"That depends on how much Mrs. Qi holds in his heart." Yan Luoheng's smile deepened.

The man said, not entirely certain, "I've heard rumors that they're very much in love."

"Is that so?" Yan Luoheng also paid some attention, after all, in his opinion, someone like Qi Jincheng wouldn't so easily give his heart to a woman.

However, as far as he knew, he had been very fond of Mrs. Qi during this period.

Thinking about all this, a figure unconsciously appeared in Yan Luoheng's mind. There was a time when he never thought he could be controlled by any woman, but now it seems…

After waiting for a moment, the man asked him, "Should we wait a little longer?"

Yan Luoheng asked hesitantly, with a hint of doubt, "I just wonder how much that Mrs. Qi knows about that matter?"

The man understood what he meant and then gestured to him, "Then, would you like to..."

Yan Luoheng shook his head slightly, knowing it was too late, and said, "If she already knows, then Qi Jincheng definitely knows now too."

“Moreover… Qi Jincheng should have known about this long ago, when I arrived here,” Yan Luoheng said with certainty. “It wasn’t just him, there was someone else as well.”

The man then realized what she meant, "You mean that person?"

Yan Luoheng smiled slightly and thought to himself, "It's been so many years since we last met, it's time to pay him a visit."

“Over there in Maqianbang…” the man mentioned that name again.

Upon hearing this, Yan Luoheng's face instantly contorted with murderous intent as he said, "Leave none alive."

Knowing Yan Luoheng's determination, the man nodded and obeyed, "Understood."

"Consider it a small gift." Yan Luoheng's lips curled into a mysterious smile again.

School.

Qiao Xi had to persuade Qi Jincheng before he agreed to let her come to school; otherwise, he was prepared to let her stay at home for ten or eight days.

Li Xiaoxiao was incredibly excited to see Qiao Zhu. She opened her arms and gave her a big hug, asking with concern, "Xiao Xixi, why didn't you come yesterday?"

"I..." Qiao Xi replied without thinking too much, "I'm not feeling well."

Li Xiaoxiao immediately began to observe her very carefully. After finding nothing unusual, she asked her earnestly, "Are you alright now?"

"Okay." Qiao Xi answered her question just as seriously.

It's clear that she genuinely cares about me.

"That's good." Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief instantly, but couldn't help complaining, "Why didn't you answer my calls? I almost went to your house to look for you, but didn't you say you moved out? I didn't know where you lived."

Qiao Xi said apologetically to her, "I'm fine, I just need a day of rest."

"Do you know what's going on with Ninth Master?" Li Xiaoxiao quickly asked again.

Qiao Xi subconsciously looked towards Jun Jiuge's seat. She had come today hoping to run into her, but it seemed she hadn't come.

But she couldn't let anyone else know about that, so she had no choice but to play dumb and ask, "What happened to her?"

Li Xiaoxiao immediately looked worried and said, "She's like you, she didn't come to school yesterday either, and it's probably hopeless for her today too."

Indeed, Jun Jiuge is almost never late when she comes to school. On the contrary, Qiao Xi almost always arrives at school just in time and rarely arrives early.

Qiao Xi felt a pang of disappointment and worry when her hopes of seeing Jun Jiuge at school were dashed.

But she couldn't show her feelings, and could only guess, "Maybe she's feeling unwell like me."

Li Xiaoxiao didn't doubt it; instead, she felt a bit envious and jealous, saying, "You two are so in sync."

"That was just a guess; I don't know the specific reason either," Qiao Xi shrugged innocently.

"Do you have her phone number?" Li Xiaoxiao asked again.

Qiao Xi had Jun Jiuge's contact information, but because of a prior agreement, she couldn't tell anyone her way, so she could only tell her against her will, "No."

"I don't have any either!" Li Xiaoxiao said anxiously.

Qiao Xi unconsciously comforted her, saying, "It should be alright, right?"

"If something really happened, it wouldn't be so quiet now."

Li Xiaoxiao thought what she said made sense. "You're right. If any student in our school does anything out of the ordinary, we're not afraid that no one will know."

"Mm." Qiao Xi nodded.

Although Peking University is the highest institution of learning in the capital and has produced many outstanding talents, the reality is that most of its students come from wealthy families.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Xiaoxiao said, "By the way, did you know that something happened in the dormitory building last night?"

"What is it?" Qiao Xi's worry for Jun Jiuge hadn't completely subsided yet.

Li Xiaoxiao immediately perked up and said, "A girl wanted to jump off a building, but she was stopped."

"Jumped off a building?" Was it that sudden?

Li Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, "Yes."

"What's the reason?" Qiao Xi asked, puzzled.

"For love," Li Xiaoxiao answered decisively.

This reason is indeed irrefutable, and... in her previous life, Qiao Xi did countless stupid things for love, and in the end, she brought about her own demise.

Li Xiaoxiao continued, "The woman is from the art department, and the man is Chu Junze, the eldest son of the Chu family, who was in the finance department before."

"Chu Junze?" Qiao Xi exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.

So, a girl wanted to jump off a building because of Chu Junze?

Suddenly remembering something, Li Xiaoxiao asked, "You guys seem to be in the same year, right?"

"We're still in the same class," Qiao Xi told her without hiding anything.

Li Xiaoxiao's face lit up instantly. "What a coincidence! You know him...?"

"I don't know." Qiao Xi interrupted her immediately. She knew what she wanted to say, and said weakly, "You should also know about my relationship with him and the other classmates."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao immediately cast a sympathetic look at her, "Little Xixi, you're so pitiful."

"But it's okay, you left there with the highest score in the grade, that's enough to make them furious," Li Xiaoxiao immediately comforted her.

Qiao Xi shrugged indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all in the past."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, but soon asked tentatively with a playful smile, "But you weren't classmates for a year, were you? What's his character like? Is he the kind of playboy?"

Qiao Xi wanted to avoid the question, she had already told Li Xiaoxiao that, but the girl was still persistent.

"It's alright," Qiao Xi said in an uncertain tone. "I haven't heard anyone say that he keeps changing girlfriends."

"Does he have a girlfriend now?" Li Xiaoxiao quickly asked again.
