qin Ji took a deep breath and said patiently: "Although we were assigned identities, we actually arrived here a few days late."

"From what the lady said before, we came here a few days ago. But the system didn't mention what we did here a few days ago. It's a small ancient town, and we should be able to visit it in two or three days. But we came here at this time, and we can neither leave nor have any obvious tasks. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

This mission is hidden very deeply.

Qin Ji was silent for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of the police station. "I think it might be related to the missing child."

"So, we have to find the child first, most likely."

Wen Chan touched his chin, his face serious, as if he was thinking about what he said.

"You are good at finding out things, go and check it out?" Qin Ji looked at her seriously.

Wen Chan: "Are you waiting for me here?"

Qin Ji put a hand on her shoulder, "Otherwise I wouldn't have come to you the first time."

When he entered the dungeon and saw that his teammates looked unreliable, he felt that he might be forced to carry four people at once again.

But when he turned around and saw Wen Chan, a familiar face, he suddenly felt that he was quite lucky.

It looks like she's increased her prices though.

Before it was v50, now it’s 50w.

It seems that she made a lot of money from the previous copy.

Qin Ji really doesn't like meeting these peers in their twenties. They are ambitious, always have their own ideas, and won't listen to anything you say.

So he really didn't want to discuss cooperation with these people. If things got out of hand, it would not be good for anyone. In comparison, Wen Chan, who had cooperated with him before and was very reliable, was easier to talk to.

As long as you have money, she can give you any information.

He needs someone who will do things for money, so he can feel very safe and won't have to worry about being backstabbed or anything like that.

"Actually, everything is easy to talk about, except for the price..." Wen Chan rubbed her fingers at him, "I'm very expensive recently, especially this kind of headless fly-like copy... It's hard to get it..."

[Qin Ji transfers 50 yuan to you. ]

"Ah! Thank you, boss! You gave me eight boys in one pregnancy! I'll go back to town to investigate now."

Wen Chan smiled and clenched her fist towards Qin Ji, then turned and ran away, fearing that he would go back on his word.

It seemed like she hadn't made this kind of money in a long time. With a generous boss, she could avoid many detours!

Qin Ji looked at her back, lowered the brim of his hat and followed her silently. They were going back to town together anyway.

ˉ
The two of them just arrived at the small hotel where they were staying and saw that the owner had already packed their luggage and placed it at the door.

"Go away, you are not welcome here!"

Wen Chan: “???”

Qin Ji: “???”

"Did we pay too little?" Wen Chan asked.

The hotel owner said, "That's not the case. We just don't want you to stay here anymore. Our hotel is too small to accommodate big Buddhas like you."

He had obviously heard something, so he started to chase the customers away.

Cangyang Town is not big. There is only this small hotel in the town. They have nowhere else to live if they leave here.

But they can't leave for the time being.

Wen Chan and Qin Ji looked at each other.

Suddenly, she saw Qin Ji winking at her.

When they turned around, they saw Mrs. Wu, who had argued with them before, standing not far away, eating melon seeds and staring at them with a smug smile.

There is no need to think about it, she must have been responsible for their being kicked out.

"Okay." Wen Chan raised her eyebrows, said nothing more, picked up her luggage and was about to leave.

Qin Ji frowned and was about to say something.

A middle-aged man hurried over from not far away, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? How can you drive our distinguished guest out?"

The man was wearing a suit that didn't fit him well, and he was running out of breath. He grabbed the suitcase in Wen Chan's hand.

"You two... huh~ I'm the mayor of this town. My last name is Liu. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house. It's quite big."

He snatched the suitcase from Wen Chan and invited her with a smile.

Wen Chan felt the strength of the hand that snatched the box from her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Mayor Liu twice more.

Although he looks ugly and weak, he is actually so strong.

Qin Ji pulled Wen Chan behind him and asked, "Why did you suddenly invite us?"

In this situation, an adult man is more likely to intimidate the other party.

Qin Ji understood very well and had no intention of letting Wen Chan take action.

"Oh, I heard that you are traveling from outside." Mayor Liu took Qin Ji's luggage and explained honestly, "It's like this, it's not for free, I have some requirements."

"Don't you young people like to play short videos or something? Can you promote our Cangyang Town and attract more tourists to visit?"

He also wants to boost tourism in his town.

Sometimes when I play with my phone and see other places crowded with people, making a lot of money in just a few days, it’s hard for Mayor Liu not to be jealous.

"We originally had this plan, but your people don't seem to welcome us."

Wen Chan lied with her eyes open behind Qin Ji.

Mayor Liu sighed, "Alas, they are ignorant. I will ask them to apologize to you! Wu Mei, come here and apologize!"

Wu Mei was the woman's name. When Mayor Liu turned around and called her, she had already run away.

There was only an innkeeper standing around awkwardly.

"Ah... I'm sorry, guests."

He stood up and apologized on behalf of Wu Mei.

Wen Chan curled the corner of his mouth. These people changed their expressions so quickly.

Since the mayor knew to ask Wu Mei to apologize to them, it means that he knew what Wu Mei had done to them before. I don't know why he changed his mind and suddenly invited them to live in his house.

"Okay, then I'll trouble the mayor to lead the way."

Before Wen Chan could say anything, Qin Ji had already agreed.
