“Not only that,” Qin Hehuan leaned back, tapping the table with her fingers as she habitually did, and continued:
"We now have ample evidence that the enemy has planted spies in this complex."
"Huh? Is that so?" Cheng Yuqiu immediately looked surprised, then asked:
"who is it?"
"If we knew who it was, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble," Qin Hehuan sighed, gesturing for the girl to sit down. Once she was seated, she spoke slowly:
"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. In this situation, no matter what measures we take, once they are detected, it will alert them and only make our situation more passive."
"Of course, we can't do nothing. We need to put pressure on the other side and find ways to expose their weaknesses."
"And you and Nie Qingyun, as the targets of the attack, are destined to become the enemy's primary focus."
"In this way, we can do something that the other party least wants to see."
"What is the thing the other party least wants to see...?" Cheng Yuqiu asked subconsciously.
Qin Hehuan didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:
"To get you and Nie Qingyun out of their surveillance range at the same time."
"So that's why you imprisoned the two of us separately..." Cheng Yuqiu murmured.
“That’s not enough,” Qin Hehuan shook her head and said.
"You two need to hide outside."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuqiu became even more confused and hurriedly interrupted the other person:
"If that's the case, why are you still locking him up? Why don't we just find a chance to go out and hide?"
"That's right," Qin Hehuan couldn't help but raise her hand again to rub her forehead.
Having grown accustomed to the way she could understand each other with just a few words with Nie Qingyun, she now found it particularly exhausting to explain things to others.
"But we can't do that directly."
"Everything needs to have a reason and be logical."
"If I just have him take you to hide, wouldn't that be the same as telling that 'informant' that he's been discovered?"
“Now that I have broken with Nie Qingyun, it will be perfect for him to send the wrong message to his superiors.”
"And it also gave Nie Qingyun the motive to help you escape."
"We have to put ourselves in the enemy's shoes and make everything look perfectly 'reasonable'."
"Ahhh..." Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuqiu subconsciously reached up and scratched her hair, revealing a face full of pain:
"You two, thinking about so many things every day...aren't you going to explode...?"
Qin Hehuan did not offer any opinion on this matter, but simply gave the girl a deep look and said calmly:
"You can live such an easy life because someone has taken care of everything that needs to be considered for you."
"Hehe..." Cheng Yuqiu laughed a little shyly. After learning that everything had been planned by the two of them, she naturally felt much more relaxed, and then asked:
"Then, when will he take me away?"
"Tonight," Qin Hehuan said, her expression becoming much more serious.
"This matter must be kept secret from everyone."
"Also, you must stay in the room I arranged for you before Nie Qingyun comes to find you, and you are not allowed to go out before then."
"I know, I know!"
Upon hearing that she could go out for a rendezvous with her sweetheart that evening, the girl completely forgot her unhappiness.
Seeing Cheng Yuqiu's mood suddenly brighten, Qin Hehuan couldn't help but smile subtly.
Just then, someone knocked on the office door.
After being signaled, a female student council member quickly walked to the side of the desk, glanced at Cheng Yuqiu, then bent down and whispered a few words in Qin Hehuan's ear.
The latter showed a hint of surprise, then said directly:
"Bring him here."
Upon hearing this, the female student council member nimbly left the room, and a short while later, a boy who looked young and had bandages wrapped around his head walked in.
"Huh? What brings you here?" Cheng Yuqiu asked curiously, looking at the uneasy-looking boy.
"Although I treated you before, it probably won't be a full recovery this quickly, right?"
Clearly, Yosuke Yamabuki wasn't very good at talking to girls. Upon hearing the girl's question, he immediately bowed ninety degrees and said:
"Ten, thank you so much, Ms. Jony, for helping me with the treatment!"
"I am truly, truly grateful!"
"It's such a small matter, no need to worry about it," Cheng Yuqiu said, appearing much more composed.
After all, as a school idol, learning how to get along with fans is an essential skill.
However, Yamabuki Yosuke did not come here to see Cheng Yuqiu.
The boy suddenly turned around, faced the desk, knelt on the floor, and performed a very standard apology bow. Then, mustering his courage, he said loudly:
"It's all my fault!"
"Please, please, President, release Brother Nie Qingyun!"
Seeing this, Qin Hehuan did not let the other person get up. Instead, she rested her chin on one hand and said calmly:
"Tell me why."
Yosuke Yamabuki, still with his head pressed against the ground, said loudly:
"Yes, I caused the conflict."
"In the end, I was the one who killed Ranma Tsuneno, the guild leader..."
