Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

Chapter 77 The Pain of the Working Class

After dinner.

Jiang Shiyuan bid farewell to Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan and returned to his residence.

"Ding--"

Just as Jiang Shiyuan was idly scrolling through her phone, a message popped up.

Fatty: Shi Yuan, I think I have news about Qi Ye.

Fatty: It seems he's been locked up by the Night's Watch, but I need more time to investigate where exactly.

Jiang Shiyuan paused, her finger hovering over the page, unsure how to reply.

Actually, she had never lost contact with Baili Pangpang. She knew that Baili Pangpang was looking for Lin Qiye, but she did not tell him that Lin Qiye had been sent to the fasting center.

On the one hand, the news of Lin Qiye going to the fasting place should be kept secret; on the other hand, if she told Baili Pangpang about it, who knows what Baili Pangpang might do given his personality.

Thinking of Lin Qiye, Jiang Shiyuan felt a little worried.

Lin Qiye has only been in the fasting center for a few months, and we don't know how his treatment is going, but life inside is probably not easy. What if he wants to come out now?

Although Lin Qiye entered the mental hospital voluntarily, the fasting center was, after all, a place for imprisoning criminals, which restricted his personal freedom. It was easy for him to go in, but difficult for him to get out.

She sighed and her fingers twitched slightly.

Jiang Shiyuan: Then you can check it first.

Fatty: How about we go rescue Qiye together once I find out?

Fatty: Retrieve Princess Seven Nights from the evil dragon!

……

Jiang Shiyuan: Sorry, Fatty.

Jiang Shiyuan: I've been quite busy with work lately, so I might not be able to take time off.

……

Guangshen City.

As night fell and the city lights came on, the neon lights shone brightly against the night sky.

Amidst towering modern buildings, in the heart of the city, a soaring skyscraper stands on the most bustling street in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Standing atop this building, one can even overlook the city's skyline, as if the pulse of the entire city is within one's grasp.

At this moment, on the top floor of this high-rise building, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a chubby little boy was lounging in a soft sofa with his legs crossed, in a relaxed posture.

Baili Pangpang held a glass of red wine in his right hand, took an elegant sip, and then looked at the messages on his phone.

"Hmm?" Baili Pangpang placed the wine in his hand on the table next to him with a puzzled look. "A little busy with work?"

From Jiang Shiyuan's two short sentences, Baili Pangpang sensed that something was wrong.

"Qi Ye has been locked up and out of contact for three months. How come Shi Yuan is so calm and not worried at all?"

"Something's not right, let's take another look."

Baili's chubby hands nimbly tapped quickly on the phone.

Fatty: Shi Yuan, did you and Qi Ye have a fight? Qi Ye is such a straight man, don't take it to heart.

Fatty: Seven Nights has been missing for so long, it must be so worrying! He's so handsome, he's easy to be targeted by perverts.

Fatty: Maybe he's trapped somewhere right now, crying out to heaven and earth in vain, silently shedding tears in his heart while waiting for us to rescue him.

Fatty: You absolutely can't just stand by and watch someone die!

Jiang Shiyuan: ...

Jiang Shiyuan: Didn't you say he was in the hands of the Night's Watch?

Jiang Shiyuan: Don't make wild guesses. I'm just too busy with work. You're living like a pampered prince in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, not having to work, but I have to work!

Jiang Shiyuan: You cold-blooded capitalist would never understand the suffering of us working people!

"The suffering of working people? I don't think I really understand." Baili Pangpang's attention was diverted. He stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and then suddenly slapped his thigh. "Brother Zhai definitely understands. I'll go ask him."

In Beijing, just as Shen Qingzhu was about to go to sleep, she received a call from a fat guy. As soon as she answered, Baili Pangpang's carefree voice came through, "Brother Zhai! I have a question for you. Do you know what the suffering of a working person is? I don't know much about this, but I think you should know."

Shen Qingzhu felt she was being subtly insulted and sneered, "The most painful thing for a working person is having to answer your calls and stupid questions after a long day of work."

"Dududu-"

Baili Pangpang stared at the disconnected phone for a while, then called Cao Yuan again.

Cao Yuan answered the phone, "Hello?"

