Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 40

Ch 40: Straw of Salvation

It was half an hour later when they left Lin Yun’s house.

Lin Yun’s face was indescribably solemn, her teeth clenched, and her eyes were red.

After glancing at Lin Yun, Qin Jin-nian exhaled gently and comforted her, “Sister Yun, relax a little. Ningning is definitely safe for now. Next, you need to buy some time for my friend.”

Lin Yun nodded quickly. She clenched her fist and said solemnly, “I, I understand! ……Today, all day long, I will make sure that Teacher Wang can’t go anywhere!”

At the end, she gritted her teeth: “It’s true that you can’t judge a person by their face……I didn’t expect her, she actually is, is……”

At the end, even though she was as gentle as she was, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes……

But soon, it was replaced by a strong sense of hatred.

As a single mother, she could accept many hardships. But the only thing she couldn’t accept……was something happening to her child.

For Ningning, she could even give up her life!

Thinking of this, Lin Yun looked at Qin Jin-nian, “Xiao Nian, are we leaving now?”

Seeing Lin Yun’s appearance, Qin Jin-nian breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded: “Let’s go now.”

Now, Lin Yun’s expression, apart from being a little tired, no longer had the despair and haggardness of just now.

This made Qin Jin-nian believe that his decision was correct.

If he continued to let Lin Yun wait at home without knowing anything, Qin Jin-nian estimated that before he could rescue Ningning, Lin Yun would have a mental breakdown.

She would either die or go crazy.

And precisely, the key today was to restrain that Teacher Wang, preventing her from discovering anything amiss, ensuring that Qin Jin-nian could smoothly obtain the Road Permit.

So, he simply gave Lin Yun something to do.

As the aggrieved party, Lin Yun had plenty of excuses to keep Teacher Wang busy……as long as the Church of the End didn’t want things to escalate to the point of being specially watched by the police.

Thus, Qin Jin-nian selectively told Lin Yun some things.

Well, the part he mainly kept was about himself……His role became that of a friend……

The rest, Qin Jin-nian didn’t hide anything.

Including the matter of the Church of the End.

Originally, Qin Jin-nian planned to keep it a secret, but after he actually spoke, he found that whether he hid it or not didn’t really matter.

Because the current Lin Yun, in all likelihood, had already caught the eye of the Church of the End……After all, as the mother of a ‘Holy Seed’……it’s hard not to be noticed.

Although, up until now, Qin Jin-nian still hadn’t figured out what the so-called ‘Holy Seed’ was, and why Ningning was chosen……

But it wasn’t hard to see from the conversation between the headmistress and that mysterious ‘-‘ number that the ‘Holy Seed’ was very rare and related to the ‘True God’……

Extremely valued.

Therefore, Lin Yun would inevitably be watched by the Church of the End.

If that was the case, what was there to hide?

Don’t hide things, it would only cause more trouble.

At first, Lin Yun’s reaction was exactly what Qin Jin-nian had expected: blank, dazed, and at a loss……

But when Qin Jin-nian mentioned ‘Ningning’, her expression changed……

It became serious, concerned.

In the end, Qin Jin-nian said: “Sister Yun, you don’t need to worry about the Church of the End. Someone will naturally handle it. You can also temporarily rest assured about Ningning’s safety……At least for a short time, Ningning is very safe. But now, I need your help.”

Hearing that she needed to help, Lin Yun immediately stood up, and urgently said: “What do you want me to do? Anything is fine!”

Immediately, Qin Jin-nian made a request, asking her to keep an eye on Teacher Wang today, preventing her from having time to contact the outside world……

Lin Yun naturally agreed without hesitation.

In the end, Lin Yun looked at Qin Jin-nian, biting her lip and said: “Xiao Nian, actually, I don’t understand a lot of what you said……But, but I believe you! I believe you will definitely bring Ningning back……Whatever you want me to do, I will do it! I’ll listen to you!”

