Chapter 303
Qin Muchen murmured, “A fugitive on the run?”
Before Qin Muchen could hand out his next instruction, Nan Chuan had already asked someone to hand over the information about Lee Yannan.
He took the information and paused for a moment, then he said, “Boss, Lee Yannan was a human trafficker. Later on, he was captured on the charge of raping…”
When Nan Chuan mentioned the word, he felt perturbed.
What the Boss hates the most is those rapists. Although Boss is not a kind person, when it comes to this kind of person, it still bothers him.
After a long while, he heard Qin Muchen’s voice asking, “Any more information?”
“He’s about thirty years old and 167cm tall; he is also literate and his hometown might be in the southwestern mountains…”
Without waiting for Nan Chuan to finish his sentence, Qin Muchen interrupted him by saying, “Is it impossible to confirm the age, height and address?”
“Because it happened several years ago, and at the time, many huge cases were happening all together. They were unable to manage the situation, so Lee Yannan escaped. This person is very cunning, and back then, even his identity card was fake…”
Nan Chuan could feel Qin Muchen’s expression had changed through the phone; he initially wanted to tell him that his name could be fake too, but he back-pedalled.
However, Qin Muchen didn’t get angry. Instead, he said calmly, “That’s it for now. Pay more attention to the things in Yunzhou City. I’ll give you a holiday when I go back.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Muchen decided to meet this person who called Lee Yannan.
But, I can’t go alone. Should I let Su Ziyue take me? Yeap, that seems to be a good idea. Qin Muchen thought about it as he went out.
There was no signal over there, so he couldn’t make a phone call. They would have to talk in person if there was anything they needed.
He suddenly realized that maybe having no signal was a good thing. At least when she had anything to tell him, she could only see him in person.
He walked casually to Su Ziyue’s door, and noticed that she was typing away on her laptop.
He stood outside the room and stretched his arm to knock on the door.
Su Ziyue looked toward the door when she heard the sound.
When she saw Qin Muchen, she was stunned for a moment, and closed her laptop.
Then, she asked, “Anything?”
“Busy?” Qin Muchen ignored her question.
Su Ziyue felt slightly awkward about the way they were communicating—meaningless, and they sounded as if they were unfamiliar with each other.
“I was just writing down some notes,” Su Ziyue replied.
Qin Muchen nodded as he stood outside and did not enter the room. He asked her at a distance, “If you’re not busy, can you take me to the school here to have a look?”
Su Ziyue didn’t like the way he was being polite.
She was more used to the Qin Muchen who had always talked to her in a way of giving orders.
As she was surprised by her own thoughts, she came to her senses and replied immediately, “Sure. Now, right?”
Su Ziyue was turning off the laptop as she spoke.
When the two arrived at the school, it was close to the time school finished.
Children here took classes during the day, but they were dismissed early in the afternoon as they needed to help out back home.
The people here had a relatively poor mindset, all due to poverty and backwardness of the place.
They were unwilling to leave the village, and they all thought as long as they worked hard in farming, they would have a better life.
Su Ziyue was slightly tired from walking. When they were not far away from the entrance, she stood at the spot with a hand on her hips and pointed with the other as she told him, “This is it.”
Qin Muchen glanced toward the ‘school’ that they referred to and knitted his brows.
He knew there were many underdeveloped places in the world, but when he saw it with his own eyes, it still gave him a heavy impact.
Su Ziyue glanced at him and smiled. “When I saw the school the first time, I was even more surprised than you.”
“I am not surprised.” Qin Muchen glanced at her and headed toward the classroom.
Lee Yannan was writing an equation on the small blackboard, solving the question for the kids.
Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly and there was a sense of scrutiny in his gaze.
He was wearing a white T-shirt, and had a slim figure; he seemed to be around thirty years old, about 168 cm tall, and he seemed pretty gentle and polite.
No matter how Muchen looked at him, it was hard to see any connection of him being a human trafficker and a rapist.
“He is the only teacher here, called Lee Yannan. I heard when he was a teenager, he left the mountains and went out to explore. He came back a few years ago and started teaching the kids here. What’s admirable is that he didn’t forget why he started it.”
Somehow Su Ziyue had walked to his side.
Qin Muchen snorted when he heard her words. “Admirable?”
Su Ziyue really thought someone like Lee Yannan was very admirable. And Qin Muchen’s snide tone only made her annoyed.
Her expression darkened. “Qin Muchen, what do you mean?”
Qin Muchen merely said enigmatically, “Take a guess.”
He actually didn’t mean anything, but the person that could potentially be someone ‘meaningful’ was Lee Yannan himself.
He had been doing business for so long, and he had never misjudged someone.
Lee Yannan was definitely not a normal person.
Su Ziyue snorted and ignored him.
He is being sardonic and deprecative, so I will not entertain him. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
At that moment, it was time for school to end.
When the kids rushed toward the door, Qin Muchen immediately took Su Ziyue into his arms.
Su Ziyue was avoiding the kids, and she didn’t realize she was already leaning against him.
When Lee Yannan came out, he looked at Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen in surprise. “Miss Su, this is your…”
Su Ziyue turned around to look at Qin Muchen, only to realize she was really close to Qin Muchen.
She immediately took a step back and said to Lee Yannan, “This is our investor, and also our business partner, whose surname is Qin.”
Lee Yannan replied politely, “Mr. Qin.”
The villages here didn’t typically go with Mr. or Miss. They always addressed them as young ladies or young men.
Qin Muchen stood still, and he even tucked away his hands into the pockets of his suit pants as he replied casually, “Hello.”
Lee Yannan’s expression became stony all of a sudden.
He turned to look at Su Ziyue. “Miss Su, is there anything I can help you with today?”
Su Ziyue shook her head and said, “Nothing, we only came to have a look. We are heading back now and you must be tired after a whole day of teaching. You should go home.”
He only nodded when he heard that. He wanted to say something, but when he noticed that Qin Muchen was standing at the side looking impassive, he felt a sense of inexplicable fear.
Before he left, he gave Qin Muchen a glance, which didn’t go unnoticed by Qin Muchen; even Su Ziyue noticed it too.
Somehow, she felt Lee Yannan was a little weird.
It was not her first time feeling it.
And because of what happened last night, she kept feeling a little unsettled.
After some thought, she looked at Qin Muchen and called him, “Qin Muchen.”
“What’s wrong?” Qin Muchen turned his head and looked at her with a serious expression. As usual, like many times before, when she looked at him, she felt she could rely on him.
She bit her lip and said, “Actually… I think this Mr. Lee is a little weird.”
