Chapter 790 - When the Cat’s Away, the Mice Will Play! (1/2)
Chapter 790 When the Cat’s Away, the Mice Will Play!
In a huge manor located in Nanjiang, a woman entered the lobby of the manor.
In the main hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit and wearing round gold-rimmed glasses was reading a book while seated on a wooden chair at the side of the hall. Beside him was a pot of fragrant tea.
This person was none other than the Patriarch of the Diwu family in Nanjiang, Diwu Mingchuan!
“You’re back?”
Without raising his head, Diwu Mingchuan said softly when he heard the footsteps.
“Yeah.”
In front of the door, a beautiful figure nodded with a smile.
“Haha.”
Diwu Mingchuan put down the book in his hand, looked at the person in front of the door, and said, “You haven’t drunk the fragrant tea Dad makes for you for a long time, right? We don’t have many other things in Nanjiang, but we have a lot of tea.”
While they were talking, the woman in front of the door walked in and she was none other than Diwu Qian.
“Did you find anything?”
As soon as Diwu Qian was seated, Diwu Mingchuan, who was making tea for her, asked her.
“No.”
Diwu Qian shook her head and said, “As far as I know, no one from the other forces seems to be able to find out anything about him. It seems that someone deliberately concealed his identity. Except for a name, we know nothing else about him.”
“Name?”
Diwu Mingchuan asked, “What’s his name?”
“Lin Yu.”
Diwu Qian said, “I asked someone to carefully investigate this name and discovered that there were no less than 100,000 people in the country with this name. After making exclusions, we confirmed John Doe’s identity. But when we dug deeper into his identity, we failed to find any information.”
“There’s no rush.”
Diwu Mingchuan handed her a cup of hot tea with a grin. “Even though we can’t find it now, it doesn’t mean that we can’t find it in the future. We can search slowly.”
After returning home, Yun Yangzi also exploited the powerful intelligence system of the Pear Garden to check up on John Doe. As a result, he did not find anything, just like the Diwu family.
Apart from those powerful families, there were numerous people and forces in Wulin who were interested in John Doe. But no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any information about John Doe.
Under these circumstances, all the people in Wulin felt particularly puzzled.
They would never expect that it was the country behind John Doe that helped conceal all traces of him. Not only all the information about Lin Yu, but even the traces of John Doe related to the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine were completely erased.
After all, if the country made a move, no one would be able to beat it.
“Haha…”
In a deep mountain where a famous Taoist cultivation place was located, there was suddenly a burst of laughter in the mountain forest.
A young man was laying under the shade of a giant tree. He was particularly comfortable as he lay basking in the warm sunshine while playing with his mobile phone. He was also chewing a long green blade of grass.
“John Doe defeated Yun Yangzi.”
“The battle of the No.1?”
Looking at the news on the Wulin forum, the young man couldn’t help but chuckle disdainfully, “When the Cat’s Away, the Mice Will Play. Since when can anyone be known as the No.1 in Wulin?”
The young man snorted.
He was scornful of the title of the No. 1 young genius on the Wulin forum.
“A ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian can be the best in the world. This one is even more ridiculous. A seventh-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian can defeat a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian. Although they bragged that he was so awesome, he only has such little strength. How dare he compete for the first place?”
“If it weren’t for the fact that my master didn’t allow me to go down the mountain after putting me here, it would be a piece of cake for me to win the first place with my current strength.”
“Whatever. I’ll let you enjoy it for a few days. When I go down the mountain, I’ll let you know how powerful I am!”
The young man put the phone in his trouser pocket, and then immediately got up. With a quick shift, he flew quickly toward the distant valley.
This young man turned out to be a guru!
In Jiangjing, Fang Qiu got off the high-speed train as Lin Yu, and then quietly went to the vicinity of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. After changing back to Fang Qiu’s identity, he walked into the school as he called Jiang Miaoyu.
“Hello?”
Jiang Miaoyu’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I’m back.”
Fang Qiu smiled and said, “If I remember correctly, you don’t have class this morning, right?”
“No, I don’t.”
Jiang Miaoyu replied.
Fang Qiu asked, “Have you eaten breakfast?”
Jiang Miaoyu answered, “Yeah.”
“Well, can you tell me what you wanted to tell me now?”
Fang Qiu asked casually, for fear that Jiang Miaoyu would be displeased because of this matter. After all, when she wanted to say something but failed to before, she looked really upset.
“Where are you now?”
As expected, Jiang Miaoyu changed her tone and asked hesitantly.
Fang Qiu said, “I just entered the school.”
Jiang Miaoyu said, “Wait for me by the Central Lake then. I’ll be right there.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded. After hanging up, he walked straight to Central Lake.
Shortly afterward, Jiang Miaoyu arrived.
Walking to Fang Qiu’s side, Jiang Miaoyu bit her lip gently and was still hesitating.
Fang Qiu did not hasten to ask her.
Instead, he held Jiang Miaoyu’s hand and started to walk around Central Lake with her. He didn’t say anything, giving Jiang Miaoyu enough time to think.
In this case, Jiang Miaoyu pondered for a long time before she opened her mouth, “I, I have something to tell you.”
“Well, go ahead.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.
“I…”
Jiang Miaoyu lowered her head and did not dare to meet Fang Qiu’s eyes. She said, “I signed up for the Africa Medical Aid Team of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.”
“What?”
