The next morning, Jiang Nan sat in class for morning study with huge dark circles under his eyes!
Just thinking about what had happened the night before made him seethe!
What was wrong with all those people...
But the atmosphere in class that morning was unusually lively!
Everyone was talking about the huge explosion at the mall the night before!
"River City was in chaos all night! The whole city was under lockdown!"
"I heard it had something to do with the mall explosion! And someone saw a group of mysterious people in black jackets searching the city!"
"Could they have been a secret unit?"
Li Xiang curled his lip. "What do you guys know? That was the Night Legion, the most mysterious unit in our country!"
"Holy crap! Brother Xiang, you're amazing! How do you know?"
Li Xiang looked rather pleased with himself. "My cousin's in the armed police. He took part in the operation yesterday!"\ncom
The students perked up at once!
"What happened? Come on, tell us the details!"
"Yeah! Yeah!"
Li Xiang lowered his voice mysteriously. "It's all classified. I'm telling you, so don't let it get out!"
"I heard it was an operation from the Russian side. They snuck into our country and stole a batch of things, then fled north from the capital all the way here!"
"They were probably trying to cross the border through Black River, but our people intercepted them here!"
"They were the ones who caused the explosion at the mall yesterday!"
The students' eyes lit up, and they showered him with praise.
"That's incredible! You got your hands on insider information?"
"Awesome! Seriously awesome!"
Li Xiang smiled and glanced at Jiang Nan, his eyes full of smugness.
One student suddenly said:
"I watched the live broadcast on the news last night! Did you see that woman who jumped from the sixth floor?"
"I saw her too! She was terrifying! She ripped the car door right off!"
"Speaking of which, South God was pretty incredible last night!"
As they spoke, quite a few students turned to look at Jiang Nan!
Some looked conflicted, while others gave him a thumbs-up!
A lot of people had watched the news broadcast last night. When they saw it was Jiang Nan, they were stunned!
Li Xiang froze. "Jiang Nan? What does he have to do with it?"
"Brother Xiang, you didn't know? South God was at the mall during the explosion yesterday! He used teleportation to rush into the fire and rescued more than sixty people. It was on TV!"
"I heard he even brought out a foreigner, who was taken away by the armed police!"
"He's seriously incredible! I even have the video from yesterday. A girl was trapped in the fire and was still livestreaming!"
Then someone shared a video from Weibo in the class group!
River City Evening News!
Headline:
@South God! The heroic young man who braved the flames! Is his true identity a Sailor Soldier? A Little Fairy? A high school student?
No, no, no! He's actually a night-market stall owner!
The video showed Jiang Nan rescuing people!
It also showed his ridiculous conversation with Yu Qingqing!
And finally, the clip of Jiang Nan giving a thumbs-down!
It had over a million views!
Even River City Fire and Rescue had reposted it and tagged @South God!
The caption read: "Strong youth make a strong nation! Well done! On behalf of those rescued and all our personnel, River City Fire and Rescue would like to express our gratitude!"
The comments below had exploded!
"Hahaha! The greatest stall owner in history!"
"Holy crap, ten yuan for two pairs of underwear! I'm dying!"
"From today on, I'm in love with Buzz Cut!"
Ying Xue: "You did great, little brother!"
Xiaoyu: "I followed you! I've turned on notifications for your posts!"
Lone Wolf on a Moonlit Night: "You owe me a candy! I want candy! Now! Right now! Immediately!
I want candy (｀⌒′メ)!"
Wu Liang: "Big bro, you're awesome!"
Little Candy: I laughed so hard I got beaten up by my little brother! Poor me~
Jiang Nan scratched his head. Did so many people use Weibo?
Was that Little Candy Tang Qianya?
What was going on with Xia Yao?
He replied to Xia Yao: "Nyah nyah nyah~ Not giving it to you!"
He checked his account and saw his followers had surged past a hundred thousand!
