You're my wife, don't doubt it!

This scene reminded Xiao Yao of a few months ago when he fought with "Airplane Head" and his gang for Zhang Zhengkai.

However, this time it was Xiao Yao's turn to handle things with ease.

Firstly, he had Yu Luying as a comrade-in-arms, and shortly afterward, Shen Jie, who had heard the commotion, also rushed over;

Secondly, after these months of training, especially after Lazuvis's training, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying's combat capabilities are now vastly different from before.

Third time... never mind, there's no third time.

However, the enemy had a large number of men, and none of them were easy to deal with. For a time, the battle was at a stalemate, and Xiao Yao and his men were unable to gain much of an advantage.

However, these guys actually dared to cause trouble at the school gate... no, the point is, they actually dared to cause trouble at the church gate?

Actually, if it were a fair and square head-on confrontation, these people, whether they were shadows or not, wouldn't be difficult to defeat.

The problem is that all the enemies are attacking Zhao Xiaomei like madmen.

They merely parried without retaliating, enduring the attacks from Xiao Yao, Yu Luying, and Shen Jie. Whenever they found an opening, they would launch a sneak attack on the defenseless Zhao Xiaomei, time and time again.

Xiao Yao wondered about the methods used by the assassins.

Unfortunately, they couldn't ignore Zhao Xiaomei.

On several occasions, Xiao Yao had gained the upper hand and only needed to launch a few more fierce attacks to eliminate an enemy.

However, Zhao Xiaomei could also be injured or even killed.

So Xiao Yao had no choice but to turn back and go to the rescue.

What about the Three Heroes rescuing Liu Bei?

He grabbed Zhao Xiaomei's shoulder, blocked the attack with his shield, his hand throbbing with pain. He then spun her around 360 degrees, pinning the girl beneath him.

Without turning around, he could see four unfriendly gazes shooting at him from behind, as if they were about to pierce his back.

"Damn it," Xiao Yao cursed, "You're as fierce as a tiger when you're evil, but as weak as a chicken when you're good? Go ahead and change!"

"What do you want me to become?" Zhao Xiaomei cried out.

“I’ll transform into anything,” Xiao Yao said. “The Faceless Nun, the Black Cat Bat, Joan, Salome…”

"What are you saying?!" Zhao Xiaomei punched him, "Let go of me!"

Xiao Yao obeyed the order and loosened his grip a little: "Quickly, the few of us will hold them off, you run to the church and find Father Yu."

"Who are you looking for?" Zhao Xiaomei asked.

“Father Yu Boyu,” Xiao Yao said, “is the parish priest of the church across from the school. You can go there!”

But upon hearing the words "Father Yu Bo," Zhao Xiaomei reacted with the same deep fear as a child hearing the threat, "If you don't behave, the wolf will carry you away!" She cried out, "No! No!"

As he spoke, he kept shaking his head frantically.

Xiao Yao had a sudden thought and immediately realized that perhaps after Zhao Xiaomei "came back to life," Yu Bo had also participated in the "interrogation" and "persecution" of her, which was why she was reacting this way.

Then, his mind started to wander: Could these enemies be assassins sent by the organization?

If the flood washes away the Dragon King Temple, that would be a terrible disaster.

Xiao Yao released Zhao Xiaomei, stood up, and said loudly to the attackers, "We will meet again in a place where there is no darkness."

The shadowy figures exchanged glances and continued their attack on the three children and Zhao Xiaomei.

That's true. If the organization really wanted to kill her, all they needed to do was...

“That’s it, that’s it.” A somewhat strange female voice rang out from above the crowd, and then a tall, slender girl jumped down from the low wall of the alley.

The three children and Zhao Xiaomei all turned their gazes toward the unfamiliar visitor.

The girl was wearing the school uniform and trousers of St. Francis Secondary School, carrying a schoolbag, and wearing a pure black mask and goggles. Suddenly, she made a move and pinned a dark figure to the ground.

This person must be the one the organization planted in the school to monitor Zhao Xiaomei, right?

I didn't expect it to actually be a student from our school.

This schoolbag... Xiao Yao thought it looked familiar.

Of course, now is not the time to strike up conversations or make family connections.

Xiao Yao drew his sword and rejoined the battle.

The girl in the school uniform didn't reveal her true form for long before quickly transforming into the form of her mental fortress.

That was a woman... a woman dressed in a very indecent manner.

The woman sat atop a crimson beast—a beast whose appearance was quite terrifying and indescribable, with six…seven heads? and even more horns, its body covered with ancient characters that Xiao Yao couldn't recognize…or perhaps some kind of inscription?

As for this woman, as mentioned earlier, she was bare-chested and dressed in a very indecent manner—she wore purple and vermilion clothes, adorned with gold, gems and pearls all over her body, and held a huge gold cup in her hand, which was filled with... something indescribable, but which looked extremely disgusting, a somewhat viscous liquid.

