"Suicide? Tsk..." Putting down the half-eaten food in her hand, Yang Xiaoyou's expression appeared somewhat strange at that moment.
The Outsider might not know how badly the other party was hurt this time, but Yang Xiaoyou had a clearer understanding. The injury was indeed severe, with a significant possibility of causing the loss of certain functions. However, due to instinctual avoidance and defense mechanisms, if properly treated, recovering about fifty to sixty percent of physical capabilities was quite feasible. As a martial artist of this caliber, the other party should also be well aware of their own injuries.
If the loss of certain functions and the humiliation were enough to drive someone to choose suicide, based on the time Yang Xiaoyou had spent observing the other party, it seemed likely they would first focus on recovering before seeking revenge. Choosing to commit suicide in a hospital rather than pursuing vengeance contradicted the mentality that came with their strength. Seeing this news felt too dissonant.
"Better off dead; it saves me a lot of trouble. Whether it's suicide or being killed doesn't matter." After a moment's thought, Yang Xiaoyou shook her head self-deprecatingly. There was too little information about this situation. Regardless, given how high-profile the other party had been, they must have many enemies. Whether it was genuine suicide or not was irrelevant to her; it actually spared her from considerable hassle. Otherwise, she would have had to find time to deal with it thoroughly.
"Dead? Ha! With Dojo Master's personality, how could he choose suicide before seeking revenge? It must be that fellow; he must be afraid of Dojo Master's future retaliation." Lin Min, who was also looking at the news, snapped the chopsticks in his hand.
He had initially planned to take risks by using self-harm as bait to lure the other party out. As long as they showed up, it would be easier to gather evidence. Now, however, that cunning criminal had revealed their tail first.
Although he regretted not being able to stop the other party's evil deeds, he had to seize this opportunity to find their flaws.
Without finishing his meal, Lin Min walked straight out of his home.
On a bustling Pedestrian Street, three figures—two men and one woman—walked side by side. The men were Yang Xiaoyou and Chen Hao, but the woman was not Qi Menglu; instead, she appeared somewhat frail with a sickly pale complexion that evoked pity—a pure and ethereal girl who left a striking impression.
Her prominent curves contrasted sharply with her delicate features, making her even more captivating.
"Hehe, a pilot from Special Recruitment—truly impressive," Liu Lianyue said in a soft and gentle tone, her demeanor perfectly matching her appearance and giving off an aura reminiscent of spring breezes.
Yang Xiaoyou could see a hint of impatience and annoyance in her eyes. Compared to Liu Lianyue's displeasure, Yang Xiaoyou's expression was even more peculiar. She sighed and glanced at Chen Hao, who wore a bright, sunny expression.
It was Liu Lianyue who had such a face that could easily captivate others. If it weren't for the fact that she had been too early to notice, Yang Xiaoyou felt she might have fallen for it herself. The underlying reason was that the nearby girls were not like Chen Hao's sister, who was sharp-tongued, but rather like Qi Menglu, which made her yearn for soft-spoken girls.
Living with Chen Hao, who was even more tragic than herself, made her realize this. His exceptional older sister lived with him; perhaps his dream of finding a soft-spoken girl was even more obsessive than hers. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dated three girlfriends since entering school.
Thinking about Liu Lianyue's other side made Yang Xiaoyou's mouth twitch slightly, and she wore a sympathetic expression.
Originally, Yang Xiaoyou had planned to accompany Chen Hao for a stroll this Sunday since he would be leaving soon. However, at that moment, Liu Lianyue had approached her, seemingly unwilling to give up on dragging her into the Progressive Faction. To make matters worse, she hadn't given any prior notice. It turned out that Baldy had spotted her while escorting guests to Pedestrian Street.
Thus, this "chance encounter" occurred when Liu Lianyue suddenly found herself beside them, putting on her business-like demeanor. It seemed that Chen Hao was caught in the crossfire.
"I wonder if Sister Liu has a boyfriend now," Chen Hao said straightforwardly after a few casual pleasantries, catching Liu Lianyue off guard.
At that moment, she shot Yang Xiaoyou a fierce glare as if blaming her for the question. After all, she had just recovered from an injury and was still feeling weak. She had initially wanted to show sincerity by dragging Yang Xiaoyou into this mess but ended up in this awkward situation instead.
Yang Xiaoyou couldn't bear to watch any longer; she sighed and patted Chen Hao on the shoulder with an understanding look. "Sigh, just give up. There are no soft-spoken girls in this world."
"Uh..." Hearing Yang Xiaoyou's nonsensical remark left Chen Hao momentarily stunned. Could it be that even Yu had taken a liking to this delicate girl? What about Menglu? "My sister, this is my best friend; don't ruin him! He knows all about my joining the Common Unity Party." Seeing Chen Hao's blank expression, Yang Xiaoyou turned to Liu Lianyue beside her.
"Tch, you can't take a joke? Wasting my expressions here—are all your friends like this?" Liu Lianyue's expression instantly brightened at those words, and she relaxed her tone.
Then it seemed she realized something and smiled sweetly at Chen Hao. "By the way, does this pilot friend have any interest in joining our Common Unity Party? We are now an officially recognized opposition party in the Legislative Yuan; joining us would only benefit your future. We are currently in a period of rapid development and welcome all talented individuals."
Yang Xiaoyou simultaneously chimed in, "This is the fellow who dragged me into the party last time."
Watching Liu Chengyue change so rapidly and hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Chen Hao felt as if something inside him had shattered.
"Yoh, I've already taken quite a few days off from school. I've decided to go tomorrow. There's no need to see me off on Monday since I have classes. We'll meet again during the winter break," Chen Hao said with a hint of numbness, glancing one last time at Liu Lianyue. He sighed, realizing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment; this contrast was truly a blow to him.
Yang Xiaoyou fully understood the mood of his companion. After all, they had just met, and he had spent a long time accompanying the other person before.
Liu Lianyue, however, seemed a bit confused. Whether it was Yang Xiaoyou or this pilot's fellow, their reactions toward her seemed somewhat strange. The pretense was manageable, but when it came to genuine interactions, things turned out like this.
"Fine, if you don't want to join us, then don't act all high and mighty. By the way, are you really unwilling to join our faction? I introduced you; without the protection of our faction, you might face some exclusion," Liu Lianyue complained first and then turned seriously to Yang Xiaoyou.
"Absolutely not. Don't even think about it. I'm very opposed to your radical ideas and the dangers involved. So let's not discuss this any further," Yang Xiaoyou firmly stated. "Even if Yoh agreed, I wouldn't allow it. I won't let him get involved in such risks." Chen Hao beside him wore a determined expression as well.
"Well then, come join us for tonight's party initiation ceremony. Many newcomers have joined recently; just be with them this time and let's hope there won't be any issues," Liu Lianyue said with a hint of disinterest.
Their conversation was nothing less than a reflection of the current situation of the Progressive Faction!
