Let's talk about this later.

Shen Qian interrupted him with a wave of his hand, then told Li Jiaqi to rest well and return to fulfill her duties as class monitor as soon as possible.

He glanced one last time at the pale-faced students on the hospital beds, then slumped forward and walked through the crowd, leaving the school clinic.

Zhao Keyi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What does Shen Qian mean by this... a refusal?" Ye Shicong frowned deeply.

"He wouldn't get upset just because of a few comments from others, would he?" Geng Qianqiu couldn't quite understand either.

The surrounding whispers and pointing noises grew louder, probably because they hadn't expected Shen Qian to simply "turn away."

“Junior Shen Qian doesn’t seem like that kind of person.” Feng Manlin’s beautiful eyes also showed doubt.

"I think something interesting is about to happen."

Qu Bai smiled meaningfully.

...

After leaving the school clinic and reaching a secluded spot, Shen Qian took out his bracelet and called Wan Ning.

"Mr. Shen." Soon, a familiar, pleasant voice came from the other end.

"Help me investigate something: the Dongri Arena in the Psionic Market. Find out if they have any connection with Su Kewu University."

After much thought, Shen Qian concluded that if this matter had any connection to him, it could only be related to this aspect.

After all, he had only been in Jiangzhong for a short time and hadn't actually done much.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qian thought for a moment, then turned and headed towards the South Campus.

A moment later, he arrived at South Second District.

This area also features detached villas, each with its own private swimming pool, but it is more luxurious and secluded than the villa in the South Seventh District where Shen Qian lived.

This is the living area for the mentors.

After registering with the dormitory manager, Shen went straight to Villa No. 16 and rang the doorbell.

There was no response, but a few seconds later, the door opened automatically.

Shen Qian walked straight in and finally found the graceful figure reclining in a rocking chair, sipping red wine and basking in the sun in the garden.

"Why are you looking for your beautiful second senior sister?"

Cheng Qingqing turned her head and asked lazily.

However, Shen Qian did not notice that a hint of nervousness flashed across her eyes.

After that inexplicable incident that day, the two never contacted each other again, nor did they ever meet again.

However, driven by some unspoken understanding, Shen Qian did not show any abnormality, but simply smiled and said, "Second Senior Sister seems to have opened a bottle of good wine. I passed by and smelled the aroma of the wine, so I couldn't help but knock on the door."

"Are you sure it's not because of my body odor?"

Cheng Qingqing breathed a silent sigh of relief, smiled charmingly, and then patted the seat next to her. "Come on, have a taste. This was a rare and precious wine before the cataclysm."

Shen Qian curiously poured himself a glass of the red wine called "La Romanee-Conti," then smacked his lips and tasted it.

...Okay, this tastes awful.

Having determined that he couldn't appreciate red wine, Chen Qian put down his glass and then rubbed his hands together.

"Spit it out, stop being so coy, it's not like you're a man!" Cheng Qingqing rolled her eyes and kicked Shen Qian with her long leg under her bathrobe.

"Second Senior Sister, I want to do something, and I might need you to cover for me." Shen Qian stopped joking and said seriously.

"What?"

"That's roughly it..."

Shen briefly explained his plan before leaving.

After listening, Cheng Qingqing glanced at Shen Qian in surprise, then exclaimed in admiration, "You have guts! That's what a military man should do. But... you should go to Yu Shousi for this kind of thing. I remember you two are quite close. Why are you asking me?"

"Of course, it's because I think Second Senior Sister is more reliable. Besides, Director Yu has some limitations due to his status, and I'm afraid he might not be able to express his opinion on certain things," Shen Qian said with a smile.

"Actually, you're overthinking it. He'll definitely support this unconditionally... But since you trust me so much, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things."

Cheng Qingqing chuckled and agreed to Shen Qian's request.
