Chapter 66 – Opening Strike
Creak…
The creaking sound of the wooden door was particularly harsh in the silent living room.
“What are you trying to do?!” Chen Yu demanded.
“We only wish to take a look at your living environment, Student Chen Yu,” the middle-aged team leader said, a dangerous glint flashing across his eyes as he calmly grabbed at the corner of Chen Yu’s shirt.
As for the four other people in the living room, three of them rested their hands on their gun holsters while one of them held up the communicator in his hand. So long as an incident occurred, he would immediately call for reinforcements from the army of policemen outside.
Meanwhile, after exchanging a solemn look with the policeman beside him, Xiao Li pulled hard on the door!
Creak!
“Mhm.”
“Leader, according to what I’ve heard from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, quite a few recorded foreign agents have already entered the country.”
“Mhm.” Nodding, the middle-aged team leader spat out a mouthful of smoke and shut his eyes before muttering, “What an eventful autumn…”
At these words, silence returned to the inside of the elevator.
Meanwhile, to the group’s ignorance, an invisible, spherical camera was secretly filming them.
…
Nineteenth floor, Chen Yu’s house:
Collapsing powerlessly onto the sofa, Chen Yu wiped off the cold sweat formed on his forehead.
The instant the government agent opened the Interstellar Portal’s door, Chen Yu honestly thought he was doomed. He had even prepared himself to confess everything to get more lenient treatment.
However, Chen Yu never thought that the cross-dressing shut-in would cause everyone to grow awkward and have their thoughts “warped.” In the end, the government agent only did a brief survey of the room before quickly leaving and closing the door.
Also, the moment the government agent had closed the door, Chen Yu had swiftly and secretly severed the spatial link using his invisible watch, preventing the cross-dressing shut-in from charging out of the room in a fit of rage after snapping out of his daze. Should he allow that to happen, he really would be exposed completely.
Extending his hand, Chen Yu grabbed for the cup of water sitting on the coffee table. After emptying the glass in one big gulp, he raised his wrist and disabled his watch’s invisibility function. He then started carefully observing the actions of the government agents.
As the saying went, propriety suggests reciprocity. The other party had gone as far as to send hundreds of people to knock on his door and scare him. It would be inappropriate for him not to pay them back in kind.
Hence, throughout the morning and afternoon, Chen Yu did nothing but observed the “national team”‘s every action. And through his observation, he managed to determine the actual number of people working in the investigation group, the responsibilities of each group member, the group’s current living quarters, how the group members addressed each other, as well as the group’s subsequent plans. He had also found out about the secret codes they used to communicate with each other as well as the color of the underwear they wore.
They’re going to investigate Third High after Sixth High. I’ll take action once they start their investigations! I definitely won’t let them catch me this time!
Shutting his eyes and falling into deep thought, Chen Yu’s mind gradually formed a “sinister” plan that would “paralyze” his opponents. And upon developing this plan, the corner of his lips unconsciously lifted up.
After returning to his room and seeing the mess on the floor, Chen Yu felt a terrible headache. He then spent the next hour cleaning the dust and debris inside his room.
By the time Chen Yu was done cleaning, Mother Chen had also returned home. And upon noticing the dirty shoe prints all over the floor, she angrily pulled at Chen Yu’s ear and yelled, “Chen Yu! Why is the floor so dirty?! What did you do?!”
“Ouch! It hurts! Mom! It hurts, it hurts! I’ll clean it up right now!”
…
By the time Chen Yu was done cleaning up the entire house, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
All three of his younger sisters had returned home already, with one reciting words, one drawing pictures, and one running around the house while holding a gold-plated feeding bottle. The house was filled with liveliness once more.
“Big Brother! Come and play with me!” Chen Sanke said as she waved at Chen Yu while holding her feeding bottle.
“Pass,” Chen Yu answered as he dragged his heavy feet back into his room. He then sprawled himself onto his bed, the only thing on his mind being his sore back.
The events today had truly exhausted him.
“Damn it, it seems I was still too benevolent with my previous counterattack plan. I should be a little more ruthless…”
