Chapter 276 - 274: Hao Shuai Surveys the Venue
Thus, the entire stage design for the music event was grand and high-end, just like a concert, with a huge poster as the backdrop of the stage.
"Haha, this setup is quite impressive, though Huang Ziyan is really unlucky to have tangled with the Celestial Wolf Gang."
Xu Wei also felt regret. Originally, he was planning to use this opportunity at Huang Ziyan’s music event to showcase his singing talents and have all the girls in school know the might and charisma of Hao Jian.
But now with a task at hand, it seems the opportunity is missed.
"Whether she’s lucky or not is none of our business. As long as we complete our task and earn those twenty million, that’s what really matters."
Hao Shuai didn’t care about these things. To him, only profits mattered, and he knew the serious consequences if the task was not completed.
Xu Wei nodded, understanding his brother’s point, and the two continued their observation. However, apart from the smooth white walls, there were really few things to make use of.
And even if there was something to exploit, if it wasn’t naturally occurring, trying to tamper with it unnoticed here would be impossible.
"Young Master Hao, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to use. Do we really have to grab someone and walk straight out the front door of the sports hall?" Xu Wei asked with some doubt.
"Damn, do you have any brain at all? If we could just walk out the door, why would we need to watch the hall? It’s precisely because we can’t get out that we’re here looking for a breakthrough to figure something out." Hao Shuai scolded.
Xu Wei was left speechless by the scolding; he realized what he said was indeed ignorant and even he couldn’t stand it.
Suddenly, Hao Shuai’s gaze fell on the skylight of the sports hall, which was only five or six meters away from the stage and not far from the backstage.
He was about to walk forward for a closer look when suddenly he heard a voice coming from behind.
"Xu Wei, what are you doing here instead of attending class?"
Chen Tianlong saw the two sneaking around, and suspicion had already arisen in his mind. This was the venue for Huang Ziyan’s music event, and with the two lurking around suspiciously, they might be up to something.
"Damn, Chen Tianlong, why do you keep haunting us? Where I go and what I do is none of your damn business, okay?" Xu Wei angrily cursed.
If this guy didn’t have some skills and they didn’t have an important task today, he would definitely have teamed up with Hao Shuai to teach Chen Tianlong a lesson.
"Oh, you’re bringing someone from outside into the school, I have the duty to maintain the school’s safety and order, which is every student’s responsibility, isn’t it?" Chen Tianlong said righteously.
"You..."
"Xu Wei, don’t bother with him."
Hao Shuai, being a man of strategy, wasn’t too concerned about students like Chen Tianlong. He smiled and said to him, "Chen Tianlong, you’re not bad, looking out for the school’s interests. Very well, Xu Wei, let’s go!"
"Oh..."
Xu Wei was full of anger, but he didn’t dare to show it. Even with Hao Shuai there, if he angered Chen Tianlong, he might end up getting beaten again. Apparently, this guy never cares about others’ authority, always acting like a fool.
Hao Shuai had already obtained the information he wanted, so there was no point in continuing to observe. Thus, the two started heading out.
To avoid raising suspicion from the school, Xu Wei went back to class, while Hao Shuai returned to the Xu Family Mansion with Zhou Qianghan to discuss their plan.
After they left, Chen Tianlong still did not leave the sports hall. He had a task at this music event, acting as a temporary bodyguard, and couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong on his first time.
He had to ensure Lin Batian’s safety, and given the sneaky actions of those two just now, they clearly had some scheme in mind.
So, Chen Tianlong walked around the stage area, hoping to spot anything unusual. However, after a round, he found nothing suspicious, with nowhere to intervene.
Chen Tianlong shook his head, planning to leave and head to the library.
Suddenly, as his peripheral vision caught sight of the skylight five or six meters from the stage, his heart skipped a beat. If there was a place in the sports hall that was most vulnerable, it had to be there.
However, the skylight was over ten meters high from the ground, so meddling with it wouldn’t be easy either. Chen Tianlong chuckled ruefully, thinking he might be overthinking it.
After leaving the sports hall, just as Chen Tianlong was about to leave, a shout suddenly came from the side door. He paused in surprise, then turned around, feeling speechless.
He saw a voluptuous policewoman, followed by two male officers, quickly walking over. The one calling him was the beautiful cop Zhang Yufei.
"Do you need something from me? You aren’t here to take another statement, are you?" Chen Tianlong asked a bit glumly.
"Oh, no, your lady friend from before did that already, why would we need you?" Zhang Yufei rolled her eyes at Chen Tianlong with annoyance.
"Aha, then I get it, you must have taken a liking to me and came to see me on purpose, right?" Chen Tianlong began to indulge in self-flattery.
"..."
Zhang Yufei was speechless. She had always thought Chen Tianlong seemed quite decent, but it turns out he was like this at school. Truly, looks can be deceiving.
"Alright, since you’re not here for me, I’m off to read. Bye!"
"Hey... Stop right there!"
Watching Chen Tianlong just walk off without a care, Zhang Yufei felt inexplicably frustrated.
Mind you, she was a beauty in the police force, popular with officers of all ages, with countless admirers. Yet Chen Tianlong, when asked to accompany her for a look around the sports hall, paid her no mind.
"Oh? Officer Zhang, is there really something else? Or did you come to see me?" Chen Tianlong turned around, feigning surprise and teasing her.
"Yes, I’m here for you, so what?"
Zhang Yufei thought for a moment. She was indeed here to find Chen Tianlong, to have him show them around, since he was a student here and knew every corner much better, making it easier to spot security blind spots.
"Huh?"
The two young officers with her were taken aback, believing there was surely more to their relationship.
"What do you mean ’huh’? I’m asking him to guide us. As a student here, he’s more familiar with the layout." Zhang Yufei quickly explained.
"Oh... That makes sense."
The two young officers nodded in understanding, though they had their own thoughts.
Chen Tianlong chuckled wryly, thinking how impure people in society could be. What was wrong with just meeting up? They weren’t alone in a room, and even if they were alone in a room, nothing might happen, right?
However, thinking of that scenario made Chen Tianlong’s thoughts wander a bit. If they really were alone, then...
"Chen Tianlong, I’m asking you something, why are you just standing there?"
Zhang Yufei was about to lose her temper. She rarely had to repeat herself to anyone, and Chen Tianlong was the first, the one and only first.
"Huh? Oh, speak quickly, or just let it out!" Chen Tianlong replied casually.
"You..."
