Chapter 253 Meeting

The night bus was still driving slowly on the interstate highway. The only people who hadn't fallen asleep in the car were probably Chen Ke and the driver.

It might be because the temperature dropped suddenly at night and it became a little colder. Shreli squeezed into Chen Ke's arms, wrapped her shirt tightly, leaned her head on Chen Ke's chest, and uttered a few sleepy words.

Chen Ke froze in his position and didn't move. He helped her up and felt the vibration coming from Shreli's body.

"Huh? Why does this girl vibrate?" Chen Ke was stunned. He felt that the vibration was quite regular and came from the right half of Shreli's body.

It was a mobile phone.

Chen Ke's right hand went around Shreli's head, hugged her, fumbled in her right shirt pocket, and took out Shreli's iPhone.

The caller nickname on the screen showed "Dad".

Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at the phone in his hand, not knowing whether to answer it. He wanted to wake Shreli up and let her make a call, but after thinking about it, he answered it himself.

"Beep..."

"Hey, little guy... where are you?" Pan Jiya's voice came from the other side.

Chen Ke was very familiar with his voice. Even if they had only been on the phone for two times, Chen Ke would not forget this voice.

"Mr. Blueberry." Chen Ke replied.

The other side was silent for a while. Chen Ke could feel the almost out-of-control emotions of the other side through the phone.

"Lin Mo... what did you do to her...?" Pan Jiya trembled.

"I didn't do anything to her... you should be referring to Shriley, right...?" Chen Ke said.

"Lin Mo, I don't know how you found her... but I swear, if you dare to touch her... I will definitely..." Pan Jiya roared on the other side of the phone.

Chen Ke turned down the volume of the phone by half.

"You can't do anything now, Pan Jiya, the consortium has abandoned you." Chen Ke laughed.

"I..." Pan Jiya was speechless.

"I'm sorry that your ending will be like this." Chen Ke said.

"How is Shriley now... Lin Mo, tell me, she is safe." Pan Jiya said.

"I'm surprised that you care about her so much." Chen Ke said sarcastically.

"Are you questioning my feelings for my daughter? You are just a killer without feelings, what do you know!?" Pan Jiya scolded.

"If it was true as you said, your daughter would not have been found by the killer. Haven't you been leaking her whereabouts and distracting the killer's attention?" Chen Ke questioned.

"I don't know who told you that, but I swear I didn't. Tell me, Lin Mo, what did the killer do to her? Is she injured?" Pan Jiya asked.

"She is safe, you should take care of yourself." Chen Ke said.

"Lin Mo, let's put aside the grudges first... bring her to me... I will take her away from this country, and we will never meet again..." Pan Jiya's voice was filled with a request.

"I can't believe you, Pan Jiya, you have too many lives on your hands... I have no reason to help you." Chen Ke flatly refused.

"Lin Mo... do me this favor, and I will tell you everything you want to know..." Pan Jiya said.

Chen Ke hesitated.

"I know you have a lot of questions, and I am convinced that I will have the answers... I am the former chairman of the Si Group... you know..." Pan Jiya said.

Chen Ke pursed his lips and frowned. All doubts finally waited for the day when the ultimate answer came...

"Convince me, let me believe you. Quick!" Chen Ke said coldly.

"You are not Lin Mo, right? There are more than one person who has traveled through time." Pan Jiya said in a gloomy tone.

A drop of sweat slid down Chen Ke's forehead.

The night bus stopped at the side of the road. Chen Ke put the gun into the holster. Shreli and the others followed Chen Ke to get off the bus and stood on the street again in the cold wind.

No one knew why Chen Ke suddenly decided to get off the bus, and Shreli was even more confused about why he was holding his mobile phone.

Chen Ke did not explain much. Pan Jiya told Chen Ke where he was on the phone. He still stayed in Opportunity City, hiding in an apartment in the Rolling Iron District.

After some twists and turns, Chen Ke and the others finally got a ride back to Opportunity City and came to Pan Jiya's hiding place.

Fortunately, the killers of the consortium did not appear again, and they were lucky all the way. In order to avoid unnecessary danger and guard against traps set by the other party, Chen Ke asked Louis and Lamar to take Shreli to wait temporarily in the 24-hour coffee shop.

He wanted to meet Pankia alone.

After Shreli knew that her father called, she complained that Chen Ke did not wake her up, but answered the phone privately. And insisted on going to see Pankia with Chen Ke.

But Chen Ke still refused her.

On the one hand, it was to prevent Pankia from setting traps. He did not want to protect Shreli while fighting.

On the other hand, if Shreli was handed over to Pankia first, whether he would answer his questions again or tell the truth would become a problem.

Chen Ke assured Shreli that if the situation was normal, he would call Shreli to come over, and then he persuaded Shreli to stay.

This apartment is very shabby, with only 5 floors in total. The dark corridor is damp and dirty, and there are graffiti on the walls. It is hard to imagine that the chairman of a large consortium would hide here.

Chen Ke came to the third floor, knocked on the door of an apartment, and waited.

Under the spiritual vision, no humanoid creature could hide, it seemed that Pankia was not playing tricks.

There were footsteps coming from the door, and Chen Ke suddenly became nervous. This was his first time meeting Pan Jiya. What would he do...?

The door opened a crack, and a man in his 50s looked at Chen Ke through the crack.

In Chen Ke's field of vision, the outline of his body hidden behind the door was clearly visible, with a sawed-off shotgun in his right hand.

"Pan... Jiya?" Chen Ke said, he had never seen Pan Jiya's true face.

"Where is she?" Pan Jiya asked.

"Nearby." Chen Ke said.

Pan Jiya knew the killer's style, so he didn't waste any words, opened the door, and let Chen Ke in.

When Chen Ke walked into the house, Pan Jiya immediately locked the door and pointed a gun at Chen Ke.

"+3 minutes"

"+3 minutes"

"+3 minutes"

"+3 minutes"

...

Chen Ke sighed. It seemed that Pan Jiya was not a psychic and did not have killer skills, otherwise the threat level would not be so low.

"If I want to kill you, I don't have to wait for you to open the door." Chen Ke smiled and pulled out a chair from the side and sat down.

Pan Jiya also sighed and slowly put down the shotgun.

He was wearing a wrinkled suit and looked like he hadn't washed for several days. Chen Ke didn't know how Pan Jiya fell from the top of the consortium, but he suspected that things were not that simple.

"So, what's your name now?" Pan Jiya sat opposite Chen Ke and put the shotgun on the table.

"Call me Chen Ke." Chen Ke replied.

"Very good... Chen Ke, what year are you from?" Pan Jiya asked straight to the point.

Chen Ke was silent for a few seconds. This man who looked down and out in front of him had actually been involved in such a deep level...?
