Xue Lan shook his head helplessly and sighed, but couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei and smile bitterly.
"Okay, okay~
It's a mess on our side, but it's not going well on her side either. Let's all understand each other~
By the way, dagger, let’s talk about what happened before?
I haven’t even had a chance to listen to you since I came here~
Who are those people from?
Do you know him?
Can you recognize him as a local?"
Liu Yifei also couldn't help but smile bitterly, and turned back to ask the little assassin who was still looking a little dazed on the bed.
"Ah? Who...
Oh~
Brother Yun, are you talking about those people who attacked us before?
Not sure~
I have never come into contact with these people, and I don’t know if they are locals...
But before they rushed over to beat us, they asked, "Are you the Dagger Brother from Plague City?" Before I could say anything, Huang Quan...she laughed for a while, and then those people rushed up.
...
It was only in retrospect that we realized that they should have been testing the situation at the beginning to make sure they found the right person before taking action.
I don't know much about the others...
By the way, Brother Yun~
Is that person just now really Huang Quan's brother?
Why...how come I've never heard of Huang Quan and his brother?
And what he said before about Huang Quan's body and other issues... What happened to Huang Quan's body? Is there any problem?"
"this......
Hey~
It's quite complicated and I can't explain it to you right now.
Assassin, please be obedient. What you need to do now is to rest in peace and recuperate. Let’s talk about other issues after your body is fine~
As for the problem of Huang Quan and her brother...
This is someone else’s housework, so it’s hard for outsiders like us to interrupt, but I believe that for a girl like Huang Quan who is so independent-minded, there should be no problem, so don’t worry~”
Amidst Liu Yifei's repeated words of comfort, the little assassin lay down quietly on the hospital bed again. However, beside the hospital bed, Liu Yifei and Xue Lan just exchanged glances and walked out of the ward.
After a few words of instructions to let the little assassin rest peacefully and stop thinking about other things that may or may not exist, Liu Yifei gently closed the door, but his handsome eyebrows never relaxed from the beginning to the end~
"What do you think?"
After confirming that there was no movement in the little assassin's ward, Liu Yifei took Xue Lan to the safe passage of the hospital and asked softly.
"It's obvious~
The other party is indeed coming for them, but why...it's hard to guess~
We have offended a lot of people in the game, and it has indeed harmed the interests of many people. There are also many people who may teach us a lesson~
And after this meeting exposes everyone's true faces, someone may take the opportunity to seek revenge...
Logically speaking, it would be more practical to come to you directly.
But it’s also possible that the other party doesn’t know our details clearly, so they don’t dare to act rashly.
Maybe he's using the little assassin to test our attitude~
Anyway, I think the top priority right now is that we may all need to change places to live.
If we still live in the same place, let alone being targeted again, even if we continue to be harassed by those crazy fans, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long.
How about it?
Am I right?"
Xue Lan said gently with his fingers pointed, especially at the end, he winked at Liu Yifei playfully, which seemed to mean: "You understand~", which made Liu Yifei feel that this girl seemed to be fighting.
What a bad idea...
“Uh… moving???
Just move away after being beaten?
Isn't this... a bit much?
I think it’s enough to file a case at the police station, right? Is it necessary to flee with the whole family?
Besides, the little assassin’s parents are here. Where do you want him to run away alone?
Or don’t you even go to school?
It’s impossible, this is simply too exaggerated and crazy~”
Liu Yifei subconsciously refused to believe it.
However, almost as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hu, who had been standing silently next to him, suddenly spoke:
"Wait a minute, Mr. Liu~
In fact, I rather agree with what Miss Xuelan said.
You and your friends are playing a game without money... However, this game involves the 'business' that countless people rely on to support their families and even invest money to make a way out.
A very simple question~
If you want to develop a territory well, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of financial resources. Mr. Liu, you definitely know this better than me~
However, in the process of your development... more or less, you have uprooted some people~
These people may have a reason to die, or they may just bring it upon themselves...
However, no matter what, this involves a huge number of interests and even interest groups~
Since ancient times, the winner has always been king and the loser is the enemy. Your behavior complies with the rules set by the game, but it may not convince those people.
If they are far different from you in terms of strength in the game, they may not have a chance to fight against you. But on the other hand...
