Chapter 7, I see that he is indeed a trustworthy good person

Ahead is the exit of the alley. Just as Li Jie hurriedly approached, a figure suddenly emerged from the side, standing in the center of the exit door

Li Jie remained noncommittal, fully aware that as a student who had not yet officially graduated, there was no necessity to engage in discussions with these individuals, as they would merely regard him as naively foolish. However, he did not agree and firmly refused to accept such rhetoric

Li Jie saw the boots under the person's raincoat and realized that it was the pest control officer, feeling a slight sense of relief, yet also sensing an ominous atmosphere. "How aggressive this is, just checking the information card, yet there is someone arranged behind to be ready for an ambush at any moment"

Deliver a message on behalf of a classmate

This afternoon, the 'Gentle Uncle' was active near Li Jie’s residence, during which he briefly left our sight. There is reason to suspect that this is not a coincidence. Keep an eye on him and report back at any time

Identity information shows: long-term residence in a Level 3 urban area, with no records of activities outside a Level 5 urban area for many years, and very limited instances of leaving the Level 3 urban area... Still a top student at Youhua College, truly a typical resident of a Level 3 urban area.

Li Jie then recalled that when Chen Shang, Gao Da, and the others first entered the academy, their skin tones were quite different from his. After living in the academy for several years, the differences had become negligible, to the point that he overlooked them. It was likely due to the effects of food pollution and air quality in the level 8 urban area that the skin tones of Chen's mother and the girl in front of him had a grayish hue, as if a layer of translucent gray film were adhered to their skin.

Forgive me for my youthful ignorance, as I only know that many of my classmates from level 8 cities and beyond are quite good. Li spoke in a nonchalant tone, which earned him a light snort from the other person, who then warned, "Kid, don't turn into trash, otherwise, you will definitely fall into my hands"

Li Jiezheng thought it was a robbery when the person directly shouted at him: "Identity information card"

At this moment, more important than the books is the woman crying behind the window of a certain building in the alley behind them

The person who eliminated the threat continued to be followed by him, yet left behind two individuals who entered the alley, casually surveying their surroundings without a clear objective

"You know this too?" Li Jie was very confused, unable to figure out where the problem lay. "Did I write something on my face?"

The captain is being overly cautious; he is merely here to find his daughter. What involvement is there for us to eliminate?

The two girls exchanged glances and were finally persuaded. "Really?"

Another man who approached from behind mocked, saying: "Dregs are just dregs. Before long, you will understand that even a lotus flower that grows from the mud still has its roots in the filthy soil. It is not so easy to escape the world of dregs and to rid oneself of the inherent attributes of dregs"

"Captain, what issue does Li Jie have?" The two individuals were bewildered, it truly should not be the case

However... the brother said you particularly enjoy helping others. The eighth-level urban area is definitely much more chaotic than the third-level urban area. What if you..." Two girls wearing plaid skirts, one shorter than Li Jie by half a head and the other by a head, looked at him with eyes full of concern.

The sarcastic thin man nodded helplessly in agreement; he had the least experience and could only miss out on good assignments. Compared to tailing, direct combat to exterminate the rats was certainly more interesting

It has been raining for a long time

As Li Jie noticed that it was getting late, he had no choice but to take the initiative to rise and take his leave. As expected, Chen's mother indeed intended to invite him to stay.

"It's really nothing!" Li Jie reiterated, smiling as he said, "I asked you to take me to the subway, and then let you two girls come back? What if Chen Shangna killed me? Besides, which man could do this in such a situation?"

These individuals have been with us for two days. If we delay any further, how will we find suitable interveners to assist Xiao Lai

However, the personnel in the eradication department are too self-centered and too arrogant

Another mocked, saying: "Hmph! His daughter has fallen for the scum of this place, and he still hasn't resolved the issue after more than a month. A judge who cannot even guide his own family dares to think he can intervene to save the world—it's simply laughable!"

The man blocking the road frowned slightly and said with some distress: "Everything has come together! You follow first, and we will regroup after the matter at the granary is resolved"

"No need, really no need, Aunt..." Li Jie’s refusal was of no consequence, as Chen's mother unceremoniously pushed her two daughters out the door. Chen Shang's two younger sisters were also quite willing; one on the left and one on the right, they accompanied him downstairs, repeatedly saying: "Elder brother said that you grew up in a third-tier city, right? How could we possibly feel at ease letting you wander outside alone at night!"

"Lovely girl." Li Jie shook his head and chuckled. He had promised it was steamed, and of course, it could only be steamed. It would take at least half an hour to walk briskly to the subway station. If he were to run with his head down, how foolish would that be! Just as he was pondering this, Li Jie suddenly heard the sound of footsteps splashing in the puddles behind him, which, despite the continuous heavy rain, still could not be completely masked.

It seems that he indeed has written on his face

I appreciate your kindness, Auntie. I need to get to the academy early tomorrow, and I have other matters to attend to in the evening. Li Jie insisted on his stance, while Chen's mother hurriedly instructed her two daughters, saying: "You two see Li Jie off; he is not familiar with this area."

