He noticed that although she still walked gracefully, her steps were somewhat unsteady, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested well.

He noticed that when she was grading assignments alone in the office, she would occasionally stop writing, stare blankly out the window, her beautiful eyes filled with an unyielding melancholy.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ··

Long Yan's heart was gradually eroded by this silent tenderness. For the first time, his belief in "severing worldly ties and devoting himself to Buddhism" began to waver.

That day, he saw He Min working late into the night in her office preparing lesson plans for a public lesson. Outside the window, her figure appeared so thin and lonely.

As if guided by some strange force, he walked into the school's tea room. Following the example he had seen before, he brewed a strong cup of coffee with hot water.

.... ... 0

Then, he took the coffee and walked to the door of the teachers' office.

He hesitated for a long time, raising and lowering his hand repeatedly. In the end, he didn't knock or go in. Instead, he gently placed the still-steaming coffee on the floor by the office door, turned around, and quietly disappeared into the dark corridor.

In the office, He Min rubbed her sore eyes and got up to pour herself a glass of water.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a steaming cup of coffee on the floor, next to which was a note written on a piece of homework paper with strong, vigorous handwriting.

There are only two words on it—

"While it's hot."

He Min froze. She picked up the coffee, and the warmth from her palm instantly warmed her whole body, including her heart, which had grown cold with disappointment.

She knew who had sent it.

Her eyes instantly reddened. A single, glistening tear slid down her cheek and dripped into the bitter coffee, creating a ripple of unparalleled sweetness.

She laughed, a laugh that brought tears to her eyes.

It turns out, his heart wasn't as hard as stone. He just hadn't realized it yet.

Chapter 245 Uncle Da's Highlight Moment

While young people are troubled by complex emotional entanglements, Uncle Da, as a "top undercover agent," ushered in an unexpected "highlight" moment in his undercover career.

Ever since his unreliable "double intelligence network" was exposed by Long Yan and Zhou Xingxing, the two completely lost trust in him. Zhou Xingxing even gave him a death order, telling him to stop providing "intelligence" and just obediently sweep the floor.

Uncle Da was disappointed for several days. He felt that his heroic talents were being wasted, buried among brooms and trash cans.

To relieve his depression, he became obsessed with a new form of entertainment—hiding in the school board office "730" and using the board's latest computer with its huge screen to watch live horse racing and... research the latest news on "Miss Asia".

The school board member was a very busy man, and he was basically not at school during the day. His luxurious office became Uncle Da's private "VIP cinema".

That day, as usual, Uncle Da timed his departure for the school board member's absence and slipped into the office. He locked the door, drew the curtains, expertly turned on the computer, put on his headphones, and began reading with great interest.

"Wow! This year's favorite for the championship is truly stunning and imposing!" Uncle Da drooled as he looked at the bikini-clad beauties on the screen.

However, just as he was engrossed in watching, he suddenly heard footsteps and voices outside the office door.

Uncle Da jolted awake, nearly jumping out of his chair in fright. He recognized the voice—it belonged to the school board member!

"Oh my god! Why did he come home early today!"

Uncle Da was terrified. If the school board found out he was slacking off, he'd be expelled on the spot! His undercover mission would be completely ruined!

He didn't even have time to shut down the computer; in his haste, he dove under the huge, luxurious mahogany desk.

He had just hidden himself when the office door was opened with a key.

The school board member was accompanied by two men in black suits with fierce eyes. One of the men had a long scar on his face, and he looked like a troublemaker.

Uncle Da hid under the table, peeking out through the gaps in the tablecloth, barely daring to breathe.

"Chairman Wang, this time the quantity is quite large," the scarred man said, his voice hoarse and tinged with blood. "Can a transaction really be completed in a place like a school?"

The school board member known as "Chairman Wang" is the highest-ranking administrator of Sheng Yuqiang Middle School, a seemingly kind and philanthropist who is enthusiastic about public welfare. But at this moment, the smile on his face is particularly sinister.

