Chapter 114 – Round and Round
After receiving the Spiral Ascending Aircraft, Chen Yu faced the camera and revealed an evil smile under his mask. He then wore the propeller on his head.
“Move away from me. Stay at least 300 meters away.”
“You need to be careful!” Little Peach said worriedly. “How about I take your place?”
“…If I let you do it, will I even have a chance of surviving?”
Little Peach: “…”
After shooing Little Peach away, Chen Yu fixed the aircraft’s three clamps onto his body. He then tightened his grip on the lightsaber’s hilt before powering it up and adjusting the blade’s length and width to their maximum.
Buzz!
After bidding goodbye to his audience, Chen Yu turned off his livestream without hesitation.
Simultaneously, as everyone’s screens turned black, a dense swarm of bullet comments also started flowing by…
…
Beijing, the office of the special situation team’s team leader:
The middle-aged team leader shut his eyes tiredly as he closed his laptop’s screen.
Tactfully, Xiao Li, who stood at a side, hurriedly stepped forward and helped massage the team leader’s temples.
“Ah…”
The middle-aged team leader sighed comfortably.
“Leader, you look exhausted. You should rest earlier.”
“I just took some medication, so I can’t fall asleep,” the team leader said as he slowly shook his head. “How is the progress of those two tunnel-digging fools?”
“Their progress is somewhat slow,” Xiao Li answered. “They are frequently coming into contact with the several surrounding ‘squads.’ It seems they are planning some sort of action. However, they should dig into Chen Yu’s warehouse by tomorrow at the latest.”
“Be ready for it.”
“Yes. I’ve already made the necessary arrangements.”
“How is the replacement of Sixth High’s teachers coming along?”
“Aside from the teachers Chen Yu frequently comes into contact with, we’ve already replaced one-third of the school’s remaining teachers.”
“That’s enough. You can stop now.” The middle-aged team leader nodded approvingly. “We can’t be too obvious. Also, make sure to occupy the surrounding area.”
“Please rest assured. We’ve already replaced many people residing in the three nearby residential districts and one commercial district. As for the remaining residents, we have put them under surveillance. We have even apprehended three wanted internet criminals.”
“Your work lets me rest easy. By the way, what do you think of Transdimensional Review’s additional livestream today?”
“…” After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Li answered, “I don’t have any opinions. I only know that ‘some people’ will once more state that Chen Yu will become increasingly dangerous if we do not apprehend him now.”
“Those people aren’t exactly wrong either. Chen Yu himself has already stated that his access level has been increased and that he will reveal even more advanced technology starting next month. He will indeed become increasingly dangerous if that is true, even though he is already plenty dangerous.”
Opening his eyes, the middle-aged team leader picked up a burning cigarette on the table and placed it into his mouth. After taking a puff, he continued, “Everyone is worried, panicked even. It’s just that some people are more courageous and dare to cut off all means of retreat. We, on the other hand, are cowardly. We are worried about too many things and dare not take risks.”
“However, we have already analyzed Chen Yu’s psychological portrait many times. He shouldn’t engage in malicious sabotage and-”
“That is only a possibility,” the middle-aged man said, cutting off Xiao Li’s words. Exhaling a mouthful of smoke, he continued, “Just the act of letting an individual get their hands on so many frightening technologies already poses a significant danger. Moreover, he is only a high school student. He also has a somewhat reckless behavior. Even if he is subjectively innocent, he might bring about a major disaster due to operational errors.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li went silent for a moment before saying, “Leader, I’m sure the higher-ups would’ve considered this.”
“In reality, if not for that letter Chen Yu left for us, the higher-ups would’ve long since allowed me to make contact with Chen Yu.”
“W-What was written in the letter?”
The middle-aged team leader suddenly stopped smoking. Turning around, he stared at Xiao Li with a sharp gaze.
“…”
Startled, Xiao Li subconsciously stepped back.
For a moment, a depressive silence overwhelmed the office.
After a long time, the middle-aged man extinguished his cigarette and shut his eyes once more. “How can you make such a low-level mistake.”
“Leader…”
“Don’t make me misunderstand.”
“Yes…”
