If that was truly the case, then where did this student even come from?

It was all Li Yuecould do not to deluge the girl with all her questions. She was definitely interested now.

Seeing that the students were starting to leave the conference call, she hurriedly turned her mic on again. “If it’s all right, Miss, may ask which school you guys attend?”

If their lecturer, who was a mere student, was this brilliant, then the teachers at their school must be on a G.o.dly level of expertise.

‘Could they be from International Middle School?’

A wave of disappointment washed over Li Yueat the thought. There was no way she would be able to send her younger brother toInternational Middle School, even if she were to enlist her entire family’s influence.

But she couldn’t think of any other inst.i.tution that was capable of rearing such promising youngsters.

Li Yue sighed to herself. Perhaps she should just give this idea up, after all.

Just as she was about to rescind her request, that cold voice came through the speakers again.

“City A No. 1 High School.”

This time, Li Yuecouldn’t stifle her gasp.

‘What? So they’re not from International Middle School?’

She immediately grabbed her phone and began looking up information on the school the girl had mentioned. It didn’t take her long to find something, since it placed on the provincial rankings.

…

Pier 9, City A.

The moon was shone through a thin curtain of clouds. Cold winds blew past the waters, sending the crows screeching into the night.

A figure slowly appeared from the mist and walked to the dock.

His usually warm face was now an expressionless mask, and his eyes glinted with something akin to danger.

He swept a glance over the pier and called out, “Come out.”

Soon, a man in a black s.h.i.+rt approached him from the other side of the dock. The second man smiled and said, “Brother Yan, fancy meeting you here. I see that you’ve also come to enjoy the scenery. The moon tonight is… quite a sight.”

Yao Yan’s face turned cold. “Don’t call me that. We are not familiar with each other for you to be addressing me like that.”

Unfazed, Cheng Yanwidened his smile. “It’s okay, since I’m very familiar with her.”

A muscle ticked in Yao Yan’s jaw. “Stay away from Little Sister. She isn’t someone you can afford to hound on a whim.”

“A whim?” Cheng Yan repeated, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng. Still, the smile never left his mouth.

“Mr. Yao, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to call her Little Sister, is it now? After all, strictly speaking, you and her…” he drifted off pointedly.

Yao Yan’s gaze turned sharp after hearing that, the corners of his lips curling into a smirk.

“Oh, I see. So you intend to meddle in our relations.h.i.+p, Mr. Cheng? I’m afraid you will be sorely disappointed in the end.”

“Well, you understand what I meant. Are you really siblings? You should know better than anyone else.”

At last, Yao Yandiscarded his calm facade.

“Whatever our relations.h.i.+p may be, it has nothing to do with you. This is between me and Little Sister. I am her brother as long as she calls me that.”

His aura changed, and tension began thrumming in the air. “But never mind that. What I want to know is what Mr. Cheng is doing at Pier 9 at this time of the night.”

Cheng Yan dropped his smile, too. He paused for a moment before saying, “How about you, Mr. Yao? Aren’t you here for me? I must say, your methods are pretty impressive. Have you been doing well these last few days?”

Yao Yan scoffed.

“As long as a certain annoying toad doesn’t keep popping up wanting to eat my precious swan meat, I’m as good as can be.”

Cheng Yan didn’t seem to mind the snide remark. “It’s all right. I’ll be able to work around your dirty little tricks soon enough.”

“Hmm. I think so, too. Though I wonder why you would go through all the trouble when you and I both know that you aren’t worthy.”

Yao Yan took his time putting on his gloves before looking up atCheng Yanagain.

“Since we’re already here, why don’t we stay for a few more days?”

The smile was back on Cheng Yan’s face as he nodded in the other man’s direction.