She laughed heartily and reached out to tug at Li Jie’s raincoat. "There’s no such thing sold in an eighth-level urban area; just by looking at the skin on your face, I can tell you didn’t grow up here"

Understood

Hmph! The man was filled with anger, and the petite woman he held onto continued to grit her teeth even after they had walked a considerable distance. However, the struggle between them and the books had a long history and would undoubtedly continue; it was not something that could be resolved by their quarrel at this moment

It is truly unexpected that this young man is actually the target of the gentle uncle's intervention... The thin man, who had just spoken in a mocking tone, was quite astonished. According to Li Jie’s profile, there was no indication that he could be the subject of intervention. He comes from a good family, has a cheerful personality, is warm-hearted, and has no abnormal preferences.

Li Jie felt as if she had become a minor child, yet when faced with their sincere concern, she could not lose her temper. Instead, she could only comfort them gently, saying: "I will keep my head down, not look at anyone, and not get involved in anything. I will just quickly bury myself in running to the subway station, and everything will be fine"

This fellow's combat gene inclination is extremely extreme, and his related perception is very keen. I noticed that his arm trembled imperceptibly just now, which is a skilled technique for weapons in a state of readiness. Don't be careless. The man blocking the way reminded before leaving, and after he left, the man who loved to mock secretly sneered. "Did you notice that? Do I need you to remind me? Don't give me a chance to achieve merit, or it will make you realize where your abilities should be positioned"

However, the incident occurred suddenly, and there was simply not enough time to select the interveners. Can the few hastily determined candidates truly resolve an incident involving serious injuries

How strange, I have nothing on me, and I am only wearing school shoes, yet I can still attract the attention of ill-intentioned individuals? Li Jie secretly became vigilant, and with a subtle tremor of his arms, two short swords, which were secured at the forearms, immediately slid out slightly, allowing for easy drawing at any moment while preventing them from loosening or falling off

The girl turned her head to glance at the road blocked by the patrol team and asked him with a smile, "Going to the subway?"

The man nodded slightly, interrupting the connection to the identity information card. There were no issues with the data comparison from the city network, and the internal information also indicated that Li Jie had a long-standing relationship with Chen Shang. Furthermore, the residence of the bibliophile was right here. "Since you live in a tier 3 district, you should avoid coming to places like this. There are plenty of wasteful social resources in tier 8 districts; associating with them will only taint you with their undesirable attributes."

Chen Shang, same college

As for the raincoat, he really did not think much of it; it was something he casually bought at the academy, very ordinary, yet here it was considered an unusual characteristic in the eyes of others

The person blocking the road reported the investigation results from the alley to the captain, including the questioning of Li Jie. Unexpectedly, their captain took a keen interest in Li Jie's matter, instructing them to stand by for a moment before ultimately ordering, "Follow him."

It is quite late, so please do not leave. It is still raining outside, and the streets are not safe. You can catch the bus early tomorrow morning...

The girl had some colorful graffiti painted on her face, and her long hair, peeking out from under the raincoat's hood, was a riot of colors, entirely aimed at being eye-catching, without any concern for color coordination. However, she was truly quite beautiful, the kind of youthful beauty that makes conversation hard to resist

The limitations of resources, the division of labor in society, and the varying degrees of contribution determine the existence of walls, which indeed delineate the disparities in living conditions. However, this absolutely cannot serve as a basis for classifying social hierarchies, nor can it be used to define the worth or status of individuals.

Li Jie waved his hand, and the two girls shook their heads, insisting on watching from the window until Li Jie turned around the other building, at which point they finally withdrew their gaze

Li Jie said nothing further and left directly

A man's confidence is as terrible as the weather at this moment

Though he is dissatisfied, he still has to carry out the task at hand

It is absolutely 'steamed'! Li Jie nodded solemnly. Only then did Chen Shang's two younger sisters return home, and upon arriving, they waved from the window to report their safety.

They walked a considerable distance, and the petite woman turned back several times, but was persuaded by the man. "Don't look back, they are still following us."

A girl on a homemade skateboard suddenly stopped in front of Li Jie, her smile radiant. "Hey, aren't you the handsome guy from here?"

Look

Li Jie walked a short distance out of the street and found that the road he had come from was blocked. However, there were still many people on the street, even though it was raining. Many young people, some of whom appeared to be teenagers, were wearing raincoats of various colors.

He pretended not to care and continued forward, glancing with the corner of his eye at a bend in the road; however, he saw nothing at all. ... He should have seen something, yet he did not ... . ... Li Jie realized that the person behind was on guard, thus avoiding his line of sight as he turned.

Having lived in a tertiary urban area for many years and being a student at the academy, Li Jie, although not fond of the pest control department personnel, was not nervous when they stopped him. He calmly connected the identity information from his wristwatch to the nano-glasses of the person who had blocked his way

There is no time left, it cannot be delayed any longer! The man steeled his heart and decided to take the risk, for time waits for no one. The assessment of Xiao Lai's condition has escalated from moderate injury to severe injury, which means that without suitable interveners, a terrible turn of events will befall her

We are particularly safe here; it is your unfamiliar face that poses a danger. Chen Shang's two younger sisters stood downstairs, feeling somewhat at a loss. If they do not see him off, they are worried; if they do see him off, Li Jie has already made it clear that it will only delay his time

Two exterminators focused their full attention on a figure walking down the stairs

"What are you doing here?" When the person blocking the road asked, the man who had been following Li Jie all the way came over, as he already knew that Li Jie was fine

Li smiled wryly and said, "Just send me downstairs; if it's far, I will have to quietly follow behind you to ensure that you return safely before I can leave"
