"Numbered Protection Zone," Zhang Yinlin said in a deep voice.
It sounded familiar to Yelai. After a moment of reflection, he recalled that when Zhenxue was invited to the Numbered Protection Zone, one of the invitees was from the Li Family. What was their name again?
He remembered—Li Yanming.
He vividly recalled the events from three years ago, particularly the incident that had occurred. Back then, Luo Zhenxue had begun to emerge, gaining recognition from several Safe Zones that sent invitations to her. Yelai had participated in these invitations through his relationship with Luo Zhenxue and had impressions of all the invitees.
Li Yanming was one of the invitees from the Numbered Protection Zone.
"I thought it would be that guy who invited her," Yelai mused, stroking his chin. "I remember he admired Luo Xue and openly expressed his feelings for Zhenxue in front of me, which was quite humiliating."
To his surprise, it wasn't Luo Xue's admirer who had caused him trouble; it was Li Yanming's family that had harmed him. Whether Li Yanming herself was directly responsible remained unclear.
It made sense; at that time, Zhenxue lacked the power to challenge a Sequencer with a family background. By the time she gained strength, he would likely have been dead for some time, and any evidence would have long been destroyed.
Yelai felt a sense of melancholy as he spoke.
Whether before or after the apocalypse, there remained a stark divide between the rich and the poor in this world. The probability of ordinary people encountering a red Sequence Key was far lower than that of wealthy and powerful individuals.
Zhang Yinlin did not notice Yelai's sentimentality. She was cautious throughout their conversation, frequently checking for eavesdroppers.
"You are right," she replied. "Over these past three years, it has become increasingly difficult to investigate. Evidence and clues have been nearly erased."
"The only thing we can confirm now is the involvement of the Li Family, but we don't know if it's Li Yanming specifically. Based on Zhenxue's investigations over these three years, we need to find out which faction they belong to and why they harmed you. You can't remain in the dark about your death three years ago."
Zhang Yinlin paused for a moment before patting Yelai on the shoulder.
"Until we figure things out, Yelai, you should stay with me in the Safe Zone. With me around, the Li Family won't be able to harm you. Your family’s Zhenxue is in a tough spot right now, and if the Li Family sends anyone over, she will definitely know."
"You don't need to worry about me. Don't underestimate me just because I've been in kindergarten for three years, Yinlin."
"I’m officially a Rank【Two】, but my actual Rank has reached【Four】."
"Wow, Yinlin, you've actually reached Rank【Four】!" Yelai exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.
Three years ago, Luo Zhenxue was the center of attention not only because of the【Crimson Key】 but also because she achieved a Rank of【Three】 in just two years during the End of the Sequence. Now, Zhang Yinlin has surpassed the height that Luo Zhenxue reached three years ago. With her current strength, she is more than capable of serving as a captain in the Safe Zone.
"No wonder Zhenxue wanted you to protect me."
"Of course! Looking at it this way, I might have put you in danger, Yinlin. Without me, with your current strength, you could thrive anywhere in the Safe Zone. You could even be a captain here."
"Don't say that! It was you and Zhenxue who saved my life back then. Without your help, I would have been dead. Now I'm just repaying that debt," Zhang Yinlin said solemnly as she patted Yelai.
"Rest assured, with me here, I won’t let anything happen to you in the Safe Zone. You should move in with me from now on so I can protect you at all times."
"Wow, is it really that exciting? Coming back after three years and living with my girlfriend's best friend?" Yelai feigned surprise.
"Are you being cheeky? I'm older than you; there's nothing inappropriate about it," Zhang Yinlin laughed as she scolded him.
"Well, you're only a year older than me. You sound like an old lady," he teased.
"Alright, enough joking around. You don’t need to protect me; I can take care of myself. Besides, I’d rather go home than live with you," Yelai said, referring to his home.
That was the place he shared with Luo Zhenxue in the Safe Zone.
Zhang Yinlin shook her head.
