In response to Lu Youyou's urgent words of comfort, Xu Lie had yet to say anything when the audience began to stir.
"Just a second ago, they successfully triggered the cold storage, and now the Female Second Lead is confessing her feelings. What a winner in life!"
"A masterpiece! This painting is titled Lin Yuanliang Doing Homework at Home."
"Lu Youyou is so approachable, I love her!"
Xu Lie looked at Lu Youyou through the barrage of comments and sensed that some of the audience might have misunderstood. Just then, Lu Youyou added, "Even though we don't go to the same high school, we still have weekends and other holidays. We can go out to eat like we did today."
She continued, "But my allowance is limited, so I can't always eat that well. However, I know some small places with great flavors."
Faced with the girl's gentle demeanor and having observed Lu Youyou over the past few days without noticing any signs of reporting or leaks, Xu Lie relaxed his guard and sincerely thanked her.
He only expressed his gratitude without agreeing to future meals together; Xu Lie was well aware that he would be busier in the days to come. However, Lu Youyou seemed oblivious to this detail and took it as an agreement, excitedly chatting about the food spots she knew.
She rambled on from the fried dough stick shop beneath her building to a fast-food restaurant behind Si Zhong's school, leaving Xu Lie with little room to interject. He wasn't part of this world; he had been there for a short time and hadn’t explored much. He didn’t even know if there were any eateries behind their school or beneath his own residence.
But that didn’t hinder their conversation. When Lu Youyou mentioned fried dough sticks, he could chime in about his preference for fluffy rather than crispy ones; when she talked about fast food, he could ask if they served scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
As they chatted about food, the camera shifted to another location—the command center of Ancheng Gene Cold Storage.
An assistant brought in the sixth cup of strong tea. The person in charge felt nauseous at the sight of it but forced himself to drink: "Still no movement?"
The assistant didn’t need to check notes: "The rooftop team hasn’t reported any abnormalities, and the cold storage Stealth Team conducted another internal inspection recently—still no issues."
Additionally, Search Team Two reported that neither of the suspects had made any moves; they could only continue to observe.
Suddenly, a ringing phone interrupted them. The person in charge picked it up and saw it was a call from his superior. His expression darkened; with no breakthroughs in the case thus far, he was unsure how to report back. But he couldn’t ignore the call.
With a long sigh, he answered just before the second ring: "Old Ling?"
"What?! There was a major explosion at Xing Cheng's Gene Cold Storage ten minutes ago? Thankfully, there were no casualties?!"
The news was so shocking that he couldn't care less about the formalities of communication, and he shouted out loud, leaving his assistant dumbfounded.
"Goodness, I got it! Just now, I was wondering why the cold storage explosion lifted the ceiling, yet it seemed like nothing happened over here in Ancheng. Turns out, the explosion was at Xing Cheng's cold storage!"
"Wait a minute, I just remembered that when Lu Youyou first called Xu Lie, the call couldn't go through temporarily. At that time, Xu Lie was on a plane, right? And there was also the hotel he was staying at. Everything matches up perfectly."
"Impressive attention to detail; it feels like all of this is foreshadowing!"
"Don't forget that Xu Lie's message only mentioned Gene Cold Storage without specifying which cold storage it was!"
"No wonder Xu Lie agreed to have dinner with Lu Youyou. No wonder he showed no concern about Heavenly Net over here in Ancheng; his target wasn't even Ancheng Cold Storage from the beginning."
