He kept saying, "Welcome, a warm welcome! Wang Xiaolan, you're the top scorer in this exam! It's such an honor for all our teachers and students to have such an outstanding student choose to study at our school! Do you know? Because of your arrival, our campus has instantly become brighter!"
Liang Qiushi's words were like a bolt of thunder across the sky, booming in the ears of everyone present.
For a moment, the previously noisy and bustling scene fell silent, and the eyes of all the teachers and students were focused on Wang Xiaolan. They were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape, as if they could fit an egg. Their stunned expressions were as if they were under a spell, and they were unable to recover for a long time.
Especially those freshmen who had just spared no effort to slander Wang Xiaolan were now blushing and ashamed. They felt a burning pain on their faces, as if they had been slapped hard in the face.
It happened that Zeng Qiang and Yu Wenlin came to the scene with Dabao and Xiaobao in their arms and saw this scene.
When Yu Wenlin saw his daughter being praised by the school leaders, he immediately smiled and kept saying, "Old Zeng, look at how outstanding our daughter is."
Zeng Qiang perfunctorily dealt with his wife's words while looking at Liang Qiushi with a frown. He had another reason for coming to the school. They had received a tip-off that a spy from an island nation had successfully infiltrated the school and held a key position.
Last night, I got a photo of this person through information sent by the border defense force. I didn't expect that this person turned out to be the principal of my daughter's school. Fortunately, he had told Wang Xiaolan in advance to omit her sensitive information in the family member column and asked her to fill in her previous family information.
In this way, he could protect Wang Xiaolan and his two little nephews from the threat of enemy spies.
…
Far in the primeval forests of the southwest.
Zhao Lihan took out a piece of paper and a sharpened pencil from his bag. He carefully observed every corner of the cave. Relying on his keen observation and years of experience, he began to outline the general outline of the interior of the cave on the paper.
Over time, the topography of the cave's interior gradually became clear on the blueprint. He not only mapped the cave's passages, forks, and caves, but also marked areas of potential danger and the locations of hidden treasures. Every stroke of his pen reflected his meticulous attention to detail and dedication to the task.
As the final stroke was made, Zhao Lihan nodded with satisfaction. He raised his hand, glanced at the scuffed watch on his wrist, and calculated the time until his comrades arrived. After confirming everything was correct, he carefully folded the precious blueprint, placed it in his shoulder bag, and fastened the buckle.
Zhao Lihan then stood up, dusted himself off, and went deeper into the cave, beginning to check every detail to see if he had missed anything. He used his flashlight to illuminate dark corners, checking for undiscovered passages or hidden traps.
When he came to the entrance of Yamada's cave and heard the cry for help from inside, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, this guy is awake. He ran in quickly. When Yamada saw Zhao Lihan, he was also stunned. Before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by Zhao Lihan.
Zhao Lihan tightened the ropes around him and gave him another stitch in the neck. He then went to the other caves and gave those who were still unconscious another stitch, leaving them unconscious again.
After completing this series of tasks, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the cave entrance with steady steps. As he reached the cave entrance, the strong and dazzling light from outside suddenly shone in, causing him to squint. After a moment of adjustment, he realized that the sky was already bright, and the sun was high in the sky, casting a warm light.
He looked at the vast forest outside the cave and thought to himself, "It's been a while since Daya left here to deliver the message. I wonder if she has arrived at her destination successfully?"
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and anxiety. After all, the message being delivered this time was crucial, and if it wasn't delivered in time, it could lead to unexpected consequences.
However, at this moment, apart from guarding the cave, he could only pray silently to bring Daya the news.
At this moment, in the southwest of the primeval forest, several suspicious-looking people were asking passers-by something. The passers-by just shook their heads vigilantly and walked away. As soon as the passers-by left, these people opened the drawings and looked at them for a while. After discussing, several people went into the mountains separately.
On a slightly flatter spot on the cliff face of Mountain X, squad leader Tian Fugui sat restlessly, checking his watch from time to time and constantly blaming himself, "Why hasn't Zhao Lihan arrived yet? It's almost time, and he's still nowhere to be seen. If I catch him, I'm going to beat him up."
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyong, who had just returned from his shift, felt dissatisfied and unwilling to accept the situation when he heard the squad leader threaten to punish Zhao Lihan.
He frowned, took a step forward, looked fearlessly at the squad leader, and shouted, "Squad Leader, Brother Zhao isn't even here right now, and you're talking about beating him up? That's just empty talk! You're just talking big. I don't think you'd have the guts to beat him up if you really met Zhao Lihan in person!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoyong raised his chin provocatively, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Tian Fugui, upon hearing what he said, was so angry that he punched him in the chest and said, "You want to die, kid! How can you talk to me, the squad leader, like this? You are the only one who talks too much, can't you say less?"
Ma Xiaoyong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then said, "Squad Leader, don't get angry, listen to me and tell you the truth. Brother Zhao is famous for being punctual and trustworthy! You know that."
"In my opinion, he might have been delayed by something difficult this time. Let's just wait a little longer. After all, there are still dozens of minutes until the agreed meeting time. Don't worry, Brother Zhao will definitely not stand us up for no reason!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoyong winked at the squad leader mischievously, as if he wanted to ease the slightly tense atmosphere with his relaxed attitude.
At this moment, He Han ran out of the tent in a hurry, holding a handwritten telegram tightly in his hand.
