After dinner, Su Bin and the others hurriedly made their way back to the college. The county examination was scheduled for the next day.
Su Bin contemplated for a moment and took Qin Zhenzhen aside for a private conversation.
“I don’t need you to prepare food for me tomorrow.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled and replied, “Okay!”
She wouldn’t insist on providing him with food if he didn’t require it.
Su Bin was somewhat taken aback. She had come all the way to prepare meals for him, yet she gave up so easily?
Observing Qin Zhenzhen’s cold demeanor, Su Bin felt a twinge of discomfort.
After a brief hesitation, Su Bin expressed his gratitude. “Thank you for what you did today.”
Qin Zhenzhen calmly responded, “It was merely a coincidence. There’s no need to thank me.”
“Fortunately, I understand some words, and I know that the book belongs to you. However, I’m not foolish, and I can discern that the woman wasn’t sincere. If others were to learn that your book was in her possession, it would undoubtedly tarnish your reputation.” Su Bin retorted angrily, “She must have been bribed!”
Yet, he lacked the means to prove it.
He handed 50 liang to Qin Zhenzhen.
“Could you ask your uncle to investigate this matter for me?”
Qin Zhenzhen declined the money. “You can keep the money. I will inform my uncle about the truth. I won’t ask you for any funds until I have some leads.”
“It would be beneficial for you to keep the money. There are three examinations ahead, and there are various expenses to consider. While you have accommodations in the county, when you travel to the province, you’ll not only need to eat but also find lodging.”
“Remember to eat at some high-class restaurants, so we can avoid accidents.”
She sounded just like an old mother who nagged.
Su Bin felt very uncomfortable hearing that.
With the money in his hands, he hurried back to the college.
The words that Qin Zhenzhen was the lucky star of their family kept ringing in Su Bin’s head.
Was she his nemesis or his lucky star?
Who was going to stop him from taking the examination?
That person started to set him up last year. How much hatred did that person have for him?
Most annoyingly, they were in the dark and he was in the light.
He had wanted to ask Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle for help, but he stopped himself.
Seeing his brother leaving, he said, “Third Sister-in-law, I need to leave now. I have something to do!”
Qin Zhenzhen knew what he was going to do.
Most of the friends he was hanging out with were living in the town.
At the gate of West Mountain College, Qin Zhenzhen saw two men who seemed to be very friendly with him.
“Are your friends following Honglian?”
Su Ping nodded and said with a small voice, “We can’t make a big fuss about this, and don’t tell my brother about this.”
Qin Zhenzhen found that funny. She was going to say that she had already said that.
But she could not help but remind him.
“Honglian is a woman with fireworks. She knows many people, and people like her are always protected by evil forces.”
“When you’re following her, you better be safe.”
But Su Ping did not care. “Third Sister-in-law, don’t worry, we are not made of mud!”
Qin Zhenzhen did not say anything more. She had already told them what they ought to do.
If he was going to get himself killed, it would be exactly what his brother wanted anyway.
Qin Zhenzhen had seen how her Fourth Brother looked at him. It was not a very friendly position.
After he left, Su Qing said goodbye to her. “Third Sister-in-law, I am going back to the theater.”
When only Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong were left alone at the moment, Qin
Silong said, “That bastard, if he doesn’t let go of Honglian, he will be doomed..”
