"Could it be..." Qin Yunchu asked Liu Ruyan with wide eyes.

The words "human trafficking" were stuck in her mouth and she couldn't say them.

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

"The teacher adopted Yingying legally."

Everyone looked at each other.

As if she already knew that people would not believe her easily, she took them to a room.

After searching in a drawer for a while, he finally took out a file bag.

The documents were taken out of the file bag and spread out on the table, showing them to everyone:

"Certificate of Transfer of Guardianship," "Certificate of Adoption," "Certificate of Guardianship"...

Gu Yuanzhen carefully looked at the documents one by one, with signatures and official seals.

There are even handprints of Chen Ya and Yingying's uncle and aunt.

It is indeed a good thing to adopt legally.

"How did you do that?"

Gu Yuanzhen stared at Liu Ruyan with wide eyes.

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "I don't know."

"ah?"

Liu Ruyan said, "I met the teacher very late, much later than the other girls, so... I don't know as much about the teacher's past as they do."

Qin Yunchu said, "Do we have to ask them to get the answer?"

Liu Ruyan tucked her sideburns and said, "Yeah."

Qin Yunchu was anxious.

It feels like when you're halfway through writing a favorite novel and the author suddenly stops writing.

How come you don’t know when it comes to the most crucial part?!

She finally understood why some people would resort to the abnormal method of sending razor blades to urge updates.

This feeling is so uncomfortable!

It would be better not to listen in the first place!

Liu Ruyan seemed to have a rare feeling that something was wrong with her. She tucked her hair back in place and said calmly, "There's another way."

"What method?"

"Actually, the teacher left some of his personal belongings in his workshop," Liu Ruyan said. "Go take a look at those things and perhaps we can learn more about the teacher's past."

He Shiying's eyes lit up. "Right! Didn't he brag about being a great writer? Let's go see if he's actually written a book, and find out what disguise he's wearing!"

Gu Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Perhaps his book sales are not as high as yours."

Everyone walked into the workshop together. Liu Ruyan squatted down and just opened the opaque wooden cabinet door below, and a book fell out.

Qin Yunchu picked up the book.

"'The Sentimental Swordsman', the Ruthless Sword', the ancient cage?"
