Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 720 World 255

To Shen Ruyin's surprise, Qi Chengyun froze completely upon hearing Number 1's voice, his whole body radiating an undeniable sense of guilt.

"Let me see," Number 1 walked to his side and immediately recognized Shen Ruyin, whom Qi Chengyun was paying attention to.

"It's her."

Number 1's voice was somewhat dismissive. He scoffed and said to Qi Chengyun, "Instead of doing your job, you're paying attention to other girls again."

"What, is Zhao Manrou not enough for you to appease?"

“No, brother… sir,” Qi Chengyun lowered his head and adopted a more respectful form of address, “I just suspect that this girl is deliberately revealing our location.”

"Is that so?" Instead of focusing on Shen Ruyin as Qi Chengyun wished, Number 1 moved his fingers, sending a surge of yin energy to knock Qi Chengyun down.

"Didn't I teach you not to give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of you?"

"Yes," Qi Chengyun said, bowing his head and appearing very obedient.

Number 1 lowered his eyelids: "Then why did you let Zhao Manrou contact her?"

"Don't tell me you can't guess what the Special Affairs Bureau does. That would make me wonder if your brain has completely turned to water after all these years."

"I..." Qi Chengyun's mind raced. "My lord, I'm doing this for our plan."

"Although Zhao Manrou likes me, there are always other things in her life that occupy her mind, making it impossible for her to wholeheartedly trust us and do things for us."

"I just want to take this opportunity to get rid of her relatives and friends one by one."

“Severing ties with all family is the most suitable fate for us to walk together, don’t you think?”

Shen Ruyin and her daughter walked around, stopping frequently, carrying several bags of fresh vegetables, but they didn't go too far.

Number 1 and Qi Chengyun's voices weren't too quiet; they were just loud enough for Shen Ruyin to hear everything they said.

Hmm... Shen Ruyin kept a straight face, and for a moment she didn't even know whether she should laugh or not.

It's quite something that these two went along with this whole thing.

Shen Ruyin has quite a lot of influence.

Unfortunately, their biggest mistake was that she could still clearly hear their voices in the noisy environment of the market.

If the setting weren't so inappropriate, Shen Ruyin would have asked them a question.

Are you guys kidding me?

As for what they said about Zhao Manrou, Shen Ruyin felt that she couldn't believe it all, but she also couldn't completely disbelieve it.

But even if it were all true, Shen Ruyin wouldn't do anything about it now.

After all, even if she told Zhao Manrou the truth, Zhao Manrou would have to believe her.

Shen Ruyin was still self-aware.

Zhao Manrou may have some trust in her, but the degree of that trust should be seriously questioned.

Otherwise, Zhao Manrou wouldn't have gotten involved with Qi Chengyun and even rescued the little girl in the red shoes, despite Qi Chengyun's reminder.

Now, all Shen Ruyin could say was that she had to protect herself first; as for others…

Respect the path she has chosen.

Shen Ruyin and her daughter left slowly, and Qi Chengyun and Number 1 also disappeared from the spot.

Seeing the mother and daughter return home and close the ventilation window, Number 1, having already suffered the consequences of being a door god once, did not continue to approach, but instead turned to Qi Chengyun beside him.

"Knowing the result, do you still have doubts?"

“To be honest, brother, I still have some doubts,” Qi Chengyun said, his demeanor completely different from before. “After all, it’s too much of a coincidence.”

“Pay attention to priorities,” Number 1 reminded him. “Our immediate priority is not your human girlfriend and her friends.”

“I know,” Qi Chengyun frowned, “but brother, I’ve tried many methods, but I still haven’t been able to find the website that Zhao Manrou mentioned.”

"Do you think that the webpage doesn't even exist, and that Shen Ruyin made it up from the beginning to deceive people?"

“Unlikely,” Number 1 said. “Shen Ruyin has a clean background and no lineage. Where would she find so many talismanic patterns?”

"That website has such a comprehensive collection of talismans, it's probably built within the Special Affairs Bureau and Shen Ruyin stumbled upon it."

"Let our people in the Special Affairs Bureau investigate."

Qi Chengyun initially agreed, but then hesitated and said, "Brother, the Special Affairs Bureau is now determined to send the little girl to reincarnation. Do we really still want to protect her?"

"It's just a vengeful ghost. Although its origin is difficult to determine, it's not impossible to create a new one."

"To expose Zhao Manrou to the Special Affairs Bureau and even use an inside agent within the bureau for her sake... isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

“It’s easy to find a vengeful ghost, but it’s not easy to find one with exceptional talent,” Number 1 said. “Keep the little girl; she will bring us more surprises.”

“But speaking of other vengeful ghosts…” Number 1 shifted his gaze to the window of Shen Ruyin’s room, “Unfortunately, the same method cannot be used again.”

Qi Chengyun didn't hear clearly: "Brother, what did you say?"

“No, it’s nothing,” Number 1 asked him, “When do you plan to have Zhao Manrou cultivate the Ghost Path?”

“Brother, she is, after all, human,” Qi Chengyun hesitated, meeting Number 1’s unwavering gaze, “Perhaps we should wait a little longer…”

Shen Ruyin didn't know what the two vengeful ghosts were saying on the rooftop opposite her house, but she was certain that she was being targeted.

Shen Ruyin didn't dare to send a message to Sister Li, so she contacted Ke Xue instead.

"Hello," Ke Xue's sleepy voice rang out, "Yinyin, is something urgent?"

“Yes,” Shen Ruyin said after Ke Xue had calmed down for a moment, “Boss, I encountered two vengeful ghosts when I went out today.”

"What?" If Ke Xue was only half-asleep before, this time he was completely awake.

"Tell me in detail what happened, how did two more evil ghosts suddenly appear?"

Shen Ruyin then recounted to him how she met No. 1 and Qi Chengyun.

"I don't dare to contact Sister Li directly right now. Boss, when are you free to ask Sister Li for me?"

“I think,” Ke Xue scratched his hair, “we should tell the boss about this.”

"Those two vengeful ghosts should be the ones the boss fought when he went to Black Mountain before."

“They managed to escape even under the boss’s command, so talking to Sister Li alone probably won’t do any good.”

Shen Ruyin blinked: "You have to say the boss is smart. If you hadn't brought it up, I would have forgotten that I could contact the boss directly."

Ke Xue was speechless and amused at the same time: "Isn't the boss your crush? You should seize every opportunity to contact him."

“Who says crushes have to be in constant contact?” Shen Ruyin argued. “My boss is so busy, how could I possibly bother him all the time?”

"Oh," Ke Xue couldn't help but say, "I'm still very curious, is Boss really your crush?"

“Of course,” Shen Ruyin said without any guilt, “If the boss were standing in front of me right now, my eyes would definitely only be on him.”

Ke Xue understood: "It's not necessarily true if they're not standing right in front of you, right?"

“Boss, how do you know me so well?” Shen Ruyin said. “But it’s normal, I’m just a simple person who likes to appreciate all kinds of beauty.”

"This one is quite rare, and it's one that I can appreciate."

Taking advantage of Shen Ruyin's blindness, Ke Xue rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"What crush? I can't believe your nonsense."

"You just like the boss's looks and physique, what excuse are you making?"
