Lin Zhendong went to the toilet to change his clothes. Then, he went to the school gate and chatted with the familiar security guard. He even took out the attached leave slip to show it.
The sealed school gate opened with a click, and Lin Zhendong slipped out.
Lin Zhendong took a few steps outside and turned to look at the school.
The transparent lair barrier was still there.
He didn't know if the lair that had been cleared out could be restored.
If it couldn't recover, it was still fine to leave it there.
If it could recover, Lin Zhendong should be able to discover it at any time.
At the thought of this, Lin Zhendong relaxed. With his hands in his pockets, he walked away while humming a song.
Liu Jingyi was standing in the corridor. She watched Lin Zhendong leave. She thought for a second and took out her phone to make a call. "Come pick me up."
After hanging up, she walked downstairs.
Not far away, Yang Zhi, who was pretending to enjoy the scenery, was stunned for a moment. His expression became even more displeased, but he quickly followed.
"Liu Jingyi, we've all been accepted by Imperial University. When it's time to relax, why don't we go on a trip with a few friends? You can visit the Imperial University first to familiarize yourself with your studies in the future."
Liu Jingru ignored Yang Zhi and continued walking.
Yang Zhi was also used to this attitude. As he followed, he continued to chat.
Just like that, the two of them arrived at the school gate.
It was unknown if the guard was familiar with them or something else. As soon as he saw them, he immediately opened the fence.
An ordinary-looking car was already parked outside.
Liu Jingyi opened the car door, and before she got in, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yang Zhi, who was staring at her with an eager expression. "I have to prepare for the college entrance examination, so you can look for someone else to travel with you."
After saying that, she got into the car and closed the door. The car drove away with a whoosh.
Yang Zhi didn't say anything. He clenched his fists with a furious expression.
At this moment, a luxury car stopped beside him. A man in a black suit got out and opened the back door to wait.
In the driver's seat, a man in a black suit asked, "Young Master, do you want to follow Miss Liu's car?"
"No, go home!" Yang Zhi gritted his teeth.
The driver and the man sitting in the passenger seat looked at each other. They didn't say anything and started the car.
As the car drove towards the suburbs, Yang Zhi, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Do you know my classmate, Lin Zhendong?"
The driver and the man in the passenger seat nodded. "We know, Young Master."
"He said that he's going to get into the Imperial Military and Political University and continue to live in the same city as me."
"It's so happy to think about it. When the time comes, I'll have another acquaintance."
"But what if something happens to him before the college entrance examination? He must be sad that he couldn't take the college entrance examination, right? At that time, he will live a completely different life compared to the students who took the college entrance." Yang Zhi said leisurely.
The two men looked at each other and nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry, Young Master. Your classmates will not have an accident before the college entrance examination!"
The man sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but say, "Young Master, although I am your subordinate, I really can't stand your classmate named Lin Zhendong. He jumps around like a grasshopper all day long. It's normal for something to happen to such an annoying fellow."
"My classmate has connections in the Special Protection Department!" Yang Zhi frowned and snorted. "What could have happened?"
"He's just a remnant of the officer of the Special Protection Department. Don't worry, Young Master." The assistant man laughed sinisterly.
"I don't understand!" Yang Zhi stared at his subordinate and said.
The man in the passenger seat smiled and nodded without saying a word.
Seeing this, Yang Zhi closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.
At this moment, he did not look like a senior student. Instead, he looked like an outstanding man who had worked hard in society for many years.
The car sped to the suburbs and then drove onto a small road.
At the foot of a mountain, a giant iron gate blocked the road.
Before the car arrived, the iron gate automatically opened on both sides, revealing a winding road into the forest.
The car drove along the mountain road. After a while, they passed a high place, and the vision immediately became clear.
The spacious valley had a private manor with many buildings.
Around the manor, two men and a dog could be seen patrolling in groups.
The car drove straight to the main building, and the servant who had been waiting for a long time opened the door.
Yang Zhi, who got off the car, asked casually, "Is my father home?"
"Master is at home." The attendant hurriedly nodded and replied.
