Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 49 Confusing
The two were teleported to Li Haisheng's laboratory. It seemed that this place had not been exposed for the time being.

"Damn it, we don't even know who the enemy is." Halma helped Yuanze who had fallen to the ground, gritting his teeth in anger.

"It should be someone from the Li family."

"I don't think so."

"Ok?"

Halma came up to Yuanze and showed him the secret message sent by his family's spy:

"Li Haisheng broke through to become a scout-level warrior, and returned to the Li family with great force, causing a conflict with the current head of the family, his brother Li Haiming. It is known that Li Songming suddenly turned to Li Haisheng, but Li Haisheng refused. The Li family was then split into three forces: Li Haisheng, Li Haiming, and the elders headed by Li Songming."

This was just a short paragraph of text, but the amount of information it revealed was so huge that Yuanze didn't know what to feel for a moment.

The two agreed on the latest secret communication channel and discussed their respective tasks. Halma investigated the secrets of the missing people in the martial arts hall, while he went to find the girl who delivered the message to Mr. Yang.

Yuanze said that Yang Lao told him last time that if he got into trouble, he should go to a small shop in the WX District to find her. He still vaguely remembered some of the streets in Wuxing District. Before his master accepted him as a disciple, his family lived nearby, about half a community away.

The environment here is much better than the slums where Yiyang lives. All the necessary hardware facilities are basically complete, so Yuanze still finds it difficult to imagine how Yiyang grew up since he was a child.

Yuanze passed by his earliest "home" along the way. It was empty and there was not a single light in the dark night.

He crossed the street, sidled into the alley, hid under the dripping eaves, and walked along the flowing gutters until he reached the end.

Soon, Yuanze saw that the old plastic plaque was blown by the cold wind, and the torn part in the middle of the plaque, a nearly triangular fragment, was flying in the air.

The door was opened, and the girl was standing by the door, looking at him quietly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Do you want to change your shoes?" Yuanze looked up at the pairs of slippers displayed on the ground and asked her.

Yuanze saw that she frowned slightly, with a hint of disdain on her face, just like the arrogance she had last time.

"I really don't understand why grandpa likes someone like you. You can be considered a like-minded person."

Yuanze blinked a few times, a little surprised, and understood what was in his arms. He smiled bitterly as she turned and left, then changed his shoes and followed her into the room.

Inside is a conference room filled with various equipment that is completely out of place with the environment.

"I know. Elder Yang told me that he would come here to find you if anything happened. And you just mentioned your grandfather. If I'm not mistaken..."

"So what? He abandoned his family and lived in this world. It's better that he's dead now. Not to mention that I don't have any concerns about him. If it weren't for the organization's arrangement, I don't want to have anything to do with him again in my life." The girl was directing the computer to retrieve information without any guilt in her heart.

"No matter what, he is still your grandfather. This is what Elder Yang asked me to give you. He said that this letter and the things inside are for you."

Without even raising her head, the girl glanced at the seal on the letter out of the corner of her eye. She felt that Yuan Ze did have some good points, and her tone softened.

"Leave it there. I'll look at it later."

"what's your name?"

"Huh, you don't even know my name. My name is Yang Ziqi. Look at this."

Yuanze looked at the projection on the wall. It was information about a missing student named Sun Weiran. It was written in great detail and there was also a video.

"Take him to the Security Bureau. We will notify the training camp. Even if your mission is completed, we will also notify the training camp to upgrade the mission level."

"I haven't figured it out yet..."

"Do you want to kill more people?" Yang Ziqi's tone became impatient. "Now is not the time. No matter how anxious you are to find your friend, it's useless."

"It says above that I am to assist you, but that doesn't mean you can act rashly and ruin our plan."

"Okay then. As for Hjalmar, you should know that he is quite impulsive."

"Someone has already gone to talk to him, and he has a special identity. If anything happens to him, the Vladimir family of the Bear Country will not give up. Those people are not really stupid."

