260 Tourists
Almost all the students of Jingyuan High School had been sent out by Chu Ning to complete various tasks. Only Xu Xi and Song Gui remained.
“Tell me, I’ll definitely try hard to complete it.” Song Gui knew that something that Chu Ning attached such importance to must not be simple. He was intelligent; Chu Ning’s actions connected together like pieces of a puzzle.
“It might be fine, but someone must be watching over it. You have to find the power supply switch for the high-altitude rides in this area and keep an eye on it. Don’t let anyone get close or destroy it, just in case. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” Chu Ning said in a serious tone.
“Understood. I have to ensure it’s working normally.” Song Gui nodded.
“Yes, if there’s a situation, you can contact the amusement park staff immediately, but usually, no one would think of keeping watch there at all times, so we need you.” Chu Ning explained.
“Alright.” Song Gui likewise left.
Then, only Xu Xi and Chu Ning remained.
“Chu Ning, what can I do for you?” Xu Xi felt that he should be of use as well. After all, Song Gui, who had also stayed behind, was in charge of a very important matter.
“Xu Xi, what’s going to happen next might put you in a difficult position. After all, this is just my guess. It’s best if it doesn’t happen, but if it does, M City might be caught in the storm of public opinion.” Chu Ning said hesitantly.
“I understand.” Xu Xi looked at Chu Ning and smiled. He continued, “So, there might be danger here, right? This is also the reason why you wanted us to leave this place as soon as possible. You wanted to deal with it alone, but now it seems that it’s not bad to have the understanding and help of classmates.”
“Yes, I’m very lucky to have you guys around,” Chu Ning replied softly.
“I know what to do. Get that internet celebrity to turn off her live broadcast.” When Chu Ning mentioned the words ‘public opinion’, Xu Xi understood what she meant.
Although this was somewhat unreasonable, even if his uncle was the Deputy Mayor, by doing so, the company behind the internet celebrity would have a reason to file a complaint against the Deputy Mayor. Although they might not dare to, they were in the right this time. Xu Xi’s actions would interfere with and even restrict the normal behavior of others.
Chu Ning wanted to save others, but she did not want to attract too much attention. If the memory really reappeared, she would have changed the established history, even though Chu Ning’s existence had transcended this world.
This was also covertly eliminating the hidden danger for the amusement park and the city government. It was not only for her own sake, but also an ending that many powers wanted to see. Chu Ning had quietly resolved this incident. Due to her timely intervention, not many people knew the real reason. Although the tourists would be confused, they would be more glad that they were still alive.
The investors behind the amusement park invisibly avoided the risk of closing down, and the city government would also save a lot of trouble.
At this time, the sky had become dark with clouds, the light dimming. The weather forecast could not accurately predict this phenomenon. It would not be long before a heavy rain fell at the amusement park.
“It’s getting more and more similar.” Chu Ning looked at the sky and then at her surroundings. Her blurry memories became clearer.
In about ten minutes, the last group of tourists who had experienced the high-altitude attraction would come out, and the next group of tourists would enter.
Chu Ning was now 100% sure that this group of tourists was the ones who were about to get into trouble.
Among the more than 100 people, according to the established historical trajectory, only a few lucky survivors would be left. Even if they survived, they had to relive this painful memory again in front of the media’s cameras.
“I don’t care — I want it now. I want that ring. Go buy it for me now!”
“We’ve been waiting in line for such a long time. It’s going to start soon. Can I buy it for you when we’re almost out?”
“I want it now! Didn’t you see what that couple was wearing? Why do other people’s boyfriends know how to buy these things, but as for you, you’re not willing to even after I asked you to go. You don’t like me at all!”
“No, Xiaoying, can you be reasonable? I didn’t say I wouldn’t buy it for you. Can’t you wait?”
Chu Ning heard the conversation of a couple a distance away. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the couple seemed to be having an unpleasant argument. The reason for their argument was common and boring.
The girl might have been jealous and wanted the ring when she saw other couples in the amusement park having it.
