Chapter 146 Confidentiality
"Stand back a little."
Even the words he spoke were the same as usual, without any difference.
No? What's going on?
Qiu Yuge felt like he might be going crazy from exhaustion.
I'm hallucinating.
Wei Gu asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Lu Yao had already sat up. Facing the others' anxiety, he even had the energy to stop Cang Zizhen from taking out his phone and preparing to make a call: "I'm fine."
Then he looked at Wei Gu: "It's backlash."
Wei Gu was stunned.
Backlash?
Before he could think too much, Lu Yao had already made arrangements quickly. He sat down and held out his hand to Bai You: "Give me your phone."
Bai You was stunned and hadn't reacted yet. When he heard Bai You's words, he subconsciously handed over the phone.
After getting Bai You's phone, Lu Yao stood up again and walked to Qiu Yuge, also asking for the other's phone.
Qiu Yuge also handed over his phone in a daze.
Lu Yao did the same thing, walking around the practice room, leaving a trail of red footprints on the ground, and then took everyone's cell phone.
Then he looked at Wei Gu.
"Contact Yu Lang and tell him your identity has been exposed and needs to be dealt with."
Wei Gu was shocked.
Bai You also looked at Lu Yao with a confused expression.
Identity exposed? What was exposed?
Yin Hongxue and Cang Zizheng looked at the footprints left by Lu Yao when he walked towards them, their brows furrowed and their expressions looked very bad.
Zhu Xiangming was completely stunned and couldn't understand the situation at the moment.
Qiu Yuge's gaze moved upwards and landed slightly on Qiu Yuge.
Now he was standing in the middle of the room, and everyone could see him.
Blood was still dripping down his fingers, dropping onto the ground with a plop, but Lu Yao stood there calmly. If it weren't for the glaring red color, Qiu Yuge would have even thought that it was just sweat from exhaustion.
Wei Gu had already sent the message on his phone, and then he looked at Lu Yao again.
Lu Yao continued: "Clean it up."
He didn't say what to clean, but Wei Gu quickly understood.
He immediately ran out of the room and came back a while later with a big bag. After opening it, he took out various bottles and jars. After a series of quick mixing, he finally took out a spray bottle and sprayed the blood on the ground. Then, the bright red liquid turned colorless in front of everyone.
When there was no trace of red left in the practice room, Wei Gu took out a towel and started wiping. After a busy period, the practice room became clean and bright again. After this period of time, no new blood flowed from Lu Yao's body. If it weren't for his clothes still looking a little wet, everything that had just happened would seem like a dream.
Qiu Yuge blinked slowly, and felt as if he understood why Lu Yao was wearing red today.
But, but, what is going on?
Qiu Yuge opened and closed his mouth, his face blank with shock. He turned his head slowly, feeling as if he had turned into a puppet that had been neglected for a long time and had stiff joints. He could even hear the clicking sound of the gears turning. He saw Bai You still sitting on the ground with his mouth open, Zhu Xiangming covering his mouth and blinking wildly, Cang Zizhen with a look of fear on his face, Yin Hongxue with a calm expression but eyes full of shock... and Wei Gu who was concentrating on wiping the floor very professionally and skillfully, as if he was born to be an expert in dealing with bloodstains.
No, what is going on?
Lu Yao fainted! He's bleeding! Shouldn't he go to the hospital?
Qiu Yuge realized belatedly that Lu Yao had just taken their cell phones, and when Cangzi really wanted to make a call before, Lu Yao stopped him.
Why not let them call? Why not contact the doctor?
No, why did Lu Yao faint and bleed?
Is Lu Yao sick? What kind of illness would cause so much bleeding? Why is Lu Yao wearing red clothes? Does he know he will bleed? Is he injured?
Qiu Yuge thought of the scars on Lu Yao's body.
But wait, why does Wei Gu look so professional? Isn't he their new assistant? Do assistants need to master these cleaning techniques? And the supplies in Wei Gu's bag look so professional... can blood stains be cleaned like this? How come he doesn't know?
And the person Lu Yao asked Wei Gu to contact...
Qiu Yuge was shocked and dazed, completely unable to understand what was happening in front of him. He pinched his palms hard until he felt waves of pain, and then he believed that all this was not an illusion.
What is going on?
Silence spread in the room. Everyone breathed softly and dared not speak. Only Wei Gu, after cleaning diligently, sat on the floor and gasped tiredly. After resting for a while, he put the cleaning supplies he had just taken out back into his big bag. When he sorted the bag and put it in the corner, the whole practice room became a bright and clean practice room again, and there was even a hint of fragrance - that was the air freshener Wei Gu sprayed last time.
So when Ding Ling and Su Junliang walked in, they saw six members standing in the practice room as punishment, with Wei Gu sitting on the floor to rest.
It's very strange.
