Translator: _Min_
Being stopped by Zuo Xianyu had put Zuo Qingya in a terrible mood.
The early morning interruption didn’t help either.
She yanked open the door, exasperated. “Who is it? So annoying, early in the—”
Her words cut off abruptly. Staring at the two police officers at her doorstep, her face gradually turned ashen.
She was done for.
Sensing something amiss, Zuo Xianyu finally looked up. “Who is it?” Zuo Qingya remained silent, stunned.
“Miss Zuo Qingya, correct?” The female officer eyed her, showing her ID.
“You’re suspected of a poisoning case. Please come with us.”
These words snapped Zuo Qingya back to reality. She trembled, “Second Sis—”
Though she had done many things, this was her first brush with the police. How could she not be scared?
“What poisoning case?” Zuo Xianyu was calm as she stepped forward. “Do you have evidence?”
“If we didn’t have evidence, we wouldn’t be here,” the female officer responded indifferently. “Someone recently made a baseless report and has already been warned. ”
Zuo Xianyu said nothing.
She knew this was a reference to the Chen family’s wrongful arrest of Si Fuqing.
The male officer didn’t hesitate, snapping handcuffs onto Zuo Qingya. “So young, yet so malicious!”
How cruel would you be to ruin a girl’s face.
“What are you doing?” Zuo Qingya screamed, struggling frantically. “I don’t want to go! I didn’t poison anyone!”
“Don’t resist!” the female officer shouted, “Obstructing an investigation is a separate charge!”
Zuo Xianyu made a quick decision. ‘Qingya, behave. Go with them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZuo Qingya couldn’t even cry. “Sister Sis, I can’t go…”
Zuo Xianyu signaled two servants to assist the officers in escorting Zuo Qingya away from the Zuo house.
She exhaled slowly, pressed her temples, and dialed Zuo Tianfeng’s number at the office.
Too many things had happened recently, leaving Zuo Xianyu irritable.
Perhaps it was time to consult a geomancer.
Meanwhile, at the ‘Youth With You’ training base, Dance Room 2.
Si Fuqing sat cross-legged on the floor, cradling a guitar.
With narrowed fox-like eyes, her slender, porcelain-white fingers strummed the strings while her other hand pressed against the fretboard.
As the music started, Shi Yu began singing nervously.
After just one line, Si Fuqing interrupted him. “You’re off-key. Sing again, relax, don’t strain your voice. If you’re this tense in practice, what will you do on stage?
Shi Yu took several deep breaths and resumed singing.
“You’re still low. Sing again.”
“Your highest note in these lines is E2. You’re hitting only C2. Raise it.” Xu Xiyun shrank his shoulders.
He really didn’t want to experience Si Fuqing’s hellish one-on-one training again.
An hour later, Si Fuqing finally nodded. “Alright, practice like this.” Wiping his sweat but more excited, Shi Yu thanked her. “Thank you, Teacher
“I’ll have someone bring you a better guitar for your performance,” Si Fuqing adjusted the strings and made a face. “This one won’t do.”
“How can you tell?” asked Xu Xiyun.
“By looking.”
Xie Yu chuckled softly.
Xu Xiyun felt mocked.
“As for Xie Yu, my only requirement is that you win the ‘Most Likes’ for the first public performance,” Si Fuqing leaned back, her hands supporting her chin, and smiled. “You know the consequences if someone steals your title.”
For every performance, a thousand audience judges would cast their ‘likes’, and the one with the most likes would win the title and get to choose the song and opponent for the next performance.
“I won’t disappoint you, Teacher Si, ” Xie Yu assured her.
Xu Xiyun scratched his head.
“What are you looking at?” Si Fuqing flicked her hair away from her forehead and kicked him. “Go practice your dance. If your ‘like’ votes fall below a hundred, don’t blame me for being harsh on you.”
Xu Xiyun deflated instantly, speaking feebly, “Teacher Si, do you really think I can debut?”
“Why not?” Si Fuqing looked up, her tone nonchalant. “If you can’t make it under my guidance, then you might as well go back to your mother’s womb, and start new again.”
In the past, when she was at Glenn, Qu Lingyun had said it was incredibly difficult to receive her personal guidance.
But once offered, it was profoundly impactful.
The importance of having a good mentor was evident.
She had never actually considered taking on students.
Si Fuqing tilted her head, smiling, “Work hard. You want to get into Glenn, don’t you?
Xu Xiyun paused, unable to process the comment.
“I’ll take a break.” Si Fuqing stretched, “You two practice on your own.”
She retreated to the lounge, flopped onto the couch, and pulled out her phone.
[Boss, it must have cost quite a bit to tamper with the surveillance, right?]
It took five minutes for the other end to reply.
[Boss]: Mhmm?
[Don’t worry, I’ll repay you. I’ll continue treating your leg tonight!]
[Boss]: Mhmm.
Si Fuqing pondered the two “Mhmm”s, then shrugged.
Like her senior brother, one more word seemed a mortal endeavor.
Flirting was futile.
Not fun at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, she switched targets.
[Ning Ning Ning, I want to eat matcha daifuku and strawberry-filled cookies! Rolls on the floor cutely.jpg] [Jiang Changning]:
[Jiang Changning]: Understood.
Si Fuqing sighed.
Girls were so much easier to deal with, soft and can be squished.
On the Zuo family side.
Upon learning that Zuo Qingya had been taken away by the police, Zuo Tianfeng hurriedly returned home.
“This useless girl!” He slammed his hand on the table. “We have enough troubles already, and she has to go and make things worse! Who has time for
Bad luck had been aplenty lately.
If it wasn’t for the two Masters of Yin -Yang from Fujisan in Eastern Mulberry…
“Father, don’t worry,” Zuo Xianyu remained calm. “As long as the person involved doesn’t press charges, it won’t go to court.”
“True,” Zuo Tianfeng waved his hand. “She’s just a small-time celebrity. If need be, we can settle this with money.”
He had never heard of Lin Qingyan, indicating she wasn’t widely recognized.
Like Si Fuqing, just another dance mentored, what kind of background could she have?
At most, she would have a financial backer, but the Zuo family was the number one family in the city of Lin, who would go against the Zuo family over a mere toy?
“Agreed,” Zuo Xianyu nodded.
“By the way,” Zuo Tianfeng suddenly asked, “Did you find out anything about that renowned doctor from the cardiology department?”
“They’re also not sure,” Zuo Xianyu shook her head. “Even the chief physician only knows their surname. I’m still waiting for a call.”
“Alright,” Zuo Tianfeng didn’t press further. “If you find out, let me know. I’m going to the police station. Tell that little celebrity to come to her senses and go there!”
Zuo Xianyu nodded.
Zuo Tianfeng barely had time for a sip of water before rushing out again.
Zuo Xianyu continued to sort through company files.
Soon, her phone rang.
Zuo Xianyu answered, “Hello, I’m the one who contacted you earlier about the mysterious doctor causing a stir in the cardiology department.”
“I understand, Miss Zuo. However, this matter involves patient privacy, and it’s inappropriate for us to disclose details,” the chief physician was very polite. “Of course, I’ll pass along your message to the lady. If she’s willing, she’ll contact you.”
“Alright, thank you,” Zuo Xianyu nodded, then hesitated, “You said ‘lady’? Is this mysterious doctor quite young?”