“The more dangerous the place, the safer it is.” The school board member sneered, took out a cigar from his cigar box and lit it. “The day after tomorrow is the school’s annual anniversary celebration. At that time, all the teachers and students, as well as many celebrities from society, will come to attend the party. The scene will be lively and chaotic, which is the best time for us to complete the transaction.”

When Uncle Da, who was under the table, heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

"Goods"? "Transaction"? Weapons?!

He instantly realized that he had stumbled upon a huge secret! This seemingly harmless school board member was actually the mastermind behind the missing gun case and the arms smuggling case!

He was trembling with nervousness, but his survival instinct made him cover his mouth tightly, afraid to make a sound.

The conversation outside continued.

"When will that batch of domestically produced enzymes arrive?" the school board member asked.

"The day after tomorrow at 3 PM, it will be disguised as sponsored materials for the school anniversary celebration and transported directly into the school's gymnasium warehouse," Scarface replied. "At that time, our people will control the entire venue to ensure everything goes smoothly."

“Very good.” The school board member nodded in satisfaction. “This transaction is worth as much as fifty million. After it’s done, we can leave Hong Kong and go abroad to enjoy ourselves.”

They discussed some more details of the deal, their voices growing increasingly lower.

Uncle Da was drenched in sweat under the table, his clothes completely soaked. He felt like he wasn't an undercover agent, but rather teetering on the brink of death.

After an unknown amount of time, the three of them finally finished their discussion and turned to leave the office.

After hearing the door close, Uncle Da stayed under the table for a full ten minutes to make sure no one was outside before crawling out, his limbs trembling.

He slumped onto the carpet, panting heavily. The relief of surviving the ordeal and the excitement of obtaining the earth-shattering information were intertwined, making his chubby face flush red from the blood rushing to his head.

He knew that he was about to make a great contribution this time!

Without hesitation, he immediately took out his phone and, with trembling hands, dialed Stephen Chow's number.

"Ah... Ah Xing! A huge... huge clue! A huge... huge clue!" His voice became stuttering due to excessive tension and excitement.

This time, it wasn't fabricated intelligence; it was a true "highlight" moment he won with his life, enough to wipe out the entire criminal organization!

Chapter 246 On the school's anniversary, thugs kidnap the entire school's faculty and students.

The anniversary of St. Yuk Keung Middle School has arrived as scheduled.

The entire campus was transformed, with colorful flags and balloons everywhere, a stark contrast to its usual dilapidated state. During the day, various student clubs held talent shows and held garden parties, creating a lively atmosphere. However, no one knew that beneath this cheerful facade, a huge crisis was quietly brewing.

At 3 p.m., a refrigerated truck emblazoned with "Sponsored by XX Food" drove into the campus on time and parked at the back gate of the gymnasium. Several burly men in porter uniforms began unloading heavy wooden crates from the truck. They moved quickly and looked alert; they were the school board members' men.

"The goods have arrived." Zhou Xingxing, who was hiding in the bushes in the distance, saw this scene through his binoculars and whispered into his earpiece.

"Received. The officers from the Major Crimes Unit have set up a perimeter around the school and are ready to move in at any time," came Inspector Wong's voice through the earpiece.

07 “No, wait a bit longer.” Zhou Xingxing lowered his voice. “If we act now, it will definitely cause panic and chaos. My plan is to wait until the party starts, until that old fox Wang Jianmin meets with the buyer, and at the last moment of the transaction, we’ll catch them red-handed!”

Meanwhile, Long Yan, as usual, quietly remained in Class F's classroom. He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, all six senses were activated, allowing him to perceive the changes in the "aura" throughout the entire campus. He clearly sensed that waves of bloody and violent energy were seeping out from the direction of the gymnasium.

As night fell, the school anniversary gala officially began.

