Chapter 376: Chapter 252: The vast sea allows the fish to leap; the high sky lets the birds fly

[Sichuan News Special Dispatch: May 3, 2024!]

[According to the management office of Cuiyun Valley Scenic Spot, last night an employee of a jade store within the area suddenly fell to the ground while having a late-night snack. Upon investigation, it was a case of mechanical asphyxiation caused by several fish bones being stuck at once, and despite emergency measures, life could not be saved.]

[We would like to remind everyone: while enjoying delicious food, safety must be a priority. Knowledge of basic emergency aid, such as the Heimlich maneuver, is crucial for dealing with situations like choking on a foreign object. In addition, the catering service industry and public places should strengthen health and safety training for employees...]

[We express our deep condolences for this incident and hope that through this unfortunate event, all sectors of society will pay greater attention to daily dietary safety and work together to prevent the recurrence of similar tragedies.]

At eight in the morning.

The sound of the news broadcast resonated through the small town’s speakers.

This tourist town situated beneath Cuiyun Valley still retained the village-wide broadcasts from many years ago, delivering news and announcements at regular intervals in the morning and evening, conveying information from the outside world and local warmth.

Regarding this piece of news.

Most tourists paid little attention and simply pulled the covers over their heads to continue sleeping.

But Bai Shi, who was planning to do just that, suddenly froze, his hand clutching the quilt involuntarily stopping mid-air.

Am I still not fully awake?

Yeah, I must be groggy!

With that thought, Bai Shi intended to go back to sleep.

But his genius brain, which certainly stood out among ordinary people, began combing through his memories.

The next moment.

His drowsiness dissipated instantly.

Huh? What???

Jade Store? Employee? Last night? Accidental death?

These key terms from the broadcast led Bai Shi to quickly understand what had happened.

While his mind raced with emotion, Bai Shi couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

A jade store employee had died accidentally last night.

It was difficult not to associate this with the incident he had encountered the previous evening.

Considering his belief that Chen Yun wouldn’t let things go so easily yesterday, it became obvious who the deceased employee was and that the "accident" needed to be considered more closely.

Having witnessed Chen Yun’s capabilities of claiming a life from a long distance, Bai Shi would not doubt his ability to arrange an "accidental" demise for that employee.

The difficulty of close-range manipulation of a few fish bones probably wasn’t greater than controlling a Flying Sword from miles away.

After a long ponder.

Bai Shi was uncertain how to react in the moment.

He might have guessed correctly, but he felt no joy in being right.

Of course.

Nor was there much fear.

Even if such a manufactured "accident" seemed terrifying, it couldn’t shake him.

After all, it was highly unlikely that Chen Yun would harm him.

So, overall.

His emotions tended more towards neutrality.

Neither joyous nor frightened.

Regardless, the shock in his heart was definitely unabated.

With such thoughts.

Bai Shi realized that he had already dressed and arrived at Chen Yun’s door without knowing when.

At this moment, he was tempted to knock and say something, ask something.

But a single thought dominated his mind: I dare not speak, I dare not ask.

He was not some naive youngster.

Clarifying whether this had anything to do with Chen Yun was entirely unnecessary.

What if it did? What if it didn’t?

What difference would knowing make, and what if he remained unaware?

Often, it’s better not to know too much about things one shouldn’t know.

So after pondering for another moment.

Bai Shi abandoned the idea of knocking and turned to walk away from there.

His actions not showing the slightest hesitation.

...

Inside the room.

Chen Yun glanced at Bai Shi walking away through the barrier of the door, then lowered his head and continued to busy himself with his own affairs without further concern.

Although he knew what Bai Shi was thinking at the moment.

To be honest.

Chen Yun didn’t care about Bai Shi’s purpose.

Since Bai Shi didn’t plan to come in, Chen Yun naturally wouldn’t open the door to stop him.

He was never one to look for trouble.

Besides, he had some small but personal matters to attend to at the moment.

After all, he hadn’t performed his muscle tremor exercise and Telekinesis training this morning due to being busy with other things since dawn.

He was now catching up on that.

The business that kept him occupied in the early hours was related to the aftermath concerning the jade store employee.

After handling the employee decisively and directly last night, he had engaged in a major task that needed to be done—scouring the mountains!

He was busy until the early hours before sliding down the mountain.

After coming down from the mountain in a whirlwind rush, he immediately went about, using his robust abilities, to find the main person in charge and the major beneficiary of the Jade Store at this location and gave them a slight "brainwash."

Then he returned to the guesthouse.

Last night, dealing with the employee who dared to dupe him wasn’t the end. Although he wasn’t a philanthropist, having experienced being duped himself, he wouldn’t let the Jade Store continue its deceitful ways.

However, he wasn’t the type of devil who would slaughter someone’s entire family without a second thought.

So.

He simply chose to spend a little time slightly "brainwashing" the person who was both the main person in charge and the greatest beneficiary.

After he left.

That person would act according to the plan, like a self-destructive truck directly turning oneself in, taking a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp with him to their end.

For Chen Yun.
