Since he could blend into one’s most important circle of friends in the future and appear in that photo, he probably wouldn’t be an enemy.
So, even though it was obvious that the other party was following them, ng Lang didn’t intend to expose him imdiately. Instead, he leisurely tailed after him, quietly watching his performance with interest.
The little guy who just left Novice Village was a bit flustered.
Even though his grade in the Covert Surveillance class was S, it couldn’t hold up under the intense gaze of the target he was trailing.
He had no clue how he got exposed, where he showed a flaw. At first, he could maintain his composure, but later he didn’t even know whether to step with his left foot or right foot, almost crashing into a lamppost.
Finally, under ng Lang’s amused gaze, he could only flee in panic, diving into the gate of the First-class Residence community...
Hmm? Living in the sa community?
At this point, Xiao Yu had also long noticed the boy’s odd behavior and leaned forward with her hand covering her mouth.
"Uncle, is he an enemy?"
"Probably not, but... it’s necessary to investigate..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up, as if a prompt sound flashed through her mind.
[Ding~ You’ve triggered the organization’s temporary task - investigate the mysterious little boy!]
"Uncle, leave this to ! I may not be able to help with other matters, but when it cos to school affairs, I’m the local snake!"
This age is when her curiosity is at its peak.
Ever since she went on an "academic study" trip with ng Lang and saw mysterious bases, unknown creatures, and brainwave helts like those only in movies...
It’s like a new world door opened for her.
Xiao Yu declares that she’s no longer interested in ordinary humans.
Aliens, people from the future, those from different worlds, super-powered individuals... aren’t they far more interesting than those ordinary humans?
And all of this... is within the organization!
She is now eager to earn recognition from ng Lang and officially move from "organizational reserve" to active mber.
An opportunity to gain organizational contribution points has co, hasn’t it?
She may not be able to handle the adult world, but a little kid... even if just out of Novice Village, isn’t he easy prey in her eyes?
ng Lang found it amusing; this little radish head actually thought of herself as a local tyrant...
But seeing Xiao Yu’s eager and hopeful little eyes, he couldn’t bear to dampen the little girl’s enthusiasm.
Oh well, oh well, just treat it as training the next generation.
With Xiao Yu’s current abilities, he didn’t have to worry too much about her safety; rather, he needed to worry about whether the school would be turned upside down...
"It’s not impossible to leave it to you, but pay attention to the thod. I don’t want to be called to the school by your class teacher for a reprimand."
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!"
Watching Xiao Yu’s excited figure running into the community, ng Lang shook his head with a smile.
He then thought of the cold and handso boy standing shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Yu and couldn’t help touching his chin.
Hmm... co to think of it, as the next generation of the organization, it’s necessary to cultivate one’s own team.
When the battles are fierce, we can’t rely solely on us old folks who’ve turned gray.
The younger generation is the future of the organization!
Although Xiao Yu is exceptionally talented, a good hero needs three helpers; even Zhuge Liang needed three ordinary minds.
Haven’t you seen those Crown Princes preparing for succession?
They have Young Masters, Young Tutors, Young Protectors... now that’s what you call professional.
Should we just...
Let Xiao Yu start an "All Things Return Association Branch" in school?
...
anwhile, at 1103.
"Sizzle~"
A spoonful of lard slid into the bottom of the pan, imdiately producing a cheerful sizzling sound.
The streaky pork slices curled into golden ripples in the hot oil, and the aroma of slightly charred at mixed with the sll of oil quickly surged up.
Next, Erjing strip peppers were cut into segnts and rolled into the pan. Their erald green skins shriveled under the high temperature, releasing a grassy spiciness that intertwined with the rich red oil of the soybean paste into an alluring aroma.
The clatter of at colliding with the spatula, the crackling of bursting peppers, and the hiss of soy sauce being poured in ford a symphony, performing the breath of life...
