Chapter 555 Following Up On the Inciden (1/2)

Lin Huang turned on the soundproof barrier in the library cubicle and picked up Liu Ming's call.

Liu Ming looked distressed in the video call, but he was relieved as soon as he saw Lin Huang.

”Brother, where are you?”

”I'm in the library. Are you back in college?” Lin Huang replied and asked a question that he already knew the answer to.

”Yes, I just got back in the middle of the night. I wanted to spend more time on my trip, but I got a notification from the Union Government, so I got back right away.”

Are you alright?” He asked Lin Huang in concern.

”I'm alright, but I don't know why the dorm has been destroyed.” Lin Huang looked helpless, pretending that he had no idea what had happened.

”Well, I do know something about that…” Liu Ming rubbed his nose as he had witnessed how the dorm was destroyed.

”Are you free now? Drop by my office. There's something that I need to tell you, but we can't discuss that here.”

”Sure.” Lin Huang nodded and hung up. He flew from the library towards the office building.

Two minutes later, he appeared at the dean's office. As soon as he entered the office, Liu Ming took out a white sphere and pressed the b.u.t.ton in the middle. A wave rippled and soon, the entire room was covered in a transparent bubble.

”Take a seat.” Liu Ming then got up and gestured to Lin Huang to sit on the couch as he sat across him.

”What're you going to tell me that you don't want people to know?” Lin Huang smiled.

”You knew what happened during the middle of the night, don't you?” Liu Ming asked.

”I know about the monster horde in the southern border. I joined the battle as well,” Lin Huang affirmed. ”What's wrong? How's that related to my dorm being destroyed?”

”Actually, not only was there a monster horde last night. The city was attacked. Your dorm was destroyed by one of the attackers who wanted to capture you alive,” Liu Ming explained.

”Capture me alive? Why? Who was it?” Lin Huang fired the two questions that he really wanted to know.

”I've no idea why he wanted to capture you alive, but I was fighting him. That's how I know he was coming for you. I have my own a.s.sumptions about who the person was, but I can't be so sure. The only thing that I'm sure of is that he's a chief-level from one of the top underground organizations.”

”Do you mean he invaded the White Capital just for me?” Lin Huang frowned.

”No, it was just a convenience to capture you. Their main purpose was to get the Saint's first and second elders' dead bodies, which they managed to get.” Liu Ming did not hide the truth.

”How about the monster horde? Was it orchestrated by the same group of people?” Lin Huang asked again.

”The monster horde was meant to stop the imperial-levels from entering the southern border while buying time for their partners in the city to escape,” Liu Ming explained.

After Liu Ming's explanation, Lin Huang finally understood what had really happened. He had been speculating why would the imperial-levels want to get into the city, why would they drive the monster horde in only to reveal their ident.i.ty… Now, everything made sense.

”So, did we get any of the attackers?” Lin Huang frowned.
