After the esteed Dean Yan died, the major dia outlets blew up, practically roping everyone in for a month-long morial service in spirit. Anyone who hadnt heard of him before that was sure to have by the ti they were through.
Now, this dean had co back to life without any warning whatsoever. And the press
They didnt just blow up, not this ti. They went completely batshit crazy.
After all, everyone dies eventually. But not many could goddamnrise from the dead.
The first to lose their mind was the reporter Bens from Honeycomb dia.
When the article he wrote went live, the attention skyrocketed to fever pitch. The author himself, Bens, was still shaken with thoughts of Where did I go! Who did I see! What thehelldid I say!, and his boss was on cloud nine.
He pushed Bens to contact Yan Suizhi with great zeal, expressing his excitent and gratitude in a volu that could be heard halfway across the mountain. Did you know, Dean Yan! Weve never ever seen so much traffic on our website since our founding!! Hahahahahaha
Yan Suizhi had just returned to the city garden.
He was trying to change out of his shoes at the door, only to be cursed with a headache from the booming voice. He took off the earpiece and set it on the stand next to him, not listening to a word of the gibberish that followed.
He took his ti putting on his slippers, took off his coat, hung it on a clothes rack, then unfastened the buttons on his shirt cuffs, folding them twice. Figuring it was ti for the other man to catch his breath, he wore the earpiece again and said politely, I hear you. Congratulations.
Next to him, Gu Yan turned a wooden face over when he heard this lie.
Yan Suizhi was positively tickled by his I see the nonsense youre spouting look, a smile spreading at the corners of his lips.
With that smile, he told Honeycomb dias boss, If thats the case, then I advise you to employ a few more technicians on standby for ergencies.
He wasnt soone who liked to exert himself when speaking. Moreover, he was still recovering from serious illness, so his voice was mild, not loud enough.
Or maybe the boss of Honeycomb dia was high as a kite and didnt catch him at all. He went uh-huh, uh-huh before dissolving into laughter again, saying, Its really big news! No! More than big! Its going to blow up!
Yan Suizhi, shaken by his booming voice again, finally couldnt restrain himself, saying politely, Let it blow up, then.
Not long after the call, Honeycomb dia literally blew up.
Blew up because of the crowd squeezing into the bandwidth.
The second one to go mad was Bens himself.
Since Honeycomb dias server crashed, people who wanted to find out more started to badger him for information. Colleagues, friends, family, as well as strangers that he didnt even know, which made him deeply regret having left his contact number online.
He didnt last long before sending weepy-faces over text to the esteed dean.
[My smart device has been vibrating like a massage bracelet for two whole hours. Two hours. Non-stop.] and [I was wrong. I should never have doubted your ability to break the news. Ive never seen such craziness in my entire life.]
After forever, the other party replied:
[Youre welco. Ill rember to collect the two heads on a pike that you and your little disciple owe .]
Bens,
Lfgrfs, Qts jw P lcmievfv?
Bens couldnt hold it in: [How are you so calm? Shouldnt you be the person receiving the brunt of the harassnt?]

Is the news accurate? Are you certain thats all that has been ntioned? he asked with a frown.
Just that. The reporter isnt anyone famous, so I reckon its his first ti facing such a scene. Ive had a few people discreetly ask questions. He didnt ntion any of it, not the law firm nor the Man big bosses. Not only did he not talk about it, the reporter was lost. He didnt see any connection to these affairs.
Mr Gao touched his chin in thought. If the reporter doesnt have skill in acting, then he might really not know.
What acting skills would a reporter have to speak of. Besides, I checked. That guy is a very brusque guy. If he sucks up it would co off patronising instead, its all written on his face.
Mr Gao nodded slowly, tapping his fingers on the table. If the not-dead guy really uncovered anything and wanted to blow it up big, he would have imdiately alerted the press. After all, the dia attention is always highest at the outset. One would throw down a bait first to invite scrutiny, then strike while the iron is hot.
Yeah, exactly. Since he isnt saying anything, can we presu that hes still in the dark? Or maybe he doesnt know enoughat least, that he hasnt worked out about us and the big bosses?
Its hard to say. Lets wait and see what happens first in the next two days.
Wait and see? Are you not going to deal with it? What if the dean doesnt just sit back but does a little sothing?
What can he do? Youd draw attention to yourself if you jump out now. Dont be rash. As for the dean he wouldnt be able to concern himself with much else for the next two days. Everyone has eyes on him. That keeps him safe, yes, but it also stops him from doing anything. Besides right now, he should be getting harassed so badly that Im sure his smart device has frozen. His hand is probably dropping off from all the communication requests he is receiving.
Hahahaha, thats for sure!
These people were in the mindset of watching a good show, waiting for Yan Suizhi to go crazy with the bombardnt.
However, in the villa where the storm should have struck the hardest, Yan Suizhi was currently lounging on the sofa, ssaging Bens: [Thank you for the concern, but I dont have such troubles.]