"Slap~" Off the stove, dish up~
As the pepper stir-fried pork was just served on the plate, Yan Weiwei, already tantalized by the aroma, grabbed a piece of at and stuffed it into her mouth.
Instantly, the fatty at lted between her teeth, releasing a rich bloom of oils, while the lean at fibers defiantly retained their chewiness, with the pepper skin crisp and tender. The spiciness slowly turned to a sweet aftertaste from the tongue to the throat.
The explosion of at aroma, sauce aroma, and pepper aroma in the mouth—this is the deadliest gentle trap in Hunan cuisine.
"Mmm~ delicious~ mmm mmm~ Haitang, what virtues did I cultivate in my past life to find a great bestie like you? I’ll definitely repay you in my next life..."
"Alright, stop flattering and help carry out the dishes. If you’re hungry, you can start eating. Xiao Yu and the others should be back soon." Lin Haitang said with a helpless smile.
Sotis she really felt like she was raising three children...
As she carried the last dish out of the kitchen, she saw Yan Weiwei eagerly grabbing at into her bowl while gulping down Five-Constant Rice.
Yan Weiwei had been running to the training ground frequently lately and sotis shouted for food before al tis.
Now Lin Haitang wasn’t working part-ti, even having the Chief of the Disciplinary Court help her sort out materials for work, greatly reducing her workload.
Plus, ng Lang and Xiao Yu had been mysteriously going to Gao Yuan for lessons and out for study, so the burden of logistics naturally fell on her shoulders.
During this ti, Lin Haitang tried to get ho early to cook, making a particular foodie extrely happy.
"Slow down, no one’s fighting with you for food."
"There wasn’t before, but now it’s hard to say..." Yan Weiwei muttered with her cheeks puffed.
Needless to say, big guy ng Lang sotis ate as if reincarnated from a starving ghost, and recently even Xiao Yu had started eating a lot more.
Plus, herself being a Dark Energy expert, the four of them sotis ate like seven or eight.
She used to not understand why, but ever since she used a Power Transformation experience card, she fully understood what energy conservation ant.
A family with three Power Transformations (pseudo), in an ordinary household, could eat you into poverty.
That’s why they say literature makes you poor, while martial arts make you rich...
"True, with the three of you around, the rat seeing our rice jar might as well despair," Lin Haitang laughed as she thought about it.
"Good thing we have our Haitang, mmm~ and my favorite Dongpo Pork, yum..."
Eating to fill her stomach, Yan Weiwei suddenly felt a bit puzzled as her eyes swept over the full table of dishes.
"By the way, Haitang, I’ve been busy just filling my stomach these days and didn’t realize, you seem to be cooking all my favorite dishes lately?"
Lin Haitang’s eyes darted evasively, "Why? You don’t like it when I make dishes you love?"
Could she say this was a "post-certificate syndro," with a constant urge to compensate?
"It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just..."
Just afraid I won’t be able to eat them in the future...
Previously, the only reason she convinced herself to stay here was to climb to the peak of martial arts.
Now, having obtained the "Overclocking Scripture 2.0" and experienced the Overclocking Potion once, she knew the secrets of Power Transformation.
Continuing to gain experience holds little aning for her now; it’s more about relying on her own understanding and exploration of that mystical realm...
Hmm! Perhaps there is also that magical potion.
But judging by ng Lang’s tone of sending a whole car, if she were to ask, it probably wouldn’t be difficult to have him send a few bottles over?
So, she has no reason to stay here anymore...
Thinking this, Yan Weiwei suddenly felt a bit lancholic; the food in her mouth lost so of its flavor.
Lin Haitang keenly noticed the change in Yan Weiwei’s mood.
"Weiwei, do you... are you hiding sothing from ?"
Since winning the bet, Yan Weiwei hadn’t seed very happy, except for practicing even harder every day, though she still had that carefree deanor.
But Lin Haitang, familiar with her, could vaguely sense she seed to have sothing on her mind...
"Is it about Elder Yan..."