From then on, Lin Yun regarded Qin Jin-nian as her only straw of salvation.

Her trust in him also reached an almost blind level.

This saved Qin Jin-nian a lot of effort.

After the two went downstairs, they went straight out of the community.

They went directly to the entrance of Sunshine Kindergarten. After Qin Jin-nian nodded to Lin Yun, Lin Yun took a deep breath, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

Not too long, the call went through.

“Hello……”

On the other end of the phone, a soft voice sounded.

“Teacher Wang……” Lin Yun’s voice immediately became weak, filled with deep fatigue and haggardness.

“Ah, it’s Ningning’s mother……” Teacher Wang seemed startled, and after a pause, she asked hesitantly: “Are you calling because……”

“I didn’t sleep all night after I went back yesterday, and I feel that what we said at the police station yesterday wasn’t detailed enough. Some key information might have been overlooked and missed……Could you trouble you to go to the police station with me again? You are Ningning’s homeroom teacher. Now that Ningning is missing, you must help me……”

Lin Yun’s voice was tired.

But it seemed to carry some kind of almost neurotic obsession.

“Ah? This……Where are you now?”

“I’m at the entrance of your kindergarten.”

◈◈◈

“……I see. Then, please wait for me for a moment, I’ll be right over……”

“Okay, thank you for your trouble.”

“No, no trouble……If I hadn’t been asleep at the time, Ningning wouldn’t have……I have a great responsibility. Wait for me for a while, I’m at the kindergarten, I’ll be out immediately.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you here.”

After ending the call, Lin Yun looked at Qin Jin-nian.

Qin Jin-nian nodded to her, and then said in a low voice: “After you get to the police station, you just need to pay attention and don’t let her leave your sight.”

“Mm!” Lin Yun bit her lip and nodded.

Only then did Qin Jin-nian say: “Alright, then I’ll go to my friend’s place first. We’ll talk again tonight.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yun nodded.

Qin Jin-nian turned around.

“Xiao Nian.”

Lin Yun suddenly called out to him.

Qin Jin-nian turned his head to look at Lin Yun.

He saw Lin Yun bow deeply to him, tears still couldn’t help but well up: “Ningning, I’m counting on you.”

Qin Jin-nian looked deeply at Lin Yun, finally nodded, then waved his hand and turned to leave.

And not long after he walked out, the phone in his pocket rang.

He took it out and looked……

Sure enough, it was the headmistress’s phone that was ringing.

The caller ID showed ‘Teacher Wang’.

The phone was ringing, but he didn’t answer it, and it was hung up not long after.

Then, with a ‘ding dong’ sound.

A text message came.

He opened it and looked.

“The Holy Seed’s mother is at the school again, asking me to go to the police station with her.”

Qin Jin-nian waited for two minutes before replying: “Okay, remember what we talked about yesterday……Try to comfort her and don’t let her make a scene. Also, when facing the police, don’t let any clues slip.”

Soon, a reply came from the other side.

“Received.”

Qin Jin-nian looked at these two words and exhaled gently.

Very good, done.

Now, just wait for the person who will deliver the Road Permit to arrive.

His eyes flickered slightly, and then he went towards Tongmuqi.

Back home, he changed into the outfit from last night, put on a hood, and went out.

Early in the morning, there were still not many people downstairs. Qin Jin-nian came to the headmistress’s car.

After getting in the car, the vehicle started and drove out of the community.

He was going to the headmistress’s side now……

To keep an eye on the person delivering the Road Permit.

If he could follow the clues……

‘Ding Dong’.

The phone rang lightly.

Someone sent a message again?

Who could it be?

Qin Jin-nian looked at the headmistress’s phone……

But there were no messages on it.

This made him pause for a moment, and then he realized……

It was his own phone.

He took out his phone and opened the screen saver, a message popped up.

“You skipped class yesterday, are you planning to continue today?”

Unexpectedly……

It was a message from Chen Feifei.
