When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1240 - 809: Trap (Part 2)

"Then why have you come to find me?" Lu Zhiwei inquired.

"We can’t find Old Master Xiang Qingde, but we heard that Miss Lu Zhiwei and Mr. Xiang Beifei had a great relationship back then. So, we thought Mr. Xiang Beifei would have entrusted you to take care of his grandfather, which is also why we came to find Miss Lu Zhiwei. We hope Miss Lu Zhiwei can tell us where Old Master Xiang Qingde is, so we can relay Mr. Xiang Beifei’s message to him."

Xu Chiyuan’s tone was sincere and genuine, filled with gratitude for Xiang Beifei’s life-saving grace and the determination to fulfill Xiang Beifei’s entrustment.

"What we don’t understand is, why can’t we find Old Master Xiang Qingde’s whereabouts?" Hu Jiudie asked beside him.

Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly, and said: "Xiang Beifei used to be a celebrity, and now that he is gone, we worry about those media disturbing Grandpa Xiang, so we specifically protected him."

"Miss Lu Zhiwei, could you introduce us? We only want to relay Mr. Xiang Beifei’s request. This is very important to us; he saved us, so we must deliver the message." Xu Chiyuan earnestly said.

Lu Zhiwei immediately responded: "Okay, I will help introduce you. But not now, I must be responsible for escorting these people to a safe city. Other cities have not yet evacuated, once we are done with these tasks, I will take you there."

Hu Jiudie said seriously: "But this matter is crucial, we must find Old Master Xiang immediately!"

"Lives are more crucial!" Lu Zhiwei said sternly, "The desolate beasts are attacking, I have my duties."

"But this relates to the reasons behind the desolate beast outbreak and his parents’ matters, we must hurry!" Hu Jiudie emphasized.

Lu Zhiwei thought for a moment, and said: "Alright, you go wait for me outside Beilin Street at Beifei Park in the West Administrative Region first. I’ll come to find you at midnight once I’m done with these tasks."

Hu Jiudie wanted to say something more, but Xu Chiyuan signaled her with a glance, and said: "Thank you very much, Miss Lu Zhiwei. Indeed, we must prioritize the big picture now; we will wait there without disturbing Miss Lu’s work."

The two nodded before leaving the street.

Lu Zhiwei watched their departing figures, involuntarily touching her chin, but said nothing further and continued with her task of evacuating the citizens.

——

——

Liangzhou West Administrative Region, Beifei Park.

Beifei Park was established in the name of "Xiang Beifei." About ten years ago, a One-Armed Crab attack occurred on this street and Xiang Beifei alone managed to kill the crab, saving countless lives.

Later, during the city’s reconstruction, a small park was built here, and everyone unanimously decided to name it "Beifei Park." Xiang Beifei is highly reputable here as he is a representative figure of N-level rise and a hero who saved citizens.

This place is somewhat inland, relatively far from Jiuzhou’s border and doesn’t need evacuation for now. The residential area is relatively calm, although everyone is aware of the desolate beast attack event, there’s not much they can do; besides worrying about friends and family on the front line, life continues.

However, a large influx of residents shifted from other border administrative regions here, so even in the evening, the roadside is still crowded and noisy. Liangzhou University’s Martial Arts College students are maintaining order, arranging residences crafted by space systems for everyone, handling people’s living needs.

At midnight, the city finally calmed down, and the park also seemed much quieter.

"It’s so odd, not even in Kong’s Mansion banquet, how did they manage to hide Xiang Qingde?" Xu Chiyuan sat on the park bench, tapping his crossed legs, puzzled.

They had already visited Kong Daming’s shop, but Kong Daming and his wife have gone to the front line; both are retired pioneers, yet when the desolate beast attack happens, they unhesitatingly arm themselves again, defending Jiuzhou.

Before leaving, they lent the store to the alliance, using it to shelter residents evacuated from other places. The shop assistants are busy. Xu Chiyuan searched around and even scoured Kong Daming’s house, yet nothing was found, still unable to locate Xiang Qingde.

"They went through so much effort to protect an N-level useless old man, seems like our guess was correct." Hu Jiudie said.

"We’ll find out in a moment." Xu Chiyuan laughed.

Tapping sounds!

Footsteps resounded under the shade.

Lu Zhiwei emerged slowly from the darkness.

Xu Chiyuan immediately stood up from the bench, saying: "Miss Lu Zhiwei, we’ve been expecting you."

Lu Zhiwei crossed her arms in front of her chest, gauging Xu Chiyuan, without immediately replying.

"Miss Lu Zhiwei, could you take us to meet Old Master Xiang?" Xu Chiyuan asked.

"It’s possible, but there are a few things that need confirmation." Lu Zhiwei slowly said.

"Miss Lu Zhiwei, please go ahead."

"Speak honestly, where are you from!" Lu Zhiwei raised her voice.

Xu Chiyuan’s smile faltered slightly, and said: "Miss Lu Zhiwei, what do you mean?"

"Do you take me for a fool? It’s clear you’re pioneers, isn’t that obvious to me? First, if Xiang Beifei had something to convey to his grandfather, he’d certainly have you go to Professor Luo, not come to me! Secondly, pioneers should never leave their posts at any time, especially during a desolate beast attack, no matter the urgency, one shouldn’t leave the frontline, unless a certain desolate beast infiltrated, then there’s the audacity to roam everywhere! Lastly, anyone who inquires about Grandpa Xiang’s matters will be captured and punished!"

Lu Zhiwei stated calmly.

She unconsciously checked her system interface:

[Current Reasoning Accuracy Rate: 81.2%]

She’s not the naive girl she once was, following Xiang Beifei around, with a dismal reasoning accuracy rate. Eight years ago, Xiang Beifei specially had Helian Zheng return, integrating system-related reasoning capabilities for her, which she practiced arduously over eight years, raising her reasoning accuracy from 11% to 81.2%!

As soon as these two appeared during the day, Lu Zhiwei relied on her keen perceptive ability to sense their abnormality, though she had work during the day, so she specifically postponed matters to handle them at night.

Xu Chiyuan and Hu Jiudie clearly didn’t anticipate Lu Zhiwei doubting their identities, Xu Chiyuan especially, always believing Lu Zhiwei to be a reckless girl, not so meticulous, but the fact proved otherwise.

"You’re surely those annoying Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, trying to sneak through, dream on!"

Lu Zhiwei swayed her arms sideways, fists clenched, explosive flames surged from her arms, emitting dazzling brilliance!

"Seems Miss Lu Zhiwei underestimated yet again, interesting, interesting."

Xu Chiyuan appeared unfazed, admiringly looked at Lu Zhiwei, then smirked mischievously: "But you overlooked one thing, if you think you alone can handle us both, that’s naive, your penchant for daring seems unchanged."

"Daring?" Lu Zhiwei snorted softly.

Xu Chiyuan’s gaze hardened, promptly turned his head left.

A shadow had already stood on the left, half of its body merged with shadows, unclear of features, standing there like a wraith.

However, the aura emanating from the other side made Xu Chiyuan feel stifled.

A Heavenly Connection expert!

Soon, Xu Chiyuan sensed another aura abruptly appearing behind them!

A second Heavenly Connection expert!

Then rapidly, the front revealed a third and fourth Heavenly Connection shadow!

A total of four Heavenly Connection experts!

Xu Chiyuan and Hu Jiudie were taken aback, initially aiming to trap Lu Zhiwei, but they unexpectedly fell into Lu Zhiwei’s ambush!

"You now have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become——"

Suddenly, an intense aura erupted from Lu Zhiwei.

"Your last words!"
