While the candidates are discussing the latest "Martial Arts Rankings".

Huo Yuan, who was carrying a black backpack, had quietly walked around the edge of the examination room to the side of the podium.

He came to the stage, looked around, and walked straight up the stairs.

"stop."

A young man with a work badge hanging around his neck rushed over and asked with a frown: "Which school are you from? If you don't just stay in the examination room, why are you running to the podium?"

Huo Yuan glanced at him and said, "I am from Linjiang No. 3 Middle School. I have something urgent to do with Senior Sister Ning Xi from Linjiang University."

The young man shook his head and said with a serious look on his face: "Miss Ning Xi is very busy. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Can you please be accommodating? I'm really in a hurry." Huo Yuan was a little anxious.

"If I say no, it won't be possible," the young man raised his head and said sternly, "The people on the rostrum are all leaders of the Education Bureau and celebrities from all walks of life. How unbecoming is it for you, a student, to run around on it?

If you have anything to do, say it now, and if you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible and don't get in the way here."

"You...!" Huo Yuan suddenly felt depressed.

At this time, a heavenly voice suddenly came from not far away: "What's going on?"

Huo Yuan looked up and saw a graceful girl in white walking down the stairs. He was filled with surprise. He waved and shouted: "Senior Ning Xi... I am Huo Yuan. I have something important to see."

you!"

"What's the fuss about?"

The young man shouted coldly, turned to Ning Xi, nodded and bowed and said, "Miss Ning Xi, this student is unruly and has disturbed your observation of the exam. I will drive him away right now."

After saying that, he reached out and pushed Huo Yuan.

"Wait a minute." Ning Xi said calmly.

Although she was not familiar with Huo Yuan, she also knew that he was Chen Yuan's childhood friend and best friend.

Seeing that he looked anxious and hesitated to speak, it was obvious that he had something important on his mind.

Fortunately, he turned around and said to the young man: "Don't worry about it, I will take care of the rest."

"This..." The young man looked hesitant.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you go quickly?" Ning Xi frowned slightly and said impatiently.

"……All right."

The young man was a well-connected person and was used to being overbearing. However, when he met a rich and powerful daughter of Ning Xi's level, he had no choice but to bow his head and give in. He turned to look at Huo Yuan, smiled coquettishly, and turned around and left knowingly.

Seeing the young man walking away, Huo Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to Ning Xi and said, "Senior Ning Xi, thank you for showing up in time."

"Did Chen Yuan ask you to come?" Ning Xi asked.

"Yes." Huo Yuan nodded.

Ning Xi pondered for a moment and said calmly: "You are so anxious to see me, what happened?"

Huo Yuan glanced around, stretched out a hand, and made a "walking" gesture to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi frowned slightly, "So mysterious?"

After a while, the two of them came to a deserted and quiet place behind the rostrum.

Ning Xi crossed her arms and said calmly, "Can I say it now?"

Huo Yuan checked the surrounding environment again to confirm that no one was passing by.

Then he turned his head, looked directly at Ning Xi, and said word by word: "Chen Yuan once told me that you are one of the people he trusts most, so this matter... I can only leave it to you!"

After saying that, he bent down and bowed to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi couldn't help crying or laughing when she saw how serious he was.

Hearing the words "the most trusted person" again, his cheeks turned slightly red and he said angrily: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly, don't be too nagging."

Huo Yuan straightened up and said, "Senior, have you heard about Chen Yuan's disappearance half a month ago?"

"Yeah." Ning Xi nodded and said, "I asked him what happened, but he refused to tell."

Huo Yuan sighed and said: "To be honest, Chen Yuan was missing for half a month and was kidnapped to Blackwood Town. The main messenger behind the scenes is Yun Qingyan, the eldest son of the Yun family."

"It's really a kidnapping."

Ning Xi's eyes turned cold and she said slowly: "I made such a guess before and questioned Yun Qingyan several times. Unfortunately, there was no evidence and there was nothing I could do against him."