What if in reality, they only need to pay a small price to 'clean up' you?
If you think about it from another perspective, this is definitely a huge temptation that is irresistible, right?
And this time, Mr. Liu, the personal information of you and your friends has been almost completely exposed~
Your true appearance, your home address and the activity areas you usually go to...
It can be said that as long as you are willing, you have nothing to hide!
And as you continue to develop in the game and have friction and collisions with other people, there will definitely be more and more conflicts~
If we don’t take precautions as soon as possible...I’m afraid more and more things like this will happen~"
"What???"
Liu Yifei, who was still a little disapproving at first, suddenly lost his composure when he heard what Jiang Hu said~
"So serious???
Then didn’t your game company take any preventive measures from the beginning?
Since I know this is the case...
How come you haven’t considered the consequences of inviting us to the event?”
Liu Yifei couldn't help but was dumbfounded.
"No~ Mr. Liu, I think you have misunderstood.
In fact, it is not something that our company alone can do to curb the dark social behaviors that emerge in these online games.
As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to deal with but difficult to deal with. Some people will always rely on some illegal behaviors, which makes us very helpless~
Therefore, it is impossible for us to guarantee everyone's complete safety. What's more important is that you have to be more careful yourself.
As for safety measures...actually, it's not that there are none at all~
For example, those ordinary players, or relatively average professional players. They are unlikely to encounter similar situations.
Because the profit they generate from others in the game is only a hundred or a thousand yuan at most. Compared to hiring a social motivator, which can cost tens of thousands, no one will do such a thankless thing.
...
Unless someone is really being bullied so badly that they can’t bear to swallow it~
For example, for those of you who are powerful or dominant overlords, we have arranged separate airships to keep you as far away from the crowd as possible and ensure your personal safety.
At the same time, we have also sent you ant helmets for fighting in advance. You can also wear the helmets in advance before the game. This can also effectively prevent your true face from being exposed...
It’s just that Mr. Liu and your companions don’t seem to have such awareness. Therefore, you have actually made many similar mistakes in previous activities, which led to your home address being exposed and even being ambushed and attacked....
..”
"Forehead......
After working together for a long time, it’s all our own fault?”
Liu Yifei pointed to his nose in disbelief and asked rather depressedly.
"this......
There's nothing you can do about it~
In addition, Mr. Liu, your situation is definitely quite special.
Generally speaking, we can only invite such well-known players to our events only if they have experienced considerable ups and downs and accumulation in the professional gaming circle.
They themselves...may also have considerable backgrounds in their respective areas, so even if outsiders want to touch them, they will never be able to do so easily~
So those people are not afraid to show their faces publicly.
As for Mr. Liu, because you have soared to great heights in Heroes of Might and Magic OL, and your reputation is too great, you are not invited to join us. The so-called ‘meet-and-greet with high-level players’ has been criticized by others, so we made an exception to invite you.
Obviously, you may be powerful in the game, but in reality you are still quite...a layman, at least not very understanding of many rules in the professional world.
Therefore, such regrets can only be said to be regrettable~
But Miss Xuelan's concern is correct.
There is no point in pursuing other issues at this time...
In fact, we have some clues about the group that attacked your friend.
It's just that there is never any proof of this kind of thing, and the other party didn't leave any direct evidence at the scene, so instead of finding the other party, I think what you should consider now is how to transfer you and your friends, at least in the short term.
It is not suitable to appear in the public eye anymore, otherwise there may really be some difficult situations..."
"etc!
You said you already have clues about the group of people who beat up the little assassin?
Tell me! Immediately!!!"
When Jiang Hu said that "they" seemed to have news, Liu Yifei immediately forgot all his surprise and depression, and just "requested" with an extremely serious expression.
"..."
"Now that we have clues, do you have any more questions for me?
Do you want to stand by and watch?
Can you at least give us some help?"
"No~
Mr. Liu, you still misunderstood...
In short, this matter has been reported to the 'master', and he also has clues.
If you are really concerned about this matter, you can directly ask the 'master' later, but we...can't really give you too much information.
This is also our job. We apologize for any inconvenience~"
"Okay~
I can ask about the clues later...
But moving is such a big problem...
