Chapter 86: News About His Parents
A physical examination?
Emphasis on the word "a"!
So a single examination took an entire day of this lord's time?
Xiao Wen had never imagined that when he went in, it was still daylight, and when he came out, it was already dark.
An entire day had been consumed by those researchers.
His mentality was exploding!
Xiao Wen walked out of the examination room and immediately spotted Jiang Liu waiting outside.
Seeing how energetic and vigorous he looked, she couldn't help clicking her tongue in admiration.
"Not bad, kid. Your physical condition is pretty impressive! You actually endured all that and still look completely fine."
"Heh... This young master is starting to regret cooperating with you people."
"When are you giving me the information about my parents?"
Xiao Wen looked at Jiang Liu and asked.
That was what he cared about most.
"After you sign the guarantee letter and cooperation declaration," Jiang Liu answered.
"Fine."
Xiao Wen nodded.
Under Jiang Liu's guidance, he entered a small room, signed the documents, and handed them back to her.
Only after everything was completed did Jiang Liu pass him a USB drive.
"The information you wanted is somewhat special. Everything is inside. Take it home and look through it slowly."
"Oh, and one more reminder. Your status is special now, and you possess considerable power."
"Until further instructions come down from above, you are not allowed to leave the city. Even if you need to leave, you must file a report in advance."
Xiao Wen nodded, accepted the USB drive, and turned to leave.
As for meeting Jiang Liu's team leader, which had been mentioned before—
Neither of them brought it up.
It was as though both had forgotten the matter entirely.
Watching Xiao Wen's departing figure, a playful smile appeared on Jiang Liu's face.
That guy was quite interesting.
She turned around, entered the elevator, and rode it to the top-floor office.
Inside sat a man behind a desk.
This man was none other than Jiang Liu's team leader, Lu Cheng'an.
Hearing the door open, Lu Cheng'an raised his head. His gaze settled on Jiang Liu standing at the entrance, his expression calm.
"You're back. How did it go?"
"Xiao Wen completed the examination and has already left. The USB drive meant for him has also been delivered."
After saying this, she appeared somewhat hesitant. Following a moment of silence, she finally spoke.
"Leader, are we really just letting him leave like that? Shouldn't you have met him personally?"
Lu Cheng'an shook his head.
"It's not time yet. Let's wait until his physical examination report comes out."
"From Old Zhang's tone, he seems to have a pretty favorable impression of that kid."
"But we all know what kind of person Old Zhang is. He's a battle maniac. If he thinks the kid is good, it's probably because he thinks the kid's combat ability is impressive."
"We're different from Old Zhang's people. Xiao Jiang, you come from an ancient martial arts family. What do you think of him?"
Hearing that, Jiang Liu's expression gradually became serious.
After pondering for a while, she replied:
"He's unusual."
"He gives me a very dangerous feeling. If I faced him alone, I wouldn't be able to beat him."
"Oh?"
Lu Cheng'an raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The young woman before him was a once-in-several-decades genius of the Jiang Family, praised as the most promising successor capable of reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
Even Jiang Liu found him dangerous?
It seemed that kid really was interesting.
"Let's wait for the report first. The data we have is still too limited."
After a brief pause, Lu Cheng'an waved his hand, dismissing Jiang Liu.
...
As for what was happening inside the Public Security Department, Xiao Wen couldn't care less.
At this moment, holding the old USB drive, his heart was filled with urgency.
He immediately hailed a taxi back to the villa, found a computer, and plugged in the USB drive.
Inside was a single folder.
Inside that folder was a video.
The video had been recorded in the Mount Tai Scenic Area of Jiuzhou.
Several scattered surveillance cameras existed throughout the tourist area, and the information regarding Xiao Wen's parents had been discovered through those recordings.
At the scenic area near the foot of the mountain, their figures could clearly be seen.
During the climb up the mountainside, their figures could still be seen.
However, once the footage reached the summit, the two seemed to vanish into thin air.
At the end of the video were also witness statements collected from tourists.
After discovering these clues, personnel from the Public Security Department had located tourists who had been taking photographs near Xiao Wen's parents at the time and questioned them about the couple.
Strangely enough, none of the tourists remembered ever seeing Xiao Wen's parents.
Every answer was remarkably consistent.
"I didn't notice."
After a long while, Xiao Wen withdrew his gaze, shut down the computer, and removed the USB drive.
A clue that barely counted as a clue.
He had to admit, the people in the Public Security Department were really good at exploiting loopholes.
Still, at least it was some kind of information.
But if they had these records all along, why had nobody from the Public Security Department told him over the years?
Or did this matter involve something even deeper?
Mount Tai?
If he remembered correctly, a major battle had broken out there later in his previous life.
Looks like he'll have to make a trip to Mount Tai someday.
But that could wait until later.
Until the Public Security Department's data report was completed and until the authorities officially determined how to classify people like them, it was best for him to remain quietly in the city.
Putting away the USB drive, Xiao Wen turned and entered his room.
Looking at the game pod already filled with nutrient solution, he directly climbed inside.
Game startup.
Login!
When Xiao Wen logged in, the army was still marching.
However, they were already quite close to Gongsun Zan's camp. Looking into the distance, he could see rows of orderly military tents.
Not long afterward, scouts began appearing nearby.
After discovering Xiao Wen's group, the scouts immediately departed.
When they returned, they brought an army with them.
It was Gongsun Zan's force.
However, the man leading it was not Gongsun Zan himself.
When Xiao Wen cast an inspection skill, information about the man immediately appeared.
General: Yan Gang
Gender: Male
Rank: Famous Historical Figure (Third Tier)
Level: 38
Talent Attributes: 580/30
Faction: Deputy General under Gongsun Zan
Personality: Rough, Bold, Brave
Yan Gang?
So it was him.
Xiao Wen had heard of this man in his previous life.
It was said that Gongsun Zan had three outstanding talents under his command.
The most famous was naturally Zhao Zilong. However, Zhao Zilong was currently only a member of the White Horse Volunteers, and neither his attributes nor his potential had yet been fully discovered.
After him came Tian Yu and Yan Gang.
One excelled in strategy, while the other excelled in warfare.
Together, they were considered Gongsun Zan's right and left hands.
Over the years, those two had played a tremendous role in helping Gongsun Zan resist the Wuhuan in the north.
"I am Yan Gang, deputy general of the camp. Might you be Lord Half-Journey Through the Mortal World?"
Yan Gang opened his mouth and asked.
"Indeed, that is this official."
Xiao Wen nodded.
"My lord, please! The General has already prepared a banquet in the camp to welcome your arrival!"
