Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 779: They’re Coming for Xiaoyan

"I do think he’s a bit strange, and for some unexplainable reason, he seems to have the ability to beguile people. At the school, whether it’s the teachers or the students, everyone has a high opinion of him."

"That’s exactly the problem. Moreover, Ji Mu’s affair is indissolubly linked with him, although I’m not clear why he would lay hands on Ji Mu. Whether it’s the conflict between plant-transformed humans and insectoid-transformed humans, or something else. Right now, what I’m worried about is that Xiaoyan might have already been influenced by him."

Gu Yu’s eyes widened, "Right, just now in the medical room, I saw Xiaoyan acting very close to him, but how come I remember that Xiaoyan wasn’t that close to this Jiang Huai before?"

The mother and son exchanged glances.

Su Wan said decisively, "Xiaochen, in less than a day’s time, your elder brother and Bai Li will be back, but before that, don’t leave Xiaoyan’s side for a moment."

"Yes, I know. Tomorrow I will accompany her to class."

"And, keep an eye on that Jiang Huai. I suspect... people might become unconscious in his presence."

Gu Yu nodded solemnly.

It looked like he had almost been beguiled by the other person in the medical room as well.

As a med-student mermaid, that was truly embarrassing!

Su Wan was too worried about her daughter. After instructing her son, she went to contact the medical room to inquire about Ji Mu’s condition. Once she learned that the other party still hadn’t woken up but was stable, she sighed softly.

The external war was about to be won, the peace of the universe for a hundred years was about to be realized, so perhaps everyone had become a bit complacent.

Who could have expected such an incident to occur out of the blue?

Su Wan suddenly recalled the words of Chu Xunyang... She dialed her husband Gu Jue’s communication and relayed the current situation.

"There’s nothing unusual on Jiang Shang’s side; whatever he does, he’s actively cooperative. If he has any secret schemes, they probably aren’t aimed at Landis Star."

Su Wan: "Is he targeting our Xiaoyan? Could it be that they still hope for Xiaoyan to marry into the Plantman Star so they can maintain a good long-term relationship with us?"

Gu Jue was very vexed.

You can plot against Landis Star, and if worse comes to worst, we can just fight them!

But if you dare target my daughter...

Gu Jue suddenly stood up, "I’m going to find Jiang Shang!"

"Ajue, don’t be too impulsive, act according to the circumstances."

"Yes, don’t worry, Wanwan."

Although Gu Jue had a bad temper and was cold and difficult to get along with, he always listened to Su Wan. After receiving his wife’s affirmative response, he felt somewhat relieved.

It was already past two in the morning, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Xiaochen and Bai Li’s spaceship was performing a space jump, temporarily losing signal, and there was no response to messages.

Ji Mu remained unconscious.

That Jiang Huai...

Vermilion Bird: "Master, I have received the materials sent by the teacher from Empire University’s training room administration, including the students who were in the training room at the time and relevant video materials."

"Open it up for me."

"Yes."

On the virtual screen, a series of names appeared, and without surprise, Su Wan saw Jiang Huai’s name.

The names of the others were mixed, including Plantman, Beastman, and Insectoid.

Su Wan then switched to those videos and immediately looked for the training room where Jiang Huai was. She found that the content of his training room had been destroyed.

Vermilion Bird said, "The teachers at the management office mentioned that for some unknown reason, several training rooms were destroyed. They have already discovered the cause, which was a signal short-circuit."

"Ah, a signal short-circuit indeed," Su Wan squinted her eyes, knowing that the teacher in the training room at the time had been completely clueless.

Either the other party was deliberately concealing something,

or they had been bewitched, losing their basic judgment.

No matter which it was, for Empire University, such negligence by a teacher was not only a dereliction of duty but also posed a great danger!

Su Wan immediately said, "Connect me with Gu Lei’s communicator."

Vermilion Bird: "Yes."

Although it was late, Gu Lei had not rested, aware that a major incident had happened at the school. Concerned about it affecting his wife, Lin Ranyue’s rest, he had donned his clothes and gone to the study.

Just after finishing the conversation with the teachers, he rubbed his temples, and then Su Wan’s call came through.

The first thing Su Wan said was, "I haven’t disturbed my mother, have I?"

"No. Xiaowan, you’re contacting me because of today’s incident involving the Insectoid student, aren’t you?"

"Yes. Uncle Lei, with such a serious incident occurring at the school and the responsible teachers being utterly clueless, I suggest you find time to conduct a thorough inspection of these teachers."

Gu Lei’s brow furrowed deeply, "Xiaowan, are you suggesting that there is a spy infiltrating the school?"

Empire University was of great importance to Landis Star, with a status second only to the military, after all, it was the cradle for the cultivation of future talent.

Since taking up the position of principal, Gu Lei had been diligent and vigilant, fiercely guarding against any force from infiltrating the school.

Even Star Thief Lucifer, who had attempted to plant someone at the school, was promptly discovered and dealt with by Gu Lei!

So, when he heard Su Wan say this, he immediately got up to put on his coat, planning to summon the teachers for an inspection right away!

Su Wan: "Uncle Lei, there’s no need to be so anxious. This matter is not a simple accident, but there’s no need for such a massive mobilization that might cause panic. Moreover, it’s not one hundred percent certain there’s a spy. Another possibility is that our teachers might have been bewitched."

"Alright, we’ll hold off on the large-scale investigation for now. However, the few teachers responsible for the training rooms must be suspended and subjected to an inquiry immediately to determine whether they are spies or have been bewitched," he decided based on the investigation results.

Su Wan nodded, "Then thank you for your trouble, Uncle Lei."

"It’s hardly any trouble; this is also my negligence. This incident was definitely man-made. Xiaowan, have you found out if it was aimed at our Landis Star?"

Su Wan shook her head, "Not yet certain, but what I can confirm is that Xiaoyan is one of their targets."

"What, Xiaoyan?"

In several families, she was the one treasured princess, absolutely coddled in the palm of everyone’s hands.

Take Gu Lei for instance, he was certain his wife Lin Ranyue loved him dearly, but in her heart, he was not the one held in the highest regard.

The most esteemed in Lin Ranyue’s heart was her daughter Xiaowan, followed by her granddaughter Xiaoyan!

If someone was targeting Xiaoyan, that was absolutely unacceptable!

That very night, Gu Lei immediately interrogated the related teachers, an interrogation that lasted all night!

And Gu Yan, who was at the center of the storm, got up in the morning and ate breakfast as usual. She asked Xiaofu to check her schedule to confirm she had no classes in the morning.

"Let’s go to the hospital to see Ji Mu!"

Though Gu Yan felt she shouldn’t worry so much about Ji Mu, for some reason, she always had the nagging feeling that she was forgetting something.

Years of experience told her it was best to follow her instincts!
