Chapter 281: Chapter 264: Going abroad, take off!
Lin Yun was somewhat surprised by his smooth exit from Qingyun Hotel.
With the urgent turn of events, he had no idea how much force the Lu and Mie families had amassed in the vicinity.
But seeing the power the Lu and Mie families had wielded within Qingyun Hotel, Lin Yun had guessed that their forces around the area weren't weak either.
However, his success in leaving Qingyun Hotel unscathed came as somewhat of a relief.
Lin Yun had installed surveillance in all vehicles. Seeing the staff of Qingyun Hotel depart from their vehicles, melting effortlessly into the crowd, he felt a sense of relief.
"We should be safe here. Once I park, you all should disembark. I'll deposit one million into each of your salary cards. Consider relocating and taking a break-- you've earned it. I will send a contact number to each of your phones. If any eventuality arises in the future, and you're unable to resolve them, do not hesitate to call this number, regardless of what it is.
I promise to help as best as I can," Lin Yun said, addressing the women in the vehicle, sighing slightly in the process.
"Boss… Qingqing…"
Being creatures of sentiment, the women were visibly moved upon hearing his words. Their voices choked with emotion as they conveyed the melancholy they felt.
Although they had been in great danger, they had come to no harm, thanks in large part to Lin Yun. Knowing that their safety was due to Lin Yun, their gratitude towards him was overly apparent.
Surviving such a calamity, along with the constant assistance from the person who saved them, provoked strong feelings of gratitude and made them even more emotional. Moreover, Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing's treatment of them had always been exemplary, overflowing with kindness.
Guests of Qingyun Hotel were generally affluent, and though most behaved well, there were always a few who were overly arrogant. But, the hotel security always stood by them and occasionally intervened on their behalf— something impeccably arranged by their boss, Lin Yun, which was not a usual practice for most hotel owners.
Although their tenure at Qingyun Hotel was brief, it brought them a sense of warmth akin to home.
Now, as Lin Yun made such a substantial promise and provided a hefty compensation, how could they possibly not be overwhelmed?
His actions transcended any obligation, responsibility, or duty an employer owed to their employees—he had gone above and beyond.
"Let's not be sad. Once things settle down, we will meet again sometime…" Xia Qingqing, noticing the reactions of the women, felt a touch of sadness herself. She consoled them, patting the back of one woman.
Compared to the women, Xia Qingqing had fared better and had been comforting a particularly frightened staff since the incident began.
"Whimpering—"
On hearing Xia Qingqing's words, one woman burst into even heavier sobs, and the others became more upset.
They weren't naive. They understood the magnitude of the incident perfectly well. This parting could very possibly mean they may never see Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing again.
"Sir, Qingqing, can we…still work under your influence?" As the speed of the vehicle decreased, one woman mustered up the courage to ask.
Xia Qingqing looked towards Lin Yun. She was equally clueless about this matter.
"If you wish to continue working under Qingqing and me, you'll be able to do so in a few months, or perhaps a year. Consider this period a holiday and rest well…" Lin Yun said, looking out at the crowd before him.
With the advancement of the Cosmic Trading System, he had faith that there would be earth-shattering changes in a few months or a year.
"Screeech—"
Just then, Lin Yun brought the vehicle to a halt.
"You should leave now!" Lin Yun turned and spoke to the women.
The women nodded, aware of the urgency of the situation, and hurriedly exited the vehicle.
Following them merge into the crowd unscathed, Lin Yun signaled Lin Yi to accelerate and quickly leave the area.
Given that many owners of the Cosmic Trading System initially need to conceal their abilities, many technological gadgets in the system possess transformative abilities.
Like the vehicle Lin Yun was using, for instance, which could morph into several other vehicles.
As the vehicle accelerated and decelerated, its appearance underwent subtle changes, eventually looking entirely different from before. Lin Yun believed that even the Lu Family and Mie Family, with all their capabilities, would have a hard time identifying this car.
The car was heading towards the sea.
Lin Yun planned to leave the country via the coast.
Yes, leave the country.
Lin Yun didn't intend to stay in Huaxia anymore.
Prosperity was an uphill battle here, and besides, he didn't wish to stir up any more controversy in his homeland.
A few days ago, he had sent Zhao Gang and a couple of robots to set up their base in a foreign land. He was about to join them and take care of some issues over there.
"Qingqing, there's something I haven't told you..." Lin Yun turned his head, looked at Xia Qingqing, and hesitated.
At this point, he had to let Xia Qingqing in on much of what was going on; otherwise, it would be too unjust to her, having her stumble upon one circumstance after another without any context.
"Brother, you don't need to say anything. Since you haven't disclosed these matters to me until now, it must be because they are inconvenient to talk about. Now, you don't need to discuss them..." Xia Qingqing covered Lin Yun's mouth with her hand, then rested her head on his chest and murmured.
Lin Yun was touched upon hearing Xia Qingqing's empathetic words.
Having Xia Qingqing as his girlfriend was, he felt, a tremendous stroke of luck.
"I've already arranged for someone to pick up your parents. In a while, we will be leaving the country. But don't worry, we will be back soon..." Lin Yun stroked Xia Qingqing's hair and said.
His initial plan was to visit Xia Qingqing's family after the New Year. However, he didn't want to draw attention to her family from multiple powers. When all this happened, he didn't forget about Xia Qingqing's family.
He had arranged for some robots to protect them in secret. On the way from Shen City to Immortal Origin County, they would pass close to Xia Qingqing's home. He had Lin Er, a robot with the strength of a Huajin Grandmaster, pick up Xia Qingqing's family when he drove by.
"What? Brother, you've already picked up my parents and brother…" Xia Qingqing was taken aback, then quickly understood.
She wasn't questioning Lin Yun's actions; she was just surprised at how fast he had acted. Moreover, this incident...hadn't affected her family, had it?
The law in Huaxia shouldn't involve her family, especially since they were her relatives.
"Those people have great power and can often slip the chains of the law. At the same time they made their move in Shen City, they also sent people to Immortal Origin County, where my folks live. They didn't go to your family's house, but I'm afraid they might do it sooner or later..." Lin Yun explained.
"What? They sent people to Immortal Origin County?" Xia Qingqing was quite shocked. Then, she felt fear and gratitude. She knew how powerful and terrifying those people could be. If they targeted her family, her parents and brother would be in extreme danger.
Xia Qingqing buried her head again in Lin Yun's chest and murmured, "Brother, thank you... for keeping my parents and brother in mind..."
As soon as the incident happened, Lin Yun had brought her family to safety. This indicated that Lin Yun had been paying attention to their safety and had them protected all along; otherwise, he couldn't have acted so swiftly.
"Silly girl, your parents and brother are as good as my own. There's no need for thanks." Lin Yun shook his head, speaking tenderly.
"Hum—"
The speed of the flying car was incredibly fast. In just a few minutes, they reached the seaside. The next moment, the flying car soared into the sky and reached an extreme speed.
Although the flying car, fueled by a hundred Spirit Crystals, couldn't match the speed of Lin Yun's invisible car powered by eight hundred Spirit Crystals, it could still reach top speeds of over 1,500 kilometers per hour.
This speed far exceeded that of most airplanes.
"Ah—"
Inside the flying car, Xia Qingqing first screamed, covering her eyes. Then, she released her hands from her face, wide-eyed and unable to believe the scene unfolding before her.
