Chapter 3 Unsolved Mysteries Four
I, Yu Yingwu, am not a passive person. I must take the initiative! I sorted out the causes and consequences of the incident and decided not to go through Yuan Yichen this time. I would go to the museum to check the information of Meng Hun and Yan Yimu. But when I ran to the museum excitedly, the people in the museum kept silent about Meng Hun and Yan Yimu. I didn't have any special documents, so I hit a snag in the end.
It seems that I can only follow Yan Yimu. He follows me, so I can follow him too! I glanced at Yan Yimu who was listening attentively, and made a tracking plan in my mind.
"Yan Yimu, where do you live?" I asked with a smile.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Yan Yimu showed a cold expression.
I hung my head. Wouldn't it be a death wish to ask him directly?! If I were discovered, I would have to pretend that we met by chance. If that didn't work, I would just say that I had a crush on him?!
I held the pen and wrote and drew on the paper, going through all the reasons in my mind, and then I found that I was not only suitable for drawing comics, but also for writing novels.
After struggling like this, school was soon over. Yan Yimu packed his things slowly. I didn't think it was a big deal before, but now it seems that he was deliberately the last one to leave. If he didn't leave, I wouldn't leave either, so I deliberately slowed down.
"Xiao Wu, why so slow? Hurry up!" I was racking my brains to think of how to slow down, and Xuan Qing was already urging me.
"You go first, I have something else to do." I sent Xuan Qing away with my schoolbag. This matter had nothing to do with her and I didn't want to involve her.
Xuan Qing had a Taekwondo class today, so she didn't have time to wait for me. After I finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Only Yan Yimu and I were left in the classroom, and we seemed to be in a tug-of-war.
"Are you not leaving yet?" I couldn't help but ask first. After I said it, I felt a little regretful. The one who speaks first usually suffers the most!
Yan Yimu turned his head and looked at me, and asked calmly: "Then why don't you leave ?!"
"I...let me ask you first." I asked while biting my lip. People like me have a shortcoming: I can't lie!
"You don't want to leave, okay?" Yan Yimu raised his eyebrows and a hateful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Then I'll go first." It seems that forceful fighting is no use, so I'll go out and occupy a favorable position to follow him!
I wandered around under the tree at the school gate for about ten minutes before I saw Yan Yimu slowly coming out. I suppressed my inner anxiety and slowly followed him.
Yan Yimu's route was also very confusing, sometimes going east and sometimes going west, and it felt like he had walked all over the area. I followed him and was sweating all over. I just stopped to take a breath , and when I looked up again, I couldn't see Yan Yimu anymore...
"Really..." I wiped my sweat and went to the roadside to buy an iced Coke. It was so abominable. Did he find me? No way. There were so many people around. He didn't stop or look back. I was so far away. How could he be found?
I was drinking Coke in disappointment and planning to go home. I saw an old lady struggling to take out the trash on the side of the road. I am a kind-hearted person, so I wanted to help her! So I put down my Coke and ran to help the old lady. She kept thanking me, and the wrinkles on her face were all smiles.
"There are not many girls like you nowadays. The garbage dump is so dirty that many people have to cover their noses when passing by." The old lady muttered to me while sitting on the side of the road to rest.
"Yes, but no matter how dirty or tiring the work is, someone has to do it." I also sat down and agreed, looking around. Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed in front of a window, and I reflexively hid behind the old woman.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" The old woman was frightened by my behavior.
"It's okay, it's okay, old lady. Is there a handsome young man named Yan Yimu nearby?" I asked the old lady in a low voice while hiding in the corner.
The old woman smiled even more when she heard the name: "Xiao Mu, he is really amazing, good-looking, capable, and he inherited his father's intelligence."
"Well, what does his father do?" I asked casually.
"He is a very famous detective. Now he has gone abroad, leaving Xiaomu alone to run the detective agency. It's not easy for such a young child." The old lady praised Yan Yimu.
"Detective agency? Yan Yimu's father is a detective, and he also runs a detective agency? So what is he investigating?" I was extremely confused. Is Yan Yimu a student detective, or is his student identity fake? What is he investigating? It can't be me and Menghun!
"He investigates some trivial matters, such as if a neighbor's dog is lost or a cat runs away. He can solve those problems. As for other things, I don't know." The old woman said, massaging her leg.
I couldn't help laughing when I thought of the scene of Yan Yimu chasing cats and looking for dogs. Now I finally have some clues and I will continue to investigate slowly. So I thanked the old lady with satisfaction.
When I got home, I received a call from my mother. She told me that my grandfather was much better and asked me to call him and ask him what I wanted to know.
I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, and I still miss him a little. Listening to his familiar voice, I feel warm in my heart.
"Grandpa, how are you recently? I miss you so much." I started to act coquettishly.
Grandpa's voice sounded very cheerful: "Xiao Wu, you are just sweet-talking. You must come to see grandpa during the holidays. As for what you asked, our family really has a long history, which seems to be traced back to the Han Dynasty. There is an introduction to some of our family's history in a book, you can find it and take a look. It seems that the mysterious abilities of our family are passed down to daughters but not sons, but your mother does not have any special abilities."
"A mysterious ability that is passed down to girls but not boys. How magical!" I held the phone with full of curiosity.
"Well, I also just heard it as a legend. I have never encountered it." Grandpa answered with a smile, then told me the name of the book and hung up the phone to go exercise.
I wondered whether I should make an appointment with Yuan Yichen, but after thinking it over, I decided that I should go and take a look first. After all, it is my family history, and I always felt that Yuan Yichen was hiding something from me.
The next day, I woke up early. I didn't have to go to school on the weekend, so I could spend the whole day in the library. Before leaving, I took out the comic book and put it in my bag. I don't know why, but I always felt that Yan Yimu in the comic book was calling me.
There are usually not many people in the library in the morning, so I went straight to the history area and saw Yan Yimu and Yuan Yichen. They were staring at each other angrily, and there seemed to be flashes of fire in their eyes.
"that……"
I spoke weakly, standing far away for fear of being hurt. Could it be that they knew each other? Did they have a deep grudge against each other?
"Xiao Wu, you're here."
When Yuan Yichen saw me, his expression relaxed and he walked over to greet me gently, while Yan Yimu snorted coldly and left.
"I...I came to find a book to read."
I stammered, feeling filled with nervousness.
"Yu Yingwu, if you have any brains, stay away from him." Yan Yimu came back at some point and yelled at me.
I stood there awkwardly, a little at a loss, and Yuan Yichen yelled back, "I'd be a fool to listen to you!"
"Well, I'd better read by myself!" I took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Yuan Yichen, but I didn't provoke Yan Yimu. My goal was to read a book quietly!
