24 hours to-save the world 127

Originally, Zhushi Jiu just wanted to eavesdrop on Xue An and his team’s plan, so he got a Black Soldier to listen in on their conversation from outside the door.

However, the message he overheard made Zhushi Jiu feel like he was in a different world.

Brother, this initial tool person. Zhushi Jiu would never forget his name in this lifetime.

He still remembered how Brother had cooperated with him online, stirring up a storm, and although they had never met, Zhushi Jiu had a good impression of Brother. In the previous cycle, he had even cried his eyes out for Brother, shouting and wailing uncontrollably.

How could this name appear here?

Zhushi Jiu let the Black Soldier continue listening, but all they heard was some idle chatter, and they even started discussing what to eat for dinner and whether they should find a nice day to go fishing!

It was unbelievable.

Not to mention Zhushi Jiu’s current state of emotional numbness, he estimated that even if he recovered his emotions, he still wouldn’t be able to understand their mentality.

Were they here to complete a mission or go on a vacation?

Zhushi Jiu couldn’t understand, so he used his gaze to ask the Black Soldier if they had misheard, but the Black Soldier remained silent, not responding.

No wonder, with such an attitude, it was normal for them to get beaten up by the Black Soldier.

Zhushi Jiu shook his head, taking the two Black Soldiers back to their room.

Xue An and his team were indeed very relaxed.

Before they departed, they had prepared everything, memorized the ship’s structure, infiltrated the identity system, and now they were carelessly sneaking onto the ship, thinking they hadn’t attracted anyone’s attention.

It was no wonder they felt so relaxed, as they didn’t think this ship would involve so many things; in their eyes, this mission was just a free vacation.

When evening arrived, Xue An and Liu Jing put on their western suits and formal attire, walking out of their room.

Zhushi Jiu, who had also walked out, was wearing casual clothes, a white T-shirt, black trousers, and a coat.

“Quite a coincidence,” Zhushi Jiu smiled and greeted them.

Due to the coincidences that had occurred that morning, Xue An and Liu Jing didn’t think much of it, exchanging a knowing glance.

“Ah, yes, quite a coincidence.”

After experiencing multiple coincidences, such as taking the elevator at the same time, staying on the same floor, and now going out at the same time, they felt like they were dreaming.

Zhushi Jiu chatted with them: “Are you guys going to the banquet now?”

“Yes,” Xue An nodded.

“Then that’s quite a coincidence; I’m also going. Why don’t we go together?”

Xue An and Liu Jing looked at the two Black Soldiers behind Zhushi Jiu, remaining speechless for a moment.

If they really went with this guy, wouldn’t they attract too much attention? Their team’s strategist, Jingjing, had specifically reminded them not to draw attention to themselves.

But for the time being, they couldn’t think of an excuse to refuse, so they agreed. In their hearts, they thought they could find an excuse to separate from Zhushi Jiu at the banquet.

Zhushi Jiu pretended not to see their expressions, putting on a radiant and familiar face, but in his heart, he was as clear as a mirror.

“Are your two daughters not going to the banquet?”

Xue An casually replied, “The kids aren’t interested in adult gatherings like this.”

This obviously contradicted what he said earlier about bringing his family to see the world, but Zhushi Jiu didn’t expose them, only shaking his head inwardly.

They couldn’t even come up with a decent excuse; it was clear they didn’t have a sense of crisis about this mission.

Several people arrived at the banquet hall, where many guests were chatting. The atmosphere was harmonious, with no signs of anything unusual.

Zhushi Jiu scanned the room, wondering how many people Xu Feng had arranged to be here.

As he scanned the room, he spotted Wang Chong and his group.

The only difference from the previous cycle was that one person was missing. The group still had the same people, including Ji Hui, Qian Zele, Ma Qunbo, and Sun Haoran.

Before Xue An and Liu Jing could find an excuse to separate from Zhushi Jiu, Zhushi Jiu took the initiative to say, “I have some business to attend to; I’ll take my leave first.”

Xue An and Liu Jing hastily waved goodbye: “If you have business, go take care of it; we’ll just take a stroll.”

After Zhushi Jiu left, Xue An and Liu Jing both let out a sigh of relief. This smooth talker had finally left.

Just as they were about to withdraw their gaze from watching Zhushi Jiu leave, they saw him walk over to Wang Chong’s group!

Xue An and Liu Jing’s gazes froze, slightly shocked.

This kid knew Wang Chong?

They saw Zhushi Jiu walk over to Wang Chong’s side and cordially pat Wang Chong’s chest, displaying a very familiar demeanor.

“We can use him to get close to Wang Chong’s circle,” Xue An said, looking at the scene in front of them, speaking in a low voice.

Liu Jing slightly nodded in agreement.

…

Wang Chong rubbed his chest, which was aching a bit, forcing a smile. In his heart, he was cursing; did we have such a close relationship? Previously, you loved to ignore me, and now you’re acting so familiar?

“Old Wang, you’re not very nice; you didn’t call me, and now you’re having a banquet without me. Are these the friends you told me about?”

Zhushi Jiu’s self-introduction: “My name is Zhu Ge, the ‘ge’ in song.”

Qian Zele laughed: “Hey, bro, your name is quite interesting.”

Although the several people didn’t know Zhushi Jiu’s identity, being so familiar with Wang Chong definitely made him not an ordinary person, especially with the two Black Soldiers behind him, making him seem even more mysterious.

This time, Zhushi Jiu didn’t put on airs, and he didn’t even start a conflict with them.

Since they were not ordinary people, they had a certain level of prestige, but seeing Zhushi Jiu’s familiar demeanor with Wang Chong, they naturally wouldn’t have the guts to pick a fight.

He used his foresight advantage to grasp the direction of their interest and conversation topics, chatting with them smoothly.

Even Sun Haoran, who had held a grudge against him in the previous cycle, became friends with him in this cycle. Ji Hui, Qian Zele, and Ma Qunbo were also immediately drawn to him.

…

Liu Jing said, “That kid has quite strong social skills.”

Xue An ordered a glass of red wine from the waiter, pretending to sip it while still keeping an eye on Zhushi Jiu’s side.

Liu Jing also read their lip language from afar, seeing how that kid had instantly become friends with Sun Haoran and the others, showcasing extraordinary social skills.

“Let’s observe a bit more,” Xue An said cautiously. “He might not be a social expert; Sun Haoran and the others might just be giving him face because of Wang Chong.”
