Chapter 367 Clear 0!

After a moment, she said, "I might know part of it."

Zhang Yan looked at the photo.

Why didn't he tell anyone?

"Maybe nobody will believe it."

"Perhaps they're afraid of implicating others."

Nie Qingcheng said, "Perhaps it's both."

Zhang Yan continued flipping through the pages.

There was also a file on the orphanage at the end of the report.

Shortly after Zhang Huaichuan's death, Lin Shuning took her child on a trip to northern China.

They were then involved in a car accident on their way back.

She died on the spot.

The baby was rescued.

Later, due to missing records and confusion during the transfer, he was sent to the welfare system.

Zhang Yan was always registered as an ordinary abandoned child.

It wasn't until Nie Qingcheng used various files that these broken lines were reconnected.

Zhang Yan finished reading the last page.

Reassemble all the files.

Nie Qingcheng asked, "Do you want to go see them?"

Zhang Yan said, "Go."

"When?"

"Wait until I get back from Hokkaido."

Nie Qingcheng looked at him.

"You can go see them first."

Zhang Yan shook his head.

"I want to live like this first, and then go see them."

Nie Qingcheng did not ask what that sentence meant.

She simply nodded.

"it is good."

Zhang Yan took the photos out separately.

I watched for a while.

Then put it back in the envelope.

Nie Qingcheng asked, "Are you blaming me?"

Zhang Yan looked at her.

"What's it to you?"

"I found it, but I'm only giving it to you now."

Zhang Yan said, "You gave me just the right amount."

"The truth?"

"The truth."

Nie Qingcheng raised her hand and touched his face.

"If you hadn't come back last night, I would have burned this letter."

Zhang Yan was taken aback for a moment.

Nie Qingcheng looked at him.

"I won't let you leave with regrets, nor will I let you be distracted at the last moment."

Zhang Yan remained silent for a few seconds.

"It looks a lot like you."

Are you scared?

"I'm not afraid."

Nie Qingcheng said, "Zhang Yan, that's just the kind of person I am."

"I know."

I'm mean to other people.

"And what about me?"

Nie Qingcheng looked at him.

"I'm probably not much better to you either."

Zhang Yan smiled.

"Good."

Nie Qingcheng said coldly, "Don't try to be perfunctory."

"no."

"You'd better not have it."

Zhang Yan put the envelope into his pocket.

Then he got up.

Nie Qingcheng asked, "Where to?"

"Cook."

"Just finished eating."

It's noon.

"Aren't you going to rest?"

"Cooking is also a form of rest."

Nie Qingcheng stared at him for a few seconds.

"I'll stay with you."

The two went into the kitchen.

Zhang Yan opened the refrigerator.

It was indeed mostly empty inside.

Nie Qingcheng leaned against the bar.

"When I said the fridge was empty last night, I wasn't being cute."

Zhang Yan said, "I believe it."

"You believed it too late."

"Buy it in advance next time."

Nie Qingcheng watched him wash the vegetables.

The kitchen was quiet.

The sounds of spatulas, water, and knives cutting on the cutting board.

After a while, Nie Qingcheng suddenly spoke.

When are you going to Hokkaido?

Zhang Yan said, "Next week, if you've finished your schedule."

"I'll finish arranging it tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"Qingcheng International will not collapse even if I leave."

"You didn't say that before."

Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "I have never sealed the Void before."

Zhang Yan nodded.

That makes sense.

Nie Qingcheng raised her left hand and looked at the ring on her ring finger.

"besides."

"Um?"

"Would you like to get a different version of the ring too?"

Zhang Yan turned to look at her.

Why change it?

"The one engraved now is 'Yan'."

"You don't like it?"

She looked at the ring.

A moment of silence.

"I'm not changing it."

"Um."

"I like this."

Zhang Yan did not turn around.

"Um."

Nie Qingcheng watched his retreating figure.

"Zhang Yan".

"Um."

"Don't go to faraway places alone again."

"As much as possible."

"Not as much as possible."

Zhang Yan stopped what he was doing.

"it is good."

Nie Qingcheng was finally satisfied.

After the meal was prepared, the two sat down at the dining table.

Zhang Yan placed the photo aside.

I didn't look at it again.

Nie Qingcheng served him food.

"Have a meal."

"Um."

"Take a nap this afternoon."

"Um."

"No going to the lab at night."

Zhang Yan looked up.

"Mecha—"

Nie Qingcheng interrupted.

"It will be fixed tomorrow."

Zhang Yan looked at her.

"it is good."

Nie Qingcheng then lowered her head and ate.

My phone vibrated.

She glanced at it, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Zhang Yan asked, "What's wrong?"

Nie Qingcheng said, "TFC's last overseas account has been activated."

"escape?"

"no."

She handed the phone to Zhang Yan.

"Someone is destroying their records."

Zhang Yan glanced at it.

The movements were very professional.

They are not remnants of the Zefeng Consortium.

It's more like another organization is erasing the traces.

Nie Qingcheng's voice turned cold.

"The seal is broken."

Zhang Yan put down his chopsticks.

"But some people aren't done yet."

The third day after the seal was completed.

Jinghai has returned to a state of apparent calm.

The official explanation given is that there were geological anomalies in the suburbs, military exercises, and temporary traffic control.

Most people only know that the cell phone signal was briefly unstable that night, and the windows shook a few times.

No one knew that a crack had once appeared above their heads.

No one knows that if that crack hadn't been closed, Jinghai wouldn't have had a second morning.

Zhang Yan sat in the command center on the third basement floor of Tianji Security.

Before me is a global anomaly monitoring interface.

All red dots have been cleared.

Qin Xiao stood to the side, holding a thick report in his hand.

He's been unusually quiet these past few days.

Even his speech is more steady than before.

"Brother Yan, global monitoring has been cleared to zero."

"confirm?"

"I checked it three times."

Qin Xiao placed the report on the table.

"The military has completely eliminated pollution hotspots in six cities across the country."

"Where are they alive?"

"Those who could be arrested were arrested, and those who couldn't be arrested weren't spared either."

Zhang Yan nodded.

Qin Xiao continued, "Over at TFC, my sister-in-law acted faster than us."

Nie Qingcheng, who was sitting to the side, looked up.

"What does 'starting' mean?"

Qin Xiao immediately changed his tune.

"Business compliance handling".

Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "Continue."

Qin Xiao coughed.

"TFC's domestic assets have been frozen, and its main personnel have been detained by local police on three charges: environmental pollution, illegal storage of hazardous materials, and cross-border money laundering."

"What about overseas assets?"

Nie Qingcheng spoke.

"We've removed everything that could be removed."

Qin Xiao looked at her.

"Sister-in-law, you make it sound so easy."

Nie Qingcheng said, "It wasn't difficult to begin with."

Qin Xiao whispered, "Only you think it's not difficult."

Zhang Yan asked, "Anchor point of consciousness?"

Qin Xiao immediately said, "The two recovered ones, plus the three you sealed away before, will now all be transferred to the military's highest-level isolation warehouse."

Zhang Yan frowned.

"Don't study it."

Qin Xiao nodded.

"Old Qin knows. He said he'll only monitor the outer stability and won't touch the internal structure."

"People from Guantian Pavilion are also keeping an eye on things."

"Um."

Qin Xiao turned to the next page.

"Takehiko Ito's body is recovering from the damage after purification, and there is no residual Void energy for the time being."

"What did he say?"

"I was sober twice."

"content?"

"Thank you for passing on this message to us for the first time."

"And the second time?"

Qin Xiao's expression was somewhat complicated.

He said that if the Japanese military continues to touch those things, something else will happen.
