The family attendant, upon hearing Lin Weidong's words, had a look of great uncertainty on his face.
In fact, he felt threatened.
To prevent his young master from getting hurt and him facing punishment, he had suggested withdrawing from the training camp.
Then, once the young master was taken back, he could simply claim that the Dragon Group had expelled the person.
This way, he would bear no responsibility at all!
But now, Lin Weidong was actually asking him to make a phone call…
"Also, regarding the appearance of the unknown creatures here, not a single word can leak out," Lin Weidong said sternly.
"Otherwise, you know the consequences."
This was about the Dragon Group's reputation, and even the safety of the remaining disciples from other families.
Although Lin Weidong usually spoke courteously, at this moment, his attitude couldn't help but become tough!
The family attendant, with a dark expression, nodded. "Then I'll first report to my family and then get back to you."
With that, he turned and left!
Lin Weidong watched the man's retreating figure and slowly shook his head.
No one was a fool, and Lin Weidong naturally saw through the family attendant's plan.
Towards people like him, Lin Weidong naturally wouldn't show any pleasantries, and his words were bound to be unpleasant.
Judging by the family attendant's demeanor, he was already displeased.
But so what?
If he dared to speak carelessly outside, Lin Weidong and the Dragon Group were not to be trifled with!
The family attendant, filled with anger, stormed out of the conference room and into an open area.
Seeing that no one was around, he finally took out his phone and called the family head.
"Attendant Zeng, why the sudden call? Has something happened to Xi'er?" A middle-aged man's voice, rather deep, came from the other end of the phone.
Attendant Zeng, having held back a bellyful of anger from Lin Weidong, immediately said, "There's danger at the training camp, which could affect the young master's life."
"Family Head, I wish to bring the young master back."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Presumably, he was weighing the pros and cons!
The opportunity to participate in this training camp was hard-won.
If they withdrew now, it would be a loss for both his son and the family.
Of course.
Attendant Zeng was a powerful attendant of their family, and the family head usually respected him.
Therefore, he considered Attendant Zeng's words with great seriousness!
"Attendant Zeng, what exactly is the danger?" The family head still didn't want to give up the training opportunity easily, so he inquired.
Attendant Zeng wanted to blurt it out.
But he suddenly remembered Lin Weidong's warning.
He had no choice but to forcefully suppress the words at the tip of his tongue!
"The specifics are confidential, as per the Dragon Group's request."
"However, based on my estimation, the danger level is very high." Attendant Zeng could only speak euphemistically.
The family head hesitated for a long time before softly saying, "Is the danger so great that even you cannot protect Xi'er?"
"Yes." Attendant Zeng did not hesitate.
This time, the family head could only reluctantly agree.
"Then inform the Dragon Group. When it's convenient, have the Dragon Group send a helicopter to pick you both up."
Although Attendant Zeng was powerful, he was still only one person.
If he were to escort his son back halfway, there might be danger.
The Dragon Group's armed strength was more reliable!
However, due to his earlier conversation with Lin Weidong, Attendant Zeng harbored resentment towards Lin Weidong and even the Dragon Group.
He immediately rejected the family head's suggestion.
"No need. I can escort the young master back myself."
"After all, the danger at the training camp originates from within. It's uncertain if the people from the Dragon Group are trustworthy."
Upon hearing Attendant Zeng's words, the family head's heart suddenly jolted.
He hadn't expected the situation at the training camp to be so dire!
He immediately agreed to Attendant Zeng's proposal.
"Alright, but you must explain things clearly to the Dragon Group, especially to Old Lin. Don't offend anyone."
Attendant Zeng readily agreed from outside the door.
After hanging up the phone.
Attendant Zeng glanced nonchalantly in the direction of the conference room.
He let out a soft scoff.
Then he strode towards the dormitory for new recruits!
Lin Weidong, that old fellow, never said a pleasant word.
Fortunately, today he could take the young master and leave, no longer needing to stay in this godforsaken place!
Lin Weidong, on the other hand, was unaware of what had transpired with Attendant Zeng.
He was still pondering the scene he had witnessed on the small island.
The ancient tree covered in claw marks still sent shivers down his spine!
What puzzled him to no end was:
Why would those unknown creatures scratch the tree trunk?
This was completely contrary to his understanding of unknown creatures.
After all, the trunk of that large tree was extremely hard.
If they scratched too much, their claws might even get injured!
Moreover, judging by the appearance, it seemed to be a collective activity of the unknown creatures, not something they did out of boredom.
After much thought, Lin Weidong could not explain it.
He could only hope that the laboratory would provide some conclusion tomorrow!
At this moment.
Zhou Yu was being cornered by Zhao Ruyue.
After the meeting.
Zhou Yu had intended to slip away directly, but he was intercepted by Zhao Ruyue halfway.
With people all around, it wasn't convenient for Zhou Yu to say much to Zhao Ruyue, so he suggested moving to another spot.
Now, the two of them were hidden in the corner behind the conference room, standing face to face, in silence!
"Doctor Zhao, Miss Zhao, I honestly didn't notice anything. My eyes were solely focused on saving people."
"Just tell me, what do I have to do for you to let me go?" Zhou Yu said, near tears.
Zhao Ruyue gave him a sidelong glance. After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ruyue said, "Who said I wouldn't let you go? Making it sound like I'm a man-eating tiger!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
It was practically like a man-eating tiger!
Of course, Zhou Yu dared not say this out loud, lest he get beaten up by Zhao Ruyue.
So he could only ask, "Then why did you stop me?"
"I wanted to take a walk with you, is that not allowed?" Zhao Ruyue retorted immediately.
This reminded Zhou Yu that when they first met today, they had still been on friendly terms.
But after a series of events, Zhao Ruyue's attitude had changed!
To avoid upsetting Zhao Ruyue, Zhou Yu reluctantly nodded.
"We can't go to crowded places, lest people misunderstand," Zhou Yu reminded her.
The main reason was that the training camp was mostly filled with young, energetic men.
All single men.
If Zhou Yu were seen walking with Zhao Ruyue, and people misunderstood,
They would surely have all sorts of thoughts in their minds!
Being pointed at was a minor issue for Zhou Yu, but it would also tarnish Zhao Ruyue's reputation.
Zhou Yu was not such a reckless person.
However, Zhao Ruyue clearly misunderstood Zhou Yu's intention.
She rolled her eyes with no pretense of politeness, almost grinding her teeth. "Fine, I'll listen to you!"
With that, she turned and walked ahead.
Judging by her demeanor, she seemed to be sulking.
Zhou Yu, with a helpless expression, followed behind her.
This situation truly left Zhou Yu at a loss.
Heaven knows, when Zhou Yu was in the treatment room, he was genuinely just treating her, with no other intentions.
But Zhao Ruyue just wouldn't believe him…
