Chapter 64: Clarification

  "Last time in the reading room, your skills were quite good." He easily caught the big man's full-strength blow, but still took a lot of damage. Shao Qi was not stupid and knew he was pretending on purpose, pretending to be an ordinary person.

  He indeed saved him, Shao Qi acknowledged, and now he was just openly taking revenge, he suspected him, or rather, it was no longer just suspicion.

  "What's the big deal?" Still calm and collected, after all, it's normal for boys to practice Taekwondo or other martial arts!

  "I don't believe you can keep it hidden forever, I'll be watching you, waiting for you to reveal it yourself!" Shao Qi smiled at him, his elegant and refined face, like a rare orchid blooming in a quiet valley, exuding confidence and self-assurance.

  "...". The corners of his mouth had a noticeable arc, and Lai Yifan looked into his eyes, suddenly brightening up. He was about to say something, but Lai Yifan had already lain back down on the bed, habitually opening his computer as usual.

  Shao Qi knew he was watching a good show and waiting for him to give up!

  Will you give up?

  Shao Qi felt that if he were still the simple and innocent person he was in the past, like a blank sheet of paper, he would have turned a deaf ear to all this and pretended it didn't concern him. However, now that he had experienced many hardships and had entered the gray area, he really couldn't ignore what was happening around him anymore.

  Otherwise, all calculations are meaningless!

  To deceive the enemy, one must first learn to deceive oneself; to be meticulous in calculation, one must take a comprehensive view.

  A person with no real power, who can only win by using their wits, must be extremely cautious, make the most of every resource, maximize the value of each one, and learn to understand the general trend of things.

  But as for controlling, he didn't have that ambition, nor did he have that ability. After all, power and struggle were never what he wanted.

  He was originally a lazy person, forced to become like this, and it's indeed helpless.

  Slowly sitting back on the bed, Shao Qi once again browsed through the information on his computer, meticulously, as if searching for a needle in the ocean, not missing a single detail.

  The information that appeared on the cold screen was still Lei Yifan's.

  Gender: Male

  Age: 19 years old

  Height: 178cm

  Place of household registration: None

  ID Number: None

  Parents: None

  High school graduation institution: None

  ……….

  All the information was almost a clean and shallow "nothing", Shao Qi even stared at the computer screen with a hole, but he couldn't see any information, and he also knew that no information was often the biggest information.

  This boy, who has been living under the same roof as them for nearly three months, seemed to have suddenly emerged from underground, like a puff of smoke, and had never had much presence before, but existed anyway.

  He let out a soft sigh, no longer looking at the computer that didn't have any substantial information. Shao Qi rubbed his eyebrows, that damned private investigator really made good money, finding nothing and still getting paid.

  Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang. Shao Qi took a look at the number and found that it was the detective who claimed to be "all-knowing" that he had been looking for earlier. He wondered what the guy would say to him, so he picked up the phone without hesitation.

  "Money is really easy to make!" Shao Qi said slowly, on the phone, he saw Lei Yifan glance at him and didn't mind explaining over the phone.

  "I've really used up all my energy, even went to the black market to ask around, if it wasn't for you giving me the information earlier, I would suspect that you're just playing me and having me look for someone who doesn't exist at all."

  Shao Qi furrowed his brow, and the voice on the phone continued: "I advise you not to be too obsessed, anyone who can't be found is unlikely to be a suitable person to contact..."

  Shao Qi understood that there were people who couldn't be found, and they weren't in the same world as him. Either they were dead or didn't exist under the sun. No matter which one it was, investigating further would bring a hundred harms with no benefits.

  "I'm a decent businessman, since I couldn't find anything, I'll return a quarter of the commission to you. Also, that person you asked me to find, I've already found them for you, and I'll send over the information later." Having finished speaking, the detective didn't give Shao Qi a chance to respond or react, and quickly hung up the phone.

  Shaoyu was speechless for a moment, okay, he had money too, wasn't this just suffering without spending any money?

  But if he gets angry over such trivial matters, then he would become a balloon. Shaking off the faint melancholy in his heart, Xiao Qi opened his mailbox, where an email had just arrived.

  Opened the email, unexpectedly saw Xiang Yan's photo, those things that happened before, as a friend he really couldn't just stand by and do nothing, after all this was something he could easily understand, after all what he lacked least now was money?

  The past was unbearable, and the sky had turned upside down in just half a year. Shao Qi suspected that he was watching a melodramatic and endless tragic drama, because he knew the protagonist and the authenticity of the story, and suddenly felt his chest stuffy.

  The computer screen's glare was also dazzling, and with a faint sigh, my gaze slowly shifted to the window outside. The 4th floor height allowed me to take in the vast scenery, where grey skies were filled with dense snowflakes fluttering down, just like marathon runners on the field, busy and striving.

  Just then, a loud noise was heard, and the person who went to buy food finally came back slowly.

  "Brrr, it's so cold! Oh my god, I'm almost frozen stiff!" Exaggeratedly stomping their feet, the two of them put down their chopsticks on the dinner table and jumped up like frogs, stretching out their hands to warm each other's necks.

  "Hmph, you're having a lucky streak, always winning at games, calling us slaves, freeze to death!"

  Why don't they go after Yi Fan instead?

  The answer is simple, I don't dare! It's meaningless!

  Imagine facing that thousand-year-old well-like, motionless and expressionless icy skin all day long, what a scary thought in the middle of the night!

  No matter what you do, they just stare at you with a cold expression, as if watching a play, without any emotions, letting you jump up and down, they really can't think of any way to tease or joke around.

  That's the advantage of being a stoic iceberg man, of course, you'll also lose many things that ordinary people use, but fortunately, there are always some people who understand gains and losses, and there are always some people who don't take certain things seriously.

  So, the four of them in the dormitory, although they always act together, everyone also knows that Lei Yifan's existence is often just for show, simply existing for the sake of existing.

  The only fortunate thing is that this stiff way of getting along has not caused any estrangement, although they are not bosom buddies, but also a gentlemanly friendship that can be relied upon.
