Chapter 960: An Inclusive Big City

The train started moving slowly.

The woman looked at the metropolis gradually moving away outside the window, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. She casually spat the melon seed shell from the corner of her mouth into a stainless steel plate, making a light sound.

This woman was none other than Chen Ling after activating [Faceless].

Chen Ling was already well-versed in faking his own death to escape. After the missile shattered his body, the remains fell off the cliff and into the dense forest... And with the deduction of 50% expectation value, he was soon reborn in a place where no one was around.

In fact, Chen Ling hadn't been truly pushed to a dead end at that time; he still had many ways to maneuver and stall. But the main reason Chen Ling chose to commit suicide was to eliminate the tracking spell in his body.

Although the Divine Path possessors of this era were not high-ranking, their methods were completely different from the Nine Monarchs era. The Blue Divine Path activated by cameras, the Soldier Divine Path that could snipe and prevent wounds from healing, the tracking spell that could inexplicably lock onto others...

Even Chen Ling couldn't guard against these abilities. He didn't know where he had been tracked, nor did he know how to solve it, so he simply chose to be reborn to clear all negative effects from himself.

In order to leave Shanghai, Chen Ling had completely changed his appearance, age, and even his gender. He didn't believe that even after doing all this, those "White Hands" would still have the means to track him.

"Hello, how much for the fruit platter?"

"Fifty for a portion."

"Scan the code."

A figure stood at the carriage door for a while before walking toward Chen Ling's position with a fruit platter, unhurriedly.

Because it was a green-skinned train, the two rows of seats were facing each other, with a small table in the middle. At this time, an old lady was sitting next to Chen Ling, chatting happily with another old lady opposite.

"Excuse me, could you move?" The young man stood in the aisle with the fruit platter. "I'm sitting in the window seat inside."

The woman by the window was looking at Shanghai. Hearing this voice, her eyes trembled slightly, then she glanced at the young man standing next to her and the ferocious mask at his waist, pretending not to know him, and silently withdrew her gaze...

The old lady shifted her butt backward, barely leaving a path for the young man. After the latter struggled to move to the opposite side of Chen Ling, he sat down slowly.

"What a coincidence." The young man pushed the fruit platter to the woman opposite. "You're here too."

Chen Ling glanced at him and spoke coldly:

"Do I know you?"

The two old ladies, who were still gossiping, closed their mouths at the same time and silently pricked up their ears.

"Oh... my oversight." The young man seemed to realize something. "Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Shen Nan."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not interested in knowing you."

"I'm quite curious, how did you manage to change so much... Is it makeup? Plastic surgery? No, that's not right... You even changed your gender... Could it be that you..."

The two old ladies' eyes went straight, and they even started uncontrollably picking melon seeds from Chen Ling's bowl. While secretly glancing at the man and woman beside them, they skillfully stuffed the melon seeds into their mouths, as if some instinct carved into their bones had been activated.

Shanghai is indeed a big city; it's truly inclusive!

Chen Ling's gaze toward Shen Nan was incredibly complex, and he couldn't help but speak:

"I've already gone to such lengths, how did you find me??"

"I saw it." Shen Nan paused for a moment. "When you jumped off the cliff, I was preparing to save you... But you know, those who were besieging you are considered my own people, so I couldn't come out in person. I planned to take you away from the bottom of the cliff, as far away from Shanghai as possible...

But I didn't expect that they would actually..."

Shen Nan didn't continue.

But in the minds of the two old ladies, a brilliant drama had already been imagined. The speed of eating melon seeds became faster and faster, wishing they could stick their ears to the two people!

"Then why did you come to find me?" Chen Ling asked with a frown.

"I'm just a little curious. I want to know what exactly you are going to do..."

Shen Nan peeled an orange and continued, "I followed you all the way. Although you've changed a lot, so much that I couldn't even recognize you... but there are some things I can sense."

"What?"

"The two souls in your body."

The old lady opened her mouth in shock, and the melon seeds in her hand fell all over the floor.

"Grandma, you've reached your stop, get off the train quickly." A conductor walked over kindly and said.

The old lady didn't say a word, took out a few banknotes from her pocket, and stuffed them into the conductor's hand.

"One more stop, I want to sit for one more stop!"

Conductor: ?

Perhaps because the next stop was too far away, the old lady finally didn't choose to pay for the extra ticket. She looked at Chen Ling and the other person reluctantly, and finally patted Shen Nan on the shoulder:

"Grandma supports you."

Shen Nan: ???

No one knew what kind of stories would spread rapidly in the village as the two old ladies left, making countless people refresh their understanding of the love-hate entanglements of Shanghai's wealthy families and be full of curiosity about this magical and inclusive city.

Chen Ling and Shen Nan didn't realize anything was wrong, nor did they know what kind of roles they would play in their mouths. They only knew that after the two old ladies left, their seats were much more spacious.

Chen Ling adjusted his sitting posture and continued:

"I thought you would catch me and take me back, or report me to them."

"I don't have such deep feelings for Bureau 749, and becoming a 'White Hand' was just to get a reasonable and legal identity." Shen Nan sighed. "After saving you, those people kept coming to me to ask questions, batch after batch, it was annoying as hell... I also wanted to take this opportunity to go out and avoid the limelight."

"You want to run away with me? You trust me that much?"

"Before coming here, I made a phone call to Old Xiao." Shen Nan said calmly. "She asked me to take good care of you, saying that her family owes you a big favor... Old Xiao was kind to me back then, and I couldn't refuse her request."

So it was Old Xiao who stepped in... Chen Ling understood in his heart.

Although Shen Nan's path was special, his strength was definitely not weak in Bureau 749. Being able to make him risk protecting himself showed how much face Old Xiao had.

"Who is taking care of whom is hard to say." Chen Ling stuffed an orange into his mouth expressionlessly. "After all, you are an ordinary person most of the time... If I hadn't kicked you away at that time, you would have died once already."

"Perhaps."

Shen Nan shrugged, leaning back in his chair, supporting his head with one hand, and said leisurely,

"But there is one thing I can really help you with."

"What?"

"Solve your two souls in one body."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
