End of the Month

Half an hour has passed since the explosion.

Flames still danced on the pristine lawn inside the stadium, and wisps of black smoke rose from the wreckage of the exploded SUV.

The large number of twisted, human-shaped black charcoal figures were so disgusting that they made one want to vomit up their dinner from the night before.

The only redeeming quality of this bombing attack is probably that it doesn't leave much bloodshed.

Crowds of people and vehicles moved inside and outside the stadium.

Shouts, horns, urging, crying... all sorts of sounds mingled together.

Fortunately, the chaos is being effectively quelled as field operations departments from various campuses and the city council's directly affiliated armed forces gradually enter the scene.

In public safety incidents involving crimes committed by perpetrators of deadly confrontations, some ordinary police officers are not even qualified to participate in on-site investigations and can only be responsible for some peripheral security and public evacuation work.

Ambulances arrived and left in convoys.

The injured from this incident were all transferred to one hospital.

"Name, address..."

Even those spectators who were not injured in the incident, despite being shaken, had to register their personal information before they could leave.

Lu Bai and Xiao Xueyin did not leave the VIP room. Given Xiao Xueyin's background, he could have been exempted from the series of checks and left directly.

But he was curious about how the matter would be handled, so he decided to stay and watch the excitement unfold.

Lu Bai instinctively looked toward a group of people gathered alone; they were the remaining students and their teachers from the various deathmatch campuses.

They were relatively far apart when the explosion occurred, and thus escaped unharmed.

He noticed that Liang Fuzhong was limping and walking back and forth in the crowd, seemingly checking on the casualties of the students at the Zudian Campus.

"You should still get checked to see if there are any internal injuries."

Lu Bai turned and patted Xiao Xueyin on the shoulder. "I'm leaving now."

"Aren't you going to take another look? Can Society such a horrific attack, it seems the field operations departments of Da Xiang and Xiaoxiang will have to make a scene to calm things down."

Xiao Xueyin wanted to know the outcome as soon as possible.

After all, Da Xiang's field operations department possesses a lot of intelligence on Can Society. At the very least, Can Society's strongholds to vent their anger, right?

"Good luck, and let me know when you get the results."

Lu Bai gave a perfunctory reply and walked away.

I showed my identification to get through the blockade.

Lu Bai did not continue wandering around, but went straight back to his home in Livability City.

The house was quiet because, now that they had money, Lu Qingyan Lu Ziyi, to kindergarten a couple of days ago.

Judging by the time, Lu Ziyi is probably out buying groceries, waiting for her son to get out of school before picking him up from kindergarten.

Lu Bai was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he simply lay down on the sofa to check the messages.

Undoubtedly, the most talked-about topic online right now is the stadium explosion.

After all, it was broadcast live in the entire event, and the level of attention was high. It was like someone suddenly running out and throwing a bomb during the opening ceremony of the Olympics; there was no way to hide such a thing.

There has been no official statement or characterization of the incident so far; only some casualties have been reported.

Instead, Can Society cheerfully stepped forward to take responsibility for the matter, only to have their account quickly banned by some mysterious force.

Regardless, such heinous incidents have indeed caused widespread panic among the public, reminding them once again Can Society the terrifying nature of those madmen.

The originally joyful atmosphere of welcoming the New Birth Festival was abruptly disrupted, with many people choosing to stay home and refrain from going out.

Of course, all this commotion wouldn't have any impact on Lu Bai.

He was just a little puzzled, not understanding why the Can Society hadn't informed him of their plans; he hadn't heard a single word. Did they suspect he was the mole?

"Even if I intend to be a mole, I haven't actually taken any action yet."

Lu Bai stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I can't figure it out..."

In the blink of an eye.

It has been almost half a month since the stadium explosion.

During this period, Lu Bai resumed his usual routine, clocking in at the campus on time every day and leaving on time.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to boost public confidence in public safety, the field operations departments of various campuses jointly carried out an arrest operation codenamed "Literacy Campaign".

During this period, they acted frantically, destroying several strongholds that Can Society, and the battle reports indeed showed impressive results.

Later on, even during the raids, they began to use live streaming to showcase their confidence from various angles.

According to official reports, over two hundred members of the Keke Can Society were arrested during the "literacy campaign," including two Can Society Vice President.

Well, if Lu Bai hadn't known President Zheng, he almost would have actually believed it.

Later, he got tired of wasting time reading these news articles and directly asked Pu Xueli or Xiao Xueyin.

In fact, many of the Can Society's strongholds were indeed destroyed.

Unfortunately, none of the truly heavyweight members were caught.

It seems that the Can Society knew those outposts were unsafe and had moved them in advance, leaving only a few people at each outpost to maintain daily operations, and these were mostly new members who Can Society.

Even after they were arrested and brought to justice, they couldn't extract any useful information from them.

In the eyes of those who know the inside story, this so-called "literacy campaign" is all bark and no bite, merely a ploy to boost public confidence.

Evening.

Beep~

After Lu Bai finished clocking in, he was about to go home for dinner when Pu Xueli stopped him at the school gate.

"Hey kid, New Birth Festival is in a couple of days. What's your decision? You should give me an answer, right?"

Pu Xueli was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Out of goodwill, he invited Lu Bai and his younger siblings to his home for dinner on New Birth Festival.

But ever since he asked that question, Lu Bai seemed to have completely forgotten about it and gave him no response.

With New Birth Festival fast approaching, he finally couldn't resist coming over to stop people and ask them questions.

"Ah?"

Lu Bai stared at Pu Xueli's expression for a couple of seconds, then Rapid Thinking, "Haha, after all, my younger siblings have never celebrated a holiday at someone else's house before... Let them think about it some more. Don't rush, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"You kid didn't take it seriously at all, did you?"

Pu Xueli looked at Lu Bai suspiciously, but couldn't see anything amiss. Helpless, he could only say, "Alright, then you must give me an answer tomorrow so my wife can prepare the dishes."

Lu Bai nodded with a smile, then walked around the healthy old man blocking his way. "I'm going home now."

Tomorrow is the Deathmatch Showdown, and because he was too lazy to explain any further, he simply didn't tell anyone this time.

In his opinion, the danger of Deathmatch Showdown wasn't very high...
