Chapter 2135: Impossible to Become Friends

Jiang Mobai turned his head to look, his face full of wariness.

Yet the moment he saw the other person, he frowned: "Why is it Sui Xin? What is she here for!?"

"Sui Xin wanted to meet with us, so I gave her the address where we were meeting."

Jiang Mobai found it inconceivable.

He asked in confusion: "Refusing would have been enough, why let her come?"

"We don't have any leads right now anyway; perhaps Sui Xin can give us a surprise."

A surprise?

That woman could only bring shocks!

Jiang Mobai was not at all welcoming of Sui Xin's appearance.

He could also hear the footsteps behind him, getting closer and closer.

But he had no intention of paying any attention to them at all.

He just sat on the bench with his arms crossed.

Sui Xin walked over gracefully from behind Jiang Mobai.

Originally, she had been very happy to be able to see Jiang Mobai.

But that stiff back...

Sui Xin gave up on her fantasies.

She turned to look at Su Kexuan instead and brought up the main point: "I didn't want to disturb the two of you either, but I truly discovered an important clue that I need to tell you both in person."

Jiang Mobai maintained his original posture and hummed lightly: "You had better really have an important clue!"

As soon as his words fell, he discovered a document bag in his lap.

It was thrown over by Sui Xin.

At the same time, she began to explain her deductions to Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan did not belittle Sui Xin's judgment because of what had happened in the past.

On the contrary, she listened very seriously.

She even looked at the materials Sui Xin had investigated together with Jiang Mobai.

Those were the materials on Xiao Qian's grandfather.

As soon as Jiang Mobai saw the photo of this old gentleman, he furrowed his brows.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan asked: "What's wrong?"

"I feel like this old gentleman... looks so familiar?"

"He is quite famous; have you perhaps heard one of his lectures?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who listens to lectures?"

Fine, he certainly didn't look like one.

But soon, Su Kexuan switched to a different hypothesis: "He is a professor in the field of art; could it be that Tiantian had learned about him, and you saw it by accident?"

Jiang Mobai didn't feel like that was the case.

Besides, the field of art...

Jiang Mobai rubbed his forehead with his fingers, trying hard to think.

Suddenly, in an instant, Jiang Mobai thought of something!

He widened his eyes and said to Su Kexuan: "I remember where I've seen this person; it was at Qingkong's exhibition!"

This was a very important clue.

Su Kexuan hurriedly said: "Keep going!"

"He was introducing Qingkong's works to students at the time, spouting all sorts of pretentious, empty nonsense, and then Qingkong and I retorted against him; the scene was incredibly satisfying!"

Recalling the scene from back then now, Jiang Mobai still felt it was very gratifying.

The expression on his face became very vivid.

Su Kexuan, however, did not focus on that point.

She lowered her eyes to think for a moment, then asked: "You and Qingkong teamed up to retort against a professor?"

"Yeah, that's actually when Qingkong and I met!"

So that was it, so that was it...

Su Kexuan had finally discovered the truth!

Sui Xin noticed the subtle change on Su Kexuan's face.

Combined with her question just now...

Sui Xin also realized something, and she even asked: "Do you think it was this old professor who planned everything?"

"Nine times out of ten, that's the case!"

Now that the logic made sense, they needed evidence.

And Jiang Mobai, who had come back to his senses a beat late, volunteered: "Leave the matter of finding evidence to me!"

"Then you must act within your capabilities and don't be impulsive."

"Rest assured!"

After Su Kexuan exhorted Jiang Mobai, she said to Sui Xin: "Thank you for providing us with the clue."

Sui Xin hurriedly shook her head shyly.

Then she lowered her eyes and said: "I have always wanted to do something for you both to atone for my previous actions. I am especially happy that I could be of help this time, truly."

"The past is already over; you don't need to take it to heart."

"Really?" Sui Xin asked joyfully upon hearing these gentle words, "Then can we be friends!?"

Su Kexuan smiled.

Then, she explained unhurriedly: "A broken bottle, no matter how you mend it, will still have cracks. Rather than carefully maintaining it, it is better to find a brand-new bottle."

She was rejecting Sui Xin.

The smile on Sui Xin's face disappeared bit by bit because of this.

Finally, she let her shoulders slump in disappointment.

Tears fell uncontrollably.

Through tear-filled eyes, she saw Su Kexuan's indifference.

She also saw Jiang Mobai, who was boredly watching the ducks...

So, even after doing so much, she still couldn't dispel their wariness!

Sui Xin was very unwilling to accept this.

But the hardships she had endured during this time had taught her to keep her composure.

She raised her hand to wipe her cheek and said apologetically, "I've made a fool of myself in front of you both."

"Not at all."

"You must still have things to attend to, so I will... not disturb you further."

After speaking, Sui Xin stepped away and left.

Jiang Mobai let out a long breath.

His body also relaxed a little.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan asked, "Are you afraid of her?"

"Are you kidding? Would I be afraid of her? I just feel uncomfortable all over when this person stays in front of me, as if I've touched a cockroach!"

"But regardless, she did bring good news."

"The news is good, but I would have been able to find it out sooner or later."

"Whether you could find it is hard to say, but you would certainly have missed the appointment with Qingkong."

Mentioning the appointment...

Jiang Mobai fell silent.

Su Kexuan looked at his deflated appearance and smiled faintly.

Then she instructed: "I will go tell Qingkong about the latest discovery, and you go..."

"I know, go investigate the old professor."

Su Kexuan nodded and urged again: "No matter what you find, do not act rashly; we must discuss it together."

"Mm, no problem! Then I'm setting off now!"

With a goal in mind, Jiang Mobai was eager to get started.

There was even a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Looking at him like this, Su Kexuan was very curious about whether Jiang Mobai had actually taken her instructions to heart...

The process of investigating the old professor was actually quite smooth.

A casual check revealed his black history in the academic world.

The old professor's character was truly rotten.

But this evidence had little to do with Qingkong.

Even if it were made public, it wouldn't solve their problem.

Fortunately, there was a new lead from the reporter's side:

Xie Wanyi already had solid evidence to prove that it was the reporter who had malicious intentions and orchestrated everything.

And he also had a collaborative relationship with the old professor.

It was the two of them who joined forces to manufacture the cyberbullying!

Xie Wanyi organized the evidence he found and handed it to Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai instantly felt that victory was in sight!

He even specially gathered Su Kexuan and Qingkong together.

Then he excitedly proposed: "Let's prepare to hold a press conference! When the time comes, we'll slap those bastards hard in the face!"

As Jiang Mobai spoke, he even swiped hard at the air twice.

It was as if that were the bastards' faces, free to be slapped at will.

However, his excitement did not affect the other two people.

Su Kexuan and Qingkong remained calm.

They didn't even have the intention to pay attention to Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai didn't understand.
