Chapter 9: Begin to Question

mind was blank, completely unsure of what to do. I shook my head.My thoughts are in complete disarray."What's wrong" Xu Yixue looked at her pale face, her voice laced with a hint of seriousness. "Did...Xu Yixue was walking on the school path. It was just after school and everyone was going to eat lunch. The whole way was filled with chatter.

At that moment, someone playing on their phone beside him suddenly called out:

Look, the trending topic just came out. It says there was a fight last night with gunshots and apparently some casualties.

Another person asked anxiously, “What was the gunshot about This is a high-end club in our Imperial Capital. Last week I even went with my mother to meet with suppliers.”

"I hope nothing illegal is happening in there, I'm still looking forward to partying there all night when I graduate next year."

All that was said was that there was a fight and gunshots, nothing else.

Xu Yixue heard this and didn't pay attention. She took out her earphones, put them in her ears, listened to English while walking towards the dormitory.

As soon as the door opened, a sight met my eyes: someone with a worried face, disheveled hair. If anyone else had seen them, they would have been terrified, thinking they'd encountered a ghost.

"Xue Xue, are you okay Why is your phone in the dormitory when I called you"

Because she knew her brother had a tracker on her phone, every time she went out to do something she shouldn't, she would put the phone under the pillow in her dorm room. Last time she went out to negotiate, she forgot to put the phone back, and it was possible that her brother found out, so she sounded a little guilty when she spoke.

"If Chen Zean hadn't called to ask if I went to Night Colors, I wouldn't have known there was a shooting last night. Are you okay" she said, checking her body constantly with her hands.

Xu Yixue lowered her head and looked at her phone for a few seconds, then turned and went to the restroom to change her clothes. Coming out, she walked up to Huang Minhan and Liu Fangli and told them about what happened last night.

"So, the richest man in the country saved you, and you saved him" Huang Minhan asked in surprise.

"Ah!" Liu Fangli cried out loudly, "Whether the richest man is handsome or not, he never shows his face."

Xu Yixue didn't even raise an eyelid, "Hmm."

"Don't disturb me, I need to take a nap. I have class at 3 p.m."

She didn't even realize it was her own phone ringing. Or perhaps Liu Fangli noticed that she wasn't answering and reminded her, "Xiaoxue, your phone is ringing, why aren't you answering"

Only then did Xu Yixue pick up the phone on the bed and glance at it before pressing the answer button. The other two remained taciturn.

"Hello, brother."

"Xue'er, how did your competition go today Why don't you call me after it's over" Xu Hengwen was wearing earphones and intently focusing on his emails, paying attention to every detail.

"If I perform as usual, there's no way she could beat me." Xu Yixue yawned. "I stayed up late last night studying so hard to avoid losing."

Xu Hengwen had already come down from his chair. Compared to Chen Shen, who was thin and tall in front of him, he had a more coordinated figure. He had broad shoulders, a narrow hip, and was very tall. His face was handsome, and there was a hint of seriousness about him.

“Well, you go to sleep for a bit, you…”

"Brother, Hannan called me from the bathroom, that's all."

"Good." Xu Hengwen stood by the window, looking down at the towering skyscrapers below. "Chen Shen, check Miss Wang's whereabouts these past few days." The shelves were so heavy and the glass panes so large, they had already taken away anything remotely threatening inside.This is the best I can do, I heaved the iron frame and smashed the glass with...
