"Rest assured, this matter is on me," Fang Mingchao said with ease and composure.
Han Shangwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Fang Mingchao would refuse to act. Before he could speak, Fang Mingchao added, "By the way, my people are almost in Ninghai. Where is Liang Mei?"
"She's at Ninghai University, by Xu Yaoyao's side," Han Shangwen replied.
Fang Mingchao fell silent. He clearly knew Xu Yaoyao's background and hesitated, "In that case, won't it be difficult to kill Liang Mei? After all, my people are all death row inmates, and I can't guarantee they'll only kill Liang Mei without harming Xu Yaoyao."
Han Shangwen also found it tricky.
But if Liang Mei wasn't killed, some of their actions would be exposed.
"Then we'll act according to the situation. If Xu Yaoyao interferes, take them both," Han Shangwen made a firm decision.
"I know Xu Hanchen. He's an extremely pedantic old fossil. Even if his granddaughter dies, he won't make a big fuss or investigate. In his words, he doesn't want to waste too many resources on personal matters."
"Mr. Fang, if your people are caught, won't they reveal something?"
Fang Mingchao shook his head, "You can rest assured. They've been thoroughly brainwashed. They are completely just killing machines."
Han Shangwen felt relieved and then said with a smile, "Then I wish us great success."
At that time.
Ninghai University.
Xu Yaoyao had nowhere to take Liang Mei. Liang Mei was already terrified by the deaths of Zhu Xiaotian and Yang Qianqian and dared not leave Xu Yaoyao's side.
"You don't need to worry. No one can kill you while I'm here," Xu Yaoyao said, seeing her state.
Liang Mei's eyes showed more gratitude. She said guiltily, "I'm truly sorry about what happened before. If I had known you were General Xu's granddaughter, I wouldn't have said those things."
Xu Yaoyao corrected her, "Even if I didn't have this identity, you shouldn't be so harsh to people. Being kind to others is the most basic etiquette."
Liang Mei nodded repeatedly. Compared to Xu Yaoyao, her heart was too narrow.
"Can you tell me what happened last night?" Xu Yaoyao asked curiously.
A hint of fear rose in Liang Mei's eyes, and she shook her head frantically, saying as if in a trance, "No, I can't tell you. I'll tell him when I see Chen JinChao. I know Chen JinChao is also a big figure, and only he can seek justice for Qianqian."
Xu Yaoyao didn't press further upon hearing this.
The problem facing them was where to hide from their pursuers.
The sports field?
That was definitely not an option, it was too open. If the other party had guns, they would die quickly.
The dormitory?
That wouldn't work either. If they were cornered at the entrance, they would have nowhere to hide.
After much deliberation, Xu Yaoyao finally took Liang Mei to the school cafeteria. It was nearing noon, and the cafeteria was already packed. Even if assassins infiltrated the cafeteria, they might not be able to find Xu Yaoyao immediately.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Xu Yaoyao felt it was still not right. She murmured, "Those people even dared to kill Zhu Xiaotian and Yang Qianqian. If they know we're in the cafeteria, we might implicate other classmates."
Xu Yaoyao had no doubt about the cruelty of the other party.
Liang Mei wanted to speak but stopped. She thought that if there were more people, her chances of survival would be higher. But thinking of her dependent situation, she didn't dare to say it.
"I've got it, come with me," a spark flashed in Xu Yaoyao's mind.
Liang Mei dared not resist and obediently followed Xu Yaoyao to the Ninghai University library. The study rooms in the library were crowded, but the book stacks had very few people. The numerous bookshelves made the terrain extremely complex. Even if those people found them, they wouldn't be able to locate them immediately, giving them enough time to delay until Chen JinChao arrived.
"You're so smart," Liang Mei said sincerely.
Xu Yaoyao replied, "This is nothing. My grades are in the top 3% of the college, but this little idea isn't considered smart."
Liang Mei still felt uneasy and hesitated, "I'm still a bit scared. I always feel that those people won't let us go easily. I hope my worries are unnecessary."
"Just relax. As long as we can hold on until Brother JinChao arrives," Xu Yaoyao was an optimist.
The two of them went to the third floor of the library. Standing outside the corridor, they could look down at the library entrance, which allowed them to carefully identify suspicious figures.
At the same time.
Two lean, dark-skinned youths entered the campus from the gate of Ninghai University. These two were the Black Blood Death Warriors who were following Fang Mingchao's orders.
Unlike what Xu Yaoyao and Liang Mei imagined, the two were not searching aimlessly like headless flies within Ninghai University. Instead, they headed directly to the Ninghai University library with a clear objective.
Fang Mingchao had long since obtained surveillance footage of Ninghai University through other channels, knowing Xu Yaoyao and Liang Mei's real-time locations. He also had people overseas send them their real-time location every minute.
This made things much easier.
Five minutes later, the two arrived at the library. The moment they entered, they tacitly looked up towards the third floor above the lobby.
Xu Yaoyao had been watching the people entering and exiting the library entrance. When the two below looked up at her, their gazes met in the air, sending a strong sense of alarm through Xu Yaoyao!
Her intuition told her that these two were very dangerous and were likely sent by those people to silence them!
Liang Mei also reacted. She turned to Xu Yaoyao and said, "They're here!"
Xu Yaoyao turned and walked into the book stacks without a word. As she walked, she said to Liang Mei, "It's strange. We hid so well. How did they know we were in the library? And their objective is too clear. It seems like our movements have long been tracked."
"Liang Mei, could it be you?"
Liang Mei waved her hands repeatedly, "Miss Xu, how could I dare? They killed Mr. Zhu and Miss Yang. They're clearly here to silence witnesses."
Xu Yaoyao nodded, feeling she had worried too much. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Hide your phone on a bookshelf. I suspect your phone has been monitored by them, otherwise, how could they know our whereabouts?"
Liang Mei did as she was told.
Then, Xu Yaoyao took another staircase to the book stacks on the fourth floor and hid behind a row of bookshelves, watching the entrance to the book stacks.
After only two minutes, Xu Yaoyao saw the two dark-skinned youths heading straight for the entrance of the fourth-floor book stacks. This meant they had completely controlled their movements!
Xu Yaoyao's heart raced, and she said in horror, "How did they do it?"
"Let's go, we can't stay on the fourth floor."
"This is insane!"
Liang Mei followed closely behind Xu Yaoyao, running back to the third floor as if she had lost her soul.
The commotion they made was not small. The two assassins who had just entered the book stacks entrance heard the noise. After exchanging glances, they immediately gave chase!
