CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32 MISS, DID YOU COMMIT MURDER?

"Teacher hasn’t come out yet, you can’t leave now, Miss,"

Sui Yi actually wanted to say she didn’t want to leave, as she hadn’t yet thanked the person, it’s just...

"Hey hey, young girl, over here!"

Jiang Yunxiu ran out from the side compartment seating area and led Sui Yi over.

Face to face, Jiang Yunxiu finally took a close look at Sui Yi who was sitting quietly there...

Well, even though she was young, she was exquisitely beautiful with perfect skin, eight out of ten!

Her figure was slender, and although she wasn’t very tall, she had long legs that made her appear tall, seven out of ten!

As for temperament...

Jiang Yunxiu pondered for quite a while before finally settling on nine and a half points between nine and ten.

All things considered, he found the girl to be of high quality. If she were a bit older, that look...

Sui Yi, on the other hand, could feel the other’s gaze as if dissecting a corpse.

Hesitating, she rubbed the abrasions on her knuckles, which were somewhat stinging... "Thank you for before..."

Jiang Yunxiu casually smiled, "I’m a doctor, it’s what I should do."

After a pause, he added, "Though if you really want to repay me in some way, I wouldn’t mind..."

Sui Yi once again confirmed this person might be a veterinarian without a business license; after being silent for a while, she stood up and poured a cup of tea for both Jiang Yunxiu and herself. As Jiang Yunxiu watched in surprise, she picked up the tea and performed a formal tea gratitude ritual.

"Uh..." Jiang Yunxiu was momentarily dazed, wondering, is she really a high school student?

Why did it feel like her aura...

Though it was clearly very pleasing and conveyed a sincere sense of gratitude.

Jiang Yunxiu naturally returned the gesture, and his gaze at Sui Yi softened, losing its teasing quality and becoming warmer by a few degrees, "Although I don’t know how you ended up in that state to be saved by Yi Chilian, I am glad to meet you... My name is Jiang Yunxiu, and I’m a doctor."

"Sui Yi, student,"

Sui Yi replied with a smile.

While the two of them were talking, there was some commotion below!

Jiang Yun frowned, went to the railing and looked down to see one of his men running up, "Dr. Jiang, there are police downstairs looking for someone... We’ve stopped them for now, but we wanted to inform the Teacher and ask if we should send them away directly?"

The authority bestowed by a powerful background was evident in his words.

But the police? Sui Yi got up and walked over, looked down at the crowd that was starting to gather, and frowned, "Those police are looking for me... I’ll go down now. I’ll thank Mr. Yi another day."

Having said that, she turned to the elder and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience, I’ll go down now. Please show me the way."

"Uh, okay..."

The elder instinctively thought of leading Sui Yi away...

"You seem to enjoy leaving without saying goodbye each time," came the clear voice. Yi Chilian had changed into new clothes and come down from the staircase. Sui Yi then realized that he had also been on the top floor earlier?

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi felt a slight blockage in her heart.

Every time?

"I did say goodbye last time," Sui Yi looked at Yi Chilian.

He walked over to her.

Standing in front of her, he lazily glanced at Jiang Yunxiu.

But Sui Yi frowned.

It seemed like the last time it was he who chased people away...

"You were so eager to leave that you didn’t even ask my name, which is quite telling. It’s no better than leaving without saying goodbye."

"....."

Sui Yi felt this man was contradictory, but considering he had saved her twice, she still said apologetically, "Thank you again for your help, sir. But since the police down there are looking for me, to avoid causing you any trouble, I should go down..."

Yi Chilian looked at her lazily. His eyes were cold and detached as he asked indifferently, "Did you commit a murder?"

Sui Yi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and smiled, "Sort of..."

So, you should let me go down now.

Harboring a murderer isn’t a small problem!

"Then you can’t go down even more... I’ll find a place for you to hide..." Yi Chilian’s expression was indifferent, as if he had just said nothing at all.

The elder and Jiang Yunxiu... Since when was Teacher Yi someone who got involved in others’ affairs to the point of his brain acting up?

"Uh, no need to trouble you..." Sui Yi also subtly declined.

"I never save people for nothing... If you were to be shot, I’d find it meaningless. Don’t make it difficult for me..."

"...."

