Chapter 145 Going on a date on Ghost Festival night, who else could be so uninhibited?
"I did have something to do, helping Uncle Liu with a task, but it's basically finished now. Where are your classes located? Take me to see it!"
"I knew something was up? Catching spies?" Her eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement, and she seemed eager to try.
"Is this a joke? You'd better not come any closer. No matter how good your kung fu is, you can't outrun a bullet!" Tong Yuheng didn't want her to take any risks. Who could say the danger was completely over? What if the enemy had sent more than one group of agents?
"But what if bad guys come after us? How serious is it? What do they want? Kidnapping? Who is their target? Maybe I can help?" Xiao Wu was still interested and asked a series of questions.
"Yuhan, listen to me, this is very serious. Extremists have planted bombs on campus to carry out terrorist attacks, create disturbances, and retaliate for the destruction of their organization."
This wasn't a targeted attack! Thankfully, most of the bombs have been defused...
"Is it that serious? We're all in danger. What can I do?"
"If anything really happens, protecting yourself is the most important thing. If possible, protect your classmates as well. Be alert, and if you notice anyone suspicious, tell me immediately! Don't alert them!"
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Discuss this matter quietly with your second sister. Remember, don't act rashly!"
"Okay, sis, I'm going back to prepare for class now!" Yu Han pursed her lips, said goodbye and left first, leaving Tong Yuheng to continue wandering aimlessly around the campus.
Yu Han was nervous inside, but she didn't show it on her face. After returning to the dormitory, she saw Yu Yao and the others still doing math problems. She called out to everyone, "It's time for class," and then pulled Yu Yao out first, quietly telling her what her older sister had told her.
The training schedule has been quite full these past few days, with both large and small group classes. The large group classes are in the morning, and the small group classes, divided into two groups of ten, are in the afternoon. They are not in the same class; each goes to their own classroom to attend the classes.
All afternoon, Tong Yuheng searched the vast campus, covering almost every possible location where dangerous goods might be stored. Taking advantage of the space, she even checked almost every room.
Her small metal detector was still vibrating occasionally, though it mostly detected ordinary metal, not the bomb she was looking for.
She found two bombs and quietly put them away. She also packaged the fake bombs she had made in her spatial storage and returned them. Then she sent a message to Li Chengsong or Liu Fengyi, asking them to have someone keep an eye on them and catch them one by one.
Because Liu Fengyi could no longer obtain information from that special "comrade-in-arms," he could only conduct a more cautious and careful investigation.
The morning's arrests were very effective, and all the bombs were defused, but it also alerted the enemy agents who were hiding deep inside, and they went into hiding again.
The school is now under lockdown, with both police and military personnel monitoring it. Li Chengsong and Liu Fengyi, along with the experts, are conducting another thorough search of every corner of the school.
No one who is still in school can leave now, and the atmosphere has become extremely tense! Many college students who stayed in school and did not go home are hiding in their dormitories and not going out.
That evening, Tong Yuheng still came to have dinner with her two younger sisters, but she didn't talk to them much. The two sisters already knew that the situation was serious, but seeing their eldest sister's carefree demeanor, they felt much more relaxed.
Tong Yuheng suggested going outside for a walk so as not to disturb their studies. She invited Li Chengsong for a stroll, and the two continued to investigate suspicious individuals while also having a date.
Yu Han didn't follow either. She was interested in what her second sister was learning, but since she lacked the basic knowledge, she couldn't understand it. So Yu Yao gave her the high school textbooks she had brought and told her to preview them, since she would be going to high school soon anyway.
The training course has been going on for seven days now, and today happens to be the Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival.
At this time, it is not advisable to promote festivals with feudal superstitious ideas. Although students do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, they still will not go out for a walk or enjoy the night view tonight.
The tense atmosphere of the daytime seemed to have disappeared, but there was almost no one in the park. Tong Yuheng and Li Chengsong strolled together on campus.
The streetlights cast a dim, yellowish light, enveloping the two figures and giving them a hazy glow, creating a sense of tranquility and peace.
"So, are we on a mission or on a date?" Tong Yuheng asked. Who else would be so uninhibited about dating on Ghost Festival night?
"Hmm, I guess you could call it a date! Isn't there a saying: 'The moon rises above the willow branches, and lovers meet after dusk'? This scene feels more like a date."
"Wow! That's so sour! You like poetry too?"
Tong Yuheng hadn't investigated Li Chengsong. Although they were dating, they hadn't spent much time alone together to learn about each other's interests, talents, or past experiences. This was why Tong Yuheng wanted them to spend more time together and didn't want to get married too quickly.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm a top student too. I got into Peking University when I was sixteen, and I only joined the army after studying there for half a year." Li Chengsong said proudly.
"Wow! Why didn't you continue your studies?" Tong Yuheng really wanted to go to university. Her mother and uncle were both top students, and she envied those students who could study at nationally renowned universities.
She had never attended university in either her past or present life, which was a great pity. However, by the time this major movement ended, she was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old and didn't want to go back to school so late.
"Grandpa really wanted one of his grandchildren to join the army. I was the only boy in the family, so I went."
"Would you feel regretful? Would you still want to go to university if you had the chance in the future?" Tong Yuheng thought that if it were her, she might also choose to join the army.
"I was a little regretful at first, but I got over it quickly. I loved military life. I was promoted to officer two years after enlisting and went to military academy for more than six months of training, so you could say I attended a military university!"
"If we have the chance, let's go to university together. Let's go to the most prestigious university. I'm determined to become a college student in my lifetime!" Tong Yuheng expressed his wish.
"Okay, you said it yourself. Don't have the chance and then not go!" Li Chengsong said with a smile.
"I'll definitely go. With Uncle Liu taking care of my mom and sisters, I'll be free!"
Unexpectedly, Li Chengsong's joke soon came true, making Tong Yuheng wonder if it was because of his nagging.
"You trust Uncle Liu that much? I should learn from him. Your family accepted him so quickly, but they seem a little distant from me."
Tong Yuheng: You think you can compare to him? He's my own father! Of course, I'm talking about Xinzi!
"It's because you didn't run around as often as him!" Tong Yuheng said jokingly.
"Then I'll have to go more often from now on. Don't find me annoying." Li Chengsong seized the opportunity and decided to visit the Tong family more often in the future.
