Chapter 228: Start the plan
"You finally came." Zhou Yuan grinned.
The woman sat on one of the chairs and opened her smartphone.
Zhou Yuan looked at her from a distance.
She was wearing luxurious clothes and a little closed. At least she's not showing her cleavage.
Even without it, she looks gorgeous. With just one look, you can feel the aura of a classy woman.
Zhou Yuan naturally knew who that woman was. She was Qin Yunlan and her identity was extraordinary.
Zhou Yuan gulped a cocktail and finished it. After that, he stood up and approached the bartender again.
................
Meanwhile, Qin Yunlan, who was chatting with her friend, suddenly felt a vibration on the table.
She looked ahead and saw Zhou Yuan sitting in front of her and carrying two glasses of soju.
"This is for you." Zhou Yuan said with a smile as he shifted the glass of soju.
"What for?" Qin Yunlan asked indifferently.
"I know you like soju. And maybe we can talk about something." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qin Yunlan narrowed her eyes. But she took the glass and drank it.
"Ahh."
Qin Yunlan sighed in satisfaction. She really likes Soju.
"This soju is very good, now, you can go." Qin Yunlan said lightly.
"Why don't we talk first? I just happen to have something to talk to you about." Zhou Yuan said.
But Qin Yunlan ignored him and took another sip of the soju instead.
"Like your brother."
Zhou Yuan's words surprised Qin Yunlan and she immediately placed the glass on the table.
"What do you mean?" Qin Yunlan frowned and asked.
"Now, can we talk more seriously?" Zhou Yuan smiled.
"I will listen to you." Qin Yunlan nodded.
"Good." Zhou Yuan smiled.
.............
"So what do you mean by my brother? Do you know anything about him?" Qin Yunlan asked curiously.
"Before that, let's make an agreement." Zhou Yuan smiled and said.
"What agreement?" Qin Yunlan frowned.
Zhou Yuan's expression became serious in an instant.
"Do you know anything about stones from heaven?" Zhou Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Qin Yunlan was shocked. Stones from heaven, she did not expect to hear those words here.
"I do not know what you are talking about." Qin Yunlan dodged.
"Come on, you don't have to pretend. Come make an agreement with me, I will help you free your brother as long as you give me the key of 10 colors." Zhou Yuan said with a smirk.
Hearing this, her suspicions of Zhou Yuan increased. She also became alert at the same time.
Stones from heaven…. She had heard about the function of those stones, but she felt that they were just a fairy tale.
But one day, she had to accept the fact that it wasn't a fairy tale.
"I can't accept that agreement." Qin Yunlan said decisively.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan let out a disappointed sigh. Qin Yunlan was exactly the same as in the future memories.
Qin Yunlan is cold and strict, but she harbors a big secret and an extraordinary identity.
"Okay, how about I give you some news? I'm sure you won't be able to avoid it." Zhou Yuan said confidently.
"No matter what you offer, I won't..."
"Your mother is still alive."
Zhou Yuan's words made Qin Yunlan stop.
Her expression froze in an instant and there was obvious shock on her face.
"W-what did you say?" Qin Yunlan stuttered and tried to confirm Zhou Yuan's words.
"You might think I'm just boasting, but I'm speaking facts. Your mother is still alive." Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice.
Qin Yunlan's heart beat faster at this moment when she heard something about her mother.
Then, her finger moved and touched Zhou Yuan's forehead swiftly. It can be seen that there is white energy entering Zhou Yuan's forehead.
Qin Yunlan smiled with an impatient expression.
"What do you know about my mother, my mother and how did you know that? Also, tell me why you are aiming for a key of 10 colors." Qin Yunlan immediately said.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan smiled Instead.
"That won't work on me."
"W-what?!" Qin Yunlan was shocked.
"Trying to brainwash me? You should study soul techniques to know how strong one's soul is." Zhou Yuan said with a grin.
"That's impossible, you should have answered my question." Qin Yunlan said in disbelief.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan smiled and suddenly touched Qin Yunlan's forehead. His speed was so fast that it was faster than the blink of an eye.
It can be seen that there is a purple energy entering her forehead.
