I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 93 Rescued My Cousin

Su Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then asked:

Is this targeting you?

"It's probably not targeting me; she's here for an interview at the Space Research Institute."

Su Wanqing frowned again and said:

"Yu Li has also been keeping an eye on the Space Research Institute recently, wanting to arrange for one of his confidants to go there as a graduate student."

Zhang Lingyun quickly gathered his thoughts and said:

"Then let's divide the work. You deal with Yu Li, and I'll deal with Zheng Yu."

Su Wanqing nodded and said:

"I understand. But I must warn you in advance that I may not be a match for Yu Li."

"Then you should try to stall him for a while."

"That's no problem."

Zhang Lingyun arrived at the Dongxing City Public Security Bureau and explained the situation to the receptionist.

The receptionist initially didn't want to get involved because she was in a low-ranking position and couldn't handle such matters.

But Zhang Lingyun revealed the [Golden Rose] badge, which forced her to intervene.

The front desk staff can only request instructions from their superiors.

But at this moment, she couldn't contact Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu had gone out and was discussing something with Yu Li.

Zhang Lingyun waited for half an hour, but no one who could take charge came out.

He could only call Su Wanqing again.

This is when connections really come into play.

Soon, a section chief came out.

He adopted a businesslike attitude and invited Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang to his office for a talk.

Then he poured tea for the two of them before smiling and saying:

"I also graduated from Green Island University."

Zhang Lingyun quickly chimed in:

"So it's your senior."

This is the advantage of universities with local connections.

You'll have a lot of connections with people from the same university around the university's campus.

Of course, whether or not these connections can be utilized depends on the individual's own abilities.

Zhang Lingyun recounted her cousin's situation.

The senior student, Lin Zhiyuan, immediately checked the records and indeed found many problems.

From the arrest to the interrogation, nothing was done according to procedure.

As for the confession, it was riddled with flaws.

It's fine to scare a newbie, but it's not a proper document at all.

Zhang Lingyun found this senior to be quite reliable, so she borrowed the name of the Golden Rose Society.

Explain to him the purpose of this trip, and that Zheng Yu might be the mole.

Hopefully, he can seize this opportunity and make positive contributions, rather than ruining his future.

Lin Zhiyuan was able to climb to this position.

Of course, he's not a fool; he also has his own network of connections.

He quickly made a contact and corroborated Zhang Lingyun's words.

Lin Zhiyuan immediately looked at Zhang Lingyun with newfound respect.

He never imagined that such a young junior could have such great power.

Then, he subtly inquired about Zhang Lingyun's backer.

Zhang Lingyun then said:

"I am Lan Ruoxi's apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan seemed to understand everything at once.

He couldn't help but sigh:

"So you're Lan's apprentice. Lan was our school beauty back in the day."

Zhang Lingyun smiled and asked:

"Senior, you didn't ever pursue my master, did you?"

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand awkwardly and said:

"Back then, I could only admire her from afar; I wasn't qualified to get close to Junior Lan."

"So your strength is pretty good now."

"No, no, that's far from enough. Lan Ruoxi is already the vice president, and she's a [Great Witch] at that."

I wonder what kind of person will be able to pluck this flower in the future.

Lin Zhiyuan sighed over his lost youth.

Then, he frankly admitted that he really wanted to improve.

I hope that, out of consideration for our classmate, I can entrust this task to him.

Zhang Lingyun readily agreed.

***

Therefore, the task was divided into two parts.

On one side of the Golden Rose Society branch, Yu Li and Su Wanqing were locked in a power struggle.

All members have to choose a side.

Because once a hot war breaks out, no one can remain neutral.

This is what they mean by "once you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny."

On the other hand, Lin Zhiyuan reported to his superiors and was also actively contacting trustworthy people.

Once the superiors give approval, he will immediately arrest Zheng Yu.

As for Chen Xiaoya's matter, it became the least important thing.

Lin Zhiyuan immediately replied:

"The case of Chen Xiaoya was found to be baseless and constituted a false accusation. She was immediately released without charge."

Chen Xiaoya was locked in the detention cell, and all she could do was hug her scars and sob.

She really doesn't seem like a typical witch; she's more like an ordinary college girl.

When she saw Zhang Lingyun, she disregarded her status as his cousin and threw herself into his arms.

Zhang Lingyun stroked her long hair and comforted her:

"It's all over now."

Seeing the burn marks on Chen Xiaoya's arm, Zhang Lingyun also felt a pang of heartache.

Ding Shuangshuang handed him a [Healing Card], which was specifically used to deal with elemental damage.

Zhang Lingyun infused [Magic Power].

It was gently applied to Chen Xiaoya's scar, and in the blink of an eye, it smoothed out the skin.

Zhang Lingyun brought her cousin to the reception room to rest.

A moment later, Lin Zhiyuan walked in with a smile and returned all of Chen Xiaoya's things to her.

Chen Xiaoya was like a frightened bird; she was still a little nervous when she saw the middle-aged security guard.

But seeing the other person chatting and laughing with his cousin, he gradually lowered his guard.

At the same time, she also gained a deeper understanding of Zhang Lingyun.

Chen Xiaoya turned on her phone and saw a series of missed calls, all from her mother.

Chen Xiaoya quickly called back.

Chen's mother's worried face immediately appeared on the screen.

Before they could even speak, they started crying.

Zhang Lingyun stood up, wanting to give them some space.

But Chen's mother has sharp eyes and immediately spotted the handsome boy next to her.

"Is that Zhang Lingyun? I'm your aunt."

Zhang Lingyun had no choice but to turn around again.

With the same awkward yet polite expression I'd get when encountering unfamiliar aunts and uncles during my annual trips back to my hometown, I greeted them:

Hello, Auntie.

"Alright, alright, Lingyun, you've grown up so much. Do you remember when you were little? You and Xiaoya used to sleep together all the time."

Zhang Lingyun rolled her eyes.

He genuinely doesn't remember this; it must have happened before kindergarten.

Chen Xiaoya was also a little embarrassed and shyly called out "Mom":

"Let's not talk about the past."

Ding Shuangshuang watched coldly from behind the door.

Sensing that the atmosphere might escalate, she quickly walked over to Zhang Lingyun and tried to take his hand.

However, Zhang Lingyun instinctively dodged, which annoyed Ding Shuangshuang.

However, her appearance did stop Chen's mother from talking.

After carefully examining the girl, Chen's mother felt that she was indeed a formidable rival to her daughter.

Chen Xiaoya sighed and said:

"Thanks to my cousin's help, I suffered less."

Mrs. Chen nodded repeatedly and said:

"Then you should thank your cousin properly."

Chen Xiaoya then wiped away her tears:

"I understand. But my interview is over."

Mrs. Chen was also flustered.

After all, this is the result of my daughter's four years of hard work.

Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment and said:

"This is a special case, and there might still be room for salvage. I'll ask someone to inquire for you."

Zhang Lingyun turned around and made a phone call to Lan Ruoxi.
