Chapter 448: So Dark
Soon, Jiang Huai drank the soup in his bowl and looked at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu put down the empty bowl awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Hey - Teacher Jiang, why were you there just now?" Yan Yu finally spoke.
Jiang Huai's eyes wavered. "I watched Leng Ning leave the City Lord's Mansion."
"When did you make the appointment with her?" Jiang Huai asked back.
Yan Yu's face suddenly became nervous.
"Just-before. You-were following us?"
Jiang Huai immediately looked at Yan Yu, his emotion undetectable.
Yan Yu's heart was pounding, and he told himself to hold on. Maybe he was just overthinking it, and Teacher Jiang definitely didn't find out about Han Yue.
"No. I just came here to wait for you to come back." Jiang Huai finally said.
The tension on Yan Yu's face suddenly disappeared, and he felt relaxed.
"What is your relationship with Leng Ning now?" Jiang Huai looked at Yan Yu with a smile, with a bit of concern that only an elder could have.
Yan Yu was stunned, and suddenly realized what Jiang Huai meant, and his face turned a little red.
"Just friends. You're overthinking it." Then he said.
"During the day, when the young master is here, some things are hard to say. So I asked her to walk around the street and chat after the young master left."
"Oh?" Jiang Huai smiled, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
"Really!" Jiang Huai said hurriedly.
"Leng Ning said that the person she wanted to cooperate with the most when she came to Kuanglan was actually you!" Yan Yu said directly to avoid Jiang Huai from continuing to doubt and explore him.
Teacher Jiang was the person he respected the most and the person he was determined to follow. He had to tell him about this in advance and persuade him.
There was a gleam in Jiang Huai's eyes.
"But her cooperation is conditional." Yan Yu continued.
"What conditions?" Jiang Huai's face was serious, and he no longer had the gossipy mood he had just had.
"She wants Kuanglan to become a subsidiary of the Thunder Base."
Jiang Huai's face suddenly darkened.
"It's not just Kuang Lan, there are other bases in City A as well. Young Master Lei wants to unite all the bases, gather strength to purify City A and create a safe zone." Yan Yu looked at Jiang Huai excitedly.
Jiang Huai's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became deep.
"Young Master Lei has munitions, and Leng Ning can provide enough food. With the joint efforts of all the psychics in the base, this may be achievable!" Yan Yu said to Jiang Huai, eagerly hoping that Jiang Huai would agree to Leng Ning's request.
"This time Leng Ning came to Kuanglan to recruit people, the second thing he wanted to do was to win you over." Yan Yu looked at Jiang Huai with burning eyes, "If they will be swallowed up by the Thunder Base sooner or later, the result will be different if we take the initiative to surrender."
Jiang Huai suddenly looked at Yan Yu.
The look was so sharp that Yan Yu immediately shut up.
After a while, Jiang Huai finally sighed.
"Why didn't she tell me these words in person?" he said with a heavy voice.
"What do you think, Teacher Jiang?" Suddenly a female voice came from the door.
Surprisingly—it’s Leng Ning.
Yan Yu's face lit up with joy.
Jiang Huai was shocked at first, then he quickly asked the boss to serve hot soup.
Leng Ning didn't hesitate and walked straight to the table and sat down.
"Why are you--?" Yan Yu pointed at the door and asked in surprise.
Then he realized that what he said was disrespectful and shut up again.
Why are these two people so elusive?
So, Leng Ning said those words to her on purpose just now outside? Because she knew that Teacher Jiang would talk to him soon, and he would take the initiative to persuade Teacher Jiang.
Looking at Leng Ning, who was smiling gently, Yan Yu felt fearful again. So sinister...