This man’s logic! It was completely contrary to his coldness the last time...

Sui Yi quietly looked at Yi Chilian for a while, her brows furrowed. After a moment, she asked, "Teacher Yi, are you feeling unwell today?"

He asked with all seriousness, his expression elegant and gentle, as if he were truly concerned.

In simple terms: "Teacher, have you taken your medicine? Or are you possessed by a ghost!"

The old man hung his head.

Good heavens, this girl is so sincere...

Jiang Yunxiu leaned against the railing, laughing, "Hahaha"

Yi Chilian took a breath, eyes narrowing slightly, and said to the old man, "Send her to the police station... and collect the reward while you’re at it..."

Then he turned around...

Miss Sui Yi let out a sigh of relief, her relieved demeanor making the old man and Jiang Yunxiu think her even more ridiculous.

-------------

But in the end, instead of being sent to the police station, Lin Quan and a few others were let into the teahouse alone to see Sui Yi.

Seeing that Sui Yi was not dead, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Quan stared blankly at Sui Yi, his expression somewhat grave. After a long time, he said heavily, "Sui Yi, I misjudged you before."

"Huh?" Sui Yi was surprised, then saw...

Lin Quan bowed.

"Thank you for protecting those innocent people at the critical moment, and thank you for your assistance to the police," he said.

Zhang Xiao and the others were shocked, but they too quickly followed suit.

Sui Yi found the whole scene somewhat baffling, but she paused and then smiled, "Well, I appreciate it, but there’s no need for this. Just help me erase the impact this incident had on me."

She paused, frowning, "If this matter is unrelated to me, then that would be for the best."

Huh?

Lin Quan was surprised, "You mean..."

Sui Yi smiled faintly.

Lin Quan was silent for a while, glancing at the old man and the somber-faced guards on either side. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand, I’ll do my best to take care of this matter..."

The old man watched this scene from the side. Moments later, Lin Quan and the others left the teahouse, while Sui Yi turned to ask, "Teacher, could you tell me where the back door is here?"

-------------------------------

After Sui Yi slipped out the back door, the old man slowly and elegantly ascended the stairs and entered a teahouse room.

Yi Chilian and Jiang Yunxiu were sitting opposite each other,

The old man roughly recounted what he had heard, adding, "I found out, it’s an assassin that the police were chasing... related to a murder case not long ago, but somehow Miss Sui Yi got involved..."

His intelligence seemed genuinely impressive; in just a few words, the old man had managed to clearly convey the situation, even including some of the secrets not disclosed by the police.

However, looking at Yi Chilian’s face, it was apparent that he had no interest in the matter.

The old man said no more, falling silent.

Just then, a pot of tea was ready.

"How can such things happen in this small town of Nanxun? It seems your judgment isn’t so great after all, considering you said it was peaceful here!" Jiang Yunxiu said dismissively.

Yi Chilian glanced at him, his long slender fingers closed together, knuckles distinct, as he opened a scroll and spoke indifferently, "What’s restless are the people, but what I referred to as peaceful was this place of Nanxun."

"Heh~~ I am a pure physician, and I have no words with you scholars..." Jiang Yunxiu picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Then you can remain silent. I won’t blame you," Yi Chilian said.

These words sounded as though they were suggesting he was illiterate!

Jiang Yunxiu’s eyes rolled, and he huffed, "I really don’t enjoy talking to someone like you... just like Miss Sui Yi doesn’t enjoy talking to you!"

His eyes sparkled, immediately noticing the young lady’s reluctance to interact with Yi Chilian. Perhaps it was also for this reason that he found it more interesting~~

Play hard to get?

That didn’t quite fit...

Hmm? Yi Chilian’s wrist paused, he knew her name already? They had become so familiar so quickly? Not as distant and guarded as before...

He recalled when she had just emerged from the water... like a radiant peach blossom, so bright and enchanting.

His attention slipped, and his eyes suddenly caught a vertical line in the book.

Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation, the living can die, and the dead can live.

Excerpt from "Peony Pavilion"....

Yi Chilian felt somewhat perplexed; he didn’t usually read this, but today, after Sui Yi randomly pulled it out, it was this he picked,

His finger traced the words on the page, and suddenly he smiled dismissively, closing the book.

A deep love?

Heh~~