[Bens: What?!! How can that be??! Im already receiving this level of harassnt, so how can you be fine??! Your contact details are listed on Maze University website!]
[Yan Suizhi: Oh.]
[Yan Suizhi: But what Im using now is my internship contact number.]
Bens,
Before the reporter could catch a break, Yan Suizhi sent him another ssage: [Right. How long is your respectable website going to take a ti-out for?]
Bens,
Such words could anger his boss to an early grave.
He gave it a thought before replying: [Tech is on it. It should be up soon.]
[Yan Suizhi: When it is up and running again, please help
put out another article. Highlight that I am not yet legally reinstated and am still affiliated with Southcross Law Firm.]
[Bens: Why do you want to highlight this?]
When Yan Suizhi received this ssage, he extended his palm to Gu Yan. O distinguished lawyer, let
requisition your smart device.
What are you planning to do? Knowing him well, Gu Yan asked with raised brows.
But no matter, he still slid his smart device off his little finger, placing it on Yan Suizhis palm.
Its nothing much, Just giving so people things to be busy with. Yan Suizhi worked his smart device with nonchalant ease. Co here, let
requisition your finger.
Gu Yan, about to go pour so coffee, sat next to him when he heard this, resting one hand on the sofa behind him while dutifully offering him his hand.
Yan Suizhi tapped the fingerprint authentication interface against his finger.
Beep, it was unlocked.
Your eye, as well. He waved the interface that required iris authentication before Gu Yans face.
Beep, it was further unlocked.
These successive beeps scratched at Lawyer Gus heart. Or maybe it was piqued by a certain deans little antics, natural as can be.
He watched Yan Suizhis fingers briskly change the call and ssage settings, lifted his chin with a finger, and leaned down to kiss him.
Yan Suizhis fingers hovered as he responded to the kiss, then patted his cheek. Your teacher is doing serious business, dont make trouble.
At this, Gu Yan softly ran a finger over his lips, and then kissed him a little more.
Yan Suizhi had set Gu Yans smart device to automatically screen all communications except for a few important people. He didnt stop at just that; he also added an automatic reply.
So, anyone who tried to contact Yan Suizhi would receive these two responses.
Reaching Dean Yan would prompt:This number has been cancelled.
After coming around and attempting to reach Gu Yan instead, their communication requests would be rejected, and they would receive the automatic ssage:Sorry, I am busy at the mont. If its a work-related matter, please contact Southcross Law Firm.
While fretting over the lack of ans to get in touch, they would see a new article on Honeycomb dia andsuddenlyrember that Yan Suizhi was working at Southcross Law Firm now.
In any case, the end result was that the people at the eye of the storm would be gladly left in peace.
And Southcross was the one that would end up on its knees, crying.
Mr Gao and a host of partners associated with the Mansons almost collapsed, caught completely unawares by the deluge of calls and emails.
Miss Fitz roasted manically, I strongly suspect that every human being on the alliance has added Southcross to their contact list.
Gu Yan, as Yan Suizhis co-conspirator by default, expressed the concern of a friend to Fitz, Are you in office? How many calls have you received today?
Miss Fitz said, No, I called in sick today. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Though they eliminated avenues for harassnt, Yan Suizhis smart device was not undisturbed.
Bens article went up in the morning, and around midday his smart device started to see frequent quakes.
The vibrations were notifications from a group chat called Southcross Interns Gossip Squad with Luke and the others. Given that Yan Suizhi ghosted the group 99% of the ti, it created an illusion that he wasnt in the group at all.
And so during lunch break, the interns who had been holding it in all morning acted like they had sniffed dope, going high on line.
An assortnt of kowtowing sticker emotes and hundreds of exclamation marks spamd the screen.
The mont Yan Suizhi opened the chat, this mayhem was slung into his face, furthermore, he could vaguely glimpse god knows how many Ruan Ye and the dean mixed within.
He pulled the screen away from him, letting his eyes rest for a mont, then on an impulse, cut in:
[Ladies, gentlen. Have you forgotten that Im still in the group?]
This one sentence successfully silenced all the little fools, as if soone hit the pause button on this group chat, freezing instantaneously.
Having watched the whole process from the byline, Gu Yan, in good conscience, took away the dean who was enacting a ghost story, keeping his smart device and temporarily clearing a way out for these little fools.
The whole alliance seethed with excitent for the most part of the day. In the afternoon, soone else hopped onto the bandwagon, coming out to impart their wisdom.
They questioned the authenticity of Yan Suizhis identity. After all, nowadays, with advancents in genetic technology, it was within the realm of possibility to revive soone appearance-wise. Various tabloids even speculated making the perfect get-away from a cri with this technology.
In short, soone nitpicked the veracity of the news from tip to toe, then concluded by bluntly branding Yan Suizhi as a copycat.
Yan Suizhi comnded the article after seeing it. Thats quite inventive.
Then, he leisurely got ready to leave the house.
The first place that he was going to visit was the Probate Office.
