The voice in the earpiece startled Cheng Yu and the others, their eyes filled with gloom.

They hadn't expected the enemy to act so quickly; just as they began their mission to protect the experts, the enemy had already taken out one of their teammates.

Jiang Jingfeng clenched his fists in anger, cursing the ancestors of the person who attacked him for eighteen generations in his heart, and wanted to rush out to avenge Xiao Wang himself.

All the members of their team, except for Cheng Yu, had spent at least three years together and had long since formed a deep friendship.

However, after glancing at the experts on stage sharing knowledge and answering questions with the teachers and students of the university, he remained silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying:

"Cheng Yu, you and Ya Ya go to the place where Xiao Wang was murdered to investigate. The rest of you, remain on high alert. If you encounter any suspicious individuals, detain them immediately!"

"clear!"

"receive……"

As responses came through his earpiece, Cheng Yu set off with Ya Ya, a female team member who was right beside him, toward the location of the first mansion's death.

Since the experts' activities this morning were all conducted inside the auditorium, Cheng Yu and his team's activities were limited to the area inside and outside the auditorium, and they arrived at the scene of the incident in no time.

His expression turned extremely grave after he saw that Xiao Wang had been beaten to death with fists.

"Now, it is known that at least two opposing forces are active in the vicinity, and his cause of death is different from that of the policeman."

"Let me check the nearby surveillance footage!"

After Ya Ya finished speaking, she took out her laptop from her small backpack and started typing away.

Just a few minutes later, she shook her head, her face pale.

"This area is a blind spot; we didn't see anyone Xiao Wang encountered before his death!"

"Damn it, they're so arrogant!"

After saying that, she angrily pounded the ground, but she couldn't vent her anger.

Cheng Yu remained silent for a moment, then said:

"The mission is urgent. Notify Chen Rui and the others to come and collect Xiao Wang's body. We'll continue searching for the murderer!"

He and Ya Ya waited for a moment, and after several police officers came to take over, they nodded to them and left.

This time, not only the two of them, but the rest of the team members were also quickly searching the entire auditorium, hoping to find clues left by the perpetrator as soon as possible, but unfortunately they found nothing.

As a result, everyone was on edge, and the slightest disturbance would startle them.

However, for the entire morning, the hidden enemy made no further moves after killing a cultivator and an ordinary person.

While the experts rested in their prepared rooms, Jiang Jingfeng met with the team members who were arriving one after another outside the room:

"The experts spent the entire day inside and outside the auditorium. It should have been their most relaxed day, but given how things have turned out, none of us can afford to be complacent."

"Cheng Yu, they don't know you exist yet, so you'll have to work hard this afternoon and try your best to search for useful clues with Ya Ya."

"We must settle this score with them!"

"clear."

Cheng Yu nodded, indicating that he would find the person responsible as soon as possible and resolve the hidden danger.

For the next period of time, Jiang Jingfeng instructed them not to make any rash moves as long as no one was killed, no matter what happened.

We should investigate any potential hazards that can be identified directly, and keep those that cannot be identified under our watchful eyes at all times.

After all, the tense atmosphere of the morning had left them mentally and physically exhausted, and if things continued like this, they would collapse from exhaustion before the day was even over.

Afterwards, everyone found a suitable place to rest while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

……

Meanwhile, in the university's cafeteria, Zhang Hao was sitting there eating with an air of nonchalance, while Wen Tian sat opposite him, smiling smugly.

"Just one move and Cheng Yu has become a frightened bird. It seems that apart from his strength, he's not very smart at all."

"Young Master Zhang, can we just kill him tonight?"

"What's the rush?"

Zhang Hao slowly took a sip of soup, paused for a moment, and then spoke:

"This is just an appetizer, to let them know that danger is everywhere. Then we'll create some suspicions that Cheng Yu himself can't clear his name from, and that'll be about the right time."

"This time, even God is on our side, how can he possibly win?"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Wen Tian burst into laughter, but noticing the strange looks from the students around him, he quickly coughed a few times, leaned forward, and lowered his voice to say:

"Please go ahead and arrange for people to take action, Mr. Zhang. I have already prepared the surprise for Cheng Yu."

"When the time comes, I'll make him wish he were dead!"

……

All day long, Cheng Yu and Jiang Jingfeng were on high alert.

Although everything had been exceptionally calm and smooth since the morning's incident, and they hadn't even encountered a single suspicious person, the more this was the case, the more nervous they became.

After all, darkness often represents danger.

Some things are easier to do at night than during the day.

After arriving at the expert's accommodation near the school, Cheng Yu went to the rooftop alone, relaxing in the breeze while observing the surroundings.

After spending a day together, he no longer envied Jiang Jingfeng and the others for their seamless teamwork and clear division of labor.

Because he learned from Ya Ya that this was a mature plan that they had come up with after making many sacrifices and learning countless lessons.

This contains not only the passion of people they know, but also the experience gained by many predecessors who risked their lives.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a caring voice came from beside me.

Cheng Yu turned his head and looked over. After seeing that it was Chen Rui, he didn't answer but asked a question instead:

"Aren't you going back to rest? We're on call 24/7, but you only need to be responsible for the outer perimeter protection during the day."

"After a long day, you still have the energy to wander around?"

"I'm here to remind you that Jack has already confessed some things, including that the people behind him will also be involved in the operation to eliminate the experts."

Chen Rui looked over with a solemn expression:

"Cheng Yu, you have saved my life more than once, so I should repay you in kind."

"The people behind Jack are far more complex than you imagine. They might make a move tonight, so be careful."

"Because one of them can control the minds of the others."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu's expression changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked:

"You mean, if that person has already started taking action, then from now on, everyone except ourselves needs to be on guard?"
