Chapter 435: Chapter 378: They Are Indeed Connected
"Teacher Liu, thank you for treating me to lunch!"
"It’s getting late, so I should be going!"
Lin Yi and Liu Song walked out of the cafeteria.
Lin Yi smiled and said his goodbyes to Liu Song.
"How long are you planning to stay this time?" Liu Song quickly asked.
"It depends. It all hangs on how smoothly the work goes."
"If it goes well, I might leave early. If not..."
"Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for what you mentioned. If anything comes up, I’ll call you immediately!"
"Then I really must thank you, Teacher Liu!"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Liu Song, Lin Yi headed toward the school gate.
Liu Song stood there, gazing at Lin Yi’s departing figure.
He watched for a long time, until Lin Yi vanished from sight.
Just then, another male teacher, slightly heavyset and wearing a pair of glasses, walked over.
"That guy just now... why does he look so familiar?"
Hearing this, Liu Song glanced back at him.
He couldn’t help but smile and say, "An old student of mine. Last year’s Martial Arts Examination Champion Scholar!"
"Martial Arts Examination Champion Scholar? Holy crap, don’t tell me that was Lin Yi?" the chubby teacher said in surprise.
Liu Song’s brow furrowed. "Watch your language. This is a school!"
"Ah, right, right, I just got too excited. But still... why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Liu Song shot him a look. "He’s my student. What was I supposed to tell you for?"
"Teacher Liu, let’s make a deal. Next time Lin Yi comes to see you, can you include me?
I’m telling you, I’m his fan now, you know?"
"I admire that student of yours so much, especially his Martial Arts journey. I have to write a book about him..."
"Teacher Guo, mind your image. You’re a teacher. How can you be a student’s fan? If you really want to write a book, I can mention it to him next time I see him."
"You can write it if he agrees. But if he doesn’t..."
"I get it, I get it! If he doesn’t agree, there’s no way I’d write it!"
Chatting, the two of them headed into the academic building.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi had left the school grounds.
An SUV was parked outside, and the person sitting inside was none other than Wei Shang.
As Lin Yi emerged, Wei Shang glanced back.
He watched until Lin Yi opened the car door and got in.
"Lord General, where are we going now?" Wei Shang quickly asked.
Lin Yi glanced at him. "To the clinic first. I want to see how Wei Nan’s injuries are."
"Understood!" Wei Shang nodded, quickly starting the car and driving toward the clinic.
On the way to the Danqing Hall Medical Clinic,
Lin Yi murmured, "Have you arranged for men around the school?"
"As per your orders, they’re all in position!"
"Especially the surveillance on Lin Yu..."
Wei Shang replied quickly. Lin Yi nodded, his gaze drifting out the car window.
His face was impassive.
But a hint of coldness seeped from the depths of his eyes.
’If Lin Yu is truly connected to the Blood Handprint, and if he really was the one who dragged Li Xuewen into it...’
’This time, I absolutely will not let Lin Yu go.’
’His life is mine, and mine alone, to take.’
Not long after they drove away,
a taxi pulled over on the side of the road, about a hundred meters from the school.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "We’re here, buddy."
A person was sitting in the back of the taxi.
He wore a baseball cap on his head, a mask over his face, and sunglasses.
He had even pulled up the hood of his hoodie.
With an getup like that, he would look suspicious even if he was doing nothing wrong.
He said nothing, paid the fare, then opened the door and got out.
The driver just gave him a second glance and didn’t say anything.
What kind of person hadn’t a taxi driver seen before?
He was long used to seeing strange types like this.
After the taxi left, the man stood by the roadside, surveying his surroundings.
After a long moment, he took out his phone and sent a text message.
A short while later, after about ten minutes or so,
a student in a school uniform walked out of the school.
He headed straight for the masked man.
Just as the masked man saw him and was about to walk over to talk,
the student murmured, "Don’t come closer. There are eyes everywhere. Follow behind me!"
As the words fell, the masked man quickly stopped in his tracks.
As the student walked past him, he waited a few more seconds.
He glanced around again before hurrying to follow.
"What happened? How did the feeding ground get taken down? Who did it?"
Suddenly, the student in front asked, his tone somewhat cold.
There even seemed to be a hint of accusation in his voice.
Hearing this, the masked man following behind lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "It was the Town Martial Department and the police. They joined forces and took down the feeding ground!"
"And it wasn’t just that one. The feeding ground in Dongcheng was also taken down. It all happened overnight!"
Hearing this, the student walking in front said nothing.
He continued walking forward at an unhurried pace, even occasionally greeting classmates who passed by.
Only when there was no one else around did the student murmur, "The Town Martial Department... Aren’t they a New District agency? What are they doing in the Old District?"
"That... I’m not sure. But, but there’s something else..."
"Speak!"
"Wei Nan is back too!"
"Wei Nan? The one who’s good friends with my brother?"
"Yes, that’s him. I think he’s also with the Town Martial Department. He recognized me, but... I stabbed him!"
