The puppets' stage play

Chapter 197 Responsibility, Machine

Yan Wudao put his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked on the road with a frown on his face. He was wearing a yellow plush coat with a 'red flame' extending downwards around the collar.

He recalled the series of events that had happened recently, and his heart suddenly became complicated.

His father, Yan Sheng, was removed from his position as mayor and now just stays at home, watering flowers and reading all day long.

His friend, Lin Dao, disappeared mysteriously, and the college itself did not respond much and ignored him.

And he himself, Yan Wudao smiled bitterly, is no longer a famous figure in the college, but just an ordinary student.

His fiancée was indifferent to his situation and just followed Bai Yiyi around without any trace of his presence in her eyes.

He exhaled a long breath, his expression a little gloomy.

Could it be that the other party... wanted to regret the marriage? He suddenly remembered that Kong Leling had always been indifferent to him, and their daily interactions were just acquaintances, and they only expressed their feelings in front of outsiders.

But only when she is around one person, Kong Leling will provoke the other person like a child, and she will also show bright eyes that she has never shown in front of him.

Yan Wudao lowered his face, with deep confusion in his eyes, what should he do...

A gust of wind blew by, and Yan Wudao's expression changed. He remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards his residence.

His steps were a little hurried, and soon he returned to his residence.

"This should be the safest place," he murmured to himself, taking out his right hand from his pocket, and there was a small note between his two fingers.

There was both surprise and indescribable excitement in his eyes. As far as he knew, there was only one person who would deliver news in this way!

Yan Wudao couldn't wait to spread the note, and a line of slightly messy small words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Wudao, I'm back. Due to special reasons, I can't go back to the academy. I hope you can come out, preferably outside Haizhou City. I will find you then - Lliu"

"It's him, it's him! Haha" Yan Wudao couldn't help but laugh twice, but thought of something and quickly lowered his voice and looked around carefully.

"Be careful..." he warned himself, but he couldn't help but smile.

"He is indeed not dead. This guy is really worrying. I have to beat him to calm down." Yan Wudao laughed and cursed, his eyes full of joy, but then his eyes became serious.

"In the past, as the mayor's son, I could easily go out, but now Haizhou City and the inside of Qingjing College are all under the control of the college. I went out for no reason...it was too conspicuous. "

Yan Wudao thought about it for a long time, but still had no clue. However, his mind couldn't help but think of the person he wanted to avoid meeting now. If it were her...

He hesitated for a moment, determination flashed in his eyes, he thought about it, bit the note in his mouth, swallowed it, and walked out with a natural expression.

.......................

"Yan Wudao, what do you want from me?" Kong Leling's face instantly turned cold. The sadness and helpless atmosphere that had remained on her body were swept away, replaced by a superior leader's temperament.

Yan Wudao looked at the other party's pretending to be calm, helplessness flashed in his eyes. The other party had been like this in the past, with a cold face all day long, and he had a businesslike attitude even towards his nominal fiancé.

What made him even more complicated was the way the other party deliberately showed himself in front of him. It was also telling him that the other party had never opened up to him, and that it was just a marriage based on pure interests.

He shook his head, now was not the time to think about this.

"Huh, Ling... No, Kong Leling, I need your help with something." He looked at the other party solemnly, his eyes extremely serious.

"I don't want to care about this now...you'd better have a suitable reason"

Kong Leling pinched her brows and angry words escaped from her lips, but soon she realized her mistake. She stopped her words and looked at the other person calmly.

Yan Wudao was silent for a moment and looked at the other party with determination.

"I know that you have never wanted to marry me. It was only because of the relationship between the two families that you didn't refuse..." He took a deep breath and looked at Kong Leling, whose expression became increasingly cold.

"I am willing to take the initiative to terminate the engagement. I will bear all the consequences, but I have only one request!" Yan Wudao's eyes were extremely calm. "You use the Kong family's backhand to secretly send me outside so that the college does not discover it."

“That’s all it is”

Yan Wudao closed his eyes, not wanting to look at the other person's face, whether it was joy or...satisfaction.

"...It seems that you are also doing dangerous things behind the academy's back in private." Kong Leling's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and then Yan Wudao heard the approaching footsteps.

He couldn't help but have random thoughts in his mind, would the other party agree to him? He would still report himself backhand, but at this moment Kong Leling came with a slightly hoarse voice.

The breathing coming from her felt a little heavy.

"Yan Wudao, I don't like you. I have been trying to like you for the past two years. I'm sorry, I failed."

"No matter how much I try to convince myself, I still don't have any feelings for you. I think maybe it's because we are too close in some sense, so it's hard for me to accept you."

