Chapter 24 - Suffering

Lu Qin chuckled nonchalantly and changed the topic, "Why were you standing at the school gate just now?"

"You can't enter without a card." Bai Ning said helplessly. She suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Enough about me, let's talk about you. How did you get into First Middle School? Are you a teacher here?"

Although they had known each other for a year, Bai Ning's understanding of his life was limited. They had never talked about these things in their daily interactions. She had only just remembered his name.

When Lu Qin heard this, he curled his lips and asked, "Do I look like a teacher?"

Bai Ning sized him up and firmly shook her head."You don't look like one at all!"

First of all, his temperament was different. On top of that, he was so good-looking. Which principal would be so free to hire such a teacher? If he were to become a teacher, would the students really be able to study well?

Lu Qin raised his brows and smiled. "Then that's it. How could I be a teacher? " He asked.

Seeing that he did not answer directly, Bai Ning lost interest in asking. She looked out of the car and said lightly, "You can park here, I can go in by myself,"

Hearing Bai Ning's words, Dong Yu only slowed down the car but did not stop directly. He stared at the rearview mirror and waited for his boss's instructions.

"Got it" Lu Qin replied.

After receiving the order, Dong Yu stepped on the brake.

Bai Ning glanced in the direction of the driver's seat and got out of the car after thanking Lu Qin.

Seeing the boss staring at the girl's back, Dong Yu didn't dare to start the car. Only after the boss looked away did he start the car again.

"Brother Qin, is she the girl you asked us to investigate?" Dong Yu asked.

"Yes." Lu Qin replied briefly. He had returned to his usual cold and aloof self, as if he wasn't the one who had spoken so ruffian-like earlier.

"She's pretty, but there's nothing special about her." Dong Yu asked doubtfully. He didn't understand. She was just a beautiful girl. What was there for his boss to investigate?

Moreover, the other party was still a high school student. If his family members learned that his boss was interested in a young lady, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

At the mention of Bai Ning, a cold glint flickered across Lu Qin's eyes, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up. He said softly, "Isn't beauty a special thing?"

Dong Yu was even more confused as he muttered,"There are countless beautiful ladies in Huacheng, but I don't see you being interested in any of them."

"Shallow!" Lu Qin rebuked, his handsome face filled with disdain.

Dong Yu was speechless.

His boss was a classic hypocrite! Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to show it even if he was beaten to death.

Suddenly thinking of something, Dong Yu stopped talking about Bai Ning and said seriously,"Brother Qin, the Palace of Secrets has replied that they have no news of Dongfang Yi. This person... Does he really exist?"

Even the most authoritative secret palace on the global information network couldn't find out who this person was, so it was inevitable that people would doubt his authenticity.

Lu Qin pursed his lips and said coldly, 'doesn't exist? Do the secret medicines you saw also not exist?"

Dong Yu thought about it and agreed, then replied aggrievedly,"Brother Qin, we've been investigating for so long, but there's still no news at all. This ..."

"Continue to investigate!" Lu Qin said in an unquestionable tone. Although his voice was very calm, it was obvious that there was some anger in it.

Dong Yu carefully glanced at the boss's expression through the rearview mirror and replied,"Yes." He didn't dare to speak again.

On the other side, after Bai Ning got out of the car, she asked someone for the location of the Academic Affairs Office. After a while, she stood at the door of the Academic Affairs Office.

She gently knocked on the door, and the person inside quickly replied, "Please come in."

Bai Ning walked in slowly. There was only one teacher in the Academic Affairs Office. He was about forty years old and was writing something with his head lowered.

She politely greeted the teacher and explained the purpose of her visit.

"Bai Ning? " Qiu Daoming asked in surprise, "You're the student who passed the entrance exam with full marks? "

Bai Ning nodded casually and said slowly, "Unless there is someone else with the same name, that would be me."

Qiu daoming sized up this arrogant girl and couldn't help but shake his head. Although this child scored full marks in the entrance exam, she might not know what First Middle School really was. She would suffer for being so arrogant.

"Give me your admission notice." Qiu Daoming said.
