Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 689: 689
 

The Intuition of a Steely Straight Man

Space shattered and the Dimension Portal opened. Kant returned from the Other World and appeared in his bedroom. His face was ashen as he slammed into the wall!

The extraction ability instantly wrapped around and spread. The wall cracked. He directly rushed into Xiao Man’s bedroom from his own bedroom and shouted,” Xiao Man!”

Xiao Man was sitting in front of the table, holding a cell phone. Beside her was the signal generator Kant had given her. Tears streamed down the girl’s face. When she heard the noise, she looked up at her childhood sweetheart and cried.” Kant!”

” What’s wrong?” Kant heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Little Man was fine.

At the same time, a familiar scream rang out from the phone’s speaker. Save me! I’m aa

Kant snatched the phone away. The video call’s screen flipped and crashed. Amidst the noise, all he could see were chaotic figures, swaying long hair, and desperate fights. The phone fell to the ground, and the camera was aimed at the ceiling. The luxurious and elegant Swarow crystal chandelier emitted a mesmerizing glow.

Under this dreamy and beautiful radiance, evil was spreading.

Little Man covered his mouth and grabbed Kant’s arm, his body trembling.

The sounds of fighting and struggling finally turned into crude curses and dull blows. His body fell weakly to the ground with a thud. Immediately after, a few men quarreled and roared.

His accent was heavy, and it was not even English. Kant’s face was as calm as water. Horus had already extended a robotic arm and a probe from his sleeve, collecting all the images and sound data.

In the end, footsteps approached. Someone was approaching the phone that An Youyi had thrown.

Kant took a deep breath.

“Don’t hurt her.”

” Her father is very rich. He’s willing to pay for it. A lot of money. As long as his daughter is safe.”

This English passage was extremely simple. It sounded simple, and it must have sounded even simpler.

However, the men’s teasing laughter rang out from the receiver.

“Hello,Chink.”Someone seemed to be bending over and speaking into the receiver. He was standing far enough away that the camera did not capture his face.” Have a nice night.”

With a click, the screen went black for a moment, and the sound of cracking rang out one after another. Then, the signal was cut off.

Xiao Man covered her mouth and finally cried out loud.

Kant pulled the girl’s trembling body into his arms. He patted her back gently.” It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m here.” Don’t be afraid.”

Xiao Man gritted her teeth and sobbed a few times. Then, she wiped her tears away and said,” She was kidnapped. Someone broke into the homestay they booked. There was a total of…”

When she said this, she couldn’t help but sob and almost cried again.

Kant held her hand gently.” You can adjust your emotions first.”

“No thanks.” Xiao Man shook his head vigorously.” The earlier I said it, the higher the chance of her being saved…”

Kant held her hand.” It’s okay. Be good. Be obedient.”

He stretched out his hand and feigned a gesture. The Realm Gate opened. A bottle of Sprite fell into his palm. Kant opened it and handed it to Little Man.” Drink something first. Calm down.”

As he spoke, he pressed on his phone.

The call was quickly picked up.” Hello, Comrade Kang De. This is Qin Mengjin. What’s the matter?”

” An Youyi has been kidnapped,” Kant said calmly.” She’s in London.”

There was a moment of silence on the other side. Then, he quickly said,” Understood. Report it immediately. We will use diplomatic channels to pressure and negotiate. We will urge the British government to take immediate action.”

The sound of the door being pushed open and the sound of a summoning bell rang from the phone. Qin Mengjin, who lived in the fishing island, quickly walked through the corridor, put on her coat, and pressed the elevator button.” Do you know where she lives?”

Xiao Man, who was sipping his drink, heard the voice from the speaker. He looked up and said,” Xiao An sent me the location. He also showed it off to me before. He said it was a mansion in Hyde Park…”

Qin Mengjin heard Xiao Man’s voice clearly. The other party was stunned for a moment.” Hyde Park?” That’s the core area of London, one of the safest areas. Why would there be a break-in?”

“Are you asking me?” Kant asked coldly.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Kant realized the problem with his tone.

