Chapter 87: Worry

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Shortly after Xiao Yao delivered Tang Xi to school, a helicopter appeared on a park lawn near the school. As it was Monday, there were few people in the park, except for some old people who were practicing Tai Chi. After the helicopter landed, Xiao Yao climbed quickly into the helicopter.

“Major!” As soon as Xiao Yao got on the helicopter, a soldier in a combat uniform saluted him. Xiao Yao responded with a military salute, asking, “What’s the matter?”

“The chief commanded us to go straight to the border of Province Y. The counter-terrorism forces of several other countries have arrived there right now,” the man said, handing some files to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao took the files and closed the cabin door. The helicopter then left the lawn with a whirring sound, by which time Xiao Yao had finished reading the files.

“What does the chief want us to do?” Xiao Yao asked in a low voice, putting on his headphones.

“Major, this is the letter of appointment.” The man passed the letter to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao took it over, looked at it and said, “Head for City J, Province Y.” Then he said, “Contact the combat troops and ask them to wait for orders in City J.”

Hearing the buzzing noise of the helicopter, Tang Xi looked out from the classroom window. She thought it had to be the helicopter that came to pick up Yao for work. A helicopter came to pick him for work? What on earth was Yao’s identity?

The more Tang Xi thought about it, the more she felt uneasy. She activated 008, and asked, ‘008, give me all the data on my eldest brother, and tell me what his mission is this time.’

[System: My cute little princess, I’m very glad to serve you.]

Tang Xi: ‘Oh, stop it. Come on, give me his data! And tell me what his job is!’

[System: Name: Xiao Yao; Gender: Male; Personality: Unknown; Age: 29; Position: Captain of a special department of national special forces; Military Rank: Major; Martial Points: High; Mission this time: To catch the drug lord of Golden Triangle—Kloss; Danger Factor: High!]

Tang Xi’s heart sank. She had always thought Yao was just an intelligence officer or a captain of the CIA like Sa and Jing had told her. Now it seemed that her guess was wrong. A captain of a special department of national special forces? How special was the department? Besides, Yao had attained the military rank of major at such a young age, which meant that he must have risked his life to achieve this! And since 008 said it was highly risky, it had to be really dangerous!

Tang Xi: ‘Show me the data on that Kloss!’

[System: …]

“Student Xiao Rou, you are thinking so hard about this question. Have you got the answer?” This lesson was a French class. The teacher was lecturing on the podium and the students were listening to him carefully. Only Tang Xi had her head lowered with a frown as if she was thinking of something. The teacher was a very demanding teacher, and no one dared to zone out in his class; otherwise, you would be asked to answer a question, and if you couldn’t answer it correctly, you would be doomed.

Tang Xi was about to read the data given by 008 when she was suddenly called by the teacher. She looked up only to see the teacher write some French on the blackboard: Je pense que nous devons être amoureux.

Tang Xi pursed her lips and answered, “I think we need love.”

The teacher obviously didn’t expect Tang Xi could answer this question, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, “How do you know what this sentence means?”

Tang Xi was so eager to know the details of Xiao Yao’s mission that she didn’t want to waste time with the teacher, so she said in French, “Professeur, le Fran? Ais, je devrais être plus fort que vous.”

The French teacher smiled and said, “You think you’re better than me at French?”

Tang Xi replied with a nod, “Yes. I can speak twenty languages. I believe I am better than you, sir, at language, so can I sit down now?”

The French teacher, who had never been provoked like this by a student before, got angry upon hearing Tang Xi’s words. “B*llshit! If you are really that good, why are you here?”

“Teacher, although I can speak so many languages, I am illiterate in terms of academic qualifications,” Tang Xi replied calmly. She was the kind of person who would be calmer when she was anxious. She knew that if she wasted time here, what really mattered would be delayed.

The teacher sneered and was about to refute her when the Director of Foreign Language Studies suddenly entered the classroom. When he glimpsed Tang Xi, his eyes lit up and he said, “Oh, girl, I went back to research the languages you spoke that day, and then I found that words from different languages could really be combined into a single sentence! You are the most gifted student I’ve ever seen!”

The teacher stared in astonishment at the director who had suddenly burst in, and then reminded him sullenly, “Director, we are in class.”

The director nodded with a smile and waved his hand, saying, “Go ahead. I want to have a chat with Student Xiao Rou alone. The Arabic language you spoke last time is what I am studying now. May I ask you for some advice?”

Ning Ke was stunned. He looked at that dazzling girl. He didn’t know that she was not only good at math, but also talented in language! When she was speaking French just now, she had sounded exactly like the people he met in Paris! Her French was way more standard than what the French teacher taught them!

Tang Xi was thinking about how to leave the classroom and communicate with 008, so she was very happy to see the Director of Foreign Language Studies. This class still had half an hour until it finished, but she couldn’t wait for half an hour. However, if she went to the director’s office, she could read Kloss’ data on the way.

She nodded and said, “But I don’t think I’m good enough to give advice to you, Director.”

The director laughed. “Haha, Student Xiao, you are being modest. Who now doesn’t know that you are capable?”

Now she was not only capable, but also had a powerful family background! He already knew what had happened online last night, and he believed that many teachers and students of the school also had found out about it. No one expected that Xiao Jinning was not the Xiao Family’s daughter, but a fake who had occupied Xiao Rou’s position. Xiao Rou, with her great talent and being the beloved daughter of both Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Hongli’s families, was bound to be a real princess in the future. He had observed from outside for quite a while only to find that she had looked distracted since she arrived at school, so there had to be something happening to her. And she had looked even more absent-minded during class. If he could rescue her from the classroom, Student Xiao would certainly appreciate him!

At this thought, the director laughed even more happily. With a smile, he took Tang Xi out of the classroom. The French teacher looked angry, but he dared not go against his boss, so he could only watch Tang Xi being taken away.

Seeing Tang Xi being taken away, Ning Ke also wanted to go out with her; however, although he had good grades, his French was not so good…
