Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 398 Zhao Heyan

"Commander, she seems to be your old classmate."

Due to the distance, Lin Lan hadn't seen the other party's appearance clearly, but the company had already recognized the other party.

When following Lin Lan at the pier before, the company noticed that this girl was at the forefront of the group of students coming from the academy, so they also had some impressions.

"My old classmate?"

Lin Lan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words of the enterprise.

But before he thought about who it would be, the other party had already noticed their arrival.

And Lin Lan finally saw the other party's appearance clearly by the street lamp light.

It was Zhao Heyan, the student council president of Hongye Naval Academy.

For this student council president, Lin Lan didn't have much contact with him, at most, it could be regarded as a few acquaintances.

All he knew was that Zhao Heyan had an extraordinary family background and was very close to many instructors at the Naval Academy.

"She didn't go to the city with Ji Chenlin and other student union members, so why is she here? Could it be that she stayed here specially for me?"

The other party must have seen the emergency news broadcast just now, so Lin Lan has already begun to think in his heart how to explain it to him.

Soon, he brought the White Eagle Fleet ladies to Zhao Heyan.

Zhao Heyan, who was wearing a school uniform at this time, had piled up a lot of snow and was stained with a lot of dust, and even half of the glass of his glasses was broken, which can be described as extremely embarrassing.

And probably because he had been standing in the snow wind, Zhao Heyan's face was also a little pale from the cold.

After seeing him approaching with the White Eagle girls, Zhao Heyan showed him a weary smile:

"Senior Lin, long time no see. We heard that you came back from the Western Continent, but we still didn't believe it. We didn't expect you to bring such a sensational news as soon as you came back."

Zhao Heyan himself is only a third grader, one class lower than Lin Lan, so it is no problem to call him a senior.

"Ahem, President Zhao, I've only been away for less than half a year, which isn't too long, but why didn't you enter Hongye City with the others?"

Lin Lan wanted to change the topic, but it was obvious that Zhao Heyan also saw this, so she shook her head with a smile and said:
"Senior Lin, since I'm waiting here alone, I must have something to say to you. I hope you can listen to me."

Before Lin Lan could speak, Zhao Heyan threw out a piece of news that surprised Lin Lan:

"Actually, I am the daughter of the Tianxing Consortium, Zhao Tianyi's own daughter, and the person you hate the most, Zhao Hesheng's twin sister."

"?!"

Lin Lan couldn't believe his ears. He stared blankly at the student president of the Hongye City Naval Academy in front of him, and took a deep breath.

But when he looked at Zhao Heyan, it didn't look like he was joking at all.

You know, Zhao Hesheng is the enemy of all the students of Hongye Naval Academy.

But that guy's own sister, Zhao Heyan, who is the daughter of the Tianxing Consortium, actually concealed her identity and went to school at Hongye Naval Academy?

And the student council president?

Could this be a conspiracy by the Tianxing Consortium to infiltrate Hongye Naval Academy?

Seeing Lin Lan's eyes turn cold instantly, Zhao Heyan smiled helplessly, and slowly explained:
"Senior Lin, I am different from my father and my brother. I have always been a staunch naval faction. It is my own choice to enroll at Hongye Naval Academy, and it has nothing to do with them."

"As for my father and my brother's persecution of the students of the Naval Academy, I only found out after I enrolled, so I joined the student union and have been secretly inquiring about information in the Tianxing Financial Group to prevent the students from being hurt more in advance... ..."

"On this point, Senior Lin can ask Mr. Ji, and he can testify."

After hearing Zhao Heyan's sincere words, Lin Lan looked at the enterprise standing beside him.

And the enterprise nodded slightly to him, saying that Zhao Heyan was not lying.

"If that's the case, then why are you telling me these things? It's impossible for me to let your brother Zhao Hesheng let him go. It's useless for you to plead with me."

After learning of Zhao Heyan's true identity, Lin Lan was not as polite as before.

Although Zhao Heyan has always been responsible as the president of the student union, Zhao Hesheng is also her twin brother after all.

The student of the Hongye Naval Academy who died in an accident created by Zhao Hesheng is probably close to three digits. He couldn't swallow the pain in his heart if he didn't kill that psychopath before leaving the United States of Oran.

Just because he let the killer go, doesn't mean he will let Zhao Hesheng go.

"My brother... hey, I'm not pleading for him."

Seeing that Lin Lan's tone was obviously hostile, Zhao Heyan hurriedly said:

"Senior Lin, I have watched the emergency news broadcast just now. I very much support you in disbanding the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce, but I have something to tell you."

"There seems to be something wrong inside the Tianxing Financial Group. My father seems to have changed himself during this time. I'm worried that he will be unfavorable to you."

After hearing Zhao Heyan's eager words, Lin Lan was dismissive at first.

It's not normal for Zhao Tianyi to want to be unfavorable to him. He has made the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce exist in name only, and Zhao Tianyi is only happy.

What is there to say to him specifically?
But in the next second, he immediately realized that things didn't seem to be that simple.

As the head of the five major consortiums that established the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce, the Tianxing Financial Group, through Jian Qianou's explanation to him in the Red Leaf Fortress in the morning, is very likely to have been under the control of the sirens for these years.

And it was Zhao Tianyi who forced Jian Qianou to join the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.

You must know that Jian Qianou, as a soul body, has inherent advantages when facing ordinary people in Oran. It is basically impossible for ordinary people to coerce Jian Qianou.

He originally thought that Zhao Tianyi had reached an agreement with the Siren, or was used by the Siren.

But when Zhao Heyan said this, he suddenly reminded him that there seemed to be another possibility that he ignored.

That is Zhao Tianyi, the director of the Tianxing Consortium and the controller of the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that he was actually pretended by a high-ranking siren?

Don't forget, the observer's special skill is to perfectly disguise himself as someone else, even the ship girls can't judge the authenticity.

In a Tanabata Festival event in the early game, observers could even sneak into his port area disguised as Xiangfeng, and encountered many ship girls along the way without being discovered.

Even the ship girls can't tell the authenticity of the observer's pretended object, let alone the ordinary people in this different world.

And after thinking about it carefully, Lin Lan felt more and more that the probability of this possibility was extremely high.

After all, if the Sirens want to further control the United States of Oran and promote their experiments, it is definitely the most efficient way to replace Zhao Tianyi with this civet cat for the prince.

But just in case, Lin Lan patiently asked Zhao Heyan:
"You said that Zhao Tianyi seems to have changed recently. Do you remember when he started to change?"

Hearing his question, Zhao Heyan thought for a while, then recalled:

"Actually, as early as ten years ago, my father was dug out from the ruins. After learning that my mother died in the ruins, his whole personality changed a lot."

"Although many people said that he had seen through it, wanted to change Oran from the bottom of his heart, and even established the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce, but I felt at that time that my father was different from before, and there was always a faint sense of strangeness. ..."

"But whenever I feel something is wrong, he can always tell a lot of past events to dispel my doubts."

"Until almost a month ago, when he attended my brother's and my birthday party, his temperament suddenly changed a lot."

"Not only does it make me feel an obvious sense of strangeness, but the eyes are very cold and chilling, just like..."

"It's like a siren, isn't it?"

Lin Lan took Zhao Heyan's words at the end and said with a deep sigh.

Looking at Zhao Heyan, who was staring at him with wide eyes, at this moment, he was completely sure that Zhao Tianyi was definitely the high-ranking siren—the observer in disguise.

Or, at least a month ago, Zhao Tianyi was disguised by the Observer himself.
