Chapter 240 Who Can Refuse?
When Jiang Xingni woke up, he had already returned to the capital.
She quietly returned to her hospital bed.
For these superhumans who have exhausted their abilities, the most important thing is to rest and recuperate.
Therefore, no one monitors whether the patients in the hospital beds are actually staying in bed at ease.
—They're not prisoners in jail, their movements aren't restricted.
Many seriously ill patients are not allowed to leave their beds simply because they are afraid that if they leave, their health may deteriorate and they may not be able to receive timely treatment.
However, Jiang Xingni himself is not sick.
Jiang Xingni lay on the bed and took another nap.
When she woke up the next morning, she felt much clearer-headed.
After mentally planning what to do next, Jiang Xingni felt even more troubled.
She still remembers that at the very beginning, she only started to ride on the popularity of the main characters in order to survive.
As a result, the main characters are now being led by her to figure out how to deal with VOID.
Jiang Xingni's self-created shell organization, the Hidden Order Society, also successfully caught the attention of the 49th Bureau.
The Forty-Ninth Bureau was not even known to the students of Taixu Academy.
On one hand, they need to cooperate with Bureau 49, and on the other hand, they need to deal with VOID.
Fortunately, the final outcome was always the same: VOID.
It's not too late to shift the focus to Taixu Academy and others when the fighting has really gotten out of hand.
Jiang Xingni thought to himself with a straight face.
However, the only thing Jiang Xingni wasn't entirely sure about was whether he could resolve this matter before September.
Don't let this lousy comic interfere with your university studies.
Thinking about it, my family members all graduated from university at a young age, went straight to master's and doctoral programs, and entered research institutes to become scientists.
When it came to Jiang Xingni himself, wow, he hadn't even finished university, he only had a high school diploma.
—That sounds just like the kind of blond kid who would embarrass his parents.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Jiming stood outside the door and gently knocked.
Jiang Xingni nodded, gesturing for the other person to come in.
—Then the entire main group filed in.
And so, the small ward was successfully packed with people.
"...Isn't today a workday?" Jiang Xingni asked sincerely after a moment of silence.
"Don't you guys have missions or school to attend?"
As a girl of the same gender, Song Juexiao naturally sat on the edge of the bed, occupying the closest distance to Jiang Xingni: "We're just concerned about our teammates."
The red-haired girl winked affectionately at Jiang Xingni.
"So what if we skip class? We don't live off those credits anyway."
The Taixu Academy typically teaches physical skills and how to manipulate supernatural abilities.
Although they haven't reached the point where they don't need teachers, skipping a class occasionally isn't a big problem.
"And of course, school hours only require going to school."
Song Juexiao explained.
"Tasks are only assigned during holidays."
Jiang Xingni pondered for a while and finally came to a conclusion.
"Wouldn't that mean I'm just taking advantage of your rest time for free?"
……
Having grown up accustomed to this method, Song Juexiao suddenly realized.
Xiao Jiming couldn't help but chuckle.
"I think so too, but it's only been a few days since school started." Xiao Jiming sat down, resting his chin on his hand.
"I spent most of yesterday reporting our findings to Professor Lin, so I only had time to visit you today." He smiled.
"Can you get out of bed now?" He Jingtong's gaze swept over Jiang Xingni from head to toe.
Jiang Xingni not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but even nodded at him quite naturally.
"It wasn't anything serious to begin with," she replied with a smile.
It's as if they have no idea that He Jingtong is actually an undercover agent.
"Well..." Pei Zhaoye then leaned closer, half-kneeling on the ground. When he looked up, he could just see Jiang Xingni's face. "How about we go back to school and try?"
The well-informed intelligence broker squinted his eyes.
Jiang Xing could tell from his eyes that something must have happened at the school.
She made a gesture indicating that she was all ears.
Pei Zhaoye had no intention of sharing the information he had obtained with everyone.
He looked around and then shrugged.
"If you want to watch the show, remember not to walk with them," Pei Zhaoye said with a smile.
Xiao Jiming, who was clearly being targeted: ?
Xiao Jiming pointed to himself.
"...Is someone targeting us?" This was the only possibility Xiao Jiming could think of.
Pei Zhaoye, still wanting to see his captain make a fool of himself, looked at Xiao Jiming with an innocent expression: "Hmm...maybe you should pay more attention to the rumors circulating in school."
Jiang Xingni could basically guess what was going to happen.
—The main characters are together. Although both the readers and the characters themselves know that the last mission did not actually fail, they deliberately concealed some information and did not report it.
However, in other people's eyes, this is basically a sign that the main characters have stumbled, failed their mission, and are about to fall from the ranks of the chosen ones!
Jiang Xingni could foresee that as soon as they entered the school, they would be provoked by some ignorant person, and then be slapped in the face—a classic shonen manga plot.
Jiang Xingni and Pei Zhaoye exchanged a glance, and their eyes lit up when they saw each other.
I am sorry.
However, in all the time Jiang Xingni had spent with the main characters, he had never encountered such a classic face-slapping scenario.
Jiang Xingni's interest was immediately piqued.
The world won't be destroyed just because Jiang Xingni watched the spectacle for a while.
But Jiang Xingni himself really needed to see this spectacle.
Her gaze shifted from Pei Zhaoye to Xiao Jiming.
He clasped his hands together, his gaze utterly sincere.
"Please, go to school today. I really want to see what's going on."
"Just consider it as you thinking of my physical and mental health as a patient."
Jiang Xingni immediately abandoned her earlier claim that nothing was wrong and readily admitted that she was now a patient.
Xiao Jiming remained silent for a while.
He glanced at Jiang Xingni, then at Pei Zhaoye.
Finally, he silently looked at Xie Yungui, trying to get some clues from the only honest person among these riddle tellers.
Xie Yungui did not look at Xiao Jiming, but simply looked away.
"Anyway, there's no danger to their lives." Xie Yungui said calmly. "As the captain, it's only right that I sacrifice for my teammates."
—Jiang Xingni's attitude has already been made clear.
Xie Yungui will definitely satisfy Jiang Xingni.
This is not a big deal.
Xiao Jiming originally intended to refuse.
His intuition told him that the group of people—including at least Pei Zhaoye and Jiang Xingni—wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
However, Xiao Jiming's gaze fell on Jiang Xingni's face.
But then again, who could resist Jiang Xingni?
The girl, who usually appeared unusually aloof even when smiling, and whose words were always polite, was now smiling broadly, her golden eyes fixed intently on him.
Who could refuse?
