Novel Full Chapter 571: There Was Something Strange About It
“Alright, alright. Since both of you have spoken, of course we have to obey your orders.” Tao Manni nodded her head perfunctorily.
Yun Xiangxiang and Feng Xiaolu looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Tao Manni did not have any bad intentions. She just liked to say the opposite.
Tao Manni pulled Du Jing into the group chat. Zhu Yuan and Chu Ting, who were next door, sent a question mark one after another.
Yun Xiangxiang personally sent a welcome picture in the group chat and then left a message.
[Du Jing wants to study with us. In the future, everyone will encourage each other.]
With Yun Xiangxiang taking the lead, the others naturally responded one after another. It just so happened that everyone was in the group chat. Actually, it was all thanks to Yun Xiangxiang’s help that they were able to successfully complete their homework this time.
Yun Xiangxiang might not be as good as Yang Qi in the exams, but Yun Xiangxiang was better than Yang Qi in their hearts.
Although Yun Xiangxiang kept saying that it was because she had a private tutor, Yun Xiangxiang’s grades were there, not to mention that they were all her fans. The management of the support group put Yun Xiangxiang first.
At least at this moment,Du Jing had blended in. Yun Xiangxiang chatted with them in the group for a while and said that she had brought them gifts from the land of wine and flowers. Later, she asked Manni to send them to their dormitory. The boys were waiting downstairs.
Yun Xiangxiang bought a lot of things, so she couldn’t miss out on Du Jing’s gift. She also asked Tao Manni to send them over.
The new semester started just like that. Yun Xiangxiang took her classes as a break. The group chat was discussing how Yun Xiangxiang would celebrate her birthday. Last year, Yun Xiangxiang had treated them to a delicious roast duck. Should they still go there this year?
Yun Xiangxiang refused immediately, saying that she had already made an appointment with her friends who had not gathered together for a long time this year.
This year was different from last year. Yun Xiangxiang’s fame had spread through “The King’s plan,” “First Love,” and “Jiu Se.”
Now, there were even more media outlets that had their eyes on her. It could be seen from the number of reporters waiting at the school gate.
It was even more difficult to have a meal with one’s classmates outside the school.
“Then let’s book a small restaurant in the school and have a meal together,” Ma Linlin suggested.
Yun Xiangxiang thought about it for a moment. “I’ll take a look at it at the end of the month. I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
Everyone knew that Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mean to decline. If she was still in a difficult position, then forget it. She happily changed the topic. “Xiangxiang, have you seen Shi Youxuan?”
“I haven’t seen her in the past two days. What’s wrong?”Yun Xiangxiang was a little curious. Why did they suddenly mention Shi Youxuan.
“Her entire person has changed.” Ma Linlin frowned. “She has just transferred to our school last semester. She was so radiant, and now…”
“She’s ugly now?” Yun Xiangxiang last saw Shi Youxuan in December. Although she was a little haggard, she was still very beautiful.
“It’s not that she’s ugly, it’s that her whole body has become gloomy. Her bright and beautiful self-confidence has disappeared all of a sudden, as if she had suffered a great blow. Those who like her in school are all discussing whether or not her family has suffered a major change,” Tao Manni said.
Yun Xiangxiang thought about the matter of the Shi family. The change was very big, but it was not painful for Shi Youxuan. Shi Youxuan had been so confident in coming to her for cooperation during the preliminaries, but later in the finals, she had changed.
Yun Xiangxiang felt that it had something to do with this matter. She told Song Mian about It, and Song Mian replied that he was going to investigate, but there was no follow-up.
So that night, when Yun Xiangxiang was chatting with Song Mian, she asked, “Did you investigate the incident with Shi Youxuan?”
“I did. In order to get the Shi family’s approval, she became someone else’s lover.” This kind of consensual thing was not honorable, and Song Mian did not want to tell Yun Xiangxiang, which would taint Yun Xiangxiang’s ears.
To be able to influence old man Shi and make Shi Youxuan his lover, her status must be extraordinary.
Could it be that she was schemed against and since it had already happened… she might as well give up and take some benefits back. However, she did not achieve what she wanted, which was why she was depressed?
“Then, when she reminded me last time, did you find out that she was obviously threatened by someone?” Yun Xiangxiang continued to ask.
“The people she was trying to get close to didn’t have much interaction with me, and they wouldn’t attack me, either. I asked Song Yao to send someone to follow her for more than a month, but I didn’t find anyone spying on her,” Song Mian answered Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang heard this and frowned. “I don’t think it makes sense. I saw Shi Youxuan today, and she didn’t seem to be acting.”
Shi Youxuan’s aura had changed. Her entire body was gloomy. In just a few months, she was able to change a person so completely. It was as if she had experienced hell on Earth.
“Don’t frown,” Song Mian said in a low voice. “If you’re so worried, I’ll continue to send people to follow her.”
He had a lot of people under him. If he could make Yun Xiangxiang feel at ease, he would send someone to monitor Shi Youxuan for a long time.
Yun Xiangxiang nodded. “We have to be careful. There’s something strange about her.”
Shi Youxuan came to her and said that she knew a secret that was related to Song Mian. No one else knew about it.
Then, Shi Youxuan became more and more haggard. After hearing what Tao Manni and the others said at school, Yun Xiangxiang deliberately went to look at Shi Youxuan from afar. Shi Youxuan was even more depressed than the last time they met, and she was a little dazed when she walked.
“Okay, I will definitely take my girlfriend’s repeated reminders to heart,” Song Mian answered with a smile.
“How are things on your side?” Yun Xiangxiang did not continue this topic.
“Almost done. I predict that today or tomorrow, Lucifer will think of a way to sneak in.” The corner of Song Mian’s lips curled up.
He had already passed the news of the infectious disease to Lucifer’s eyes and ears. With Lucifer’s intelligence, he would definitely think that the infectious disease was his handiwork. He would not sit by and watch the tribal people hand the witness over to Song Mian.
“Will he… kill him to silence him?” Yun Xiangxiang was still worried that he would go all out.
“That would be best, so that I don’t have to torture him to get a confession.” Song Mian was more than happy to do so.
Since this person could gain Old Gus’ trust, he would definitely keep his mouth shut. It would not be easy to pry something out of him.
If Lucifer made a move, it would be easy. Who would not want to live? They didn’t need to do anything. This guy would naturally come to them with evidence and ask for protection.
However, Song Mian knew that Lucifer wouldn’t do that—if Song Mian was here, Lucifer could be saved by Song Mian unless he was killed in one strike. Even if he didn’t save Lucifer, he could at least buy a few minutes to catch his breath, which would be enough to give out information that would be detrimental to the Gus family.
“Didn’t he want to use you to make things difficult for his father? Isn’t this the best opportunity?” Forcing the other party toward Song Mian would achieve his goal.
