Chapter 176

3:50 PM.

Su Yang changed his clothes as usual and came to the living room to wait.

There was no secret code today, no need to fold a rose.

The first stop was the library, and he planned to bring the book "The Spirit of the Knight".

Just as he went downstairs, he heard rhythmic snoring.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Jiang Hua sleeping soundly on the table.

His mouth was slightly open, and drool was all over the table.

As soon as he got close, he smelled a pungent alcoholic odor.

Su Yang frowned and fanned the air, "How much did you drink? Don't you want your life?"

Tang Youning, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, turned his head and said, "Drank half a box, not much."

"Really..." Su Yang shook his head and laughed, raising his hand to shake his shoulder.

"Hey, get up for the date!"

Jiang Hua opened his eyes in a daze, smacked his dry mouth, and said hoarsely, "One more..."

"If you can't drink, don't force it, as if someone is holding a knife to your neck," Su Yang helped take the empty wine bottles outside.

"It's fine, just beer, the alcohol kick comes fast and goes fast," Tang Youning said.

"The date starts in five minutes; I don't care if he can be in place on time," Su Yang stood in front of the full-length mirror to tidy his hair.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Youning understood and walked to Jiang Hua's side, raising his large hand.

"Slap slap!"

Two thick slaps landed heavily, and the table shook.

"Hmm? Who hit me?" Two bright red slap marks immediately appeared on Jiang Hua's face.

These two slaps immediately made him much more sober, and he stood up shakily to pour himself a glass of water.

"The date is about to start," Tang Youning said.

"Hmm..." Jiang Hua murmured, his eyelids drooping, listless.

Su Yang sneered in his heart, he didn't believe Jiang Hua would bury his life for drinking.

This guy wasn't a drunkard, how could he do such a stupid thing?

It's just that he was very curious about what medicine Jiang Hua was selling in his gourd.

Time came to 4:00 PM, and the portal arrived as promised.

"Good luck, everyone, I'll go first."

Jiang Hua opened the door staggeringly, fell forward, and disappeared.

Su Yang looked at the calm Tang Youning and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me today?"

Tang Youning hesitated for a moment, then said after a long time, "... Good luck."

"Why, not telling me to beware of Jiang Hua today?" Su Yang said with a half-smile.

"I've said what I should say, and you did what you did," Tang Youning said seriously.

"Wait!"

Su Yang stepped forward and stared into his eyes, "You guessed that Zhao Huaillei would act last night, right?"

Tang Youning didn't say a word, but under his slightly flickering eyes, the answer was self-evident.

"Just like the day Huangfu Shu died, you actually guessed it long ago," Su Yang said slowly.

"Hmm, I couldn't stop it," Tang Youning's tone was mixed with two parts helplessness.

"So it was the same last night, right?"

"Some things aren't as simple as you imagine."

"Oh?" Su Yang said with interest, "What a coincidence, I think so too."

"You might think you've taken a big advantage, but in reality, Jiang Hua is the biggest beneficiary."

"I can't guess, and I don't want to guess your thoughts; I only have one piece of advice for you—"

Su Yang smiled and patted his shoulder, "Actually, you don't have to be so tired; you can completely tear off that honest 'mask' of yours."

After speaking, Su Yang walked towards the portal, his figure submerged in it.

Leaving Tang Youning alone in a daze.

The bewildered expression changed quietly, and a flash of coldness passed through his eyes.

"Too late..."

Su Yang descended in front of a huge library; this magnificent building was located in the city center.

He looked around at the passing vehicles and entered with the book he had brought in advance.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the unique fragrance of books.

Dozens of tall bookshelves were lined up in this area, and the other side was the reading area.

Su Yang found an empty seat and sat down, opening the book to read on his own.

His eyes fell on the words, but his thoughts drifted back to the conversation just now.

"Brother Ning, who is always warm-hearted, is unusually indulgent."

"The game is about to end, so he doesn't plan to continue acting?"

That remark just now was just a probe; Su Yang had guessed it from those two slaps.

Sure enough, Tang Youning didn't have any 'advice' today.

In other words, he no longer needed to give any form of warning.

He wasn't surprised at all by Zhao Huaillei's arrival and claimed he slept dead last night and didn't hear Jiang Hua's knocking.

He didn't lie about this!

"Then that proves... the person who 'helped' last night wasn't him," a flash of light passed through Su Yang's eyes.

Interesting!

Looking at it this way, Tang Youning was the 'fifth person' in the assassination plan.

In this way, everything was explained.

Su Yang cleared up all the clues like an enlightenment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He wanted to flip the table, but Tang Youning didn't want him to do so.

But what can he do?

He already planned to do so.

"Su Yang?"

At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded in front of him.

Su Yang put down the book that was blocking his view and stared at the pretty girl in front of him.

He saw her wearing a white dress, her lively big eyes curiously examining him.

Her eyes were wrapped in faint nervousness and caution, as if worried that her call would disturb the reader.

Su Yang put the book on the table, stood up, and reached out, "You must be Lin Shuyu, right?"

"Ah? Hmm." Lin Shuyu looked at his 'unique' way of greeting and hesitated before shaking his hand.

Feeling the soft, boneless hand, Su Yang subconsciously pinched it.

Lin Shuyu withdrew her hand as if electrocuted, and her face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple.

Making one want to take a bite.

"Please sit," Su Yang signaled.

Lin Shuyu tucked her hair behind her ears, a polite yet soft smile always hanging on the corners of her mouth.

From head to toe, she showed a quiet side.

Su Yang stared straight at her beautiful face and said, "You are very beautiful, and this dress suits you very well."

"Thank you," Lin Shuyu smiled shyly.

"You're welcome, I always say what I think; I hope you don't mind," Su Yang picked up the book and smiled.

Lin Shuyu nodded, "It's okay, I also like being direct."

"Is that so?" Su Yang looked at the 'red light' flashing in her eyes.

"Compared to hypocritical scene talk, I think this is more real."

"That's perfect, let's start directly; let's have a sincere conversation," Su Yang said slowly.

"What do you... want to do?" Lin Shuyu's eyes were full of curiosity.

"You go borrow a book first; no matter what, the first stop of the date must be done," Su Yang pointed.

"Okay."

Lin Shuyu put down her bag and ran to the bookshelf area, took a look, and brought back a book she liked.

"I'm back."

Su Yang raised his eyes and looked, quite surprised: "'Urban Beauty'?"
