Chapter 561: 270 Unsolved (Second Revision)
At that moment, a scream erupted from within the dormitory.
The other two roommates as well as Li Tingting were all present, and they all gave her a disdainful glance.
Li Tingting sneered, âWhatâs gotten into you?â
Lan Huixin slapped her own leg viciously, causing her to gasp from the pain.
âIâm not dreaming!â
Lan Huixinâs eyes wandered over to the other three, who were all staring at her as if she were an idiot. The words that Lan Huixin had intended to blurt out were immediately swallowed back down.
At this time, she got a call from Qing Zheng, arranged a meeting place, and jumped out of bed cheerfully. After spending ten minutes getting ready, she left the room with a bang.
âWhatâs wrong with her?â one of the roommates asked.
âShe must have gotten some resources. I was even more excited than her when I first got a part in a play,â another roommate answered.
Li Tingtingâs eyebrows furrowed as she thought about the audition the day before, and she couldnât help but feel a sense of dread.
No way.
âMaybe sheâs on some rich guyâs payroll now. I even saw an old man driving her back yesterday,â Li Tingting pretended to casually mention.
âSo it seems that even our unyielding, aloof campus beauty can no longer resist temptation,â Roommate One said with a hint of mockery.
âWho would bother to take the long way if theyâve found a shortcut? She wonât be putting on such an arrogant face anymore,â Roommate Two chimed in.
Li Tingtingâs lips curved into a satisfied smile.

âBrother Zheng, Iâm sorry Iâm late,â Lan Huixin had thought Brother Zheng would be quite handsome, but the real person was a bit disappointing.
He was average-looking, but his eyes were quite striking.
Zheng Qing pushed a contract towards her, âTake a look at the contract. If thereâs no problem, go ahead and sign.â
Lan Huixin flipped directly to the last page and signed her name.
Zheng Qing raised an eyebrow, âArenât you going to read the terms? Arenât you afraid Iâll sell you?â
Little girl was just too naive.
Lan Huixin laughed, âBecause I trust Ming Jing. She would never harm me.â
After signing her name, Lan Huixin started reading the contract from the first page, and her eyes widened in shock.
What kind of feng shui did Baitou Mountainâs Jiyue Temple have to produce such monsters one after another?
Ye Zhen laughed, âDid those previous Lady Yuâs have any acting background?â
None of the previous Lady Yuâs graduated from professional schools. Guan Qing was even more exaggerated. She was discovered by Yu Dawei at a convenience store, and he made her star in a movie. Who wouldâve thought that a high school dropout and a supermarket cashier could later become a grand slam actress?
Yu Daweiâs standards for choosing people were incomprehensible and he didnât look for acting skills. He himself was the best acting teacher, able to sculpt even wooden materials.
Zheng Qing didnât dwell on this and changed the topic, âDid Liang Yanran tell you in her dreams where Xue An, the grandson, was hiding?â
She usually wouldnât discuss superstitions, but she couldnât completely dismiss them either.
Since Liang Xiaohong was arrested, Xue An disappeared from public view.
It was said that the last time he was seen was on the night Liang Xiaohong was arrested, at Chaoâan District Police Station. After he was released on bail, no one ever saw him again.
Zheng Qing studied him for a long time. Xue An had many unresolved mysteries, not only Liang Yanranâs death, but perhaps even more secrets.
For example, his first love from twelve years ago. Zheng Qing pondered for a long time; the methods in this case reminded her of something familiar.
She was now trying to find the hidden hand behind Xue Anâs capital by analyzing him. Maybe this hidden hand was related to the incident from twelve years ago...
Zheng Qingâs mind suddenly reeled, again twelve years ago, was it really such a coincidence?
The day Xue An apologized on Weibo was the twelfth of December, eleven years ago.
The day she saw A Yuâs body was the twentieth of December.
That year in Jingzhou, there was rarely heavy snowfall, the world was dressed in silver. Heaven knew that she loved snow and it was as if it was sending her off.
Since returning from abroad, they were assigned separate undercover missions.
At that time, the entertainment industry was embroiled in a money laundering case with far-reaching implications. She disguised herself as Zheng Qing and infiltrated the entertainment circle, uprooting the crime after two years. As for where A Yu went, she didnât know, only vaguely aware that A Yuâs mission was several times more dangerous than hers.
For two years, they had no contact with each other, as that was the organizationâs rule that no one dared to break.
Before A Yu left, she told her that she had made a deal with Night Hawk. After completing this mission, she would leave the organization and live a free life.
Ultimately, she didnât gain freedom; her life was forever frozen at the age of twenty-four.
She always thought it was Night Hawk abandoning her; people with no value could only meet a dead end.
Now that she thought about it, things back then might not have been so simple.
In Xue Anâs timeline, he took care of a girl for half a year. This timeframe coincided with when A Yu was injured.
A Yu returned, blood-covered, having succeeded in her mission but nearly losing her life.
At the time, she was entangled with a big boss and couldnât take care of A Yu. When she returned again, she was faced with A Yuâs corpse.
Xue An... Zheng Qing mulled over this name, clenching her fists, and her eyes darkened.
