Knowing that this was not the place for conversation, a few of them quietly turned in another direction and found a new office to hide in. Liu Lianyue looked at Yang Xiaoyou with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Liang also wore a strange expression, while only Liang Wuxuan had a faint smile on his face.
"Uh, I noticed there were a lot of black people around, and since there are often more perverts among them, it's better to hide," Yang Xiaoyou casually explained.
Afterward, she asked in return, "Why is Lin with you? Did you run into her on the way?"
"You know each other? Oh right, you seemed to greet her oddly just now," Liu Lianyue said, appearing somewhat surprised. Liu Lianyue had a very deep impression of Feng Lin; the sight of her standing atop a corpse had left an indelible mark on her memory.
Seeing Feng Lin wandering in the corridor earlier had excited Liu Lianyue immensely. At the same time, she understood that the chaos outside was likely caused by this exceptionally cute girl, who made her want to hug and tease her.
Initially, Liu Lianyue was worried that it would be difficult to interact with Feng Lin. However, after sneaking up to greet her, she found that Feng Lin seemed unusually indifferent. Perhaps because they had met before when Liu Lianyue had asked her to follow along, she had hidden with them.
What surprised Liu Lianyue even more was that this ethereal girl from another dimension actually knew Yang Xiaoyou, the homebody. It truly astonished her. However, recalling that she had seen another side of this girl, Liu Lianyue felt a slight sense of pride. It seemed that in this aspect, she had surpassed Yang Xiaoyou.
Afterward, Liu Lianyue patted Yang Xiaoyou on the shoulder with a serious expression and said, "Your choice was correct. I've heard that some boys have already fallen victim."
Seeing this fellow trying to scare her, Yang Xiaoyou rolled her eyes but then shivered again when she caught sight of Liang Wuxuan looking at her with a smirk.
Given Liang Wuxuan's suspicions about her, it was likely that she would make some deductions. But let her deduce; after being seen through by her, Yang Xiaoyou was prepared to reveal just enough for Liang Wuxuan to understand—so long as she couldn't connect her with another identity, it didn't matter.
Of course, revealing too much directly could raise suspicion. It was still necessary to maintain some cover; however, the approach could be slightly altered. With Liang Wuxuan's abilities, she would surely be able to deduce things.
Yang Xiaoyou thought back to how she had dealt with Mo Wenfu; she was just an outer Mercenary. With those unscrupulous parents around, it was quite easy to conceal things.
"Just now, the intensity of their search increased significantly. There must be some intruder causing the commotion. However, after ramping up their efforts continuously, there hasn't been any sign of search teams for quite some time now. Something must have gone wrong," Zhao Liang suddenly spoke up without getting caught in the strange atmosphere around them. He voiced his concerns and glanced at Feng Lin with confusion before shaking his head with a wry smile—it probably wasn't this girl who caused the chaos after all.
Watching Zhao Liang's performance, Yang Xiaoyou began to understand that Liu Lianyue had not revealed Feng Lin's abilities. The fact that Zhao Liang was able to identify the problem so quickly reaffirmed his capabilities. Perhaps Liang Wuxuan had also noticed the issue, but he seemed to be enjoying himself, which left Yang Xiaoyou feeling somewhat helpless; truly a chaotic Demoness.
"Are they preparing for a full-scale attack outside? Judging by their equipment, they don't seem like the kind of terrorists who would resort to suicide attacks. They likely have financial motives or something similar. If that's the case, it's very likely that those outside have figured it out too, and the chances of them taking action are quite high," Yang Xiaoyou shrugged.
The current situation was clear; those responsible for this predicament were well aware of their role. Under normal circumstances, the most pressing concern would be the possibility of terrorists planting bombs. However, it was evident that the mercenary team that had arrived had their own plans. Most of the equipment they brought consisted of anti-personnel mines already set up in the periphery. After all, during his time outside, he hadn't seen any signs of bomb installations.
