Zhou Xuanying was stunned by the dark muzzle of the gun, "My family has always been providing domestic financial support for you, you can’t kill me. They promised me that as long as the funds continued, I could carry on with my life!"
"Naive," Zhao Yayu sneered, "Enough talk. If you don’t send it now, I will shoot you this instant, to avoid any complications."
Zhou Xuanying bowed his head and started to send messages, while Qing Chen watched him with a smiling gaze.
He had probably figured out the situation by now. Zhou Xuanying, too, was one of the Time Travelers controlled by the Deer Island Financial Group. Li Changqing had mentioned that there were spy agencies of the Deer Island Financial Group in City 18, so it made sense that they had a few Time Travelers under their control.
For a long time, the Zhou family had been providing financial support to the Time Travelers controlled by Deer Island, as even Time Travelers needed funding to operate in the Outer World.
From Deer Island’s side, they had probably agreed to let Zhou Xuanying continue living as a normal person and would not easily activate him.
The activation today might have been premeditated, or perhaps it was because Zhou Xuanying happened to be in Los Angeles City, and Deer Island, upon discovering they were being tracked, chose to use this unrelated vehicle to send the substitute to Los Angeles City without a sound.
After all, who would pay attention to a van full of students?
The answer was clear now, the black box in the trunk was certainly containing the substitute.
Zhao Yayu must have known that Qing Chen was a Time Traveler; that’s why he had requested internal support from the organization. Previously, the person didn’t want to get on the vehicle, but couldn’t withstand Tian Hailong and Xu Zimo’s insistence and was carried onboard.
The reason Qing Chen appeared here was thanks to Kunlun’s powerful intelligence systems, which were at least more formidable than Qing Chen had anticipated, having thoroughly uncovered even the sources of Deer Island’s funds.
Before Qing Chen came to take the bus, he hadn’t known what would happen, only that Zheng Yuandong had hinted at something, and then he came, encountering a big surprise.
It must be said, Qing Chen had underestimated Kunlun before. That Mr. Zheng seemed to have been hiding quite deep, deeply understanding the essence of hiding his skills.
At this very moment, Deer Island’s people were split into two groups heading to Los Angeles City; another team might have already started encountering Kunlun’s interceptions.
Xu Zimo glanced at the gun in Zhao Yayu’s hand, then unconsciously looked at Qing Chen.
To her surprise, she found Qing Chen smiling.
For some reason, Xu Zimo felt that even though Qing Chen seemed very weak, his smile was especially reassuring.
She thought about the hand that covered her mouth last night and the warmth of the palm, and suddenly calmed down, feeling there wasn’t much to fear.
"The boss said, let us take the next exit at the Lian-Huo rest area, where someone will meet us," Zhou Xuanying said, "You won’t do anything to my classmates, right?"
Zhao Yayu sneered, "Stay calm here, then keep an eye on your classmates in the back. Inform me of any suspicious movement at once. Remember, you’re not one of them anymore. If you let them go back and spill your beans, how would you continue your normal life? Don’t worry, we can stage a car accident scene once we deliver the goods, their deaths won’t be linked to you in any way."
Qing Chen laughed, "He’s lying to you. Actually, from the beginning, he never intended to let you live. You haven’t undergone professional training by the Deer Island Financial Group, so it’s easy for you to leak their information."
Zhao Yayu’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the words ’Deer Island’.
This Time Traveler named Qing Chen knew they were from Deer Island!
The situation had become serious.
Zhao Yayu glanced at the navigation and slammed on the brakes, trying to stop the vehicle by the roadside.
Qing Chen said with a smile, "Keep driving, just to the rest area. You have a handgun, and I have one too. If you dare slam the brakes, I swear I’ll shoot before my body shakes, and it’ll be up to fate whether you live or die."
In the midst of talking, Zhao Yayu heard the sound of a gun being cocked behind him.
This kid really had a gun!
It was a firearm specifically delivered by Xiao Ying, said to be standard issue for all Kunlun members.
Of course, after the operation, the equipment had to be returned.
Tonight, Qing Chen was indeed a member of Kunlun.
Zi Mo curiously asked, "Why not stop the car first and take control of him?"
Qing Chen smiled, "Didn’t you hear him? There are reinforcements at the service area. We must eradicate the evil. These people are not like ordinary criminals; they work for foreigners."
Zhao Yayu pressed down on the accelerator again and sneered, "I’m curious which side you’re really on, coming here alone, injured like this, to die."
Zhou Xuanying, Wang Jiale, Xia Xiaoran, and Tian Hailong were all stunned; they hadn’t expected things to suddenly turn out this way.
Previously, when Qing Chen killed someone in the hotel, they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, so they had no real concept of Qing Chen being a Time Traveler.
Later, when Qing Chen appeared severely injured and looked so miserable, he didn’t seem like someone particularly formidable.
Formidable enough to be injured like this?
However, as they were in a state of panic and confusion, Qing Chen calmly faced them with a gun and took control of the driver in front, making everyone realize how extraordinary their classmate was.
Qing Chen smiled and said to Zhou Xuanying, "Classmate, take the gun from his hand and give it to me."
"Okay... okay," Zhou Xuanying trembled, his brain already starting to slow down, doing whatever he was told.
Zhao Yayu secretly pondered that once the vehicle entered the service area, he would immediately bow his head, open the door, and flee. His accomplices outside would open fire indiscriminately, turning everyone in the car into sieves.
However, just before the minivan was about to enter the service area and started to decelerate, gunshots suddenly rang out inside the vehicle, and the bullets abruptly pierced through Zhao Yayu’s chest from behind.
Zhao Yayu had never expected that Qing Chen would shoot before he even stopped the car!
The crisp gunshots echoed through the night, and immediately four people in the service area took advantage of the darkness and surrounded the minivan.
However, Qing Chen was quicker; before they could get close, he had already stuck his hand out the window and pulled the trigger.
Raise the hand, aim, fire, all in one fluid motion without hesitation.

The sequence was so fast that it seemed Qing Chen had skipped the aiming process.
Absolute sense of the gun!
260 meters away, the bullet directly hit the criminal’s head, killing him instantly!
The remaining three criminals were stunned as they watched their comrade fall. The accurate range of a typical pistol is only 50 meters, with a lethal range of 250 meters.
This means, shooting is accurate within 50 meters, and one can still kill at 250 meters.
If an instructor were teaching pistol skills, they would generally tell students that the key to using a pistol lies in controlling the distance to the target. If you are too far, the best thing to do is close the distance to ensure your effective shooting volume.
But this point seemed not to apply to Qing Chen; his extreme shooting distance was his accurate shooting distance.
At that moment, Zi Mo in the car wasn’t looking at the criminals or paying attention to whether they were approaching. She was just quietly watching the young man beside her, wondering something.
