Chapter 037 Clues
It was dark at night, and there were open computer-related books everywhere in the bedroom of the villa. The computer was flashing, and a young figure was sitting at the computer desk, his fingertips tapping the keyboard.
"The computing speed is one hundred and five thousand times per second, and the cracking process is ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven percent..."
"...Ninety-nine, one hundred percent! Complete!"
Looking at the green tick on the screen, Nie Xi had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Enter the municipal monitoring system..."
"Calling Northwest District 10086 surveillance camera..."
"The time is March 20th from 6 to 7 in the morning..."
The surveillance video was pulled out, and Nie Xi stared at it intently, recording something from time to time.

"Didi—"
On the busy streets, vehicles come and go in a constant flow.
Colorful advertisements are playing on the big screens in the street.
On the spire of a towering building, a figure wearing a golden coat crouched quietly.
A micro-drone was released and hovered above the street.
"It should be right here! That car passes here at this time every day!"
Nie Xi pulled his collar to make his body warmer, and kept swiping his fingers on the tablet, repeatedly looking at the information he had found.

"Manager, there is a person on the roof!"
Someone reported it.
"On the roof?"
The manager stood up and stared at the monitor screen.
"It's incredible. How did he get up there?"
"Could it be Mr. Qin!"
"Impossible, Mr. Qin should be at school now."
Several people nearby were talking about it.
Suddenly, the man on the screen jumped up and disappeared from sight.
It caused everyone to exclaim.
The large signboard that was originally blocked was exposed.
"Shen-agricultural-medicine-industry."
The manager took a deep breath and settled back on the sofa.
"This world is getting more and more chaotic!"
Turning his eyes, a group of people came down from upstairs carrying large and small bags.
"What's happening here?"
someone asked.
"He's from the scientific research base. I heard he was recruited by Sky Shield! He's moving there now!"
"Shield of the Sky, that's great! When will it be our turn!"
"What a wonderful idea! People have developed memory chips, and you can only cook meals! Go and dream, there is everything in your dreams!"
The crowd was talking.
———————————————————————————————————
Among the skyscrapers in Tianlin City, a golden figure leaped between the rooftops. From time to time, he stopped briefly to observe the path of a car on the ground, and then quickly jumped to the next rooftop.
After a long time, the car got on the viaduct in the southeast, and then drove out of the city along the ring road.
Nie Xi followed closely, occasionally appearing in the crowd's view, causing a burst of consternation.
I don't know how long it took, but after rushing through a forest, I came to the shore of Jinghai Lake.
Nie Xi naturally recognized this place. Just when he was wondering, he suddenly discovered that the car was parked majestically in the open space by the lake, as if waiting for something.
There's no one in the car!
Nie Xi observed for a while and made a conclusion.
He looked around for a while and then cautiously walked towards the car.
I reached out and touched the doorknob, but there was no alarm sound.
Nie Xi breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door gently.
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed from behind.
The heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Oh it's you!"
The person behind him turned Nie Xi around.
Only then did he realize that the person who caught him was actually Duan Mupai, the commander of Sky Shield!
"Aren't you the newly recognized younger brother of that guy in Lu Cheng? What, you want to come to the base to see Director Chen? Why don't you go through the main entrance!"
Duanmu Pai asked with a smile.
"I...this...that..."
Nie Xi was immediately confused.
This car clearly appeared at the kidnapping scene that day, so how could it be related to Duanmu Pai?
Could it be!
Nie Xi couldn't imagine it.
"But Director Chen is not at the base now. You won't be able to see him if you go in. You'd better go home first!"
Duanmu Pai explained nonchalantly.
"Okay... okay! Uncle Duanmu, I'll leave first!"
Nie Xi nodded repeatedly.
He wiped his sweat and felt horrified as he walked.
"Haha? This kid is so weird today!"
Duanmu Pai shook his head in confusion.

