Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 40 Searching for People

"Mr. Lin, come here." Jiang You waved to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to Jiang You. He followed Jiang You's line of sight and saw Jin Cheng, "He has been waiting there?"

"Why don't you go talk to him?"

"Do you want to find out some information?" Lin Yu asked.

"He must know something. I just took so much effort to explain the pros and cons to Lao Chang. I thought he would call him up."

"Is there something wrong with Chang Lizhang?" Tang Butian asked.

"Not necessarily. He has some connections with the research institute. He must have gone to ask for instructions there. As for them... Mainly, I want to drink something cold. See if there is any coffee or milk tea shop nearby and buy a few smoothies." Jiang You threw the cigarette butt into the mineral water bottle, and the remaining half bottle of water was instantly dyed light brown.

Jiang You screwed the cap on the bottle of mineral water and said, "You two had a good chat on the train. He should take the initiative to talk to you."

"What flavor do you want?"

"All right."

"What if he tricks me into telling lies?" Lin Yu was a little worried.

"How could that be, Mr. Lin, don't underestimate yourself," Jiang You looked at Lin Yu sincerely, "You know nothing, what can he get out of you?"

"Yeah, I'll go then." Lin Yu walked out of the office swiftly.

After the door closed, Jiang You heard Tang Butian ask him, "Did you take him in as your follower?"

"You figured it out?" He closed the window, walked back to his desk, pulled up a folding chair and sat down. "The institute couldn't solve his problem, so I did. I'm not doing charity."

“You’re the head of a charity.”

"I'm retired, I'm retired," Jiang You leaned back and looked at Jiang Mo who was squatting on the ground studying the carpet pattern. "I don't have a pension, and I have to raise a kid. How can I not save a little?"

“At what age did you retire?”

"Let me think about it," Jiang You counted carefully on his fingers for a long time, and then he said with certainty: "38 years old, plus the 28 years I have lived in this life, that's 66 years old, which means I have worked 6 years longer than the legal retirement age."

“How many zeros are missing?”

"Not one is missing, really."

Jiang You looked at Tang Butian's suspicious eyes and added, "Time and space are part of the rules. There are many places outside the rules where there is no concept of time. There is nothing there."

"sophistry."

Jiang You smiled, "So some beings in the chaos always want to return to the age of gods, when they had tremendous magical powers, wantonly destroyed the rules, plundered resources and enslaved humans. But now, they either have to collect the four sets of magic to come in and watch, which is quite dangerous. If they are not careful, they will be dispersed by you law enforcers and turned into nutrients to nourish the world, or they find various loopholes to sneak in, most of which are also used as nutrients. The way of heaven is very bad."

"What about you?"

"I like this era. I plan to pass on my excellent genes here," Jiang You turned his head and looked at Jiang Mo, "Did you hear me? Give me more grandchildren to play with in the future."

Jiang Mo stood up, walked to the window, stood on tiptoe and looked out.

"So, boss, while you are still in this position, please find me some more benefits. Raising a child is expensive. He has a talent for painting and will probably pursue an artistic career in the future, which will be even more expensive." Jiang You straightened his upper body and reached out to pick up Zheng Yuantai's sword. "Does the research institute attach great importance to alien spiritual power?"

"That's right. Initially, the mountain was unwilling to cooperate with the institute. Those who wanted to be born could go down the mountain on their own. The mountain did not restrict them. The mountain was not a force, but just a place for a group of practitioners to practice. Most of us think so."

"What happened next?" Jiang You asked.

"The Buddhist sect discovered that spiritual power was abnormal and believed that the way of heaven would change. At that time, Master Zhong had not yet become the master. When he was traveling in the mountain, he met Zhuang Zekun. The research institute discovered the existence of different spiritual powers. With the support of the Buddhist sect, Master Zhong became the representative of the mountain and cooperated with all parties."

"You know it very well ."

"I'm not stupid."

"Not silly, not stupid, not sweet."

"Can you see alien spiritual power?"

"I think so," Jiang You played with the sword, "It's just a more active spiritual power, nothing special. Why don't you get a wooden sword? It will look cooler if you slash with the sword."

“He’s a good man.”

"I guess so."

Tang Butian pursed her lips, picked up the wooden sword and stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang You asked.

"Go to Jiujin Mountain."

"No hurry, wait till we figure things out..."

"You said that he has a chance of survival."

"How are you going to find him? Stand at the place where he disappeared, use your wooden sword to break the rules, and then search the three thousand worlds with your divine sense?"

Tang Butian pursed her lips.

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Jiang You said.

The office door was pushed open, and Chang Lizhang walked in with a man in his early thirties. "Chief Tang, this is Shao Lang, Zheng's former partner. He was in a meeting just now, so he's a little late."

"Hello, Chief Tang, I'm Shao Lang," Shao Lang walked up to Tang Butian, "What should I do to save Brother Zheng?"

"Tell me about what happened three years ago." Jiang You said.

"Three years ago?" Shao Lang looked at Jiang You with some confusion.

"Yes, something happened in the plastic factory near Chucheng No. 1 Middle School."

"Is this related to Brother Zheng's disappearance?" Shao Lang asked.

"We need to know what he is fighting against before we can locate him," Jiang You looked at Tang Butian and explained, "and then find a way to bring him back."

Boom boom boom.

There was another knock on the door.

"Come in."

This time it was Lin Yu, who was holding , with four cups of smoothies in each bag, and Jin Cheng following behind him.

"Jin Cheng? Didn't I ask you to wait..." Chang Lizhang looked a little unhappy.

"I met him when I was buying drinks," Lin Yuxian handed a glass of smoothie to Jiang You, "He said he had a clue, so I brought him here."

Red pitaya yogurt smoothie.

The color combination is very nice.

Jiang You took a sip; it was cool, sweet and very delicious.

He said to Chang Lizhang, "One more person means more help, or are you hiding something from us?"

"No, but..." Chang Lizhang hesitated.

"What is it?" Jiang You asked, his tone a little heavy, "Is there anything you can't tell the section chief?"
