Chapter 637: 394. No Hidden Dangers_2 Chapter 637: 394. No Hidden Dangers_2 Yan Chunmi: “Mom, rest assured, I’ll get it done as soon as possible.”

The host of the Taboo can choose to carry it on their person daily or not carry it at all.

For instance, on the day Qing Yi went to Intelligence Department Three to capture someone, the person was taken away in the afternoon, but Qing Chen encountered an accident several hours later.

For example, the materials once provided by Yan Chunmi showed that when Qing Yi’s teacher had an accident, Qing Xing was swimming in the Family Ginkgo Biloba Manor, carrying nothing on her.

If the other party indeed obtained a notebook, then they would write in the afternoon, “This evening, Qing Chen will encounter a car accident at the crossroad.”

Of course, this is just a hypothesis. In reality, writing one’s destiny would certainly be more complex.

Qing Chen suspected that the other party would not carry the Taboo item with them, and besides, no one had seen Qing Xing always carrying the same notebook.

According to speculation, Qing Xing must know the importance of the Taboo item, knowing that this particular Taboo item, among all, is surely the most valued and is likely to attract snatchers.

So, she always kept it hidden cautiously, never letting anyone know what the Taboo item was or where it was.

Due to this, it increased the difficulty for Qing Chen to snatch the Taboo item; he had to first find out what it was and where it was before he could even attempt to snatch it.

Otherwise, even if he killed Qing Xing, the Taboo item might still be hidden away by the adversary, continuing to remain sealed.

Qing Chen knew the difficulty of snatching the Taboo item was high, because even if he managed to snatch it, he did not want others to know that the object was in his possession.

Otherwise, he would end up like Qing Xing, constantly guarded by everyone, and any small accident would cause others to blame him.

At that moment, Yan Chunmi also realized a problem: her new boss was definitely targeting the Taboo item in Qing Xing’s possession.

Moreover, she realized another issue: this type of Taboo item that could write destiny, if it fell into the hands of this new boss, was bound to bring disaster to many.

However, over the years, several people had coveted the Taboo item in Qing Xing’s hands, and it seemed that none had discovered where Qing Xing had hidden it.

…
…
In a barbecue restaurant in District Five, Qing Chen was reluctantly eating synthetic meat that tasted like wax.

One must admit, sometimes he truly felt sad for the residents of the Inner World. With their level of technological advancement, they could have made this synthetic meat taste somewhat better, but in reality, the artificial meat from the Outer World tasted better than this stuff.

This shows that the consortium has completely abandoned quality assurance for taste and texture during production; they only need to ensure that the citizens can ingest the essential nutrients.

Nothing else matters.

Qing Chen glanced over at the next table only to find that the people there had added a lot of condiments to their barbecue, enjoying it with relish.

He looked elsewhere and saw that in this not-so-large barbecue restaurant, more than half of the patrons were eating absently, occasionally glancing outside.

Outside the restaurant, many people disguised as pedestrians gathered in the area.

This was the location Qing Chen had chosen for the exchange. In half an hour, he would be here, trading Jindai Yasuhara with an intelligence officer from Deer Island.

As the time for the transaction approached, the entire neighborhood was teeming with countless intelligence officers, a turbulent undercurrent running deep.

Qing Chen knew that people from the Jindai family had also come.

The transaction was secretive; Jindai didn’t know exactly what they were trading, but guessed that Deer Island must have brought out an important missing member of the Jindai family.

Just then, a few young people entered the restaurant.

Instantly, dozens of eyes in the barbecue restaurant turned towards them, sizing them up from head to toe.

Qing Chen was taken aback; he hadn’t expected the newcomers to be acquaintances.

Sun Chu Ci, Tuan Zi, and their teammates from the Wilderness Hunting Team.

Sun Chu Ci, sharp-eyed, saw Qing Chen sitting alone at a table eating barbecue as soon as she entered the shop.

“Ah!” Tuan Zi exclaimed excitedly: “Qing Chen, what are you doing here! What a coincidence!”

The next second, dozens of people in the restaurant stood up simultaneously, subtly protecting Qing Chen.

Sun Chu Ci and her companions were frightened by this scene. The dozens of solemn people watched them intently, everyone’s hands reaching inside their jackets, ready to draw guns.

They looked in horror at Qing Chen, who sat alone at the table. The young man remained calm, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere around him.

With the standing intelligence officers as a backdrop, it seemed as if, in the darkness of a stage, a lone spotlight suddenly shone down on Qing Chen, casting him as the protagonist.

Sun Chu Ci thought to herself, He really is an important figure, to need so many people just to come out for a barbecue!

Sun Chu Ci instinctively wanted to pull Tuan Zi and the others away, keenly aware that the presence of so many people indicated impending danger.

“Come sit down, I ordered too much barbecue and can’t finish it,” Qing Chen said with a smile, then turned to the intelligence officers of Unit 7 from Intelligence Department One and said, “Don’t be nervous, they’re my friends.”

After speaking, he turned to the trembling staff and owner in the corner, reassuring them: “We’ll pay as usual, we’ll leave when we’re done, and won’t damage your tables and chairs.”

The owner, seeing his approachable demeanor and good looks, slowly relaxed.

He then realized that his restaurant didn’t actually have any real customers at all; all the tables were occupied by the people the young man had brought.