Qin Yunlan suddenly felt an explosion inside her head, it was so painful that she clutched her head and groaned.
"Aaaagh!" Qin Yunlan screamed in pain as she clutched her head.
"You can scream as loud as you can because I've installed a silence rune. Just the two of us." Zhou Yuan said with a grin.
"Y-you!"
Qin Yunlan did not expect this. She indeed intended to shout to attract the attention of others and drive Zhou Yuan out of here.
But Zhou Yuan was too smart. And what's with the silence rune?
She looked around and realized that no one was paying attention to her or Zhou Yuan.
"As I thought, I can't brainwash you. So, we can only exchange information." Zhou Yuan said lightly.
"S-stop this!" Qin Yunlan said in dismay as she held Zhou Yuan's hand.
"I can make the pain go away as long as you agree to the agreement." Zhou Yuan said.
"I-I agree." Qin Yunlan immediately said.
"Good." Zhou Yuan smiled.
After that, he snapped his fingers and at the same time, Qin Yunlan felt that the pain in her head had disappeared.
"Let's have a good chat." Zhou Yuan smiled and took a sip of the soju.
Qin Yunlan felt forced. But she had no choice, the pain in her head was truly excruciating.
"As I said before, I will accept the agreement. Now, tell me everything you know about my brother and my mother." Qin Yunlan immediately said.
"Well, you already know that your brother is still alive, currently he is locked up in the imperial prison. But, what you don't know is that your brother will die." Zhou Yuan said as he crossed his arms.
"What? Dead?!" Qin Yunlan was shocked when he heard this.
"You're not kidding me, are you?" Qin Yunlan asked to confirm.
"What would I lie to you for? Your brother will soon be beheaded and his head will go into the imperial slaughter room." Zhou Yuan said lightly.
"No way. My little brother?!" Qin Yunlan said in disbelief.
She didn't know what to do. Her brother committed such a grave mistake that he had to be tried by the imperial court.
There is no guarantee her brother will be free. Even now she is still trying to get her brother out of prison.
But now, she heard the news that her brother was going to be beheaded…. She was really at a loss as to what he should do.
Breaking into the prison area? It is suicide.
However, there was hope that sitting in front of her at this moment.
"How did you know that?" He chose to ask again to be sure.
"With the pain in your head earlier, do you still doubt me?" Zhou Yuan said indifferently as he crossed his arms.
Qin Yunlan suddenly remembered that pain. She didn't want to feel it anymore.
"It seems I have no other choice but to believe you."
Despite her doubts, she had no other choice but to trust Zhou Yuan.
"You won't regret partnering with me." Zhou Yuan smiled.
"I hope so." Qin Yunlan sighed.
................
Zhou Yuan talked things over with Qin Yunlan. He explained in detail his plans and what they would do in the future.
He also explained why and how Qin Yunlan's mother was still alive.
And hearing Zhou Yuan's explanation, Qin Yunlan no longer doubted it.
She felt that every word Zhou Yuan said was a plausible fact.
She indeed has a secret. She is not from this world.
It was because of an ancient object that made her, her mother, and her brother go to this lower world.
And in this world, her powers were sealed which made her unable to unleash her full strength.
"So is what you said true? We can save my brother?" Qin Yunlan asked impatiently.
"We can. But I need your help. As I explained before, the plan will work." Zhou Yuan nodded and said confidently.
"Then let's do it! I couldn't calm down when I heard my brother was going to be beheaded." Qin Yunlan said impatiently.
"First of all, let's go to the imperial area." Zhou Yuan said.
"Does not matter." Qin Yunlan said.
Then, she closed her eyes as she held Zhou Yuan's hand.
The next second, they disappeared.
No one noticed this. It was none other than Zhou Yuan setting up an aura concealment chamber, so no one would even notice they had disappeared.
.............
Meanwhile, 100 meters from the imperial gate, Zhou Yuan and Qin Yunlan were standing.
"Teleportation.... I've always wanted that power." Zhou Yuan said as he stroked his chin.
From Shanghai to the Tianqin capital in the blink of an eye, teleportation is a very useful kind of power.
"Let's start your plan."
