“Ada!” Huang Wei shouted as he landed a punch into the abdomen of the Armed Personnel in front of him. Following that, he delivered a knee strike that collided with the opponent's lower body, bending him over. The entire sequence flowed seamlessly, showcasing a certain mastery.
After the attack, the chubby guy on the other side also let out a strange shout as he landed a punch on the cheek of one of the Militants, drawing blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then, several others from the FFF Group rushed in, throwing punches and kicks at him.
“Can you all tone it down a bit? Making such a racket against someone who's already tied up,” Yang Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at the group of ruffians beating on the Armed Personnel subdued by Feng Lin.
Now that the highest authority at Yuying Middle School had been dealt with and most of the threats eliminated, Zhao Chen used Morse code to send out information, triggering an external assault. Meanwhile, they also managed to clean up the Militants inside the Conference Building.
Initially, their commander had sent out most of their forces due to concerns about bombs, leaving only a handful of Militants in the Conference Building. With Feng Lin's involvement as a human weapon, they swept through and liberated the entire building like leaves blown away by autumn winds.
At first, Zhao Liang and Yang Xiaoyou were hesitant to take action simply because they were unaware of how many Militants were inside the Conference Building. However, once a defensive vacuum appeared due to the bomb incident, they naturally wouldn't sit idly by while people were in danger.
Both Zhao Liang and Yang Xiaoyou were generally trouble-averse individuals. However, when faced with trouble that needed addressing, they wouldn't shy away. For Yang Xiaoyou, this was ultimately her school, where she held a certain status.
Inside the Conference Building, they could hear the intense gunfire from outside. After cleaning up the building, no one suggested going to assist other classrooms.
If they left this area only to be pushed back by Militants again, all their previous efforts would be in vain. It was crucial to secure this group of students first.
Moreover, since there were only a few Militants left here, they left one exit guarded. After Feng Lin quickly knocked them all out, not many noticed her exceptional skills. Even those who saw her would feel as if they blinked and suddenly those guards were on the ground.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen was promoting among the students, creating an atmosphere that blamed the Radicals for the situation, continuously using the current circumstances to bolster their image.
Faced with this situation, Yang Xiaoyou adopted a taciturn stance. Although Feng Lin's abilities would not be overly excessive if brought to light, she ultimately preferred a quieter life. It was better for her to maintain her own good side. Furthermore, when divisions appeared within the Common Unity Party, even if she personally did not favor the Radicals, providing some support to them—who were clearly at a disadvantage—would only complicate matters for the organization. For now, it seemed like a win-win situation.
"This time has indeed benefited you, but make sure to learn from this lesson and not follow your old path," Yang Xiaoyou said, leaning against the wall and rubbing her nose as she observed Zhao Chen passionately speaking to the students.
"Dear viewers, we have exciting news coming in! In this major hostage crisis, there has been significant progress. After twenty-three hours of being held captive, the military successfully liberated two schools and rescued most of the students. What you are seeing now is footage of the remaining robbers surrendering.
According to reports from internal students, the mysterious Radicals played a crucial role in this incident. The hostage-takers at a Conference Building were dealt with thanks to their members' assistance—not under the name of the Common Unity Party but purely under the Radicals' banner, which is quite rare."
Once news of the successful rescue spread, it caused quite a stir online. The previous Virus Incident was a disaster; this time was truly significant.
However, due to the military's successful rescue operation, there was an unusual amount of praise for their efforts online. The few voices questioning public safety and criticizing the sudden action that threatened student safety were overshadowed. The success itself managed to cover up most flaws; after this rescue operation, both the ruling party and the Radicals emerged as winners.
The Common Unity Party had initially hoped to leverage this incident to cause failure for the ruling party and showcase their own success. However, their original plan relied on successful negotiations by the Common Unity Party. With Ou Qizheng's death, it turned into mere background noise. While having casualties could generate sympathy for their sacrifices, people generally do not remember failures too well.
They could only utilize their relationship with the Radicals for some indirect promotion. Although their reputation had indeed strengthened significantly on paper, much of it came from being associated with the Radicals' praise. At this moment, they needed to consider their methods if they wanted to suppress the Radicals again.
Both they and their opponents had increased their reputations; however, if their opponents gained more recognition, it would indirectly weaken their own power. The other high-ranking members of the Common Unity Party found themselves in a difficult position regarding this incident. They never expected that even in such a disadvantageous situation, the Radicals would manage to turn things around, disrupting some of their plans.
If the Common Unity Party had already faced enough tragedy...
Then in this incident, losing both resources and allies while inadvertently aiding their enemies made them appear even more pitiful. Indeed, while the Wolf Pack Mercenary Corps was not one of their main forces, sending them into action required considerable resources and effort from the organization.
The price they paid for the outcome was that they had to swallow their grievances and bear the consequences in silence, suffering a heavy blow.
Moreover, the losses of the wolf pack and resources were one thing, but now they had to conceal their own connections to prevent the Chinese Empire from unleashing its terrifying power. Ironically, the Radicals they had originally intended to eliminate were now thriving thanks to this so-called 'assistance,' which truly troubled them.
An unexpected incident had severely disrupted the organization’s plans.
“Open the door! If you don’t open it, I’ll give you a beating.” Due to the Hijacking Incident, both schools had to extend their break, and Yang Xiaoyou took this opportunity to rest at home and try to grasp that fleeting feeling once again.
At that moment, someone was knocking loudly on his door. Hearing Qi Menglu's threatening voice, Yang Xiaoyou felt somewhat perplexed; it had been a while since she last visited him.
However, considering the exaggerated events at school recently, it was normal for her to come check on him. Yang Xiaoyou let the girl in.
As for Qi Menglu's suspicions? From what Yang Xiaoyou knew about her, her reactions were quite dull regarding such matters. She had no judgment about fighting abilities; he could almost act without any disguise, and she still wouldn’t connect it back to him.
“Why am I up so early? Don’t you know I need to rest after being startled yesterday?” After opening the door for her, Yang Xiaoyou flopped onto the sofa like a corpse, showing no intention of greeting her.
Qi Menglu walked in without any courtesy and poured herself a glass of juice. Then she took the opportunity to sit on Yang Xiaoyou's lap, patting his back as she said, “Dad said I should come check on you and see if you’re hurt or anything. He also asked you to come over for lunch.”
However, as she patted him, she noticed something strange on his shoulder: two band-aids in a cross shape. Her expression turned curious.
“Ugh, I got startled; it’s such a hassle. Can we go tomorrow? I don’t have the energy today,” Yang Xiaoyou mumbled weakly with his cheek pressed against the sofa.
“No way.” With a light huff, Qi Menglu leaped onto Yang Xiaoyou's back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Alright, alright, can we go now? Let me go!" Feeling the soft body on her back, Yang Xiaoyou rolled her eyes, as it seemed neither of them considered the other a stranger.
"I won't let go." With her chin resting on Yang Xiaoyou's back, Qi Menglu swung her legs and tightened her grip a little more.
"Let go of me!"
"I won't let go."
"Just let go."
"I refuse to let go."
"I'm going to be choked!"
"I won't let go, I won't let go, I won't let go." Qi Menglu buried her face against Yang Xiaoyou's back, a strange smile appearing on her face.