In this context, Yang Xiaoyou didn't mind offering some reminders; finishing things up sooner would allow him to rest earlier. As for the signs he had displayed, Liu Lianyue was already aware of them, and Liang Wuxuan certainly wouldn't find anything strange about it. Zhao Liang, however, cast a surprised glance at Yang Xiaoyou.
"It is indeed very possible. However, I suspect that the Royal Academy of Basic Studies has already been breached; that's likely what happened," Zhao Liang nodded and continued to organize the information he had gathered so far.
Hearing his words made Yang Xiaoyou feel almost defeated. He knew Zhao Liang was capable, but did he really have to be so blunt?
Meanwhile, Liang Wuxuan seemed unfazed by the situation; he occasionally glanced at Yang Xiaoyou, clearly indicating that he was suspicious of him.
Yet even with his rich imagination and bold deductions, Liang Wuxuan probably couldn't fathom that this situation was more than just a simple connection.
"What can we do?" Liu Lianyue asked sincerely. Although she felt some resentment towards the fellow who had knocked her out earlier, her strong sense of justice prevented her from holding a grudge at this moment. Besides, she believed that the fellow from the Special Operations Department still hadn't recognized her.
"What else can we do? We hide! Do you think I can do anything in my current state? Having the ability to save someone is good; if you can't do anything and end up putting yourself in danger, that's just foolish," Zhao Liang said nonchalantly as he scratched his ear without hesitation.
Zhao Liang was a very pragmatic person. Due to his previous work experience, he didn't reject valuable sacrifices; however, he wouldn't even consider dying for no reason if it held no value. Now that he had effectively retired early, none of this concerned him.
Yang Xiaoyou nodded in agreement with Zhao Liang's words. Along with the noncommittal Liang Wuxuan and the dazed Feng Lin, Liu Lianyue suddenly felt isolated in her stance. What kind of fellows were these? There were still opportunities available; after all, there was a powerful trump card among them.
"Don't you worry about your brother?" Liu Lianyue challenged.
"He's clever enough; I don't need to worry about him," Zhao Liang replied dismissively in response to her provocation.
The current situation was clear: this group of militants had undergone inexplicable changes and shifted their tactics significantly. While there might be some risks during an assault where lives couldn't be guaranteed, overall they could resolve issues effectively. Moreover, through negotiation, these militants weren't entirely devoid of options for direct compromise.
Without knowing the number of militants outside, acting recklessly could truly be counterproductive.
However, just as the majority vote pressed down on Liu Lianyue, a sudden sound of multiple footsteps echoed from the entrance. Someone was speaking in English, asking, "Second-in-Command, has the boss really compromised?"
"Hmph! I don't know what the boss is thinking. After all this effort to gather a crew, he suddenly backs out. He won't even bring the explosives when told to. But it doesn't matter; I've already prepared for this situation. I arranged for a few people to bring some backups. Although I can't set everything up, controlling this floor is completely feasible. If they dare to come, I'll dare to take them down with me. I won't compromise on this point; our team cannot be ruined like this! We must gather enough leverage before leaving!" The other individual, appearing quite furious, spoke with a hint of violence.
The voice clearly transmitted into the room, causing the faces of several fellows present, who had decent English skills, to change.
"Well, perhaps we need to adjust our plan," Zhao Liang said with a headache, rubbing his uninjured hand against his forehead.
Yang Xiaoyou was also sweating bullets at this point; even the pack's captain seemed ineffective if he couldn't control his subordinates. Perhaps only their captain truly knew the real purpose of their operation. Such blunders were unavoidable.
At that moment, a hairpin on Liu Lianyue's head vibrated slightly. Sensing this change, she revealed a strange expression and then placed the hairpin by her ear, speaking in an unusual tone, "Leader? How did you manage to contact me? Are you near the school?"
"Yes, the situation is urgent. The terrorists at Yuying Middle School are preparing to plant explosives. We must find a way to stop them at all costs."
With his exceptional hearing, Yang Xiaoyou caught the voice coming from the hairpin-like intercom. His mouth twitched slightly because besides that voice, he also vaguely heard a similar one coming from the adjacent office.
Cang Teacher belongs to the world; Diaoyu Island belongs to China. (To be continued)
