Chapter 499: Chapter 457: Can’t Accept a Life Without Seeing Jiang Zhe

"Take him back," Beifeng said.

Just as Jiang Zhe was about to make a move, a group of people suddenly burst out from the other side, and the one leading them shouted loudly, "Let’s fight them!"

A crowd surged towards them.

The leader was none other than Fang Jun.

After being knocked out by the tiger eagle, she was taken to a tent and left in the care of her junior sister.

When she awoke, feeling utterly embarrassed, she inquired about the whereabouts of Jiang Zhe and Beifeng.

She then gathered many uninjured students planning to come over for the rescue and to drive away the bad guys.

She had her concerns, of course; the opponents had guns.

But the thought of just sitting in the tent after waking up, doing nothing to show for herself, she could already foresee how cowardly she would appear in the eyes of the audience.

Before the broadcast, she couldn’t help but show traces of performance.

As she led a large group of people charging in, Jiang Zhe and Beifeng frowned simultaneously.

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Kuo rolled on the spot, picking up a heavy weapon.

Beifeng shouted loudly, "Everyone, get down!"

As Qin Kuo pulled the trigger, bullets flew amidst the chaos, and his figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Some of the subordinates of Qin Kuo, who were originally surrounded by Xiaobao and the tiger eagle, also took the opportunity to escape.

A moment later, the valley returned to a calm state.

But Qin Kuo’s figure had long since vanished.

Fang Jun rushed over and asked, "Beifeng, Jiang Zhe, are you guys okay?"

Beifeng and Jiang Zhe: "..."

Jiang Zhe didn’t respond to her and turned to leave.

"Jiang Zhe!" Beifeng quickly caught up with her.

Fang Jun felt somewhat aggrieved. What had she done wrong? She had risked her life to help, not to be met with cold faces!

Her junior sister spoke up beside her: "They’re being too much! Not a bit of gratitude! How could they act like this!"

Xiaobao looked at them, speechless.

The tiger eagle said, "Because of your arrival, the bad guys we had already caught have escaped."

Fang Jun: "..."

Fang Jun: "I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I thought the bad guys were overpowering us, so I rushed over to help. I’m very sorry."

The tiger eagle didn’t accept the apology and turned to Xiaobao, saying, "I’ve already contacted the school to report to the police, and someone will be here soon to take these people away. Don’t worry."

"Then you keep an eye on things, I need to go check on Fatty," Xiaobao hurried back.

Upon returning, Beifeng had already handed over the various weapons to the other instructors, setting up a simple defense mechanism in case Qin Kuo made a comeback.

Jiang Zhe had already removed the bullet from Fatty’s leg and re-dressed it.

"It’s not a big problem; he just needs to rest for a few days," Jiang Zhe said.

Fatty teared up: "I thought my leg was done for."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Fang Jun returned to treat other students’ injuries.

By evening, the school authorities, along with the police and the military, arrived to escort them away from here.

Walking beside Jiang Zhe, the teacher spoke with emotion, "Thank goodness you and Beifeng were here. Even though some students were injured, at least no lives were lost."

Knowing it had been her and Beifeng’s actions that brought Qin Kuo here and caused trouble for everyone, Jiang Zhe spoke plainly, "It’s nothing, just lending a hand."

If it weren’t so, she and Beifeng wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to protect these people.

The vehicles left the valley of the Secret Realm Island, making their way out.

This also signaled that this broadcast had come to an end.

The audience, watching on their screens, were reluctant to let go: "Is it over just like that?"

"Does this mean that I’ll never get to see Jiang Zhe again?"

"So, which company will finally sign Jiang Zhe? Please, if you’re going to sign her, do it quickly! Jiang Zhe is my life, my heart, my source of strength. Without her, I really can’t go on living!"

"Why not crowdfund the signing fee to debut Jiang Zhe? I can’t accept a life without seeing Jiang Zhe!"

In the car, Jiang Zhe closed her eyes to rest.

Beifeng sat beside her, no longer armed with a video camera. His actions became much bolder as he took Jiang Zhe’s hand and intertwined their fingers tightly, gently caressing the pads of her fingers with his thumb.

Fang Jun and the others, suspecting the camera might still be there, sat upright in the car, daring not to move recklessly, for fear of losing their ladylike image—even though the teacher had said the cameras had been removed. But what if? Just like before, when there were cameras everywhere and she hadn’t noticed?

...

Zhuo Jinman furrowed her brows, sitting in her chair with impatience showing on her delicate face.

The door banged open, and Qin Kuo’s figure appeared.

He was breathing a bit heavily.

Despite the alloy support frames on his body, allowing him to move more swiftly than before, his frail body was still not up to moving as freely as a normal person.

Seeing Zhuo Jinman, he revealed an indifferent, pale smile.

"Qin Kuo, who allowed you to go to the military training camp!" Zhuo Jinman thundered, "Do you realize it was being broadcast live globally? How do you expect me to handle this!"

Qin Kuo’s sudden appearance in the live broadcast, with weapons no less, greatly irritated the military.

The outside world was also rife with speculation about Qin Kuo’s identity.

Zhuo Jinman stood up, her hands bracing on the table: "If it weren’t for my timely arrangement of someone to pick you up, what do you think would have awaited you? The military has to give the public an explanation, and it took some effort on my part to cover for you!"

Qin Kuo smiled: "So?"

Seeing that he had no intention of repenting, Zhuo Jinman knew this was his nature and forced herself to calm down: "Young Master Kuo, our partnership isn’t something of one day. If there is no need, why provoke Qin Jingchen and Jiang Zhe?"

Qin Kuo removed his mask, speaking softly: "If I don’t try, how will I know their strength?"

Zhuo Jinman was left speechless with anger.

"Doctor Zhuo will help me with the aftermath, right?" Qin Kuo smiled.

Zhuo Jinman held back her anger: "I hope this is the last time."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhuo."

Leaving Zhuo Jinman behind, Qin Kuo spoke to Assistant Xu: "I’ll give a report to the military later. Keep an eye on Qin Kuo for me."

...

The vehicle carrying the students headed towards the school.

Halfway through the journey, Fang Jun received a message.

She furrowed her brow, then her face broke into a smile.

The car finally arrived at the school gate.

Jiang Zhe’s hand was sweaty from Beifeng’s grip.

She tried to pull away, but couldn’t.

Looking up at Beifeng, she asked, "So I’m going down like this?"

Ultimately, Beifeng didn’t want Jiang Zhe to be at the center of the storm and gently let go of her hand.

Just as Jiang Zhe was about to fully retract her hand, he caught it again, brought it to his lips for a brief touch, and then finally released it.

After getting off the car, they were met with the school’s grand and enthusiastic reception ceremony.

There were also reporters invited by the school, clearly intending to cover the military training extensively.

The reporters all rushed towards Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe frowned.

"Master, what do we do?" Xiaobao asked.

Beifeng gave a signal, and Xiaobao and Fatty swiftly moved to shield Jiang Zhe.