"It's me." Baili Pangpang's voice was deep, as if some unsolved mystery was troubling him.

Hearing Baili Pangpang's heavy tone, Cao Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Is there any news about Lin Qiye? Is the situation difficult?"

"Huh? No, not at all." Baili Pangpang was taken aback for a moment. "But it should be soon."

Cao Yuan was speechless. "Then why did you call me?"

"I want to ask you, do you know what the suffering of a working person is?" Baili Pangpang asked in a simple and honest manner.

Cao Yuan: Neurotic.

"Dududu-"

Baili Pangpang fell silent as the phone was hung up again. "Neither Zhai Ge nor Cao Yuan could answer it. It seems this really is a difficult problem to solve. No wonder Shi Yuan has changed..."

Just as Baili Pangpang was about to call his bodyguard in to ask if he knew what the so-called suffering of working people was, the bodyguard knocked on the door first.

"Young Master, we have news about the location where Lin Qiye is being held, which you were looking for."

Baili Pangpang was overjoyed, "Where is he being held?"

"Young Master, Lin Qiye is being held in the fasting facility." The bodyguard took out a map and pointed out the location of the fasting facility to Baili Pangpang.

Baili Pangpang happily took the map and took out his phone to make a call.

Just as he was about to dial Jiang Shiyuan's number, he thought of Jiang Shiyuan's attitude earlier, hesitated for a moment, and chose to call Cao Yuan instead.

"Hey?"

"Old Cao, it's me! I know where Qi Ye is! He's being held in the fasting camp!"

Baili Pangpang excitedly waved the map, wishing he could shove it into Cao Yuan's face through the internet cable.

Shangjing.

Jiang Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Baili Pangpang was no longer trying to persuade her to go and rescue Lin Qiye. She hoped that Baili Pangpang's men would not find out Lin Qiye's location so quickly.

It's worth noting that Lin Qiye spent a year in the fasting camp in the original story. When Baili Pangpang went to rescue Lin Qiye, he happened to run into the Ancient God Church causing trouble. Going there now would probably just be sending him to his death.

Even if, by sheer coincidence, Baili Pangpang went to rescue Lin Qiye and happened to run into the Ancient God Church causing trouble again, Lin Qiye was not cured at all, so rescuing him would have been pointless.

Jiang Shiyuan shook her head and got up to wash up.

It's too early for her to think about these things now. Those are things that will happen after Baili Pangpang finds out that Lin Qiye is locked up in the fasting place. She can worry about them then.

That night, Jiang Shiyuan slept soundly.

Unaware of her sleep, three teenagers had already swiftly agreed to break into the prison and were preparing to set off soon to rescue Lin Qiye from her predicament.

……

Fasting place.

Lin Qiye curled up on the ground, his hands covering his head, his face full of pain, as if he were trapped in some kind of dream.

"Aunt... Shi Yuan... No!"

"No, none at all! Cangnan..."

Reluctantly, Dr. Li opened the gate of Hefei Steel Plant and walked to Lin Qiye's side, his voice seemingly carrying a certain magnetism.

"Lin Qiye, wake up. You just had a nightmare. Your aunt is still waiting for you at home..."

Lin Qiye's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. After a long while, he opened his eyes and sat up, noticing that his face was covered in tears, and a sense of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Dr. Li sat on the stool next to him. After Lin Qiye had fully recovered, he smiled gently and asked him as if to confirm, "Lin Qiye, you know that Jiang Shiyuan has resurrected your aunt through forbidden objects, right?"

Lin Qiye's eyes flickered, "I..."

"It's alright, look at what's on the table." Dr. Li pointed to the only table in the room.

Lin Qiye blinked, trying to scan every part of the table, a bitter smile on his lips. "Sorry, I didn't see anything."

"..."

Dr. Li looked at the crystal ball on the table. Inside the clear crystal ball, a snowman was smiling, as if he were looking at Lin Qiye.

"I understand. You should rest for a bit." Dr. Li stood up, her smile unchanged.

Soon, with the sound of the door closing, only Lin Qiye remained in the room.

He stared blankly at the table for a long, long time, as if he could see what Dr. Li wanted him to see.
