What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 138: Cross-Domain Relay

Zhang Qiren’s half-brother, Zhang Xiaoren, was investigated for tax evasion in the past. The amount involved was quite substantial, especially the crime of issuing false value-added tax invoices, which is a punishable offense. However, he ultimately only had to pay the back taxes and didn’t go to jail.

The reason for this outcome was quite normal, without any hidden agenda. It was simply because he had recently taken over the real estate company. Previously, he was in charge of the Miracle Nightclub, where he made quite a few mistakes. After that, Zhang Qiren took over the nightclub, and Zhang Xiaoren went to the real estate company.

So, the real estate company’s affairs had little to do with him. If there was any connection, it was only because of their father. In the end, the former person in charge of the company took all the blame and went in, while Zhang Xiaoren came out unscathed.

During the more than one month he was under investigation, he had no idea about the changes happening outside. When he came out, he found himself in a losing situation.

The Wang family, who had always been at odds with his own family, fell because of their involvement in drugs…

Nanjing had relatively strict control, and although there were “protective umbrellas,” overall, the crackdown on organized crime and evil was carried out quite strictly. Especially with Lin Wuyang from the Special Affairs Department keeping a close watch, the black forces involved in supernatural activities were not very complex.

With the downfall of the Wang family, although the Zhang family suffered setbacks due to their involvement in underground fighting and the investigation of the real estate company, they didn’t dare to show themselves in the short term. However, they could be considered a shining presence and the most outstanding figures. Given some time for development, they might even be able to dominate the underground forces.

And then, the old man inexplicably insisted on “observing and nurturing” that garbage illegitimate child. It seemed that he had offended too many people and voluntarily asked to be transferred. He went to that run-down import-export company outside the country which was only needed to facilitate the legitimate business of the family, and it could be said that it was more like an office than a real company. It had no real power and was almost starting from scratch…

Zhang Xiaoren didn’t believe that the illegitimate child could accomplish anything there. He shouldn’t pull off any tricks from the underworld playbook. If he offended the powerful figures in other countries, it would be ridiculous to end up with a dumped corpse in the wilderness.

The organization led by Iron Anvil also fell, and Iron Anvil himself was captured, with all the core members going down…

The Black Room group has also been quiet recently. They’re a bunch of funny individuals with supernatural abilities. Who knows when another Rong Fu will come and beat them?

All these incidents are closely related to Lin Wuyang, including Rong Fu, who was brought in by Lin Wuyang. Now he’s already being called the “Tiger of Nanjiang,” with a fearsome reputation.

However, the Special Affairs Division has been upgraded to the Special Affairs Bureau, and Lin Wuyang, on the surface, went from being a section chief to a deputy director. His rank hasn’t changed, but he lost his power and became a deputy. The Tiger of Nanjiang suddenly lost his teeth and turned into a sickly cat.

Zhang Xiaoren looked across Nanjiang and wondered who else was there!

This is the destiny of the protagonist!

Zhang Xiaoren was in high spirits, ready to make great strides.

He tried to win over Lin Wuyang but ended up with disappointment. It doesn’t matter; Lin Wuyang can’t accomplish anything now. With Lin Wuyang no longer watching, can’t the underground fighting that was shut down by that illegitimate child be restarted? It’s profitable, and it’s also very convenient for gathering forces of people with supernatural abilities.

Once I dominate this realm, the old man will naturally realize that the illegitimate child is useless and it should be me, Zhang Xiaoren!

“Moon Shadow, are you going back? I still have some use for this sea sand. Can we extend the deadline…” Chu Ge was receiving a visit from Moon Shadow. His first reaction was that she had come to ask for the sea sand.

Both Qiu Wuji and Chu Ge felt embarrassed. They had a time-limited item, but they didn’t make full use of it in a timely manner. Only when someone came to ask for it did they remember their need. It was truly… foolish to always have thoughts of love in their minds every day.

“Oh, no, it’s not like that.” Moon Shadow replied, “It hasn’t been a full month yet, and we agreed that I can’t take the sand before the time is up… Besides, I haven’t finished my task, so I’m still here.”

Chu Ge let out a sigh of relief and asked curiously, “I heard that the Wang family’s case has basically been resolved. You came to assist with the Wang family case, so how come you haven’t finished it?”

“What I’m doing is different from what Chief Lin is doing. We’re secretly tracking the Wang family’s drug distribution channels,” Moon Shadow whispered. “Once they found out that the Wang family had been exposed, they destroyed their original communication tools and moved to a different location. We can’t pinpoint their exact whereabouts from the Wang family anymore, so it’s a bit troublesome.”

Qiu Wuji sensed her intention and said, “You came to ask for our help?”

