Gu Zhilin left the office and went to find Wen Yili.
When I met Wen Yili, he seemed fine, clearly unaffected by what had happened in the past two days.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zhilin asked gently.
"Brother Zhilin, are the recent rumors true?" Wen Yili asked.
Gu Zhilin didn't intend to hide it and nodded, saying, "It's true. What? Are you scared?"
Wen Yili shook his head: "No, but... I noticed that those students who may have taken drugs seem to be in a hurry. They are the ones who instigated this riot among the students. It seems they are planning to take advantage of the chaos to escape."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin was somewhat surprised: "Escape? Are they planning to desert?"
Wen Yili nodded: "It's not easy to get into the combat academy, and it's not easy to desert either. If you escape and get caught, the punishment will be even more severe. I don't understand why they would run away."
Gu Zhilin frowned upon hearing this: "Li Sang, who is behind them, has been arrested, and the logistics director has also been arrested. So, if they escape... they have no way out. What are they trying to do?"
Wen Yili didn't know either: "So I thought I'd tell you so that the military can prepare as soon as possible."
"Strange, why didn't General Lu come with you?" Wen Yili asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin was also taken aback. He was also surprised that the other party had not come with him.
“He’s busy with other things right now. I’ll go back and tell him to be careful at the academy and not let those students harm you.” Gu Zhilin said worriedly, “By the way, remember to keep the amulet I gave you with you close to your body.”
Wen Yili nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhilin, I carry it with me at all times." He patted his chest.
It indicates that the object is in front of one's chest.
Seeing this, Gu Zhilin felt relieved: "Then you should go back quickly, so that no one finds out. I'm going to find Lu Jin'an now."
Wen Yili nodded, and as Gu Zhilin was about to leave, he said again, "Brother Zhilin, I think I'm walking a little slowly, but wait for me. Once I start running, I'll definitely be able to catch up with you."
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a moment. He hadn't noticed anything wrong before, but after Lu Jin'an's confession incident.
Gu Zhilin suddenly had an epiphany about relationships; at that moment, he seemed to realize that Wen Yili had different feelings for him.
But it seemed that nothing he said was right.
So he could only smile and nod, then quickly left.
Having lived in the 21st century for over two decades, his love life was completely empty; no one, male or female, had ever shown him any special feelings.
I never expected that I would suddenly become popular a thousand years later.
Gu Zhilin felt a little helpless.
She was thinking of ways to nip Wen Yili's feelings in the bud.
Otherwise, I should find a time to formally accept him as my apprentice. After I accept him as an apprentice, he can't possibly betray his master and ancestors.
Thinking of this, he returned to Lu Jin'an's current office.
Upon entering the office, I saw Lu Jin'an sitting in his office chair, seemingly using his AI to look up some information.
Her serious expression is particularly charming.
At this moment, Gu Zhilin suddenly realized: "After learning about Lu Jin'an's feelings, I have almost never had the same thought as I did with Wen Yili just now, to cut off the other party's thoughts from the root."
"You're back?" Lu Jin'an noticed Gu Zhilin as soon as he arrived at the door. She originally intended to pretend that she didn't care, but she found that after he arrived, he did not go in but stood at the door and stared at her thoughtfully.
Normally, he wouldn't mind if Gu Zhilin looked at him more often.
But after meeting Wen Yili, he couldn't sit still any longer, so he simply spoke up.
Gu Zhilin also snapped out of his reverie at those words: "Yes, Wen Yili said that this turmoil was planned and instigated by those students who had taken the drugs. They wanted to escape from the Combat Academy."
"Escape?" Lu Jin'an looked like he'd seen a ghost: "Even if you took the medicine, the worst that can happen is that you'll be expelled from the academy and never be able to join the army again. But if you escape from the academy..."
"That would be treated as desertion, which means jail time. Why are they doing this?" Lu Jin'an hadn't expected to receive such news.
Gu Zhilin nodded: "I don't understand either, and now that Li Sang has been arrested, it's no use even if they escape!"
“Even if Li Sang hadn’t been caught, once they became deserters, the Li family wouldn’t care about them. So it’s clear they’re not going to find Li Sang.” Lu Jin’an said, thinking as he spoke, “Unless they have greater security outside, they won’t just run away like this.”
Gu Zhilin thought so too; "So should we arrest them now?"
Lu Jin'an said with a serious expression, "Let me consult with General Zhu first to see if we can get Li Sang to hand over the list immediately."
As he spoke, he began to contact General Zhu through the AI.
When Zhu Jiangshuai received the news, he was also quite surprised.
Fortunately, Li Sang was cooperative and quickly sent over the list of teachers. As for the students, he had no idea how many students had been drugged.
But that doesn't matter. As long as we catch the teacher, they'll definitely know best which students in their class have used the drugs.
With the previous selection results, we can basically cover everything.
After receiving the list, Lu Jin'an immediately instructed Jiang Jiyang to send more people to arrest the suspects.
He also instructed Dean Lin to report the situation directly.
Dean Lin hadn't expected it to be related to Martians, so he didn't dare delay.
But I was still a little uneasy. After all, the trainees were in such a state now. Wouldn't it be even more chaotic if they found out that the Martians had infiltrated their ranks?
Gu Zhilin frowned upon hearing this. According to their previous thinking, the Martians had not truly infiltrated their ranks, but... now it seemed that things were really hard to say.
Before he could even voice his thoughts, Lu Jin'an said, "The Combat Academy is like a reserve force. Don't reserve soldiers even have this much resilience?"
Upon hearing this, Dean Lin no longer hesitated.
The incident was immediately announced over the loudspeaker, stating that some students from the Li family's Martian Statue Academy were selling banned drugs.
The military will now take action to arrest people. We hope that the trainees will not panic and will be able to help the military arrest people if necessary.
Wait until the announcement is finished.
Gu Zhilin then revealed his thoughts.
"You mean there are Martians among those students who took the drugs? How is that possible? Martians aren't parasites, and they can't disguise themselves or transform. How could they possibly impersonate students?" Dean Lin didn't believe Gu Zhilin's theory.
Lu Jin'an initially thought it was impossible, but seeing Gu Zhilin's furrowed brows, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you Taoists have a way?"
"Perhaps you modern people don't know? In ancient times, there was a term called 'body snatching'." Gu Zhilin said in a deep voice, "In terms that you can understand, it means using brainwaves to invade a human's brainwaves. Although the body is still human, the mind is that of a Martian."