"I have evidence." Huo Yuan said seriously.

"What evidence?" Ning Xi frowned slightly.

Huo Yuan took off the black backpack on his shoulder, opened the zipper, took out a crumpled note and an eyeball-shaped object, and handed them to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi took the note, opened it, took a look, and smiled mysteriously.

Then he raised the "eyeball" and asked: "What is this?"

Huo Yuan said: "This is the 'invisible camera' that Chen Yuan brought out from Heimu Town. It recorded important evidence that identified Yun Qingyan. As for the note, he asked me to hand it to you personally, and said...

"

"What else can you say?"

"He also said...Senior Sister Bingxue is smart and unparalleled in the world. She can understand it at a glance."

"Flattery." Ning Xi smiled sweetly and continued to study the "eyeballs".

After a while, she stretched out her jade finger and gently pressed a button on the side of the "eyeball".

With a soft "beep" sound, a cyan beam of light shot out, forming a square holographic screen in mid-air.

Ning Xi looked up and saw a gloomy and narrow dark room on the screen.

There was a spring bed in the corner of the dark room, and lying on the bed was a young man with a bandaged head, who seemed to be sleeping.

She clicked a few times on the screen to enlarge the boy's face.

Her pretty face changed color instantly, and she lost her voice and said, "Is this Chen Yuan?"

Huo Yuan nodded and remained silent.

Ning Xi stretched out her finger and swiped quickly on the video. It didn't take long for her to browse through the video.

His eyes flashed and he asked Huo Yuan, "Who else has seen this thing?"

"In addition to Chen Yuan, there are me and Xu Pang, that is Liu Xu." Huo Yuan answered truthfully.

"Okay," Ning Xi nodded and said, "I'll accept the things. You go back and wait for the news. If everything goes well, it will be done within half an hour."

"Thank you, senior!" Huo Yuan bowed again.

"I really can't stand you naughty kids." Ning Xi smiled lightly and said, "Tell Chen Yuan that he owes me a favor. As for how to repay it, I will tell him after I have thought about it."

"Yes!" Huo Yuan picked up his backpack, turned around and left with a solemn look on his face without any hesitation.

Ning Xi lowered her head, opened the note, took another look, and murmured, "Junior, junior, I haven't seen you for a month, you've really learned badly..."

…

…

The "main control room" is located on the west side of the rostrum.

Mainly responsible for the management of all holographic screens in the examination room and the real-time playback of examination videos.

Including the giant holographic screen above the rostrum, all video content in the entire Cultural Expo and Sports Center is output by the "main control room".

Ning Xi bypassed the staff of the Education Bureau and came to the door of the main control room carrying a beige backpack.

He took a deep breath and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who...!"

A rough and hoarse voice came from the control room.

Immediately after a "Ka" sound, the door opened slightly, and a stubble-covered man's face emerged from the crack in the door.

"Uncle Yu, it's me." Ning Xi smiled sweetly.

"Haha, it's Xiao Xi, come in and sit down!"

The person in charge of the main control room, "Lao Yu", was originally the technical director of the Ning family's industry. After leaving the Ning family industry, he still worked in his old field. He also often cooperated with Linjiang University on weekdays, so he naturally knew Ning Xi.

When he saw her coming, he immediately opened the door and welcomed her with a smile.

Ning Xi smiled and walked into the main control room. She looked stunned and smiled to herself: "It's really complicated..."

In the main control room, except for a few swivel chairs, the rest of the space is filled with instruments and equipment. Countless wires are tangled up in a ball and hung in the corner, looking like a pile of colorful vines.

.

On a screen in the center, the city's ranking of the martial arts subjects of the college entrance examination is displayed, which is exactly the same as what is played on the giant screen on the rostrum.

Ning Xi looked around and saw that there was no one else in the main control room, so her nervousness eased a little.
