314 Ye Lingchen the Braggar (1/2)
”Capital University, language department,” Ye Lingchen replied. It was no big secret.
'He's really a student!'
Sergeant Gao and the gang were taken aback, and at the same time mildly surprised that he was a student at Capital University. It was considered high achieving to be in that school.
”Capital University? You bought your way in right!?” Li Hu scoffed disdainfully.
He had already equated Ye Lingchen to a rich kid. If one were to say that Ye Lingchen got in based on his results, he would never believe that person.
”Li Hu, you're not allowed to speak from now on!” Sergeant Gao scowled. At first, he wanted to find out more about Ye Lingchen, but when he noticed Ye Lingchen being so young, he lost most of his interest. ”Brother Ye, our mission this time is rather special. There are risks of endangering your life. Are you sure you want to come along?”
”That's fine. I'm Xu Nan's master. If it's dangerous, all the more reason for me to tag along,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
Those words brought a frown to everyone's faces. No matter how they saw it, they sounded like tricks a playboy would use to captivate a woman's heart.
Seeing the smile on Xu Nan's face, their hearts turned cold. Mixed feelings of anger and disappointment welled up within them. What a detestable rich kid with flowery words!
”If that's the case, then come along,” Sergeant Gao stated coolly, then led the way.
Li Hu and the rest immediately followed behind. Ye Lingchen and Xu Nan were situated right at the back of the line.
”Sergeant Gao, why won't you let me expose that twerp?” Li Hu was frustrated. ”I'm having a headache just from watching that gigolo sweet talk!”
”If we expose him on the spot, wouldn't that make Xu Nan feel bad?” Sergeant Gao shook his head. ”It would seem that Xu Nan is too deeply engrossed at the moment. It's better that we settle this matter slowly. Furthermore, our mission comes first. It's better not to have Xu Nan suffer from emotional turmoil. We'll have more chances in the future.”
”Sigh, that's all we can do.” Li Hu stole a glance backward. Seeing Xu Nan and Ye Lingchen chattering happily, anger welled up from inside him again. ” You guys go on first. I'll stay back and be their third wheel!”
”Master, this mission is related to Earth's Gate. They're well known internationally and are extremely dangerous. You better be mentally prepared,” Xu Nan explained.
”Earth's Gate?” Ye Lingchen's brows twitched. 'Wasn't Earth's Gate under the Warrior's Association's scrutiny?'
Xu Nan's voice carried a certain severity. As a police officer, she was quite capable. However, when compared to a martial artist, she was still lacking. As the saying goes, heroes break the rules using martial arts. Martial artists were like beasts out of a cage; their threat levels were difficult to measure.
”Some time ago, we caught some people and finally learned of their stronghold.” Xu Nan paused for a moment, then smiled at Ye Lingchen as she continued, ”You won't be able to guess how I caught those people.”
”Hm?” Ye Lingchen looked at Xu Nan funnily, but he already had some speculations in his heart.
”It's because of Superman Y!” Xu Nan was a little excited. ”I heard from those at the scene that Superman Y managed to dodge bullets. That's just too amazing! I've heard of many deeds by Superman Y, but I never expected them to be real. It's too bad I couldn't see it with my own eyes.”
”Kid, did you hear that? The opponents have firearms. It's not too late to leave now!” Right then, a rough grumbling voice interjected as Li Hu approached them, looking at Ye Lingchen mockingly.
”Your mission this time is just to check out the reliability right?” Ye Lingchen smiled faintly, then stated, ”Up against Earth's Gate, the few of you are not enough. Furthermore, you guys are wearing casual clothing, obviously for the ease of staying hidden.”
”That's some decent observation!” Li Hu gave Ye Lingchen a weird look.
However, Ye Lingchen shook his head and continued, ”Nonetheless, you guys are too naive.”
