Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 361. Before the Battle (Part 053)

Seeing that there were several people in the private room, Chen Ruolan couldn't help but suppress her temper and winked at Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun.

Chen Xingtong, her face ashen, followed behind and entered the room.

"You're here." Wen Fengsheng didn't mind at all and said to Chen Xingtong, "Xingtong, you've worked hard. Do you want to listen together? Perfect timing."

"No need," Chen Xingtong said, pursing her lips.

"Let's go together." Chen Ruolan took her hand and swayed it.

Chen Xingtong bared her teeth, then her expression gradually calmed down. She turned her head away and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chen Ruolan happily pulled her to sit down next to Fu Xun.

Fu Xun looked Chen Ruolan up and down, and felt that the two had gotten along better after not seeing each other for half a day.

“Miss Chen’s arrival is just in time. Let me introduce these people.” Wen Fengsheng spread his hands, gesturing to the row of people seated beside him.

"You can introduce yourselves," he said with a slight smile.

Then, in turn, the people around Wen Fengsheng removed their military masks one by one.

When the first person unveiled it, Chen Ruolan and Jin Ziyue were both taken aback.

There is no other reason.

They all knew this man.

The man had a gentle face, and years of fighting seemed to have left no scars on him. His humble demeanor was like a beautiful jade, instantly evoking Chen Ruolan and Jin Ziyue's high school memories.

"Teacher Qingli?!"

Chen Ruolan stared in disbelief.

"Yes, it's me," the man said, looking at Chen Ruolan. "Long time no see, my class representative."

Qingli was Chen Ruolan's high school homeroom teacher. After Chen Ruolan's accident, he recommended her to study in District 16. Now, thinking back... Chen Ruolan belatedly realized that they had been pushing her forward without her even noticing.

In Jin Ziyue's dream of "tracing back to the source," there was a gentle man who took meticulous care of Chen Ruolan.

At that time... he entered high school as a teacher.

Wait a minute, the breakfast group was only in high school back then, was he their guardian?

"Ha, to actually see my teacher in this kind of situation, how embarrassing." Chen Ruolan covered her face.

"Not at all, you're already a beautiful young woman." Qingli smiled.

"Ha, thanks to the teacher, I'm doing a little better now."

Chen Ruolan scratched her head shyly. With her teenage crush right in front of her, she became even more reserved.

Chen Xingtong looked at her squirm and hesitated, her eyes wide with jealousy.

“I told you we’re acquaintances,” Wen Fengsheng chuckled, patting Qing Li on the shoulder. “Let me introduce you again, Qing Li, the tactical mastermind of the ‘Great Wall’ team, and also our reliable intelligence analyst, the Fate Driver.”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Chen Ruolan was starting to show signs of becoming a fangirl.

"Alright, Ms. Chen, time is limited. Let's catch up after the discussion."

Wen Fengsheng smiled and pointed to the next person.

They had previously been wearing masks, some of which partially covered their faces, but now they had all taken them off.

Jin Ziyue's gaze remained fixed on the third-to-last man, his expression becoming extremely serious.

Fu Xun is the same.

"Hey!" Chen Ruolan glanced over and looked at the man, exclaiming in surprise, "Kou Lin?"

Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Hmm." The man nodded, without saying much, but stared intently at Jin Ziyue.

"It's really you!"

Chen Ruolan felt dizzy. What was wrong with her today? Her high school teachers and classmates had all suddenly appeared.
Kou Lin, all three of them knew each other.

Because the full name of the bean is "Kou Dou".

Kou Lin is the older brother that Douzi misses dearly, and also their most low-key and inconspicuous childhood playmate.

I never expected that the cold, data-driven guy would also come here.

"I've come to get my beans back." He was always sparing with his words, speaking concisely and to the point.

"Ah, as expected of you, you doting brother maniac." Chen Ruolan even dared to tease him.

Kou Lin gave her a cold glance.

Chen Ruolan was completely unafraid, and a strange excitement burned in her eyes.

The two have been bitter rivals since high school.

Meeting now is like switching sides; we're still competitors.

"Kou Lin, the newly promoted ace sniper of the 'Great Wall' team," Wen Fengsheng introduced him when he saw that Kou Lin was silent.

Wen Fengsheng continued, "You may not be familiar with the next few people."

The third in line was a rather shabby-looking, thin-faced middle-aged man, but he was always smiling, had a somewhat roguish air about him, and exuded a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) vibe. Even when he was silent just now, you could sense his bored little movements.

"Yan Wuchang," the thin-faced man introduced himself, gesturing towards Wen Fengsheng, "I'm of the same generation as Old Wen."

The fourth in line was a refined-looking man wearing glasses, so his mask only covered half of his face. His attire was even more meticulous, and one could vaguely sense aristocratic composure.

“My surname is Wang, and they call me Dr. Wang. I’m in charge of psychological testing for the ‘Great Wall’ team.”

Dr. Wang adjusted his glasses and said.

Fifth was Kou Lin, who remained silent, automatically skipping over his own name.

The sixth person was a woman with a pretty face, a ponytail, and a hair clip on her bangs. She was about the same age as Chen Ruolan and the others. She waved to them politely and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, my name is Yin Meng, and I am a therapist from the 'Great Wall' team."

The seventh person was even younger, a taciturn young man. He opened his mouth and said with some difficulty:
"Hello..."

"My name is Qi... Xiuge..."

"It's the squad..."

Wen Fengsheng continued, "He's a stage manager. Xiu Ge is quite young and shy, but rest assured, his abilities are beyond question."

The boy nodded, then lowered his head and said nothing more.

Fu Xun narrowed his eyes, feeling that the young man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.

Wen Fengsheng said, "These are the seven members of our 'Great Wall' team at this stage."

"Please forgive me for not introducing you to them immediately, because this is not a trivial matter, and I have no need to play the friendship card."

"But when I introduce them to you, it means that I already know the answer in your hearts."

Wen Fengsheng paused deliberately, waiting for Jin Ziyue's response.

Jin Ziyue glanced at Chen Ruolan and Fu Xun.

Fu Xun didn't care at all, while Chen Ruolan's eyes were full of eagerness.

Jin Ziyue turned around and pointed at him.

Wen Fengsheng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, stood up, and walked towards Jin Ziyue.

"welcome."

The seven members of the "Great Wall" team stood together.

Jin Ziyue, Fu Xun, and Chen Ruolan also stood up, and the woman didn't forget to pull up Chen Xingtong, who was lost in thought.

"Don't worry, we won't let you take meaningless risks."

Wen Fengsheng stepped forward and patted Jin Ziyue on the shoulder.

"We will provide the maximum guarantee. The tactics are already in place. If the situation is optimistic, you won't even need to lift a finger. Others will be able to ensure your entry and evacuation, and protect your safety."

He reached out his hand, a hint of fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Nephew Jin, I can't thank you enough. You are all wonderful!"

Finally, I have a draft saved up and can publish it on a schedule.
