After a thorough search, no trace of anyone else was found.
In the vast warehouse, there was only a woman standing right in the center. She had her hands raised high, cooperating as best as she could. If such a woman could be deemed a criminal...
Then the special forces trainees might as well resign from their professions.
"Earl, I need an explanation!"
A man fully geared in his Academy Uniform walked into the warehouse. His narrow, dangerous eyes squinted with anger as he said, "I mobilized a team of trainees to catch a criminal! And yet, there’s only a woman here!"
Heaven knows how angry he was. If it wasn’t for his trust in Li Yan, he would never have done something so absurd.
Mobilizing the entire Specialty Pavilion Academy, only to return without success, and to top it off, becoming the biggest joke — he could guarantee they were about to become the Academy’s laughingstock.
Li Yan did not respond, his tall figure stood straight at the exit, moonlight shining on his face, shadows cast in his pupils. He was all too familiar with this silhouette!
"Turn around!" A cold voice echoed throughout the warehouse.
Gu Tong’s body trembled. Her dear husband seemed to be angry...
She turned around stiffly, pulling a face even worse than crying, saying, "It’s me..."
The last person who should be here actually appeared.
Wasn’t she supposed to be on the beach, waiting for him?
As soon as Li Yan’s front foot left, she forgot all her words with her back foot!
The anger swept over him, his face looking terribly grim.
"Damn it, tigress, why is it you..."
The tension was like a drawn sword, ready to erupt at any moment. Gu Tong was already prepared to face the judgment but was brought back to reality by a voice that was surprised to disbelief.
Gu Tong glanced at the source of the voice. It was the trainee beside Li Yan. She widened her eyes and opened her mouth, "Qi Difei..."
A childhood friend, a skinny monkey she had bullied since childhood who grew up with her in the Academy Courtyard.
Wow, what are the odds!
"Tigress, how did you become a criminal..." Qi Difei hadn’t yet processed Gu Tong’s sudden appearance.
Gu Tong almost wanted to slap him on the head, barking fiercely, "You’re the criminal, your whole family’s the criminals!"
Childhood trauma made Qi Difei shrink his neck. He pointed to Li Yan, whose face had already darkened, and said, "Earl said it..."
Her husband said nothing wrong, nothing wrong...
Gu Tong laughed awkwardly, suddenly recalling her husband who was about to erupt like a volcano. She coughed and said, "Earl, I request... leniency with confession..."
Li Yan’s eyes, deep like the night, coldly stared at her, his lips curling into a terrifying smile.
He emphasized each word, "I hope it’s a satisfactory answer!" Upon finishing his sentence, he turned and strutted toward one of the jeeps — with so many people here, it was not the place to talk.
Gu Tong was on the verge of tears. First, she was brought here for forced medical treatment and rescue, then forced into survival mode, and now she had to explain things clearly to her dear husband. What did she ever do to deserve this...
Not too much time to complain, Gu Tong quickly ran towards the jeep. Her husband didn’t have that much patience...
Beside her, Qi Difei frowned and blocked Gu Tong momentarily, saying gallantly, "I’m the officer here, explain to me. He’s always like that, you don’t need to mind him!"
The tigress was his friend, why should she care about Li Yan’s attitude?