"So, the one who should be punished... is me."
Seeing this, Qin Hehuan pondered for a moment and responded in a cool voice:
"It's not impossible for me to release them."
"But I have to get the expected return first."
What can you offer in exchange?
Yosuke Yamabuki paused, then took out the only 5 Primal Crystals from the Data Space and placed them on the table.
"I... I only have this much left..."
"More than that, isn't it?" Qin Hehuan immediately revealed an aggressive gaze:
"You killed Ranma Tsuneno, his [Last Treasure Chest] should be on you, and your weapon was something you obtained later..."
Upon hearing this, Yamabuki Yosuke panicked and immediately bowed again, saying:
"no!"
“These…these things were never mine…I, I’m going to return them.”
Seeing that Cheng Yuqiu was about to speak, Qin Hehuan quickly raised her hand to stop him, then put away the five [Primordial Crystals] on the table, and changed her tone:
"I'll accept the goods, but this price is far from enough."
"Unless you have a special reason, I will let him go."
"For example... only he knows the method to defeat that monster in the main building..."
"Go ask around among the others. If it's true, I'll let him out."
Yamabuki Yosuke became extremely excited and quickly got up to say goodbye before rushing out.
Once the office quieted down again, Cheng Yuqiu slammed her hand on the table, somewhat displeased, and said:
Even if he didn't beg you, you would still release him, right?
Why should we exploit other people's things?
Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan simply turned her head to look out the window and murmured:
"He won't feel at ease unless he receives something in return."
"Just like that guy, a simple-minded idiot..."
After a while, Qin Hehuan withdrew her gaze, but as soon as she turned her head, she found Cheng Yuqiu staring straight at her, so she subconsciously touched the side of her face.
"What, is there something on my face?"
"No," Cheng Yuqiu suddenly smiled sweetly.
"Hehe... So, my cousin does consider other people's feelings after all."
Chapter 320: I hid in the closet first
Although the official description is imprisonment, the place where Nie Qingyun was actually detained was better than a typical public rest area.
Apart from two guards placed symbolically at the entrance, there was no one else in the one-bedroom faculty and staff lounge.
Originally, this precious waiting time could have been used to rest...
Yes, that's how it should be.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yuqiu wasn't the only restless girl in this complex.
At this moment, Nie Qingyun had washed away the bloodstains and was wearing a brand new bathrobe. However, his brows were furrowed, as if he had something to say but did not know how to start.
After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh and tapped the table with his knuckles, saying:
"Did Qin Hehuan send you again?"
"Routine interrogation," Saotome Mei answered crisply, explaining in a serious tone:
"Although the president has already said it's temporary imprisonment, we still need to go through the formal procedures."
Upon hearing this, Nie Qingyun couldn't help but twitch his lips, and finally couldn't resist retorting:
“I understand the logic… but why do they have to wear a bare apron during interrogation…”
"No, no, I, I'm definitely wearing clothes!" Saotome quickly adjusted her glasses to hide her panic, then tugged at her apron, which barely covered her underwear, and explained:
"I heard from others that..."
"When a man comes home after a long day at work, what he looks forward to most is seeing his girlfriend dressed like this preparing dinner for him."
As she spoke, the girl took out a small lunchbox from somewhere and pushed it in front of Nie Qingyun with both hands.
"Ingredients are limited, and I'm not very good at cooking, so I don't know if it will suit your taste..."
As the girl pushed the lunchbox, the soft flesh above her breasts was faintly visible through her small apron. Nie Qingyun quickly looked away and tried to keep his tone serious as he said:
"This isn't the time to talk about this..."
"And, Yai."
"I've already said before, I'm not prepared to..."
“I know,” Saotome suddenly interrupted, lowering her head and sitting back down properly in her chair.
She felt very embarrassed to dress like this in front of men.
However, no matter what, all her experience in winning over her crush was limited to those A.VI textbooks.
Naturally, the lessons learned can only be those that most people like.
After a long silence, the girl finally calmed down a bit and slowly spoke:
"I know that Senior Qingyun only loves Yujue and Miss Rinne..."
"Even so... I can no longer take my eyes off my senior."
"Is it...is it not even allowed to simply like you...?"
"This..." Nie Qingyun was speechless for a moment, especially when facing a top student like Saotome Mei. At this moment, it felt like every extra word he said would add another layer of guilt.
After a moment, Nie Qingyun raised his head again and said:
"But isn't this very unfair to you...?"
“Fair…?” Saotome lowered her gaze, repeatedly pondering the word. At one point, she suddenly said seriously:
