Sheng Ning shivered, the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected. Wasn’t she supposed to be in pain, desperate, and hysterical?
This... This isn’t quite right, is it?
"Aren’t we leaving? Let’s hurry?" Chen Huaying’s whole body seemed to ignite. "She’s really shameless!"
"Yes!" Sheng Ning nodded solemnly, having heard that aside from her initial reluctance, Qin Cuifen seemed to have enjoyed it afterward.
"Let’s go quickly!" Sheng Ning explained, "I had asked for leave from the headquarters before coming here, saying I was going to see Liu Yilan. Now that Teacher Qiu Bai should be back, she will definitely meet with the headquarters and my absence will surely be exposed."
"It’s so late now, if you go out, but didn’t reach the hospital, the headquarters will definitely come looking for you. Then if she finds this place... sees... sees what’s inside..." Chen Huaying gestured to the neighboring private room with a look of surprise, "Hahaha... That would be the ultimate blow!"
"That’s right! So I’ll definitely get scolded tomorrow, I might even have to write a self-criticism and engage in some deep reflection." Being scolded or having to write a self-criticism didn’t worry her; she just felt guilty for exploiting Yang Wenying’s care for her.
Yang Wenying had always been the underlying motivation for her effort, both in her past and present life, and she would never forget the help and nurture she received from Yang Wenying.
She would surely repay her when the opportunity arose.
"Then let’s get out of here! The headquarters might already be here."
The two carefully left and had just reached the corridor when they heard uniform footsteps coming from outside. "It’s too late!" They wanted to turn back to the storage room, but suddenly a tall man wearing sunglasses appeared in front of them.
Sheng Ning squinted her eyes and recognized that the man’s sunglasses were the same model as Xu Qigang’s.
"Follow me!" Qin Yue called out in a deep voice.
Chen Huaying hesitantly looked at Sheng Ning; if they were found running around here so late, a major demerit was the least of their worries.
They could even be fired, and that would be really scandalous.
Sheng Ning nodded, grabbed Chen Huaying’s hand, and hurriedly followed. They turned left and right behind Qin Yue, and soon turned out of the alley. Looking back, they saw the entire snack street was tightly surrounded.
"Is this... the headquarters flexing its muscle?" Chen Huaying guessed internally, "Would it have taken this many people?"
"It’s not the headquarters!" Sheng Ning’s expression grew much more serious.
"Indeed, the headquarters couldn’t mobilize so many people." Chen Huaying, having grown up in a significant compound, understood the situation better than Sheng Ning. After observing carefully for a while, she confirmed, "It’s the Inspection Department, it’s Su Hai! It must be him; only he and the President have the authority to mobilize so many people."
Sheng Ning inhaled sharply, "What does he want to do at this hour?"
"Perhaps it’s a sweep for potential criminals." The Southern Border Rescue Field had just ended, and relations with some external regions were tense, making occasional sweeps quite normal.
"Fortunately, we got out." Sheng Ning also felt relieved, realizing she had been too arrogant. Planning against others, she almost entangled herself too deeply.
Thinking about how the unfamiliar man had just helped them, they might have been trapped within the encircled area if not for him, she quickly thanked him.
"Thank you. May I ask, how should I address you?"
Qin Yue took off the sunglasses from his face, revealing a pair of smiling, charming eyes.
Sheng Ning and Chen Huaying were utterly stunned.
"He looks like Brother Meng Fan!" Chen Huaying exclaimed in shock, pointing at Qin Yue.
