As Lu Youyou's urgent words of comfort hung in the air, Xu Lie had yet to respond, but the audience was already buzzing with excitement.
"What kind of winner is this, declaring love right after a cold storage explosion?"
"This masterpiece is titled 'Lin Yuanliang Doing Homework at Home.'"
"Lu Youyou is so straightforward; I’m in love!"
Xu Lie watched Lu Youyou through the barrage of comments, sensing that some viewers might have misunderstood. Just then, Lu Youyou added, "Although we don't attend the same high school, there are other holidays coming up. We can go out to eat like we did today."
She smiled brightly, "I have limited funds, so I can't always eat that well, but I know some great little places with delicious food."
Faced with the girl's gentle demeanor, Xu Lie had not noticed any unusual reports or leaks during the days he had been monitoring Lu Youyou. He relaxed his guard and sincerely thanked her.
It was just a simple thank you; he hadn’t agreed 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 shop under her building to the fast-food restaurant behind Si Zhong. Xu Lie found it hard to interject. He wasn't from this world and had only been here for a short time; he hadn’t explored much at all. He didn’t even know if there were any eateries behind their school or beneath his own residence.
But that didn’t matter; they were just chatting. When Lu Youyou mentioned fried dough sticks, he could chime in with his preference for fluffy rather than crispy ones. When she talked about fast food, he could ask if they had tomato scrambled eggs on the menu.
As they discussed food, the camera shifted to another location—the command center of Ancheng Gene Repository.
An assistant brought in a cup of strong tea. The person in charge felt a bit nauseous at the sight but forced himself to drink it down. "Still no movement?"
The assistant didn’t even need to check notes. "No abnormalities reported from the rooftop team. The Cold Storage Infiltration Team conducted another internal inspection recently—still no issues."
Furthermore, the Search Team reported that both suspects had shown no signs of activity; they could only continue to observe.
Suddenly, a phone rang loudly, directly reaching the person in charge's mobile. He picked it up and saw it was a call from his superior.
His expression darkened; there had been no breakthroughs in the case thus far, and he truly didn’t know how to report this to his boss. But he couldn’t ignore the call.
With a long sigh, he answered just before the second ring: "Old Ling?"
"What?! The Gene Repository in Xing Cheng experienced a major explosion ten minutes ago? Fortunately, there were no casualties?!"
The news was so shocking that he couldn't care less about the formalities of communication. He shouted out loud, leaving his assistant dumbfounded.
"Goodness! I can't believe it! Just a moment ago, I was puzzled about how the cold storage had exploded and the Tian Long Board had been blown away, yet it seemed like nothing happened here in Ancheng. Turns out, it was the Xing Cheng cold storage that blew up!"
"Wait a minute, I just remembered. When Lu Youyou first tried to call Xu Lie, she couldn't get through. At that time, Xu Lie must have been on a plane, and then there was the hotel he stayed at. Everything is connecting now!"
"I'm impressed by the Detail Emperor; it feels like all of this was foreshadowed!"
"Don't forget, Xu Lie only mentioned the Gene Repository in his message; he didn't specify which cold storage it was!"
"No wonder Xu Lie agreed to have dinner with Lu Youyou. No wonder he showed no concern for the Heavenly Net here in Ancheng. His target from the beginning wasn't the Ancheng Cold Storage."
