My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1981: Stratagem within a Stratagem

The silent black shadows appeared one by one in front of them, like a nightmare. Their entire bodies were wrapped in black clothing, their faces hidden, even their eyes concealed by night-vision goggles, making it impossible to discern who they truly were.

Then Fengye Wuyin was suddenly shocked, his pupils dilating.

He couldn’t recognize these people, but he couldn’t forget this voice, the voice that entangled publicly with Jun Yiyi at the banquet, the voice of the man who stirred in him a jealousy he never felt before.

It was him!

Why was Helian Ling Kong here? Numerous thoughts flashed through Fengye Wuyin’s mind instantly, finally settling on one suspicion.

Could it be that the mysterious team spying on the academy all along was him?

But if it was this man, then it was even stranger. With his capabilities, how could he not have gotten wind of tonight’s weapon smuggling? But if he hadn’t, him showing up here would be all the more bizarre.

Yet if he knew about it, why wasn’t he urgently tracking down those weapons?

Conflicting thoughts collided fiercely in his mind, igniting intense sparks. Fengye Wuyin’s eyes narrowed suddenly, his heart in turmoil: Could it be...

But then he heard the man opposite speak coldly and sarcastically.

"Many thanks to Fengye Ningyuan for gifting me such a grand present. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to infiltrate this academy, but due to its heavy defenses, I’ve found no better chance. Yet tonight, the place seems completely deserted, like an Empty City. It’s truly much appreciated!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Fengye Wuyin’s face turned instantly grim, both shocked and wanting to curse. He realized that his father was likely executing the Empty City Trick tonight.

This strategy was indeed quite clever, but who knew the Tao is one foot high, the devil ten feet high. That person saw through these layers of deception, discovering the real target remained within the academy, thus brazenly launching a massive invasion.

How could one describe that old man, the old fox steeped in political schemes for decades? Having played every possible trick, yet this time, he stumbled at the hands of a young man, excessively confident fool.

Grinding his teeth in resentment.

Then the phone in his pocket rang, and sure enough, it was from the old Fengye. He answered it irritably, only to hear Fengye Ningyuan’s urgent and deep voice.

"I heard the academy was invaded. Damn it, we’ve been outmaneuvered. You must stop them at all costs, don’t let them enter the inner area, or we’re in big trouble."

Fengye Wuyin retorted sarcastically: "Weren’t the weapons shipped out? Why would there be trouble?"

"No, that was just my strategy. The weapons are still where they were," Fengye Ningyuan sounded embarrassed, though his plan was actually very thorough.

Hosting a banquet to lure in all potential suspects, then covertly transporting weapons. Those suspects would undoubtedly keep a close watch on the academy. With such actions, they would definitely believe he was deliberately hosting a banquet to divert their attention, then secretly transporting the weapons away.

So they would certainly try to intercept the weapons.

Hence, he redirected most of the firepower to escort the weapons. But in reality, those weapons were fake and not the batch brought back from Yalan Country. Once those people came to intercept, he could capture them all in one fell swoop.

And by withdrawing the academy’s defensive forces, aiming to not only better eliminate those attempting interception but also to further convince the suspects that the weapons had indeed been transported away. Otherwise, how could the entire academy be left with little defense? They would be even more convinced that the weapons had already left. This was the Empty City Trick.
