Looking at the familiar scene in the room, Chen Shuo had the illusion that he seemed to have never left.
Everything in the room was still the same as the day he left.
That day was Su Xiyan's birthday. Chen Shuo had stayed up all night to make a birthday present for her - a rotating musical carousel.
He didn't have time to tidy up the room at all, thinking that he would tidy up properly after celebrating Su Xiyan's birthday and returning home.
He didn't expect that the hurried departure that morning would become a brief separation.
In such a short time, too many things had happened.
But fortunately, everything was developing in a good direction in the end.
Chen Shuo couldn't help touching his lips, which seemed to still retain Su Xiyan's warmth and fragrance.
He would never have imagined that the relationship between him and Su Xiyan would progress so quickly!
They had already kissed, so wouldn't the next step be...
Hehehehe~~~
Ahem! Chen Shuo, stop those colorful thoughts.
But it was still a bit exciting to think about it!
Tonight, the moonlight is so beautiful!
The next day, Chen Shuo went to school with Su Xiyan.
Monday was always an especially busy day. In addition to intensive courses, Chen Shuo also had to deal with basketball club affairs. Even the school dormitory office called to confirm the formalities for renewing Chen Shuo's status as a commuting student.
The parents had already notified them, so Chen Shuo couldn't refuse. He had to find time to go to the dormitory office and sign the papers, going through the commuting student formalities again with great familiarity.
In the afternoon, Su Xiyan sent Chen Shuo a message on WeChat, saying that Cheng Xinran had come to pick her up to go to the company for a meeting, and told Chen Shuo to drive the car home instead of waiting to leave school together.
Chen Shuo replied with an "OK" emoji.
A company meeting?
The so-called company was just a cover for the Su City Demon Hunter headquarters, right?
Hiding in plain sight, the Su City Demon Hunters had really taken the wisdom of the ancients to the extreme. Who would have thought that a regular company with complete procedures, in the highest grade office building in Su City, would actually be a demon hunter organization beyond human imagination?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shuo could basically guess what this meeting of Su Xiyan's was about.
The head of Su City, Tang Zhiyuan, had already been killed by himself.
By now, the demon hunters in Su City should all know that Tang Zhiyuan had disappeared or was out of contact.
So their meeting now should have two purposes:
First, to discuss the whereabouts or life and death of Tang Zhiyuan;
Second, Su City was currently leaderless. The new person in charge had not been appointed yet, so the atmosphere among them was probably quite lively now.
Sure enough, it was just as Chen Shuo imagined.
In Su City's highest grade office building, the floor-to-ceiling glass provided a crystal clear view overlooking the entire city.
The long round table in the conference room was full of Su City’s demon hunters.
The chair at the very top, the chairman's seat, was empty.
Everyone was arguing and expressing their opinions.
Su Xiyan and Cheng Xinran sat together, not participating in the debate.
As best friends who talked about everything, Su Xiyan had briefly told Cheng Xinran about Tang Zhiyuan and Chen Shuo.
Cheng Xinran had never liked Tang Zhiyuan in the first place. Plus, Tang Zhiyuan had deliberately isolated Cheng Xinran because of Su Xiyan before, which made Cheng Xinran even more angry.
In addition, Tang Zhiyuan's own behavior had already seriously violated regulations. Therefore, regarding Chen Shuo killing Tang Zhiyuan, Cheng Xinran's heart did not fluctuate much. She was just surprised that the seemingly insignificant Chen Shuo turned out to be the Ghost King with power so great that he could make the entire Su City tremble!
This contrast was too great, wasn't it?
She thought he was a puppy, but he turned out to be a big boss?
No wonder Su Xiyan's eyes were full of stars whenever she talked about Chen Shuo now.
Chen Shuo had finally become the shape Su Xiyan liked. Cheng Xinran leaned her chin on her hands propped up on the table, looking at Su Xiyan enviously. She endlessly lamented in her heart: This is a woman nourished by love! Radiant!
She felt that Su Xiyan was surrounded by a sour smell of love within a radius of several meters.
Su Xiyan sat in her chair, her gaze calm, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Listening to the demon hunters' arguments, Cheng Xinran leaned slightly towards Su Xiyan and said in a low voice, "I get it now, these people have already split into two factions."
"One faction strongly supports Old Tang, and even wants to go all out to search for Old Tang's whereabouts."
"The other faction looks forward to the arrival of the new person in charge, your dad."
Su Xiyan's voice was as cold as ever, with a hint of disdain: "There is another faction."
Cheng Xinran: "Huh?"
Su Xiyan: "The fence-sitters."
Cheng Xinran looked at Su Xiyan in disbelief for a long time before summing it up in one sentence: "Xiyan, you're starting to talk more and more like Chen Shuo."
Su Xiyan: "Ahem! Am I?"
Just as Cheng Xinran was about to answer, she heard someone shouting Su Xiyan's name loudly.
Everyone's eyes focused on the door of the conference room.
A middle-aged bald man walked in, still holding a thick stack of documents in his hands.
He was the core manager of the Su City Demon Hunters, surnamed Zhao, and had always been Tang Zhiyuan's trusted secretary.
Secretary Zhao walked in under everyone's gaze and slapped the documents in his hand onto the conference table.
"I found all these on Chairman Tang's desk."
"All the information inside points to one person."
"This person you also know, Su Xiyan."
Now, everyone in the room shifted their gaze from Secretary Zhao to Su Xiyan.
Each of them looked at her meaningfully, seeming to be waiting for Su Xiyan's explanation, while some were simply watching the show.
Su Xiyan's eyes lightly lifted, and her voice was as cold as ever, "Secretary Zhao, after going around in such a big circle, you might as well just say the name!"
"Let me say it for you!"
"This person you're referring to is Chen Shuo, right?"
In the Su City Demon Hunters, the name Chen Shuo was already familiar.
Secretary Zhao banged on the table angrily, "Su Xiyan, since you already know it's Chen Shuo, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation??"
Su Xiyan's eyebrows lifted slightly. "Explain what?"
"If you have evidence, just go hunt down Chen Shuo."
With one sentence, she silenced everyone who questioned her.
What was the point of suspicion without evidence?
The demon hunters' rules were all about evidence! And the long-suspected Chen Shuo happened to appear in many coincidences, yet there was no evidence!
This was a dead end that could not be resolved.
Secretary Zhao tried to salvage his dignity: "Su Xiyan, you'd better not let me catch Chen Shuo!"
Su Xiyan: "My address is registered in the company directory. Chen Shuo lives with me. You can go catch him anytime."
Secretary Zhao wanted to assert his authority: "You said it yourself! I'm going to see for myself whether this Chen Shuo is human or ghost!"
The heated meeting ended in disagreement.
It just so happened to be the end of the work day, so the demon hunters who had attended the meeting also got off work and left the office building.
As soon as they reached the entrance, all the demon hunters stopped in their tracks!
Parked at the entrance of the office building was a white AMG, and a young man in a hoodie was leaning against the car, seeming to be waiting for someone.
