Chapter 106 Ye Qingheng
Chapter 102 Ye Qingheng
In the event of a disaster, the police acted quite quickly, clearing and isolating all unrelated individuals from the upscale villa community in less than twenty minutes.
During this time, Bai Chen also learned about the current situation from Nan Tian, who was constantly wiping away sweat.
Compared to last month, the number of disasters worldwide has increased by 30% this month, and many previously recorded disasters have also begun to evolve significantly.
Although the situation is still largely under control, some areas are showing signs of spiraling out of control, and it is only a matter of time before a complete collapse occurs.
As if he had thought of something, Nan Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and added another sentence.
"Of course, it's not all bad. While many new disasters have emerged, there are also a few troublesome disasters that have suddenly disappeared for some reason."
"----for example?"
"Uh—for example, there's a Class B disaster in the neighboring city called the Midnight Bus. The main body of this disaster is a bus that appears at midnight every night and travels on a certain route. Once someone gets on this bus, they will be taken to an unknown place and disappear from sight."
After a pause, Nan Tian continued.
"Some players tried to go up and explore, but none of the players who boarded that bus returned. Even if they tried to destroy the bus with physical means, a new bus would reappear in the fog. All we can do is monitor that section of road in real time. Although there is no solution to this disaster, because its occurrence range is fixed and its harm is not very great, its danger level is only ranked as B."
"Did the disaster just disappear on its own?"
As if he had thought of something, Bai Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Uh—I guess so?"
There's some uncertainty about the situation in the south.
"It used to appear on that street every night at midnight, but it hasn't shown up for almost a week now. We can assume it's disappeared, but we still need to keep a close watch on that street for at least a month. — So, have you contacted the owner of this villa yet?"
Seeing the staff member walking towards him, Nan Tian quickly asked.
"No, we can't get in touch with them."
Holding a document in his hand, the person looked troubled.
"In fact, according to our investigation, the owner of this villa had already disappeared more than a month ago."
"Missing—were they interrogated?"
Unconsciously, Nan Tian frowned.
What is the relationship between those people and the owner of this villa?
"Uh...it's an uncle-aunt relationship."
After glancing at the documents in his hand, the staff member's expression became somewhat subtle for some reason.
"The people who were originally having a party while digging a swimming pool in the villa were the homeowner's uncle and aunt. According to them, they didn't know where their niece had gone."
In the end, the staff member simply put down the documents in his hand.
"To put it simply, it's a shameless family that came here to take advantage of a young girl who has no descendants. They wanted to sneak in while she was in college and seize the inheritance left by her parents."
The staff looked at the villa, which was under heavy security, with expressions of disgust.
"The reason they wanted to re-dig the swimming pool was because the weather was too hot. So they secretly contacted a construction team and made arrangements in advance. The property management of the community was also bribed. The construction team has now been taken into custody. They were completely untraceable and belong to the kind of team that specializes in doing illegal work."
"Leave those matters to the police; we'll handle our own affairs."
Feeling rather irritated, Nantian wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The weather has been unusually hot lately, and it's midday now. Standing under the blazing sun feels like being in an oven. He had already worked three consecutive days of shifts, and now the sun is making his headache even worse.
—Perhaps it's time for me to apply for a player slot?
Nan Tian glanced at the person next to him who was completely clean and without a trace of sweat, and muttered something to himself.
"Go and rest, leave this to me."
Seeing Nan Tian's pale face, Qin Feng, who had already set up the defenses and walked over, frowned.
"It's okay, I can manage."
Nan Tian waved his hand and turned to look at Bai Chen.
"The original homeowner most likely died in the disaster, so following the order, the next family to be teleported into the villa should be that uncle and aunt's family, and then you. I'm already urgently requesting strategy information for the game 'Crazy Farmer' from above. If you need help, we can send people over."
"It's okay, let's see."
Shrugging, Bai Chen handed over a freshly cut slice of watermelon as if nothing had happened.
"How about a slice of melon? This melon is guaranteed to be ripe."
Nantian: "——————"
As time went by, the atmosphere around the villa visibly became tense.
Although he disliked the family of the culprits, Qin Feng, adhering to his principles, still had someone explain the general information to them.
After realizing this was no joke, and seeing the heavily armed police around her, the aunt who had been cursing loudly just moments before collapsed to the ground, her lips trembling so much that she couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
------
After glancing over there, Qin Feng looked away with a hint of disgust.
They had held out some hope, but now it seems that the family, who were so scared that they wet themselves, probably won't last even half an hour.
And after that—
Turning his head slightly, Qin Feng looked at the two people sitting on the bench eating melon seeds.
To be honest, he had absolutely no idea where the relaxed feeling around the two of them came from.
Because he thought he might need a helper, Bai Chen specifically asked Su Qun to come over.
Just as Qin Feng was pondering in his heart, as if sensing something, his expression suddenly sharpened, and he quickly turned his head to look at the lawn of the villa.
However, the next second, when he saw the figure appear on the lawn, he couldn't help but be stunned.
No way—he's been missing for almost a month, how could he still be alive?
Instead of the family weeping and wailing not far away, a black-haired girl in casual clothes, holding a teacup and looking somewhat indifferent, appeared on the lawn.
The girl was clearly stunned by her sudden appearance there.
"Um—doesn't this person look familiar?"
Seeing the figure appear on the lawn, holding a slice of watermelon, Bai Chen turned to look at Su Qun beside him with a somewhat subtle expression.
"Her clothes and teacup seem to be—"
"You don't recognize him?"
Su Qun's eyes widened as he was interrupted.
"Ye Qingheng, the girl you confessed to and got rejected, I never expected she'd live here too—wow, what a coincidence!?"
As if he had just thought of something, Suqun suddenly became excited.
"Don't hesitate, Lao Bai, hurry up and go for it! This is a great opportunity to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. Who knows, she might just fall for you!"
At this moment, the girl also noticed them. When she saw them sitting together on a stool, sneaking around and eating melon seeds, Bai Chen clearly saw the girl roll her eyes at them.
Bai Chen: "————"
That familiar eye roll—yes, I'm sure, it must be Yuan Qing.
