AWB Chapter 179 He's showing off, isn't he?
Chapter 179 He's showing off, isn't he?
After a whole afternoon of shoving and tumbling, Lin Xi finally took a shower, and the sticky feeling all over her body finally disappeared. She glanced at the time and realized it was almost time to meet Huo Chuan, so she hurriedly headed to the principal's office.
Li Xiaonuan and the others felt that Lin Xi was acting mysteriously, going out at this time every day, but they all tacitly refrained from asking Lin Xi where she was going. Everyone has their own little secrets.
Dong Yongshu had been waiting in the principal's office for a long time, humming a little tune in a particularly good mood. But when he heard the knock on the door, he immediately stopped smiling and said, "Come in."
"Principal, I've come to get my phone."
Dong Yongshu opened the drawer and handed her the phone. He coughed a few times and said awkwardly, "Military training is tough. You need to go to bed early to conserve your energy, okay?"
Lin Xi's expression became even more unnatural. What did it mean? Was it simply concern for her, or a warning about staying up late to study with a flashlight?
She had a general understanding of Principal Dong's personality; he was extremely strict, and she had never seen him smile in all the time she had known him. He was probably warning her.
"Thank you, Principal. I understand."
Sigh, we have to rest in the dorms on time, and we have to sneak around to read a book. After military training, we have to commute home.
After Lin Xi left, Dong Yongshu smiled. Lin Xi had really misunderstood; Dong Yongshu was simply reminding her to go to bed early.
The dormitory aunt caught Lin Xi studying with a flashlight late at night several times. After her advice was ignored, she reported it to Dong Yongshu today.
Dong Yongshu originally wanted to give Lin Xi a stern lecture, asking how he could ensure his training during the day if he didn't rest properly. However, when he looked out the window, he saw Lin Xi was full of energy and punching with more vigor than anyone else.
He was even able to fight Chen Liang to a standstill, which shocked Chen Liang to no end.
Who is Chen Liang? He's a member of the Fierce Tiger Commando Team, a special forces soldier who has undergone countless rigorous training sessions.
How could he possibly criticize Lin Xi? He was too busy praising her. But Dong Yongshu would never admit that he had been peeping through the window. Principal Dong, who had never directly shown concern for students before, surprisingly expressed his concern, which unexpectedly strengthened Lin Xi's determination to commute to school.
Dong Yongshu sat in his swivel chair, happily spinning around like a child. He was proud of his students' success, and he also felt honored that Instructor Chen had worked hard today. He had to go and offer his regards.
When Dong Yongshu came in, Shen Shu was massaging Chen Liang. Chen Liang grimaced, "Hiss hiss hiss, Captain, be gentle! Be gentle!"
"Bear with it. If you don't activate these acupoints, it will hurt for several more days."
"Captain Shen, Instructor Chen, sorry to bother you, hahaha."
The usually stern Dong Yongshu let out a rare hearty laugh, strode closer, and seeing the bruises all over Chen Liang's body, asked in surprise, "Instructor Chen, what happened...?"
Could it have been Lin Xi who hit him?
Chen Liang, who had just been wincing in pain, immediately composed himself and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I was just sparring with a student."
Shen Shu's men didn't stop working. "Didn't Principal Dong see everything today?"
Dong Yongshu didn't expect that he had been discovered while peeking out the window. "Hahaha, Captain Shen's eyesight is really exceptional. No wonder he is the captain of the Fierce Tiger Commando Team. Oh dear, my student is also like this, he doesn't know his own strength. Kids are just so competitive, hahaha."
Speaking of which, she was only nine years old and skipped directly from elementary school. The director of the education bureau personally supervised the exam. She got a perfect score on the skipping exam, so I was admitted through special admission.
Originally, we thought that since the child was young, we could let Instructor Chen go easy on him during training. We didn't expect the child to be so physically fit. He could withstand Instructor Chen's training even though he stayed up late studying every night.
No wonder she was able to rescue people from the fire and even made the news. You don't know, a while ago there was a big fire in the forest in Danbei. Lin Xi went in with the firefighters and rescued several people. Her hair was burned off.
"Oh, haha, enough of that. I just came to see Instructor Chen. He must have worked hard training the students these past few days. The students at No. 1 Middle School are so lucky to be trained by the Fierce Tiger Commando Team. I'm sure they'll benefit greatly from it."
After saying that, he patted Chen Liang on the shoulder and said, "Instructor Chen, you should rest well. Captain Shen, you can continue the massage, hahaha."
After saying these words, Dong Yongshu left gracefully. Chen Liang looked at Shen Shu with a puzzled expression. "Captain, what did he come here for? Was he showing off?"
Shen Shu nodded. "Congratulations, you've finally developed a brain."
When Dong Yongshu returned, Lin Xi hadn't finished her phone call. Huo Chuan sounded cheerful and clearly very happy today. After explaining the progress of the investigation, he said, "Lin Xi, you're amazing! We've conducted a comprehensive investigation and surveillance of Li Daqian's family over the past few days and found that his wife is acting strangely."
Not only are there large sums of money flowing through her accounts, but she also frequently hosts parties, bribes many wives of high-ranking officials, and makes dissenting remarks both openly and covertly. I'm certain she's a member of the Dark Falcon Alliance.
A smile appeared on Lin Xi's face. Her guess had been confirmed, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"The work in Z province can be finished now."
Huo Chuan said excitedly, "Yes, I didn't expect the investigation to be completed so quickly. It's all thanks to you."
"Where to go next?"
"Go to Sichuan Province."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and instructed, "It's not very safe there, so you must carry your gun with you at all times."
Following the course of events in the previous life, Huo Chuan encountered obstruction from villagers during his investigation and was besieged in the mountains for three days and three nights. No one expected that the Dark Falcon Alliance would bribe the villagers and use them as shields.
Huo Chuan and his companions nearly starved to death, but their results were remarkable; they found a domestic stronghold of the Dark Falcon Alliance.
This time, with her here, there's no need to suffer unnecessarily.
Huo Chuan asked in confusion, "Do we need to carry a gun at all times?"
It's not that serious, is it?
Lin Xi said seriously, "It must be carried at all times. Also, there must always be enough water and food in the car."
If you don't believe me, just wait and see what happens.
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Huo Chuan the actual situation directly, but she was afraid that if she did, things would change and have unpredictable effects, causing the later developments to deviate from the trajectory of the previous life. In that case, they would lose the advantage of being able to predict.
Moreover, it would be bad if what was supposed to be a successful outcome turned into failure or caused more setbacks. Who knows if these setbacks might result in loss of life?
It's a bit troublesome now, but at least everything is under her control, which can speed up the investigation while ensuring their safety.
After communicating with Lin Xi for the past few days, Huo Chuan had developed full trust in her. Carrying a gun and preparing plenty of food were not difficult tasks; he could simply do as instructed.
Unexpectedly, this action later brought him great convenience.
The investigation team praised him for his foresight and foresight. Because of his youth, those older guys who were initially unconvinced by him now trusted him even more.
