Chapter 5

I was grinding my molars so hard I nearly cracked them. College students really had no sense!

Under normal circumstances, weren’t you supposed to say, “Then I definitely can’t let you work for nothing,” and name a price?

Then I would refuse a few times, and you would insist on paying me no matter what.

What was this supposed to be?

Just my bad luck.

Regret written all over my face, I let Ling Ling drag me back to our seats.

“Cousin, don’t worry. Master Qiao will definitely be able to help you!”

Her cousin nodded.

“I want you to help me find Jiang Qian first.”

“I’ve already searched for everyone who had any connection to Shen Haixin. She’s the only one left, but I don’t have her contact information.”

The information her cousin could provide was extremely limited.

All she knew was that Jiang Qian was from Huai’an City. She had no idea which county or village specifically, only that there should be a river or lake near the village.

Because Shen Haixin had once mentioned in passing that the year Jiang Qian was born, the water level had been especially shallow, so her father had given her that name.

Seeing that Ling Ling and I were gradually starting to believe her, her cousin’s condition improved a lot. She took out a map of Huai’an, with many locations marked on it.

Ling Ling took one look and sighed.

“Sis, where in Nanjiang isn’t there a river or a lake? Every village has one, doesn’t it? Are you planning to search them one by one?”

“There’s no way you’ll find her like that!”

“You’d be better off finding someone from Huai’an and asking around. Huh-”

Ling Ling suddenly looked up.

“Who’s from Huai’an in our class?”

I thought for a moment, then said with certainty, “Jiang Haoyan. His hometown is Huai’an!”

Ling Ling’s face lit up with surprise.

“Then let’s ask him for help. His family is so rich, so they must have a lot of influence in Huai’an too. Having him help us find someone would be way better than us stumbling around like blind cats, right?”

Jiang Haoyan was the campus heartthrob at our school, and his family was extremely well-off. It would indeed be convenient to ask him to handle something like this.

There was only one problem. After going through a few adventures with me, he had set his heart on becoming my disciple.

But he didn’t have the aptitude. I was afraid that if I kept bringing him along, it would only give him false hope, so the last few times I went out, I basically didn’t take him with me.

But now, it seemed I still had to trouble him after all.

I sent Jiang Haoyan a message.

“You there?”

He replied instantly.

“Here!”

“Qiao Moyu, you finally remembered me?”

“What do you need me for?”

“Did you take on some big job again? I’m free. I’ll go with you. I’ll buy a plane ticket right now.”

Before I could reply, a voice call came through.
