Sang Qingxiao keenly sensed Yue's implied meaning.
"People, huh? What about you? What do you think of him?"
There was once a rumor that he bullied other students.
"Is the rumor credible?"
"I haven't looked into it. I can't say if it's true or false; I've just vaguely heard it a few times, and then it faded away."
"But you still paid attention to those rumors, and deep down, you believed them to some extent, right?"
Yue nodded. "I once heard the sounds of children crying and laughing in anger. When I went over, I saw a group of kids gathered together, including Yue Ting. They were about to leave, and I didn't see anyone making a move or hear what they were saying clearly, but I still remember the bruises on the crying child's face."
"Your inner speculation should be more credible."
"A child who has lived under constant abuse from his father will inevitably harbor some darkness within."
Yue had said all he could and went back to the cellar to tend to his barrels of wine. Misha, unable to sit still, helped out and learned quite a bit about brewing in the process. They even discussed the wine business, and it seemed their conversation was going well.
Since Misha arrived, Sang Qingxiao had grown accustomed to entrusting many tasks to him. No matter how Misha negotiated prices or packaged the products, just based on their superior quality compared to Nectar, they always managed to fetch a good price.
Qi Xiaomian came again at night, knocking on Sang Qingxiao's door once more.
"What happened? Are you injured or poisoned?" Sang Qingxiao asked with concern.
"Don't you wish for me a little?" Qi Xiaomian replied with a smile.
"In the middle of the night, is this really such an urgent matter?"
Seeing that Qi Xiaomian was in good spirits, Sang Qingxiao smiled back. "Have you finished everything?"
"Almost."
"Well then, I suppose you've settled a worry of yours. Let me guess: since you've finished your business, you're here to bid farewell?"
"Not quite finished; I've only gotten one answer. The matter still needs resolving, so I'm not here to say goodbye just yet. I still need to go with you all afterward."
Sang Qingxiao was puzzled. "So you're just passing through?"
"We'll see after we walk for a bit."
"Suit yourself."
Qi Xiaomian handed a book to Sang Qingxiao.
"What is this?"
"Weren't you going to have me look into the Men's Wedding Dress Case?"
"That was quick." Sang Qingxiao glanced at the thickness of the book. "Your subordinates are becoming more capable. It's only been a few hours, and you've gathered so much information."
"This contains the Government case files. I copied some of it secretly, but it's not complete. Others are still rushing in from out of town. By dawn, I should have all the case files laid out before you."
"I also heard some news from Yue today." Sang Qingxiao noticed the fatigue etched on Qi Xiaomian's brow. "Never mind, I won't say more. You should go rest. I'm just curious about this case and wanted to take a look myself, so I won't delay your work."
"I've also developed some interest in this case."
