"What is going on?"
Qin Chuan sensed sothing amiss.
He felt that Su Qian wasn't returning to ask her father for help, but it felt more like a farewell.
"Qianqian might be going back to that ho," Ye Wenxi speculated, her face full of concern.
"Which ho?" Qin Chuan was puzzled.
"Her father's ho." Ye Wenxi finished, becoming quietly sorrowful.
Ye Wenxi knew a bit about Su Qian's family situation.
Her mother was a rural woman who, despite family opposition, followed her father to the city to strive when she was young.
Unexpectedly, her father caught the eye of a wealthy heiress.
In the end, her father married the heiress, while Su Qian's mother, who was already pregnant, beca the mistress kept outside by her father.
Despite her father secretly supporting the mother and her daughter all along.
Yet, the label of mistress weighed heavily on Su Qian's mother.
Su Qian also faced much social disdain as a child.
Initially, Su Qian assud life would continue this way—she just had to wait until she ca of age, graduated college, and beca independent to break free from it all.
But fate played a cruel joke on her.
One day, her father, whom she'd never t, suddenly showed up.
The unexpected attention made Su Qian happy for quite a while.
However, it turned out that her father considered her rely as a trade commodity, sacrificing her happiness to gain a transaction.
Although Qin Chuan's appearance disrupted this plan.
Now, surprisingly, Su Qian's father wanted to bring her back to that ho.
Although Su Qian was trying hard to hide her inner anxiety, as her best friend, Ye Wenxi sensed sothing unusual.
Su Qian's father wouldn't just casually say he wants to bring her ho.
After all, that woman was also ho.
Strictly speaking, Su Qian's father was subservient; he couldn't make major household decisions.
Her return was obviously agreed upon by that woman.
Who would let the daughter of a mistress into their ho?
Thus, Ye Wenxi was very worried but powerless.
After hearing Ye Wenxi's analysis, Qin Chuan felt uncomfortable; Su Qian was going back for his sake.
"Brother Chuan, Qianqian asked to keep an eye on you, and to make sure you don't impulsively go looking for her."
Ye Wenxi hesitated: "But, is there really no other way?"
Torn between her best friend and the man she loved.
Ye Wenxi's heart was full of turmoil.
Couldn't there be a win-win resolution?
She didn't want to lose anyone.
"Let figure it out."
Qin Chuan rubbed his tense forehead; he only knew Su Qian's father was with the Silver Fox Comrce Association, but was clueless about his identity or residence.
To uncover what transaction Su Qian had made with her father and how to help her out of this, required careful planning.
Thinking this through, Qin Chuan took out his phone and called Jiang Banxia's secretary Li Qinyi.
"Hello... hello, why are you calling suddenly?" Li Qinyi was surprised by the call from Qin Chuan.
She instinctively thought Jiang Banxia had said sothing to Qin Chuan, and now Qin Chuan was after her.
Li Qinyi felt panicked but couldn't stop it.
Even if Qin Chuan called her and gave her a room number, she'd have to go in honestly and serve him well.
"Sorry if I'm bothering you," Qin Chuan responded politely.
"No, no, what's the matter?" Li Qinyi's tone was slightly tense.
However, Qin Chuan couldn't indulge in small talk and directly said, "A friend of mine might be in trouble; I need your help to look into it..."
Qin Chuan quickly shared Su Qian's information with Li Qinyi and included Feng Xiyang's na, hoping she could investigate soon.
"Alright, alright, no problem, I'll have soone check it out imdiately."
Li Qinyi sighed in relief and timidly asked, "Besides this, do you, do you have anything else?"
After asking, she barely dared breathe, like a convict awaiting judgnt.
"That's all; I'll treat you to a al one day to thank you," Qin Chuan replied gratefully.
After the call, Li Qinyi let out a long breath, her heart finally easing.
She had thought she'd lose herself today.
Grumbling a bit about Qin Chuan, thinking he was too hasty.
Fortunately, it was just her overthinking.
Li Qinyi patted her cheeks, trying to clear away her silly thoughts, and promptly sent people to gather information on Su Qian.
The following morning, Qin Chuan and Ye Wenxi returned to school.
What they worried about happened; Su Qian took a leave of absence and didn't co to class.
As for the reason, even Ye Wenxi, as her best friend, couldn't find out.
The school keeps student leave information confidential, in normal cases not leaking to other students.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan was sowhat connected.
So, he headed straight for the administrative building to ask Jian Ya for help.
But as he arrived at the building's entrance, a Maybach drove up.
Soon, Feng Xiyang appeared before Qin Chuan.
"What a coincidence, Qin Chuan, we et again." Feng Xiyang smirked, veiling a hint of mockery in his words.
Qin Chuan frowned, expressionless: "Where is Su Qian? What have you done to her?"
"Qin Chuan, Miss Su's whereabouts seem unrelated to you, don't they?"
Feng Xiyang sneered, "In what capacity are you inquiring about Miss Su? Why should I tell you?"
Qin Chuan's fist clenched.
Seeing this, Feng Xiyang was unfazed: "Qin Chuan, causing a disturbance can lead to prison."
As the saying goes, you must know who the owner is before hitting a dog.
Feng Xiyang was a mber of the Silver Fox Comrce Association.
If Qin Chuan, just a student, hit him, even if the Silver Fox Comrce Association didn't resort to underworld tactics, the legal system alone could land Qin Chuan in jail.
"Your fists are hard, but can they stop a bullet?"
Feng Xiyang's face mocked, brandishing a docunt: "Focus on your studies, don't think about Miss Su. I'm here to handle her withdrawal process; in three days, she'll be going abroad."
Witnessing Feng Xiyang's arrogant deanor, Qin Chuan instantly launched three silver needles forward.
In a flash, the needles sliced through the air like lightning, stabbing into Feng Xiyang's legs and neck at lightning speed.
Qin Chuan walked towards him expressionless: "While it can't stop bullets, why wouldn't it deal with you?"
