Ning'an First Middle School

Chi Shuyan beamed with joy, swiping the dashboard and watching the sharp increase of orders. She didn't expect that the batch of talismans and magic weapons she had just uploaded in the morning would be sold out so quickly. The messages on her Taobao dashboard were all urging her to replenish her stock.

It seemed that the free trial package provided before was effective, attracting many buyers and increasing the number of repeat customers. Chi Shuyan looked pensively at the outcome of the shopping frenzy. It seemed that her price was still too low. Maybe, she could raise it a notch again.

"Shuyan, what are you looking at that's so funny? Why are you laughing so happily?" A voice interrupted Chi Shuyan's thoughts. She looked up and saw Wang Wanting standing in front of her with her head stretched forward.

Chi Shuyan immediately put away her phone and showed a shallow, alienated smile. "It's just some memes on the Internet trying to gain popularity on Weibo."

"Wow, Shuyan, you're too good. You even have the time to play on your phone now. How the hell are you going to get smarter?" Wang Wanting looked envious and said, "Unlike us, who all have heavy, dark circles like pandas and who keep on working on a lot of questions."

"It's not so bad." Chi Shuyan smiled faintly.

When Wang Wanting saw that Chi Shuyan didn't answer, she took a look around her desk and her eyes suddenly lit up. She took a set of exercise books from the upper left corner of Chi Shuyan's desk and flipped through them, then exclaimed, "Shuyan, your review materials seem good. Can I borrow them for a few days?"

"Of course not, Shuyan also has to study herself. How can you just borrow her review materials?" As soon as Li Xiaoting entered the classroom, she heard Wang Wanting's words, took three steps, and snatched them away, stubbornly refusing.

"It's not your review material." Wang Wanting looked unhappily at Lin Xiaoting, then turned to plead with Chi Shuyan, "Shuyan, please, please. You're already awesome. You can definitely do well on the college entrance exam. Can you lend it to me?"

Chi Shuyan gave a wee smile. "It's not impossible. Why don't we exchange review materials instead? Can I see that book on your desk?"

Wang Wanting's eyes flickered, full of apology. "Shuyan, I'm so sorry. I just bought that one and I haven't finished the exercises yet. Besides, Xiaoting is right. It's really not a good idea to exchange review materials now." She turned away and never said a single word about exchanging review materials.

"Tsk, you can't even spare your own review materials, yet you have the nerve to borrow them from others." Li Xiaoting made a face at Wang Wanting, sat down and whispered in Chi Shuyan's ear, "Shuyan, Shuyan, do you know who I just ran into in the restroom?"

"Who did you meet?"

"I ran into Wu Wenyun. I can't believe she really woke up and came to school."

"Oh."

"Shuyan, how can you react like this? Aren't you afraid she'll come after you again?" Li Xiaoting looked at Chi Shuyan worriedly. She had heard that Wu Wenyun was petty and loved to bully and humiliate female students the most. Although it wasn't Chi Shuyan who put her in a coma, there was a chance she'd put the blame on Chi Shuyan.

"She shouldn't be free right now." Fusing bodies was no trivial matter.

"That's right, there's the entrance exam now." Lin Xiaoting thought so too, then gloated and snickered, "Shuyan, I think there's something wrong with her brain. When I went to the bathroom, I saw her drinking water straight from the toilet faucet. Is she sick?"

"Xiaoting, don't go to the bathroom on this floor in the future." When Chi Shunyan heard her, she turned her head with furrowed eyebrows, and instructed in a serious tone.

"Shuyan, why? It's not like the school is run by her family." Li Xiaoting was puzzled.

Chi Shuyan was about to respond when a phone call came in.

Chi Shuyan saw an unfamiliar number on the screen, but as soon as the person spoke, she knew who it was.

"Sister Shuyan, it's an emergency! Are you free right now? Come over to the hospital?" Zhu Bocheng asked anxiously.

"Have you been hospitalized?" Chi Shuyan was surprised. "Was the talisman useless?"

"It's not me who's in the hospital. It's an old man I know who's in the hospital right now. Can you come over and help me out?"

"I'm not a doctor, I don't know how to treat patients." Chi Shuyan was baffled and was about to refuse, but when she heard his next sentence, she blinked and immediately agreed.

After making the call, Zhu Bocheng entered the VIP ward, took a look at Lin Chongchang, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and Lin Jingshi who was accompanying him by bed, and heaved a sigh.

Lin Chongchang looked hale and hearty before and more vigorous with age, but he didn't expect him to just faint for no apparent reason. Lin Chongchang was originally from the capital and had been an old family friend. Their friendship was quite good, and he was considered their elder, so he was uncomfortable seeing him faint.

All this time, the father and daughter, Lin Chongchang and Lin Jingshi, had been searching for that Talisman Master, and were about to go crazy. It might have been due to overthinking, but Lin Chongchang suddenly fell to the ground and didn't wake up. The past few days, they had consulted many famous doctors, but they couldn't even diagnose the cause of his illness.

Zhu Bocheng walked over to Qi Zhenbai, who was sitting on the sofa and taking a nap, put his hands in his pockets and said, "I called Sister Shuyan. She'll be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhenbai suddenly opened his eyes with a sharp glint and glanced at him.

Zhu Bocheng seemed afraid of his objection and hastily defended, "Doctors couldn't find anything anyway, so let Sister Shuyan take a look. Besides, didn't you investigate? She isn't the kind of person with ulterior motives at all."

If Qi Zhenbai hadn't stopped him these days, he would have wanted to see Chi Shuyan long ago. Unfortunately, his friend's old problem had occurred again. He had always been seriously paranoid.

"You really have confidence in her." Qi Zhenbai raised a brow, his eyes cool.

"That's for sure." Zhu Bocheng grinned.

"No wonder you're so stupid. You're always being schemed." Qi Zhenbai tugged at his lips and scoffed.

Zhu Bocheng was choked by Qi Zhenbai's words, appearing somewhat depressed. Although this investigation had nothing to do with Chi Shuyan, it wasn't an accident. It was the covert machinations of an ambitious man.

He was his father's only son with three uncles and aunts. Among the brothers, his father was the most successful, earning a share of the family fortune, but his Fifth Uncle was the most favored. As Fifth Uncle was the treasure of the Zhu family's head—his grandfather—and a child who was conceived in his grandparents' old age, he was very much loved. Once, before he was even born, his grandfather wanted to let his youngest child be adopted by his father.

But because he was born, his father refused and his grandfather also had nothing to say. But some time ago, his grandfather raised the same old topic again. Naturally, his parents disagreed, finding it absurd. It was for this reason that his home was in an unhappy mess.

Zhu Bocheng had never imagined that this matter would have anything to do with his young uncle, who was about his age. If Zhenbai hadn't investigated thoroughly in private, he would have also been kept in the dark.

Despite this, Zhu Bocheng felt somewhat suffocated, but when he turned around, seeing the figure at the door, he immediately showed a huge, bright smile. "Sister Shuyan, you're finally here."
