After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Where did you learn your acting skills?

The Oscars owe you a golden statuette.

Chu Daoyun rose from her chair and continued speaking to Zhou Yan in a gentle and well-mannered manner.

"Junior Zhou, you're the first person to discover the curse on Junior Lin, right? Just to be on the safe side, could you take me to Junior Lin's room?"

“I feel like I can discover something from that place.”

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan began to consider whether he could bear the consequences of revealing Chu Daoyun's curse.

"Hey, Junior Zhou, you don't want to?"

Seeing that Zhou Yan remained silent, Chu Daoyun asked again.

Leng Qing, the ginseng spirit, and Lin Anru all turned their gazes to the side. Lin Anru, being simple-minded, didn't think anything of it. The ginseng spirit, Song Qing'e, was very naive. The girl asked in a soft voice.

"Brother, aren't you going with Sister Chu?"

Only Leng Qing's expression changed slightly, and the way she looked at Zhou Yan was no longer right.

Zhou Yan guessed that Leng Qing, with her sharp mind, was starting to suspect that he was the one who had cast the curse, and that his current state was indeed not right.

Zhou Yanqiang laughed.

"Of course, no problem."

Chu Daoyun slowly walked towards the ICU entrance.

"Junior, I'll take you back."

Chu Daoyun left the ICU ward, and Zhou Yan was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave. Leng Qing was still behind Zhou Yan, asking him questions.

"Since Miss Chu is willing to help, why don't you go, junior?"

Zhou Yan turned around, his cold expression unusually cold.

It's not that Leng Qing is cold-hearted or heartless. If Zhou Yan put himself in Leng Qing's shoes, imagine if one of his junior classmates was cursed and no one could break the curse, and suddenly a powerful figure came along, helped break the curse, and then said he wanted to investigate the mastermind behind the curse.

Just then, the kind-hearted junior who had been following and helping the victim suddenly hesitated, looked strange, and seemed lost.

Zhou Yan estimated that he was at least 50% sure he suspected that this junior might be connected to the mastermind behind the scenes, or even be the mastermind himself.

The most frustrating thing is that explaining the truth to Leng Qing at this point is useless.

Chu Daoyun came out of kindness to break the curse, and you call her the murderer...

Putting aside the question of where your argument came from (Zhou Yan couldn't find any evidence to support his argument, and he couldn't very well say that he overheard something without any corroborating evidence), just saying that makes people suspicious of your intentions.

For the first time in his life, Zhou Yan understood the true meaning of the saying, "Knowing too much is not a good thing."

Despite his headache, Zhou Yan still had to get things done. He gritted his teeth and followed Chu Daoyun out of the ICU ward. The two of them went down to the inpatient department one after the other and arrived at the luxury car parked below the inpatient department.

Chu Daoyun opened the back door of the luxury car, got in, and sat in the innermost seat.

Zhou Yan wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but Chu Daoyun patted the seat next to her and said softly.

"Junior, I have a few more questions to ask. Let's not waste time and talk as we walk."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Oh well, we're already on this mess.

Zhou Yan walked to the seat next to Chu Daoyun and sat down, closing the car door behind him.

The female driver, sitting in the driver's seat, frowned as she looked at Zhou Yan and Chu Daoyun in the back seat.

Doesn't our own Jiufeng have androphobia?

Don't men feel uncomfortable when they get close?

Zhou Yan is now sitting within half a meter of Jiu Feng, so why does Jiu Feng still look so calm?

The female driver sensed something was wrong, and this made her feel a strong sense of crisis.

It's standard practice for the four schools to poach each other's students. Every year, the four schools will recruit some elite students from each other's schools. But Jiu Feng is different from the normal elite students. If this girl is poached, the female driver thinks that Bai Hu will explode and everyone on her side will be devoured by Bai Hu's wrath.

Of course, if we think more openly and broadly, is it possible that Zhou Yan, the seemingly normal boy sitting next to Jiu Feng, is actually a tomboy who doesn't have a penis?

"Aunt Zhang, please take us back."

"OK, all right."

While driving, the female driver secretly glanced at Zhou Yan through the rearview mirror. Zhou Yan's features were quite ordinary, neither good-looking nor bad-looking, the kind that you wouldn't be able to tell who was who if you left him on the road.

People with short hair are boys, so why can't people with long hair be girls?

The female driver looked down along Zhou Yan's neck, trying to find some feminine curves in him to relieve her stress.

back seat.

Chu Daoyun tilted her head and asked.

"Okay, junior, tell me again how you found out about the junior girl."

Zhou Yan then recounted how he received the call from Lin Anru and how he rescued the person.

Chu Daoyun listened while looking at Zhou Yan.

Perhaps it was because she had been alone for too long, or perhaps it was because she had been living online for so long, but Chu Daoyun suddenly found it quite interesting to chat with someone and watch others talk.

Especially since I quite like this person myself.

"...That's the gist of it."

Zhou Yan looked at Chu Daoyun, whose face showed a slightly solemn expression, with amusement.

The Oscar-winning actress asked the question without any flaws.

"Has Lin, your junior, been dealing with anyone lately, hmm, someone she doesn't get along with?"

It's perfectly normal to think about the person you're at odds with first when something happens to you.

