More than an hour later, Zhang Zhihao returned with the girl's body and her mother.

I would go to my dorm room, lie on my bed, and relax my mind.

Jingjie and Fei Lichao came to my room not long after, seemingly wanting to discuss the university in front of me.

Fei Lichao wanted to clear out the university in front, but it wasn't an easy task, so he came over to discuss it with them.

Actually, we had considered the university before Zhou Liang's incident, but we had to give up because it was too difficult and Pu Weichao didn't think it was a good idea.

Now that this old issue has been brought up again, I don't know what to do.

After all, I'm not Pu Weichao; I don't have that kind of planning and strategizing ability.

Fei Lichao pulled up a stool and sat down, saying, "Get up, let's talk business."

I turned to look at Fei Lichao and Sister Jing sitting on the edge of the bed and asked a question: "Before we get down to business, I'd like to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Sister Jing looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I said, "Why do you think Zhang Zhihao wants us to go to Jiangbei so much? He came up to me again when I was on the rooftop earlier and brought it up again, this time using the girl who just died as an excuse. I really don't know what he's thinking."

Fei Lichao asked, "How many times has this kid brought this up with you?"

I said helplessly, "For the past two weeks, he has brought this up almost every time he comes over, and I have refused him every time. I guess he will say the same thing to me next time he comes over."

"Why do you think he's so insistent on us going to Jiangbei?"

Sister Jing shook her head and didn't say anything.

Fei Lichao said nonchalantly, "Who cares? Let the kid keep talking. Actually, I don't care. Whether we go or not is fine. Even if they try to restrict our movements in Jiangbei, we can just leave again."

Sister Jing retorted, "Once you go in, it's not that easy to get out."

Fei Lichao laughed and said, "Lu Jing, don't be a coward! At worst, we'll just kill them."

Jing rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to this guy, and then said to me, "Xiaonan, do you think it's possible that Xiaohao wants our help with something, but he can't tell us directly, and he can only tell us after we join Jiangbei?"

I frowned slightly. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible, but unlikely. If Zhang Zhihao really needed our help, he wouldn't use this method to stall me.

I looked at Sister Jing and said, "Or rather, he might be hiding something from us. Judging from his previous behavior, he seemed a little anxious, but not really anxious."

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Fei Lichao didn't understand.

Actually, I didn't understand what I meant by saying that; it was just a feeling.

I shook my head: "I don't know. I just have a feeling that although Zhang Zhihao always tries to persuade me to go to Jiangbei every time he comes, he has never forced us. Even this time, he only said that he would not give up, but he never used any things or his own things to force us to go."

Sister Jing nodded, then said with a sudden realization, "Now that you mention it, it's really true. If Zhang Zhihao really wanted us to come, he could have used his own difficulties to lure us there, but he's never done that. Why?"

I raised an eyebrow and shook my head. "We don't know. Maybe he has his own reasons. Maybe he feels that forcing us to go would be unfair to us."

Sister Jing sighed and shook her head slightly, "This child has completely changed since he went to Jiangbei."

Fei Lichao said, "Alright, alright, stop talking about Jiangbei. We're not going there anyway. I came here to discuss the secret safe house with you guys, so don't change the subject."

I nodded, lay on my side on the bed, looked at him, and said, "Go ahead and say it."

Jingjie looked at him and said, "Go ahead and speak."

"..." Fei Lichao looked at the two of us with an unhappy expression.

"I don't know what to say!"

I smiled. "Take your time, no rush."

...

At this moment, in the school.

Cui Xiaofei patrols the edge of the school.

She walked slowly along the edge of the school, holding a black umbrella, a machete at her waist, and a pistol in her hand. She'd been there for almost a month, and the daily training, rain or shine, had tanned her once fair skin.

As a girl, she cherished her skin, but compared to the difficulties of survival, she put aside the issue of her skin getting darker.

Although her skin was a little darker, she looked much healthier, and when she looked in the mirror, she felt that she had matured significantly, which was the change she had always wanted.

The little bit of fat on her stomach disappeared after a long period of consistent training, and she even developed abs, something she never dared to imagine before!

So she was glad she stayed at the school. It seemed less crowded and dangerous, but it was much safer than Jiangbei. Several other people had come here before, and they said they had a hard time there. They had to work almost every day, and if they didn't work, they wouldn't have food or a place to stay.

After hearing this, Cui Xiaofei felt even more that her initial choice was wise.

At least here, there's no need to work. Although the training is a bit tiring, it's for my own good!
