He had wanted it countless times, but when he finally got it, he felt no excitement.
Seeing Qin Yu's expressionless face, Meng Jianguo and Du Qiang exchanged a glance.
"What, you don't like it?"
"I like it," Qin Yu said quietly, looking at the documents in his hand.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed his deep, dark eyes.
"Why don't you go see your wife..." Meng Jianguo said smugly, looking at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu rolled his eyes at Meng Jianguo.
What nonsense are you spouting? He's going crazy missing his wife.
"My brother risked everything for my sister-in-law, he even charged in, otherwise we would have had to investigate this line of work for much longer..."
Du Qiang looked at Qin Yu with admiration.
The eldest brother always had a kind of courage that no one else had. He faced Tiger alone and even managed to defeat him.
It wasn't that no one had ever suggested getting close to Tiger through buying and selling, but none of them had worked out. Tiger eventually discovered them, broke their arms and legs, and threw them out.
Once, twice, three times, more and more people failed, until the superiors could no longer afford to waste talent like this.
The pursuit of Tiger was suspended, and the plan was shelved.
The project was restarted recently because the number of people being trafficked has been increasing.
"Have you handed the person over?" Qin Yu asked calmly.
"No, do you have any opinions?" Meng Jianguo waited for Qin Yu to speak, as he also had a vague feeling about it.
“He has someone behind him,” Qin Yu said slowly. “He couldn’t have accomplished something of that scale by himself.”
"He has so many subordinates?" Du Qiang asked Qin Yu.
"Where did he get his subordinates? Where did he get the funds, connections, and... influence?"
Meng Jianguo and Du Qiang were immediately stunned by Qin Yu's words.
"It's impossible for him to have developed to this scale in such a short time by himself. Besides, I've already questioned the people who helped him transport the goods. They don't know any Tiger Master at all. It's the other person they've been in contact with."
Qin Yu said slowly.
"The reason I was able to find Tiger is because I discovered another lead."
It was the fifth brother who discovered that someone was actually selling people, and with a price tag.
He then told Qin Yu, which led Qin Yu to find Tiger.
However, Qin Yu couldn't tell Meng Jianguo about this, so he kept it a secret.
Meng Jianguo remained silent for a moment. He also had a vague feeling about this, but he was not as perceptive as Qin Yu, who made so many connections.
"I will continue to investigate!"
"Keep a close eye on Tiger, or he might be silenced," Qin Yu warned Meng Jianguo.
Meng Jianguo glanced at Qin Yu and nodded.
"I'm leaving in three days. Come find me then."
"Thank you," Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Qiqi misses you all very much." Meng Jianguo chuckled, then turned and left.
Seeing that Meng Jianguo had left, Du Qiang was about to leave as well when Qin Yu suddenly tossed him a set of keys.
Du Qiang quickly caught it.
"Big brother?"
"After I leave, bring some food from the cafeteria every day to help me feed the cats," Qin Yu instructed.
"A cat...?" Du Qiang looked at Qin Yu in astonishment.
My older brother keeps cats?
"That's your sister-in-law's favorite, don't you dare feed it away."
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, and the hairs on Du Qiang's back immediately stood on end.
"Definitely, definitely."
After Du Qiang left, Qin Yu returned to his room, thinking that he would see his wife in three days, and let out a heavy sigh.
During her time at school, Xia Lan's life consisted of a monotonous routine.
Unaware that Qin Yu was about to appear, Xia Lan spent three days adjusting to university life.
Every day I go to class, leave get out of class, go to the cafeteria, and go to the dormitory.
Su Dan and Zhao Pandi could only meet each other after class; they didn't attend classes with Xia Lan at other times.
"Comrade Xia Lan, Comrade Xia Lan!" a male comrade called out to Xia Lan as she left after class.
Xia Lan glanced at the person who had come, but did not stop for him.
"Comrade Xia Lan, I have something to say to you!" Xu Yu tried to grab Xia Lan, but she quickly dodged and then frowned and stopped.
"What is it?" Xia Lan looked at Xu Yu, who was pestering her relentlessly, with coldness in her eyes.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Xu Yu looked at Xia Lan in front of him, who was as gentle and refined as a woman from Jiangnan.
This was exactly the condition he had in mind for his future partner, and Xia Lan perfectly matched it.
"Since you know I hate you, why do you keep bothering me? You're not bad off, and many female classmates like you, so why did you choose me?"
Xia Lan was speechless as she looked at Xu Yu in front of her. There were hundreds of female students in the school, but he insisted on clinging to her, who was already married.
"Then why do all the female classmates like me, but you're so cold to me?" Xu Yu was also puzzled. He hadn't done anything to Xia Lan; he just wanted to talk to her.
But the first time, she looked at him like a fly buzzing around.
This made Xu Yu, who had always been invincible, feel very frustrated.
But what made him even more eager to figure it out was...
"I'm married," Xia Lan said earnestly.
"Maintaining distance from gay men is the most basic respect I can show to my husband, and it is also my self-awareness as a married woman."
Xia Lan's words carried a hint of emotion, which made many classmates take a second look at her because of her strong and resolute words.
"But how could it be wrong for you to have basic conversations with your classmates at school? Your husband wouldn't be so petty as to prevent you from talking to your male classmates, would he?"
Xu Yu's words infuriated Xia Lan.
Is this person unable to understand human language or what?
"Then let me ask you, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Lan asked calmly, holding her textbook and looking at Xu Yu.
"I..." Xu Yu's mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to ask.
Xia Lan glanced at Xu Yu.
"You can't even figure out what you want to ask me, so should I just wait here for you to come up with it? Wouldn't that be too selfish? Besides, it's break time now, and I'm really hungry. You're delaying my trip to the cafeteria, wasting my time, and interfering with my plans."
Xia Lan's words embarrassed Xu Yu, and all the classmates in the classroom were looking at him.
"No...it's nothing." Faced with such immense pressure, Xu Yu couldn't bring himself to ask and stepped aside.
Xia Lan nodded to Xu Yu, then walked past him and headed towards the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, the three people who had gotten their food but hadn't seen Xia Lan arrive looked at each other anxiously at the door.
"That shouldn't be! Why hasn't Lanlan come over yet? Is something wrong?"
"Lanlan always takes eating very seriously, something must be wrong."
"Let's wait a bit longer; perhaps something has held her back."
Although Su Dan, Zhao Pandi, and Wu Shishi did not attend classes with Xia Lan, they had already made a promise to eat together in the cafeteria every day.
Whoever arrives first will be given a seat.
