章 1017: There Must Be A Big Secret

"No, I got this feeling that there's a big secret lurking behind all of this. Otherwise, why would you be so deeply invested in unravelling it? It's weird, isn't it? Professor Su is widely known for his gentle and scholarly demeanour. What could lead to a conflict with your second uncle? Something just doesn't add up."

As for Song Jiaming, he was a relic of the past, his reputation somewhat elevated due to pity for his crippled legs.

"Indeed, it's unreasonable," Song Jinyan remarked, blowing smoke rings that gracefully filled the air.

What heightened his appeal further was his earnest expression, devoid of any pretence. He exuded seriousness, adding to his allure.

"But is that reason enough?" Song Shan asked, puzzled. "To investigate your uncle for years just because it seems unreasonable to you?"

She pondered whether sensitivity or suspicion would serve her better—perhaps a hint of arrogance would have been preferable!