Yang Zhi didn't say anything and went straight into the house.
After passing through the spacious and magnificent waiting room, they came to a hall that was more like a home. A mighty middle-aged man sat on the sofa, flipping through the newspaper. Many servants around him were standing like puppets.
Yang Zhi's father, Yang Wu, looked up from the newspaper and saw his son.
Even if they were father and son, Yang Zhi was stabbed by his father's sharp gaze. He bowed respectfully and said, "Father, I'm back."
"Yes, go wash up. It's rare for your mother to cook personally today, so you and I can have a good meal." Yang Wu smiled gently.
"That's great." Yang Zhi also smiled.
After returning to his room, he hurriedly washed up and changed his clothes before returning to the hall.
Seeing that his father was still reading the newspaper, he couldn't help but want to look for his mother.
As soon as he moved, Yang Wu patted the sofa beside him and said, "Come and sit."
"Yes." Yang Zhi sat down without hesitation.
"Ha, don't be so nervous. You and I are father and son. Don't make it like we're meeting as superior and subordinate." Yang Wu hugged Yang Zhi's shoulder and smiled.
"Yes." Yang Zhi grinned, but his body tensed up.
Yang Wu frowned slightly and let go of his son. Then he said sternly, "You did well this time. Be careful with your words and actions."
"Yes, sir!" Yang Zhi didn't know why he was praised, but he immediately smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Wu sighed. "Sigh, our Yang family has too many enemies for various reasons. On the surface and in the dark, you don't even know which one of the people around you is a needle that has been inserted." As he said this, he glanced at the servants, who were acting as puppets.
These attendants all lowered their eyes and did not move at all.
"So, even when you're alone, you must be careful with your words and actions. Don't reveal anything that can be used against you."
"Because you don't know who will record your words and things."
"You won't know that your casual word or thing will be used by the enemy as the last straw to crush the camel of the Yang family."
"That's why your previous performance was great. You didn't leave any evidence behind. There's no problem if you directly take your words to your classmates." Yang Wu patted his son's shoulder and said gratefully.
Yang Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Apparently, his father knew what he had said in the car.
"Don't be like this. Your father is praising you." Yang Wu rubbed his son's head helplessly.
"But you're too late. You know very well why I asked you to study at the First High School and sent you to the Imperial University. You have to kick away the stones that get in your way as soon as possible." Yang Wu stared at his son and said.
"I'm afraid..." Yang Zhi wanted to explain.
"Don't be afraid. As a member of the Yang Family, you must have the courage to do so. Moreover, I want you to win her heart, not to be a bootlicker!"
"So you can be more relaxed when doing things. Don't be afraid of this and that."
"Families like ours look down on bootlickers the most!"
"For a family like ours, evidence is not important. But to outsiders, evidence is important."
"Without evidence, who dares to say that you did it? Who would know that you did it?"
"Besides, so what if they know? You'll only be slandered behind your back, but who can do anything to you?"
"You have to know that this is not the ancient era. It's the modern era. Without enough reason, no one can do anything."
"We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us. That's why I've told you to be careful since you were young."
"Understood!" Yang Zhi took a deep breath and nodded.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded. "What are you two talking about? Time to eat."
The father and son turned their heads and saw a beautiful woman in an apron smiling at them.
The attendants at the side all bowed in unison. Then, a beautiful woman was followed by two maids.
However, at this moment, Yang Wu and Yang Zhi didn't have anyone else in their eyes. They only had that beautiful woman in their eyes.
Yang Wu immediately opened his arms and walked forward to hug her. He laughed and said, "Haha, I have to drink a few glasses today so I won't let down the delicacies that my wife cooked! Isn't that right, son?"
"Yes. I haven't eaten Mom's cooking in a long time." Yang Zhi also revealed a happy smile.
"Haha? Is that so? Then you have to clear out all the food." The beautiful woman smiled happily.
"Don't worry. We will clean all the dishes!" Yang Wu patted his chest and said.
The family of three went to the restaurant, chatting and laughing.