The gymnasium was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Teachers, students, parents, and invited dignitaries from all walks of life gathered together. Ms. He Min, one of the hosts of the evening, stood on the stage in an elegant evening gown, beautiful, gentle, and radiant.

School board member Wang Jianmin sat in the first row of the VIP section with a beaming smile, accepting congratulations from everyone and perfectly playing his role as a "successful philanthropist".

The evening's performances were spectacular. However, halfway through a magic show, a large amount of white smoke billowed from the stage, drawing everyone's attention, when suddenly, something unexpected happened!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Almost simultaneously, all exits of the stadium, including the backstage passageway, were locked from the outside by dozens of black-clad thugs armed with submachine guns!

Then, all the lights went out with a "snap," leaving only the spotlights on the stage.

School board member Wang Jianmin slowly walked onto the stage and took the microphone from the magician. The kind smile on his face was gone, replaced by a sinister and maniacal grin.

"Distinguished guests, teachers, and students, good evening." His voice, carried clearly through the speakers, resonated throughout the entire gymnasium. "I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment. Now, please join us for a little game."

The entire place fell into a deathly silence, followed by a massive panic and riot.

"Quiet!" One of the thugs behind Wang Jianmin fired a burst of bullets toward the ceiling.

The piercing gunshots and falling debris silenced everyone, and no one dared to make a sound.

"It seems everyone knows the rules." Wang Jianmin nodded in satisfaction. "Now, please stay quietly in your seats. Do not try to call the police or make any unnecessary movements. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that you will see the sun tomorrow."

The hundreds of teachers and students present became his bargaining chips to blackmail the police and complete the deal!

Just then, a brave figure stepped forward from the host's seat.

It's Teacher He Min.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were unusually resolute. She picked up another microphone and shouted at Wang Jianmin, "Chairman Wang! Do you know what you're doing?! These are your students, your colleagues! How could you do such a heinous thing!"

A hint of impatience flashed across Wang Jianmin's face. He gave the scarred man beside him a wink.

With a sinister grin, Scarface strode forward, grabbed He Min's hair, and roughly dragged her to the center of the stage, pressing a cold dagger against her snow-white neck.

"You filthy bitch! Who gives you the right to speak here?!"

"Ah!" He Min exclaimed in surprise. All the students present cried out in alarm as they saw their beloved teacher being held hostage.

Chow Sing-hsing, who was mingling in the crowd, saw this scene and his pupils suddenly contracted. He instinctively wanted to draw his gun. But he knew that if he was exposed, the bandits would become desperate and do something rash, and Teacher He Min would be in danger.

Sitting in the corner of the audience, Long Yan saw He Min with a dagger pressed against her neck. Suddenly, a golden rage, powerful enough to ignite the heavens, ignited in his usually calm eyes!

That is the Vajra Wrath that Buddhist disciples display when faced with extremely evil people trampling on kindness and innocence!

He slowly stood up, and his aura began to surge violently.

A thrilling crisis was about to unfold.

Chapter 247 Long Yan and Zhou Xingxing, Joint Law Enforcement

Just as Teacher He Min was being held hostage and the entire audience was plunged into despair, two figures moved simultaneously from two completely different directions!

"boom!"

A ventilation vent panel on the second floor of the stadium was kicked open! Zhou Xingxing, holding a police-issue Glock pistol, descended from the sky like a divine warrior, gracefully tumbling down and landing steadily on the ground, his gun already pointed at Wang Jianmin on the stage!

"Hong Kong Police! Don't move!" he roared, his voice full of force. "Wang Jianmin, you are surrounded! Put down your weapons and release the hostages immediately!"

His appearance was so sudden that it startled all the bandits.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Wang Jianmin sneered: "Police? Just you alone? Do you think you're a superhero?"

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen "students" and "parents" suddenly stood up from the crowd behind Stephen Chow. They all pulled out pistols from their pockets. They were police officers from the Serious Crimes Unit who had infiltrated the area in disguise!

The police flashlights instantly illuminated the dimly lit stadium!
