Chapter 67
"What's going on? Our underground parking garage is closed off. They won't even let our own cars in, so I had to drive three kilometers to park in the shopping mall's underground garage, and then I had to take a taxi here!"
Anna trotted to the door in her stilettos, fanning herself as she entered, complaining as she went in.
Teacher Zhou chimed in, "You're new here and don't know yet, but a notice has been issued: the Magic Fishing Academy has been attacked by terrorists, and three people have died!"
Before Anna could respond, a young female teacher who had just arrived behind her exclaimed dramatically, "My God! Three more have died? Is our academy cursed by bad luck, with teachers dying one after another?"
The male teacher sitting at the door waved his hand and said calmly, "Teacher Zhou didn't explain clearly either. It was those three terrorists who died. They ran into the Yu family's guard team. Their car exploded and they died on the spot. No teachers or students from our college were injured."
Anna frowned. "Wait a minute, the Royal Guard is in our academy's underground parking garage?"
Teacher Zhou was about to drink water when she heard Anna's question. She stopped drinking and continued, "The eldest young master of the Yu family, Ye Feng, drives himself to school, right? This morning, he had just gotten into his luxury car when he was kidnapped by terrorists. It's said that the Yu family's guards chased him all the way."
What a confusing logic! Anna didn't know what to say, and just grinned, "And then they chased us into our underground parking garage?"
After a few seconds of silence, Teacher Zhou, holding his water glass, looked bewildered. "...Your question makes me feel confused too. That's how the official news is released, which shows that official news is rubbish and doesn't make any sense at all!"
After Teacher Zhou finished speaking, everyone got into a heated discussion about finding the truth and started to drastically modify the official statement.
Anna walked through the rustling chatter, smoothing her disheveled hair as she went. She glanced back at her whispering colleagues, gave a cold laugh, and carried her custom-made lambskin bag to her workstation.
Before sitting down, he glanced around and asked Cheng Yang next to him, "Xia, Xinran, and Keli haven't arrived yet? Class starts in ten minutes. Or did something happen to Yefeng and they went over there?"
Cheng Yang was looking at the news about this incident. The report included photos of the aftermath of the incident at the garage. "Ye Feng is fine. Xin Ran came by and then went out again. Ke Li went with Director Ma to assist the police. Xia Xia, I haven't seen her yet. Should I make a call?"
Anna put down her bag, raised her wristband, and said, "I'll make the call."
"drop!"
When the call came in, Chi Xia had just finished showering at a hotel near the academy and was wearing a bathrobe when Ye Feng, sitting on the sofa, glanced at the bracelet on the coffee table, looked up at Chi Xia, and said, "It's Teacher Anna."
“Boom boom boom!”
"Hello, please pick up your package."
Ye Feng stood up. "The clothes have been brought up. I'll go get them."
Chi Xia put on the bracelet and answered the call, simultaneously taking the paper bag Ye Feng had just received from Flash Delivery, and then pushed Ye Feng out the door. "Hey, Sister Nana..."
Ye Feng suddenly appeared at the doorway. The deliveryman hadn't gone far and saw Ye Feng immediately following him out. Thinking something was wrong, he stopped and stared at Ye Feng. Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the man. His expression was clearly not good. It was better to avoid trouble, so the man quickly turned and left.
Ye Feng took a breath, turned around and leaned against the warm yellow wall next to him, tilting his head back to recall the series of events that had happened that morning.
The luxury car that the three thugs drove into the Demon Fishing Academy belonged to him. The three men did indeed ambush him halfway as he was driving to the academy, subdued him with weapons, and forced him into the car, making him continue driving to the underground parking garage of the Demon Fishing Academy.
Ye Feng wasn't the type to panic and lose his composure in the face of trouble. He calmly let the other party get into the car and continued driving as they requested. Only after figuring out their intention to use him as a hostage to blackmail Chi Xia did he begin to unleash his hidden talent: Flash.