Zhou Yan's mind raced, and he immediately burst out laughing.

"Probably."

Zhou Yan pointed to himself.

"I."

It had been less than a month since Zhou Yan and Lin Anru fought at the Vermilion Bird Academy, and Zhou Yan almost killed Lin Anru back then.

Damn, thinking about it this way, it seems like there's even more evidence to support the idea that I'm the murderer.

Chu Daoyun shook her head.

"You're not that kind of person."

Nonsense, you're that kind of person.

Chu Daoyun shifted her buttocks slightly toward Zhou Yan, and perhaps because of the movement, Zhou Yan smelled an extremely delicate and elegant fragrance of a young girl entering his nostrils.

If Chu Daoyun weren't so wicked, Zhou Yan would have thought the fragrance was quite pleasant, which would have given the user a slightly better impression.

"Besides you, junior, are there any other people who don't get along with the junior?"

"I do not know."

Lin Anru was always loud and boisterous, and Zhou Yan had never heard her mention any grudges she hadn't settled.

"That……"

Chu Daoyun was already ten centimeters away from Zhou Yan. The girl wanted to lean down and rest her head on Zhou Yan's shoulder, but she was too reserved to do so.

"Junior, do you know who benefits the most after the junior girl's accident?"

There's a rule in any crime: who benefits the most from the victim's death is the most likely suspect.

Zhou Yan smiled wryly.

"I'm not very familiar with Lin Anru, and I don't know much about her interpersonal relationships."

Chu Daoyun's eyes lit up. So Zhou Yan and that Lin Anru didn't have much of a relationship?

This...is wonderful...

The driver, who was driving, suddenly sneered and spoke up.

“When I was still studying at White Tiger Academy, a few students started a 'Nu-tou club' that specialized in seducing married women and men. I was familiar with their club leader, who told me that when they were seducing people of different genders, they found that women were more loyal to their partners, disliked men getting close, and were even wary of how a man got her phone number or how he found her.”

"Men are much worse. As soon as a beautiful woman approaches them, most of them won't admit that they have a wife and family, and they are very enthusiastic about having some intimate contact with women."

The driver was clearly mocking Zhou Yan for saying to Chu Daoyun that he had no connection with Lin Anru.

Chu Daoyun said somewhat displeased.

"Aunt Zhang, don't talk while driving, it's easy to cause a car accident."

The driver grunted and fell silent.

……

The corridor outside the ICU ward at the Red Cross Hospital.

Leng Qing stood behind the window in the corridor, watching Zhou Yan and Chu Daoyun leave.

Zhou Yan's attitude just now was very abnormal.

Leng Qing had noticed that Zhou Yan had been taking good care of Lin Anru these past few days, and she expressed her regret over Lin Anru's current condition.

But when Chu Daoyun arrived and treated Lin Anru, Zhou Yan's expression started to look off. Even when they were investigating the target of the curse, Zhou Yan's expression became increasingly strange.

This is not right; it's gotten to an abnormal level.

After Zhou Yan left, Leng Qing investigated the relationship between Zhou Yan and Lin Anru and found that the two had no conflicts. In fact, Zhou Yan treated Lin Anru quite well.

There was no conflict of interest between the two sides.

So, if Zhou Yan is the mastermind behind this curse, why would he do such a thing?

Leng Qing watched as the vehicle carrying Zhou Yan and Chu Daoyun disappeared at the bend in the road outside the hospital.

After thinking for a long time, Leng Qing took out her phone and dialed Zhu Que's number.

The Vermilion Bird's voice rang out.

"It's about Xiao An, right? I already know. I'll buy some gifts to thank Chu Daoyun later."

Leng Qing took a breath and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Suzaku, this isn't just about Lin Anru. I have some thoughts I'd like to share with you. These thoughts may not be correct, but I have to say them."

"Hmm, what's on your mind? Wait a minute..."

Zhuque hung up the phone and then sent a WeChat message to Leng Qing.

Zhuque: Use WeChat to chat, don't use the phone.

Zhuque was afraid that Zhou Yan was eavesdropping. Eavesdropping wasn't the worst thing; what she feared was that Zhou Yan would hear something inappropriate, act impulsively in the heat of the moment, and then she would have to clean up the mess herself.

That stinky monkey has such a bad temper.

Leng Qing's expression changed, and a strange thought appeared in her mind.

Don't use the phone...

Leng Qing shook her head, clearing her mind of distractions, and closed her eyes again. The image of Zhou Yan taking care of Lin Anru earlier intertwined with the image of Zhou Yan's strange expression just now.

Then I sent a WeChat message.

Leng Qing: Lord Zhuque, let me say it again, this is just my opinion, and it may not be correct. Just now, when Chu Daoyun was treating Lin Xuemei, Zhou Xuedi stood on the side with a very strange expression on his face. Especially when Chu Daoyun invited Zhou Xuedi to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhou Xuedi showed great reluctance.

That's quite a statement, Suzaku replied, sounding puzzled.

Suzaku: Are you sure? You can't just talk nonsense about this.

Leng Qing continued posting.

Leng Qing: At least that's how I appear...

This time, Suzaku remained silent for a while.

Zhuque: So what's the purpose? Does Zhou Yan really dislike Lin Anru?