"No! Don’t say that! It’s not true!"
Yan Weiwei quickly denies repeatedly, feeling guilty, thinking that old Yan Feng might have leaked information.
"That old man didn’t say anything to you, did he?"
"No..."
Seeing her nervous and evasive expression, Lin Haitang knew this matter should be related to Yan Feng.
"Actually, if Elder Yan has any requests, you can just let us know. Although ng Lang seems unreliable at tis, he nearly always resolves things when they co up. Asking him to help, he definitely wouldn’t refuse."
Help with what? Help with having a child?
With such a crazy request, even if Haitang agreed, I wouldn’t!
"Haitang, stop it, that old guy is just tired of life. Once I breakthrough to Power Transformation, I’ll break him to pieces!" Yan Weiwei gritted out.
That idea to have a child for money flashed briefly in her mind.
Not to ntion she’d never do anything against Lin Haitang, just the thought of asking ng Lang about this made her feel ashad enough to explode on the spot.
Indeed, to prevent Haitang and others from knowing, better to silence that old guy...
Just as Yan Weiwei gritted her teeth and nearly cracked the white porcelain bowl in her hand, the phone suddenly rang inappropriately.
[Love and hate are just a mont, raise a cup to the moon, love seems like the sky, love and hate are boundless, ask when you’ll fall in love...]
"Hello! Who’s there!"
Yet, one second she was murderous, the next she was shaken to her core.
Surprise, doubt, bewildernt, at a loss...
Various emotions flashed through her eyes, leaving her montarily stunned.
Clap~
The phone fell on the table.
...
As Xiao Yu and ng Lang stepped out of the elevator, they saw Lin Haitang and Yan Weiwei running out of the room looking a bit flustered.
"Hmm? What happened?"
ng Lang’s heart tightened, almost ready to activate the overclocking state.
Not blaming his reflexes, especially since his group of friends just almost "got wiped out" this afternoon. Seeing Yan Weiwei, always fearless, now in such a panic, he even thought the Night Demon Clan had arrived.
But Lin Haitang’s words left him stunned on the spot.
"Quickly, get to the hospital, Elder Yan has an accident..."
"What?!"
...
"Look, here, and here, there are intracranial tumors over 3 centiters, with obvious signs of tastasis, and they’re already starting to press on the nerves... that’s why the patient would suddenly faint without warning..."
Everyone stared at the doctor’s brain CT images in his hand, and all fell into silence.
Yan Weiwei stared blankly at the shadows on the image, her mind in chaos.
How could it be? That old guy always seed healthy, hardly even catching a cold or fever. How could this happen...
Like Yan Weiwei, ng Lang’s mind was also in chaos.
How could it be? The book never ntioned such a turn of events!
Could it be, this is why Yan Weiwei suddenly left, and why Yan Feng suddenly adopted a child?
Indeed, if Yan Feng didn’t have much ti left, Yan Weiwei would surely have to return to prepare to take over the family business.
Especially since he had no children of his own, adopting a child to make the old man happy before he left wouldn’t be unreasonable.
Though adopting a girl seed a bit peculiar, logically it made complete sense...
But... clearly this situation didn’t happen in the previous episode, why did it suddenly end up with a brain tumor in the next?
Tumors can be absent one episode and present the next?
Surely it’s not as if my butterfly wings accidentally fanned it into the brain?
Uh... it’s not like there aren’t such instances, like my stomach cancer which hasn’t appeared for a long ti; one could say the butterfly wings perfectly fanned it away.
Co to think of it, the only major influence I had on Elder Yan lately might just be giving Yan Weiwei that Overclocking Potion.
Could it be Elder Yan got overly excited seeing his daughter breakthrough to Power Transformation, leading to the brain ailnt?
But I’ve only heard of excitent causing a stroke, not excitent growing tumors?
And it only took days, from nothing to over three centiters...
These tumors must be growing on hormones, right?
Tumor: "..."
