Eastern Federation, Jinrong Prefecture.
The early morning sunlight shone through the curtains and fell on the young woman's face. She raised her brows slightly, then turned sideways and pulled the quilt, but the warm feeling still filled her back, and within a few seconds...
Chen Yun raised his eyelids sleepily, then yawned, dragged his heavy body down, put on his slippers following an almost conscious instinct, walked out of the bedroom door and walked through the corridor, then raised his hand to open the bathroom and walked in .
But when the woman stood in front of the mirror, there was no sleepiness left in her eyes.
After Chen Yun simply washed up, he returned to the bedroom in high spirits.
She skillfully sat down at the desk, reached out and took out several commonly used books and notes and spread them out. At the same time, she quickly opened the computer in front of her and accurately entered a website that ordinary people would never log in to.
Seeing that Ma En was still wanted, Chen Yun felt slightly relieved.
He has not been found.
Then she began to browse the light and dark web, and used the paper materials around her to collect various necessary memories. She also recorded short words and sentences that could represent her thoughts in her notebook, and no one except her could I can't understand the above content.
Chen Yun kept most of the important ideas in his mind.
Understanding the world is the prerequisite for changing the world. She did not develop this habit after Ma En was wanted. She began to try to collect useful information for Ma En through various methods very early - in You Yue It starts after death.
There is actually no particularly efficient way for ordinary people without status to get what she wants.
When she was a child, she did this out of sheer resistance to You Yue's passing. She couldn't actually do anything useful in the face of the cold reality. As she grew older, she gradually became better able to handle accepting the death of her friend. fact.
Later, when she just started working, she had to bear the living expenses of Ma En, and then the treatment expenses. In return for the church's subsidy, she also began to devote a lot of time to work, and she usually only had very little time to do it. Free time.
At that time, she would still spend time every day looking for the possibility of truly curing Marne's mental problems. She spent all her vacation time traveling to various parts of the federation to verify whether it was worthy of belief, but she did not find it at that time. Something really useful.
Victor Sanitarium is already one of the best mental illness treatment institutions in the world. If they can't solve Marn's problem, then it's basically useless to call anyone.
Later Ma En was discharged from the hospital.
After that, Chen Yun made preparations to wait for his return, but in fact, when she heard Ma En's initial call, she already had a premonition that things were heading in the wrong direction. If it weren't for her trust in her brother, , she might not be able to sit still for a long time.
The final result fulfilled her premonition, Ma En became a wanted criminal, and almost at the same time, all the senior clergy in her original church had accidents, and Bishop Ding also lost his life in a sudden fire. life.
Considering that Bishop Ding asked her to leave Dongxinzhou in advance and the manner and tone of his instructions at that time, Chen Yun actually didn't think it was really a fire. Ma En asked her on the phone at that time if she believed in the existence of supernatural powers. .
Of course she believed it.
At that time, she had a lot of doubts and confusion about You Yue's death, and the results obtained after the investigation were not very consistent with the laws of physics she was familiar with. Before the clues were cut off, Chen Yun had already suspected that there were some things around them that were not easy to explain. Something happened.
And she is a believer.
Since God exists, there will at least be devils in the mortal world, right?
You must know that the doctrine has clearly stated that human beings and heaven have a common enemy. A group of demons with extraordinary power actually exist in hell. Moreover, Chen Yun does not think that the person who killed Bishop Ding and her other colleagues would be some kind of terrorist organization. .
No terrorist organization would dare to do this.
Therefore, since then, Chen Yun has been investigating and understanding the two incidents of Ma En being wanted and the attack on the church. According to the reasons given by the federal government, Ma En's wanted order depicts him as a dangerous armed man who can launch terrorist attacks. .
Perfect fit.
Could it be that Ma En is possessed by a demon?
This was Chen Yun's earliest idea. It is said that many mental problems are caused by demons and demon possession.
But after reading a large number of scriptures and books, and asking professionals, she basically ruled out this possibility. Ma En's behavior before admission did not conform to any description of demonic possession, which also made Chen Yun slightly relaxed. Take a breath.
He should have nothing to do with Bishop Ding's unexpected death.
After confirming these circumstances, Chen Yun basically had no way to speculate on Ma En's situation. She also tried to ask the federal public officials who issued the wanted order, but obviously she would not get any meaningful answers given her status. .
Now that she's here, there's basically nothing she can do, and Chen Yun doesn't want to do that, because based on her understanding of Ma En, doing so is likely to cause Ma En to try to contact her, and she doesn't know whether this will Exposing Marne to federal surveillance.
She couldn't take the risk.
After thinking about this, all she could do for Ma En was to ensure his safety every day.
So she shifted her focus elsewhere.
Chen Yun sorted out the information and documents, and then changed into a formal senior priest's robe - this status was not essentially different from her previous doctrinal status, but it meant that she had to shoulder more responsibilities.
In fact, she was closer to the church management.
This is what Chen Yun did after getting the news that Ma En was wanted in Jinrong Prefecture.
After learning the news of Bishop Ding's death, Bishop Fu from the Financial District warmly invited her to stay here. Chen Yun also made this choice and became more actively involved in its more important affairs than in the past.
She didn't do this before because she felt that she was not ready and did not have the corresponding qualifications.
But now Chen Yun can no longer think so much. She knows exactly what she needs now - the status and "power" that allows the federation to talk to her, and even negotiate and exchange interests.
Even though the church has never acknowledged it, Chen Yun still believes that the church's top leaders have power.
The result was that she was promoted to senior pastor in a short period of time.
And Chen Yun suspected that this was just the beginning. Recently, Bishop Fu seemed to be hinting that she would continue to be promoted. If this continues, she would become the deputy bishop of Jinrongzhou. Maybe in a few years, she could really become someone. A person of great importance in Federation society.
