Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 329: Daybreak’s Joint Operation

Luo City, Li Jing Gate, Kunlun headquarters’ mansion.

A group of Kunlun members were sitting around Little Eagle. Lu Yuan’s eyes shone brightly as he asked, “Were you at the scene when Li Changqing was attacked?”

“Yes,” Little Eagle nodded. “That night, Li Changqing went to Qing Chen’s place to spend the night…”

“Wait a minute!” Lu Yuan was stunned. They called back Little Eagle, who was originally on a field assignment, to understand the whole incident, but they didn’t expect the beginning of this story to be so bizarre.

Lu Yuan said, “We want to hear about the battle intelligence that night, not this nonsense!”

A Kunlun member whispered, “Lu team… we’d rather hear this first.”

Lu Yuan: “…Fine.”

Little Eagle said excitedly, “I told you before, Qing Chen was brought into Ban Shan Mountain Estate by Li Changqing, and later, under Li Changqing’s arrangement, he became the Martial Arts Hall Instructor of the Li Clan academy’s Bieyuan Courtyard.”

“Mm,” Lu Yuan nodded.

Little Eagle continued, “After he entered Bieyuan Courtyard, he gave the Li Clan kids a good beating. Later, the Li Clan Intelligence Agency assigned him Autumn Leaf Manor in Ban Shan Mountain Estate, supposedly where the current family head’s former teacher lived.”

In the Inner World, each family head of a conglomerate has power like an emperor, and the family head’s teacher is like an imperial tutor.

They may not have any power, but their status is very high.

Lu Yuan asked doubtfully, “Why did Qing Chen’s status rise so quickly? Also, if he’s only good at fighting, he shouldn’t have Li Clan disciples formally apprentice under him, right?”

Little Eagle lowered his voice, “I heard…”

Lu Yuan slapped him on the back of the head, “We’re in our own territory, why are you lowering your voice to create a suspenseful atmosphere? Tell me properly.”

“Oh,” Little Eagle said, “I heard he got a legitimate Cultivation method from somewhere, and those Li Clan disciples apprenticed under him to learn this Cultivation method.”

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, “Wait, is the Cultivation method he possesses from the Knight Order?”

Lu Yuan had some vague clues in his mind, but he couldn’t connect them for now.

However, Little Eagle thought for a moment and said, “It should have nothing to do with the Knight Order. He possesses a dual cultivation method, and now many people within the Li Clan say he’s from the Huanxi Sect…”

“Pfft!” The Kunlun members were shocked, “What the hell?”

At this time, Qing Chen didn’t know that the reputation of the organization he founded was also starting to decline in the Outer World.

“It’s true,” Little Eagle said, “After those Li Clan disciples apprenticed under him, they all went to the Li Clan Intelligence Agency to request the family to arrange marriages for them. You all know that those disciples originally escaped to the army to avoid marriage contracts, but now that they have the dual cultivation method, they all eagerly want to get married.”

In fact, Li Shu and others all signed non-disclosure agreements and strictly followed them.

Therefore, the outside world didn’t know what was going on, they could only guess.

Little Eagle said, “A group of people who returned from the army to apprentice for Cultivation suddenly asked their families to arrange marriages for them. What else could it be besides a dual cultivation method…”

At this moment, Lu Yuan’s mind was blank when he heard the word dual cultivation.

Little Eagle continued, “That night, Li Changqing received a tip-off that they had found Shendai Tongwu’s whereabouts.”

“Shendai Tongwu, the person in charge of external intelligence for the Shendai Family,” Lu Yuan said, “I know this person.”

“Mm,” Little Eagle nodded. “So Li Changqing came out of Autumn Leaf Manor at night, leading a team to capture Shendai Tongwu. Unexpectedly, there was an insider in the Li Clan who leaked Li Changqing’s whereabouts. Including the fact that Shendai Tongwu suddenly appeared that night, it was all a trap. The convoy was ambushed suddenly on Changshamen Street. Even the snipers that Li Changqing had arranged in advance were found and killed one by one by the Shendai Family, and replaced by Shendai Family’s snipers.”