Kong Leling's voice contained complex emotions. Just like she said, two guys who are equally good at pretending can never treat each other sincerely.

"I have deeply analyzed myself, and I have liked two people. One is Gong Shoucheng, who is unwilling to accept me, but feels at ease around him, and the other is Bai Yiyi, who is cold and relies on me, but has her own unique charm."

"Now the former has left me, and the latter is also leaving, but I think liking is such an inexplicable and strange thing. As a woman, I fell in love with both at the same time. It's really bad for me!"

"But I like it, and I still like it until now!" Kong Leling said her true feelings quietly, and Yan Wudao listened silently. Although he felt a little sour in his heart, he would not interrupt the other party.

Suddenly, he felt the collar on his chest tighten, and a small hand grasped him tightly. He opened his eyes involuntarily, and the sight in front of him made him speechless.

Kong Leling looked at him with tears streaming down her face, her nose kept twitching, and she was no longer cold.

"Don't look down on me! I am also conscious. Now that I have made this engagement, I will never go back on it. You bastard, what do you think of a sacred engagement?!!"

"..." Yan Wudao was at a loss and could only look at the other party blankly.

"I regretted it a long time ago. Gong Shoucheng is very good, Bai Yiyi is very good, but I also have my due responsibilities, so I can't escape, I can't escape, I can't escape!!!"

Kong Leling's voice gradually became louder, but her eyes were fixed on Yan Wudao, not only stating her determination, but also admonishing herself and Yan Wudao.

She let go of her hand, took a few steps back, and closed her eyes.

"I will arrange it. You can go directly to the main entrance of the college and wait." Her voice was trembling, and she just stood there alone, looking extremely lonely.

Yan Wudao subconsciously took a step forward, feeling entangled in his heart. In the end, he turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the college.

"Yes, that's right. We all have our own responsibilities, but... I'm a little tired."

Kong Leling opened her eyes silently, staring intently at the departing Yan Wudao, mouthing words of approval, only slightly revealing her true thoughts at the end.

She shook her head and went to her residence. She wanted to take out her special external communication tool and contact the Kong family's forces outside.

On a nearby tree, the branches trembled silently, as if an invisible person had just left.

..........................

Yan Wudao waited at the entrance of the college for more than ten minutes before he saw a black airship flying from the sky outside. He immediately showed his leave certificate to the guard.

The guard glanced at him, manipulated a square machine in his hand for a moment, and waved casually to Yan Wudao to let him go.

Yan Wudao made a warm smile and then stepped towards the outside world.

After getting on the black airship, a man with a tight face and sunglasses glanced at Yan Wudao. After confirming for a long time, he asked him to sit on the seat next to him. He clicked a red button next to the cabin door.

The hatch closed and the airship took off and sailed into the distance.

On the road, the man in sunglasses said in a vicissitudes of voice: "We will prepare a dummy for you and let him enter Haizhou City. You can let him do what you usually do. After entering Haizhou City, we will leave the 'flying bird' "

"Because it's too obvious. We will take the subway deep underground. There are tunnels there that we have dug together with some congressmen. If you still want to come back then..."

He handed Yan Wudao a small white ball, "As long as we crush it, we can know your location and pick you up."

"Remember, pay attention to the color of the beads. If it is green, it means normal. If it is red, please get out of there quickly. It means we have been wiped out."

Finally, he patted Yan Wudao on the shoulder and said a casual sigh.

"The moon will probably be very bright today."

Yan Wudao's body trembled, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the other party, with some surprise in his eyes. After a moment, he nodded heavily, and the man in sunglasses suddenly stopped talking.

The black boat was very fast, and it only took ten minutes to reach Haizhou City. The man in sunglasses followed Yan Wudao off the black boat, and the two left one after the other.

The black boat rose slowly, turned in the air, and headed for the parking place.

The surrounding space is inexplicably wrinkled by the light, as if there are some strange existences around it.

..............................

The man in sunglasses said goodbye to Yan Wudao in the floating area. Yan Wudao looked thoughtful, sighed, and walked towards the residence where his father currently lives.

The man in sunglasses walked forward and reached a commercial street. Looking at the people gathering to chat, he turned around and walked over, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Behind him were two men in gray coats with indifferent expressions. They stared at each other and followed quickly.

"You're back, haha, today..." Yan Sheng turned around with a smile in his large nightgown, but his words stopped when he saw Yan Wudao coming back.

"No way, no way." He shook his head with emotion, turned his head and ignored the other party.

‘Yan Wudao’ stood there with a dull expression, like a programmed robot whose previous mission had been completed.