Moon Shadow felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Sister Qiu is the most powerful person with supernatural abilities that I have ever seen. You’re even more powerful than my instructor. There probably isn’t anyone in Nanjiang who’s more formidable than Sister Qiu.”

Qiu Wuji chuckled and said, “Haven’t you become naughty, learning how to butter people up.”

Moon Shadow lowered her head in embarrassment.

Chu Ge had a stern expression and said, “No, you’re not allowed to go.”

Qiu Wuji smiled faintly but didn’t say anything.

Moon Shadow felt awkward and said, “This is a publi—”

“Don’t talk about righteousness here. I won’t allow my Qiu Qiu to take risks in such a dangerous situation. You have a military force, and if you don’t want to use them, you can bring in fierce individuals from the capital. What’s the need to involve a mere civilian woman?”

Qiu Wuji smiled with narrowed eyes, only hearing that he didn’t want her to take risks and ignoring the rest.

Moon Shadow also felt a bit helpless and amused, “I’m not asking Sister Qiu to take risks. I just thought her ability related to spatial manipulation might be sensitive to these matters. Once we find the clues, we can handle it ourselves, without any risk to Sister Qiu’s information or safety.”

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment and glanced at Qiu Wuji.

If there’s no risk involved, it’s acceptable to ask for this kind of help. Although Qiu Wuji isn’t directly related to spatial manipulation, her knowledge is vast, so she shouldn’t have any problems with this. The main concern is that once she exhausts her power, she’ll have to return, and he’s reluctant to let her go. However, for now, there are no signs that Qiu Wuji won’t be able to come back. At most, it would be a few days of separation, which, compared to dealing with drug traffickers, seems…

Qiu Wuji smiled and said, “Punishing evil and upholding justice is the duty of the righteous path. Even if you try to stop me, I would still go.”

Chu Ge: “…”

If that’s what you were going to say, why are you smiling at me like that?

Qiu Wuji smiled and said, “I’m also free anyway. It’s good to go out and have some fun with Moon Shadow. You can stay at home and write, and practice your cultivation if necessary.”

She leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “We were just talking yesterday about whether too much comfort would dull us. Isn’t this an opportunity that came to us?”

Chu Ge responded irritably, “With your mindset, I’m afraid you won’t just quietly search for clues and leave. You’re probably going to actively stir up trouble.”

“Don’t worry.” Qiu Wuji’s eyes sparkled, and the corner of her lips casually brushed against his cheek. “I am Qiu Wuji, and I’ve walked through more rivers and lakes than they’ve eaten grains of rice.”

Chu Ge was taken aback for a moment, covering his face in astonishment and not saying a word.

On the other side, Moon Shadow had already developed goosebumps all over her body. This couple, whispering and having private conversations was one thing, but they even kissed in front of her…

“What’s wrong?” Qiu Wuji straightened her posture and looked around. “Did I accidentally touch you? What’s with that expression? Shall we go, Moon Shadow?”

Moon Shadow suddenly realized something. Could it be that Qiu Wuji was claiming sovereignty on Chu Ge in front of her?

Where did this wave of jealousy come from!

Chu Ge stood there foolishly, watching the two women walk away arm in arm, his cheek still tingling from that moment of tenderness.

Qiu Qiu is so charming now!

She teases me every day, making my heart itch, but doesn’t let me touch her. How am I supposed to live like this?

Angrily, Chu Ge returned to his room and placed the sand on his forehead, preparing to practice his Heaven Shaking Technique.

I’ll be able to defeat you! Just you wait!

However, he couldn’t concentrate on his cultivation at the moment. After all, Qiu Wuji’s current activities… Chu Ge still couldn’t feel completely at ease.

What she said was true. These people were not Yan Qianli. There was a vast difference in their abilities and combat experience. It should be said that if they caught Qiu Wuji’s attention, they should consider themselves unfortunate. But when it comes to caring, who would allow their wife to go out and fight while they stay at home to write and cultivate?

He couldn’t do it.

Who knows if the other side has guns? Does Qiu Wuji have enough psychological preparedness and experience to handle gunfights in this world?

But if he goes over there, it seems like he would only be a hindrance. What should he do?

Just as he was thinking about this, his consciousness connected with the book again, and he saw Qiu Wuji at Cloud Horizon Mountain, leaning against the window and gazing at the moon.

Qiu Wuji seemed to sense something. She looked at the moon for a while, then turned her head with a hint of teasing smile. “I saw something over there. I’ll give you a live account of it. Now you don’t have to worry, right? Let’s see how long your spirit can hold on and how long you can listen to the livestream… Good luck.”

Chu Ge blinked his eyes.

This sounded really fun…

By the way, what was that technique called where others could transmit messages over long distances in the cultivation world? Thousand Li Transmission? What would his own version be called? Cross-domain relay?