Little Eagle said, “You should all have heard about what happened later. The snipers appeared and disrupted the Shendai Family’s plan.”

Lu Yuan and the others knew almost everything about the snipers.

“What’s strange is,” Little Eagle said, “that the sniper wasn’t arranged by Li Changqing, and even she didn’t know who the sniper was. Later, she seemed to have some guesses, and immediately returned to Ban Shan Mountain Estate and went to Autumn Leaf Manor to find Qing Chen, but Qing Chen wasn’t in Autumn Leaf Manor.”

Lu Yuan frowned, “Was Qing Chen the sniper? Doesn’t that mean he’s the boss of Daybreak?”

“No, it was later confirmed that Qing Chen was secretly invited by the family head to Baopu Building that night, so he wasn’t in Autumn Leaf Manor,” Little Eagle said, “And I specifically checked the entry and exit registration of Ban Shan Mountain Estate, and there was no name of Qing Chen. You all know how strict Ban Shan Mountain Estate is, people entering and leaving will definitely leave traces, and he didn’t leave Ban Shan Mountain Estate.”

Little Eagle said, “The sniper should be the boss of Daybreak, Qing Chen and Li Changqing have a good relationship, and Qing Chen is an important member of the Daybreak organization, so it’s normal for him to take action.”

Just a moment ago, Lu Yuan suspected that Qing Chen was the Daybreak boss, but he also agreed with Little Eagle’s statement. Qing Chen couldn’t slip out of Ban Shan Mountain Estate silently, and Baopu Building couldn’t cooperate with Qing Chen to lie.

“Previously, the furthest shooting distance shown by the Daybreak boss in the Outer World was only 1100 meters, and our snipers can also do this,” Lu Yuan said, “But in this battle, the opponent’s sniping skills were terrifying, 2600 meters stationary target, 100% accuracy. There has never been such a powerful sniper in the history of mankind in the Outer World. Little Eagle, let’s go, let’s visit Daybreak.”

At the villa, Luo Wanya’s actions were faster than expected.

In the morning, Qing Chen just asked him to buy the villa next door, but in the afternoon, when everyone was Cultivating, there was a lively moving sound from next door.

Qing Chen went out to take a look, and the Luo City local snake was directing his construction team to install surveillance cameras.

Luo Wanya saw Qing Chen come out, and immediately ran over happily from next door, “I’ve contacted the property company of this villa area, and today, a total of 12 surveillance cameras will be installed in this area. Qing Chen, don’t worry, none of the cameras are pointed at your villa. It’s mainly to monitor all roads, and it absolutely won’t affect your privacy.”

Luo Wanya continued, “I’ve set up a monitoring room in my villa, and I’ll have people watching the monitors in three shifts every day, and I absolutely won’t let any strangers approach your villa. Anyone who wants to approach must register with us first.”

Qing Chen listened to the other party’s eloquent words and thought that Luo Wanya was now like the security director of the Daybreak base, conscientious and dedicated.

“Thank you,” Qing Chen said and went back to continue giving Daybreak members guidance.

Not long after, Lu Yuan and Little Eagle arrived by car.

However, before they got close to Daybreak’s Villa No. 12, they saw a group of menacing people suddenly come out from the next door, each holding a stick.

One of them pointed a stick at Lu Yuan and the others, “What are you here for?”

Lu Yuan: “… ”

Little Eagle glanced at these idle social personnel and then at Lu Yuan, “Lu team, does Daybreak really live here? I feel like I’ve accidentally encountered a criminal gang.”

Lu Yuan was also a little confused. His intelligence was correct, Daybreak did move here.

However, at this moment, Luo Wanya rushed out from the villa next to Daybreak, shouting angrily, “Who told you to take out the sticks? Hide them and don’t show them! I’ve said it so many times, if someone comes, be polite and ask them to register, don’t scare them!”

After Luo Wanya drove his men away, he hurriedly came to the car and asked, “May I ask what you are here for?”

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, “I’m here to find Qing Chen and Liu Dezhu.”

“What are you looking for them for? Tell me, and I’ll inform them. Only if they agree to see you will I let you in,” Luo Wanya said politely.

