Watching the middle-aged man’s figure leave, Lin Fu wanted to know even more about what was going on inside.
Xiling Grehward, she wouldn’t have known about that name at all if Instructor Omnia hadn’t exclaimed in shock on the spot.
But who would have thought the surname Grehward was so unique!
Just as Lin Fu had gone in, the doorbell rang once more, and the two exchanged glances—with Xu Jinglan admitting defeat again.
Forget it. Seeing as you’re under a lot of pressure and not in the best of moods, I’ll forgive you.
"Hello, may I ask if Lin Fu is here?"
"Then, may we come in?" Ivan asked politely.
"Of course, please come in." What’s going on tonight?
Everyone’s looking for Lin Fu.
"Lin Fu, come out! We’ve come to see you." Anton’s voice rang out even before he had entered.
"Coming. Why haven’t you all gone to bed yet?"
Lin Fu came out wearing slippers, and after welcoming everyone into the living room, she rummaged through the fridge for a variety of drinks and alcohol to serve.
"So, this is the living room that’s been wrecked twice? Hmm, it’s indeed quite simple."
"Hahaha... It’s even worse than our male dormitory."
Eleven people either wandered around giving their comments or sat down on the sofa, and when the couch was full, they simply settled on the floor.
"We just came back from Mervin’s place and were worried about you, so we came to see how you were," Ivan said with a smile.
"Hm? What happened to Lin Fu?" Xu Jinglan caught on quickly.
"Tonight, she and Celia were ambushed together. Celia sustained fractures all over her body and fainted on the spot, and it is said that she’s still not out of danger."
Ivan’s words startled Xu Jinglan, "Why didn’t you tell me?"
"It’s all safe now, so there was no need to say anything."
"You..." Xu Jinglan didn’t know what to say to Lin Fu.
"What about Mervin? How is he? I plan to visit him tomorrow."
"You won’t be able to go anywhere, as Teacher Joter has sent out a notice that no one is allowed to leave the school before the competition." Ivan explained, "Though Mervin can no longer participate in the freshmen competition, his life is not in danger. He just needs some time to recover; you don’t need to worry."
"Positive. Before we came back, Mervin briefly regained consciousness and asked us to tell you not to worry," Anton added.
"Alright then! I’ll record a message for him in a bit."
Doing nothing didn’t seem right.
"Do you think what happened to Mervin and Celia could be targeting the freshmen competition? Or targeting me?" This question had troubled Lin Fu all night.
Just thinking that it might be possible made her feel very uncomfortable.
Whether it was getting into trouble or causing problems, she had no regrets and was willing to face them alone.
But the thought of others being implicated because of her was distressing.
"Don’t blame yourself; it’s not the first time Mervin has been hunted. He’s used to it."
"Right, otherwise his family wouldn’t have entrusted him with the Legendary Mecha."
"Those people clearly wanted to kill him, not just to stop him from participating in the freshmen competition."
Everyone comforted her with a chorus of comments.
"The same goes for Celia’s incident. Although the results of the investigation aren’t out yet, I believe there’s more to it than meets the eye."
"Don’t take all the responsibility onto yourself. Look, neither of them is innocent, nor implicated in the other’s troubles, each has their own problems."
"Really?" Lin Fu asked uncertainly.
"Of course, it’s true."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Standing on the outskirts, Ji Xiu shouted, "Even if you are responsible, it’s only a small part at most. At worst, it’s a loophole that was exploited. I think those weapons that were brought in must have had someone intentionally letting them through."
The living room fell silent for a second.
"You fatso, I’ll kill you."
"Ah! Help!" As Ji Xiu scurried away with his head in his hands, he had no choice but to hide behind Xu Jinglan with a thick face.
But his disruption lightened the mood greatly, and Lin Fu stopped dwelling on the matter.
"Actually, we came over tonight to suggest that you leave immediately," Ivan suddenly spoke up.