Ding Ling looked at Lu Yao: "What's wrong? What do you want to say by calling us here?"
Then everyone was packed up and taken into a black car.
The car's compartment was very large, so large that after seating nine people, including six members, Wei Gu, Su Junliang, and Ding Ling, there was still space for four more people.
It would be better if these four extra people didn't have guns.
Ding Ling and Su Junliang had blank expressions, not understanding what was going on.
Qiu Yuge and other members didn't dare to move at all. Even Bai You kept staring at the ground, not daring to look up.
No, who would dare to lift it? If they did, they would see four black gun muzzles and Lu Yao's piercing gaze.
Although Lu Yao's expression is the same as before, the scene is different, and the lethality of this expressionless observation will increase exponentially!
She sat stiffly in the car for who knows how long. After getting off the car, Ding Ling felt numb all over.
It's numb both physically and psychologically.
No, what the hell? What the hell is going on? Is there some hidden camera filming this?
Even when she was taken to a conference room, Ding Ling still had a sense of unreality. She didn't feel any fear, terror, or worry in her heart. Instead, she felt strangely relaxed and wanted to laugh.
Then the relief disappeared when Yulang walked into the meeting room.
Who?! Who is this?
Ding Ling stood up suddenly.
Yu Lang wasn't the least bit surprised by Ding Ling's overreaction. He smiled and pressed his hands down, "Sit down. Don't be nervous."
Then Ding Ling sat down in a daze. She turned to look at Su Junliang, trying to find some resonance.
Yu Lang! The real Yu Lang! The Yu Lang on TV!
As an adult, Ding Ling sometimes reads some news. She doesn't remember ordinary trivial matters, but she can still remember Yu Lang, who is such an important person.
She never dreamed that she would meet such a person, but now this person was sitting in front of her, and told her not to be nervous with a concerned look on his face.
Ding Ling felt even more dazed.
No, what exactly happened?
"I'm sorry to bring everyone here so late." Yu Lang nodded. The person standing behind him quickly came forward with a stack of documents and handed them to everyone in turn. Yu Lang continued, "Please take a look at the documents first. If you have any questions, please ask me."
Ding Ling looked at the document in front of her, and the four huge words "Confidentiality Agreement" caught her eye.
She made so many people sign so many confidentiality agreements. Is it her turn now?
I don’t know how much time passed before I finished reading this thin contract.
There were clearly not many words, but Ding Ling read it very carefully, as if she wanted to memorize every word in her mind. Su Junliang beside her read even slower than her, but that group of members had finished reading the contract early, and without saying a word, they just sat in their seats, staring at the contract in a daze.
The protagonist of this contract, Ding Ling, looked up quietly and sat opposite them, looking at them expressionlessly.
Noticing Ding Ling's gaze, he looked over.
Ding Ling quickly looked away.
There it is again, that feeling of being seen through.
But this time, Ding Ling couldn't ignore it no matter what.
Maybe, no, not maybe, Lu Yao really saw through them!
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and looked at the contract.
The first item clearly states "Lu Yao's identity must not be disclosed."
Identity? What is Lu Yao's identity?
Ding Ling didn't know, and it wasn't written in the contract, but based on everything that had just happened, she could easily come to the conclusion that Lu Yao's identity was not simple.
When she thought of this, Ding Ling wanted to die.
Isn't Lu Yao a chess player? Isn't he an orphan? Didn't he seek out Su Junliang because he wanted to be a trainee? But what's going on now? Why is Lu Yao's identity so complicated? Wait, an orphan? Could it be that Lu Yao isn't an orphan? Or perhaps he's an orphan, but adopted not by ordinary people but by a more specialized institution?
Ding Ling's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, then it all makes sense.
Why is Lu Yao so secretive about his past? Because he has to keep it secret and can’t tell anyone!
Why did Lu Yao practice martial arts and have scars all over his body? Because he underwent special training!
Why is it that Lu Yao is clearly a child, but his personality is not like a child at all? Because what he does is not what a child should do!
The more Ding Ling thought about it, the more it made sense to her. She felt like she had grasped the truth. Her heart was beating wildly, and her desire to die grew stronger.
But what's the point of figuring this out? She's just an ordinary worker who just wants to be her own agent and lead her artists to shine in the entertainment industry.
She couldn't bear this kind of confidentiality agreement and this kind of special identity.
How did this thing that is so incompatible with the entertainment industry come about?
Ding Ling looked at Su Junliang and met the same gaze.
Su Junliang's eyes also looked 'death'.
For a moment, it is hard to tell whether it is 'the dead are half alive' or 'the living are half dead'.
Ding Ling then looked at the other members. They obviously knew more than her and now looked "dead".
"Okay." Yu Lang spoke again, "I believe everyone has read this agreement. I sincerely ask everyone to conceal the identity of our outstanding soldier, Lu Yao, and protect his safety."
