Chapter 1021: Reinforcements Arrive
Arriving at the school gate, Ling Feng stopped in his steps, not saying anything.
Chen Yan couldn’t restrain herself any longer and hurriedly asked, "How did you know Tian Hao was lying, and what are we waiting for here? Your backup?"
"Yes, waiting for backup. As for Tian Hao lying, I guessed!" Ling Feng replied.
"How are you so good at guessing? I didn’t even see..."
Before Chen Yan could finish her sentence, an Iveco van pulled up at the school entrance.
Following, Zhou Yi came first, Xun Qianqian, Miao Lanlan, Joanna, and Mo Lan, five girls hopped down from the van one by one.
These five young women were all of similar height, all gracefully figured and pretty-faced beauties, instantly stunning Chen Yan.
Ling Feng was also a bit speechless, these five girls, fashionably dressed, it was clear without asking that they had just returned from traveling abroad since they were each holding a big suitcase.
Seeing them looking at him, Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Did you spent a lot traveling around Europe?"
Zhou Yi didn’t answer, turning to look at the other four girls, "Was I wrong? The first thing he’d definitely ask upon meeting is about money!"
"You know him too well!"
Xun Qianqian smiled and then glared at Ling Feng, "Stingy, we all have money, who cares about spending yours? It’s just that I spent a few hundred thousand of yours!"
"Only that, today I was almost killed by a mere 200 yuan!" Ling Feng said exasperatedly.
"Serves you right, who told you not to check your account balance!" Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes at him.
"Alright stop arguing, {Is there a guest house for us to arrange accommodations first!" Zhou Yi inquired.
Ling Feng paused, then turned back to look at Chen Yan, "Does the school have a place to stay?"
"Yes, there is."
Chen Yan was utterly confused already, not knowing the relationship among these people, but seeing their cheerful and intimate demeanor made it clear they were very close.
Initially, she only knew that Ling Feng was no ordinary person, but seeing so many beautiful girls coming to find him, she realized she had underestimated him.
Suddenly, Chen Yan felt a pang of jealousy, followed by a sense of inferiority, feeling completely incomparable to them!
Whether in style, temperament, or appearance, she felt utterly disadvantaged!
And hearing her speak, Xun Qianqian, who had been unrestrained in her speech, teased, "No way, uncle, you just arrived and already found a soulmate?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, Chen Yan is helping me, she is a student here!" Ling Feng glared at her.
Xun Qianqian oh’d, then said, "I guess she also can’t escape your clutches!"
Zhou Yi sighed, and ignoring their chatters, walked towards Chen Yan, "Miss, don’t listen to them, where is the guest house, can you lead us there?"
"Oh, alright."
Chen Yan feeling a warmth in her heart as Zhou Yi took her hand, turned and began walking towards the school building.
The security guard at the gate had been watching everyone, and at this moment stepped forward, saying, "What are you doing? Unauthorized persons are not allowed in the school."
"Here’s my ID, I’m a student here, can’t my friends come in?" Ling Feng handed over his student ID.
Right now, a student ID was more useful than any work ID, especially as security personnel might not recognize IDs from the Security Bureau!
As expected, after seeing the student ID, the security guard nodded, "You can go in, but you need to register!"
"No problem, we all brought our IDs!"
Zhou Yi said, as the five girls each pulled out their IDs.
Handing them over for the security guard to see, he was suddenly stunned.
All five IDs were from the Security Bureau, and each of the young women was a state-level officer!
However, the name Security Bureau was new to him, so he looked up bewildered, "Is this, are these real?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Yi asked with a half-smile.
"Uh, I think it’s real."
The security guard pondered for a moment, thinking that if someone were faking things, they wouldn’t be so brazen about it. These girls had an extraordinary demeanor and appeared spirited. He decided it was better not to stir up trouble.
Thus, he quickly registered them and then let them through.
Walking on the road, as Chen Yan was present, Ling Feng found it inappropriate to ask too much. He merely inquired about their experiences in Europe, and while chatting, they arrived at the university’s facility designated for hosting guests.
This was an internal hotel named Reception Hall, which was decorated luxuriously and of decent quality.
At the entrance, Chen Yan said to Ling Feng, "I won’t disturb you all any further, I’ll head back first."
"I’ll escort you; it’s not safe late at night."
Ling Feng said it outright, then told Zhou Yi, "You all go check in, I’ll come back later!"
"Alright, we’ll wait for you!"
Zhou Yi nodded his head and led everyone into the hotel.
On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Yan was silent, her head down, lost in thoughts.
Ling Feng’s mind was preoccupied with the person impersonating Tian Hao, and he didn’t notice the shift in her expression.
When they reached the entrance of the girls’ dormitory, Chen Yan stopped, "Men are not allowed inside, you should head back."
"Okay, then I’m leaving!"
Ling Feng nodded and turned to leave, but Chen Yan suddenly hesitated and quickly called out to him, "Wait!"
"Is there something else?"
Ling Feng turned back, looking puzzled.
"Those girls, what is your relationship with them?" Chen Yan asked with her head down.
Ling Feng was startled for a moment, then smiled, "They are all my colleagues and friends."
"Really?"
Chen Yan was somewhat skeptical since their conversation had been very casual and intimate, not merely the simple interaction among friends.
"Yes, don’t overthink it. Hurry up to go upstairs, get washed up and rest, I’ll find you tomorrow if there’s anything!"
After saying this, Ling Feng waved his hand and turned away.
"No need, I have classes all day tomorrow!"
After watching his figure walking away, Chen Yan sighed and turned to enter the dormitory building.
...
...
Ling Feng returned to the Reception Hall where Zhou Yi and the others had already changed into home clothes and were waiting for him.
After sitting down, they recounted the events so far, and then Ling Feng summarized, "The strangest thing now is Director Chen’s outright certainty that the person won’t flee but will stay in this school, and I don’t know why."
"He definitely has his reasons for not telling; let’s just continue our search here!"
Zhou Yi remarked, then asked, "So the weird egg was eaten by them, and then nothing happened?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Yeah, I also find it very strange, how could there be no change at all!"
At this point, Xun Qianqian spoke up, "Why should there be any change? Eating a chicken egg or a duck egg, should there be a change?"
"But it fell from the sky!" Ling Feng exclaimed.
"Even if it fell from the sky, it’s just an egg. Who told you it was some kind of magical cure? Couldn’t it just be an egg that could be hatched?" Xun Qianqian questioned.
Her remark left Ling Feng speechless, then he suddenly slapped his forehead, "Could their death be because they ate the egg and were retaliated against?"
