Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 723 - 724: Anxi is not here, but I am!

King Jingyao stepped forward, his voice slightly hoarse. "Xichen."

Bo Xichen had come straight from the operating room. Doctor Hao had taken over his next surgery, allowing Bo Xichen to come directly here.

The atmosphere was naturally grave. Soon afterwards, Chen Ming also arrived. "Mr. Wang," he reported, "it has been confirmed that Anxi has left Beicheng. She was transported away by helicopter, making interception impossible."

King Jingyao hit the table, looking at Bo Xichen.

Bo Xichen went to the laptop and sat down. His hands tapped on the keyboard before he spoke calmly after a moment, "South Africa’s No.1 is preparing an operation against Beicheng."

"I knew it." King Jingyao pounded his fist on the table. "What’s your take on this, Xichen?"

Bo Xichen calmly looked at the computer screen and softly said, "The interception system Anxi installed requires a human operator. And so far, he’s the only one who can do it."

He looked up. King Jingyao quickly understood from his eyes and then asked in a strained voice, "So..."

Bo Xichen lowered his gaze. "I’m sorry, Mr. Wang, but I have to go and save Anxi."

King Jingyao didn’t say yes or no. He just paced back and forth, almost wearing a hole in the floor.

In the end, his gaze landed on Min Xin.

Min Xin really didn’t know what to say. After all, Gu Anxi had been captured by Bo Qing because of his wife. How could he persuade the Bo Family to abandon Gu Anxi at a time like this?

Bo Nianyao asked softly, "Xichen, is there any other way?"

Bo Xichen lowered his eyes. "Father, you are not Second Uncle’s match."

Bo Nianyao sighed softly.

While everyone was silent, a voice echoed from the entrance, "Let me try."

The Chu couple startled; the person at the door was none other than Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was much thinner; her clothes hung loosely on her, and her small face was exceptionally pale.

She walked in and approached Bo Xichen. "Professor Bo, let me try. If I can do it, you can go find Anxi with peace of mind."

Bo Xichen’s voice was hoarse. "The fate of all Beicheng rests on this."

Chu Yan smiled gently. "I know. But for me, this task is only about Anxi’s life."

After a long moment, Bo Xichen nodded. "Alright."

Chu Changhe stepped forward. "Yan Yan, are you sure you can do this?"

Just then, another vigorous voice sounded from the entrance, "You actually doubt her? She and Anxi often team up. As ’W’ and ’KING,’ they’re constantly running scams all over the world! For you, her father, to still doubt her... it seems you don’t know her very well!"

All eyes turned to the entrance. It was Gu Ning. And not just Gu Ning—Wang Qin was there too, her face also pale as she followed Gu Ning like a little attendant.

After Gu Ning spoke, everyone immediately had renewed faith in Chu Yan. Only Min Xin still looked unconvinced. "This one looks a bit dopey," he muttered. "How could she have that little rascal’s mischievous streak?"

However, Chu Yan didn’t respond. She simply sat down in front of the laptop, typed for a moment, then discussed the situation in South Africa, analyzing multiple interception strategies from various angles and positions. She was especially well acquainted with South Africa’s missile parameters.

Everyone was astonished. Chu Yan then said quietly, "Anxi told me."

She took a few chips out of her pocket. "These... she made a copy for me, saying I should take over for her if necessary."

Bo Nianyao’s eyes moistened. His girl... always so considerate of others. She’d say she didn’t care, but she had actually planned for this all along.

Grandpa Bo, who had been silent the whole time, finally asked anxiously, "Will that little rascal be alright?"

"She will be," Wang Qin’s voice was very firm.

Grandpa Bo looked over and snorted. "When adults are speaking, it’s not for children to interrupt."

Gu Yuanshan disagreed. "She’s not just any child; she’s the living goddess of Beicheng."

Grandpa Bo still disagreed. So, Bo Nianyao recounted the story of the three eggs. Afterwards, Grandpa Bo looked at Wang Qin, almost wishing he could immediately light three incense sticks in her honor.

During this time, Wang Jingchuan suddenly came in from outside, looking troubled. He leaned close to King Jingyao’s ear and whispered, "I don’t know how, but the news leaked. Now, all of Beicheng is saying that the city is about to fall, and that you and your trusted advisors are planning to escape."

"Bullshit!" King Jingyao slammed his hand on the table and stood up, enraged. "It’s bad enough these people are freeloaders, but they can’t even keep their mouths shut at a critical moment! Jingchuan, find out who leaked this. Lock them up and give them something that’ll make them watch what they say!"

Wang Jingchuan immediately left to carry out the order.

King Jingyao, however, slowly sat back down and let out a long sigh. "The news is out. There’s no stopping people from talking now."

Saying this, his gaze shifted to Gu Yuanshan. In the past, they still had Gu Yuanshan to put on a show and mystify people. But now, Gu Yuanshan was no longer effective. What could be done?