He still hadn’t recovered from the role he had played in the other world. In addition to the shock and anger from Xiao Man’s message, the frustration from An Youyi’s kidnapping, the fear and tears on Xiao Man’s face, and the interruption of the Broken Islands ‘defense plan, all of these made his suppressed anger soar.

“.. I’m sorry.” He said,” I’m not targeting you.”

“It’s alright.”

Qin Mengjin’s voice softened a little.” I don’t mean anything else. I’m just saying that this matter seems very abnormal. Is Miss Wang Xiaoman with you?” Is it convenient to talk?”

Kant glanced at the tear-stained Little Man, who had already put down her drink.” Sure.”

“Hello, Miss Wang.”

Qin Mengjin, who had already arrived on the 18th floor, made a few hand gestures to the waiters and secret service personnel on duty. The waiters quickly rushed into the staff passage and quickly pulled out a computer on the dining car. The waiters who could serve in the presidential building had been carefully selected and secretly trained.

” Ms. Wang,” Ms. Qin turned on her computer and quickly logged into her account.” It looks like you contacted Miss An Youyi when she was kidnapped. Is that right?”

“Yes.” Xiao Man nodded.

“You’re frightened.” Qin Mengjin spoke very quickly.” Although I don’t want you to remember bad memories, I have to ask you a few questions that might make you feel uncomfortable. This will help us rescue Ms. An Youyi successfully. We need your cooperation.”

“I understand.” Xiao Man’s nasal voice was still a little heavy.” Go ahead.”

First of all, did An Youyi go to London alone?”

“Yes, but her best friend will pick her up in London.”

“Did you receive it?”

“Yes.”

” The hotel they’re staying at is near Hyde Park?”

“It’s not a hotel, it’s a homestay.”

“Why a homestay?” Qin Mengjin typed as she asked,” As far as I know, An Youyi’s family background is very good. Her first choice should be the Intercontinental Hotel, which has an agreement with her father’s company.”

Xiao Man didn’t know why the other party was asking this, but she still answered,” An said that her best friend helped her book all her itineraries in London. This homestay is a mansion near Hyde Park. It was a surprise prepared by her best friend. She seemed very satisfied when she arrived and even showed it off to me.”

“Do you know her best friend?” Qin Mengjin asked. What’s your name?”

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment.” I don’t know,” he said softly.” I only know that An calls her Lulu.” I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize for this.” As Qin Mengjin spoke, she gestured to her subordinate who had run over to wait for orders. The other party understood and immediately took a few steps back to dial the phone to speak.

The signal communication was connected. The team that was specially assigned to work with Kant entered work mode within three minutes. The official who put down his earpiece shouted,” Human relations team! He immediately searched through An Youyi’s classmates, parents, and social circles to find all the students who had studied in London! Make sure your name has the word ‘Lu’in it first-of course, there might not be any!”

He paused for a moment and continued,” After locking onto the target, continue to investigate. Contact her parents, teachers, and classmates. Investigate her personality. Find out all the spending situations and spending records that can be found. Count the proportion of spending, whether she has bad habits, whether she has chaotic relationships…”

” Investigate An Youyi’s father’s overseas assets and business. If necessary, ask him directly if he has crossed the line or if he has engaged in fierce competition with foreign companies!”

” Did Ms. An Youyi say if she met any strangers on the plane, at the airport, on the road, or on the Internet?” Qin Mengjin asked.

Xiao Man’s face turned pale as he whispered,”I didn’t ask…” Ah, right!”

She seemed to have remembered something. “She told me later that there were no first class cabins left, but she was given a free upgrade. Moreover, the person sitting next to her was a handsome man. She said that he was very polite, very handsome, and knew everything. It made her feel very good…”

“Do you have a photo?”

“Yes, they had a good chat. An took a photo with him and sent it to me.”

“Please send it to me.”

Little Man glanced at Kant, who nodded.

“In addition, when Ms. An Youyi was on a video call with you, she suddenly discovered that a criminal had barged in and kidnapped her…Is that so?”

