Chapter 44: Remember What I Told You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nian Yue slept for three hours. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man in a black coat leaning against the office table with a document in his hand.

His slender fingers turned the pages of the document. There was only the sound of the pages turning.

“You’re awake?”

As if they were telepathic, Nian Yue lifted her eyes and looked into those bottomless eyes.

Fu Xiuyuan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. “You must thirsty.”

He knew the drug’s effects best.

Nian Yue took it and took a sip of water. The discomfort she felt had disappeared. “Thank you.”

She was not someone who could fall asleep anytime and anywhere, but she actually fell asleep while on the drip.

It was strange.

She looked at the time. It had been more than three hours since she told Lin Nan not to move. She wondered if Lin Nan was still there.

At this, Nian Yue got off the bed and wanted to send a message to Lin Nan with her phone, only to realize that her phone was switched off.

Nian Yue rubbed her temples. Fu Xiuyuan had already passed a phone to her from behind.

The black phone didn’t even have a logo on it.

Nian Yue swiped the screen and her slender and fair fingers pressed a string of numbers.

Nian Yue frowned and returned the phone to Fu Xiuyuan. She decided to make a trip there.

“Where are you going?” Fu Xiuyuan seemed to have guessed her thoughts as he looked up and asked.

“Tl make a trip downtown.” Nian Yue put on her shoes and picked up her backpack. “I won’t trouble you anymore.”

She had not interacted much with this man. Not everyone had that cold and noble aura.

The cold girl quickly disappeared at the door. Jiang Jincheng came in wearing a white coat. He was holding a document in his hand. “Has the young lady left?”

Fu Xiuyuan didn’t say anything. Only his deep eyes showed how terrible he was feeling.

“This is her medical report.”

Jiang Jincheng flipped open the medical report. “Light malnutrition. Temperature is 34.2 degrees Celsius. The stress is too great. She has probably not slept for two weeks…”

He had quite a good impression of Nian Yue. Although she was cold and arrogant, she was not sloppy at all when she worked.

“This young lady is the daughter of Nian Chaoyu’s first wife. She shares the same mother as Nian Yu. I heard that she was abandoned in the countryside when she was young. Her grades are always first in ascending order

Jiang Jincheng said slowly, “The Nian family was afraid that she would not be able to get into university, so they forced her into No.1 Middle School.

“However, I heard that in the last monthly exam, other than failing to pass the Chinese Literature paper, she scored full marks in the top 100…”

“The dilapidated little mountain village has actually nurtured an all-rounder talent, who can clearly draw out layout for a bomb attack… Tsk tsk tsk…”

After Jiang Jincheng finished speaking, he did not hear any response. The man in a black coat was flipping through a few pages of a document with his slender fingers.

“Zhang Wei.”

Fu Xiuyuan’s lips twitched. “Get her to go to No.1 Middle School tomorrow.”

After confirming that Lin Nan and Wang Zhizhi were fine, Nian Yue returned home.

‘There was no one in the Nian Family home except for the sound of the piano from the second floor. Nian Yan had met Zhang Wei today and she was the only one among all the students who had been given a high evaluation,

But she saw that Zhang Wei had no intention of taking her in as a disciple. She only said that she would visit the school again in two days to see the other students.

Nian Yan knew that she was waiting.

Zhang Wei was not 100% satisfied with her, so she did not promise to accept her as her disciple.

She could bet that no one in No. 1 Middle School or even the entire Jiang City was as talented as her.

She had to write a song tonight and hand it to Zhang Wei tomorrow.

‘When Nian Yue came out of the shower, the sound of the piano on the second floor was still playing, Compared to the calm and peaceful sound she had heard at the start, there was clearly more irritation and uneasiness this time.

Nian Yue took a look at the time. It was already 10 PM.

Inside the piano room , Nian Yan pressed the last note and threw the piano score into the rubbish bin in frustration.

No, it felt wrong, She felt that something was missing.

She had learned piano for more than ten years, and this score was undoubtedly outstanding.

But this was definitely not what she wanted.

Zhang Wei was a famous master. What she wanted was not outstanding, but breathtaking.

There was a knock on the door and Nian Yan was rather annoyed. “Don’t you know that I’m practicing the piano? How dare you disturb me?!”

For the sake of Nian Yan, the Nian Family had specially prepared a piano room. Usually, servants would not dare to disturb her.

The door opened with a creak and a cold young girl grabbed the door handle, her eyes filled with coldness. “Stop making noise after 10 pm.”

Although Nian Yan’s room was soundproof, the soundproofing effect was average. She had been in a bad temper for the past few days and played many songs that were extremely piercing to the ears.

“I’s none of your business…” She swallowed the last word. Nian Yue’s eyes! were so piercing that Nian Yan subconsciously felt that those eyes were like an abyss.

“Remember what I said to you.” Nian Yue only closed the door and left slowly after seeing that Nian Yan had behaved herself.

“Antt!”

Nian Yan shouted angrily in the room. She was just a country bumpkin. What right did she have to order her around!

She was the real mistress of the Nian Family. Why should she have to do Nian Yue’s bidding!

Nian Yan was furious, but she did not dare to court death when it came to Nian Yue.

Hearing that the room had quietened down, Nian Yue’s lips curled into a mocking smile before she closed her eyes to rest.

The next day, Nian Yue carried her bag and entered the class. The students in the class were all discussing the sudden signal blockage yesterday. They were completely unaware of the attack that happened at the internet cafe and had no idea that they had walked through the gates of hell.

Both Lin Nan and Wang Zhizhi had arrived. Upon seeing her, Lin Nan was visibly relieved. “Nian Yue, are you alright?”

Even though Nian Yue had sent him a message yesterday saying that she was fine, he was still worried.

“Tm fine.” Nian Yue shook her head and threw her bag on the table. She leaned against the wall and turned on her phone.

“About yesterday…” Lin Nan looked at her and hesitated.

Lives were lost yesterday and yet they did not hear any news about it. Who had the power to cover up yesterday’s incident and not let it leak out?

“Just forget about it.” Nian Yue’s slender fingers turned the phone, and there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

Lin Nan knew that she was not joking. Since he was told to forget about it, he would definitely keep his mouth shut.

On the other hand, Wang Zhizhi, who had been silent all this while, gripped her phone tightly. The others did not know that she had already received the news of the bomb siege yesterday.

Logically speaking, even if it was a special investigation team from the capital, it was impossible for them to dismantle all the bombs without evacuating the crowd. It was even harder to do so while making sure that information had not been leaked.

However, someone managed to do it yesterday.
