On the third day of An Moxue and Wu Sicheng's investigation of the second research institute, many more roadblocks and checkpoints appeared on the roads of Puda Prefecture. There were far fewer pedestrians on the road, and even the drunkard seemed to have disappeared.
School started, and An Moxue dutifully went back and forth between school and home, busy with her studies.
An Moxue glanced at the documents inside the safe, but found that she only understood a small portion of them.
She's been unusually quiet lately, only keeping in touch with business partners and not going out to meet with friends.
After class, a few classmates gathered together and chatted. "There's been a lot of talk about exchange students at school lately. I think it's probably true," Sophia said, turning to An Moxue.
"Hmm, what's up? You want to go?" An Moxue asked casually.
Sofia replied with longing, "Of course! I've never been abroad before! It would be wonderful to see the world."
Katyusha also looked curious: "Yes! I just don't know how to get there?"
Sofia thought for a moment and said, "Exchange students, at the very least, need to be fluent in the language and have excellent academic performance! But I've heard about Spring Hill School in England."
This time, An Moxue listened attentively. She looked at Sophia and asked, "Really? But we don't know what major it will be yet. Besides, the earliest we can go is next semester."
Several people nodded in agreement.
An Moxue, who thought it was just casual conversation, didn't expect that in the afternoon, the old professor would stop her after class and ask, "How about you go to England as an exchange student?"
An Moxue looked at the old professor in surprise and asked, "Ah! Professor, isn't there a competition or selection process? Or can I nominate myself?"
"What are you thinking? Of course you want it! It's not just because of your outstanding grades and your financial situation, but most importantly, because you're fluent in the language. Besides you, our department will have nine more spots. Don't tell me you don't want to go?"
The old man was giving off a "you're not going, I'll make you pay" vibe, so An Moxue dared to refuse!
She chuckled and said, "No way! Teacher, I was just afraid of putting you in a difficult position!"
Seeing that she had agreed, the old professor's expression softened, and he said, "You should be able to go next semester. I've noted your name down. Just prepare your documents and complete the formalities when the time comes."
"Teacher, how long will it take?"
The old professor glared at her, annoyed, and said, "A year. Isn't that just what you wanted? You never seem to have a moment's peace."
An Moxue quickly changed the subject, saying, "Teacher, what does my teacher's wife do at home?"
This earned him another glare. "Come on, your teacher's wife is still talking about you! Why don't you go and see her?"
"Go, go, I'll go tomorrow." He said and ran off, not wanting to be glared at again.
The strict investigation continued, and An Moxue felt that this couldn't go on forever. That evening, she went to see Wu Sicheng and asked, "What are your thoughts on the third place?"
He looked at her. "What? You've got an idea? You've been investigating relentlessly lately."
"No, it's just that we keep doing this without ever stopping. Besides, I don't know if Mr. Kong can afford to wait."
“I just managed to get two identities these past few days, so let’s pretend to be them. You’ll have to ask the school for a few days off, but be careful this time.”
"no problem."
After the two of them agreed on the matter, An Moxue went back to school to ask for leave. When the old professor heard that she was asking for leave again, he was furious, but in the end, he couldn't resist An Moxue's persistent pleading and finally granted her leave.
When they arrived at the location, An Moxue realized that they had disguised themselves as two people specifically responsible for garbage collection.
Today happened to be the day when the two of them returned after taking leave. On the way, An Moxue and Wu Sicheng followed them all the way. When they were almost at the research institute, they intercepted the two of them, interrogated them, and then impersonated them.
The two looked at each other, correcting each other's minor mistakes in disguise. Then, An Moxue opened her mouth, and her tone changed, "Adrian, do more work when you're working, got it?"
“I’ve got it.” Wu Sicheng plays a slightly hunchbacked man.
The two men hid the items and themselves, then headed towards the research institute.
Upon arriving at the research institute, the two men showed their identification, and after another inspection, they were allowed to enter.
The two people, carrying tools and a cart, began their day's cleaning work.
The two of them cleaned according to their usual habits.
An Moxue leaned closer to Wu Sicheng, discreetly glancing around, and said, "It seems we can't go inside, we can only stay outside. What should we do?"
"Let's clean all the places that need cleaning first, and then we'll go to other places after we've gotten used to the terrain when it gets dark."
"OK."
And so, the two of them cleaned while observing their surroundings.
A passing soldier joked, "Adrian, you and your wife are back from your leave and you're working even harder. Are you trying to finish two days' worth of work in one day? Looks like you had a great time on the road!"
Wu Sicheng retorted: "Bullshit! I don't take holidays, and I work hard too. Stop badmouthing us."
The soldiers nearby chimed in, "What's wrong? Got some guts after just one trip out, Adrian? You even know how to swear now."
"No, no, he's had too much to drink, please don't take it to heart." An Moxue nodded and bowed, playing the role of a somewhat obsequious wife, and even reached out to pull Adrian's ear as she spoke.
"No, no, wife, it hurts, it hurts, please be gentle." Wu Sicheng, playing Adrian, said, jumping up and down, begging An Moxue for mercy, "Wife, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
The soldier saw that his ears were red, so he must have been pinched pretty hard. He laughed and continued his patrol.
Wu Sicheng was burning up, especially his ears, which were bright red as if they were about to catch fire.
An Moxue watched the soldiers walk away and said to Wu Sicheng, "They're gone!"
Although he was on a mission, he was genuinely shy and didn't know how to face An Moxue. He could only give a soft "hmm" and continue working with his head down.
"Have you calculated it? It seems these two are quite familiar with the soldiers. We'd better hurry."
"We'll act at night."
In this way, the two of them quietly explored most of the research institute and completely took control of the terrain.
After observing, Wu Sicheng said, "This building and that building are the most likely. That building should have a basement."
"Hmm, I wonder if the soldiers at the gate will still be there by then."
"We'll see how things unfold when the time comes!"
Wu Sicheng looked at a house on the left and said, "Let's go to Zhidong tonight."
An Moxue said, "Have you noticed that besides the patrols in the open, there are also cannons hidden in the shadows? Is it because they open fire as soon as they spot an unidentified target?"
Wu Sicheng didn't know what she had practiced before, so he tentatively asked, "I guess... are you scared?"