Xuelan, do you have any problem? Your parents..."
"Don't worry~
I live alone, so there won’t be much influence at home.”
Before Liu Yifei could finish speaking, Xue Lan said softly.
"Okay~Okay~
Then you have to at least ask the little assassin for his opinion?
He is different from us. Firstly, he has parents to consider, and secondly, he is still a student. Although summer vacation is about to begin, he is only a freshman this year.
It’s impossible to say that you’ll always hide outside and never come back, right?
This has to be done with his own consent..."
"What?
Move out?
Do you want to live with everyone???"
However, when the three of them returned to the ward, Liu Yifei had just mentioned this matter. The little assassin, who was still lying listlessly on the bed, suddenly asked with joy.
"Forehead......
If everyone doesn’t object... we can rent a larger place to live together..."
Liu Yifei scratched his head in embarrassment and finally replied.
"Oh~~~~~~
I can play games with Brother Yun!
Haha~~~
This is so cool!
I have never dreamed of such a wonderful thing!
When will I be discharged from hospital?
Actually, I feel like I don’t have a big problem. It’s simply the guy from Huang Quan who asked me to be hospitalized because he was worried. Otherwise, why don’t we leave now???”
A certain guy who was still wearing a hospital gown couldn't wait any longer.
"Wait~wait!
You...why are you so excited?
We were forced to move out due to safety issues, so please don't make it look like we are on a group vacation, okay?
Say it again~
Don’t you still have parents? And you have just finished your freshman year of college. What should you do with these?
If you just leave..."
"oops!
Isn't this simple?
I just said I would go out to work during the summer vacation!
Then it was no problem as long as I called home from time to time. They just said that Brother Yun and I were playing games together and had no objection. They just asked me to pay attention to my health and not get tired from playing.
There’s no problem with the school either!
I will just issue an infectious disease leave note and then take online classes in the school’s virtual community~
This is absolutely no problem. There will be no delay at all!”
"..."
Obviously~
A certain patient was already extremely excited about the idea of "collective accommodation". Before Liu Yifei could finish explaining his concerns, the patients there couldn't wait to cite various examples of how to overcome the problem~
And after being treated like this by the little assassin...it seems like the problem is really not that big?
Okay~
Since both Jiang Hu and Xue Lan mean so, Liu Yifei seems to have no choice...
The three of them discussed the issue of "where to set up a stronghold" in the ward for a while. By the way, they were also waiting for Yu Huangquan, who had said he would come back to apologize.
It's a pity that no one came back after waiting for more than ten minutes. When Liu Yifei went downstairs to take a look, he found that there was no one at all~
When I went back and took a look...even the bodyguards from Huangquan who used to live next door to the little assassin had disappeared~
He actually left without saying goodbye???
Okay~
Although it was a bit unexpected... but seeing how angry Huang Quan's brother was, it seemed that it was not impossible to force Huang Quan away.
After repeatedly calling Huang Quan's personal phone number to no avail, the group had no choice but to embark on the return journey with a little discomfort...
After a brief discussion, everyone, including the young assassin, finally agreed to the suggestion to go to Liu Yifei's city to find another resettlement place where they could gather together.
In addition to the fact that Liu Yifei has to bear the main expenses and feels safer in a place he is familiar with, it is also because he has promised the "mysterious" master before that he must go back, and the other party seems to have not only prepared a "mission"
I want to give it to him. Now I have got some information that Liu Yifei is more concerned about about the group of people who attacked the little assassin. From this point of view, there is no way to avoid this return trip...
And just when Liu Yifei and his group of four were once again experiencing the excitement and thrill of the midnight ride, on the other side, Yu Huangquan was huddled in the back seat of the luxury maglev car, pouting and not saying a word.
...
He just stared at the "brother" with a calm expression in the driver's seat through the rearview mirror. It was as if endless resentment could kill him through his eyes~
"Not convinced?"
The young man glanced at Huangquan through the rearview mirror and still asked coldly.
"Hmph~"
"Haha~
Stop whining there~
Your tricks are only useful to dad and grandpa. Do you think I will accept your tricks?
Come less~
Anyway, this time the matter is settled.
No matter what you think, or how you will beg your father and grandfather in the future, as long as I am at home for one day, I will keep an eye on you all day long.
