"What's wrong?"
The others were surprised by Duan Chen's strong reaction.
But Duan Chen gritted his teeth.
Had he misread?
Why did that figure look so much like Jia Yunlian?
But how could Jia Yunlian possibly be here?
Unless there was something extremely important, she couldn't just leave Suchen.
"Nothing, I just saw wrongly."
Duan Chen sat back down, concealing what he had just seen.
A thoughtful glint flickered in his eyes.
If it really was Jia Yunlian, why was she here?
What was her motive?
Thinking about his current state, a thought suddenly struck Duan Chen.
Anyway, with his current face, Jia Yunlian would absolutely not be able to discover his true identity, as long as he paid attention to his usual habits, it would be fine.
Melbornis watched Duan Chen with great interest.
He suddenly said.
"Do you know what the Hanged Man means?"
Before Duan Chen could respond, he continued on his own.
"Those who have committed sins tried their best to frame justice, so justice was hung upside down, becoming the Hanged Man."
"Although tied up, it doesn't affect his observation of the world, but rather, because he is upside down, he can look at this twisted world with more normal eyes."
"The Hanged Man represents sacrifice."
"The cross signifies bondage."
"Who trusts you so much that they are willing to sacrifice for you?"
After saying this, Melbornis seemed satisfied. He smiled slightly and returned to the Rubik's Cube pattern on Duan Chen's hand. However, Duan Chen's mind could not be calmed.
Bai Ye.
Willingly sacrifice for him?
Why?
Or did the other party truly know the meaning of the Hanged Man?
Duan Chen's mind involuntarily recalled a girl.
The girl's image had gradually faded from his mind, but the only thing he remembered was that on the day she died, Bai Ye held her corpse and wailed in pain for a long time.
He suddenly understood something in his heart, and his eyes became even more obscure.
"What did you just discover?"
After Melbornis left, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Jun Ci took the initiative to ask about Duan Chen's unusual behavior just now.
But he didn't realize that as soon as Duan Chen heard his voice, his teeth ached, and he couldn't help but show a speechless expression.
Facing these people, Duan Chen didn't hide his thoughts.
"I think I saw an old acquaintance."
"But that person shouldn't have appeared here."
An old acquaintance?
"Is there danger?" Qin Nanyuan frowned slightly.
"If he discovers there's danger, then we have to be more careful in our actions."
Duan Chen shook his head.
"She's just someone I know, you don't need to worry too much. It's just that I'm very curious why she's here."
It shouldn't be.
He had more thoughts in his heart.
Then he slowly confirmed.
"I have to go and see."
The others didn't object, but nodded in agreement.
"Then we'll wait for you here. You should come back as soon as possible. If you haven't returned by six o'clock in the evening, we'll come looking for you."
Duan Chen nodded in agreement.
This was not their home turf, nor was it a familiar place. Moreover, they were on a mission and couldn't be willful.
Duan Chen climbed directly out of the window.
He clung to the window with one hand and firmly gripped the pipe on the wall with the other. Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people around, he climbed up like a spider.
Thanks to the presidential suite usually being on the top floor, he quickly reached the hotel's rooftop.
Stepping from rooftop to rooftop, he galloped forward rapidly, heading in the direction where he had last seen Jia Yunlian disappear.
Why was Jia Yunlian here?
It was too strange.
However.
It was already very late.
He glanced at the sky.
His teammates had only given him two hours, which was really trusting enough.
Duan Chen couldn't help but smile helplessly.
He galloped forward.
However, not long after he ran, he saw a kindergarten appear in front of him.
At the entrance of the kindergarten, it was just the time for students to be dismissed. Most children were picked up by their parents around three or four o'clock.
Kindergarten?
He paused.
Then, in the kindergarten, Duan Chen's gaze swept past, but suddenly stopped.
He saw an even more familiar figure.
It was a small and cute-looking little boy, with a stern face, looking like a serious little adult, making people can't help but chuckle.
The little boy was constantly looking at his picture book and drawing, and beside him was a woman.
The woman's face looked tired.
But this woman's face was extremely familiar to Duan Chen.
Jia Yunlian.
And Niya.
Why them?
Duan Chen instinctively stopped his steps, making himself completely unnoticeable, quietly lying on the rooftop, and amplifying his hearing.
The words that gradually came into his ears.
Spread over with the wind.
"This child has caused you trouble..."
"Niya's mother, it's not that we're criticizing you, but although you focus more on your career, you also need to pay more attention to your child!"
"Do you know that your child is becoming more and more withdrawn at school, and always zoning out and sleeping a lot in class?"
"Sorry, teacher, I'll pay attention to this matter."
"We hope you truly pay attention. This isn't the first time I've come to talk to you. If something like this happens again, we might have to ask you to withdraw."
"I understand, thank you for your trouble, I'm sorry, teacher..."
The female teacher looked helpless.
"I don't think it's trouble..." "I just feel sorry for the child."
"I'm sorry."
Jia Yunlian forced a smile and reached out, holding the little boy who had been looking down and writing, preparing to leave.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a prickling sensation on her back.
Jia Yunlian turned her head sharply.
But she didn't see anyone.
She felt uneasy.
In the end, she decided to take the child home first.
Duan Chen, who had already retracted his head, leaned against the rooftop, feeling surprised.
Niya.
Was Jia Minglian's child.
No one had ever known that Jia Yunlian had a child.
And why weren't they in Suchen anymore? Why did they come to this place?
Niya.
Duan Chen couldn't help but call out the child's name in his heart again.
