Chapter 333
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.
Although the man in the suit was smiling, it was obvious that he had to talk to Chen Ke alone. Chen Ke saw some danger in his eyes.
Could it be about the subway incident? How long has it been? Did Diana give herself up? Chen Ke's thoughts were surging.
"We are together. If you detain him, we will stay together." Laura said at this time.
"Then you'd better get off the car. It's a little late." The truck driver complained.
"You don't have to do this..." Chen Ke looked at Laura and Nathan.
"Come down, Mr. Chen, we just want to confirm some things." The man in the suit said.
At this time, his colleague ran over from the side and said something in his ear.
The man in the suit's face changed slightly, and he walked aside with his colleague and talked.
"What are they doing...? I'm going to ask, you are not people with bad backgrounds, right?" The truck driver asked in a low voice.
Laura shook her head and took out a hanging card from her bag. It was a teacher's qualification certificate from a domestic university.
"Oh, now I'm relieved. It seems that something must have gone wrong recently. The people in the Administration are so suspicious." The truck driver said.
After a while, the man in a suit came over with a smile. He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it seems that we had some misunderstandings just now... Well, you can go now."
Chen Ke looked at the man in a suit in confusion, but he didn't want to understand too much. If the Administration really wanted to make trouble for him, there would be many reasons, but unless Diana revealed her whereabouts, they probably didn't even know what she looked like.
"Have a good trip." The man in a suit handed Chen Ke's driver's license back to him, and then closed the door with a snap.
The P.W.A.T team also moved the roadblock away at this time, and the truck driver started the car and continued to drive towards Norton City.
Chen Ke has always been avoiding conflicts with the Administration. After all, as a national organization, it is very difficult to get along with them in this world, and he doesn't plan to fight and kill all his life and live in the dark world.
However, this sudden interception made him alert all of a sudden.
On the one hand, he was worried about whether his past actions were really seen through by the Administration.
On the other hand, he was suspicious of Diana. She was the only one in the Administration who knew that he had psychic powers and was familiar with his appearance.
But Chen Ke was very reluctant to doubt Diana. She was an upright and straightforward person. Lying and playing dirty tricks were not her style.
If Diana really wanted to catch him, why did she deliberately trick him into going to Norton City and then go to great lengths to set up checkpoints on the long-distance road?
The truck kept moving forward along the interstate highway, passing through large tracts of farms and fields. Blue harvesters were working in the fields, and groups of tumbleweeds were carried away by the hot wind.
The scenery on both sides gradually became prosperous as they went deeper inland. They continued to travel for several kilometers along a large river that served as an outlet to the sea, and the surrounding buildings gradually increased.
"This is the Monhattan area of Norton City. If you want to find a hotel, there are many nearby." The truck driver introduced.
The three of them were too embarrassed to continue sitting, so they asked the truck driver to stop at a gas station in the suburbs of Monhattan and let them off.
To express her gratitude, Laura wanted to pay 100 Union Coins as a reward for the ride, but was rejected by the truck driver.
"Let's go our separate ways here. We must all have our own things to deal with." Nathan said.
Standing at the intersection, the three of them said their final goodbyes and then set off on their own journeys. Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Chen Ke suddenly felt a little envious.
Laura was pursuing the ancient secrets of mankind, while Nathan was pursuing the previous treasures. What was he pursuing?
Was he just running around to extend his life? Chen Ke couldn't tell. It wasn't that he chose this path, but that fate found him.
As the capital of the United Federation, Norton City is far more prosperous than the depressed Opportunity City. Even if it is only in the suburbs of Monhattan, its commercial facilities and traffic far exceed the Lafite Road in Opportunity City, and Chen Ke noticed that those black box buildings are much less in this city.
Of course, Chen Ke didn't come here for sightseeing.
He quickly took out his cell phone and found that it only had 12% of its battery left. He had never charged the phone before... He would only charge it for half an hour when he plugged it in occasionally.
Since he traveled to this world and became a killer without emotions, Chen Ke found that he didn't even have time to lie in bed and play with his cell phone. The only fun he had was pulling the trigger...
Chen Ke found a coffee shop, pushed the door open, ordered a latte, and then sat down in a corner. He borrowed a charging cable from the waiter and plugged it into the charging port in the corner to charge.
"Beep... Beep..."
While he was on the phone, he used a spoon to stir the white painting on the latte into a pulp.
"Hurry up and answer the phone, Wang Ailin..." Chen Ke was a little anxious. When he was on the phone the day before yesterday, Wang Ailin's movements were very strange. He was now very worried that Wang Ailin would have an accident.
"Hello... who are you?" An Asian woman's voice came from the other side.
"Wang Ailin... are you home?" Chen Ke asked.
"I... who are you?" the woman asked.
"I'm... Chen Ke... Didn't you save my number?" Chen Ke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Oh! Oh! It's Chen Ke... I was in a hurry that day, so I didn't save it... Have you decided to come to Norton City to find me?" Wang Ailin asked.
"Actually, I'm in Monhattan now... By the way, you're also from Feihuang, right... Let's speak Feihuang language..." Chen Ke said.
"You're here?! Now! Very good... Very good... But my home is not in Monhattan, but in Queens, and I'm not at home now." Wang Ailin said.
"Ah... What a coincidence, do you mean I have to wait for you to get off work?" Chen Ke asked.
"Of course not! And you don't have to go to my house, just come to the Psychic Research Institute." Wang Ailin said.
"Psychic Research Institute, okay, I'll find a way to get there myself, but I don't think that kind of place will let anyone in casually, right?" Chen Ke asked.
"Of course, but I can send an invitation. As long as you have an invitation from an internal staff member, you can come in. At that time, you can just enter my number in the visitor center." Wang Ailin said.
"Okay, then we'll see you later." Chen Ke said.
"Well, by the way... Chen Ke, have you had any strange feelings these two days? For example, hallucinations... nosebleeds... or something like that?" Wang Ailin suddenly asked.
Chen Ke was silent for a while.
He did.
"Why are you asking this?" Chen Ke asked back.
"Nothing, I'll tell you when you come. I'm hanging up first." Wang Ailin said.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Ke suddenly shouted, and the other customers in the cafe looked at him in surprise.
"What?" Wang Ailin asked.
"You haven't told me your... research institute number yet." Chen Ke said.
"Oh! Oh! Wait a minute... Look, I almost forgot, my number is 0451. Remember it." Wang Ailin said.
"Remember it, bye." Chen Ke said.
After hanging up the phone, he wrote down the four numbers 0451 in the notepad of his mobile phone.
"Hmm... Why is this string of numbers so familiar..." Chen Ke muttered to himself, always feeling that he had seen it somewhere before.
