Chapter 873: Confusion

The first person he had met in this world, Qing Xiaoyue, was the most troubled. These past few days felt like a dream; she hadn't contributed anything, yet had received so many good things.

She stared blankly at the jade book, eyes wide open, without any trace of sleep.

"Knock, knock." The sound of knocking suddenly came to mind. Qing Xiaoyue's expression instantly turned strange, and she laughed inwardly: "Regretting it, aren't you? Regretting giving me something so precious?"

Thinking this, Qing Xiaoyue opened the door, but the scene before her was not what she had imagined. Outside the door stood a blue-eyed foreigner in a black suit, exuding an aura of murderous intent, as if he had just come from a battlefield.

"Who are you?" Qing Xiaoyue asked, very puzzled. But the next second, her mouth was directly covered. Qing Xiaoyue's eyes instantly widened. Just as she was about to fight back, she found his other hand clamping her throat.

"Behave, or I won't mind turning you into a corpse. It would be a pity for your face." He smiled, but the smile was chilling.

Qing Xiaoyue couldn't help trembling. She was very scared, looking with some fear at the three men who walked in. They were actually holding guns. Were they here to rob?

The other two foreign men searched the room, carrying a detector in their hands, as if looking for something.

"Ah, God." When one of them saw the jade book, his heart trembled. This was definitely the finest jade he had ever seen.

"Damn foreigners, this is mine." Qing Xiaoyue's eyes were misty with tears. She held back from crying, but she was very scared.

Another foreigner also came over, his eyes shining as he looked at the jade book, caressing it continuously, as if seeing a mountain of gold.

"Bastards, what are you doing?" The black-clad man holding Qing Xiaoyue's throat growled, very dissatisfied: "Don't forget why we're here."

The two smiled apologetically. They began searching the room. After finishing, one of them took a piece of paper and handed it to the leader.

When Qing Xiaoyue's eyes caught sight of the two characters on it, she immediately thought of Yang Tian. Were these people looking for him?

"These two characters?" The leader nodded, then his icy gaze fell on Qing Xiaoyue. "Where is the jade pendant? I'll give you three breaths. If you don't tell, you die."

He released his hand. Qing Xiaoyue wanted to scream, but reason told her that these people would really kill her.

"He took it," Qing Xiaoyue said after struggling for a moment, slowly.

"Who is he? What's his name?" The leader's voice was icy, devoid of emotion, but his eyes were very fervent. This was a top-level mission, and he hadn't expected to complete it so easily.

"I don't know him. I don't know his name." Qing Xiaoyue was very scared, but she knew that man forged of steel was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Damn it, you dare to play us!" One of them instantly flew into a rage, reaching for her neck again, snorting: "Do you want to go to hell?"

"Wait." The leader in black waved his hand. He took a photo from his pocket and said in a low voice: "Is it him?"

Seeing Yang Tian's photo, Qing Xiaoyue nodded. "It's him."

"Haha, I didn't expect we'd complete two missions this time. S City is truly wonderful." The black-clad man laughed heartily, then said coldly: "Where did he go? When did he leave?"

"He just left." Qing Xiaoyue confessed honestly. She knew these people wouldn't let her go. Yang Tian was her savior, a mysterious and terrifying person.

"Quick, go find him." The black-clad man waved his hand, ordering the man beside him.

"Leave it to me. I'll hack into the network here and find him through the cameras." He caressed the jade book in his hand with great affection, while starting up the network and inputting complex data.

"Hack into the network? Who are they?" Qing Xiaoyue was very scared. Stripped of her exterior, she was just a young woman. Her eyes were red. She hadn't expected so many things to happen.

"But what if he doesn't come?" Qing Xiaoyue was also worried that Yang Tian might not come. Otherwise, she would be dead for sure.

"He will come. He definitely will. He's not an ordinary person." Qing Xiaoyue's heart gradually became firm, and she said slowly to herself.

"If he dies, it will be because of me. Then I might as well die together." Qing Xiaoyue began to have wild thoughts. These people were so terrifying. They had found this place through something he had posted. In the end, it was still because of her.

In a bustling shopping mall, Yang Tian was strolling around with great interest. This new world brought him immense pleasure. He hadn't expected that mere mortals could research so much technology.

At that moment, his pupils slightly contracted. He looked up at a moving camera on the ceiling. He had a feeling of being detected.

"What's going on?" Yang Tian frowned.

"Damn it, could this yellow-haired kid have spotted me?" In the hotel room, the man who had just found Yang Tian hadn't even had time to get excited. When he noticed Yang Tian's gaze, he exclaimed.

"Eddie, go to hell. Do you think he's a god?" The black-clad man shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, maybe he really is a god." Qing Xiaoyue snorted inwardly. Not eating for five days, having terrifying wounds on his body—maybe he really was a god.

Eddie's expression turned awkward. He rubbed his nose and said, "What now? Should we just go over and grab him?"

"Eddie, you idiot. A yellow monkey like him wants me to go over and grab him? Just call him and tell him to come, or we'll kill this woman!" The black-clad man shouted in dissatisfaction.

Eddie rolled his eyes. He checked for a moment and found the phone number near Yang Tian, then directly dialed the phone.

A young woman answered the phone. When she heard that the caller wanted to speak to the young man she had been staring at, she didn't hesitate much and directly called Yang Tian over to answer.

"Looking for me?" Yang Tian was completely taken aback.

"Yeah, handsome, looking for you." The young woman was a bit infatuated; the aura Yang Tian exuded made her somewhat obsessed.

Yang Tian picked up the phone in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Hello, I'll give you ten minutes to get to Qing Xiaoyue's place, or you can wait to collect her corpse." Eddie said coldly.

"You've got the wrong person. I don't know Qing Xiaoyue." Yang Tian was puzzled. He thought to himself that this world was truly crazy, killing people at the drop of a hat.

"It's me. Hey, it's me. I'm Xiaoyue. Come quickly. They're going to kill me." Qing Xiaoyue said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Yang Tian's eyebrows immediately raised. This voice was somewhat familiar to him. The first person he met when he first arrived here was quite unforgettable.

"You only have ten minutes, or you can wait to collect her corpse." An arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone, and then the call ended.