To be honest, even though they are allies (I guess so?), the design of this fortress is just... disgusting, it's an instinctive, physiological aversion.

Judging from Yu Luying and Shen Jie's expressions, their feelings were similar to Xiao Yao's.

On the forehead of the vermilion-clad woman riding a beast was written a long string of something that Xiao Yao thought resembled Russian or Greek script. This fortress looked impressive, but in reality, it was too bulky to be used effectively in this narrow alley.

Fortunately, she also has ranged magic attacks.

The woman raised the golden cup filled with filth and took a big gulp—then let out a piercing scream and spat out a thin stream of red liquid.

A dark figure fell to the ground and gradually disappeared.

With the addition of this powerful new force, the stalemate on the field shifted, and soon, the attackers were either killed or fled, all disappearing without a trace.

The crimson beast also disappeared, and the girl in the school uniform reappeared.

Xiao Yao looked at himself, then at Shen Jie and Yu Luying. Everyone had changed back into their normal clothes. He quickly turned back to help Zhao Xiaomei up: "Are you alright?"

Zhao Xiaomei shook her head blankly, "No..."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yu Bo arrived late and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Damn it, Brother Bo," Xiao Yao couldn't help but complain loudly, "You're so close, how could you wait until things were resolved before you arrived?"

“No, I was just…” Yu Bo explained.

Zhao Xiaomei saw Yu Bo's face clearly, her expression turned frightened, and she hid behind Xiao Yao.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Xiao Yao reassured her, "Brother Bo is a very nice person."

By this time, the girl had picked up her backpack that she had thrown on the ground again and walked two hundred meters away, leaving only a dashing silhouette.

"Ouyang!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly, "Ouyang Qianqian!"

The girl didn't turn around, nor did she hesitate at all, and continued her uniform linear motion.

“I recognize your backpack!” Xiao Yao continued to shout loudly.

"Alright!" Yu Bo shouted, stopping them. "Let's talk about what's going on inside the hall."

Zhao Xiaomei shook her head vigorously: "I...I want to go home..."

Xiao Yao suggested that he and Yu Luying take Zhao Xiaomei home, or that Shen Jie take her home, but Yu Bo told them that it was unnecessary.

“Someone will protect her,” Yu Bo said.

"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Yao said, "If you're talking about my god-sister Ouyang Qianqian, if the three of us hadn't arrived in time today, Zhao Xiaomei would have been dead by the time she appeared."

Zhao Xiaomei looked at this, then at that.

“Maybe it’s because you went first that she hid and secretly observed the situation?” Yu Bo said. “And someone else was in charge at night.”

"So, she really is Ouyang Qianqian?" Xiao Yao noticed that Yu Bo did not deny it.

“You said it, not me,” Yu Bo said. “Zhao Xiaomei, you should go back first.”

That evening in Yu Bo's office, Xiao Yao raised his doubts about Shi Hui.

“Let’s make a bold assumption: if Shi Hui is the mastermind behind the summer camp terror attack, then those people just now were sent by him to silence Zhao Xiaomei,” Xiao Yao said confidently. “At the same time, it is also he who controls Zhang Zhengkai’s shadow—Zhang Zhengkai himself is unaware of it—and controls Zhang Zhengkai’s shadow to commit this series of recent crimes.”

Shen Jie added, "Moreover, Shi Hui was indeed in Dongqi during the summer camp; I ran into him at the temple."

“It is indeed a very bold hypothesis,” Yu Bo commented. “But what about the motive? What about the evidence? Can we really accuse an accomplice, someone who made a significant contribution, based solely on conjecture?”

“I’m not going to court with you,” Xiao Yao said angrily. “I’m just providing clues, and there’s still a possibility.”

“I’ve received your lead,” Yu Bo nodded. “However, I personally believe that if something seems particularly obvious, the truth is often not as obvious as it appears.”

Are you addicted to arguing with me?

"Oh, alright, alright, you two stop arguing," Yu Luying quickly said, "really."

“Shi Hui…” Yu Bo leaned back in his high chair and murmured, “He’s an old friend of mine.”

On Friday, September 24, after Xiao Yao arrived at school, he noticed that Ouyang Qianqian had changed to a new backpack, the kind that you carry on your shoulders.

Xiao Yao found this attempt to cover up the obvious and to cover up the truth extremely amusing.

If the organization is full of unprofessional people like this, what will happen in the future? — Suddenly, I felt uneasy.

"Qianqian." During the break, Xiao Yao approached Ouyang Qianqian's seat with a smile.

As mentioned in previous chapters, at least ten people were absent from class today, making the classroom feel quite empty.

"Get out," Ouyang Qianqian said in a low voice.

"Help me investigate someone," Xiao Yao requested.

"Investigate who? Investigate who? Investigate who?" Ouyang Qianqian asked impatiently.
