The red car slowly drove away.
The Zhou Family’s Fourth Master was still lying unconscious on the ground, ignored by everyone.
Old Wu watched the red car disappear into the night, feeling a bit sentimental. He didn’t expect that the arrival of Fang Yi, this stranger, would uncover the shortcomings of the Dragon Team division here.
Originally, Old Wu intended to continue muddling through, but now that things have been exposed, even if he wants to continue like this, he’s allowed, but the Dragon Guards present probably wouldn’t allow it.
Pairs of eyes were still watching him.
Old Wu looked up at the night sky.
With a clap, Old Wu slapped his hands and then laughed heartily as if to warm up the atmosphere, saying, "Alright, alright, it’s getting late. Don’t just stand here. It’s cold outside. Let’s disperse and go home."
The crowd still had a hesitant look on their faces.
"What about this person?" someone asked.
Old Wu was slightly surprised, turned to look, and saw that it was Xiao Chang, the one who had caused the series of awkward incidents earlier. He was pointing at the unconscious Zhou Shuo on the ground.
"Treat him as a suspect should be treated," Old Wu replied.
"Alright!"
Xiao Chang responded, then gestured to two Dragon Guards to come over and carry Zhou Shuo into the base.
"Everyone disperse. Gather at the field tomorrow morning!" Xiao Chang said this sentence and, after some thought, added, "Strict training!"
Everyone’s expressions became solemn.
After Xiao Chang finished speaking, he left, and the other Dragon Guards also left, though each person looked a bit spiritless, as being reprimanded in front of others would leave anyone feeling displeased.
They all dispersed, leaving only Old Wu still standing there, pondering over the events that had just occurred.
"Sigh, I just hope that tomorrow none of you will apply for a transfer, and hopefully what that guy said will have some impact on you." Old Wu sighed and muttered.
He turned around and walked toward the base, his solitary figure slowly sinking into the night.
...
On the road.
Nangong Lengxue was driving the car rather slowly.
She glanced at the time on the dashboard; it was already midnight.
There were basically no cars on the road outside, just some clubs and hotels with lights on, along with the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow on the road.
Thus, Nangong Lengxue steadily drove the red car along the road; her speed was neither fast nor slow, perhaps because she didn’t feel particularly tired, so she wanted to drive a bit slower.
But as for her true thoughts, Nangong Lengxue couldn’t quite figure them out.
She couldn’t help but turn her head to glance at Fang Yi in the passenger seat.
The car window on Fang Yi’s side was open, his right arm elbow resting on the car door as he gazed out the window.
However, even though Fang Yi was looking outside, he seemed to sense that Nangong Lengxue was watching him.
"Focus on driving, watch the road, don’t get into an accident or we’ll both be off to see King Yan. I’d be happy to become a fugitive couple with you, but I don’t know if you’d agree." Fang Yi teased.
"Wouldn’t agree!" Nangong Lengxue replied as expected.
Fang Yi chuckled and didn’t mind.
"Old Wu..." Nangong Lengxue probed, "Old Wu’s Dragon Guards are indeed quite useless, but don’t blame him; it’s the rules within the Dragon Team that cause this, and it’s beyond his control."
Nangong Lengxue was naturally extremely familiar with the rules within the Dragon Team.
"Well, what good would blaming him do." Fang Yi laughed.
"Then why earlier..." Nangong Lengxue hesitated, leaving the sentence hanging.
