Chapter 2354: 2168: Sinister Wizard

That night, Li Qianqian drove back to Jin University by herself, while Ye Qiu practiced cultivation in his room. Actually, Lin Xiang, who was sleeping in another room, felt a bit nervous. Would Ye Qiu suddenly break into her room in the middle of the night? Before, there were Ye Weidong and his wife, Xiaomai, and the others, but now it was just the two of them alone.

Ye Qiu had no idea what Lin Xiang was thinking; he was just cultivating.

Originally, Li Qianqian had wanted to stay, but Ye Qiu sent her off.

The next morning, when Ye Qiu just woke up and went downstairs, he realized Xiaomai and his parents still hadn’t returned.

Ye Qiu wasn’t going to school today; instead, he planned to visit that Mountain Lake to see what was going on.

In the kitchen fridge, he found all the ingredients for breakfast.

Things like eggs, sausages, and there was beef too.

But the beef was frozen and not fresh anymore.

Ye Qiu made two simple breakfasts, and when he called Lin Xiang downstairs, she looked at him with slight annoyance.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"It’s nothing." Lin Xiang realized she was overthinking things.

After Lin Xiang finished breakfast, she went back to class.

Compared to Malaysia, where Jin University is a higher institution, classes here are very strict. Skipping or being late would definitely affect one’s studies.

As Lin Xiang drove to Jin University, Ye Qiu was outside in the yard feeding the fish.

Around eight o’clock, Zhao Ruxue called, saying: "Ye Qiu, come quickly, the lake at Mountain Lake is almost drained."

The drainage had started yesterday afternoon, and by this morning, it had been over ten hours. Also, with both sluices open, no matter how much water there was in Mountain Lake, it wouldn’t take long to run dry.

"I’ll head over."

Ye Qiu got in his car and drove towards the location.

Now, he could only park the car by the roadside, as many areas below were flooded with water from Mountain Lake.

Moreover, he had to walk from another direction to get there.

Upon arrival, there were numerous police officers from the City Police Bureau and other department personnel watching.

For those unaware, it might look like they were draining the water to catch fish, but those who knew better understood it wasn’t the case.

As Ye Qiu arrived, Zhao Ruxue hurried over and said, "We’ve vaguely seen quite a few things."

"Human remains and such."

"It seems so."

Ye Qiu followed along.

The drainage was ongoing, and some needed to be pumped out using machines.

Around ten in the morning, the water in Mountain Lake was nearly gone.

No one touched anything for now.

But there were many places in the lake where bones were clustered together. How long these remains had been there and who left them was still uncertain.

Now, forensic experts were collecting them for further examination.

It might even require DNA analysis.

Ye Qiu had been watching closely; he believed this was no ordinary event.

Surely it was caused by man.

Who could be so malicious?

Ye Qiu wasn’t sure yet.

Zhao Ruxue noticed Ye Qiu’s silence but didn’t say anything; she suspected Ye Qiu might know something.

As they left, when Zhao Ruxue got into Ye Qiu’s car, she asked, "Did you notice anything?"

"I can’t confirm yet whether it’s a Feng Shui arrangement or something else."

A Feng Shui arrangement?

What exactly was going on?

Using Mountain Lake and those bones?

"Only a very vicious wizard could do something like this, and it might just be a Feng Shui setup."

A very vicious wizard?

Zhao Ruxue was even more puzzled.

But with Ye Qiu absorbing so much Soul Consciousness, he could see some issues at a glance.

As for whether it was connected to the recent cases of desiccated bodies?

He couldn’t be certain either.

Last night, Zhao Ruxue worked overtime until midnight and arrived at Mountain Lake early this morning.

Originally busy due to the desiccated body cases, with this new case of remains at the lake, Zhao Ruxue’s workload seemed to have increased.

"My sister said if you have time, you should find her."

Zhao Rubing?

Ye Qiu hadn’t seen her in a long time.

Of course, Zhao Ruxue wasn’t very fond of the two being together because she could see her sister seemed to have some feelings for Ye Qiu.

If so, wouldn’t it be awkward if she and Ye Qiu were together?

"I’ll drop by her bar tonight."

Ye Qiu hadn’t been to Norwegian Forest in a long time and wondered how the bar was doing.

After driving Zhao Ruxue back to the City Police Bureau, Ye Qiu headed to the Jin University Campus.

Once at the Jin University male dormitory, Ye Qiu parked his car, just in time for a meal. With Xiaomai not home, he surely had to eat at the cafeteria.

Ye Qiu headed to Cafeteria No. 1.

As he was about to take out his meal card, which he had in his wallet and had topped up substantially, he hadn’t spent much and might as well leave it with Liu Lingxiu to use.

A wave of fragrance arrived, and Ye Qiu knew it was Su Luoluo.

However, Ye Qiu acted as if he didn’t see her at all.

For Su Luoluo, whether it was in this life or his previous life, he might have felt differently about her, but now Ye Qiu saw it all indifferently.

As he was getting his food, piling his tray with several dishes, and finding a table to sit at, Su Luoluo sat down right next to him.

Currently, her two friends Bai Yun and Hai Dong hadn’t arrived, so she was alone.

She’d heard about Ye Qiu’s class trip incident.

If it weren’t for the unfinished building incident with the Su Family’s Su Group, Su Luoluo wouldn’t have believed any of it. But that unfinished building problem nearly caused a financial crisis for the Su Group, and later Ye Qiu helped resolve it. He even bought up large sections of surrounding land, which now significantly benefited the Su Group.

Not to mention, Ye Qiu’s abilities and foresight made Su Luoluo admire him even more.

The last time, her grandfather fell into a coma, and it was Ye Qiu who treated him, leading to her current meeting with Ye Qiu.

Of course, Su Luoluo knew Ye Qiu wouldn’t actively seek her out.

"I heard about your class trip."

Su Luoluo said.

Ye Qiu glanced at her and continued eating without saying a word.

"I believe there are a lot of strange things in this world." Su Luoluo added.

"Just say what you want to say." Ye Qiu said coldly.

"My family wants to meet you."

Ye Qiu didn’t care who in the Su family wanted to meet him, he still said, "I don’t have time."

Even if he had time, Ye Qiu wasn’t inclined to meet them.

The four major families of Jinling might have been impressive before, but now, in Ye Qiu’s eyes, they were nothing substantial.