Don't worry~
For you, my precious sister, I can even cancel the wedding. If you wake up for one second, I will stare at you for one second~
As long as I don't sleep, I guarantee you won't be able to access the Internet for even one second, let alone play any damn games."
The young man drove the car and said coldly.
"you!!!
How could you do this!
You are unreasonable!!!
I’m going to tell grandpa to go!!!”
"Go~
Go ahead though~
Grandpa has expressed his stance this time, and he will fully support my choice.
And as long as grandpa opens this mouth, no one in the family will condone you~"
"What? Grandpa, how can he...
This is impossible!
Grandpa has always loved me the most!
How could you imprison my freedom like you! I don’t believe it!”
"You don't have to believe it~ because you will soon realize whether all this is true or not~
What do you think your grandpa’s attitude will be after hearing the news about your near-accident?
In fact~
If it hadn't been for me voluntarily agreeing to come out to find you, I'm afraid that the people who surrounded the hospital before would have been a secret shadow guard from my family~
Do you think your so-called friends still have the time and opportunity to stand there and lecture me leisurely?
You actually said I don't care about you?
I just don’t know what it means!
Is that what they call friendship with you?
Regardless of your personal safety and physical condition, just because of a game will make you fall into a state of fatigue for a long time?
Don’t they know you might die from this!!!”
The young man seemed to be furious at this moment. He punched the exquisite maglev car steering wheel and said~
Fortunately, today's maglev vehicles already have mature autonomous driving systems, otherwise this punch would probably kill one car and two people~
"Brother~~~
You have all misunderstood!!!
They are really my good friends~
Before, it was because I deliberately concealed my illness from them, and they didn't know about my condition. But since the last time I fainted, they have assigned many tasks in the territory to others. Now I am getting more and more
The more relaxed you are, the less pressure you feel~
As for what happened tonight...
Then it’s not their fault!
We are the victims, okay!
The little assassin and I were beaten by others~
How can this be blamed on them~
Ouch~~~
My good brother~
Just stop being angry!
I will definitely not run around again~
Just let me go, my lord, this time~~~"
Yu Huangquan began to use a woman's eternal special skill - the coquettish attack.
"Come less~
Nothing you say will be of any use this time!
The main responsibility for this incident does not lie with those people... But otherwise, what else do you think would allow them to continue to stand in such a pretentious position?
If they really bear even 10% of the responsibility, do you think grandpa will let them go?
Regarding those who attack you, don’t worry~
There is no need to wait until dawn, someone will definitely greet them~
But no matter what, at least the injuries of Ah Bao and his friends are inseparable from the responsibility of your injured so-called friend, right?
What if the situation happens again next time and Abao and the others are not here?
Do you, the patient, still have to go up and do it yourself?
Do they still need to rely on you, a woman, to save them?
Damn it!
Those guys can't even do the minimum to protect your safety!
Even if they really want to be friends with you...it's okay not to be such an incompetent friend~
If you feel bored, just say it and no one will play with you?
Second brother, third brother, even if it is me, I will come back to play with you if I put down my work!
What's so good about them that makes them so memorable to you?
Are they kissing you or are we kissing you?
I see that you were really affected by that game. You even lost your ability to make calm judgment...
Anyway!
No more need to say this!
You have no choice~"
"You...you..."
Yu Huangquan originally thought that she was the most arrogant and unreasonable person among the people she knew in her family~
Unexpectedly, her eyes were really opened today!
He has always been praised by everyone as the most promising eldest brother in the family and the most promising to revitalize the family. He is even more unreasonable than her!
Yu Huangquan was really anxious and angry for a moment. He pointed at the big brother in front of him who was driving calmly, but he couldn't say a word~
However, in Jue Huangquan's heart, she was silently afraid.
Because she knew very well that her eldest brother had always been a man of his word. If he really said this to death today... it would mean that she would be in real trouble in the future...
A row of five almost identical black maglev vehicles roared away on the high-speed track at night. However, the sharp roar seemed to be a metaphor for an impending disaster. It kept hovering in the silent night sky, and then gradually filled the air.
Drive away...
On the other end, after a night of non-stop tossing and turning, Liu Yifei finally returned to the branch of Longsheng Group at dawn, but he was surprised to find that... the "master" was not asleep yet!
