Chapter 80 (First Release)
"Hmm," Mu Xijue's voice rose slightly at the end, a half-smile playing on her lips, "Then why don't we go and urge President Jiang, who's in charge, to take charge of today's affairs?"
The other party broke out in a cold sweat: "Yes, I'll do it right away..."
A notification tone sounded at just the right moment, startling Ning Wanwan, who instinctively reached for her phone.
Fortunately, my phone was quiet, so it wasn't making the noise.
Immediately afterward, the person seemed to have checked the message and quickly replied, afraid of making Mu Xijue wait even a second longer: "Dr. Mu, I received a message that President Jiang is almost here."
“Okay.” Mu Xijue’s tone became cheerful again. “When President Jiang arrives, bring him over for an ‘inspection’ first.”
“Okay, okay, Dr. Mu.”
The footsteps that had stopped started again. Ning Wanwan didn't dare to move the whole time, hiding behind the bushes, hoping that Mu Xijue and the others would hurry over.
Even if you stop, don't stop right here!
The footsteps grew closer and then faded away until they passed right by her. Ning Wanwan's heart clenched. She didn't dare to peek out, only catching a glimpse of a white hem out of the corner of her eye.
It was the white coat that Mu Xijue was wearing.
"Please hurry up and get there," Ning Wanwan prayed in her heart.
Finally, we made it through!
Just as Ning Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard the person who should have been her subordinate report again, trembling with fear.
"By the way, Dr. Mu, our people discovered that President Jiang's younger brother, Jiang Chengran, was also at the amusement park, with several other people with him. The amusement park exploded afterward, and there's a possibility he might be accidentally injured. Should we notify them...?"
"No need to notify Jiang Chengran." Mu Xijue chuckled, clearly not surprised.
His tone was light and cheerful, yet it inexplicably revealed a coldness: "With Jiang Yuyuan's abilities, even if he hadn't known beforehand, he wouldn't have died from this unexpected turn of events."
"If he really died, it just means he was too weak."
The subordinate hesitated: "...Won't General Manager Jiang have any objections?"
"Do you think Jiang Yuyuan is a kind-hearted person who cares about family ties?" Mu Xijue said nonchalantly, as if she had thought of something, and curled the corners of her mouth with amusement.
"The Jiang family has never followed the principles of blood ties, but rather the law of the jungle."
"Jiang Yuyuan's younger brother will eventually realize this."
Ning Wanwan hadn't expected such an unexpected gain. Listening to these words, she instantly grasped the most crucial point—
The amusement park is going to explode!
However, the exact extent of the explosion, its power, and the location of the blast point are all unknown.
Ning Wanwan wished they would talk more, but Mu Xijue didn't continue.
Ning Wanwan sighed inwardly, just as she heard Mu Xijue suddenly stop in his tracks.
"Huh?"
His voice seemed to carry a surprised chuckle, "Are you sure this place has been cleaned up?"
"Yes, they've all been cleaned up. I guarantee there isn't a single extra bug left," the subordinate quickly replied.
"Oh, but I feel like there's a little rabbit that wandered in here too." Mu Xijue turned around and walked closer to the bushes.
Is it here?
Then, with a casual smile, he reached out and parted the leaves.
However, there was no one in sight behind the bushes.
"Hmm, there isn't any?"
Mu Xijue uttered an ambiguous interjection and looked in another direction.
His subordinate kept wiping his sweat: "Dr. Mu, have you discovered something?"
"Let's say we didn't find anything for now," Mu Xijue chuckled, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings. "But who knows what might happen later."
Ning Wanwan clenched her fingers, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
She had a bad feeling when Mu Xijue walked over, so she quietly moved her position, otherwise she would have been caught red-handed!
But at this moment, she couldn't move much, and she could only move quietly, without making any noise, and even holding her breath as much as possible.
If Mu Xijue is determined to continue searching, then he definitely won't be able to escape her.
Ning Wanwan could already hear Mu Xijue getting closer and closer—
"Dr. Mu, President Jiang's younger brother, Jiang Chengran, seems to be looking for someone." Another message came through, and the subordinate quickly reported.
"Looking for someone?" Mu Xijue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "That shouldn't be the case. If it's that Lin family's daughter..."
He suddenly paused, his brow furrowing slightly, and stopped walking. He instructed his subordinates, "Find out who Jiang Chengran has contacted."
A short while later, the subordinate replied, "The other party is looking for a classmate who came to the amusement park with him. Her name seems to be Ning Wanwan, and her distinguishing feature is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Xijue's expression had lost its previous ease and joy, as if she were deep in thought.
"Why would she come here? I reminded her more than once before..." Mu Xijue clicked her tongue in rare annoyance, "What a disobedient student."
"They need to be punished properly if they get caught."
Ning Wanwan, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but shudder: "..."
I'm really sorry for not listening!