Lu Yuan was full of question marks at this moment.

What exactly has Daybreak developed into?!

However, at this moment, Luo Wanya added, “But you’ve come at an inopportune time, they’ve all gone out. Why don’t you come again another day? May I ask your names so I can tell them who has been here.”

“Gone out?” Lu Yuan was startled, “Where did they go?”

“Confidential.”

Lu Yuan: “… ”

… …

At eight o’clock in the evening.

Under the night sky.

Luo Wanya pulled a black suitcase and quickly walked out of the villa.

He didn’t bring anyone with him, and drove towards King City Bridge alone.

In Luo City, a Luo River runs through the entire city, dividing the city in two.

King City Bridge is the transportation hub connecting the north and south urban areas.

After Luo Wanya arrived, he unloaded the suitcase filled with cash from the car and quietly waited, with a Bluetooth headset in his ear.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

He waited for a long time, but no one came to meet him.

It had been so long that he thought no one would come.

Luo Wanya said softly, “Boss, will the other party not come?”

“Wait a little longer,” a strange voice said in the Bluetooth headset.

Luo Wanya was excited. He had actually spoken directly to the boss.

He looked around. There were many pedestrians coming and going, and Luo Wanya couldn’t distinguish which one was the boss and which one was the one who came to meet him. Only Liu Dezhu and a few others were sitting in a restaurant by the roadside, quietly watching him.

In the afternoon, Lu Yuan went to the villa to look for Qing Chen but didn’t find him, precisely because Daybreak was going to come here to scout the area in advance.

“Boss, we haven’t found any suspicious people,” Liu Dezhu whispered.

However, at this moment, the ‘Boss’ in the Bluetooth headset suddenly said, “Autumn Snow, follow the Audi A6 that just passed by.”

Under the bridge, Jiang Xue stepped on the accelerator, “Boss, is there something wrong with this car?”

“Yes,” the Boss said in the Bluetooth headset, “In forty minutes, he has passed here three times. If twice is a coincidence, then three times is definitely not. The other party didn’t intend to take the cash, he just came to observe the situation. Remember his license plate number, Yu C512…”

Luo Wanya and the others from Daybreak were all stunned when they heard this.

On this Binhe North Road, at least 20 or 30 cars pass by every minute, so in forty minutes, there are nearly a thousand cars.

And this Boss, in this situation, could still remember the other party’s license plate number, and even remember how many times the other party passed by.

What kind of brain is this?

Those who came to observe the situation were also quite unlucky. They were already cautious enough, and they didn’t even dare to slow down when they passed here, but they didn’t expect to meet an observer with such a terrifying memory.

After Jiang Xue followed, Hu Xiaoniu and the others also drove the two Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-class cars given by Luo Wanya and chased after them.

The Boss occasionally reminded in the headset, “Autumn Snow, overtake and turn left, Xiaoniu’s car continues to follow, remember the cross-tracking principle, all vehicles should not stay in the other party’s sight for more than five minutes.”

Jiang Xue: “Received.”

Xiaoniu: “Received.”

At this time, Qing Chen was riding a shared electric bike, riding freely with Nangeng Chen in the slow lane.

Eight o’clock was the evening rush hour in Luo City, and the speed of all vehicles would not be faster than the electric bike.

But the other party certainly didn’t expect that the Daybreak boss was actually on an electric bike directing the whole operation.

The black Audi A6 didn’t turn back to King City Bridge, but drove north all the way, passing Fanglin Road, Kaixuan Road, and Zhongzhou Road, heading north.

Nangeng Chen sat behind the electric bike, turned off the Bluetooth headset’s call key and asked, “Chen, do you think those Time Travelers working for Shendai and Koshima are forced or voluntary?”

Qing Chen calmly said, “Don’t think about these questions, in an adversarial relationship, it’s pointless for you to pity the enemy.”

“Oh…”

“And, we don’t need to deal with these people,” Qing Chen said, “Send a message to Lu Yuan, let him bring people over, this is their responsibility.”