After calculating the distance between his car and the surrounding vehicles, he disappeared from the clutches of the thugs and appeared in the back seat of a car next to him. The thugs panicked for a moment, but they quickly realized that it was Ye Feng's talent at work. The three of them immediately adjusted their strategy, using Ye Feng's car as bait. They would then use the private domain to steal Ye Feng's private account and call Chi Xia to lure her over.
Ye Feng, a living, breathing person, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling the car owner who nearly rear-ended him. Ye Feng used his wealth to commandeer the other car and quickly caught up with the thugs.
Because he had to persuade the car owner, he switched places with the car owner to get the other party out of the car, and contacted the Royal Guard. It took some time. By the time he frantically chased after the car, the other party had already left him almost a block ahead.
Running red lights all the way, like a mad cheetah, it almost caused traffic to go out of control. Fortunately, the Imperial Guard arrived in time and issued an emergency order.
Ye Feng finally caught up, and thankfully Chi Xia was unharmed.
Or perhaps, even if he didn't make it, given Chi Xia's abilities, those three probably wouldn't have been able to achieve their goal.
"Crunch."
The door opened, and Chi Xia, who was dressed, came out. "Let's go."
The two walked side by side down the hotel corridor. Ye Feng glanced at the calm and composed person beside her, who seemed completely unaffected by the confrontation with the three thugs. "Who exactly are you? Those people came for you."
Chi Xia smiled faintly, "Scared?"
"You know what I'm talking about." Ye Feng stamped his foot, his light-colored eyes flashing with intense light. "You're willing to step on me to get rid of you. What exactly have you been doing these past few days while I've been investigating Lin Keli? Is Zhang Peng's death related to you?"
The child's intuition was quite accurate. Chi Xia raised her wristband and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. There are still 7 minutes and 21 seconds left before class starts. If we run to the classroom now, we will still make it in time."
Ye Feng seemed not to have heard Chi Xia's previous sentence. He stared intently at Chi Xia, clearly somewhat angry. "You've never considered me your comrade, have you? You never share your plans with me. You only treat me as your underling to handle minor problems and clean up the mess!"
“I don’t mind you thinking this way, since you’re a younger brother. It’s better than the rumored boyfriend in a teacher-student relationship.” Chi Xia raised her hand and gently patted his head. “Little brother, don’t be silly.”
"Who's your brother? Who's causing trouble?"
"Alright. But Ye Feng, we're really going to be late. How about we have a competition? The loser has to do one thing for the other."
"...Are you serious? You'll agree to anything?"
"Can."
Ye Feng's lips slowly curled upwards. "You said it yourself, what are we competing in?"
Chi Xia had already dashed out, shouting, "Let's see who gets to the classroom first!"
Ye Feng chased after him, shouting, "Teacher? Have you no shame?!"
"Winning is enough, why worry about saving face!" That person was already far ahead.
"bite!"
The bell rang to signal the start of class, and the two rushed into the classroom one after the other, just as the bell rang. All the students were stunned, but the two remained calm. One casually walked towards the back of the classroom, while the other stepped onto the podium.
Remembering she hadn't brought her textbook, Chi Xia stepped down from the podium, grabbed one from the first desk, and looked at the two dumbfounded students, saying calmly, "You two take one."
"..." The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Attend class."
The reason they are called professional killers is because their "work unit" has given them special training, such as memory training, which involves sifting through massive amounts of information from multiple channels within a limited time to improve their sensitivity and overcome the limitations of integrated point, line, and surface memory.
Even this Ms. Xia, who is standing before us, managed to deliver a lesson efficiently and completely without her own textbooks and lesson plans.
After announcing the end of get out of class, Chi Xia stepped down from the podium. Before leaving, she glanced back at Ye Feng, who had a dark expression on his face and was glaring at her. Chi Xia winked at him and smiled before walking out of the classroom.
