#314 - Chapter 313 Yes, Yes, Yes
Upon witnessing this, Xiang Nanzhi, who was beside him, twitched her lips and said, "Your little mouth is like it's been blessed, you really get whatever you ask for!"
Ye Yu asked with some unease, "Are these people here for us?"
Li Chenqiu said with a dark face, "They're here for me."
Soon, the group from the customs department stopped in front of Li Chenqiu. The middle-aged man in the lead took out his credentials from his pocket and showed them to Li Chenqiu, saying:
"Mr. Li Chenqiu, hello. We are from the Imperial Security Agency's Customs Department. We are now conducting a lawful inquiry. Please cooperate."
He spoke in fluent Federal Common Tongue.
Li Chenqiu had been learning this language since elementary school, so he naturally understood it.
Li Chenqiu nodded, turned to look at Ye Yu and Xiang Nanzhi, and gestured for them to leave first.
Xiang Nanzhi was about to leave with Ye Yu when a young customs officer stretched out his arm, blocking their way: "Please wait a moment, the two of you. As accompanying personnel, you cannot leave without permission."
Xiang Nanzhi smiled and made an "OK" gesture, leading the somewhat uneasy Ye Yu back.
Li Chenqiu withdrew his gaze and calmly looked at the somewhat thin middle-aged man: "What do you want to ask?"
The man put away his credentials and asked in a cold voice, "Please tell us the purpose of your visit to the Southern Federation."
Li Chenqiu answered truthfully, "I am a freshman at the Zhaixing Academy. I came to the Southern Federation this time to see Professor Lu Xiancong, who lives here."
"The reason?"
"I am very interested in knowledge about ancient civilizations, so I admire Professor Lu of our academy very much. I came to the Southern Federation this time to ask Professor Lu about a few questions that have troubled me for a long time," Li Chenqiu replied fluently.
The man's pupils contracted slightly: "According to our understanding, Mr. Li Chenqiu, you are more than just a student at Zhaixing, right!"
Li Chenqiu nodded: "Yes, I am also a Discipline Enforcer of District One of the Zhaixing Academy's Discipline and Law Division. Is there a problem?"
Wén Rénqīng had not yet officially issued the appointment regarding his becoming the Chief Enforcer, so strictly speaking, Li Chenqiu was still a Discipline Enforcer of District One of the Discipline and Law Division.
The man smiled politely: "Naturally, there is no problem. According to the regulations of our Customs Department, we now need to check your luggage and your friends' luggage, and conduct a body search, please…"
"Wait a minute." Xiang Nanzhi interrupted the man and walked to Li Chenqiu's side.
The man asked in a deep voice, "Is there a problem?"
"Of course, I remember that only Heavenly Chosen or Mortal Chosen at the Eighth Restriction or above need to have their luggage checked and be subjected to a body search by the Customs Department, right!"
"That's right."
"I am a Third Restriction Heavenly Chosen, Li Chenqiu is a Fifth Restriction Heavenly Chosen, and our translator is an ordinary Restrictionless person. May I ask, which of us is above the Eighth Restriction?" Xiang Nanzhi asked in confusion.
"Although Mr. Li Chenqiu is a Fifth Restriction Heavenly Chosen, according to our understanding, he killed a Ninth Restriction Heavenly Chosen for some unavoidable reason, and with the help of a Spirit Artifact, he has the strength of the Ninth Restriction."
"Having and actually reaching…"
"Let them check if they want, we are innocent, what are we afraid of?"
Li Chenqiu reached out and pressed Xiang Nanzhi's shoulder.
He naturally knew that the other party was worried about the white paper being discovered by these people, and he was also worried, so he had already thought of a countermeasure.
"You…"
Xiang Nanzhi was about to say something, but after seeing Li Chenqiu's calm expression, she finally swallowed her words back.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
The man raised his arm and waved to the people behind him, and everyone immediately stepped forward and surrounded the three of them.
Time passed by, and besides Li Chenqiu and the others, there were no other passengers on the shore.
The three people's luggage was all opened, and miscellaneous items were messily placed on the ground.
Xiang Nanzhi's potato chips were torn open and thrown on the ground at will, Ye Yu's books were torn directly from the middle, and the ground was full of paper scraps, and Li Chenqiu's clothes were cut open with scissors, turning into rags that could no longer be worn.
Li Chenqiu stood there with a gloomy face, silent for a long time.
At this moment, he roughly determined why these people had come. They didn't seem to be conducting an ordinary inspection, but more like they were looking for something.
Apart from that white paper, Li Chenqiu couldn't think of anything else.
"What exactly is this piece of paper for, that the Takahashi Conglomerate values it so much?"
A deep curiosity flashed across Li Chenqiu's brows.
"It's enough to open one bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips, how many more bags are you going to open!" Xiang Nanzhi shouted at the customs officer who was opening his potato chips.
The customs officer who was searching Xiang Nanzhi said: "The Customs Department will compensate you three times for your losses."
Li Chenqiu, who was standing aside, perked up his ears, then coughed lightly, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in the lead: "My clothes are all custom-made, and any one of them costs tens of thousands."
Middle-aged man: -_-b
A few minutes later, the customs officers finished their inspections or body searches one after another and returned behind the man.
Li Chenqiu asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you need me to cooperate with?"
The middle-aged man squeezed out a smile: "No, I wish you a pleasant journey."
Li Chenqiu instructed: "I've already given you my card number, remember to transfer the money."
The middle-aged man nodded silently and left the place with his subordinates.
Seeing everyone leave, Xiang Nanzhi leaned close to Li Chenqiu and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hide that piece of paper? You didn't throw it away, did you?"
"Guess."
Li Chenqiu grabbed his empty backpack from the ground and bent over to pick up the items that could still be used.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Xiang Nanzhi that he had hidden the piece of paper in his body through Absolute Control. Unless the customs officers used knives, it would be impossible to find it.
After the three of them packed their luggage, they walked towards the exit.
Xiang Nanzhi said excitedly, "Let's go experience the special cuisine of Xiyue City first, then visit the various attractions, and have a good rest for one night. What do you think about making a battle plan tomorrow?"
"Not good. The Takahashi Conglomerate has already noticed us. The longer we delay, the more difficult the rescue will be. We'll go see Lu Xiancong right away and make a rescue plan as soon as possible."
"Can't you let people relax a little? We came all the way across the ocean, shouldn't we enjoy ourselves a little…"
"Then you go enjoy yourself. I'll call you if I need anything. Have fun, Brother Xiang."
"What do you mean? You don't think that I'm doing this just to indulge in pleasure, do you? The real purpose of my doing this is to make the Takahashi Conglomerate lower their guard against us, let them…"
"Right, right, right."
"You motherfucker…"
The two argued, while Ye Yu, who was following behind, was dumbfounded.
Does my boss have the strength of the Ninth Restriction?
Are you kidding me!
Aren't those at the Ninth Restriction all those high-ranking, powerful, and extravagant people?
My boss is reluctant to spend money on a sea-view house, can he be at the Ninth Restriction?
