Hiding behind the tin door, Ling Mo held his breath and looked warily at the guard who had half his body sticking out of the storage room.
She roughly went through dozens of escape routes in her mind, but after filtering them one by one, she found that none of them could save her and Shi Ying.
Meanwhile, the guard, whose legs had already stepped over the low threshold of the storeroom, was groping for the light switch on the wall.
About two seconds later, with a crisp "click," the originally dark and cramped storage room was illuminated by a dim electric light.
The guard glanced at the old-looking electric lights hanging from the ceiling, then began to carefully search the storage room filled with goods.
Ling Mo cautiously turned her head to look at the guard who was turning around with his back to her, and her heart jumped into her throat.
She frowned, secretly thinking to herself that in this situation, she had no way to escape.
Unexpectedly, amidst the urgent alarm, Shi Yi and Ling Tian suddenly uttered two different exclamations, one high and one low.
Upon hearing the commotion outside, the guards in the storeroom immediately stopped their search and rushed out without a second thought.
Ling Moyi hadn't expected things to take such a turn. He clutched his heaving chest with both hands and peered out through the narrow crack in the door once more.
Outside the storage room, Shi Yi and Ling Tian were forced to kneel heavily at Ouyang Bin's feet by a group of guards.
In addition, several pistols were pressed precisely against the back of their heads.
Ling Tian's face turned deathly pale. She looked tremblingly at Ouyang Bin's grim expression and asked, as if walking on thin ice:
"Mr. Ouyang, aren't we allies? Why did you have guns pointed at me and my cousin?"
What are you doing here?
Ouyang Bin questioned Ling Tian with displeasure, and at the same moment, he loosened his grip on Shi Ying's neck.
Seeing that Shi Ying's neck had been strangled and left a bloody mark, his eyes showed a very complicated expression.
Realizing he had misunderstood her, he intended to say a few sweet words to coax her.
On second thought, "Xuanwei" is not Shiying after all, and there's no reason for him to waste his deep affection on a substitute.
He frowned in frustration, hesitated for a long time, and finally gestured with his eyes for Shi Ying to leave first.
Shi Ying glanced indifferently at the two people kneeling on the ground, and knew that Ouyang Bin's doubts about her had been completely dispelled by these two.
Feeling relieved, she dared not linger any longer. She glanced discreetly at the half-open, chipped iron gate, then pretended nothing had happened and swayed gracefully toward the stairwell.
Shi Yi tilted his head and stared blankly at Shi Ying's back for a long while, muttering to himself:
"That woman looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
"Cousin, what are you muttering about? Mr. Ouyang is asking us a question." Seeing that Ouyang Bin's expression was getting more and more unpleasant, Ling Tian quickly tugged at Shi Yi's arm and gave him a wink.
Shi Yi snapped out of his daze, glanced up at Ouyang Bin who was radiating an extremely low-pressure aura, and quickly focused his attention, answering Ouyang Bin's question meticulously:
“Mr. Ouyang, please don’t misunderstand me and Xiaotian. I’d stake my life on it, Xiaotian and I are absolutely loyal to you and have no ulterior motives. The reason we broke into the faculty dormitory at night was not for any ulterior motives, but simply to catch someone.”
"Arrest someone? What do you mean?"
Ouyang Bin gave the glib-tongued Shi Yi a cold look, then turned his gaze to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian immediately understood, quickly straightened her posture, and recounted everything in detail:
"In response to Mr. Ouyang, a few hours ago, we overheard through a listening device installed on Shi Huan's wristwatch that Ling Mo and his group planned to sneak into the faculty dormitory building at 11 PM tonight. We originally intended to report this to you immediately, but were told that you had an important meeting tonight. Left with no other choice, we had to come in person to catch Ling Mo and his group in the act."
Ouyang Bin suddenly became interested and asked in a deep voice:
"Oh? Ling Mo is here too?"
"Logically, they should have arrived by now," Ling Tian muttered softly, sounding uncertain.
Ouyang Bin was well aware of the conflict between Ling Tian and Ling Mo, so he didn't really believe what Ling Tian said.
However, just to be on the safe side, he still gave instructions to the mutants around him:
"Xiao Wu, go and verify this."
"Reporting to Second Master, Seventh Brother just reported on Ling Mo's situation in the trainees' WeChat group. Apparently, Ling Mo suddenly fainted while taking a shower and was discovered by Shi Huan. Currently, a trainee with medical knowledge is guarding her in her dormitory." AK05 immediately took out his phone, opened the message sent by AK07, and reported it to Ouyang Bin word for word.
"Okay, I understand."
Ouyang Bin nodded, his gaze toward Shi Yi and Ling Tian growing even colder.
“Mr. Ouyang, please let me explain. Everything my cousin and I said is true, and there is not a single falsehood.”
Seeing this, Ling Tian quickly grabbed Ouyang Bin's trouser leg and begged for mercy.
At this moment, she did not doubt the truthfulness of the information provided by AK05. She only thought that she and Shi Yi had been tricked by the cunning Ling Mo and had fallen into a trap, and she was filled with regret.
Shi Yi also realized the seriousness of the situation. To save his life, he slammed his forehead on the ground with a "thud," and kept blaming Ling Mo:
“Mr. Ouyang, we really didn’t mean to break into the faculty dormitory building. It must have been that bitch Ling Mo who deliberately left false information to scheme against us and sow discord between us.”
"Xiao Wu, throw those two out of the faculty dormitory building."
Ouyang Bin was naturally suspicious. Although he did not believe that Shi Yi and Ling Tian would dare to betray him at this critical juncture, he still ordered the revocation of their passes.
In fact, he originally intended to eliminate them completely and ordered their execution. However, considering Shi Yi's special status, he spared their lives.
As he turned around, Ouyang Bin was still thinking of going to the tenth floor to find "Xuanwei" and ask her why he had fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the tea in her room.
Upon closer reflection, however, "Xuanwei" had indeed told him that the tea had a calming and sleep-inducing effect.
Realizing he was completely infatuated with a stand-in, Ouyang Bin became increasingly agitated. He sullenly lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked alone towards his bedroom in the faculty dormitory building.
