Lu Yao's words made Xiao Feng's originally relaxed state of mind turn heavy all of a sudden.
Xiao Feng felt it was necessary to straighten out his thoughts again. What was his reason for thinking it wasn't a coincidence?
It was based on the premise that Su Yuzhuo and Xue Nuofu were enemies, so he took it for granted that it was impossible for them to collude to act together in front of him.
However, the most impossible things in the world are that there are no impossibilities. Even if Xue Nuofu and Su Yuzhuo have deep-seated grudges, it doesn't an they won't unite to plot against him.
At that mont, Lu Yao looked at the phone screen and said, "That's not right, the teorological station issued an ergency warning fifteen minutes before the storm, so no one should have known in advance."
This made Lu Yao also very puzzled, could it really be a coincidence?
Xiao Feng looked up at the stars in the sky, "Tomorrow will be good weather."
Lu Yao was slightly stunned, then nodded, "The weather forecast does indeed say it will be sunny."
After speaking, seeing that Xiao Feng was still looking up at the sky, she couldn't help but look up as well. The stars across the sky seed to be winking, brightening and dimming, magnificent and brilliant!
After observing for a mont, Lu Yao's gaze beca distant, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "When I was little, my grandma often held to count the stars and said if we could see many stars at night, the next day would be clear."
"Brother Yanhuang, is this why you say tomorrow will be sunny?"
Xiao Feng did not deny it, "It's a simple common knowledge, ancient star-watching is pretty much based on this principle. Scientifically speaking, clouds are ford from water vapor, and when the vapor reaches a certain level, it turns into rain that falls to the ground."
After a brief pause, Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "Do you rember what the weather was like the night before the heavy rain?"
Lu Yao furrowed her brows, trying hard to recall but eventually shook her head, "I can't rember, but... Brother Yanhuang, you don't think that soone stargazed and knew in advance it would rain heavily the next day, do you?"
As a talented girl with solid skills, Lu Yao didn't disbelieve in "stargazing," but rather believed that what the ancients could observe and summarize, modern technology could already achieve.
This was also why, after learning that the teorological station issued the storm warning fifteen minutes in advance, she chose to doubt her previous statent.
Xiao Feng said slowly, "It may not be stargazing, it might be so other way, but anyway, it's always good to be cautious. Whether or not Su Yuzhuo is acting, let's just assu she is."
"Mm." Lu Yao nodded vigorously, agreeing with Xiao Feng's perspective.
"Alright, go back to sleep then." Xiao Feng patted Lu Yao's shoulder and smiled, "Take the ti to hone your skills, don't dwell on unnecessary thoughts. Even if there's no place for you in the world soday, there will always be a place by my side for you."
"Okay!"
Lu Yao agreed, blushing, then stood up and left. But as she turned away, she couldn't control her expression and burst into laughter, almost skipping away like a child who got their favorite toy.
It was a long ti after Lu Yao departed before Xiao Feng left the bonfire.
Nonetheless, he still couldn't figure it out. If it was an act, what exactly was Su Yuzhuo aiming for?
After all, the injuries on her body were real, and in that situation, even if he'd arrived half an hour later, it could have been too late. The cost was undeniably great.
Paying such a high price for a play, Xiao Feng couldn't help but anticipate the mont the "dagger hidden in the map" was revealed.
...
Early the next morning, each team successively erged from their tents, lined up neatly in their respective camps after freshening up.
It was obvious that there were significantly fewer people today compared to yesterday.
This was because the six teams eliminated in the first round had already returned, leaving those who were still going to compete in the second round.
While having breakfast, the captain of the Guangyang Team ca over: "Captain Miao, could I have a word?"
Everyone's gaze turned instantly to see a dium-height person, slightly chubby, with a rather common face, but his smile gave off a friendly feeling.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but wonder to himself, could it be that this Guangyang Team captain has taken a liking to Miao Yueqian?
"Everyone, keep eating." Miao Yueqian said, casually grabbing a napkin to wipe her mouth, and followed the man to a spot not far away.
"Hello, I'm Qi Long, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit in Guangyang City. I've long heard of Captain Miao," Qi Long said politely.
Miao Yueqian shook hands with him and got straight to the point, "What does Captain Qi need from ?"
"It's not really a big deal," Qi Long smiled a bit awkwardly, rubbing his hands, "It's just that if you get the first draw priority today, could you have soone else drawing the lot?"
"…" Miao Yueqian's mouth twitched, so the other person ca all the way just to not let Wang Lubo draw lots again?
After a brief contemplation, Miao Yueqian said, "I understand Captain Qi's intentions, but the draw is computer-assigned randomly, it doesn't really matter who draws, does it?"
Qi Long beca a bit perplexed, as long as the Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team don't et this ti, both sides advance safely to the top three, benefiting both teams.
Besides, he was not trying to create so unfair advantage, just wanted a different person to draw lots, why did it seem like the other party was not agreeing?
At this thought, Qi Long's tone changed, "Captain Miao, let make this clear, it doesn't an the Guangyang Team is afraid of the Jiangcheng Team. If we must clash in the top three, we're ready for it any ti!"
With that, Qi Long turned and left, "Farewell!"
Miao Yueqian couldn't help but feel amused, who draws whom is not up to any one person, why does it seem like she can choose the opponent at will?
It's truly a remarkable thing. Both the Guangyang Team and the already out New Wen Team thought Wang Lubo was unlucky, subconsciously ignoring that the draw was computer-randomized.
"What's up?" Xiao Feng teased with a smile, "Did you receive a lot of money to throw the match?"
"Brother Feng, don't say such things, Qianqian could never be that kind of person." Saying this, he looked at Miao Yueqian and smiled, "Am I right, Qianqian?"
"…" Miao Yueqian was montarily speechless, not sure whether to tell Wang Lubo the real reason Qi Long approached her.