When he returned to the villa, Nie Xi seemed a little lost.
"Little Master, I have your phone number!"
The machine steward came over.
"Um!"
Nie Xi nodded.
A virtual screen popped up, with the figure of Lu Cheng standing on the screen.
"Brother Lu!"
Nie Xi shouted.
"How's it going, little dragon? You didn't cause any trouble during my absence, did you?"
Lu Cheng smiled.
"Where have you been all day?"
Nie Xi asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just on a mission in Donghai City. By the way, tomorrow night is the celebration of the fourth anniversary of the establishment of Sky Shield. It will be held at Tianlin Convention and Exhibition Center. If you are free, you should come and participate!"
Lu Cheng said.
"Forget it, I don't want to go!"
Nie Xi was a little frustrated.
"What's wrong? You don't look happy. There will be many famous people attending tomorrow! This is a good time to increase your knowledge! It will help you in the future! That's it. I will set the route and you will take the bus tomorrow.
Just go. If your friends want to go, they can join us too!"
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he closed the screen.
"Well……"
Nie Xi sighed helplessly.
—————————————————————————————————————
In the evening of the next day, there was a lot of excitement in front of Tianlin Convention and Exhibition Center.
Various colorful luxury cars, dignified sedans, and even jeeps painted in military camouflage lined up in long queues and drove slowly.
Several Tianlin TV helicopters were hovering in the sky, and reporters were covering tonight's grand celebration from the air and from dozens of positions on the ground.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Mu Yiran shouted excitedly through the car window.
Everyone turned their eyes.
In the field of vision, models dressed as superheroes or cool agents were performing at the entrance of the convention and exhibition center. From time to time, there was a roar in the sky, and then steel armors with colorful tail flames flew across, causing people to cheer.
.
"Nie Xi, why do you look a little listless?"
Cheng Zhi asked carefully.
"I...nothing..."
Nie Xi shook his head.
"You seem to have something on your mind!"
Cheng Zhi affirmed.
"No, I don't want to hurt you!"
Nie Xi opened the car window, looked at the night on the other side, and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a familiar car appeared in his field of vision.
The same color, the same decoration, the same license plate number, isn't this Duanmu Pai's car?
Nie Xi immediately opened the car door and walked there.
Cheng Zhi immediately followed.
"Nie Xi?"
"Shh!"
Nie Xi motioned her to squat down, and the two of them hid behind an unoccupied luxury vehicle and watched carefully.
The door of the car opened, and what came out was a young man wearing a silver suit with gold-rimmed eyes.
"that is not……"
Cheng Zhi exclaimed.
Nie Xi immediately blocked her mouth.
That man was indeed the man with glasses who was giving orders on the roof that day.
But, why did he appear at the Sky Shield celebration?
"Hello!"
The voice suddenly appeared from behind, startling the two of them.
Nie Xi turned around and found an Iron Warrior hovering behind him.
The helmet was opened, it was Lu Cheng himself.
"What are you two doing here in secret?"
Lu Cheng asked.
The reporters around noticed what was going on here and cheered. Countless people came over and shouted Lucheng's nickname or name loudly.
It also surrounded the two people in the middle.
"Mr. Lu, what is the relationship between these two children and you?"
"Mr. Lu, have you already concealed your marriage from the media?"
"Mr. Lu, judging from your age, these two children seem to be a bit older!"
"Have you concealed your true age? If so, how do you stay young forever? Is there any secret recipe?"
Reporters surrounded him with all their talk.
The flash of the shutter almost blinded my eyes.
By the time everything was over, the man with glasses had disappeared without a trace.
—————————————————————————————————————
The celebration soon began. Listening to the leaders on the stage delivering speeches in turn, Nie Xi lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"Wow—"
Lu Cheng yawned loudly.
"so boring!"
Cao Shengyu shook his head.
"indeed so."
Lu Cheng nodded in agreement.
"Be serious and be careful not to be photographed and affect your career!"
Xiao Chu reminded.
"Brother Lu, did Uncle Duanmu come to the celebration today?"
Nie Xi suddenly asked.
"Oh? Why are you suddenly concerned about him? He has something to do with Commander Long and other major leaders today, so he can't come!"
Lu Cheng was a little surprised.
"Nothing? I just haven't seen you for a few days, so I wanted to ask."
Nie Xi said with a smile.
"Xiao Xi, are you hiding something from us?"
Xiao Chu asked.
"No...no..."
Nie Xi quickly defended.
"No! There must be! I am a master of expression analysis! Your expression tells me that you have something on your mind!"
Xiao Chu said word by word.
"..."
Nie Xi was about to make a decision.
At this time, a sound came from the stage.
"Now I welcome Tianlin Mayor Yuan Ming to give a speech!"
Nie Xi's eyes turned away subconsciously.
When he saw the people following the mayor, he was stunned.
"What's wrong? Xiaoxi?"
Xiao Chu and Lu Cheng looked at each other and looked towards the mayor.
"Brother Lu, Sister Xiao, the mayor is in danger!"
Chapter completed!
