CHAPTER 1587: CHAPTER 1588: THAT BRAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON

After the work was assigned, Du Yanan tried to find your whereabouts through some special channels, but still found nothing. As time went on, she just put it aside.

Your sudden return surprised Du Yanan for a while. During this time, you hadn’t seen each other, and this was the first meeting in many years.

As soon as you met, you started bickering, which made Du Yanan somewhat nostalgic. Back then, it was because you always argued with her that she often bullied you. After all, she’s four years older than you, girls develop early, and bullying you was really easy for her.

With guests at home, your father went out to buy some groceries to entertain them. The couple busied themselves in the kitchen, while Du Yanan took this opportunity to sit beside you, scrutinizing you with a discerning gaze.

"Violent woman, why are you looking at me like that?" you casually used the nickname you gave Du Yanan back in the day.

Du Yanan was not to be outdone, glaring at you fiercely: "Snotty, don’t think you can act high and mighty now that you’ve grown taller. Let me tell you, I can beat you to the ground in minutes."

You shrugged, showing an indifferent attitude: "I understand that a real man doesn’t fight with women. But, you’re so violent, be careful you don’t end up alone."

From childhood to adulthood, Du Yanan never won a verbal spar with you, so she stopped being verbose and got straight to the point: "I ask you, do you know Zhang San?"

"Who?"

"Zhang San."

You frowned, displaying a thoughtful expression: "Although it’s a common name, among the people I know, there’s really no one with that name."

Du Yanan was prepared, pulled out a photo from her pocket, and placed it in front of you: "This is him."

"Oh, so it’s that goofball, huh! Didn’t expect him to have such a lame name," you laughed, looking at Du Yanan, "This guy’s been pestering one of my classmates, and a few days ago, I beat him up."

Du Yanan nodded, your words didn’t differ much from the witness’s account.

She put the photo away and continued to ask, "The classmate you’re talking about is a girl, right?"

Li Qiyi, originally drinking water and reading Lao Zhan’s new book "Raising Foxes for Trouble" nearby, blinked her eyes slightly hearing this.

"Yeah, that’s right." You nodded without hiding anything.

Du Yanan didn’t expect you to be so direct; she thought you might make a few excuses since the term ’female classmate’ is quite particular. You’re still a high school student, and generally, you wouldn’t mention this to others.

"What’s her name, and what’s the relationship between you two?"

While Du Yanan was speaking, Li Qiyi’s eyes continued scanning the book, but her ears subtly turned towards you.

"What relationship?" You scratched your head, then smiled and said to Du Yanan, "If I say she’s my sister, would you believe it?"

"Nonsense, I know your family’s secrets better than anyone. Where did this sister come from?"

Du Yanan felt you’re even more annoying than when you were a kid, with this flippant and idle demeanor that was quite irritating.

"Aren’t there enough godbrothers and godsisters among the young people nowadays?" With that, you shrugged deliberately and said something that almost made Du Yanan swing a fist at you, "Oh dear, oh dear, there’s quite an age gap, you know, a generation gap!"

"You little rascal, I think you’re really asking for a beating!"

Seeing Du Yanan rolling up her sleeves to hit you, you quickly laughed and ran away, while your elder sister, Li Qiyi, promptly held Du Yanan back, laughing as she said, "Didn’t you see he’s teasing you on purpose?"

"Of course I knew, this little rascal just needs a good thrashing!" Being an adult, Du Yanan is more collected than before. Nowadays, she can handle herself outside as a beautiful criminal police officer. For her to lose control like this in front of you was quite puzzling, but she quickly blamed you for all of it.

Li Qiyi beckoned to you with a smile and said softly, "Little Yun, have a proper chat with Yanan, it’s for work after all."

Hearing your elder sister say that, you could only shrug, sit back down, and look at Du Yanan, saying, "It’s not as complicated as you think. I just happened to pass by and saw Zhang San chasing a female classmate of ours. She’s the school beauty, you know? These days, rich kids and second-generation rich kids like to chase school beauties. Usually, any decent person would step in, so I helped her out, simple as that."

You chose simple words and skipped a lot, but it didn’t escape Du Yanan’s eyes.

Du Yanan slowly took a good look at you, methodically asking, "What’s the name of that female classmate?"

"Chen Susu." You answered quite directly.

"Chen Susu?" Your mother happened to walk out of the kitchen with a cold dish, heard your words, and couldn’t help but say, "Mu Yun, how come you’re mixed up with this troubled girl?"

You had no intention to discuss your relationship with Chen Susu with your mother, as there were supernatural elements hard to explain. So, you naturally replied, "It’s not as dramatic as you think. I just saw an injustice and took action, that’s all. After I beat up Zhang San’s bodyguard, Zhang San got scared and ran away. Later, Chen Susu thanked me by treating me to tofu pudding. Of course, I wasn’t polite; after eating, I just rode my bike home."

The account matched the witness’s statements. Du Yanan thought for a moment, then circled back, focusing tightly on you, asking, "When did you get so good at fighting?"

At this point, Li Qiyi, who knew your identity, couldn’t help but be startled internally.

Your elder sister, Li Qiyi, had seen firsthand how you took out all of Leopard’s men in a very short time. Regardless of your motives, the fact remained that you had killed someone.

"I trained," you said with a plain expression. "Didn’t my sister tell you that when I ran away from home those years, I found a great master who taught me a unique skill? It took me six years to learn, and now, handling a dozen people at once is no problem."

Du Yanan knew that hermits exist in this world, and your explanation was reasonable. However, for some reason, she felt like something was missing among all of this, yet she couldn’t put her finger on it, so she temporarily set it aside, telling you, "Though I don’t know what you learned in those six years, whatever you do in the future, it must be within what’s legal, or else, I’ll throw you into the detention center!"

You shrugged as your mother and father came out carrying aromatic dishes. Du Yanan also put away her serious expression, saw the table full of food, and couldn’t help but move her fingers excitedly: "Auntie is the best; the table is full of my favorite dishes!"