"Since Jiang Chengran is looking for him, you should also allocate some of your people to help him search," Mu Xijue said to her subordinates in a somewhat cold tone.
"Yes, Dr. Mu... but what if we can't find it? Should we stop the plan?" the subordinate asked cautiously.
"Stop the plan?" Mu Xijue said with a slight tremor of surprise at the end, but then he reverted to his usual detached attitude. "What's wrong with you that you think I would say something like that?"
Subordinate: "I... I thought Dr. Mu was concerned about that..."
"I've warned her several times already. If she still dies here, it's because she didn't listen to my advice." Mu Xijue's voice was as elegant and pleasant as ever, with a hint of coldness.
"Yes, yes..." The subordinate dared not say any more.
Mu Xijue seemed to have suddenly lost interest. He stopped catching rabbits, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk out of the woods.
He ordered, "Have someone thoroughly search this area again immediately, making sure there is no one or anything missed."
"The plan is about to begin, and I don't want any more accidents to happen."
After saying that, he left only his back, the hem of his white coat tracing an arc in the air.
Before Ning Wanwan could even breathe a sigh of relief at Mu Xijue's departure, she soon heard other people's voices. It seemed they were going to check the area again carefully!
If we stay where we are, there's absolutely no way we can escape!
Am I just going to get caught like this?
Ning Wanwan hid in a corner, pursed her lips, her mind in turmoil, when she suddenly heard someone say, "President Jiang is here."
The sounds of the search stopped briefly, but they didn't go away. If Ning Wanwan made even the slightest movement, she would be discovered.
"What should I do, what should I do..."
Just then, a hurried, mechanical voice from the system suddenly rang in her mind: [Host, seize the opportunity!]
What
Before Ning Wanwan could react, she heard a sharp alarm blaring from not far away! Everyone present rushed over to check upon hearing the sound.
Ning Wanwan realized that this was the "opportunity" the system had mentioned, so she quickly made the most of the time and tried to leave as soon as possible.
However, with so many people around in this small area, leaving the central area was not a realistic option. Ning Wanwan was afraid that if she hesitated any longer, those people would come back. She bit her lip and decided to run straight to the control room.
"The main gate should be locked, right?"
It wasn't until she reached the door of the control room and saw the door tightly closed that Ning Wanwan suddenly realized what had happened.
After all, the control room should play a fairly important role in their so-called "plan".
Although she had given up hope, Ning Wanwan still tried turning the doorknob.
To her great surprise, the doorknob turned and the door opened!
Ning Wanwan: "...!!"
Despite it being good news, she wasn't happy at this moment; instead, she was even more confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't the most important places be the most heavily protected?
Moreover, after meeting Mu Xijue and the others, she had a strange feeling—it seemed that although this place was important, they were not worried about people accidentally wandering in and causing damage.
For example, Mu Xijue clearly sensed that there were outsiders nearby, but he wasn't worried at all. In the end, he simply handed over the task of arresting them to his subordinates and left.
From the very beginning, the fact that Ning Wanwan, an ordinary person, was able to sneak into the amusement park center was clear evidence.
At least when Ning Wanwan arrived, she didn't see anyone guarding the place. Running into Mu Xijue and the others was just bad luck.
Thinking of this, Ning Wanwan stood in front of the control room door, but dared not go in directly, fearing that it might be a trap.
[Perhaps it's because, although this place is very useful, the settings are already configured, and it can't be changed even if you wanted to.]
At this moment, the system guessed and spoke aloud in the mind, revealing a thought that Ning Wan had not considered.
Ning Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's very possible. That makes all the sense."
Since everything that needs to be set up here has already been set up, it can't be destroyed at all, so whether or not someone is sent to guard this place is not so important.
But if that's the case, the situation becomes more complicated.
Ning Wanwan carefully turned the doorknob, trying to ease her tension, and asked the system, "By the way, did you set off the alarm just now?"
Yes, the situation was too urgent, so I hacked into the nearby fire alarm system... but the amusement park's central control system was protected by a thick firewall, and I couldn't hack into it due to the rules, so I could only temporarily distract them...
The system's voice sounded somewhat frustrated, so Ning Wanwan comforted it, saying, "You're already very capable. I never expected you could provide such assistance."
The system cheered again: "Of course, I'll provide the host with even more assistance in the future!"
"Uh-huh."
Ning Wanwan nodded haphazardly, her attention focused on the door behind her. She tentatively opened the door a crack, but there was still no sound from the control room.
[So, host, am I much more useful than that human male Zhou Yanyao?]
Ning Wanwan nodded halfway through, "Mmm...ah..."
Wait a minute, what does this have to do with Zhou Yanyao? Why is he being dragged into this?
"Is that right, host?" the system urged, its mechanical voice low and menacing.
[Or does the host find humans like Zhou Yanyao, who would help clean your fingers, more useful...?]
