Chapter 362: Chapter 245 This World is as Simple as You Know It_2

But he had come to eat with Bai Shi and the others, so there was no need to deliberately avoid the two people. Or more precisely, why should he have to avoid them?

So that’s what led to the subsequent events.

Seeing this, Bai Shi, who had just paid the bill, followed behind.

Zhang Lei and Yang Haotian both sighed in relief and hastily grabbed their bottled water to follow outside.

As for the two girls, they went to the restroom together to avoid the awkwardness of not encountering a service area on the highway later on.

In this quiet small town, the afternoon time gently flowed by.

The pedestrians on the streets were sparse, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

At this moment, at the entrance of the restaurant, Zhang Lei and Yang Haotian moved quickly and cautiously.

Sweat beads still hung on their foreheads.

They only had two cases of bottled water to move, so the sweating was not due to tiredness or heat, but purely due to nervousness.

The two men carefully placed the two cases of bottled water into the trunk of the imposing Cadillac, with each gentle and delicate movement revealing a deep sense of reverence in their hearts.

Zhang Lei occasionally glanced at the shadows nearby out of the corner of his eye, as if to ensure that the person whom they feared was watching all this.

Although it was just simple manual labor, and only two cases of water were involved, they treated each bottle as if it were a precious item.

Their excessive caution was clearly due to the fear of any mishap.

After completing the task, both men simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, wiped their sweat with their sleeves, and exchanged a knowing look with one another.

Then, they quietly stood aside, waiting for any possible further instructions.

The air was suddenly filled with a tense yet expectant atmosphere.

After Chen Yun nodded calmly.

The two felt a weight lifted off their shoulders and left as if fleeing.

They dared not turn back for another glance.

And this scene also left Bai Shi somewhat puzzled.

Even his paranoia made him briefly consider testing the water for poison.

But taking the moment when only he and Chen Yun were alone, he didn’t have the time to think more about the bottled water and the two men.

He now had more important things to do.

Looking at Chen Yun, Bai Shi’s expression seemed unusually complex.

Countless images flashed through his mind.

From Chen Yun learning anything at once, to Chen Yun controlling the Flying Sword to take lives thousands of miles away.

These extraordinary and supernatural abilities filled Bai Shi with countless questions.

But after a long deliberation.

He simply asked, "Brother Yun, is this world actually much more complicated than I know?"

Bai Shi’s voice was somewhat tentative, his gaze at Chen Yun complicated.

He had considered many things.

Considering whether to cling to powerful coattails?

Or whether to try to ingratiate himself?

But in the end, when the words came to his lips, only this question remained.

Because Bai Shi, who had been involved in the underworld for many years, deeply understood that in the end, the only reliable person was oneself.

He wouldn’t actively depend on others.

He just wanted an answer, just wanted to know if this complicated world was something he had never truly understood.

He waited a long time to ask this question face to face.

Even postponing his plans to go abroad to take revenge on Shadow Blade and Golden Triangle drug lords.

Chen Yun was silent for a while upon hearing this.

Then he slowly said seriously to Bai Shi, "From what I know... this world is probably as simple as you know it to be."

That was the truth.

Chen Yun had been silently searching for other anomalies since undergoing slumber evolution.

But the fact is.

So far, he had used spiritual power in many places like Shucheng, Magic City, Qixi City, and Laoag to observe countless people, yet he found none who might be an anomaly.

Either the hidden anomalies were much more powerful than him, making them unnoticeable to him.

Or there probably are no anomalies in this world besides him.

Which one it was, Chen Yun was not sure.

But his plan for the first phase of his solo global journey after this Labor Day trip also aimed to seriously search for other anomalies.

So, maintaining a rigorous scientific attitude,

Chen Yun didn’t speak fully, he used "to my knowledge" as his reply.

And as his words fell,

Bai Shi also quieted down.

The sunlight after high noon poured onto the stone pavement outside the restaurant, coating the bustling crowd with a dazzling golden radiance.

Even though the lunchtime rush had just passed, the restaurant entrance was still teeming with people.

The diners, in groups or alone, were still enthusiastically discussing their recent culinary experience or had content smiles lingering on their faces.

The waitstaff bustled among them, politely bidding farewell to patrons, with the air filled with a warm scent mixed with various food fragrances.

But in this seemingly lively scene, Bai Shi seemed to be encapsulated in a silent bubble.

His gaze penetrated the throng of people in front of him, staring into a distance that only he could see.

The surrounding noise—the laughter, the farewells, even the occasional traffic noise from afar—seemed to have its volume turned down, becoming insignificant murmurs in the background.

That phrase from Chen Yun, like a stone thrown into his tranquil heart, stirred ripples one after another.

Bai Shi’s thoughts were deeply engrossed, chewing over the meaning behind each word.

Was it as simple as he knew?

Was it implying that the world wasn’t as complicated as he thought? That the extraordinary and special involved only Chen Yun alone?

Or was it saying he would never see the truly complex side of that world? That he needn’t worry about everything he would never contact again?

In such a mental state, even amidst the most bustling time of noon, Bai Shi felt an unusually serene peace.

This tranquility didn’t come from the outside, but was sourced from deep focus and contemplation within.

The surrounding hustle seemed to turn into some distant background music, unable to disturb the intense yet subtle reflections in his heart.

After a long while,

Bai Shi looked at Chen Yun, who was smiling at him.

He decided to cast aside all the random thoughts in his mind and changed the subject,"After the May Day holiday, I’m going overseas to handle the aftermath of that attack, which will probably take a long time."

Bai Shi’s words held no hidden implications.

To be precise, they conveyed no plea for help.

He knew their statuses were no longer equal.

Even though Chen Yun still treated him as a friend, he no longer hoped for Chen Yun to extend a helping hand again.

Help was a favor, not helping was the norm.

He was lucky to have survived the last time.

He was not some notoriously thick-skinned person.

Thus, at this moment, his speech was more about expressing the emotions of a farewell.

Because although he was fairly confident about handling the assassin organization and the drug lords, those two were not trivial matters.

Even if he managed to avoid trouble and everything went smoothly,

It would still take a considerable amount of time.

Thus, a farewell seemed somewhat necessary.

Regarding this, Chen Yun looked up at the sky for a moment.

Then, lowering his head, he began to speak with a hint of suggestion,"In my house at Mingwang New Village, the Gundam has been left unattended for quite some time; if you’re heading abroad, take it with you and help look after it."

His words seemed to ask for Bai Shi’s help,

But actually, there was an implication of looking out for Bai Shi.

After all, he was also happy to lend a hand to a friend.

Since it wouldn’t require much effort.

However, to understand this underlying meaning,

One must connect the fact that the Flying Sword could be controlled, to the likelihood that the purple sandalwood Gundam statue could also be controlled.

If Bai Shi could think of this,

He would naturally understand the meaning behind taking the Gundam statue abroad.

And at this moment, upon hearing these words,

Bai Shi, who might have grasped Chen Yun’s intention, was still pondering the deeper meaning of those words.

Just then, Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping returned from the restroom together,

Which abruptly halted Bai Shi’s train of thought, ending the long-anticipated conversation for the day.

After chatting for a few moments, they got into the car.

Next...

Begin the May Day journey!
