Chapter 150: Southern Capital
Chapter 150: Southern Capital
The two continued their journey on Qi Zai's back, but their speed had significantly decreased.
"My trump card must have severely injured that cultist. Even if he didn't die, he's definitely badly wounded. After delaying for so long, and with the Law Enforcement Bureau and the Flying Boat Base's rescue team about to arrive, he won't dare to pursue us again," Wu You explained.
It was only after her explanation and the absence of any enemy sightings that Li Qian dared to ask Qi Zai to slow down.
After flying for a while, Wu You suddenly called out, stopping Li Qian in his tracks.
Li Qian knew that the rescue team must have contacted Wu You through the reactive metal exoskeleton she was wearing.
He decided to stop and quietly wait for the rescue.
Just then, Li Qian heard Wu You suddenly groan in pain, and in the moment of surprise that followed, she retracted her limp wings back into her body.
Li Qian was curious and wanted to turn around to see, but when he did, he only saw the healed reactive metal exoskeleton.
"Don't tell anyone about this," Wu You said coldly after retracting her wings, warning Li Qian.
Li Qian pointed to Wu You's back and asked, "You mean the wings...?"
Seeing the shocked look on her face, he quickly corrected himself, "I mean the wings! Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret!"
As he spoke, he made a zipping motion with his hand as if closing a zipper.
Just then, several cloud cars flew by at high speed.
The car doors opened, and several officials in Law Enforcement Bureau uniforms approached cautiously, scanning the surroundings for potential dangers while moving swiftly.
As soon as they reached Li Qian, they inquired about the situation. Upon learning that Li Qian was unharmed but Wu You was severely injured, they wasted no time and immediately carried her onto a cloud car.
The cloud car roared, and in the blink of an eye, it had left the scene, presumably heading to a medical facility. Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax after the tense situation. Whether or not they would be discovered later was a concern for another time. Perhaps he would already be gone by then, never to see Wu You again.
Not long after Wu You was taken to the hospital, Li Qian boarded a cloud car with a Law Enforcement Bureau officer and departed.
The cloud car sped through the sky, and before long, they arrived above the Southern Capital.
This was Li Qian's first time in the Southern Capital, and it was quite an unusual experience to arrive by cloud car.
The Southern Capital lived up to its reputation as one of the renowned special-grade cities in the Dongxia Federation and the home of the Jiangnan Beast Taming University.
Even compared to a third-tier city like Ling Shui City, or a first-tier city like Yunlan City, its scale and prosperity were unmatched.
From high above, one could only see a portion of the Southern Capital. The city bustled with traffic and buildings that resembled matchboxes, countless in number.
"Is this your first time in the Southern Capital?" a round-faced officer in the cloud car asked Li Qian, noticing his curious gaze.
Li Qian nodded, "Yes, even though I'm from Jiangnan Province, I rarely leave home. This is indeed my first time in the Southern Capital."
"All passengers from your flight will be stopping in the Southern Capital. If you're not in a hurry, you can take some time to explore the city. But if you're pressed for time, then it's best to move on."
"The round-faced officer continued to speak."
His words immediately reminded Li Qian, who hesitantly asked, "Officer, I'd like to ask, how is the Flying Ship Company handling this matter?"
The round-faced officer smiled and clarified for Li Qian, "The Flying Ship Company has already sent a notification, and you should have received it on your phone."
"You probably haven't had a chance to check it yet." Seeing Li Qian reaching for his phone, the officer didn't keep him in suspense but directly revealed the outcome, "According to the Flying Ship Company's arrangement, they have offered two compensation options."
"The first is a refund or a free flight on their company's flying ship within seven days to continue to the destination of this trip."
"The second option is a compensation of 8,000 federal dollars."
Li Qian nodded slightly after hearing these two solutions, finding the Flying Ship Company's approach quite reasonable.
After all, in this attack incident, strictly speaking, they were also victims of an unexpected disaster.
The hidden Black God Sect cultist's primary target was Wu You, and to be precise, they were all indirectly involved.
However, this depends on the perspective. If we consider it from the perspective of ensuring passenger safety, it was indeed a failure on the Flying Ship Company's part.
Regardless of whether Wu You had a special identity or if the Black God Sect's cultists were drawn by her, once they boarded the flying ship, the company had the obligation to protect their safety, regardless of whether this obligation was within their capabilities or not.
Li Qian took out his phone and started reading, soon noticing some discrepancies with the officer's statement.
The round-faced officer, seeing this, didn't stop but continued, "Additionally, to express gratitude for your courageous act of standing up to the evil-doer, the Flying Ship Company has offered a special reward. As for the amount, we are not aware of it."
At this moment, Li Qian also saw the reward—50,000 federal dollars. It was indeed an unexpected windfall.
When he rushed out earlier, he hadn't thought about it in this way, but the outcome left him quite satisfied.
The rollercoaster-like flying ship finally made a turn in the sky above Southern Capital and descended.
It landed in the parking lot of the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau.
Upon entering the bureau, they chatted for a while, made a record, and detailed the entire process of the incident. The young, round-faced officer then prepared to see Li Qian off.
Since he could fly to Zhonghai City for free within seven days, Li Qian wasn't in a hurry.
By chance, he had arrived in Southern Capital, also the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province.
As Li Qian was thinking this, he took a step forward, but before he could even exit the Public Security Bureau, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before him.
"Sister Xiwei!" Li Qian exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, the person who appeared before him was none other than Zhao Xiwei, with whom he had fought side by side before.
After the initial surprise, Li Qian quickly realized that she was a special envoy from the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau.
Her presence here was quite normal.
"Li Qian, I didn't expect that we would meet again," Zhao Xiwei said with a smile.
Li Qian also echoed with some sentiment, "Indeed, I thought I might come to Southern Capital, but I never imagined it would be under these circumstances. Fate is truly wondrous!"
