Chapter 600: Light Industry Trade Fair

Zhang Haifeng did not understand what Zhu Yanyi meant by "accident," but she went to pick up the person anyway. As Zhu Yanyi said, it was safer to keep the person in her own hands.

When Yan Aohan arrived, he saw Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin sitting on the only carousel prop in the open-air park. The carousel was donated by a circus years ago. It was free to use, but it no longer moved. Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin sat on it simply because they were bored. It was better than sitting on the stone blocks nearby.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi was safe, Yan Aohan breathed a sigh of relief. He walked over. "It seems you are in good spirits. You were not scared yesterday." His tone held a hint of praise. Most people would need time to recover from such an event.

Zhu Yanyi saw Yan Aohan and a smile flashed in her eyes. "Hello, Brother Yan. You are here." She also felt relieved. Now that he was here, the tight string of tension in her heart could finally relax.

"If I had not come, you would have been in danger." Yan Aohan walked to Zhu Zhibin and rubbed his head. "Was Doumiao scared?"

"I fell asleep last night. Second Sister even tried to wake me up for a late-night snack, but I didn't wake up. So I didn't know what fear was." Zhu Zhibin looked regretful. When he learned in the morning that people had actually come last night, he insisted on staying awake. It was a pity he did not see the scene with his own eyes.

Yan Aohan smiled slightly and said to Zhu Yanyi, "Well, I am here now. Let's go. I will take you to rest." He did not say it explicitly, but he knew Zhu Yanyi had not rested well all night. The most urgent thing was to let her rest properly.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. A ripple of emotion passed through her eyes. She knew her hardship without her saying it. This surprised her. Most importantly, seeing her made her feel particularly safe. The feeling of anxiety vanished instantly.

Yan Aohan took Zhu Yanyi and the others to a place called Building No. 1. He arranged for Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin to rest first. Only after confirming they were resting did Yan Aohan come out. He looked at Luo Gang and Wang Ye. "Tell me the specific details of this matter."

Luo Gang nodded and began to speak. "Miss and Doumiao joined a summer camp. They went to a village to perform and stayed there at night. In the middle of the night, they heard screams…" Luo Gang recounted the events step by step. "Then Miss's legs went weak, and she told us. When she performed the 'Empty City Stratagem' twice, she was actually very nervous. But to avoid being discovered, she held on. She even endured their final test. Then her legs went weak. Because of this, Miss did not rest well last night."

Yan Aohan's face darkened. His expression was unreadable. "She was holding on all along."

"Yes." Luo Gang nodded. "Miss held on the whole time. If her legs had not gone weak at the end, we would not have known she was pretending. Her calm demeanor made it impossible to guess she was empty and faking it."

"The Empty City Stratagem." Yan Aohan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Even the warlord Sima Yi was deceived back then. How can these people compare to Sima Yi? So it is understandable that they were tricked. What is rare is that her two Empty City Stratagems both worked." A hint of approval appeared in Yan Aohan's eyes. "This means that among the two groups she dealt with yesterday, their targets were different, but she accidentally encountered both."
