After class, Qin You saw this trending topic. It was impossible not to be surprised, since his girlfriend had been publicly acknowledged for a long time. He had only followed her, so how did it become a trending topic?

Upon clicking through, Qin You noticed something odd about the comments below. Why did they sound like... paid trolls?

Thinking about this, he calmed down. The trending topics were bought, that made sense.

But then another question arises: who bought him this trending topic?

A ray of sunshine was definitely out of the question. After thinking it over, Qin You decisively opened the latest drama list. Sure enough, the detective drama had already aired its fifth episode, the very episode in which he appeared as the villain.

Qin You then looked at several other web dramas from the same period and unsurprisingly spotted a new drama from another company, even with a script set in the same background.

Forget it, let them do it themselves. Qin You closed Weibo and sent a message to Xiao Qing; he needed to give her a heads-up.

Qin You's preventative advice was timely. Xiao Qing almost got into an argument with the person who was insulting her via private message. Fortunately, she saw Qin You's WeChat message in time, calmed down a bit, and then blocked the person who was insulting her—out of sight, out of mind!

Xu (X):

I'll treat you to dinner when I get back, all you can eat!

/laughing out loud

Xiaoqing replied with an eye-rolling emoji, I wonder who she learned it from.

After replying to the message, Qin You called Meng Ziqiu again, and only hung up after hearing that he was almost there.

Qin You put on his helmet, mounted his beloved little motorcycle, and headed back to the Meng family today because Yan Jiudu had arrived.

A few days ago, Meng Ziqiu contacted Yan Jiudu in Yuncheng and learned from him the whereabouts of the Ziyang Treasure Box that Hua Laosan had taken, which was in the hands of the Jiang family.

Yan Jiudu came to Weicheng this time to help them find the Ziyang Treasure Box.

On the way back to the Meng family, Qin You inevitably encountered the evening rush hour, but fortunately, he was riding a motorcycle and still made it home smoothly and on time.

The three of them happened to meet in the parking lot.

After not seeing him for many days, Yan Jiudu had gained a lot of weight compared to before. His face was fuller, and he looked much more energetic.

Meng Ziqiu took the initiative to 'introduce' Qin You to him, and said with a smile, "We're all on the same side, it's alright."

"Let's go inside and talk. I've already found out..." Yan Jiudu walked towards the Meng family without any hesitation, his movements even showing some familiarity.

Meng Ziqiu glanced at Qin You, then shrugged to indicate his innocence.

Upon entering the room, Meng Ziqiu first drew the curtains, making it look quite tidy.

"Tell me about it," Qin You said to Yan Jiudu, while pouring him a glass of water.

"The things you're looking for will be exhibited by the Jiang family at an auction in Beijing on the 5th of next month. It's not a big event, and there's nothing 'big' about it, so you should be able to sneak in."

Qin You counted the time and realized it seemed a bit rushed. He had to join the film crew next month, and it might be difficult to find the time.

“Let’s just go, it’s supposed to be pretty easy to get in.” Meng Ziqiu understood from his expression. He had seen Xu Qian’s work schedule before, and next month was quite full.

Yan Jiudu looked at him with a hesitant expression, his eyes seeming to say, 'What he meant by "easy to sneak in" was actually referring to himself.'

"Don't worry! It's a sure thing!" Meng Ziqiu seemed oblivious to the other party's disdain and doubt, displaying considerable confidence.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll come find you when I'm about to leave." With that, Yan Jiudu stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

"Hey, are you leaving already? Why not stay a few more days?" Meng Ziqiu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"I'm in Weicheng to pick someone up. Don't worry, it won't delay things."

"Here to pick someone up?" Qin You remembered the other party's identity and couldn't help but recall the monk Xiao Qing had mentioned before. Could these two also know each other...?

"Yes, an elder." Yan Jiudu did not hide anything.

"Could he be a monk?"

"...?!" How did you know?
