Hearing Lin Xiang’s words, the confusion on Wang Xiao’s face intensified.

“Help me?”

Wang Xiao blinked in confusion. “Why do you say that?”

“It’s…”

Just as Lin Xiang opened his mouth, he suddenly thought of something and subconsciously looked in the direction of the door. Although there was no one, he still waved at Wang Xiao. “Everything is settled, right? Then let’s talk as we walk!”

Wang Xiao had originally planned to return back, so he had no objections when he heard this. He passed through the gap in the wall he had cut with Lin Xiang and quickly walked into the [Ancient Teleportation Portal].

After returning to the traffic area, Lin Xiang was obviously much more relaxed.

When they passed through the round field, Lin Xiang looked around and asked in a low voice, “Brother Wang, do you know why Minister Shen suddenly changed his mind?”

Wang Xiao shook his head. He really did not know about this. Moreover, he also felt that it was quite strange.

Previously, Shen Tianlin had also shown signs of conflict, but it could be seen that he was essentially still a businessman. Moreover, he was a businessman on the side of the Lord’s Shop.

However, after Wang Xiao saw Liu Yingying, Shen Tianlin seemed to be a little flustered. He even lent Wang Xiao money to pay the deposit. No matter how one looked at it, it was too strange.

Lin Xiang did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking, but when he saw Wang Xiao’s confused expression, his face immediately revealed a sense of superiority. “I thought all of this was under Brother Wang’s control. I didn’t expect you to be confused too?”

Wang Xiao glanced at Lin Xiang. “If you have something to say, quickly say it.”

Lin Xiang rolled his eyes, but he still immediately explained, “You still remember those two rooms, right? I just analyzed it. That might be the reception rooms the boss uses for business…”

“The reception room?”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows. “Which one are you talking about?”

“Both. ”

Lin Xiang extended two fingers and drew two circles in the air. “There’s a room with two chairs here. It’s a place for guests. There are cameras and voice transmission equipment in the room. The boss is in the other room and might not show his face the entire time.”

“…It doesn’t sound very polite.”

Wang Xiao muttered softly and then asked, “But what has this got to do with us? Why did you say that Eldest Miss helped me?”

“If you really didn’t know each other before, then I don’t think she did it on purpose, but she did help you.”

Lin Xiangyun was confused. He went to Wang Xiao’s side and whispered,

“While you were talking, I secretly watched the replay of the camera—you must remember that the [Golden Contract] has been modified, right? Actually, that’s not the boss’s intention at all!”

“It’s not the boss’s idea?”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, but when he thought of the structure and use of the two rooms, he almost instantly reacted. “You mean… that was done by Liu Yingying?”

“That’s right!”

Lin Xiang smiled evilly and nodded. “At that time, Minister Shen went to look for the boss. Naturally, he had to abide by the rules of the reception room.”

“But he didn’t know that the person in the opposite room was Eldest Miss. After finalizing the situation, he sent the [Golden Contract] over. Eldest Miss changed the content of the contract, so what happened next happened!”

After Lin Xiang finished speaking, he could not help but laugh secretly. It was unknown if he was happy for Wang Xiao or if he was happy to see Shen Tianlin suffer.

At this moment, Wang Xiao roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. He felt emotions surging in his heart. He did not know what it was like to have so many different emotions mixed together.

Logically speaking, Wang Xiao should be happy that he had successfully negotiated a deal and obtained the resources. However, there were too many coincidences in between that made him vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Blue Planet University would not be afraid of powerful people and recruit useless people, so Liu Yingying should be really talented. At the same time, her energy aura was not rich, which meant that her ability was not in combat. She was most likely a strategist and smart.

However, what Liu Yingying had done was clearly not related to these two adjectives. No one with any intelligence could change the content of the contract on their own.

Moreover, the decoration of the reception room was also very strange.

Since the other party could make the boss come out talk personally, she was definitely not an ordinary person. However, if he was an important customer, why did he choose to not meet him?

Could it be that the boss of the Lord’s Shop was very ugly and did not dare to meet anyone?

Question marks popped up in his mind one after another. Wang Xiao felt that his head had grown three times bigger. He wanted to discuss it with Lin Xiang, but when he saw the other party’s smug expression, he knew that he would definitely not be able to find anything.

While thinking, the two of them had already passed through the round field and walked into the [Ancient Teleportation Gate].

After a strange feeling of space distortion, Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang returned to the Lord’s Shop in Kaiyang City.

After sending Wang Xiao to the entrance of the Lord’s Shop, Lin Xiang took out his communication device and said, “Brother Wang, when there’s news from the headquarters, I’ll definitely inform you immediately. Then let’s leave it at that for today?”

“Alright, thank you for your trouble.”

Wang Xiao agreed and bade farewell. The huge rock in his heart was lifted, and his footsteps became especially relaxed.

As he strolled along the street, Wang Xiao was still pondering about those suspicious points. After all, he had prepared so much previously, but in the end, it was resolved in such a way. It was really difficult for him not to think about it.

However, there was no way to investigate these suspicious points. No matter how Wang Xiao thought about it, he had no clue. When he returned to his senses in a daze, he realized that he had unknowingly arrived near the military building.

Previously, he had wanted to follow Qin Kaiyang over to see what secretive things these seniors were up to. In the end, he had been delayed by Shen Tianlin for so long. They had probably finished discussing everything. Thinking of this, Wang Xiao prepared to return to the Yuheng Academy to take a look. However, just as he turned around and was about to leave, he heard someone call him from behind.

“Adjutant Qi?”

Wang Xiao turned around and happened to see Qi Lianjun coming out of the military building. “Why are you looking for me?”

“I’m not looking for you. The commander is looking for you.”

As Qi Lianjun spoke, he had already approached. “No one picked up your communication device. I was about to go to Yuheng Academy to look for you—why are you here? Are you here to look for the commander?”

“Ah… I was just passing by.”

Wang Xiao casually brushed him off. Before Qi Lianjun could speak, he said,

“Commander Chen, why are you looking for me?”

Qi Lianjun shook his head. “I’m not sure about the details, but it should be about the school exchange list.”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “Isn’t the school exchange in a week? You want the name list so quickly?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

…Alright.”

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly and followed Qi Lianjun to the commander-in-chief’s office. When he pushed the door open and entered, he was stunned.

Not only was Chen Jinrong in the office, but Huang Tingwei and Qin Kaiyang were also here.

The three of them sat in a row on the sofa in front of the French window with the same kind smile on their faces..
