Li Muchen came out of the basement with Ding Xiang.
The sunshine in the yard is soft and bright, but the sun has obviously tilted towards the west.
The shadow of the broken statue stretched long to the corner of the yard, and climbed along the wall to the rafters.
Li Muchen was suddenly startled.
Because Peter's broken arm is missing.
The bloodstains on the ground and the remains of the statue were also cleaned up.
who is it?
Li Muchen jumped up, climbed to the roof, let go of his consciousness, and scanned the entire church.
nobody.
He fell back to the ground and stared blankly at the setting sun.
The rapid ringing of his cell phone woke him up.
"Mu Chen, where are you? Why can't you get through the phone just now?" Lin Manqing's tone was very anxious, "Dingxiang can't be found. I can't get through Dingxiang's phone number, and there's no one in the dormitory. I'm going to the student union today to do some errands. I'll be there when I get back.
Her phone number can’t be reached. Yang Hanyue, who is accompanying her, can’t be reached either.”
Li Muchen comforted him: "Manqing, don't worry, Dingxiang is fine. She is here with me. We were in the basement just now, so there may be no signal."
"At your place? What basement?" Lin Manqing felt something was wrong, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Was there someone named Zhong Chen who called you away today?" Li Muchen suddenly asked.
"Yes, how do you know?" Lin Manqing said in surprise.
"Where are the others?"
"He went to attend the orientation party. He originally asked me to go too, but I couldn't find Lilac, so I refused." Lin Manqing said, "I was planning to call Zhong Chen and ask him to look for Yang Hanyue."
"Shouldn't Dingxiang also attend the welcome party?"
"Hey, it's not the school's orientation party, it's just a small circle of young men and young ladies from aristocratic families. They also welcomed me when I registered last year. This year's protagonist seems to be the young master of the Xu family in Suzhou."
"Master Xu..." Li Muchen muttered, "Where is the location?"
"At the Lakeside Clubhouse."
"You call Zhong Chen now and tell him that you will go too." Li Muchen suddenly said, "But you don't need to mention Ding Xiang, I will be here soon."
"good."
Lin Manqing didn't hesitate at all. She believed that what Li Muchen said must have his reason.
Although Li Muchen said it was okay, Lin Manqing's intuition told her that something must have happened. Moreover, it was probably related to Zhong Chen.
Li Muchen hung up the phone, originally wanting to send Ding Xiang back to school.
But now, I am not sure whether the school is safe or not. There must be someone behind Zhong Chen's back. This matter is obviously directed at him, most likely the Yuan family.
In addition, it is also necessary to find out whether this Zhong Chen has a direct relationship with the Sun Holy Cult. It would be better if some more clues to the Sun Holy Cult could be traced from him.
Therefore, Li Muchen decided to take Ding Xiang with him to the Lakeside Club.
He searched around the church room but could not find any information about the holy religion.
It seems that they are all in that basement.
The purpose of the mechanism Peter activated was not only to kill people, but also to destroy evidence.
Li Muchen found a piece of paper, hurriedly wrote a few words, and drew the shape of the sun cross and the location of the church in Qiantang, then took out a seal and stamped it on the paper.
Finally, the paper was folded into a paper crane.
He put the paper crane in the palm of his hand, blew a breath, and raised his hand, the paper crane flew up gracefully, as if alive, facing the setting sun in the west, flew westward, and disappeared in the glow of the sun.
The blue bird carries messages to and from Kunlun.
This is the method created by the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, which was passed down to future generations.
Of course, modern technology is advanced, and mobile phone communication is more convenient than the blue bird to send messages. But there is no signal on Kunlun Mountain, so Tiandu disciples still have to rely on this method to send messages to their masters.
With the Heavenly Capital Seal, no one dares to intercept it, and no one can forge it.
…
There were many people gathered in the Lakeview Hall on the second floor of the Lakeside Club, including men and women, all of whom looked like young students.
It can be seen from the words and deeds of these people that they are all pampered and wealthy children.
Zhong Chen was chatting and laughing with a tall young man.
"Mr. Xu, it's such an honor for us that you can come to Nanjiang University!" Zhong Chen said with a bit of a flattering smile.
"Chairman Zhong was joking. Nanjiang University is a famous university in China. It should be an honor for me, Xu Xiaobei, that I can study at Nanjiang University."
Xu Xiaobei's "Chairman Zhong" call made Zhong Chen smile with joy.
He didn't expect that the son of Jiangdong Tiger Xu Tong would be so approachable and without any pretensions.
Zhong Chen can be considered a child of an aristocratic family, but compared with people like Yuan Shijie and Xu Xiaobei, he is far behind.
But he is eloquent, has good academic performance, is excellent in all aspects, and has become the chairman of the student union. He is very prestigious among students, which makes up for the shortcomings of his family background to a certain extent.
"Master Xu is being humble. Who doesn't know the reputation of your father, Xu Tong, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River? When Master Xu comes to Qiantang, it means that the dragon is crossing the river. From now on, we will have another dragon on the border of Qiantang!" Zhong Chen said flatteringly.
Xu Xiaobei's expression didn't change much, and he couldn't tell whether he was taking advantage of it or not.
This made Zhong Chen wary. I'm afraid this Mr. Xu from Jiangdong is not someone who can be beaten by a few flatterers. He should be cautious in dealing with him in the future.
It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and Xu Xiaobei is a dragon that crosses the river, but Zhong Chen dare not say that he is a local snake. With the strength of the Xu family, squeezing him to death would be like killing an ant.
"Thank you, Chairman Zhong, for your hospitality today." Xu Xiaobei said politely, "Chairman Zhong has taken the trouble!"
Zhong Chen said: "Master Xu, although I am in charge today, there is someone else planning this game."
"Oh? I don't know which friend it is. If I don't propose a glass of wine, I, Xu Xiaobei, would be too rude." Xu Xiaobei looked for him in the crowd with his wine glass.
"It's Yuan Shijie, the son of the Yuan family in Qiantang. He booked today's venue and arranged the program. However, he is not a student of Nanjiang University and it is not appropriate to attend the orientation meeting, so he did not come. Mr. Yuan asked me to apologize to you on my behalf.
I said I would treat you to a drink alone some other time."
Xu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If anything, I should be the one to apologize. Tell Mr. Yuan that I will visit you someday."
"good."
Zhong Chen raised his wine glass and smiled slightly. The first task of the day was completed.
I just don’t know what’s going on with Yang Hanyue.
He asked Yang Hanyue to introduce Dingxiang to the foreigner named Tom. With this guy's lustful nature, he must be coveting Dingxiang and would never let it go.
But Zhong Chen discovered that he suddenly couldn't contact Yang Hanyue.
He was a little worried that the foreigner wouldn't want to take it all and get Yang Hanyue too, right?
Thinking about it, I don't think so. He is the president of the student union, and Tom has some friendship with him. Although these Westerners have a very weak concept of friendship, unless he doesn't want to hang out at Nanjiang University, he probably won't attack Yang Hanyue.
