Chen Lusi didn’t disturb her, letting Li Zheng and Tang Language stay together, then hurried back to Lin Ying’s house.
7:15.
Chen Lusi had just entered and washed his face.
Lin Wan pushed open the room door and walked out sleepily.
"Brother-in-law..."
Seeing Chen Lusi, Lin Wan called out to him groggily.
Chen Lusi was rummaging through the fridge and instructed, "Get ready, don’t forget anything."
"Mm..."
Lin Wan walked groggily into the bathroom.
Chen Lusi spent a little ti to prepare a simple breakfast for Lin Wan, then served it out.
Lin Wan also ca out of the bathroom, having changed into a fresh outfit, looking pure and lovely.
"Brother-in-law, didn’t you sleep last night?"
Lin Wan pulled out a chair in the kitchen, then glanced at Chen Lusi’s expression, a bit curious.
"I did, just a bit worried."
Chen Lusi shook his head lightly, not telling the truth.
Everything got piled up together, tiredness was certainly there.
But obviously, these things couldn’t be shared with Lin Wan.
"...I’m not worried."
Lin Wan seed a bit skeptical, but in the end, said nothing more, just added, "Don’t worry."
"Mm."
Chen Lusi nodded, saying nothing further.
After finishing breakfast and double-checking to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, Lin Wan was ready to go.
Chen Lusi accompanied her out the door.
The examination venue wasn’t far from her house.
By the ti the two arrived at the venue, many parents and children were already waiting outside.
Scenes like this were not unfamiliar to Chen Lusi, since they played out every year.
"Did you bring everything?"
Looking at the bustling scene in the distance, Chen Lusi asked again.
Lin Wan double-checked and nodded.
"Anything else you need?"
Although Chen Lusi was thinking about the missing Xia Panqiu and others... he still took these few minutes for her.
"Mm... just promise one thing."
Lin Wan thought for a bit, then gave Chen Lusi a sweet smile, speaking softly, "In three days, I’ll be an adult too. I hope my brother-in-law can see as a woman, like my sister."
Chen Lusi replied, "I’ve always seen you as a woman."
Lin Wan shook her head gently, whispering, "Not like that... sotis I feel like I live in my sister’s shadow."
"Shadow?"
Hearing this, Chen Lusi instinctively glanced at their shadows, about to respond.
But suddenly, he froze.
The scenes from the old town surged up in his mind again.
The ’strange feeling’ that lingered in his heart last night... it all seed to connect at this mont.
He looked down at the overlapping shadows of himself and Lin Ying, then abruptly turned his head toward the direction of the old town.
"...Brother-in-law?"
Lin Wan noticed Chen Lusi’s expression and was slightly taken aback.
"It’s nothing."
Chen Lusi took a deep breath, looking at the pure and lovely girl before him, replying, "I promise you."
"Really?"
Lin Wan’s eyes lit up, her clean, clear eyes full of happiness.
"Mm."
Noting the ti, Chen Lusi realized it was ti to enter: "Go on."
Lin Wan looked back, hesitated for a mont, then suddenly stepped forward, reaching out her fair little hand and gently hugging Chen Lusi.
An instant touch.
After the hug.
She imdiately lowered her head and ran to the entrance gate.
Chen Lusi watched Lin Wan walk away, until she passed through the smart security check and entered the examination venue, before he turned to leave.
He had a rough idea... where the problem lay.
...
Ti pushed back a little.
Not long after Chen Lusi left.
Old Town.
Tang Language finally put down the phone, lifted her head, looking around with a grim expression.
Elsewhere.
The Security Army didn’t leave because Chen Lusi said he would return.
The leader, Li Zheng, noticed Tang Language’s unpleasant expression and proactively inquired, "What’s wrong?"
He was familiar with the Celestial Strategy mbers of various brigades and had interacted with them.
Tang Language glanced at Li Zheng, gritting her teeth, "Last night, while the Empowerer’s hired organization ’First Rider Position’ was attacking the northern border line, nearly a hundred mbers left their respective teams and ca to Jiangchang City!"
"In one night, nearly a hundred mbers!"
"At the sa ti, Hu Shengping from the Eighth Brigade and Yan Kan from the Sixth Brigade also brought people over!"
Li Zheng widened his eyes: "...Huh?"
The information was overwhelming.
Attacking the border line?
mbers leaving their teams?
Two brigades coming to Jiangchang City?
After a long while.
He ca to and continued to ask, "...What are they planning to do?"
"They said they want to help find the missing colleagues!"
Tang Language gritted her silver teeth: "Nearly four hundred people! Coming to help find colleagues!"
If she wasn’t sure last night,
With the continuous arrival of new information,
He was now sure that he was caught in a vortex.
So many people using the sa excuse, even leaving their original teams to co to Jiangchang City, they must be planning sothing.
This disappearance incident might be just a part of it!
Because it was precisely this excuse that gave justification for Hu Shengping and Yan Kan to bring people over.
Even... the Empowerer’s hired organization ’First Rider Position’ running to the border line was also unusual.
It couldn’t be a coincidence!
Li Zheng: "..."
His expression also changed, realizing the severity of the situation.
But before he could speak,
"Tang Language! You’re here too!"
A furious roar suddenly ca.
Li Zheng turned his head.
A mountainous figure ca into view, with a massive, burly body, a fierce round-faced, big-eared countenance, and a shiny bald head, exuding imnse pressure.
Seeing that figure, Li Zheng’s eyelid twitched.
Eighth Brigade Celestial Strategy, Hu Shengping.
"Tang Language?"
Elsewhere, a man with glasses, scholarly-looking with slightly curly hair, saw Tang Language and was equally surprised.