This also gave Chen Yun some hope.
Chen Yun left her residence and walked in the direction of the church. The place where she lived now was very close to the church. This rental house was also recommended to her by the church, and the price was considered slightly cheaper in the same area.
She came to church wearing “work clothes.”
As soon as Chen Yun walked in, a young priest saw her, and then he immediately walked towards Chen Yun.
"Sister Yun." The young boy's face had not yet shed his childish look, "Bishop Fu wants to talk to you about that matter."
Chen Yun nodded slightly to him:
"I understand, Xiaopu."
Ye Pu had a hesitant look on his face. He wanted to say something to this senior, but for some reason he couldn't.
Seeing his obvious expression, Chen Yun asked thoughtfully:
"What's wrong?"
Ye Pu opened his mouth and said:
"Are you going to have dinner with that Mr. Mo?"
Chen Yun nodded:
"He insisted on the invitation."
Ye Pu quickly asked:
"Does the bishop not care about this kind of thing?"
Chen Yun said with a smile
"Did you hear something?"
Ye Pu nodded seriously:
"I heard that he had a lot of romantic rumors."
Mr. Mo, whom the boy mentioned, is a devout and wealthy believer. He converted to Christianity more than ten years ago and continues to make generous and large donations. Recently, he plans to spend money to build several schools in cooperation with the church. welfare facility, and she was assigned to this project.
This is also the most important job Chen Yun has accepted, but in fact this matter is quite simple, and the whole process has basically been decided. All she had to do was go through the motions and wait for promotion.
This actually made her a little ashamed, but it was nothing compared to Ma En's safety.
But just recently, the young rich man named Mo Jiangwen strongly proposed the idea of meeting Chen Yun in a high-end Western restaurant and discussing the matter in detail.
Of course, the young and promising tycoon expressed his expression in a rather tactful way. He only mentioned that he wanted to discuss increasing donations when Chen Yun had dinner with him, but everyone could see that he was serious about this matter. Determined.
Not only is his attitude very gentle, but judging from Mo Jiangwen's past performance, even if Chen Yun rejects the donation he promised, it will not be affected at all. His reputation in every aspect is particularly good.
In other words, whether she was facing the church or Mo Jiangwen, she could normally refuse this proposal. .
Chen Yun said somewhat amusingly:
"Don't worry, I'm just having a meal."
Ye Pu said nervously:
"I heard that he is interested in you. He also pursued other people in a similar way in the past."
Chen Yun deliberately showed a curious expression:
"Then shouldn't I go and see if he meets my standards?"
Ye Pu suddenly blushed when he heard this, because he realized that it was indeed not "normal" for him to be so anxious.
Chen Yun changed the topic before he blushed:
"I have also heard his story. Mr. Mo is a very elegant gentleman. If he really wants to get to know me, then I will just go and meet him. The Bishop has taught us not to discriminate against others.
“Whether one is poor or rich, everyone should be treated equally.
"Think about it, if the person opposite was a less wealthy donor, I would definitely go to the meeting out of emotion for his contribution. So if it were Mr. Mo, would we treat him differently?"
These words made the boy forget the embarrassment he had just felt, and then showed a look of shame:
"Sister Yun is right."
But in fact, what Chen Yun said is not entirely true.
If it were without Ma En, she would indeed handle these things in this way.
But because of Ma En's existence, she doesn't plan to start a relationship with anyone now, so she should refuse the dinner. But it is precisely because of Ma En's situation that she has to go to the dinner.
"Go back to work." Chen Yun said, "Don't think so much about me, I'm not a child anymore."
After she finished speaking, she passed by this young boy who obviously had some vague feelings for her, walked in a winding way in the church for half a minute, and finally pushed away the bishop's office.
Bishop Fu is a man in his thirties, with obvious signs of exercise on his body. When Chen Yun pushed the door open and entered, he was sitting upright in an office chair doing work.
"Xiaoyun, you're here." He raised his head enthusiastically, "Should you know what I want to talk to you about?"
Chen Yun stood opposite him:
"Is it a matter of donation?"
Bishop Fu nodded:
"Yes, he invited us to dinner, right? This guy has invited pastors from several churches before. I even suspected that the reason why he donated so actively was to get in touch with them.
"But actually I'm not worried about Mr. Mo. He is a kind and good man. I can see this in his eyes, but he still had some bad effects on our pastor in the past. You can imagine what happened. ?"
Chen Yun has actually heard of these things:
"They didn't resist the temptation, did they?"
Bishop Fu smiled:
"Yes, he is a good man, except for being a bit romantic.
“And that’s the problem.
"You have no reason to reject his pursuit, and this is the most fatal thing. He is also very generous to his girlfriends, so in a short period of time they will be given gifts that far exceed their lifetime income.
"Then they will break up peacefully one day, and a very small number of those former priests who left him are still willing to come back to serve the gods, but most of them are completely fascinated by the world of flowers, and it happens that they gain something from this relationship. enough wealth.
"They can leave the church."
Chen Yun said:
"You make it sound like I'm definitely going to have a crush on him."
Bishop Fu smiled:
"Mr. Mo is young and handsome, and he is also a rich man. He is also good at dealing with the opposite sex. Many of the young women he pursues cannot resist these conditions. Of course, you are different...
"You are so beautiful, and you must have had many suitors over the years. Maybe you and him are the same kind of people.
"But I still want to remind you that I am not against young people's free love. I just hope that you will not make the same mistakes as them."
Chen Yun said sincerely:
"Bishop Fu, I will never forget what the church did when I was in trouble, and it was you who raised me until now."
Bishop Fu showed a satisfied smile.
