Chapter 123: The society declared one dead
Everything tonight happened all too suddenly.
Shocking events came one after another.
Qing Chen guessed that the Kamidai Family might have some secret plan to implement, which was why they didn't want people to know that they were there. To keep the secret, they wanted to kill Old Qin and his family.
However, before anything else could be done, another convoy arrived.
He felt that tonight had been too dramatic as if everything was carefully planned to happen all at the same time.
The convoy that came had no intention of avoiding the Kamidais. More than a dozen Boundary-011 drones approached the campsite and gradually covered everyone in their attack range.
It was the autumn hunting team.
On the small mountain road, the Kamidai Family's vehicles lined up side-by-side and blocked the way.
At first, it was to prevent Qin Cheng from running away, but now, it stopped the autumn hunting team from moving forward.
Leading the convoy was a large convertible truck with sturdy black crash barriers. It easily shoved aside the SUVs blocking the way.
There were obvious bullet holes and scratches on the team's vehicles, and there were even three that went missing.
A fierce female jumped down from the leading truck. It was Li Yinuo.
She walked straight into Kamidai's camp, and asked Kamidai Josuke directly as if no one else was there, "According to your plans, you should be on your way to City 7, right? What stopped you here?"
Qing Chen realized that Li Yinuo didn't appear here by accident. They were here for the Kamidais.
His teacher told him before that the Li Family was known for wanting to fight the Kamidais and Kashimas.
Kamidai Josuke saw Li Yinuo and stood up straight. He then bowed deeply, "Good to see you here Ms. Yinuo. It's quite unexpected that we would meet again so soon after parting in City 18."
Li Yinuo frowned, "You're well over twenty years older than me, what's up with you bowing to me? When can the Kamidais change this habit of fake politeness?"
Saying that, she walked to the bonfire and looked at the crying girl with a smile, "You're quite pretty, that Chen Leyou doesn't deserve your beauty. How about this, forget the Chen Family and come to my Li Family? I will treat you well."
Qing Chen trembled from shock, thinking that Li Yinuo was more aggressive than he had imagined at first.
Several young men came down from the convoy, and one from the truck that Li Yinuo was in walked up to the chief officer and chatted a little before coming to Li Yinuo's side to protect her.
Qing Chen quickly glanced at Li Shutong. As usual, his teacher was looking at all this with his arms crossed like watching a drama.
"Teacher? What now? What should we do?" Qing Chen asked.
"What's the hurry," Li Shutong said with a smile: "Of course, it's a good thing for someone else to deal with the situation for us. Although this little girl Li Yinuo looks a little unreliable, what she did was quite satisfying to my standards."
At this time, Li Yinuo was already sitting on the soft chair that originally belonged to Kamidai Josuke. She raised her head and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to go to the south to find Qing Huai, the eldest son of Qing's fourth branch? I heard that you want to marry Kamidai Sorane to Qing Huai instead, now that you know the person that Kamidai Sorane was about to marry has no power in hand… Strange, I don't even know the name of that Shadow candidate yet."
Kamidai Josuke answered, "We just passed by this place by chance and found that the autumn scenery here is similar to our homeland, so we decided to camp here."
Almost fifty years old, Kamidai Josuke stood next to Li Yinuo like a subordinate.
Many knew that the Kamidais were like this all the time, but only a few knew when it was time to be fierce, they could really reveal their sharp claws.
Li Yinuo sat on the soft chair and crossed her legs, "I heard that Qing Huai was not supportive of changing the marriage agreement himself, right? Kamidai Sorane doesn't seem to agree either, but you don't care what she thinks, so you're on your way to convincing Qing Huai in person. Am I wrong?."
At this moment, when Qing Chen heard the Fourth Branch of the Qing family in the conversation, it seemed that many things came together.
The assassins who wanted to kill him before in the prison were also from the Fourth Branch.
And it seemed like the trip with Li Shutong also had something to do with the Fourth Branch. So, everything was part of his teacher's plan.
Qing Chen looked at his teacher, who was sitting beside him, in silence.
Li Shutong also glanced at him with a smile and said nothing.
Li Yinuo sneered and said to the people of the Kamidai Family, "Stop playing these little tricks. I advise you to go back to the north obediently."
Kamidai Josuke slightly bent his body but did not give in with his words. He said, "Are you representing the Li Family right now? I am afraid that the Li Family does not have the power to order the Kamidai Family."
Instantly, the atmosphere in the camp intensified.
Kamidai Family's men started moving to their battle formation, while the people behind Li Yinuo stayed in place.
Li Shutong whispered to Qing Chen, "Let me translate what Kamidai Josuke said for you…"
"Teacher, please," said Qing Chen, "Don't insult my IQ."
"Fine," said Li Shutong, feeling a little regretful.
Li Yinuo smiled and stood up. She shouted to the autumn hunting team, "We're camping here tonight. From now on, we'll be with the Kamidai Family. After all, we have to accompany our foreign guests and treat them well."
After speaking, she walked toward an empty spot right beside the Kamidai Family's camp.
When Li Yinuo passed by Qin Cheng, she suddenly said in surprise, "Who are you now?"
Qin Cheng said quickly, "We're just a passing hunting team. Our drones got destroyed by your team earlier, and you paid for the damages. We just happen to be here, but the Kamidai Family want to kill us to keep their location a secret."
At this time, the wisest choice was to pick a side.
Li Yinuo glanced behind Qin Cheng, and she smiled, "I remember you now. Don't worry about the Kamidais. You can campus next to us and travel with us."
Qin Cheng quickly accepted the offer, and said, "Yes, I will, thank you very much!"
Qin Yiyi sighed in relief at the back, "Wow, that was close. We got lucky that the autumn hunting team is here."
Qing Chen glanced at his teacher beside him and thought that it was indeed close. The members of the Kamidai Family here almost all died today.
Li Yinuo returned to her car, picked up a person from the passenger's seat, and walked back to the camp.
When she walked past Qing Chen, the person who was being held in her hand looked at Qing Chen with despair…
In that despair, there was also some embarrassment…
Obviously, that guy recognized Qing Chen.
The ash on Qing Chen's face may hide his face from others, but it certainly was not enough to hide from Nan Gengchen.
From this moment on, Nan Gengchen has already socially died.
People say a person has to die three times. The first one would be physical death when one's heart stopped pumping.
The second was when society declared one's death.
The third was when one has been forgotten by the last person who remembered him/her.
However, some people were special. They have been declared dead by society without experiencing the first death.
Countdown hit zero. They returned to the Outer World.
