88 Taking a Risk!

After handing over the nine [Sacred Beast Hearts], Wang Xiao took out his communicator. “Do you want to leave your contact details? We can help each other if we need anything in the future.”

In fact, Wang Xiao wanted to know the results of the experiment immediately, but he could not really say this. Otherwise, his intentions would be too obvious.

It was true that Yi Han was stupid and rich, but Xu Junrou was not a fool.

As expected, when Yi Han heard that he wanted to leave his contact number, he nodded without thinking. However, before he could speak, Xu Junrou, who was beside him, spoke first.

Wang Xiao entered the string of numbers into the communication device and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the automatic notification. “Yuheng Academy office?”

“Yes.”

Xu Junrou nodded and went forward to explain, “Our academy doesn’t allow students to bring communicators. If you need anything, you can look for our class guide, Teacher Sun. He will let us know.”

Seeing Yi Han’s confused expression, Wang Xiao knew that the Yuheng Academy definitely did not have such a rule.

However, since the other party had already rejected him, it was meaningless for Wang Xiao to pursue. He left his communicator number with the two of them and bade farewell.

Seeing that Wang Xiao had walked far away, Yi Han could not help but ask Xu Junrou, “Xiao Rou, the academy doesn’t have such a rule at all. Why did you lie?”

“I’m doing this for your own good.”

Xu Junrou sighed softly and looked at Wang Xiao’s back with vigilance. “This person is not that simple. You have to be more careful when dealing with him.”

“Is that so?”

Yi Han revealed a puzzled expression. “But he’s clearly a good person. He didn’t blame us even when we threw him into the secret realm.”

“That’s why there’s a problem.”

Xu Junrou said softly with a solemn expression, “Even if we had agreed in advance that we would abandon him in a dangerous situation, his reaction was too calm… He’s too mature for our age.”

“I see…”

Yi Han nodded in realization. However, looking at his clear eyes, Xu Junrou knew that he did not understand at all.

Xu Junrou could only smile helplessly at this. In the end, she glanced in the direction Wang Xiao had left and left the trading market with Yi Han.

At the same time, Wang Xiao also left the trading market and went straight to the military building.

The various behaviors of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] were already so strange that Wang Xiao could not ignore them. This mutated beast egg was given to him by Chen Jinrong. Perhaps he would know something.

Not long after, Wang Xiao arrived at the military building. Because he wanted to see Chen Jinrong, he did not use the [Nirvana Mask] to disguise his identity. In the end, as soon as he arrived at the entrance, he was stopped by the guards.

“Stop! What are you doing?”

The guard looked at Wang Xiao warily and asked coldly.

No matter how bold Wang Xiao was, he did not dare to be impudent in such a place. He replied obediently, “Hello, I’m Wang Xiao, a student of the Kaiyang Academy. I have something to discuss with Commander Chen Jinrong. Please inform him.”

“Looking for Commander Chen?”

The guard frowned and sized Wang Xiao up. “Do you have an appointment?”

“…No.”

“Then go back to where you came from!”

The guard waved his hand coldly. “Commander Chen is very busy. Not everyone can see him just because they want to.”

Wang Xiao was rejected. He could not help but point at himself and ask, “Take a closer look. I’m Wang Xiao. I really have something to discuss with Commander Chen…”

“I know you. You’re the student who resisted the invasion of the Crimson Star people a while ago!”

The guard interrupted Wang Xiao and said impatiently, “It’s precisely because I know you that I’m patient enough to tell you so much. Otherwise, I would have already chased you away!”

“…”

Wang Xiao was momentarily stunned. In the end, he still asked obediently, “Then where should I make an appointment?”

“I don’t know!”

“…”

Suppressing the urge to curse, Wang Xiao turned around and left silently. However, he did not go far. Instead, he continued to size up the military building on the other side of the street.

Other than the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], Wang Xiao also wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the Crimson Star’s spoils of war. Now that he needed resources, he definitely could not wait obediently for Chen Jinrong to find him.

He had to enter this building, but how was he supposed to enter…

Looking at the guards in the sentry pavilion, Wang Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly had a bold idea.

Wang Xiao turned around and walked into an alley. When he came out from the other end, he had already transformed into Chen Jinrong in casual clothes.

Other than the wide top hat on his head, everything else was exactly the same as the day Chen Jinrong went to the hospital.

In fact, it would be easier for him to sneak in if he had changed into Chen Jinrong wearing military attire. However, Wang Xiao had never seen the other party in military attire, so he could not imagine it.

“I’ll take a gamble!”

Wang Xiao cheered himself up in his heart. Then, he pulled down the brim of his hat and walked towards the military building.

“Stop! What are you doing?!”

The guard from before stopped him again. Wang Xiao did not stop and only raised the brim of his hat. He lowered his voice and said vaguely, “It’s me.”

“Chen…”

The guard’s expression changed and he was about to salute when Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, “Don’t make a fuss.”

“Yes!”

The guard agreed in a low voice and retreated to the sentry post.

Wang Xiao successfully sneaked into the courtyard, but after entering the building, he was stunned—he did not know where Chen Jinrong’s office was.

He could not find anyone to ask in his current state. Even if he transformed into someone else, he would not be able to. Without the staff leading the way, all outsiders would be interrogated. Moreover, it was impossible for the staff to not know where Chen Jinrong’s office was.

While Wang Xiao was thinking of a countermeasure, he did not know that a car was quickly driving towards the military building.

A moment later, the car stopped at the entrance of the building.

The guard went forward to ask as usual. However, before he could speak, he saw the window of the driver’s seat roll down, revealing a young and determined face.

“Adjutant Qi?”

The guard recognized Qi Lianjun, who was driving, and at the same time, he saw Chen Jinrong in military uniform in the backseat. His expression immediately became strange. “Commander Chen? Didn’t you already go in just now?”

Chen Jinrong was resting in the backseat with his eyes closed. When he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes. “What did you say?”

“I clearly saw you go in just now. Why are you returning again?”

The guard did not dare to hide anything and quickly recounted what had happened.

After Qi Lianjun heard this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. “Someone is pretending to be the commander and sneaked into the building. Immediately issue an alarm!”

“Wait a minute!”

Chen Jinrong stopped the guard who was about to warn him and revealed a faint smile. “This kid… I was about to look for him, but he came by himself!”

In the military building.

Wang Xiao, who had transformed into a cleaner, was searching for Chen Jinrong’s office on every floor when the announcement in the building suddenly sounded. “Student Wang Xiao, please go to the first floor immediately. Commander Chen is waiting for you.”

“This is bad!”

Wang Xiao’s expression changed. The other party had specifically asked him to go to the first floor. Didn’t that mean that he already knew that he had infiltrated the military building?