Dealing with such a seemingly strong but actually weak and naive teenager might be a bit unfair, but it doesn't affect the fact that I won the game and felt happy.
As I walked back to my office alone, Xin Ran also happened to be returning from outside. He had a class in the second period and rushed back just in time.
The teachers who had taught the first class were also heading to their offices in twos and threes. Some were still talking about the big events that had happened that morning. The two of them silently walked through the crowd and returned to their seats.
"drop!"
Xin Ran sent a message: That VIP nurse not only had all her organs replaced, but I also had Xun Jiang test her facial integrity and confirmed that she had undergone plastic surgery, almost a complete face transplant. It seems like she's trying to cover it up.
Judging from the photos, her age matches the age of the woman you got from Zhang Peng.
Chi Xia: There's an 80% chance it's her.
Xin Ran: My judgment is the same as yours.
Anna and Cheng Yang walked into the classroom and headed towards Chi Xia. Anna called out, "Honey, it's the weekend tomorrow, let's have some fun tonight?"
Chi Xia: "Sister Nana, maybe next time, I'm busy this week."
Anna reached out and hooked her chin, leaning down with a seductive look in her eyes. "What's up? We're meeting tonight, but you can't make it? Are you going on a long trip?"
"There's no need for my brain to work so fast," Chi Xia said with a smile. "Yes, we need to go to the old capital."
Xin Ran and Chi Xia had already made plans on their way to work this morning, and after finishing their classes, they would head directly to the old capital.
Anna beamed and placed her textbook on Chi Xia's desk. "The Old Capital is great! Why don't we go together? I've been wanting to visit the Nameless City in the Old Capital for a long time. I want to experience the magical potions there."
As she spoke, Anna patted Cheng Yang on the shoulder, "Come on, the magic potion is more fun with more people."
Cheng Yang leaned against the table behind the aisle, rubbing his forehead: "Beautiful sister, do you even listen to what you're saying? That stuff can't be used carelessly, it might affect your intelligence. The old capital's security is already bad, and the basement of Weiming City is rumored to be a 'ghost prison' where no one can return. As the saying goes, 'You have a road to heaven but you don't take it, you have no gate to hell but you barge in.' Don't go, everyone go home."
Anna pinched Cheng Yang's arm in annoyance, then slapped it hard in frustration. "Why are you acting like a seventy or eighty-year-old man? You're ruining the whole learning path at the Magic Fisheries Academy. All you do is go to class or stay at home all day. And now that it's finally the weekend, you're saying a bunch of annoying things! Fine, don't go then. I'll invite your nephew along. He's much more interesting than you!"
Chi Xia's gaze passed over the two of them and landed on Xin Ran. Xin Ran smiled wryly. The two of them didn't go to the old capital for fun; they were clearly chasing after Zhao Nan. Once they got to the old capital, they had many ways to use their influence. If he really was an informant, they wouldn't have let him come back alive.
Furthermore, it's time to investigate the abandoned warehouse where the music was used to deal with the Dawn Assassins. Now that land belongs to Chi Xia, we have a legitimate reason to investigate.
But it seemed that the plan was about to be disrupted by an enthusiastic colleague.
Cheng Yang sighed deeply, "Fine, then, Xia, when are you leaving?"
Chi Xia gave up resisting, "Xin Ran and I are planning to leave right after school today."
Anna frowned. "Huh? So rushed? I didn't bring anything. But it's okay, we can buy whatever we need when we get there. Cheng Yang, you and Ke Li make an appointment, I'll go share this good news with my Lin Xiang."
Anna picked up her textbook and happily returned to her seat. Lin Xiang also came, making things even more interesting. Not only did he bring a group of lazy colleagues, but they also called on the composers of their arch-rival's piece.
Chi Xia's gaze drifted towards Xin Ran, who covered his mouth and smiled, giving her a thumbs up while mouthing: "Brother Xun Jiang."
Chi Xia nodded. One, two, three, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this trip is more like an autumn outing.
