Chapter 79: This is an old genius!

~6 min read 1,124 words

Warrior School — although the vast majority of people were still completely in the dark, there was still a group that had already truly sensed the wind filling the building before the storm.

Moreover, the trainees from countries around the world had also been regrouped after the third change of instructors.

Actually it's simple: just take all members of the action team that participated in the previous operation to capture Xiezi, move them individually to another dormitory building, and have them stand by with live ammunition twenty-four hours a day, never parting with their guns.

After training that evening, Wang Yanbing mysteriously called Liu Xiaotian, He Chen Guang, and Li Erniu together; his voice was so low it was hardly louder than the vibration of a mosquito's wings: 'Hey, do you guys feel that something big is about to happen here?'

The three, who had thought this guy had gotten some more 'inside information,' simultaneously showed expressions of disdain upon hearing this.

Even the usually taciturn Li Erniu was the same.

Do we need him to say it? Those firearms that can fire as soon as a round is chambered and the safety is off can't even explain the problem?

Moreover, since Xiezi was captured, the extremely amiable-looking Elder Principal has hardly shown his face; could he have married a young wife? Faced with the trio's disdain and contempt, Wang Yanbing felt a little embarrassed, cleared his throat twice, and then said:

'I'm telling you, your guesses are just guesses, but I, I really have discovered something!'

That remark actually succeeded in catching the three's attention.

Liu Xiaotian frowned slightly, then asked in a low voice:

'Cut the crap, hurry up and tell the real deal—what did you find?!'

Wang Yanbing's mysterious expression deepened; he even deliberately paused for a few seconds before speaking, his voice even weaker: 'You still remember being punished on our first day here, right? That female doctor named Natasha—do you recall her?'

He Chen Guang impatiently jabbed him in the ribs, then said in a deep voice:

'Can you hurry up and speak? If you keep dilly-dallying, don't blame us three for throwing you off the second floor!'

Wang Yanbing's expression froze instantly.

He had no doubt about the truth of He Chen Guang's words.

After the Tang Xinyi incident, he had been 'cleaned up' by Liu Xiaotian and the others several times already.

Being thrown off the second floor by those three, Wang Yanbing had no doubt about it.

Immediately, he gave up his teasing tone and spoke solemnly:

'I remember that, besides Natasha appearing that day, there was also a guy in a wheelchair—did you notice him?'

Upon hearing that, Liu Xiaotian immediately recalled the person he was talking about.

However, that person was someone who hardly attracted anyone's attention.

If he never spoke, you might even completely overlook him when recalling the scene later.

Just like He Chen Guang and Li Erniu now, who were also parties involved, they now can't even recall that such a person existed back then.

Actually, Wang Yanbing is the one among the four who should most likely overlook that person's existence.

However, this guy's brain works a bit differently from normal people; back then he focused on that person's wheelchair.

Undeniably, that wheelchair is absolutely advanced, with an ergonomic seat design; even if only one finger can move slightly, it can still be operated well to go forward and backward. Moreover, what caught Wang Yanbing's attention most was that the wheelchair could mechanically transform into a device that assists the seated person in standing up—something akin to a mecha, a kind of 'black technology' product.

Liu Xiaotian remembers clearly that the person never said a word at the time, merely sitting quietly while a medical attendant pushed him, not even glancing in the direction where Liu Xiaotian and the others were.

If it weren't for his memory and observational skills being enhanced by the system's assistance, he would surely have forgotten this person entirely, just like He Chen Guang and Li Erniu.

Even so, he still cannot recall that person's face.

Liu Xiaotian looked at Wang Yanbing with some surprise, then asked in a low voice:

'Why bring up that person all of a sudden? Is there a problem?'

Wang Yanbing smirked: 'Not exactly; I just feel that person probably isn't paralyzed in the lower limbs.'

His words left Liu Xiaotian stunned for a moment.

Over these days, he has carefully analyzed and observed all the instructors and assistant instructors at Warrior School, yet found no one worth suspecting.

Being able to move freely throughout most of Warrior School is also the only special 'treatment' that sets him apart from the other trainees.

He also knows that doing so will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the other trainees due to jealousy, suspicion, and so on, but he still does it.

Because the person lurking in the shadows has obviously taken him as a target, and sitting around waiting for doom is absolutely not Liu Xiaotian's nature.

To put it in a phrase describing his current character: he would rather fall on the road of attack than shrink behind cover awaiting fate's judgment! 'How did you discover it?' Liu Xiaotian pressed.

Wang Yanbing, asked that, felt a bit embarrassed, even a little shy: 'Um, before I joined the military, I was especially fond of mechanical stuff, thought it amazing; that's why I instantly recognized that wheelchair as a black‑technology product with powerful assistive functions, almost sci‑fi, so I took a few extra looks.'

But I never expected that the person in the wheelchair would notice my gaze right away and make a strange move.

Liu Xiaotian's brows furrowed even tighter: 'Hey kid, quit nitpicking like a girl gossiping, okay?'

Wang Yanbing helplessly gave Liu Xiaotian a sideways glance, then continued:

'That person moved the blanket covering his legs, covering the previously exposed ankle.'

It was precisely because of that action that I realized there was a problem.

When I first saw his exposed ankle, I clearly saw it moving!

Liu Xiaotian said nothing more.

Normally, a person in a wheelchair doesn't mean both legs are completely immobile, and covering up with a blanket can be understood as worrying about catching a chill.

But in the present situation, all of this has become suspicious points worth doubting.

However, he doesn't know who that person is, nor what position he holds at Warrior School, or where to find him.

One could say that Wang Yanbing bringing up this person is mostly just him being idle, trying to mystify things with Liu Xiaotian and the other two.

But to Liu Xiaotian's ears, that person really does have quite a few suspicious points...
