Chapter 399: Disorder
Translator: Lonelytree
“Nanxing, I have done nothing wrong. I need to survive.” Ye Qian’s pitiful voice rang in my ears.
What a show that was!
Ye Qian’s survival was always built on another person’s destruction.
Fact one: Jing Tian was betrayed.
Fact two: The people who betrayed him were from the Jing Family.
Fact three: The culprit was most definitely Jing Ning and Ye Qian.
However, who had they sold Jing Tian to? What did the person want with Jing Tian?
I looked around and asked, “Where are we?”
Gao Da smiled wryly. “This is a small hotel in Chinatown. It used to belong to Ardent Flame Alliance. However, I can’t find any of our people here. We’ll only go into radio silence mode when we’re in extreme danger protocol. But only Master Qi and I are able to send out that protocol.”
I looked at him blankly. “You mean, someone else has disguised as either of you to make everyone disappear?”
Gao Da nodded. “It’s not disappearance. Our people merely go into hiding. This is to reduce the number of losses.”
“Does this happen often?” I asked.
“Of course, not. In fact, other than the first rehearsal, I don’t think this protocol has ever been activated.” Gao Da said. That made sense. If they went into hiding every time something happened, why would they join the underworld? It was better to live a common life if they were so afraid of danger.
I thought for a while. “So no one can issue this protocol except you and Jing Tian?”
Gao Da nodded.
“Are you sure you didn’t do that accidentally?” I looked at him.
Gao Da smiled bitterly and reached out to wipe his tired face. “Young Miss…”
I raised my hand in surrender.
“Then, is there a way to waive this protocol? The people can’t be in hiding forever, right?” If that was the case, this would be disbandment and not a lie-down. Gao Da was restless, so I didn’t want to provoke him further.
“There’s a signal to end the protocol.” Gao Da admitted.
I nodded. “You haven’t sent out the signal because you still don’t know who issued the protocol in the first place? You fear this might be a trap?”
Gao Da nodded.
I sighed in relief, “Jing Tian released the protocol.”
Gao Da looked at me. “How can you tell?”
I looked back at him, “Brother Gao Da, that’s what you’re thinking too, right?”
Gao Da didn’t answer.
I sighed.
“Only the two of you can release this protocol. Since you didn’t do it, then it has to be Jing Tian. At least this proves Jing Tian is not in danger.” I muttered.
Gao Da’s expression was complicated, “Nanxing, thankfully you’re here. You’re right. I also believe it was Master Qi who released the protocol. However, I based that on my trust and understanding of Master Qi.
“Nanxing, if you think the same way, then I believe we’re right. Yes, Master Qi is safe. He has to be!”
I shook my head gently. “Not necessarily. What if someone forced Jing Tian to issue this protocol?”
Gao Da was stunned. He looked like he was about to cry.
I held my head with both hands. “Forget it. We can’t be sucked into this whirlpool, or we’ll both die from depression. Right now, we need to know what had happened to the global hacker competition where my little uncle and my friends are, as well as what had happened back in China.”
Gao Da looked like he had taken a roller-coaster. That was evident from the changing expressions on his face..