Yang Ziqi raised her head and looked at Yuanze, her expression becoming serious: "I don't care how much magic potion you give them, but it's useless to me. You have to prove to me that you have the ability. This is also the most important thing for you now."

"Go ahead. I've sent you the communication frequency and encryption method. If there's any emergency, remember to contact me first. Don't launch an investigation rashly like you did last time."

After Yuanze left, Yang Ziqi opened the envelope. She was stunned when she saw the words on the envelope, and her tears fell to the ground. She opened the door and wanted to say something to Yuanze, at least to apologize to him for her rude attitude.

She only saw the figure passing by the corner, as if taking away something in her heart. She felt lost, and gradually slid down from leaning against the door railing to sitting on the ground, looking a little absent-minded.

The next day, it was still drizzling.

Yuanze took Sun Weiran away from the secret location and went to the Security Bureau to hand over the task. He obtained 1200 contribution points, and the information in the card also jumped to 5200 points.

Yuanze sat on the steps at the entrance of the Security Bureau, watching people coming and going, and making plans in his mind bit by bit.

I will go to the place that Mr. Yang mentioned to look for my family later. After returning, I will temporarily put aside these things in S Province and wait until I become stronger.

"You are here."

Yuan Ze heard a very gentle voice, and he knew who she was without looking up. He adjusted his collar and responded to her in a casual manner:

"Long time no see. How did you know I was here?"

"You are practicing the boxing technique I gave you. When you practice this boxing technique to the end, you can sense people who practice the same boxing technique. Combined with my brother's ability, he told you when you came here five days ago."

Ji Xueran's eyes sparkled as she looked at Yuanze with joy and undisguised admiration.

"Well, your brother really dotes on you, so isn't that mean I'm being monitored by your brother all the time?"

"How could that be? My brother is a very reasonable person. Let's go first and chat in the teahouse my family owns."

"Sure, but it wouldn't be nice if others saw it."

"What's the big deal? Let's take the transporter."

"Transporter? Portal-combined vehicle?"

"The principle is very similar, the speed is slower, but much cheaper than the portal. It is a product that our family will soon launch."

"It's not good to take a car."

But Yuanze couldn't resist Ji Xueran's pulling and got into the car. The car was also fully automatic. It arrived at the parking lot in the teahouse in a few flashes. After getting out of the car, he went directly into the VIP room.

The two chatted for a while about their experiences during this period, as if they wanted to pour out all the longing and unshared stories of the past few months.

When Ji Xueran heard about the fierce fighting, even though the protagonist was right in front of her, she couldn't help but get nervous, and her mood changed with the ups and downs of the battle.

Yuanze also listened to Ji Xueran talking about this period of time, and looking at the paintings she took out of the scenes of practicing and traveling in various places, Yuanze's eyes also gradually filled with longing and yearning for the mountains and rivers.

"Next time, if you are free, can I accompany you to visit this beautiful land?"

Ji Xueran blushed and nodded in agreement. She coughed to cover up her gaffe and said, "This is for you."

"What is this!?" Yuanze saw that his device received a huge amount of information. This was the complete training guide for the Ji family boxing, and it also included guidance on training experience.

"I pestered my brother for a long time before he agreed to give it to you. After hearing about your story, my brother admired you very much, so he gave you the complete follow-up version of the part he gave you last time, as well as his training guidance."

"I'm fine, am I?"

"Yeah, yeah, you're the best."

Ji Xueran pulled her hair back, and the rouge on her cheeks seemed to become even redder, all the way to her temples. Her smiling eyes narrowed into a pair of crescents, creating two dimples on her cheeks.

Yuanze looked at Ji Xueran's happy expression and laughed too. This was the most relaxing and happiest time for Yuanze in the past few days, without so many worries.

Yuanze moved closer to her, and she leaned her head on his shoulder, whispering sweet words to him.

She looked at Yuanze, his face turned a little red, and he was actually a little shy. She had never thought about it before.

She also heard about what happened in the past few days from her brother. All she could do was to accompany him and let him know that she still existed.

No matter how big the world is, I will always wait.
