Feng Caixia and Qiu Xiaorou didn't think too much about it, assuming that Sixth Master was just in a good mood and that's why he offered his help.
Su Yan felt something was off, recalling the way the other person had looked at her.
Oh no, to be precise, it was Sixth Master who was watching her the whole time.
It wasn't that she was being delusional; she had noticed several times that Sixth Master was always on her.
Could he know me? But the original owner had never left Anping Town since childhood, so how could he possibly know Sixth Master?
Su Yan became increasingly frustrated, seemingly oblivious to Qiu Xiaorou calling her.
"Mr. Su?"
"Mr. Su, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times already."
Qiu Xiaorou walked over and gently pushed her, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Su Yan turned around abruptly, blinked in realization, and said without changing her expression, "Sorry, I was thinking about the restaurant and didn't notice what you were saying."
Feng Caixia sighed helplessly, "I know you're thinking about this, but you can't keep thinking about it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Exactly! We've come all this way, it would be a waste not to have some fun!" Qiu Xiaorou said. "Let's take a nap to recharge, and then go out for dinner tonight? The night markets in Guangzhou are much more exciting than those in Lanzhou!"
Su Yan dismissed those random thoughts and raised an eyebrow, asking, "How are the prices at the Oriental Pearl Tower?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaorou exclaimed in shock, "You want to eat at the Oriental Pearl Tower? A normal meal there would cost over a hundred yuan, unless you order abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, or fish maw, which could cost close to four figures, but the taste is quite good."
The Oriental Pearl Tower is an unattainable dream for ordinary people.
They feel like the two extremes of the world.
The poor die of poverty, and the rich die of wealth.
Su Yan clicked her tongue in amazement. Restaurants with nearly four figures in the 1980s?!
"Let's go eat something normal, and then we'll go buy some clothes."
Xiaorou is right. It's a rare opportunity to come all this way, and she doesn't want to treat herself badly.
Suddenly remembering something, she sat up in bed and said, "I need to make a phone call to let my mother and Uncle Tang know I'm safe."
Feng Caixia nodded, "Of course, you can go."
Qiu Xiaorou also said, "There is a telephone installed on each floor. You can make a call by entering your room number. You can pay the call fee when you check out."
"good."
As soon as Su Yan came out, she saw a telephone at the bottom of the stairs.
She walked over and followed Qiu Xiaorou's instructions, first entering the room number and then dialing the nearest phone booth.
After the call connected, she didn't say much to Li Juan, just asked her to inform Tang Li before hanging up.
After making that call, she didn't hesitate to dial Jiang Jingxing's office number.
This time, it rang for a few seconds before someone answered.
"This is Commander Jiang's office. I am his bodyguard. May I ask who you are?"
Su Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I'm looking for Commander Jiang, isn't he here?"
Is it a girl?
Wang Xiaoxin scratched his head and replied, "The regimental commander is not in the team today and will not be back until tomorrow. May I ask what your name is? I will tell the regimental commander when he returns."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Su Yan's eyes. "Oh, okay then. My name is Su Yan. Thank you for your help."
"Okay, is there anything else, Comrade Su Yan?"
"No, thank you."
Su Yan hung up the phone, her face full of frustration.
She turned to leave, but when she looked up, she saw the man standing at the top of the stairs on the next floor, and instinctively took a step back.
After recognizing the person, she spoke, "Sixth Master?"
There were too many people around, so she didn't get a good look at the man.
When Sixth Master was downstairs, he was originally wearing a black casual tracksuit, but now he has changed into a white tracksuit.
He was tall and muscular; even through the thin fabric of his clothes, Su Yan could see his prominent muscles, perfectly proportioned without the greasy look of an overly muscular man. He hadn't styled his hair; it was a clean-cut buzz cut, slightly damp as if he had just taken a shower. His features were distinct and sharp, especially his captivating peach blossom eyes, which gave the illusion of deep affection when they looked at you.
His aura was cold and menacing, making him impossible to ignore. His entire body radiated an aura of menace, deterring anyone from approaching him.
At that moment, he had his hands in his pockets and was glancing at her with his chin slightly raised.
The atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.
Wu Feifan peeked out from the left of Sixth Master, breaking the silence with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum. "What a coincidence, young lady! We've met again. It's fate that we've met. It seems you and our Sixth Master are quite destined for each other. Why don't we become friends? My name is Wu Feifan, this is Sun Tu, and Sixth Master needs no introduction, you should already know him. We're all locals from Guangzhou. And you?"
Su Yan blinked, thinking to herself that she had only just found out herself.
She smiled and said, "My name is Su Yan, I'm from Lan City. Thank you for your help earlier."
"It was nothing, nothing to mention," Wu Feifan continued. "You're from Lanzhou? You look quite young. Why did you come all the way to Guangzhou?"
Faced with such questions, she felt she should remain vigilant.
But since they had just helped her out of her predicament, she felt embarrassed to refuse to answer.
"I'm an adult now and preparing to go to university, so I came to Guangzhou with my friends to have some fun before the start of the semester."
Just when she thought the other person wouldn't ask any more questions, she heard Wu Feifan ask in surprise, "Wow, you're a college student? Which university?"
Su Yan remained silent, shifting her gaze to Sixth Master, only to find him looking at her with interest.
But there was no malice in those eyes; it seemed to be nothing more than pure curiosity.
She answered truthfully, "Southern Medical University."
"Southern Medical University... why does that name sound familiar?" Wu Feifan muttered to himself.
Sun Tu chimed in, "Are you crazy? Southern Medical University is right here in Guangzhou! And you call yourself a local? How embarrassing!"
Wu Feifan's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, saying, "Then you and we are really destined to meet. If you ever need anything in Guangzhou, just come to me, and I'll take care of it for you!"
Su Yan: "..." Isn't this person being a little too enthusiastic?
Is there really such a good thing in the world? She didn't believe it!
Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Sixth Master curled his lips and said in a low voice, "Noisy."
Wu Feifan immediately shut up, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.
Sixth Master walked down unhurriedly. As he passed her, he tilted his head and glanced down at her, letting out a soft "heh," and said, "Little wildcat."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Su Yan?
A wildcat? Her?
This guy's acting weird. People in the underworld always seem to have weird tempers.
She muttered to herself as she returned to her room.
...
It was late afternoon, close to seven o'clock.
Su Yan and the other two came out of the hotel.
Qiu Xiaorou led the way, saying, "It's about a ten-minute walk from here to the Oriental Pearl Tower."
Su Yan changed into a white floral dress that reached mid-calf, revealing a section of her fair legs. The rope around her waist was tied into a bow, perfectly showcasing her slender waist. Her long hair was tied into a loose bun, her forehead was smooth, and a few messy little hairs made her look lazy and gentle.