Li Xiang's face darkened. He felt even worse!
He'd been bragging about having insider information,
while Jiang Nan had gone into the fire and rescued people himself!
And he'd even helped the armed police catch someone!
The huge sense of disappointment and the gap between them drove Li Xiang nearly crazy!
But he couldn't say anything!
Li Muyan and the others looked just as unhappy!
They'd once been the bottom of the class, laughed at and bullied by everyone!
Now they were the center of attention!
The resentment in their hearts grew even stronger.
A short while later, several harsh screeches of brakes rang out!
Someone curiously craned their neck to look outside.
"Holy crap! Three military vehicles just pulled up! A bunch of people got out!"
"Let me see! What's going on? Why are military vehicles at our school?"
The students crowded around the classroom windows!
Jiang Nan looked over, curious too.
Sure enough, three green military vehicles were parked outside. The people who'd gotten out had already entered the teaching building!
Jiang Nan began to wonder.
Had that Blonde Beauty been arrested?
Was this to reward him?
Heh heh?
He knew it!
After doing something so heroic last night and successfully holding off Blonde Beauty,
how could he not get recognized for it?
Just as the students were excitedly discussing the military vehicles,
a hurried set of footsteps came from the hallway!
Wildcat had to duck slightly to enter the classroom. She stood nearly six foot three.
She wore an all-black uniform and military boots, with no insignia on her shoulders!
A man and a woman from the Night Legion followed behind her. They were the same two people from the rooftop last night!
The previously noisy classroom fell completely silent!
The students were all dumbfounded!
What was going on?
People from the Night Legion?
Wasn't that tall woman leading them the tough one who'd jumped from the sixth floor last night?
Why was she in their classroom?
Wildcat's narrow eyes swept over the class!
Everyone she looked at felt a chill run down their back, as if a knife were pointed at their chest!
They sat up straight in terror, not daring to breathe too loudly!
Wildcat's eyes settled on Jiang Nan. She glanced back at the two behind her!
"Captain! That's him!"
Wildcat nodded. Under the stunned gazes of the students, she walked straight to Jiang Nan's desk!
Her sharp, phoenix-shaped eyes fixed on him.
The classroom fell as silent as a grave!
Jiang Nan awkwardly scratched his head. "Um... you didn't need to make such a big fuss. This is kind of embarrassing!"
In truth, he was already prepared to accept their praise!
Come on!
Praise me even more!
Clink!
Wildcat tossed a pair of black handcuffs onto the desk.
"Are you putting them on yourself, or should I do it?"
Jiang Nan: ???
What the hell?
This wasn't right!
This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
Where was the commendation?
Where was the medal?
Why did your medal look so much like a pair of handcuffs?
They're so damn stylish!
He said timidly, "Um... maybe check your pockets again? Could you have pulled out the wrong thing?"
Wildcat stared at Jiang Nan expressionlessly, then pulled a black hood out of her pocket...
Jiang Nan: ...
That's the two-piece set!
Run?
Of course he had to run!
That hood was a dead giveaway!
You weren't really from the Night Legion, were you?
But when he thought of what had happened to Alexander, Jiang Nan shuddered!
Run? Right under the nose of a woman who could rip off car doors?
Forget it!
Jiang Nan swiftly put on the handcuffs and pulled the black hood over his head!
After a moment's thought, he asked, "Um... are you feeding us lunch?"
Wildcat's eye twitched. She grabbed Jiang Nan by the back of the collar,
flung open the window, and leaped out!
A dull thud came from below!
Jiang Nan could feel the wind roaring past his ears!
He let out a scream!
She'd jumped off a building again?
What kind of hobby was that?
Couldn't they just take the stairs?
The two Night Legion members following her looked speechless and hurried after them!
The principal, sweating profusely and trembling all over, followed behind them too...
The students in the classroom were completely dumbfounded!
What was going on?
Had the Night Legion arrested Jiang Nan?
