Chapter 1327: The World Changes After the Ice
Chapter 1327: The World Changes After the Ice
"Old Qin, do you think this person is Chu Chen?"
In a spacious office in the capital, Nangong Yue frowned as she looked at the documents in her hand and asked a question.
"Everything is possible."
"A madman, asking everyone he meets what their wishes are, and then granting those wishes—if this person is Chu Chen, then what is he doing?"
Nangong Yue asked, somewhat puzzled.
Old Qin pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "Perhaps he's bored. Why don't you go and remind him that those few forces, like malignant tumors, are watching him."
After listening, Nangong Yue nodded: "Then I will set off immediately."
Huaguo, a land in the southwestern border region.
A dirty SUV entered a small town.
A moment later, a clean-looking man got out of the SUV.
After looking around at the dilapidated surroundings, I went straight into a fast food restaurant.
"Boss, I'd like a quick meal."
"Okay, please sit down for a moment, it will be ready soon!"
After a period of smoke and fire, a dish that didn't look very appetizing was placed in front of Chu Chen.
It was midday, but there weren't many people in the fast food restaurant.
So Chu Chen asked, "Boss, this little shop must be making a lot of money!"
The boss chuckled helplessly after hearing this: "Heh, if it weren't for my sick mother at home keeping me away, I would have gone out to work long ago. How many people would come to this shabby place? Sir, you're here for tourism, aren't you?"
"You don't have a large population here?"
After listening, Chu Chen continued to ask questions.
"Hehe, most of them have gone out to work. They can't survive at home."
Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Don't worry, everyone will be back within three months."
The next day, Chu Chen went directly to the local government office...
Three months later, countless businesses sprang up in the area. Gao Qiqiang stood on the stage and delivered a passionate speech, instantly making him a great philanthropist in the hearts of the local people.
Countless young people returned from other places, making the whole town lively and bustling.
Chu Chen passed through this place again and went into the fast food restaurant once more.
"Oh, isn't this the gentleman who came a few months ago? You were right, three months has been so busy, I've been overwhelmed."
Chu Chen ordered another fast food meal, and after finishing it, he lit a cigarette.
Then I looked at the bustling crowds on the street.
He thought to himself that those powerful families who held vast amounts of wealth in their hands must hate him for doing this.
But it's fine to do whatever you want.
However, just as he was about to get up and leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of his table.
Chu Chen frowned slightly upon seeing this, thinking to himself that it was truly a persistent ghost.
"Mr. Chu, I have only one question: why did you do this?"
"Boring, too much money!"
Chu Chen grinned at her, looking utterly shameless.
"Haha, it seems that Elder Qin was right. Mr. Chu is indeed feeling bored. But Elder Qin also said that this is the structure of the world, and you cannot change it."
Chu Chen sneered after hearing this.
Then he looked at Nangong Yue with a serious expression: "You think I don't understand? I know I can't change anything, but I just can't stand some things."
"Mr. Chu, what you're doing is causing problems in many large cities..."
Nangong Yue didn't continue speaking; she believed that Chu Chen could understand.
"so what?"
"Could we speak in private?"
Looking at the bustling crowd outside and the shirtless, sweaty people inside the fast food restaurant, Nangong Yue extended an invitation to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen looked around, smiled and nodded, then took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the shopkeeper before pulling Nangong Yue into the car.
The shopkeeper looked at the hundred-yuan bill in his hand: "Sir...you haven't given me change yet..."
"Sigh, young man, you're really in a hurry. But with that face and figure, if it were me, I'd be in a hurry too."
After saying that, he put the banknotes in one hand and picked up the spoon again.
In the car, Chu Chen stepped on the gas and drove off into the distance.
Then he turned to Nangong Yue and said, "Don't you also want to see such a scene, where everyone can live a peaceful and carefree life?"
After listening, Nangong Yue shook her head vigorously: "Mr. Chu, it seems you have misunderstood us. All of this is what we wanted, but there are many things we have no choice but to do!"
Chu Chen was somewhat surprised after hearing her words.
"What can you do? As the top echelons of China, what do you have to fear?"
Nangong Yue shook her head: "That was true before, but things are different now."
"Different?" Chu Chen asked, still somewhat puzzled.
“Mr. Chu, I believe you have noticed the changes in me. According to my actual age, I am already over sixty years old, but look at my appearance.”
After listening, Chu Chen immediately understood.
It's likely that the freezing event not only benefited Nangong Yue, but also brought great benefits to others.
"You mean there are other people who also absorbed the snow crystals, and then they also want to take this opportunity to control the whole world."
Nangong Yue nodded.
“That’s right. Moreover, according to our current intelligence, some people are already very dissatisfied with your actions. Elder Qin is also worried that they will take action against Mr. Chu. Therefore, he sent me to your side to see if I can help.”
Attacking yourself? Are you out of your mind?
Logically speaking, once someone reaches Nangong Yue's level, they probably wouldn't care about the trivial matters of ordinary people.
Using such a pretext to attack me? That doesn't make sense. Could it be that there are still unknown threats that haven't been resolved?
After hearing Nangong Yue's words, Chu Chen stopped the car and looked at Nangong Yue.
"Tell me, who is it that dares to be so bold?"
Nangong Yue adopted a very serious expression.
"As far as we know, there are three forces that have been exploited after the snow crystals were frozen in ice."
"They call themselves an ancient martial arts family, claiming that they had lived in seclusion before, and that they used their extraordinary abilities to save all of humanity after the apocalypse."
"So, after the world recovered, they are using this pretext to try to confront us."
"They are the Li family in Qionghai, the Fu family in the Shiwan Mountains, and the You family group in the southwestern border region."
"How strong are they?"
Chu Chen initially didn't care at all after hearing that someone was targeting him, but when he heard Nangong Yue's explanation sound convincing, he continued to ask questions.
However, just as the two stopped the car, ready to have a proper talk about this matter...
Directly in front of their vehicle, on a small hill, eight men and women, each holding an ancient weapon, were lying in ambush in the grass.
"Third Brother, why aren't those two scoundrels moving? Are they doing it in the car?"
