Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Look at these people now; they're unwilling to talk about things in society in order to complete their missions. Liu Ning could also see that this woman really liked Park Ji-dong, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten up before dawn to make breakfast. Although the Human Investigation Bureau had said they would give him a lot of autonomy in the early stages and wouldn't send anyone over, Liu Ning was still somewhat uneasy.
From their perspective, there's really no problem with that. However, Liu Ning wasn't willing to cooperate with them much. He knew what was going on with this department. Take the Park Ji-dong case, for example. As members of the Human Investigation Bureau, you naturally understand who's right and who's wrong, but you just stand by like spectators. No one from the higher-ups says a word, and no one from the lower-ups says a word either. If you had spoken up, Park Ji-dong's outcome would have been completely different. Look at these people now; they're unwilling to talk about things in society in order to complete their missions. In their view, these things have little to do with them. Even if they wanted to get involved, they'd have to leave it to the relevant departments. They wouldn't get involved in this matter themselves.
When the sun rose the next day, a cozy breakfast was already prepared at home. Compared to the breakfast Zhang Jing made, the variety here was noticeably less, and there was a lot of coarse grains in it. But Liu Ning still ate quite a bit. After all, it was the woman's good intention. All Liu Ning could do now was play the role of someone's husband well and let her enjoy this last moment. If he were to tell this woman that her husband was dead and that he was just an imposter who came here purely for this mission, it would be too cruel to her. Liu Ning could also see that this woman really liked Park Ji-dong, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten up before dawn to make breakfast. Now, things had turned out badly. She didn't even get to eat her last breakfast. This was because she didn't want to leave too many regrets.
"You should rest at home for a while. After dinner, I'll go out to look for work. I've made some friends while I was recuperating in Beijing. I'll be back in a few days. Stay home when you're free and don't contact me about these things. Something might happen at work, so I'll contact your daughter. Go see her often. If the doctor has any requests, agree to them for now. We'll have money when I get back. We absolutely can't delay your treatment. The child is still young, and there are bound to be many health issues. You just need to take care of her. Don't tell him yet. The child is easily agitated when I come back. The most important thing in the hospital is to recover. If he asks about me, just say there's nothing wrong before."
Liu Ning's lie was born of desperation, and it inevitably led to many other lies. Having already deceived Park Jin-dong's wife, he couldn't deceive their daughter as well. The child was still unaware of what was happening, so Liu Ning couldn't continue lying. Given the current situation, continuing to lie would be unfair to the family. Liu Ning understood that he might not return, and any assistance he offered would be under a different identity. Continuing with his current identity was unacceptable to both him and everyone else. The only solution was for Park Jin-dong to simply disappear, vanish after leaving home.
With the woman's expectant gaze in his eyes, Liu Ning left his house. When he reached the corridor, he noticed some people who had been talking hurriedly going home. They looked at him as if he were a venomous snake or a ferocious beast. Liu Ning understood what they meant. Firstly, they were afraid he would ask for money, because everyone had witnessed what happened yesterday. Liu Ning was their neighbor, and they had all served in the military. After leaving the military, they were doing quite well, at least having a stable income. If Liu Ning came to borrow money now, would they lend it to him or not?
If he didn't lend the money to Liu Ning, she might look a little unhappy, but if he did lend it out, when would she be able to pay it back? Judging from Liu Ning's expression, she probably wouldn't be able to find a job anytime soon, so lending out this money would be a high-risk investment, so he simply stopped talking to Liu Ning.
Another reason is rather disgusting: these people used to be clients of Park Ji-dong's wife. They all live in this area, and if something were to happen, it would be a real problem. How awkward would it be to talk about the past? So these people don't want to talk to Liu Ning. They'd rather just let things be. If they were to cut ties, that would actually be a good thing. If these things were brought up, it would be very embarrassing for everyone. In fact, these people are very indifferent. For them, there's no real benefit involved, so chatting is fine.
But if there are interests involved, then no one will be willing to speak. After walking out of this door, Liu Ning did not say a word to anyone. There are many job placement booths outside. There are a lot of people looking for jobs now, so a system has been formed. For these professional managers, what they like most is a large number of unemployed people.
When these unemployed people arrive here, that's when they make money. Others don't like a lot of unemployed people in society because it means the economic level might decline significantly. But these job brokers are different. If everyone had a job, where would they go to make money? Where would they go to eat? So, a lot of unemployed people are what they want, especially when these people see Park Ji-dong.
Liu Ning strolled slowly down the street, not thinking about which shop to enter. He was actually observing his surroundings, checking if anyone was following him. Although the Human Investigation Bureau had said they would give him a lot of autonomy in the early stages and wouldn't send anyone over, Liu Ning was still somewhat uneasy. If these people weren't skilled enough, they could easily be exposed on the street. Don't think the people from the Fusang Martial Arts School were joking; they definitely had their own agendas. If they came to investigate, it wouldn't be good for anyone. Because of this, Liu Ning wandered around the street several times, checking if anyone was following him. If someone was following him, it meant he absolutely couldn't do this; he had to hide.
After confirming that no one was following him, Liu Ning had to make his move.
