Chapter 433: The Enemy Appears Again

Looking at Chen Jinrong’s evil plan that had succeeded, Wang Xiao immediately felt a little angry.
However, Wang Xiao could only suffer in silence now. After all, Chen Jinrong’s identity and strength were obvious. Moreover, although the final benefits were far lower than expected, he still had a clear direction.
Without the secret realm provided by Chen Jinrong, Wang Xiao could only search for those secret realms that might contain the [Black Gold Ore] himself. Not to mention how much time and energy it would take, it was still unknown if he could even find them.
After looking at the number on the note one last time, Wang Xiao put it in his pocket and looked at Chen Jinrong seriously. “Commander Chen, regarding the school exchange, I think there’s something I need to tell you clearly.”
“Is it still about Liu Yingying?”
Chen Jinrong glanced at Wang Xiao. “If you’re willing to only take 5%, I can consider changing people.”
“It’s up to you whether you want to replace her or not. I’m talking about another thing or rather, two things”
Wang Xiao extended two fingers expressionlessly. “The first thing is that I won’t cause trouble during the school exchange, but Liu Yingying doesn’t like me. What if she causes trouble for me on the way?”
“We’ll see.”
Chen Jinrong thought for a moment and replied, “If she affects us in a serious way, you can report it to Academy Head Qin and Academy Head Huang to deal with it. If you can’t find them, you can deal with it yourself. However, if she’s only targeting you… bear with it.”
..Alright.”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and nodded. “Secondly, you know her identity. What if she encounters danger on the way?”
“With the two Academy Heads accompanying you, you won’t encounter any danger.”
Chen Jinrong casually replied. He paused for a moment and said, “But if that day really comes, you can make your own decision based on the situation at the scene.”
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes. “You mean to protect her?”
“I mean, you have to look at the big picture.”
I understand.’
Wang Xiao was silent for a moment before nodding heavily. Although Chen Jinrong did not say it explicitly, his meaning was already very obvious.
Liu Yingying was only an ordinary member. She could be given up when necessary.
After bidding farewell to Chen Jinrong, Wang Xiao came out of the office and suddenly remembered something very important—he did not know where to find Qi Lianjun.
This was not the first time Wang Xiao needed to look for Qi Lianjun. However, every time he wanted to look for someone, Qi Lianjun would coincidentally appear. Therefore, even now, he did not know where Qi Lianjun usually worked.
“Why don’t we go back and ask Commander Chen?”
Wang Xiao turned around and looked at the closed door. After hesitating, he did not dare to go back and disturb him.
Chen Jinrong had not rested for the entire night. There was no need to waste his time over such a small matter. Moreover, it was not as if Wang Xiao had no other options.
He took out his communicator and dialed Qi Lianjun’s number. Almost at the same time, Wang Xiao heard a crisp ringtone coming from the end of the corridor.
“…It can’t be such a coincidence, right?”
Wang Xiao muttered with a strange expression and casually hung up the communication device. The crisp ringtone also stopped abruptly.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Every time he needed something, Qi Lianjun would always appear at the right time. This was only because the two of them had a good relationship. Otherwise, Wang Xiao would have thought that Qi Lianjun had been following him!
However, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he waited for a few minutes. That familiar figure didn’t appear in the corridor. Wang Xiao felt that it was a little strange. After thinking for a while, he dialed Qi Lianjun’s number again.
The crisp ringtone sounded again and stopped abruptly as Wang Xiao hung up. The timing was simply too coincidental. It was basically certain that this was Qi Lianjun’s ringtone.
But why didn’t he come over? Could it be that he didn’t know that Wang Xiao was here?
As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao had already walked in the direction of the sound. After passing through the entire corridor, he stopped in front of an unlatched door.
If Wang Xiao did not hear wrongly, the ringtone just now came from this room.
The door sign showed that this room was the information room. Wang Xiao took out his communicator and dialed Qi Lianjun’s number. When he heard the ringtone coming from the room, he raised his hand and pushed the door open.
“Adjutant Qi, I… will go in!”
Before Wang Xiao could finish speaking, he exclaimed. He saw Qi Lianjun lying motionless on the ground. The blood on his head and face had already scabbed over. It was obvious that he had been lying here for a long time!
“Adjutant Qi!”
Wang Xiao exclaimed and hurriedly went forward. Just as he grabbed Qi Lianjun, he felt a chill. He hurriedly placed his hand under Qi Lianjun’s nose and felt relieved.
Although his breathing was so weak that it was almost undetectable, he was indeed still breathing.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?”
Chen Jinrong’s roar came from outside. As he spoke, he had already reached the door.
Seeing Qi Lianjun’s head covered in blood , Chen Jinrong’s expression suddenly changed. “What’s going on? Who beat him up like this?!”
“I don’t know. He was like this when I found out.”
Wang Xiao shook his head with a solemn expression. “His breathing is very weak. Let’s send him to the hospital first!”
Chen Jinrong agreed and immediately called a medic over. He first gave Qi Lianjun a simple examination and bandaged him before immediately sending him to the hospital.
Wang Xiao wanted to follow, but he was stopped by Chen Jinrong.
“It’s useless for you to follow. Wait for the news here.”
Chen Jinrong pressed Wang Xiao down and said coldly with a dark expression,
“Tell me what happened just now. Don’t miss any details. ”
Wang Xiao nodded. After thinking for a moment, he told him everything without holding back.
Actually, there was nothing to hold back. When Wang Xiao discovered him, Qi Lianjun was already unconscious. Chen Jinrong arrived less than a minute later, so he did not know much more than Chen Jinrong.
After saying that, Wang Xiao paused and probed, “Commander Chen, who do you think it is?”
“Enemies.”
Chen Jinrong replied coldly with a gloomy expression. However, this answer was basically equivalent to not saying anything.
Wang Xiao sighed helplessly. “Commander Chen, I know you don’t want me to get involved, but Adjutant Qi is also my friend. If there’s anything I can help with..
Chen Jinrong did not wait for Wang Xiao to finish and directly rejected him. After closing the door of the reference room, he waved his hand and called for a warrior. “He will bring you to that secret realm. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”
“I won’t!”
Wang Xiao shook his head firmly. “Adjutant Qi is my friend. I’ll definitely interfere in this matter!”
“It’s none of your business!”
Chen Jinrong growled with a livid expression. Then, he sighed heavily and his tone softened. “I’ve already taken a look just now. Xiao Qi only has one injury, and it’s a fatal injury. Do you know what it means?”
Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, Chen Jinrong continued, “This means that the other party did not want to subdue him but wanted to kill him directly.
Xiao Qi is still alive now. It’s purely because he’s lucky!”
“No matter who the culprit is and what his motive is, since he dares to kill someone in the military building, his background is definitely not simple. This is not something you can interfere with. Go back..”
