If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

A series of busy signals sounded on the other end of the phone. In the sealed office, Manstein put down his phone and turned off the screen.

"It looks like there's some trouble over there, but there's no need to worry about him. He'll handle it on his own, as he always does." After saying that, Schneider silently turned around and dragged the metal trolley with the oxygen bottle to the door of the office.

When he passed by Manstein, his right arm was suddenly pulled by the other party's sleeve. The metal car suddenly stopped and there was a slight collision sound. When he turned around, Manstein was reflected in his iron-gray pupils. An uncertain expression.

"Anything else?" Schneider asked.

"You'd better make sure the information you told me is correct." Manstein whispered, his voice full of bone-shattering coldness for the first time. Very few people dare to be harsh with the director of the execution department.

"Someone is indeed eyeing that document, and the news is true."

"You know that's not what I'm asking about." Manstein hissed. His current tone and attitude were completely different from the calmness he had during the previous phone call with Lin Nian. "You know that's what I'm asking about because of you." Which sentence made me decide to help you?"

The atmosphere in the office has dropped to freezing point, as if every breath has a frozen thorn stuck in the throat, making people unable to sit still.

Schneider was silent for a few seconds, and then stared into Manstein's eyes. However, his sharp gaze did not make the man take a step back. Then he slightly shifted his gaze and said lightly, "That document is indeed related to Lin Nian."

"Why do you know?"

"Because I am directly responsible for this task." Schneider said coldly, "I can't reveal too much information to you, but if this document reaches the hands of the school board, your students will get into big trouble. You Why do you think the school board has been keeping him in cold storage all this time? Just to wait for this document to be delivered to them to make a final decision!"

"He is my student, why are you so nervous that you even hesitate to reveal the details of the 'SS'-level mission to me?" Manstein stared at Schneider closely.

"I don't hope that the school board's misjudgment will cause the executive department to lack a combat force that can be called the 'strongest' in history." In the private conversation in this office, the director of the executive department was not shy about his praise. , to describe Lin Nian with "the strongest", two words that are always praiseworthy.

"Even the former Hilbert Jean Angers was three points inferior to his record. During the 'Summer Mourning', Menech Cassel, Angers and many of the secret party's capable men were about to die. In the hands of the four monarchs who are suspected to be the kings of the sky and wind, but today, a hybrid species that can kill the same four monarchs head-on has been born. I don’t want such an excellent subordinate to go astray because of the suspicion within the secret party. .”

"You think so highly of him? I always thought you didn't like him." Manstein said.

"I personally don't like his style very much, but I won't deny his personal ability."

"What is this?" Manstein whispered. "A minister who doesn't want to lose his subordinates and a mentor who doesn't want to lose his students work together to plan what the school board wants? There's no way that document will be stolen. Is it a rumor you made up that people are being targeted? If only a few people know about this mission from beginning to end, then who actually found out the information about the mission that was leaked? "

"A mysterious man," Schneider said.

Manstein was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

"I will not repeat it a second time." Schneider said, "Someone anonymously sent a transoceanic envelope to the Executive Department. This special envelope had 17 postmarks printed on it, and it went through as many as seven countries and passed through many countries. It was stamped by the post office during multiple deliveries. Inside, a complete letter was spelled out with words picked out from newspapers, and the content mentioned this mission."

"A letter spelled out in newspaper text? So cautious. Is the content specifically a threat or something else?" Manstein frowned.

"A time, a place, a person," Schneider said. "Someone was warning us about when the mission's files would be attacked."

"Can't Norma find the original source of the letter?"

"It's no longer important. The person who sent the letter didn't leave any clues. It seems that he is very aware of the investigation methods of our execution department."

"Is it possible?" Manstein suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"If there is a mole, I will investigate it myself, but judging from the current situation, that document is what needs to be done at the critical moment."

"The commissioner who transported the documents is Raymond, right? When did he arrive in the city where Lin Nian is?"

"About 10:00 a.m. BJ time the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?" Manstein took a deep breath.

"If possible, I hope he can arrive in China tonight." Schneider said coldly, "Lin Nian's side has begun to have a situation. You heard it when the phone was hung up. It is very likely that he is hiding there. The mixed-breed organization in a coastal city had implicated him because of the incident at the abandoned hospital at noon."

"You shouldn't have sent him to alert the enemy. Chu Zihang can handle those guys. Your worries are unnecessary. You misjudged the situation!"

Manstein had seen Chu Zihang's actual performance in the Bronze Plan. It can be said that most of the specialists in the executive department may not be as good as this sophomore who has not yet graduated. He didn't think that an ordinary kidnapping case could threaten the humanoid self-propelled gasoline napalm thrower. If Chu Zihang was willing to use all his strength, Jun Yan could even blast through the abandoned hospital building!

"Did I really misjudge the form? Doesn't it seem like all the plans are going on smoothly now?" Schneider paused and asked softly.

He walked past Manstein, and the wheels of the metal car continued to rub against the ground and drove towards the gate. "Sometimes, a step-by-step search is not as good as alerting the enemy. The enemy is overt and we are covert, and they don't know our skills." and strength, they will misjudge and think that we showed our weaknesses first.”

Manstein looked at the cell phone in his hand. When Schneider signaled Norma behind the camera to open the blockade of the house, the cold wind blew into Manstein's collar from behind the open door, making him shiver all over. Silently, "You asked Lin Nian to 'rescue' Chu Zihang not because you were worried about your own students, but because you wanted to expose him to the enemy's view. You have prepared this plan from the beginning."

"Then that group of people will naturally find him. Instead of waiting for the attack prediction in the envelope to come true, we should take action to deal with the source of the danger first." Schneider opened the door with his right hand and looked back at Manstein, " Originally, this work should be completed by Chu Zihang. But according to Norma's earlier report, he applied for psychological counseling after the task at noon today, so Lin Nian can only do it. "

"Have you ever considered that if Lin Nian is attacked, the people around him will be involved!" Manstein stared at Schneider, but found that the other party did not respond to him at all, but just stood outside the door and stared at him indifferently. .

Suddenly, Manstein remembered that Schneider had said before that the recent activities of that group of mixed-race organizations were to expand their influence and power in the dark by controlling the gentry and powerful people. I am with Lin Nian tonight. Aren't Su Xiaoqiang's parents the biggest tycoons in the area?

"This is helping him, not taking advantage of him." Schneider said, "Sooner or later, those people will find Su Xiaoqiang's parents. In that case, why not let Lin Nian handle this matter personally?"

So on the birthday of Su Xiaoqiang's mother, Chu Zihang happened to enter an abandoned hospital and was involved in a kidnapping incident. Lin Nian happened to be involved, and there was a family dinner waiting for him in the evening. All coincidences were inevitable.

"Relax and go back to sleep. No, you can't sleep. I almost forgot." Schneider glanced at Manstein one last time before closing the door. "You are the professor on duty today. Work hard Manstein, over there." If there are any new developments, I will notify you as soon as possible."

The door was closed, blocking sight from inside and outside, leaving Manstein standing in the office with his right fist silently clenched and turning white.
