Lin Weidong was in a fit of anger.
Among the observers gathered in the training ground, some were becoming impatient!
"Why are we being called out in the middle of the night? What's going on?"
"Exactly, they won't tell us clearly. If it's something so important, can't it wait until tomorrow morning!"
These observers' faces were filled with impatience.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night.
Furthermore, most of them were exceptionally concerned about their reputation.
Even if summoned to the training ground for a temporary assembly, they had to be properly dressed!
"We're not members of the Dragon Group. Why should we assemble just because they say so? Are they trying to inconvenience us?"
One of the family escorts said unceremoniously.
Lin Weidong, with a grim expression, looked at the group.
Ignoring their grumbling, he directly asked, "Who else has not reported for duty?"
Hearing Lin Weidong's question, the grumbling finally subsided.
However, they exchanged glances with each other.
After all, not everyone in the observer group knew each other.
This time, the observers were a mix of people from different districts!
They couldn't tell who else was missing.
And those who didn't show up wouldn't report themselves.
At this moment, a member of the Dragon Group handed a compiled list to Lin Weidong: "After a roll call, these are the ones who are absent."
Lin Weidong lowered his head and his anger intensified!
Good heavens.
These observers were truly disrespectful of discipline.
There were a full twenty people absent!
And the Dragon Group had limited personnel, unable to barge into everyone's room to check who was missing from the new recruit training base.
As a result, this list became useless!
"Fine, very fine!"
"Since you have joined the observer group, you must obey orders at the Dragon Group's temporary training base!"
Lin Weidong said through gritted teeth, his imposing gaze sweeping across the entire area.
Those who met Lin Weidong's gaze couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
At this point, a brave individual asked.
"We came here so late out of respect for Elder Lin. That's why we've assembled."
"Could you please tell us what happened? Is there a new danger?"
These words made everyone's expression turn serious!
That's right.
Upon reflection, Lin Weidong was not someone who liked to throw his weight around.
Since he had called them here in the middle of the night, there must be some emergency.
Perhaps there really was a dangerous situation!
The matter with the unknown creatures had only just been barely resolved.
Could it be that they were about to fall into danger again?
Could the Dragon Group's new recruit training proceed smoothly this time?
Everyone present felt a sense of unease, a premonition of something ominous!
Lin Weidong naturally couldn't tell the observers the truth. Before the Shadow Organization was identified, revealing it would only alert them!
Therefore, Lin Weidong said solemnly, "Indeed, we have made a discovery. We found a suspicious individual on the island!"
"But because the person was too fast, we couldn't catch them."
"I suspect this person is the one who released the unknown creatures!"
Lin Weidong still didn't mention the Shadow Organization, but the information he revealed was enough to cause an uproar among those present.
No wonder Lin Weidong had to assemble them in the middle of the night.
As long as the assembly was prompt enough.
It would be clear who came and who didn't!
But now, with one-third of the observers absent, how could they investigate?
"Fortunately, I came. Those present should be able to be cleared of suspicion."
Someone said with relief.
At least they wouldn't be suspected!
Lin Weidong glanced at him but said nothing.
His gaze occasionally swept over the list of absentees.
There were twenty names on it. Who among them had the highest probability?
"Since the assembly is useless now, can we dismiss?" someone, unable to bear it any longer, objected.
After all, so many people were absent; they wouldn't be able to find anything out.
It would be better to go back and get some sleep!
Lin Weidong's expression was grave and extremely vigilant. He immediately refused: "No, everyone must remain in the training ground until the others arrive!"
It wasn't that Lin Weidong wanted to torment them.
Because Lin Weidong realized that if the Shadow Organization had infiltrated the observer group.
Then there couldn't be just one person.
As long as they covered for each other.
The names registered by the Dragon Group members could be inaccurate!
Hearing Lin Weidong's words, those present immediately began to complain.
They had been kept waiting for so long with no result!
Were they not allowed to sleep?
Lin Weidong ignored their complaints and instructed the Dragon Group members to go knock on each person's door.
They had to confirm if the person was in the room.
Then bring them to the training ground!
If necessary, they could use force.
This concerned the safety of the entire new recruit training base, and it could not be taken lightly!
The members of the Dragon Group immediately obeyed.
Zhou Yu also didn't idle. He went along to call people.
For no other reason.
Zhou Yu was particularly eager to know if the Zhang family's escorts were in their rooms.
He had to confirm it himself!
When they reached the observers' resting area, everyone split up.
Zhou Yu, however, headed straight for the Zhang family escort's room.
Knock, knock, knock—
Zhou Yu knocked on the door. A voice from inside responded.
"What is it?"
Zhou Yu lowered his voice: "Elder Lin wants everyone to gather in the training ground."
The escort, Zhu, sounded very impatient and perfunctorily said, "Got it, got it. I'm not feeling well right now and don't want to go."
Not feeling well?
An excuse!
However, Zhou Yu couldn't confirm if this was Zhu's excuse or if there was another reason.
"You have to go even if you don't want to. Elder Lin said that anyone absent will be treated as a suspect!" Zhou Yu said with a straight face and a very stern tone.
If Lin Weidong were here, he would probably be speechless.
When had he ever said something like that?
Zhu Gongfeng originally didn't want to bother with Zhou Yu, but upon hearing Elder Lin's command.
He grudgingly put on his clothes and shoes.
After a rustling sound, the door was opened.
Zhu Gongfeng, fully dressed, stood at the door, his expression displeased as he said, "What's the matter so late at night?"
"You'll know when we get to the training ground," Zhou Yu replied, his gaze subtly scanning Zhu Gongfeng from head to toe.
Especially the cuffs and hem of Zhu Gongfeng's long gown.
However, after a thorough look, Zhu Gongfeng's long gown had no tears.
On the contrary, Zhu Gongfeng felt a chill from Zhou Yu's gaze. He clutched his chest and couldn't help but step back, saying, "What kind of look is that?"
"Are you sick?"
There was no way around it, Zhou Yu's gaze was too intense.
Like a young man pursuing a goddess.
It was easy to cause misunderstandings!
