Chapter 2245: Chapter 1201: Siege

Yang Xiao was silent for a moment. He still trusted Sheng Yanlin quite a bit. “Brother Hong, a battle is imminent, some things are better said openly. Should I go to Dean Sheng and ask clearly? Don’t worry, I will be careful.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Anguo just shook his head and lowered his voice: “Younger Brother Yang, you and I are brothers. Some things can only be discussed with you alone. This time, you should do nothing, pretend you don’t know about this matter.”

“First, Sheng Yanlin is a seasoned figure in the world of martial arts. If he dared to do this, he must have his reasons. You’ll definitely get nothing out of asking, instead, you’ll only alert the enemy.”

“Secondly, as someone who has been through a lot, I can tell you some things are better not known than known. If you don’t know, you won’t be faulted for it. Otherwise, if there’s any mishap, you would be an accomplice.”

“But it’s not right to pretend to be ignorant when you are aware.” Yang Xiao frowned.

This time, the matter was of significant importance, not a single mistake could be afforded. Yang Xiao had staked everything, betting on this gamble.

“Younger Brother Yang, rest assured, I have been working at the Patrol Defense Office for years. I can guarantee you, they have prepared a foolproof plan above.”

“To put it plainly, no matter what happens, and no matter who Sheng Yanlin brings that might be extraordinary, as long as they dare to break the agreement, we are absolutely confident in controlling the situation. They would only harm themselves.”

“Let me tell you from the heart, if situations change, don’t act rashly.”

“If Sheng Yanlin oversteps, contacts outsiders, and unilaterally breaks the alliance, the higher-ups will definitely remove him and find someone more obedient to take over the academy. By then, remember your identity.”

“People from our Patrol Defense Office abhor betrayal, if you dared to plead for Sheng Yanlin, then you both would be accomplices, even Chief Commissioner Gu could not protect you.” Hong Anguo warned, looking extremely serious.

“Is it that serious?” Yang Xiao was shocked, “Sheng Yanlin isn’t a fool, if he dares to violate the alliance with our Patrol Defense Office and Esoteric Sect, isn’t he seeking death?”

Hong Anguo hesitated for a moment, still revealing a piece of information: “Younger Brother Yang, I have some connections in the General Bureau. I’ve heard the alliance with Sheng Yanlin includes many additional clauses, and the big figures at the General Bureau are very satisfied with them.”

“Think about it, how large could their appetite be, and yet they’re all satisfied. To put it bluntly, Sheng Yanlin could be seen as selling Yiling Academy to our Patrol Defense Office to settle the score for ten years of imprisonment.”

“Is he willing to accept that?” Hong Anguo analyzed the internal information for Yang Xiao.

“Day after day of scheming, harboring ulterior motives, everyone stepping back, how has it come to this?” Yang Xiao absolutely could not understand.

“Shh, silence!” Hong Anguo nervously reminded, and glanced around, “This is not our territory, be careful with your words, lest walls have ears.”

“I would dare say this in front of the big figures at the General Bureau. When doing big things, one must have a larger perspective, scheming all day would damage the reputation of our Patrol Defense Office.” Yang Xiao was logical and reasoned.

“Things can’t be said like that. Our Patrol Defense Office’s large enterprise was precisely built from scheming bit by bit by the predecessors. If not scheming, who would hand over the benefits to you.” Hong Anguo saw things very clearly, and he also advised Yang Xiao to see things clearly, anyone seated in that position would act the same.

After saying what needed to be said, Hong Anguo arranged for Yang Xiao to rest, as they were going to be busy in the days to come.

Now that the sky has already brightened, their plan was to rest for the day while continuing to gather and summarize intelligence from different parties. Tomorrow they’d take action with swift precision.

Due to the action being highly confidential, Yang Xiao and his team were confined to activities within the building. Arriving at the resting room, Yang Xiao had a simple meal before climbing into bed to rest.

After painstakingly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, his phone vibrated. Groggily picking it up to check, Yang Xiao immediately sat up, answered the phone with a serious and respectful attitude:

“Hello Miss Gu, any instructions?”

“Congratulations Yang Xiao, I heard the Cannibal Buddha has accepted you as his foster son, this is excellent news.” Gu Yunshu said with a smile.

“To serve the organization, I would not hesitate!” Yang Xiao’s attitude was resolute.

“What, you acknowledging Cannibal Buddha as a foster father still falls under serving our Patrol Defense Office?” Gu Yunshu’s tone was surprised.

“Of course, Miss Gu, you instructed me to secure Cannibal Buddha’s daughter, but that was too difficult, so I opted for a different approach, serving the country indirectly. Under the care and guidance from the leaders, I ultimately met organizational expectations and succeeded in completing the task.” Yang Xiao’s tone was steadfast, exuding the light of the Righteous Path.

“Then, I thank you on behalf of the organization.” Gu Yunshu said playfully.

“Well… it’s my duty, you all know my understanding as Yang Xiao.” Yang Xiao took the opportunity to clear his throat and continued to pledge loyalty: “If it benefits the nation…”

“Stop!”

Gu Yunshu interrupted him unmercifully, “The organization knows your loyalty, but now I must tell you something else. We’ve received definite news that a Vice President of the Union has already appeared within the border of Jintong Province, and intelligence shows a large group of masters accompany him.”

“Are they coming for us?” Yang Xiao immediately realized the severity of the issue, “Is Dean Sheng contacting people from the United Federation behind our backs?”

“Hmm, that’s most likely the case. So, the reason I am calling is to inform you that Sheng Yanlin is not to be trusted, and our alliance with him is void.”