The panic on Xiaoman’s face had yet to dissipate. She said in a low voice,” No, she called me after she found out. I was already asleep at that time. I was woken up by the sound of a WeChat call. I picked up…” She was crying after she answered the call, saying that someone had broken in and was trying to catch Lulu…She closed the door and said that those people were looking for her. She said that she was very afraid…Then…”

At this point, Little Man’s body began to tremble.

Kant held her in his arms and remained silent.

One could imagine how much fear the two girls must have felt before he returned.

An Youyi was in a foreign land, and her comfortable and pleasant journey was interrupted by the most terrifying accident. She hid in a room in a luxurious residence, listening to the screams, roars, and heavy footsteps outside. She was at her wit’s end, crying to her best friend for help. Meanwhile, Little Man, who was far away on the other side of the world, could do nothing but look at the crying and desperate face on the screen and feel the fear An Youyi felt. She was helpless and afraid…

On the other end of the phone, Qin Mengjin was silent. She seemed to be waiting for Xiao Man to calm down. Perhaps she was also hesitating whether she should continue questioning this lady who was clearly traumatized. She was worried about Kant’s emotions. It was obvious that forcing Wang Xiaoman to recall the past would make Kant extremely unhappy.

However, after a short while, Xiao Man’s voice sounded.

“Miss Qin.” She said,” Do you have anything else to ask?”

” I want to know why Ms. An Youyi called you for help after she realized that she was in danger,” Qin Mengjin said after a moment of hesitation.

” She’s not asking me for help.” Little Man glanced at Kant and said softly,” She’s asking Kant to save her.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a meaningful “Oh” sounded.

Kant, on the other hand, furrowed his brows in confusion.

“Did Miss An Youyi describe the physical characteristics of the kidnappers to you?” Qin Mengjin asked. Or did you see it in the video?”

Little Man looked at Kant timidly, and Kant blocked the microphone.

“I didn’t see him.” The girl said softly,” I was looking for this button at that time…They were in a panic. When I looked at my phone after I found them, they had already rushed in…”

Kang De caressed her face to indicate that she was fine. He then said to Qin Mengjin,” It was a chaotic situation at that time. Little Man didn’t see it clearly. We can’t expect an ordinary girl to have such mental fortitude.” But after I came back, I recorded the last video and their conversation, not in English.”

Qin Mengjin was obviously excited.” That’s an important clue. It can’t be better…” Please send it to me!”

“Alright.”

After the interrogation was over, Qin Mengjin carefully comforted Xiao Man and promised that the country’s power was interfering. She would use diplomatic means to pressure and urge the relevant departments of the British side to speed up the investigation.

She comforted him.” Hyde Park is a popular residential area for wealthy people in the UK and even the world. It’s the most prestigious core area in London. With a vicious case like a home invasion and kidnapping, and with the secret and strong pressure from the state, the police will definitely take it seriously.”

Xiao Man said softly,”Yes…” Sorry to trouble you.”

Kang De glanced at Xiao Man. He thought for a moment and said,” Miss Qin, let’s add another bargaining chip. Please tell the British side that An Youyi is my good friend. If they can’t find her, I’ll find her myself.”

Qin Mengjin replied,” I don’t recommend doing that, Comrade Kant. Just like I said, the London police will definitely pay attention to a vicious case in the core area where the upper class gathers. They will also do their best to supervise the emergency negotiations through secret channels at the diplomatic level. Under such circumstances, there’s no need to carry your brand again. It’s better not to expose this special relationship.”

Kant was silent for a while.” Then help me arrange a flight. I want to go to London,” he said.

“I can understand your feelings, but putting pressure on the officials is the most appropriate, fastest, and most efficient way to solve the problem. You…” Qin Mengjin said softly.

“Miss Qin.” ” It’s like this,” Kant said calmly.” If I have to sum up my life experiences to date as a lesson, it would be to not believe in anything until I have absolute control over everything.”

” The Atlantic Ocean isn’t covered,” Kant added.” Don’t make me swim there myself.”

“.. Alright, I understand.”

