311 Betrayal (1)

No one responded to Teny’s words because they didn’t make sense.

Nico had received a lot of help from the academy. From his recent performance, not only did he treat the academy as his home, but he also established a deep relationship with his teacher, Wu Yisheng.

No one believed that Nico was so shrewd that he would secretly retrieve the forbidden core without anyone knowing.

Most importantly, after Nico came to Norse City, his schedule was under the control of the academy. He had always stayed in the academy and had never been to the Cloudy Mountain before. How could he hide the forbidden core in the Cloudy Mountain?

This didn’t make sense.

“There’s no need to speculate about Nico’s purpose for going to Cloudy Mountain. We should investigate his recent behavior and his friends first.” Liang Wenli said.

He wanted to see if there were any clues.

Xiao Wei was in charge of the investigation.

“Xiao Wu, you will lead a 100-man team to sneak into the vicinity of the Cloudy Mountain and quietly search for Nico’s whereabouts.

“If we still can’t find Nico by 12 am tomorrow, we can only report it to the Archon and lock down Norse City. We will conduct a thorough search of the entire city until Nico is found.”

Everyone accepted the order. Only Wu Yisheng was worried about Nico’s safety and could not help but retort.

“Principal Liang, my intuition tells me that Nico was captured by someone. Since the other party has planned everything, they must have thought of a way to send Nico out of Norse City after capturing him.

“Every minute and second is precious now. We should immediately lock down the entire city and conduct a city-wide search. This way, we might have a chance to save Nico.”

Liang Wenli was silent for a while before she said, “Xiao Wu, you don’t know the pressure I’m under. There’s no point in saying more. Just do as I said just now.”

Liang Wenli had a very high prestige. After she finalized the decision, everyone went on with their own implementation.

Half an hour later, Ning Shi’s dormitory doorbell rang.

Ning Shi asked the smart home assistant to open the door and saw a slender middle-aged man with a pale face walk in.

“Hello, student Ning Shi. I’m the Vice Principal of the academy, Wei Yanping. I’m here to investigate something. You don’t have to ask about the specifics. You just have to answer my question.”

Time was tight, so Wei Yanping went straight to the point.

Wei Yanping’s appearance was somewhat beautiful, a typical male and female appearance. There was even a beauty mole at the corner of his mouth, making him look flirtatious.

Paired with his feminine tone, Ning Shi couldn’t help but think of bad words like a eunuch, factory duke, and male escort when he saw him.

Wei Yanping didn’t know what Ning Shi was thinking. He was very satisfied with his bearing.

His eyes moved, his pinky slightly raised, and he pointed at Ning Shi and asked, “Tell me about your schedule for the past two days, especially the part about Nico.”

Ning Shi did not pretend to be a student who did not know anything. Instead, he replied very calmly, “The day before yesterday was our first entrance examination. During the examination, I chatted with Nico a few times. They were all about the contents of the examination.

“The assessment ended at 4:45 pm yesterday. I invited Nico to have dinner with me. He said that he wanted to ask Teacher Wu Yisheng for extra training, so she rejected me.

“Teacher Ye Hongmian and I went to a very famous restaurant on the business street, Flying Clouds Restaurant, for dinner.

“After the meal, I made an appointment with Teacher Ye Hongmian to have hotpot together next time. I bid farewell to Teacher Ye and left the city from Exit 9. I went to the wild to hunt radioactive creatures and train my body.

“I started my return journey at 11:30 am. I entered the city at Gate 9 at around 1 am, washed up in the quarantine area, and then took the No. 9 school bus back to the dormitory. I arrived at the dormitory at 2:30 am.”

Ning Shi explained his schedule in great detail. He also deliberately mentioned Ye Hongmian to Wei Yanping, telling him that his relationship with Teacher Ye Hongmian was not ordinary.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the higher-ups of the school. Ning Shi did not know how these people handled things, and he did not think that Wei Yanping was really asking gently.

He would not use any shameful methods.

Therefore, Ning Shi specifically pointed out Ye Hongmian to make the other party wary so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict.

Ning Shi’s main storyline mission was to join the Republican Party. It was not wise to clash with the higher-ups of the academy at this time.

As expected, Wei Yanping heard Ning Shi’s words. Although he was full of doubts, his tone softened a lot.

It seemed that Wei Yanping did not dare to offend Ye Hongmian due to her special status.

“You’re a student of the mecha master training course. Why aren’t you studying at the academy? Why are you out in the wilderness?” Wei Yanping asked gently.

Wei Yanping was asking the obvious. Before he came, he had read Ning Shi’s information and knew that Ning Shi and Nico came from the same orphanage. He had also taken a butcher as his teacher.

Training in the wild was what traditional fighters like butchers loved to do the most.

Wei Yanping asked this question to see if Ning Shi would lie.

“Other than my identity as a reserve mecha master, I’m also a butcher. I’m going to the wilderness mainly to hone my butcher skills,” Ning Shi replied calmly.

Wei Yanping nodded. The itinerary and purpose that Ning Shi had given him were consistent with what he knew. He continued to ask, “Has Nico been behaving abnormally in the past few days?

“Did any suspicious people appear around him?”

Ning Shi shook his head and said, “Nico’s behavior is very normal. In class, he only talks to me. He doesn’t interact with anyone else.”
