Chapter 64: Trouble Arrives Quickly (1)

Chapter 64 – Trouble Arrives Quickly (1)

The next day, Tuesday:

Like usual, Chen Yu sent his three little sisters off to school while having school bags hung all over his body.

“Third Eldest, have fun, but make sure to be careful.”

“I know. Big Brother, bye-bye.”

“Second Eldest, make sure to pay attention to class and study properly. If someone bullies you, make sure to tell me.”

“I know! Bye-bye, Big Brother.”

“Eldest, no dating, or I’ll break your leg.”

“Hmph!”

After receiving her bag, Chen Yike immediately turned around and tried to leave. However, Chen Yu had pulled her back before she could run away.

“Eldest, I won’t toy with you anymore. I bought you a present.”

Saying so, Chen Yu opened his bag and quickly dug through its contents.

“I don’t need it! Don’t even think about tricking me anymore! Those exercise books are already too many for me to finish!” Chen Yike said, her complexion instantly changing upon hearing Chen Yu’s words. She then started running into her middle school with large steps.

Chen Yu: “…”

Slowly taking out an exquisitely packaged crystal necklace, Chen Yu could not help but sigh as he muttered, “Hah… What a hapless child…”

Turning away from Chen Yike’s middle school, Chen Yu started making his way toward Sixth High with a grim expression.

Someone was stalking him.

This was a warning that the anti-gravity camera gave him.

Moreover, this person had started stalking after him as soon as he left his house.

It was indeed true that Chen Yu was usually very careless in his actions. However, he always had a slight delusion of being persecuted, so he placed doubt on all changes that occurred in his surroundings. This sense of insecurity might be a result of his family having lived in hardship for long periods.

Particularly, after finding out that the government was secretly searching for him, his sense of insecurity had been drastically magnified. Now, he was always in a sensitive state.

Hence, after obtaining the invisible, anti-gravity camera, Chen Yu did not hesitate to use it, setting it to continually hover around him and record his surrounding activities.

Due to this reason, he had discovered the person stalking after him.

The stalker in question was a plain-looking man. The man had a friendly face and steady steps. The man also maintained his pace while following Chen Yu, making sure that the distance between them was not too small or wide. The man’s gaze was also never concentrated on Chen Yu’s body.

If not for the camera’s warning function, Chen Yu wouldn’t have been able to tell apart this secret agent from ordinary pedestrians even if the man in question was walking right under his nose.

Sure enough, they found me…

I’ve already hidden my trail perfectly, so how did I get discovered? This doesn’t make sense…

After restlessly walking past two traffic lights, Chen Yu arrived at Sixth High’s entrance. And when he lifted his head, his entire body involuntarily shuddered.

There were actually two black police vehicles parked nearby the school’s entrance!

“…”

Wiping off the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead, Chen Yu hurriedly walked into the school compound, afraid to give the police vehicles even an extra glance.

After entering Class 2-2 and sitting down on his seat, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and quickly typed out a message.

[Chen Yu: “I feel myself getting cold.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Wear long johns.”]

[Chen Yu: “There are long johns even in the future?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “No, but I know your era has them.”]

[Chen Yu: “Enough with this nonsense, I’m being tailed! There are police cars outside the school! I think they’re here to catch me!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, please stop worrying.”]

[Chen Yu: “How can I not be worried?! They even brought police vehicles!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Those police vehicles are nothing. Approximately 37 minutes ago, a tank was even marked in the suburbs.”]

[Chen Yu: “…I’m even more worried now.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “It would be great if you still had the 404 Heat Ray Gun. We could take the initiative to launch an attack.”]

[Chen Yu: “Big Sis, please shut your mouth. I’m badly panicking right now. Can that new product help conceal my identity? Can you send it to me ahead of time?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Logically, that would not be permitted.”]

[Chen Yu: “There’s definitely a ‘but,’ right? Let’s not talk logic right now!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The reason why our company adheres to the rule of sending products exactly on time is to avoid letting our partners advertise the product ahead of time. This would adversely affect the evaluation others have toward our company. If you can guarantee that, once you receive the new product, not too many people will find out about the product’s existence, then we can have it delivered to you ahead of time.”]

[Chen Yu: “Definitely!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “If too many people find out about this upcoming product before 9 A.M. this coming Sunday, you will be deemed to have failed your evaluation for this quarter. Are you certain?”]

[Chen Yu: “Certain!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very well. I will have the product delivered to you now.”]

[Chen Yu: “A question. When you say many people, how many are we talking about?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “No more than 100 people.”]

[Chen Yu: “That won’t be a problem, then.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very well. The product has been delivered to your room already. Please take note to receive it.”]

Storing away his phone, Chen Yu swept a glance at the noisy classroom. Seeing as the class had yet to start, he promptly snuck out through the backdoor.

…

At the same time, inside the Famous Imperial Kitchen…

The middle-aged man leading the investigation on Chen Yu was currently questioning the restaurant’s female manager together with three of his colleagues and two police officers.

“That student jumped over a distance of 3.5 meters? Are you sure?”

“Yes! I’m very sure! I remember it very clearly! We even awarded 3,000 yuan to him back then!” Shrugging, the female manager said, “The world record for long jump is 3.4 meters. We never thought that someone would actually manage to jump across that distance.”

“Do you have surveillance records?”

“We have surveillance over the entrance, the cash register, the main hallway, and the second-floor dining hall. The only place we don’t have surveillance over is where the long jump activity is being held. As that place is too secluded, the cameras can’t get a view of it at all. Otherwise, our boss would’ve long since used it as an advertisement on the internet.”

“We wish to take the hard drives storing your surveillance data. We will compensate you with entirely new hard drives.”

“No problem, but that event took place so many days ago. All records of that time are long gone.”

“We have ways to recover the data,” the middle-aged team leader said as he gestured to one of the police officers to go and collect the hard drives. He then continued asking, “It’s highly unlikely for a person to jump over 3.5 meters. Are you certain he didn’t cheat? Or did he step right on the line? Maybe even shifting his foot after landing?”

Stunned by the question, the female manager answered, “I… I don’t remember… After all, it’s been so long since that event.”

“Were there any other diners nearby back th-” Before the middle-aged man could finish his question, his satellite phone suddenly rang. Hurriedly connecting the call, he asked, “Xiao Li, did something happen?”

“Leader, the target skipped school again and is currently on his way home.” Xiao Li said through the phone. “His expression also looks somewhat strange.”

Upon hearing Xiao Li’s words, the middle-aged man’s eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, “Give out the order! Have everyone gather in Lanhe District! We’re conducting the surprise inspection!”

“So soon?”

“I feel that this is a chance! Hurry!”

“Understood!”

…

Roughly a dozen minutes later, Chen Yu rode his apartment’s elevator to the 19th floor and arrived back home.

Currently, his house was completely void of people.

Walking straight into his own room, Chen Yu quickly noticed a long and flat box sitting on the floor.

The product for his first official livestream had arrived!

Striding toward the box, Chen Yu tore away the seal without hesitation. Just as he was about to open the box, a warning vibration suddenly came from the invisible watch on his right wrist.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Startled, Chen Yu hurriedly turned off the watch’s stealth function and looked at its screen, and displayed on the screen was none other than the scene the invisible camera, which he had left downstairs, was recording.

Currently, numerous police cars were parked at the entrance of Lanhe District, and hundreds of fully armed policemen came walking out of these cars…

Meanwhile, walking at the forefront of this small army was none other than the five people he previously met in Principal Pang’s office!

“What the!?”