Good guy~
After the night turned around, Liu Yifei, a strong young man who was used to staying up all night, felt a little bit overwhelmed. Coupled with the intense high-end meet-and-greet activities before...Liu Yifei even felt a little sore in his back and wanted to immediately
Lie down on the comfortable big bed and roll over to sleep~
But this old man was able to stay up all night like the young man and still looked the same as usual...
Liu Yifei, who sat back down in front of the visitor under Jiang Hu's leadership, was slightly startled for a moment, and even had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Haha~
Do you think it’s a bit shocking that I’m still looking so good even though I haven’t slept all night?”
Father Time smiled faintly and took a sip of tea from the cup.
"Haha~
It’s a little bit…”
"Hahahaha~
It's not a big deal actually.
Basically, after you left, I went directly to rest. And Jiang Hu also gave me news before coming back.
So I know your position very well.
About ten minutes before you came back, I just sat down here.
You see, this tea is all new.
Nothing surprising~
Hahahaha~~~"
The old man smiled heartily, and Liu Yifei also accompanied him and whispered in agreement. But no matter how Liu Yifei looked at it... he felt that the old man's outfit had never changed... It even seemed like he had never taken it off.
Just average~
He didn't believe that someone with a status like the person opposite would have such weird habits as sleeping in clothes or not changing clothes.
But Liu Yifei was not serious enough to expose the other party's white lies.
Since the elderly don’t want to worry and think too much... then it’s better to just follow their wishes~
"Oh~
That's it, that's it...
Haha~
Anyway, I still want to thank you grandpa for this matter~
Without your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle these things in one night!
When I think of all the effort you put in...I really don't know how to repay you.
You definitely don’t care about money or anything like that. Didn’t you say before that you had a ‘task’ for me? Maybe the only thing I can do for you is to get this done~
So if you have anything to give me, Grandpa, it’s okay to say it~”
"Haha~
interesting......
Didn't Jiang Hu tell you that I have some information on hand that you might be more interested in?
Or do you no longer care who killed your friend?"
The old man never mentioned what he wanted Liu Yifei to do. Instead, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and tapped Liu Yifei in front of him, laughing softly.
"No~
Mr. Jiang Hu told me very clearly, and I am also very concerned about who is so despicable that he would attack my friends outside the game...
But I believe that since the news has reached your hands, grandpa, you will definitely give it to me.
Because I don't feel you have any ill will towards me.
It was like this when we first met, it was like this before, and it is like this now~
In my opinion, the most you can do is ask for some promises from me~
For example, help you with something.
In this case, it seems that there is no need for us to bargain too much.
Grandpa, you can tell me clearly what you want me to do.
As long as it is within the scope of my abilities and does not violate my personal principles, I think I will definitely do my duty~
And grandpa, your affairs are done...I think mine will be easier to handle~"
"Hahahaha~~~"
The old man opposite who was sitting upright with a chuckle suddenly burst into laughter with his hands clasped in his hands, and sat up directly, which was a bit surprising...or maybe he was laughing there with great comfort, and at the same time
From time to time, he stretched out his hand to point his finger at Liu Yifei, and kept shaking his head...but he didn't say a word. Liu Yifei looked really confused~
However, it seems that I am tired of laughing, or I have laughed enough.
The old man who slowly stopped in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the company looked at the rising sun with his hands behind his back, leaving only the quiet silence in the space.
"Okay~~~"
After a while, an inexplicable shout suddenly sounded, but it was hard to believe that the loud voice could be uttered by the old man in front of him.
"Now I know why 'she' likes you so much~
No wonder...no wonder...
Okay~
Now that you've figured it out, I won't make any further mistakes.
Liu Yifei, my request is very simple. As long as you can help me with one thing, let alone the problem of your friend being attacked this time, even if it is other more difficult things, as long as it is within my ability, in the future
If you come to me, I will never refuse you!
And my request is very simple..."
At this point, the old man with backlight suddenly turned around and stared at Liu Yifei, and then uttered half a sentence that Liu Yifei couldn't understand:
"Become my 'hidden hand', monitor all potential threats in the game that may cause the world to collapse...and try your best to kill them..."
