386: Chapter 386 Should we have someone contact Jiang You?

"That is true."

In the hall, many of the big shots breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in their chairs one after another.

"In fact..." The man in the suit spoke with a strange tone, adding softly, "Judging from the theory and the time of the crime, the probability that the student Mo Wu, who possesses the [Cognitive Masking] Supernatural Ability and hid in the dungeon until the very last moment, is the Faceless Man... is much higher than Jiang You's!"

Everyone: "..."

Now, the entire conference room fell into complete silence.

The trail had been completely cut off here.

The entire conference room's deductions seemed to have fallen into an unbreakable dead end.

The same trajectory, the same surname, terrifying strength—yet everything was stuck on the unbreakable laws of martial arts and a perfect alibi.

Just as everyone was at their wit's end and the tea in the conference room was about to go cold.

Sitting on the side, President Xia Yun of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, who had been silent and resting with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes slowly.

He sighed, placed the teacup in his hand steadily on the table, and it made a slight, crisp sound.

"Everyone, after listening to your deductions, I would like to say a few words."

As soon as President Xia Yun spoke, everyone's gaze gathered on this Tier 6 Grandmaster.

President Xia Yun cleared his throat and said unhurriedly:

"Old man Principal Pang Ban from Magic City Martial Arts University and I have been friends for decades. In the past two days, I've been prying around to find out the specific situation regarding the student Jiang You."

"Principal Pang Ban said that this kid Jiang You has absolutely no ambition in his brain other than sleeping. He would rather sit than stand, and would rather lie down than sit; he is a famously lazy person at school."

"The boys in his dormitory can all testify to this."

Speaking of this, President Xia Yun's expression turned somewhat strange, and he continued:

"And what about that Faceless Man who robbed everyone until they were left with nothing but their underwear?"

"He is a ruthless, unscrupulous guy who would even want to strip a pair of worn-out socks off a student's feet; he is an extremely greedy and highly organized dangerous element."

"I can only say that the Jiang You described by Principal Pang Ban and the personality of that Faceless Man are simply two extreme, contradictory cases."

President Xia Yun shook his head and concluded:

"Even if a person's acting skills are heaven-defying, it is impossible to switch so smoothly between an 'extreme slacker' and an 'extreme bandit.' This does not conform to the laws of psychology."

After listening to President Xia Yun's analysis, many of the high-level officials present nodded.

Indeed, it is very difficult to disguise one's personality so thoroughly.

"Since that's the case, let's put the suspicion regarding the Faceless Man aside for now."

The big shot from the General Administration at the head of the table tapped the table, making the final decision:

"But the student Jiang You himself, being able to complete such a miraculous leap in one year, has a level of danger and strategic value that is in no way inferior to a potential high-level member of a cult."

"No matter what kind of secrets he is hiding, our General Administration must figure out as soon as possible whether he is on the side of Great Xia."

"And whether his personality is truly just a harmless slacker, as Principal Pang Ban said."

The General Administration big shot straightened his back, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present:

"So I propose sending someone whose identity is not so sensitive and who has enough affinity to make private contact with Jiang You."

"So that we can figure out this kid's true character in the most relaxed state."

"Does everyone agree with this suggestion?"

"Agreed."

"No objections."

The big shots raised their hands one after another.

However, after the resolution was passed.

A moment of extreme, short-lived silence suddenly appeared in the conference room.

Immediately after, the dozen or so military big shots, martial arts giants, and even several gray-haired reclusive elders present turned their heads in unison, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.

They locked their gazes tightly onto President Xia Yun, who was just preparing to pick up his teacup to drink.

President Xia Yun, who had just brought the teacup to his lips, felt his hand stiffen abruptly.

Looking at the sincere eyes of this group of old foxes that were full of trust and carried a hint of "it has to be you."

The corners of President Xia Yun's mouth twitched violently; he didn't know whether to put down or hold onto the teacup.

President Xia Yun: "..."

No, why are you all looking at me?!

How would I know how to have "intimate contact" with a male college student!

"Old Xia, don't play dumb with me."

The military big shot sitting to the right of the main seat chuckled, tapped his calloused fingers on the table, and spoke unhurriedly:

"Old Xia, hasn't your academy's student Qin Zhuo met that Jiang You from Magic City Martial Arts University a few times?"

Upon hearing the name "Qin Zhuo," President Xia Yun's heart skipped a beat, his wrist trembled, and the warm tea almost spilled out from the edge of the cup.

He put down the teacup somewhat awkwardly, his face dark, and said in a tone that was as calm as possible but carried deep concern:

"Uh... after all, they participated in two competitions together, so they should have met."

"But you all know that kid Qin Zhuo. As the inheritor of the Divine Phoenix Undying Fire, her temper is inevitably a bit volatile, and her personality is quite strong-willed."

President Xia Yun sighed, and the surveillance footage from the previous melee battle involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

In that survival elimination match, which lasted for several hours, whenever the big screen's camera cut to Qin Zhuo, that girl was almost always in a state of rage, ready to drag someone down with her at any moment.

Her face clearly displayed the resentment of "I will dig three feet into the ground just to drag Jiang You out and beat him up."

Although President Xia Yun did not know what kind of grudge these two kids had before this.

But he could be one hundred percent sure that Qin Zhuo found Jiang You one hundred percent disagreeable, to the point of wanting to tear him apart alive!

Letting such a young lady, who is covered in Divine Phoenix Fire and is constantly holding back the urge to cause trouble for Jiang You, act as an undercover agent to carry out so-called "gentle contact"?

Is this even "contact"?

This is clearly sending a mobile powder keg that could explode at any moment to set off firecrackers at the entrance of the Magic City Martial Arts University camp!

However.

He still underestimated the thickness of the skin of this group of veteran grandmasters, who were battle-hardened and had skin as thick as city walls.

"Old Xia, you can't say it like that."

A veteran grandmaster with a goatee, who had been responsible for logistics and resource allocation at the General Administration for years, immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum and chided him with a disapproving face:

"We've also seen that young girl Qin Zhuo; what a well-behaved young girl she is!"

"She always pays her respects properly when she sees us old guys on normal days. How come when it comes to you, her president, you describe her like a powder keg that explodes at the slightest touch, making her seem worthless!"

"Exactly, Old Xia!"

A military general beside him also rolled his eyes and chimed in:

"We aren't saying we're introducing them for a blind date, so why are you so nervous?"

"It's just young people interacting normally as friends."

"Besides, they are both college students, there's a small generation gap, and they can chat. Only in this way can we understand the true personality of this kid Jiang You in the most relaxed state!"

"It's better than finding someone who has no connection to Jiang You to go and sit there awkwardly, right?"

"Old Xia, whether it works or not, why don't you go back and ask her."
