CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: PEI YAN IS MARRIED??

The lady said, "The person you’re talking about, I just happen to know them. They live right across the street, upstairs, and work as a sanitation worker in our area. They’re warm-hearted and nice. Last year, one morning while they were cleaning up like usual, they noticed a few suspicious people carrying packages tightly, walking quickly. They saw a thick wad of cash drop out, and thinking they might be thieves, they reported it to the police. It turned out there were even some bloodstains on it, and after catching them, they realized these were the robbers from the recent news. Apparently, they even committed murder because of an unfair distribution of loot. Spooky, isn’t it?"

The lady shivered slightly as she spoke.

She continued, "Afterward, he was commended and received a reward of ten thousand yuan. If you’re looking for him, just cross the street, turn a corner, go into the community, and he’s on the sixth floor of the second building, in the apartment on the right."

"Thank you, ma’am." Qin Yun guessed the show’s intention after listening and thanked the lady before going over.

Meanwhile, Pei Yan received three pieces of information: one was 1.58, another was a book, and the third was chalk. The information was very clear.

He immediately found a nearby school and got precise information after inquiring.

Pei Yan stopped a girl about to go upstairs to class and asked, "Hello, I’m looking for someone. Does your school have a teacher who’s somewhat special or has received some special award? About 1.58 meters tall?"

Unexpectedly, the girl he stopped turned around and looked, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Pei, Pei Yan?" she stammered.

"Yes, I’m Pei Yan. Do you know which teacher I’m talking about?" Pei Yan paused and continued to ask.

She had been in class in the morning, and now seeing Pei Yan at the school, she was so pleasantly surprised she didn’t know how to express it.

"I know the teacher you mentioned. Let me take you to her. She’s our senior year’s homeroom teacher. She’s been diligently working for decades and treats her students like her children. Her class has the highest graduation rate in the school and has received recognition. She happens to have a class this period and just went to the classroom." She spoke excitedly as they walked upstairs.

They reached the classroom and found that teacher.

The female teacher seemed to be in her forties or fifties and was a bit surprised to see Pei Yan arrive so quickly.

"How about you substitute a class for me? In all these years, I’ve never missed a class, so I’ll take a break today," the teacher smiled kindly.

"I’ve never been a teacher," Pei Yan hesitated for once.

"It’s fine, say whatever you want, just let them relax," the teacher calmly and patiently said.

Since she said so, Pei Yan agreed.

Not knowing how to teach or what to say, he let the students ask questions for him to answer.

Many in the class had seen dramas he acted in and were excitedly chattering when they learned he’d be teaching them.

They asked him about filming, like during a certain drama, was that scene real? How was that shot taken? They asked all sorts of questions.

Pei Yan patiently answered each question. Finally, after hesitating for a while, a girl asked, "I want to ask, do you have a girlfriend?"

Pei Yan was silent for a moment, then turned to the cameraman following him and had him turn off the camera.

"Regarding this question, I don’t want to lie to you, so I’ll be honest. I’m married. However, due to certain reasons, we don’t plan to make it public for now, so I hope you can keep it a secret." When Pei Yan mentioned being married, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes, so quick almost no one noticed.

The cameraman was stunned and froze in place.

What did he just hear?

Pei Yan is married???

He must have misheard.

Such a big issue, how could he casually tell the fans?

If this were true, it would be major news in the entertainment industry!

It would be seismic!!

If this got exposed, it could crash Weibo instantly!

But, is this even something he can listen to?

The cameraman felt tears on his face, fearing he might get silenced.

"Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone," the girl who asked said through tears, covering her mouth to promise.

Many in the class were fans of Pei Yan, especially the girls who felt sad upon hearing the news, but all promised in unison, "Don’t worry, brother, we won’t tell anyone."

The boys didn’t mind much; they were fans of his dramas. Hearing he was married was more surprising, but they knew Pei Yan wasn’t young, and marriage at his age was normal.

The key point was Pei Yan’s honest attitude. When asked, he answered sincerely without creating false single or other personas to deceive the fans and deny he was married.

Instead, it made them feel Pei Yan was worthy of being a fan favorite. After all, Pei Yan was now a top-tier star, a double Oscar-winning actor, at the peak of his career, and his candidness about marriage in the industry was truly rare.

His partner must be very reassured, right? Though no one knows who the woman who captivated him is.

As they speculated about who it might be, Qin Yun, sweeping the street elsewhere, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Achoo."

Qin Yun paused her street sweeping, rubbed her nose, and mumbled, "Who’s talking about me? Could it be those old folks from the Heavenly Court with nothing better to do?"

"Forget it, I’ll deal with them later!" Qin Yun sniffed and continued working.

She had just sought out the sanitation worker and was asked to help clean the street to receive a token, which she was close to completing.

This time, she was sure to beat Pei Yan!

Soon, Qin Yun finished cleaning, got the token from the sanitation worker, and quickly ran back.

At the same time, Pei Yan had already gotten the token and was on his way back to the hotel.

To beat Pei Yan, Qin Yun practically jogged the whole way, but when she reached the hotel, she found Pei Yan was already there.

She stood at the door and heard the staff say, "Congratulations, you successfully found the target person and got the token. Since you were the first to find the target and obtain the token, you will receive a lavish dinner prepared by a five-star chef."
