A few minutes later, Lan Xue's call ca in, everything was arranged, Shi Feng, at Luo Zheng's indication, parked the car in the campus parking lot, applied the handbrake, and looked at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng thought for a mont and said, "You stay in the parking lot, ready to support anyti, don't go in." Then he looked at the little punk girl.
The little punk girl figured it out; Luo Zheng was soone who strictly adhered to his principles, no use talking more. She couldn't be bothered to argue, picked up her bag, and headed to her class, with Luo Zheng following behind, cautiously observing the surroundings, familiarizing himself with the terrain, noting entrances and exits, building heights, and places for cover. For Luo Zheng's mission, the school was no less than a battlefield.
Luo Zheng's presence was distinctive, with a tall and upright posture, chestnut skin, and sharp eyes, walking with an almost asured precision. His presence attracted the curious glances of many, who speculated whether he was a new teacher. Hearing the students' speculation, Luo Zheng remained indifferent, maintaining a three-ter distance from the little punk girl, taking out his tactical sunglasses, and putting them on, making him appear even cooler.
Unknowingly, they arrived at a classroom. The little punk girl, puffing with anger, went to her seat. Luo Zheng removed his sunglasses as the class bell rang. Everyone returned to their seats, and seeing an empty seat in the back, Luo Zheng entered through the back door and sat down unceremoniously. The students were surprised to see Luo Zheng, as neither he looked like a teacher nor a transfer student, arousing curiosity.
A boy nearby couldn't help but ask, "Are you new here?"
"Is that a problem?" Luo Zheng calmly countered.
"Uh?" The boy was at a loss for words, feeling rebuffed.
At this mont, the class teacher hurriedly ran in, leapt up the podium, glanced at Luo Zheng in the back, and said, "Classmates, the gentleman at the back is an auditor, just here to listen to a few classes. Don't be surprised and focus on your studies." Seeing the subject teacher arrive at the door, she walked over, exchanged a few words, and left.
The subject teacher cast a curious glance at Luo Zheng, didn't ask more, and began teaching as usual. Luo Zheng in the back carefully observed each student, morizing their appearances, expressions, and characteristics while listening to the lecture, reliving the school experience, feeling quite unique.
Unknowingly, the bell signaling the end of class rang, the teacher packed up and left, with students curiously glancing back at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng intentionally maintained a cold expression, noticing the little punk girl whispering with a group of girls, deciding not to approach as long as there was no danger, not wanting to interfere with the little punk girl's normal life.
"Commander, there's a bit of a matter at the bureau, I need to handle it, will be back by lunch and will bring you so food, what do you think?" Shi Feng's voice, carrying so regret, ca through the earpiece.
"Sure." Luo Zheng shielded his mouth with his hand and replied softly.
Shi Feng thanked him and drove off. As a senior officer at the municipal bureau, Shi Feng naturally had a lot on his plate. Luo Zheng understood this, and softly into the earpiece said, "Units, report your status."
"Everything normal at ho, surveillance equipnt set up, being installed and tested, expected to be fully operational before dinner, please advise," Lan Xing's words ca through the earpiece.
"Everything normal here as well, Mrs. Liu is at a eting, no suspicious activity," Lan Xing's voice reported.
"Everyone, be careful," Luo Zheng whispered. It's expected that things would be normal at the start; the enemy would also take ti to adjust, right? By the afternoon or evening, things might be different; we can't afford to be careless.
Soon after, the phone rang again, Luo Zheng continued auditing the class, appearing attentive while focusing entirely on the earpiece, diligently listening to exchanges of information from all sides. The earpiece was specially made, undetectable in the ear, and even if a teacher noticed, they wouldn't intervene due to prior notice.
A class passed peacefully, and after the teacher left again, several girls surrounded Luo Zheng, curiously examining him. One of them, with evident indignation, said, "Hey, mister, you're quite persistent, even stalking to school. I've seen toads coveting swan at, but I've never seen soone as thick-skinned as you, who won't let go of our Qingqing even at your age?"
"Hey, everybody listen up, this old guy is after our Qingqing. At his age, it's shaless. Let's report to the principal; how can such a scoundrel attend class with us?" Another female voice shouted.
Luo Zheng was startled, imdiately understanding that this was the little punk girl deliberately causing her classmates to hassle him. He leisurely leaned back, calmly observing the aggressive crowd without speaking. anwhile, other classmates, upon hearing the commotion, gathered around, whispering and inquiring about the situation, creating a slightly chaotic scene.
"Hey, I'm talking to you," a girl shouted, displeased.
"Yeah, at your age, have so sha," another female voice scolded.
Luo Zheng, having graduated high school, knew the ntality of people at this age and their psychology. He calmly looked at everyone, acting as if he hadn't heard. Speaking up would only invite a storm of accusations, and silence was the best choice. As a soldier, if he couldn't endure a bit of misunderstanding and grievance, how could he ever complete his mission?
Everyone was chattering, and seeing that Luo Zheng neither argued, explained, nor retorted, they grew even angrier, with harsh words spilling out, not out of deep hatred but from the fact that Luo Zheng's lack of reaction made them feel disregarded.
Luo Zheng stood firm like a Mountain Ridge, unmoved by the gentle breeze. The intermission passed amid accusations, and as the bell rang again, the students returned to their seats, furious, as if they were the wronged party. The little punk girl hid in the back, observing Luo Zheng, finding his thick skin as impenetrable as a city wall, ignoring everyone's criticism, which infuriated her even more, as if she had been the one criticized.
The teacher entered to start the class, and Luo Zheng continued to listen to the intelligence reports through the earpiece. As for the earlier insults, they were nothing to him. As a mber of the National Blade, how could he argue with a bunch of kids who didn't know the whole story? Near the end of the class, Shi Feng returned, saying he was waiting at the usual place.
As class ended, Luo Zheng's phone buzzed with a ssage notification. Checking it, he saw a ssage from his four old comrades from his forr Special Forces team: He Shan, Huang Lei, Jin Xin, and Zhang Bao had arrived, just got off the car, asking how to et up. Luo Zheng quickly replied, telling them to find a place near the school for a al.
With the arrival of old comrades, Luo Zheng felt more at ease. He ssaged Shi Feng, asking for help in hosting them. Just then, the bell for the next class rang, and Luo Zheng continued auditing the class. After waiting a bit, without a response from Shi Feng, which was unusual, a gut feeling of unease settled within him. He wanted to call or leave but feared disturbing the class, feeling an impatience building up.
