Chapter 849: Seeking News

Lin Yuxi had just left the school gate, preparing to hail a taxi to find that friend.

However, before she could hail a car, her vision suddenly blurred, and she only saw lightning flash by; then Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan appeared before her.

"Ah!"

Lin Yuxi was startled, subconsciously stepping back, nearly falling over.

Fortunately, a strand of gentle force suddenly appeared, instantly steadying her.

Jiang Hongyan withdrew her jade hand, looked at Xu Que, and said with a faint smile: "You scared her."

"Uh... I was a bit too anxious!" Xu Que rubbed the tip of his nose sheepishly, looked at Lin Yuxi, and said: "Sorry, Classmate Lin."

"It's okay, I'm fine!" Lin Yuxi hurriedly shook her head, feeling inexplicably despondent in her heart. Xu Que's apology didn't bring her any comfort; instead, it made her feel that the distance between her and Xu Que was even further than before.

"Classmate Lin, where exactly did you get the news about Feifei?" At this moment, Xu Que asked.

He had already tried scanning Beijing University with his divine sense, and even along the way, he had expanded his divine sense to cover the surrounding areas, large and small. However, he hadn't sensed any aura that could be Xu Feifei's.

This could only mean that Xu Feifei was not at school, or perhaps not even in Beijing.

But Xu Que wasn't entirely sure if this result was completely accurate, because it had been too long since he had seen Xu Feifei, and he thought it was possible he couldn't distinguish her aura and had overlooked it.

"That friend is someone you also know. I don't know if you remember, it's my roommate at the time, Liu Lan." Lin Yuxi said.

"Liu Lan?" Xu Que thought for a moment, and the image of a cute girl with a bit of baby fat slowly emerged in his mind. He nodded immediately: "I remember, 'Beef Brisket'!"

Because the name Liu Lan could easily be mispronounced as "Beef Brisket" (Niunan) in some regional accents, and she had a bit of baby fat at the time, she was given the nickname "Beef Brisket"!

Back when Xu Que was with Lin Yuxi, whenever he saw Liu Lan, he would always affectionately call her "Beef Brisket," which would make her run over to hit him in anger.

"She has entered the entertainment industry now and is considered somewhat famous. I originally planned to attend the school anniversary, so I contacted her last night and found out she received an invitation from the school to attend. We chatted about your sister inadvertently, and she said she had once seen your sister in the US!" Lin Yuxi said.

Xu Que was stunned; Xu Feifei was actually studying abroad in the US?

The US was not small, and if he went there to search with his divine sense, he might easily find Xu Feifei. But now, he wasn't sure if he could still distinguish Xu Feifei's aura.

"Liu Lan said that when she saw Feifei, it was about a month ago. She also learned that Feifei had a PhD and was working at a well-known biological research institute in the US, where she successfully developed a drug for longevity that received international certification. Later, she said she also saw Feifei's name on the school anniversary invitation list, and she called Feifei to confirm she would come!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yuxi paused slightly and shook her head: "But now it seems there are indeed many suspicious points about this. Feifei has been missing for so long; the school shouldn't have her contact information. And I tried to contact Liu Lan just now, but her phone is off!"

"Do you know where she is?" Xu Que asked immediately.

In his impression, the Liu Lan he knew didn't seem like someone who would lie, but there were too many strange things about this, and after so many years of not seeing each other, people's hearts could change.

If what Liu Lan said was true, then he could ask her for Xu Feifei's contact information or whereabouts.

If she was lying, then it meant she was involved in Xu Feifei's disappearance.

So the key now was to find Liu Lan first and ask everything clearly.

"When I contacted her last night, she said she was going to attend an entertainment industry party and didn't have time to come over. I'm preparing to go find her now!" Lin Yuxi replied.

"Where is the party being held?" Xu Que asked.

Lin Yuxi spoke, reporting the name of a large hotel and pointing out the location.

Xu Que didn't waste words; he waved his wrist, released a strand of True Essence, swept up Lin Yuxi, and headed directly toward the hotel.

Before long, the three landed on the roof of the hotel.

Lin Yuxi was pale, her face bloodless, clearly unaccustomed to her first "flying" experience.

Jiang Hongyan, on the other hand, silently changed her appearance.

She knew that her current identity would cause an uproar and sensation wherever she went, and might even bring a lot of trouble, so to avoid affecting Xu Que's work, she chose to appear with an ordinary face.

Seeing this, Xu Que said: "Hongyan, there's no need for that. If anyone dares to disturb you, I'll just kill them!"

Earlier at Beijing University, he thought he would see Xu Feifei soon, so he was in a good mood and let Xia Yunhai go back to warn the Xia family, giving them a chance.

But now, he felt that Xu Feifei might be in trouble, and he was extremely unhappy.

If Xia Yunhai were in front of him right now, he would definitely slap him to death, and even if the whole Xia family came, he would wipe them out together without giving them a single chance!

So if anyone was blind enough to disturb Jiang Hongyan, he would kill them too.

Everything followed his heart; this was his Dao essence.

To put it simply, when I'm in a good mood, I won't kill you if I don't want to; if I'm in a bad mood, even if you provoke me by a tiny bit, I will kill you!

When Lin Yuxi heard Xu Que's words, she was startled.

To her, a modern person, Xu Que's words were too overbearing and unreasonable.

If someone really came to chat and disturb Jiang Hongyan, killing them directly would be too ruthless, right?

However, when she remembered the cause of Xu Que's death back then, she fell silent.

"It's fine, appearing with this face will naturally be quieter!" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan shook her head slightly and smiled faintly; she also didn't want to attract too many onlookers.

"Hmm!" Xu Que nodded.

Immediately, the three walked down from the rooftop and entered the hotel.

……

At this time, the entire top floor of the hotel had been booked.

Countless celebrities from the entertainment industry, as well as business elites and bosses from various fields, people of extraordinary status, were all gathered here.

The purpose of this party was actually a celebration banquet for a movie that had sold well, invested in by several major investors.

More than half of the people in the entertainment industry had come; some were here out of friendship to show support, others were here to expand their network and socialize.

Liu Lan had debuted for a few years, and although she was somewhat famous, she wasn't a big name in the circle. Coming to the party, she naturally wanted to make more friends and, by the way, get to know some big directors to get more roles.

But at this moment, she was in trouble.

After her agent brought her over, she arranged for her to sit at the same table with several investment bosses, and then left on her own.

Liu Lan couldn't handle these bosses alone; several of them kept pouring her drinks, and as they drank more, they started to get handsy.

Liu Lan remained half-sober; although she had the ability to resist, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Because she knew very well that if she offended these big investment figures, she basically wouldn't be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore.

"Miss Liu, come, let's keep drinking. I've watched the show you acted in several times; I really like you!" At this moment, a boss surnamed Wu raised his glass and leaned over, his arm directly wrapping around Liu Lan's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally rubbing downward.

Liu Lan's face turned slightly pale; watching that devil's claw become increasingly presumptuous, she felt more and more powerless in her heart.

Should she resist?

Resisting meant she might never be able to advance further, or even become obscure from then on.

But if she didn't resist, and things continued, these people would become even more excessive.

What should she do?

What should she do?

"Slap!"

Suddenly, just as Liu Lan was struggling internally, a crisp sound rang out.

……
