Ren Ruoruo eventually found a drone and deposited the Battle Angel with the help of Wang Wen.
At the same time, the effect on her body vanished.
It was as if the link between her and the item had been severed.
That could be considered Wang Wen’s trick.
It was first used in his previous life to deal with certain items that had long-term effects.
He cleverly used the deposit to sever the effect of the relic.
He did not expect that the first time he used that technique in his new life was to cut off a positive effect.
The reason was that the user of the item felt that the effect was too flamboyant.
Wang Wen’s emotions were also mixed.
Under Ren Ruoruo’s urging, the three quickly left that place.
He had yet to walk out of the crowd.
A pretty figure flew in front of Wang Wen like a swallow.
Cheng Qiaoyi smiled and shouted, “Senior! Senior!”
Wang Wen nodded and led the group to the school’s teleportation gate while pretending to scold Cheng Qiaoyi, saying, “I already told you in the text message that I’m safe. Why did you come all the way here? It’s the middle of the night. If you don’t sleep, you might get wrinkles.”
Cheng Qiaoyi was happy to see him, so she did not hear him. She grabbed his clothes and said, “Senior, I’ve reached the requirement you stated on the paper. I can go with you the next time you enter the tower!”
Wang Wen was helpless in the face of Cheng Qiaoyi, who had become like that in that life.
He could only let her pull on the corner of his shirt and say whatever she wanted.
When he responded indifferently, the woman smiled sweetly as if she had drunk honey.
Seeing Cheng Qiaoyi like that…
Everything seemed to be fine to Wang Wen.
Cheng Qiaoyi was lively, confident, beautiful, and generous.
At the very least, it was better than if she were depressed, introverted, cold, in pain, and had a penchant for suicide.
At the very least, he could always see her smile.
Instead of responding to her questions with answers that were as sharp as a knife…
The two of them talked and laughed, looking like a couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman, without the slightest consideration for the feelings of others.
Ren Ruoruo, for example, who was walking alongside Zhu Xingguo…
Her tone was bitter and helpless as she observed the beautiful and cheerful woman in front of her and the captain acting like intimate lovers. “In the end, I was defeated by youth.”
Zhu Xingguo looked at her.
“I think mature girls are more attractive; young girls don’t know anything. They only know how to make trouble,” he suddenly said in a strange tone.
Ren Ruoruo’s eyes lit up when she heard that.
She turned around and looked at Zhu Xingguo, who seemed to be in a daze.
Her mood improved.
“Dumbo.” She could not help but smile, making her look charming.
The four of them split into two groups.
They left the World Tower.
When they arrived at the portal…
Someone suddenly called out to Wang Wen.
“Manager Liu?” Cheng Qiaoyi looked at him strangely. “You’re here to pick someone up?”
“Ah? That’s right,” Xiao Liu, who had gone there after leaving the Cheng family’s house, said. He was still panting.
“I did not expect to run into you guys,” he said, calming his breathing as he glanced at Cheng Qiaoyi. He smiled at Wang Wen and said, “Hello, Wang Wen. Director Cheng has a few words for you.”
He noticed Cheng Qiaoyi’s suspicious eyes.
“It’s about the previous incident with the Regional Security Department,” he explained after some thought. “Is it convenient to talk in private?”
“The Regional Security Department?”
Wang Wen turned to Cheng Qiaoyi and asked, “Is this your friend?”

Xiao Liu realized that the other party’s first sentence was not to answer him and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He adjusted his glasses and rubbed the corners of his mouth as he stood at the side and smiled politely.
Cheng Qiaoyi shook her head. “Manager Liu is my father’s colleague. He comes to our house occasionally to talk about work. We’ve become familiar with each other after that.”
Wang Wen had a rough idea of the other party’s identity.
Xiao Yi was too kind.
She even used such a nice word as a colleague.
Was that not her father’s lackey?
He chuckled to himself.
Wang Wen reached out his hand to Xiao Liu in an approachable manner and said with a friendly smile, “Hello, Manager Liu. I have friends with me today, so please forgive me for not being able to speak to you in private. Why don’t you have a meal with us, and we can talk then?”
The cold wind seemed to have blown the smile off Xiao Liu’s face.
His muscles were also frozen in place.
Director Cheng had instructed him to be tactful, but Cheng Qiaoyi was next to him; how could he say those words in front of her?
So he forced a smile and shook Wang Wen’s hand. “Very well. I’m hungry too. I’ll toast to welcome you out of the tower.”
As he spoke…
Wang Wen grabbed his hand, which he had intended to pull away after a symbolic handshake.
He looked at Xiao Liu with a faint smile and said, “That’s not right. If you’re going to eat with us, what about the people you’re supposed to pick up? Why don’t we ask them to join us? It’s more lively with more people. Everyone just came out of the tower, so we’d have something to chat about!”
Xiao Liu’s facial muscles froze again.
Wang Wen shook his head.
How could such a person have a connection to the company’s big boss?
No wonder he did not see it in his previous life.
He had probably been fired when he and Xiao Yi formed a team.
Compared to the relaxed and happy feeling in Wang Wen’s heart…
Xiao Liu was already cursing in his heart.
He was not there for any friend?—that trip was explicitly made for Wang Wen.
His mouth twitched as he realized that an unintentional lie had to be rounded up with more lies. He said, “It is fine. I have many friends. They can come and get me. I should start with Director Cheng’s instructions. After all, as a company employee, work should be my top priority.”
Those words were spoken with a certain caliber.
He not only solved the problem, but he also demonstrated his devotion to his boss.
He appeared to have the ability to be the boss’ follower.
Wang Wen smiled as he let go of Xiao Liu’s hand. He stopped tormenting him and led everyone into the portal.
Light swirled before his eyes.
Just as his feet touched the ground…
He saw a group of people appear in front of him.
They were rushing around with a pile of items and had no idea how to put them in a bag, like a bunch of idiots.
When Jiang Dali saw Wang Wen, he was the first to greet him. “Little Teacher Wang! Congratulations on getting out of the tower safely. We’re here to welcome you back!”
Puzzled, Wang Wen walked up and looked at the bottles and jars in Jiang Dali’s and the others’ hands. He asked, “Is this a welcoming reception or a wedding? Why does it feel like you’re proposing a betrothal gift to marry me?”
Deputy Chief Jiang, who was the only one left empty-handed, laughed.
Ignoring Wang Wen’s nonsense, he patted his arm and said, “Xiao Wang, I haven’t seen you in a while! That’s good! You still have all your limbs! You must be starving after leaving the tower, right? Hot pot or barbeque? Let’s go, my treat!”
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo looked at each other.
The two’s eyes twinkled.
Ever since they used world energy to strengthen their body, they were very familiar with the aura of the same world energy.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not detect any trace of world energy in that person.
That made the two of them somewhat puzzled.
Zhu Xingguo leaned over and asked Wang Wen in a low voice, “Master, is that the Captain Lu you’ve spoken of? The First Consortium’s elite?”
