"Why hasn't Lele come out yet?" Qiao Meng asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry about her, she'll know to come out when she's hungry," Yang Yue said dismissively.

Chen Yu held a bowl of mutton soup and savored it slowly, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

"I'll go check." Qiao Meng was a little worried, so she put down her chopsticks and ran to Lin Lele's room.

"Knock knock knock~" She gently knocked on the door, "Lele, dinner is ready."

"Knock knock knock~"

…………

After a long while, Lin Lele cautiously opened the door a crack and asked Qiao Meng in a low voice, "Is Chen Yu still here?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Meng glanced towards the restaurant and noticed that Chen Yu was not at the table. She then truthfully replied, "Mr. Chen Yu is not here right now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lele cautiously peeked out, looked around, and, finding that Chen Yu was indeed nowhere to be seen, breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Meng asked, puzzled.

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing, let me tell you..." Lin Lele said, then suddenly realized something was wrong, so she quickly changed her words, "I'm not talking to you anymore, let's eat, I'm starving."

As Lin Lele spoke, she tiptoed toward the restaurant like a thief.

"Lele, come here, come here. This is a special stewed black-boned chicken with angelica root that Xiao Qiao prepared for you. It's very nourishing," Yang Yue greeted warmly.

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Lin Lele quickly held up a finger.

At the same time, I was a little puzzled. Why was Yang Yue being so enthusiastic today?

Seeing Yang Yue almost obsequiously serve her a bowl of "Angelica Stewed Black Chicken," Lin Lele looked at her strangely and asked, "What's this? You're not messing with me, are you?"

"It will help you recover, hehe~" Yang Yue said with a smile.

Lin Lele's heart tightened upon hearing this: "Oh no, have we been discovered?"

"By the way, I noticed you were walking a little unnaturally earlier. Were you injured? Don't you have medicine in your room? Did you apply it?" Yang Yue asked.

Upon hearing Yang Yue's words, Lin Lele's eyes widened immediately.

She remembered how Qiao Meng had limped around the morning before last, just like she was now. She had even kindly asked Qiao Meng if she needed any medicine to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Combined with Qiao Meng's unusual behavior—leaving Chen Yu's room in her pajamas early in the morning, claiming she was "discussing something"—she was acting strangely.

The day before that, Yang Yue was also "discussing things" in Chen Yu's room.

She naively asked why she wasn't called.

She clearly remembered Yang Yue saying to her, "Maybe I'll come looking for you tomorrow."

The answer is obvious.

Lin Lele glared angrily at Yang Yue: "You're the one who's up to this?"

"Hehe! What? You don't like it?" Yang Yue did not deny it.

"You... I'll fight you to the death!" Lin Lele said, about to strike.

Qiao Meng quickly stopped her: "Yueyue is doing this for our own good."

"Oh! I see, Xiao Qiao, you were involved in what happened last night, weren't you?" Lin Lele suddenly realized.

Qiao Meng dared not respond.

"Haha~!" Lin Lele suddenly burst into laughter, "So, I'm innocent after all?"

"Hmm~?" Yang Yue and Qiao Meng exchanged a glance, both looking confused.

Lin Lele ignored them, then suddenly stood up and ran to Chen Yu's door.

"Clap clap clap~"

"Chen Yu, come out now, I'm innocent."

"Sir, come out quickly! I've found the mastermind behind this! We're all innocent!"

"Clap clap clap~"

Lin Lele kept banging on the door, her face full of excitement and eagerness.

Chen Yu reluctantly opened the door.

Lin Lele recounted the truth she had discovered to Chen Yu once again.

Chen Yu nodded blankly.

"Hehe~! I knew it! How could I do something like that? We were all tricked by them!" Lin Lele said with a grin.

"What are you two laughing at? I'm not done with you two yet!" Chen Yu scolded Qiao Meng and Yang Yue in a serious manner.

Then he said to Lin Lele, "Get ready, you're coming out with me."

"Mmm-hmm." Lin Lele nodded repeatedly, glancing at Qiao Meng and Yang Yue with disdain. "I don't want to stay with these two despicable people anymore."

As she spoke, she went back to her room to change her clothes.

After changing her clothes, she quickly downed the bowl of "Angelica Stewed Black Chicken" that she hadn't finished earlier, as if it were a victory drink to proclaim her triumph.

He then followed Chen Yu into the elevator with an air of superiority.

Only Qiao Meng and Yang Yue were left completely bewildered.

What's going on? This Lin Lele seems completely oblivious to the important point!

…………

Chen Yu and Lin Lele took the elevator to the top of the mountain and retrieved the Apapa attack helicopter from the other-dimensional space.

Under Lin Lele's control, the helicopter roared into the sky, like a soaring eagle cutting through the gloomy horizon.

Sitting in the helicopter, Chen Yu felt uneasy. Lin Lele's behavior was too strange. Would she be thinking of taking him down with her?

However, his doubts were quickly dispelled.

The helicopter landed steadily in the central square at the foot of the stone hill of the "Tianyu Base".

At this moment, Li Xiubo was standing on a high platform in the central square, delivering a passionate speech to the gathered crowd.

When they saw Chen Yu land in an Apapa armed helicopter, everyone present was shocked. Chen Yu had gone on a killing spree a couple of days ago, and many of them had been there. The intense gunfire had echoed throughout the entire "Tianyu Base".

Faced with Chen Yu's sudden arrival, especially since he arrived in an armed helicopter, how could they not panic?
