Boom, boom, boom.
His voice was calm and polite.
But at this time, any visit would seem unusual; it doesn't seem like a polite time to visit.
Barr said gloatingly, "Oh, the ward rounds are here? Is it An Changqing or Long Ao? Guess."
Chen Guan put the token back into his storage ring, got up and walked to the door. He wasn't going to play guessing games.
The person standing outside the door surprised him.
The cunning Baal chose between An Changqing and Long Ao.
It is Liu Feiyu.
He was dressed in simple black casual clothes today, without any flashy accessories, and looked like a good student.
His face had lost its usual cynicism; his eyes were calm as he quietly looked at the coffin.
"What's the matter?" Chen Guan asked first.
Before Liu Feiyu could answer, two figures rapidly approached from both ends of the corridor.
What are you doing here?
Long Ao stood directly in front of Chen Guan, his tall figure separating him from Liu Feiyu. He crossed his arms and glared at the newcomer with hostility.
An Changqing walked to Chen Guan's side. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Liu Feiyu calmly, but his wariness was obvious.
The atmosphere in the dormitory corridor instantly became tense.
Liu Feiyu didn't even glance at Long Ao and An Changqing; his gaze remained fixed on Chen Guan.
"I'm not here to see you," Liu Feiyu said calmly.
He looked at the coffin and went straight to the point: "My elder brother, Liu Chengjun, should have already sent someone to contact you."
"Whatever promises he makes to you, I'll give you double."
Baal whistled in Chen Guan's mind: "Oh ho, the big one is here, and he's already started with the domineering CEO bidding process."
Long Ao frowned: "Liu Feiyu, what nonsense are you spouting?"
An Changqing's face also darkened. He stepped forward and said, "Student Liu, if you're here to provoke us, you've come to the wrong place."
Chen Guan looked at Liu Feiyu, his expression unchanged.
"I haven't received any contact."
These words caused a slight ripple in Liu Feiyu's previously calm eyes.
He paused for a moment, then realized what was going on, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips, as if he were laughing at his older brother.
It turns out that the eldest brother was unaware that the Azure Dragon Token had fallen into Chen Guan's hands.
Information asymmetry is opportunity.
"Is that so?" Liu Feiyu's tone softened, and she changed her strategy: "Then perhaps I've misunderstood."
He paused, leaned forward, and lowered his voice to a volume that only a few of them could hear.
"However, Chen Guan, I have already found out about the matter you asked me to investigate before."
Chen Guan's eyes flickered slightly; he knew what Liu Feiyu was referring to.
There are unnamed islands to the east, and endless seas of sand.
The nameless island is a private island under the Liu family's control, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out the inside story.
Liu Feiyu keenly noticed the change in his expression and knew that the bait she had thrown out had worked.
He regained his composure, knowing that today was not the right time to continue the conversation: "If you want to know the specifics, meet me on the rooftop tomorrow at noon."
He glanced at An Changqing and Long Ao beside him and added a sentence.
"I only want to talk to you."
After saying that, he turned around decisively and walked towards the stairwell without waiting for Chen Guan's reply.
The footsteps faded into the quiet corridor and soon disappeared.
Only Chen Guan, An Changqing, and Long Ao remained at the door.
A faint tension lingered in the air.
Long Ao stared in the direction Liu Feiyu had left, his face filled with wariness and displeasure: "That guy's been acting all mysterious, what tricks is he up to now?"
An Changqing didn't speak; he simply turned his head to look at Chen Guan, his brows furrowed with worry.
"What...was he talking about?"
Chen Guan looked at An Changqing and Long Ao, his tone calm.
"I have something to ask him."
Long Ao's brows furrowed even more.
"That guy is full of lies, what can you possibly get out of him?"
An Changqing's gaze fell on Chen Guan's face. He didn't ask what was wrong, but simply said softly, "Don't go, he's in danger."
"I know," Chen Guan said helplessly, "but I have to confirm what he mentioned."
The matter he was referring to was naturally the nameless island and the endless desert that Liu Feiyu had investigated.
An Changqing fell silent. He knew Chen Guan well; once he made a decision, it was difficult to dissuade him.
"Then be careful."
In the end, that was all he said.
After all, the location is still at the school, and in the school, which is like a newbie village, Chen Guan is basically invincible, unless a faculty member doesn't want their teaching certificate anymore.
"Contact me anytime if needed."
Long Ao added, his face still grim, but his worry was obvious.
Chen Guan nodded and turned to leave the dormitory.
He ignored the two concerned gazes behind him, and paid no attention to the figure carrying an axe in a corner outside the dormitory building.
The next day at noon, Chen Guan arrived at the rooftop of the teaching building on time.
The wind on the rooftop was very strong, making people's clothes flutter loudly.
Liu Feiyu was already waiting there, his back to the entrance, gazing at Huaqing Lake in the distance.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around.
Today, just like yesterday, he wore no extra adornments, and his eyes, which always carried a hint of cynicism, now held only the calm stillness of a lake.
This is completely different from the arrogant and domineering third young master of the Liu family.
"You've arrived."
Liu Feiyu spoke.
"I am coming."
Chen Guan walked to his side and followed his gaze into the distance.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
Instead of answering directly, Liu Feiyu raised a topic.
"Chen Guan, do you know what Nameless Island is?"
"The Liu family's private island."
"Yes, but not entirely."
"That island is ostensibly a private resort island, but secretly it's a dumping ground for dealing with historical problems."
Liu Feiyu immediately changed the subject, turned her head, and stared directly at him.
"My eldest brother, Ryu Seung-jun, who appears to be a gentle and refined, seemingly perfect heir to outsiders, is actually a ruthless madman."
He said this without any emotion, clearly indicating that he had wanted to say it for a long time.
"In order to seize the right of inheritance and for that broken Azure Dragon Token, he had long wanted us troublesome younger brothers to disappear."
"My second brother, Liu Xiao, is a cautionary tale. A few years ago, my eldest brother bribed the assassin She Shuyun to attack him overseas. If my second brother hadn't been lucky, the grass on his grave would be overgrown by now."
Baal clicked his tongue in his mental space: "Infighting within wealthy families is always so simple, unadorned, and bloody. Humans are truly terrifying."
Liu Feiyu let out a self-deprecating laugh: "I pretended to be a simple-minded fool in the academy just to lower his guard and make him think I was no threat, so that I could survive until now."
After listening quietly for so long, Chen Guan finally spoke.
