Chapter 1729 - 1729 Yang Lan's Death

1729 Yang Lan’s Death

Since Shuyan had said so, Zhen Yu could only agree. In any case, when she and Ah Zhi got married, Shuyan would definitely come. When the time came, Father and Mother Yang could meet Shuyan then!

As the two chatted, Zhen Yu also mentioned Yang Lan, mainly because she heard from Yang Zhi that Yang Lan had gone to look for Feng Qin. Unfortunately, not only was Feng Qin’s career progressing rapidly, his family had introduced him to a girl who was now his girlfriend. Zhen Yu had never seen this girl, but Ah Zhi had, and he said that she had good looks and character, and a good family background; she was a very good match for Feng Qin.

When Zhen Yu heard that Yang Lan had gone to look for Feng Qin, she had been worried that given Yang Lan’s extreme character, she would do something bad to Feng Qin. Fortunately, she didn’t. She apparently left after meeting him, but who knew where she went.

Zhen Yu had very complicated feelings about Yang Lan, her former friend. However, she had been kindhearted and naive once before, and had almost paid the price with her life. Now, she absolutely wouldn’t and didn’t dare be soft-hearted toward Yang Lan, even despite her tragic end after she was disfigured and dropped out of school.

Chi Shuyan’s expression didn’t change when Zhen Yu mentioned Yang Lan, but when she heard that the other party had gone to look for Feng Qin, she was a bit surprised. She quickly calmed down and said to Zhen Yu, “Her matter has nothing to do with us in the future. As the saying goes, those who persist in doing evil will only bring about their own destruction. This is retribution.”

She had given Yang Lan countless reminders, but unfortunately, Yang Lan didn’t appreciate it at all, and even hated her. Chi Shuyan really didn’t have the slightest bit of compassion or sympathy for this sort of person who repaid kindness with ingratitude.

Zhen Yu nodded. She thought the same.

Zhen Yu originally wanted to pull Shuyan out to the corridor to catch up, but the bell rang, and the two could only go back to their seats. Zhen Yu was reluctant to part with her.

Chi Shuyan gave her a reassuring look.

The afternoon passed quickly. When Chi Shuyan and Zhen Yu left the university in the evening, they unexpectedly ran into Brother Feng and Counselor Zhang, who were getting into a police car.

Chi Shuyan told Zhen Yu to leave first and immediately went over to greet Brother Feng and Counselor Zhang.

Feng Yuanlin wasn’t surprised to run into Shuyan here. After all, Shuyan was studying here, and the person he had come to find was Shuyan’s counselor.

Seeing Shuyan walk over to look at him, then at Counselor Zhang in the car, with a surprised frown, Feng Yuanlin didn’t hide it from her. He took her to the side and said, “Your Counselor Zhang didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that we have something to discuss with him and we want him to ID a body.”

Seeing Shuyan look even more surprised, Feng Yuanlin hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth. In any case, this wasn’t a secret. Moreover, Shuyan was quite familiar with the deceased, so Feng Yuanlin explained the whole story to her.

A body had been found in a river this afternoon. Who knew how many days it had been in the river, but it was a little bloated. However, they had already confirmed the deceased’s identity – her name was Yang Lan. She had probably committed suicide. The police now wanted Counselor Zhang to verify that the deceased was her.

Hearing of Yang Lan’s death, Chi Shuyan was utterly astonished and stupefied. Surprise flashed through her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Since Brother Feng had work to do, Chi Shuyan didn’t disturb him and let him do his thing.

Feng Yuanlin was indeed busy and didn’t stand on ceremony with Shuyan. He said that he would take good care of her counselor, turned around, got into the car, and left.

Chi Shuyan stared as Brother Feng’s car drove away; her feelings were complicated when she thought of how Yang Lan was dead. Although she really disliked Yang Lan’s character, in the end, they had once gotten along very well. She had once really treated her as a good friend. Unfortunately, times changed.

Because of Yang Lan’s death, Chi Shuyan was in an ambivalent mood when she got home. Her feelings were especially complicated. Not wanting to dwell on the matter, she simply turned her attention elsewhere as she opened WeChat and sent a message to Fan Yin: “Sorry, I was busy before and couldn’t reply right away. Does your Fan family still want the spirit tea? If you want to cooperate, how about we meet at Imperial Restaurant in private room 508 at noon tomorrow to discuss it in detail?”

She hadn’t given the Fan family a reply after a long while, and she didn’t know if they were still interested. Thinking this, she felt quite guilty toward Fan Yin and the Fan family.

Chi Shuyan hesitated for a moment before she gave him her phone number. A few seconds later, she received a call from an unfamiliar number. Staring at the number, Chi Shuyan had a vague guess. When she swiped to answer the call, Fan Yin’s familiar voice came from the other end. Chi Shuyan’s lips curved up slightly. On the other end, Fan Yin was incoherent with excitement. “Sob, Master Chi, you’re finally… finally… finally paying attention to me? I thought you were ignoring me because I said something wrong before. My heart has been beating hard these days. Fortunately, Master, you’re paying attention to me again. That’s great! That’s great!”

What Fan Yin didn’t say was that ever since he thought that he had somehow ‘offended’ Master Chi, and had told his father about it, his father had scolded him terribly every day, and his face was unsightly every time he saw Fan Yin. The Fan family also asked Fan Yin about the spirit tea every day, which made him feel very guilty and troubled.

Fortunately, his father had helped him hide the fact that he had ‘offended’ the Master. Otherwise, the entire Fan family would have blown up and come to settle the score with Fan Yin. His life had been so difficult lately. On top of that, he hadn’t been able to negotiate a deal for the spirit tea, so there were a lot of rumors in the Fan family about him offending the Master. Fan Ping, that b*stard, had been taking potshots at him recently, even as he privately did all he could to look for Master Chi. Fortunately, Fan Yin was tight-lipped and had kept it a secret, so the other party hadn’t been able to find Master Chi. If that brat really took Fan Yin’s place to discuss the spirit tea business with Master Chi, he would really vomit blood. In short, he had been vomiting blood lately. Fortunately! Fortunately, Master Chi finally contacted him. Sob!!! It was too difficult for him!
