SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Jiangcheng College, Central Square.

The sun was blazing at 2:30 pm. The trainees stood in neat rows on the square, their eyes fixed on the platform, their gazes filled with admiration for the speaker.

In the last row of the formation, Wang Yueban craned her neck, looking left and right until her neck ached, but she still couldn't see that familiar figure.

His small eyes widened instantly, and he screamed inwardly:

Holy crap! Brother Mu is awesome!

How dare he skip the first day of training? That's a first-class Zhen'e Envoy of the Zhen'e Court!

How can he skip class so calmly? I'm completely in awe!

Once Cheng Xiao finished speaking on the platform, all the teams sprang into action and dispersed according to the training plan.

Wang Yueban was still standing there in a daze, his mind filled with "Brother Mu is awesome".

Cheng Xiao had just walked down from the high platform, preparing to inspect the training progress of each team.

A middle-aged man quickly approached, a friendly smile on his face: "Instructor Cheng Xiao, the attendance statistics for the entire academy have been completed... almost perfect attendance."

Cheng Xiao raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with doubt: "Coach Du, what do you mean by 'basically perfect attendance'?"

Coach Du explained with a smile, "Well, there was only one student who wasn't here. He wasn't feeling well and took a day off."

"Not feeling well?" Cheng Xiao chuckled. "What's his name? Is he in the dorm right now?"

"This student's name is Lin Mu..."

Coach Du looked down and flipped through the student roster in his hand. "The academy's registration shows that he paid the accommodation fee, but he didn't stay in the dormitory area. Instead, he rented a room in the Yunjing Community, which is right across from the academy."

"However, the college does not require students to live on campus, so this situation is allowed."

"Do you have a specific address?" "Since it's not far, let's go take a look."

"Although I am only in charge of this month's training, since I am here, I have to be responsible for each trainee. I can easily fix minor problems."

Cheng Xiao's voice was low, but he was sneering inwardly: "He was fine in the Great Hall of the People this morning, but he asked for leave this afternoon?"

Ah... We need to correct the thinking of students who try to be clever.

Trying to avoid tough training is not a good thing. This time, I'll teach you a lesson.

Coach Du quickly flipped to Lin Mu's information page, pointed to a line of text, and said, "Found it!"

"Building 12, 29th floor, Yunjing Residential Complex. Would you like to go there now?"

"Let's go and see how serious this student's illness is," Cheng Xiao said calmly.

Yunjing Residential Complex, Building 12, top floor.

Qinghe was standing in front of the French windows, basking in the sun, with several layers of bandages wrapped around his shoulders and chest.

He shook his arm, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "It still hurts when I move, but the recovery has been pretty fast."

"In another two weeks, we'll be able to return to Zhen'erting."

"Ding-dong—" The doorbell suddenly rang.

Qinghe frowned slightly: Chief Ting went out today, and he has a key... Who would come?

He walked toward the entrance hall while thinking about it.

With a "click," the door opened, revealing two figures outside.

When Qinghe saw Chengxiao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Coach Du stared at Qinghe's bandages, a chill running down his spine: This guy has such a fierce aura, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before...

Cheng Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind went blank: Isn't this the academy's residence?

What's Chief Qinghe doing here? Wasn't he recuperating at Brother Gu's place?

Before Cheng Xiao could react, Coach Du spoke first: "Hello, I'm the head physical training coach from Jiangcheng Academy. Is this where Lin Mu is staying temporarily?"

Qinghe glanced at him sideways, and before Chengxiao could speak, she waved her hand to interrupt him: "Come in and talk."

After speaking, he turned around, walked to the sofa, and sat down. His imposing aura was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.

Cheng Xiao carefully closed the door and stood in front of Qing He, not daring to move.

Coach Du originally wanted to sit on the sofa, but seeing that Cheng Xiao was still standing, his bottom, which had just touched the sofa, bounced up again, and he obediently stood next to Cheng Xiao.

Coach Cheng is acting strange today. One second he was about to lecture the students, and now he's... so obedient?

"Speak, what is it?" Qinghe's voice was calm, yet carried a strong sense of pressure.

The air grew quiet...

Cheng Xiao's mind went blank; he hadn't yet come to terms with this absurd situation.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao remained silent, Coach Du had no choice but to speak, his voice extremely low: "It's like this, Lin Mu took sick leave at noon, and Coach Cheng Xiao came specifically to inquire about his condition... Is he resting in his room now?"

Qinghe's sharp gaze swept over the two of them, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

Coach Du felt a chill run down his spine from that look, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

Qinghe looked at Chengxiao and asked calmly, "Chengxiao...ask for guidance?"

"Here!" Cheng Xiao lowered his head subconsciously, his voice filled with tension.

Coach Du was completely dumbfounded: Is this Coach Cheng I know? Why is he being so respectful to this person?

"Lin Mu is sick and resting in his bedroom. Patients need quiet, so please don't disturb him," Qinghe said calmly.

"You're right! We were being presumptuous!" Cheng Xiao quickly agreed, then turned to Coach Du and said, "Let's go back. The trainees are sick and should rest properly. We shouldn't disturb them too much."

"Huh?" Coach Du's eyes widened: Didn't you insist on coming? You even said you wanted to be responsible for the students? How come you changed your mind so easily?

Cheng Xiao didn't give Coach Du a chance to ask further questions, and turned to Qing He: "Sorry to disturb your rest... We'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he grabbed Coach Du, who was still in a daze, and led him to the entrance.

"Wait." Qinghe's voice sounded from behind.

Cheng Xiao stopped abruptly and immediately turned around.

Coach Du was still in a daze when he was pulled around and turned around, inwardly complaining:

I'm the chief training instructor at Jiangcheng Academy, so why am I being so timid and hesitant when visiting a student's home? Shouldn't others be treating me with respect?

"I'll be back in half a month, so tell them not to worry," Qinghe said in a deep voice.

Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"

"Take your advisor and go back." Qinghe waved his hand.

The door clicked shut, and Cheng Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Coach Du, looking puzzled, leaned closer and asked, "Coach Cheng Xiao, what exactly are we here for?"

"If you're concerned about the student's condition, why bother him when he's resting?" Cheng Xiao said sternly.

Coach Du: ...

He silently rolled his eyes... He hadn't even seen the students, and all his concern was for nothing?

But he dared not ask any more questions; the First-Class Zhen'e Envoy of Zhen'e Court was not someone he could afford to offend.

……

At 5:30 p.m., a black Maybach was parked on the side road at the main entrance of St. John's College.

Lin Mu opened the car door, dressed in black casual clothes and white shoes.

He was stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as he walked toward the main gate.

"I'm looking for my sister, Lin Yan," Lin Mu said politely.

"Lin Yan? Director Lin from the R&D base?" the gatekeeper asked in return.

Lin Mu was taken aback: Lin Yan has become a director? Then he smiled and said, "Yes, that's her."

Old Xu raised an eyebrow and sized him up, his tone slightly teasing: "Who would believe that just by talking?"

"I could have said I was the chief of Zhen'erting!"
