He could neither advance nor retreat. Chen Jinrong, who had always been swift and decisive, actually hesitated at this moment.

Although Chen Jinrong hesitated for a very short time, this was already a very clear answer for Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao thought to himself that as expected, he went straight to the point and asked, “Is this school exchange trip dangerous?”

The expressions of the three people in front of him froze at the same time. Wang Xiao sighed and continued, “Academy Head Qin, Academy Head Huang, you guys don’t know me too well. Although I don’t think I’m a good person, I won’t use others to show off.”

Qin Kaiyang and Huang Tingwei looked at each other with clearly awkward expressions.

With their understanding of Wang Xiao, they would definitely have discovered the flaw in that reason under normal circumstances. However, their attention had been on something else just now, so they had neglected the most obvious problem.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wang Xiao looked at Chen Jinrong again. “Commander Chen, what’s the purpose of this school exchange? If you don’t tell me, I’ll investigate it myself. But if I find out anything strange, don’t blame me!”

‘…You’re really a good student of the Qin family!”

Chen Jinrong looked at Qin Kaiyang ambiguously before looking at Wang Xiao again. He said in a businesslike tone, “This matter involves secrets. It’s not convenient for me to reveal them to you.”

“Sure.”

Wang Xiao had already expected this and nodded. “Then I’ll investigate it myself. ”

“How dare you!”

Chen Jinrong glared and directly assumed the posture of the commander-in-chief of the military region. “I’ve already made it very clear that this matter is confidential. If you dare to investigate without permission, you’re suspected of stealing secrets. Don’t blame me for being merciless when the time comes!”

Although Chen Jinrong did not use his aura to suppress others, his words were already very rude.

Wang Xiao opened his mouth but did not say anything. He knew Chen Jinrong’s personality quite well. At this point, even if they fell out on the spot, he would definitely not be able to get anything out of him.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao did not ask further. He changed the topic and said,

“In that case, I’ll follow the arrangements—will the candidates be decided by

“You don’t have to worry about that. I already have suitable candidates.”

As Chen Jinrong spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was the candidate list Huang Tingwei and Qin Kaiyang had provided him previously.

“Take a look. If there’s no problem, I’ll get someone to arrange it.”

Wang Xiao took the list and unfolded it to discover that it was filled with acquaintances. “Academy Head Huang, you set this list, right?”

Huang Tingwei coughed dryly and did not say anything. Qin Kaiyang, who was at the side, said, “I recommended Fang Tianyu and the others. You’ve known each other for a long time and have a tacit understanding. It’s more convenient for you to do anything.”

“But what if there’s danger?”

Wang Xiao frowned and looked at Qin Kaiyang. “Fang Tianyu and the others should be the top students of Kaiyang Academy now, right? What if they encounter danger during their travels?”

When Qin Kaiyang heard this, he glanced at Chen Jinrong and said in a serious voice, “That’s why I’ll go with you. With me and Academy Head Huang around, I definitely won’t let you encounter danger.”

“Is the danger of needing to mobilize two Academy Heads so easy to resolve?” 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

Wang Xiao muttered ambiguously. Without waiting for them to speak, he said, “Since you’ve already arranged it, I’ll obey the order. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao had already turned around and left the office. Anyone could hear the anger in his heart from the heavy footsteps.

The three people in the office looked at each other for a moment. Huang Tingwei sighed and asked helplessly, “Commander Chen, is this really fine? You know Wang Xiao’s personality…”

“It’s precisely because I know his personality that I can’t let him know too much.”

Chen Jinrong interrupted Huang Tingwei with a dark expression. “You also Imow that the risks of this operation are uncontrollable. It’s not a bad thing for them to be vigilant. If Wang Xiao tries to tell others—even if you discover it, don’t stop him.”

“…Got it. ”

The two Academy Heads nodded. Qin Kaiyang continued, “But there’s something I still have to make clear. If…”

“I know what you’re going to say.”

Chen Jinrong waved his hand and interrupted Qin Kaiyang. “I know you value these children very much, but please understand your priorities. I won’t say anything else. You can go back first. I’m tired.”

Huang Tingwei and Qin Kaiyang still had a lot to say, but Chen Jinrong had already ordered them to leave. They could only bid farewell and leave.

After leaving the military building, the two Academy Heads stood by the street and were not in a hurry to leave. However, they did not interact much with each other, as if they were just standing here in a daze.

After a full ten minutes, Qin Kaiyang was the first to speak. “Old Huang, what do you think?” “What do you mean?”

“What I was about to say.”

Qin Kaiyang said in a low voice with a serious expression, “If the target of the operation conflicts with the safety of the students, which side do you choose?”

“Why should I choose? Don’t I still have you?”

Huang Tingwei chuckled and said indifferently, “I’ll be in charge of the operation and you’ll be in charge of the students. Didn’t we agree from the beginning?”

“What if you die?”

Qin Kaiyang asked directly, “If you die, do you want us to continue moving or evacuate immediately?”

“Old Qin, can’t you think better of me?”

Huang Tingwei rolled his eyes angrily, but his expression became serious. “If you really encounter that situation, I believe you will make the right choice.”

Kaiyang City, Yuheng Academy.

After Wang Xiao left the military building, he returned here.

Just like when Wang Xiao first arrived in the morning, the academy was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners. The students coming and going were also beaming with joy, but his mood was worlds apart from after this morning.

Chen Jinrong’s unyielding attitude made the ominous feeling in Wang Xiao’s heart intensify.

He knew that he might encounter a very dangerous accident this time, but he had no clue about this danger now. He really did not like the feeling of facing the unknown.

“Wang Xiao!”

Suddenly, there was a shout. Wang Xiao came back to his senses and saw Zhou Xiruo, Yi Han, and Xu Junrou walking towards him.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Xiao immediately adjusted his expression. “It’s you? Good morning!”

“Good morning? It’s almost noon!”

As Zhou Xir110 snake. she had already arrived in front of him- She frowned and

complained, “Didn’t Teacher Tian tell you that there’s a celebration? Why are you still so late? I didn’t even find you when I went on stage to receive the award just now!”

“I had something to deal with at the last minute. I’ve already greeted Teacher Tian.”

Wang Xiao beat about the bush. Before Zhou Xiruo could ask again, he changed the topic. “You should have already received your rewards, right? What good things are they?”

Hearing this question, the three of them looked at each other and their expressions suddenly became a little mysterious.

Yi Han pursed his lips and smiled secretly.. “Idol, you’ll never guess what the academy gave this time!”
