"Does the school have reimbursement?" With a dramatic cast on his arm, Yang Xiaoyou looked at the eyes of the counselor in front of him, revealing a dead fish gaze as he weakly spoke.
The newly graduated counselor felt an immediate sense of discomfort, thinking, Damn it, this is what happens when you go out on leave and come back looking like this!
However, he couldn't voice such thoughts. When students encounter problems at school, they are often required to pay for them, especially since there had recently been a series of issues due to military training.
At this point, he could only swallow his frustration.
Although Yang Xiaoyou liked to take advantage of situations, he wasn't so reckless as to go to such extremes. This time, he was primarily trying to figure out how to deal with Meng Lu and Feng Lin.
Well, even though he was currently in a cast that made it look like he had a fracture, the injury to Yang Xiaoyou's right arm was far more severe than a simple break!
For an ordinary person experiencing such an injury, even a top expert would only have the option of amputation; otherwise, the damaged arm could pose a fatal threat.
However, for Yang Xiaoyou, while this injury was indeed serious, it was still comparable to an ordinary fracture. Theoretically, with a month or two of rest, he could recover.
Yet he understood that time was running short. After being targeted by that sickly sweet girl, his healing period had completely overlapped with his ability to act.
Even though he had received sufficient support from magical artifacts, it was unclear whether it would be profitable or not.
For now, he needed to use the school as a cover. He had to alter the way his injury was presented while also searching for enough medicinal materials for recovery.
After obtaining the counselor's note and dragging the heavy cast back to the dormitory, Yang Xiaoyou saw three people with varying expressions.
Liu Shaoqiang didn't need to be involved; he had personally gone to the Royal Treasury and witnessed superhuman combat techniques. He even learned about the Hive Leader's information. His life was completely in Yang Xiaoyou's hands, so he certainly understood how Yang Xiaoyou had sustained his injuries.
At this moment, Liu Shaoqiang remained silently brooding in the corner.
Wang Xincheng had also been frightened at the Ecological Park last time and, given his timid nature, didn't dare approach.
On the other hand, Fang Jinke, the slightly chubby fellow, only knew that Yang Xiaoyou seemed to know Dream Butterfly Sister. Now he ignited his curiosity and approached Yang Xiaoyou to inquire incessantly about something.
"The exact time for the concert isn't certain; it's coming up soon. You know how it is. That girl is performing at several venues; you just have to work around that. As for tickets and all that, I'm sure you can figure something out without asking me."
After waving his hand in slight impatience, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but show a bit of annoyance. Just when he was about to go treasure hunting, Meng Lu and Chen Wuyou happened to come looking for him, seemingly because Feng Lin and Dumb Dream Butterfly had encountered some kind of trouble again.
Fortunately, he wasn't there at the time; otherwise, facing a scene akin to a hellish battlefield would have been far from easy.
At that moment, however, the dormitory door was knocked on. Sensing a somewhat familiar aura outside, Yang Xiaoyou was taken aback. This fellow truly matched the identity he had deduced.
He shrugged off the gossiping guy and opened the door, only to find Zhao Chen standing outside with dark circles under his eyes.
"I need your help to contact someone; there's something I need to discuss."
On the rooftop of the dormitory, many blankets were spread out to dry in the sun, creating a unique landscape with various colors.
Amidst this scene, Yang Xiaoyou and Zhao Chen sat directly on the floor without any pretense, letting the sun shine down on them while a faint scent of laundry detergent lingered in the air.
"You did this, didn't you?"
After a moment of silence, Zhao Chen sighed with a hint of melancholy and cast a complex glance at Yang Xiaoyou.
"What do you mean we did it? I don't understand," Yang Xiaoyou replied innocently while adjusting the heavy plaster.
In truth, the recent upheaval in the royal family had some roots in the capital. It wasn't too difficult to determine who was truly behind it.
However, most people in the know chose to play dumb. After all, without substantial evidence and excluding the significant role and mutual benefits of Hive Security Company, the terrifying combat power that wiped out the royal family's main forces overnight was also a major factor keeping things calm.
In the past, when faced with that useless royal family, they had chosen to ignore them due to their high-level combat capabilities. Now that the royal family was effectively powerless, even if some force wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for something, they would surely think twice about deliberately removing Hive Security Company from suspicion to avoid misunderstandings.
The fall of an empire's royal family had led to this absurd situation before them—perhaps it was unique only to the Chinese Empire.
Of course, knowing what he knew didn't mean that Hive Security Company would ever admit any involvement in such matters. If substantial evidence were left behind, trouble would inevitably follow.
Yang Xiaoyou certainly wouldn't admit anything either; however, his expression and words would convey enough for Zhao Chen to understand—some things could only be implied rather than explicitly stated.
“Although I am also a side branch of the Zhao Clan, I have no interest in the mission left by our ancestors. Don’t get me wrong; perhaps you all have provided me with a kind of relief from pressure. Sigh, enough of that. The main reason I came this time is actually related to the incident at the Ecological Park and Military Training. As for the changes within the royal family, that’s probably just a coincidence,” Zhao Chen said, his handsome face, marked by slight dark circles, still exuding an undeniable charm as he became serious.
Yang Xiaoyou, who had been pondering what Zhao Chen wanted from him, was taken aback to hear that it was related to the incident at the Ecological Park. Could it be that this fellow saw that giant wolf during the event? Did he know it was an abnormal creature?
“I would like to hear more details.”
“Ha, don’t laugh at me for coming out here. Although I haven’t grasped any substantial evidence yet, the series of events—the changes at the Ecological Park and Military Training, along with the disaster involving the royal family—seem to be interconnected in some way. Perhaps your Hive Security Company has some suspicions as well,” Zhao Chen replied without holding back.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen’s words, Yang Xiaoyou couldn’t help but roll his eyes internally. Indeed, compared to these fellows, his only advantage was his good memory and quick analytical skills. Their level of insight and imaginative thinking truly made him feel inferior.
It was astonishing how two seemingly unrelated events were forcefully linked together, and this connection was indeed valid.
No wonder in his memories of a place like the Chinese Empire, there existed forces capable of ‘uprising.’ The current development model, although different from what he remembered, could not hide its own brilliance.
