The temporary camp setup requires quite a lot, including tree branches and stones, which are among the essentials.
Gu Tong went to the nearby forest to start collecting usable dry tree branches, all of which could be used for making a fire.
Yang Yun silently followed her, appearing as if she had something to say but hesitated. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Can you not tell others about the sniper incident?"
Her words carried multiple meanings but mostly hinted at wanting Gu Tong to take all the credit for themselves.
Coincidentally, Gu Tong had the same thought.
"I won’t mention your aim, but I also won’t take undue credit!"
"I didn’t mean for you to take credit..." Yang Yun quickly explained, "My situation is somewhat special, so I don’t want too many details to be known..."
"I understand!" Gu Tong pursed her lips and said, "However, my situation is the same, otherwise, I wouldn’t have released the smoke bomb either."
Yang Yun hesitated for a moment, thinking it over, realizing that those two spots were monitoring points, only then understanding Gu Tong’s implication.
"Sorry..." She was too rash, only considering her own matters and overlooking this point.
"No need to apologize to me." Gu Tong bent down to pick up a branch, saying calmly, "Actually, there’s no need for concern, the monitoring points were covered, our actions to complete the task were swift, making it almost impossible to be noticed. If there’s exposure, only teammates would notice, so it’s not a big issue."
"But when we return, they will speak of it..." Yang Yun frowned.
"Six people, two Remote Electromagnetic Devices, with coordinated teamwork, the success rate is very high; most ordinary trainees can achieve this."
This point Yang Yun could not deny.
"What you’re worried about is probably someone witnessing you shooting, right? Just inform Yuan Jianlan later, given your relationship, she won’t mention it."
"And Geng Yifan too..." Yang Yun remembered that Geng Yifan also had a telescope, and he must have seen her shoot.
"Geng Yifan isn’t nosy!"
Gu Tong had always been good at reading people; even if she didn’t know Geng Yifan well, she could see through his disposition.
Yang Yun was silent for a while, finally realizing that her worry clouded her judgment, saying, "Thank you... I’ll just say we worked well together, and I think we can pass."
Gu Tong uttered an "hmm" in acknowledgment, glancing over her shoulder as if casually, she said, "May I ask, why are you hiding your strength?"
"It’s a long story..." Yang Yun felt a bit awkward but didn’t avoid talking about it, "My father used to be the Divine Artifact King Yang Cheng of the Specialty Pavilion Academy, later retired due to an incident."
"I heard from my father’s comrades that the failure of the mission at that time wasn’t his fault, nor did he make any mistake. My father loved artifacts and the Pavilion Academy, and after retiring, he was utterly devastated."
"I came to the Pavilion Academy with no other thought but to investigate the past events or perhaps to clear my father’s name, and tell them, the Divine Artifact King has a daughter!"
Yang Yun’s tone was calm, yet her mood could be seen through her words.
Her reason for coming to the Pavilion Academy was as she said, to restore the dignity of the Divine Artifact King, to show them that the Divine Artifact King was no weakling.
Undeniably, Yang Yun was exceptionally filial, something others wouldn’t likely achieve!
Yang Yun’s story was moving, but Gu Tong only caught a few phrases, her mind echoing Yang Yun’s words.
That’s right, Brother Yang’s real name is Yang Cheng!
But why is he with the Mafia then...
