Li Yan glanced around like a cat in the dark night but didn’t see Gu Tong. He furrowed his brow and turned to look at the SUV again.
Just as he turned his head, he saw a car window roll down. Gu Tong waved both hands, revealing her white teeth, and mouthed silently, "Honey, it’s so nice~ Love you~"
Sign language was a compulsory course for special trainees. Li Yan understood what Gu Tong was saying just by her lip movements, and he couldn’t help but blush and turned his head away.
A certain deputy standing nearby was oblivious and actually ’pfft’ laughed out loud.
Li Yan cast a cold, killing aura-filled gaze at him.
The deputy shivered, coughed twice, and dared not speak. Earl falling in love... truly troubled the deputy...
Li Yan then turned back, looking at Gu Tong, who was resting her chin on her hands and leaning by the car window with a gleaming smile. Just that one glance felt somewhat unreal.
His cold, handsome lips moved slightly, also in silent sign language, "Safe, safe."
Although he didn’t know if Gu Tong could understand, he still wanted to remind her. Seeing Gu Tong participating in the Royal exercise made him more nervous than going on a mission himself.
"Don’t worry." Gu Tong silently replied but was already content.
Being able to see her off before participating in a live exercise was already the greatest happiness.
The car finally started moving, and the two gradually drifted apart, feeling like they were separated by centuries, even though it was only a moment.
As the car drove off beyond vision, Li Yan slowly said, "Let’s go."
"Yes." The deputy responded.
"Oh my, what a rare guest! How does Earl Li have the time to inspect the New Student Camp?" Lan Siming’s teasing words halted Li Yan’s noble steps.
"Of course you can. You’re the professor of Class One, so you should indeed select talents ahead of time." Lan Siming slyly smiled and said, "But this does seem unlike Earl Li’s style. Don’t you usually come to pick personally after the elites surface? Could it be that there are prospects here in my New Student Camp that you’ve got your eye on?"
"What’s it to you?" Li Yan was laconic.
"Of course it matters. I’ve personally trained this batch of little ones; there’s some attachment, isn’t there? I can’t stand finding good prospects and then having Class One snatch them away."
After Lan Siming finished speaking, his cold eyes briefly glanced at the deputy, instantly understanding that he and Li Yan were in cahoots. As soon as the deputy left, he’d report back to Li Yan about snatching talent.
The deputy was drenched in sweat... Did he offend Officer Lan somewhere? Why did the look in his eyes carry a killing aura as soon as he saw him...
"Elites have their own place to go. Whoever they belong to, they belong to, and there’s no use in snatching." Li Yan stated plainly, devoid of any emotion. "However, Officer Lan’s words did remind me that if there are elites who want to join Class One, I should also assess their thoughts and character in advance! So, this time, I’ll join you in the new student screening work!"
"You..." Lan Siming’s eyes widened, his breath caught in his chest, not anticipating that Li Yan would be so audacious, openly coming to take talents shamelessly!
"Officially, I’m the appointed instructor from above! What are you as a Class One professor mixing in with the New Student Camp for?"
"Reporting to Officer Lan, I haven’t asked you to relinquish your position. I’m merely accompanying you in the review; can’t I have a look at least?"
This time, the deputy dared not laugh. He covered his face with one hand, pretending to rub his eyes, lest he burst out again, secretly thinking: Li Yan’s shocking remarks were clearly led astray by Gu Tong completely.
Lan Siming almost passed out from anger. If he wasn’t outmatched by Li Yan in combat, he would have fought him by now...
This bastard must be doing it on purpose!