After hanging up, Little Man hugged Kant tightly and said nothing.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll save her.” Kant gently hugged the body that was engulfed by fear.” I’m here. You don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

“Am I useless?” Xiao Man whimpered. It was only after that that I remembered that I should have asked her to tell me more about the physical characteristics of those kidnappers. I was only crying at that time…”

“No, you’ve already done very well.” Kant caressed her hair.” Don’t blame yourself. I’ll make up for your mistakes. It’s not your fault.”

” It’s not your fault,” Xiao Man said softly as she hugged his waist and leaned against his chest.

Kant’s chin was pressed against Little Man’s head. He smiled when he heard that.

He knew what Xiao Man was talking about.

Earlier, An Youyi had invited the two of them. If they had agreed to go, the kidnapping wouldn’t have happened. However, Little Man hadn’t mentioned this. It wasn’t Kant’s fault.

“Save her as much as you can, okay?” Xiao Man whispered,” But you have to make sure that you don’t get hurt…”

“You’re thinking too much.” Kant laughed.” I’m more afraid of death than you think.”

Xiao Man chuckled softly, then he was stunned.” I envy you even more now. It would be great if I had superpowers too. I didn’t think much of it in the past. I thought that if you had superpowers, then I had superpowers. But it’s still different. When something like this happened, you could calmly arrange everything, while I would only cry…”

“This has nothing to do with superpowers.” Kant said softly,” I cried at first too.”

“Ah, what’s wrong?”

” I’ll tell you next time,” Kant said with a smile.

He carried Little Man by the waist and placed her on the bed.” It’s time to sleep. You have to rest well…” Don’t be disobedient. It won’t be that fast. Do you want to wait until you save her?”

“It’s not impossible.”

“Come on, listen to me.” Kant said softly,” Go to sleep. I’ll stay here with you. Perhaps An Youyi will be rescued when you wake up.”

He covered Little Man with a blanket. The girl’s eyes were still red and swollen. She stared at Kant for a long time before she said softly,” What good news do you have? You have to wake me up.”

“Alright.”

“Before you go to England, you have to come and see me.”

“Don’t worry.”

“Pinky swear.”

“Alright, alright, alright.”

They hooked their fingers together, exerted some force, and then smiled at each other.

Xiao Man was indeed very tired. She had been sleeping earlier, and she had been so frightened that she was exhausted and anxious. Now that Kant had appeared, he was like a hero who had swept away all her worries and fears. Even though An was still in a foreign land, he did not seem as worried and afraid anymore.

She felt her eyelids droop.

“I also want to have superpowers…”

The girl murmured and fell asleep.

Kant sat by the bed and looked at Little Man’s sleeping face. He waited for a while before he got up gently.

In her dreams, the young girl dreamed of a resplendent starry sky.

At the State Guesthouse.

“I still want you to reconsider.” Qin Mengjin sighed.

“There’s no need to consider it.” Kant said,” Little Man has never asked me for anything.”

“What’s the situation now?” he asked directly.

” We have already completed preliminary negotiations with the British side. The authorities are sending police to the homestay they booked.” When Qin Mengjin saw Kant appear, she explained the progress of the battle.

Kant frowned.” Wait a minute. Are you in the middle of it?” An Youyi didn’t call the police?”

Sister Qin looked at Kant with a meaningful gaze.” Yes, the embassy didn’t receive any calls. Her parents and family didn’t receive any messages either.” In other words, you’re the first person An Youyi thinks of when she’s in danger.”

” That’s not right!” Kant frowned.” That’s not right!”

[P.S. 1: This chapter is written very slowly because I changed my mind. I gave up on the part where An Youyi was attacked at the homestay after leaving the airport. It’s a few thousand words…] The main thing was that it felt a little slow, and he was considering changing the way of writing, the kind where the main point of view relied on the protagonist’s layers of development…Forget it, everyone will just watch.

P.S. 2: Also, after seeing the doctor today, the doctor suggested that I go out and exercise to improve my mood. I understand now. The doctor suggested that I go out for a walk every morning and evening to watch the female high school students go to and from school. Got it. I’ll start tomorrow.