Watching the Audi A6 stop by the roadside, two men and two women got out of the car and walked into a restaurant, Qing Chen said in the Bluetooth headset, “Xiaoniu, Tianzhen, park your cars far away, Glacial Eyes and Little Duck go to the restaurant to eat, and wait for the Kunlun people to come.”

As he spoke, Qing Chen and Nangeng Chen walked in as if nothing had happened, each ordering a fried noodle, sitting several meters away from the two men and two women.

The moment Qing Chen sat down, his auditory ossicles became active.

This is why he wanted to enter this restaurant!

He heard one of the four Time Travelers say, “I’ve replied to my superiors, someone brought cash, but no suspicious people were seen nearby.”

Another man said, “Aren’t the superiors too cautious? You know there are two million cash in that box, and there’s no one following nearby.”

“The superiors said that the team in District 4 were all killed, and the fat man came to the appointment after being rescued, there must be a problem, let’s not think too much about it,” a girl said.

“Mm, let’s eat, tomorrow we have to go to Shendai Kongyin’s press conference, the superiors require us to open the music fountain in the square on time at the beginning of the press conference to cover the operation,” the first man to speak said.

The woman worried, “I think it’ll be a trap.”

“There’s no way, even if it’s a trap, we have to go.”

Qing Chen took a bite of the fried noodles and thought to himself that the trick of entrapment is really effective no matter what time it is.

However, what secrets does Shendai Kongyin still have, that even though the other party knew it was a trap, they still wanted to kill her?

Half an hour later, the four finished their meal and went out, but they were surrounded by more than ten Kunlun members, including Lu Yuan and Little Eagle, who were hidden at the door, and pressed to the ground.

Lu Yuan didn’t care about these people, but turned around and rushed into the restaurant to look for Qing Chen.

However, Qing Chen and Nangeng Chen, who should have been sitting there eating fried noodles, were gone.

“After the work is done, leave without a trace, and hide your merits and fame?” Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “This Daybreak is interesting.”

He suddenly realized that from some point on, this Daybreak organization had become a little incomprehensible.

This time, Qing Chen giving this information about the Time Travelers to Kunlun wasn’t for nothing.

Daybreak asked Kunlun to share the information about Shendai and Koshima’s reverse time travel plan, including the time, place, and number of people who came to Luo City.

This is an equal exchange of interests, and Daybreak has subconsciously put itself in an equal position with Kunlun.

Although they are still very weak.

… …

Luo City, Adin Peninsula Hotel, executive suite.

Shendai Kongyin’s room was full of Nine Provinces’ special personnel. They placed a huge map on the dining table. A girl named Tang Keke calmly said, “The defense work must be completed tonight. If we wait until tomorrow, it will be a little late. Within 800 meters of Quanshu Square, there are 7 buildings to pay attention to. The security guards in these places must be replaced by our people, so that if there are snipers, we can find out in time, after all, the sniper rifle is very large, and it can’t be hidden from our eyes.”

A young man named Yu Cheng said, “I agree with Keke’s plan. She hasn’t made any mistakes before. Although those people probably can’t get sniper rifles, they can’t bring this kind of thing through security checks, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

“By the way, didn’t Huan Yu say in He Xiaoxiao’s group that the sniper rifle of Daybreak’s boss is a Forbidden Artifact that can be put away inside the body?” someone said.

At this time, He Jinqiu, who was drinking coffee, said, “It’s okay, this seems to be a friendly force now, don’t worry about him.”

“Okay,” Tang Keke continued, “Shendai Kongyin’s press conference tomorrow will start at 9 am, at that time, Group 1 will be in plain clothes among the crowd, and Group 2 will be on guard outside. If I find that the communication channel has been invaded, I will say the four words ‘everything is normal’ in the channel. After everyone receives this instruction, immediately switch to the backup communication channel.”

At this time, Shendai Kongyin lay on the back of the sofa and stared blankly.

As if the things in the room had nothing to do with her.

Because of safety concerns, the curtains in the room were drawn to prevent anyone from peeking or sniping.

She looked at the curtains and thought to herself, “I wonder if that boy will come to see the scene when he hears that she’s going to hold a press conference? But, wasn’t Prison 18 destroyed by the Divine Scepter? How did he survive?”

…
