Chu Chuyan nodded: "Okay! Please thank Azu for me."

Qin Wanru hummed in agreement, and then ripples appeared on the mirror surface again before it returned to being an ordinary mirror.

Zuan was taken aback: "I still have so much to say to Chuyan, why did you hang up?"

Qin Wanru said irritably, "The Audio-Visual Mirror consumes a huge amount of Yuan Stones for each communication. After a call, it cannot be used again for a month. Each call has a limited duration, so it can only be used in extremely urgent situations. How can I let you chat idly?"

Zuan looked disappointed: "Tch, I overestimated you. You really are a backward world."

Hearing his tone, Qin Wanru looked displeased: "It's no wonder you're seeing something so precious for the first time. You'll understand how rare it is in the future. There might only be one piece like this in the entire Bright Moon City. It was obtained by chance by the Chu family's ancestor back then."

“Only you guys treat this piece of junk like a treasure,” Zuan scoffed. “Back in my hometown, everyone has one, and we can talk about it for as long as we want.”

Qin Wanru: "Hehe, you're ignorant."

Zuan: "..."

Sigh, life is so lonely, like snow. Every time I tell the truth, no one believes me.

Next, Qin Wanru asked him to keep the salt permit a secret for the time being, as she needed to carefully plan how to maximize the effectiveness of this salt permit.

Zuan was naturally happy to have some free time. Having resolved a major issue, he was completely relaxed.

He went to school as usual, teased Xiao Zhao on the way, and flirted with female teachers at the college. He lived a very comfortable life.

The only regret was that he went to Shenxianju to find Qiu Honglei afterward, intending to express his gratitude to her for what happened that night.

When they arrived at Shenxianju, the people there told them that Qiu Honglei had already left.

As for where he went, no one knows.

Little did I know that that night would be our last farewell. I don’t know if we will ever meet again. Thinking of the time we spent together, I felt a deep sense of loss.

However, it wasn't long before Zu An understood why she had left. That day, Qin Wanru privately approached Zu An, her tone somewhat grave: "I wonder what kind of people those men in black are, that they actually dared to kill Sang Qian."

"Dead?" Zuan was also taken aback.

“No,” Qin Wanru replied, “but he was seriously injured. Sang Hong even asked Ji Dengtu to treat him, but that could only temporarily save his life. As for whether he can eventually get out of danger, it’s only a fifty-fifty chance.”

"With Doctor Ji taking action, everything should be fine, right?" Zu An was astonished. What exactly was the power behind Qiu Honglei that made her so powerful?

Could it be that the loss of those salt permits led to the blame being placed on Sang Qian?

"Not necessarily. The Sang family is even planning to have him and Zheng Dan get married early to bring him good luck, which proves that the situation is not optimistic at all," Qin Wanru said.

"What?" Zuan suddenly stood up.
