Huo Ting Cheng's stride never faltered, his coat brushing against Tang Fei's legs as he carried her through the courtyard and down the marble steps. Sunlight glared off the tinted windshields in the parking lot, a harsh contrast to the pallor of her skin.
Huo Qi stood waiting beside the lead vehicle, offering a sharp nod as they approached. "The entire school perimeters is secure. All students are accounted for and identified. The four unconscious and suspicious figures have been transported to headquarters for questioning."
"Good," Huo Ting Cheng replied, his tone clipped. "Any word from the control room?"
"Not yet Sixth Master, but the deleted footage is partially recovered. We'll analyze the rest at the Conglomerate." He hurriedly reported, and their work was underway.
With a brief nod, Huo Ting Cheng shifted Tang Fei in his arms as the car door swung open. She stirred faintly, her whisper barely audible. "You can put me down, Ting Cheng… I can walk."
