Suspect

Besides children and women aged 14 to under 18 who go missing, and cases involving trafficking, mentally sound adults can also be reported missing at any time, but the police will wait 24 hours before opening a case.

Why are girls who are fourteen years old but under eighteen also called women? This is a term used by the Supreme Court. So the common saying that someone is suddenly labeled a woman overnight actually lacks legal support. Once a girl turns fourteen, she can be called a woman. After that, she can only become a middle-aged woman, a middle-aged postmenopausal woman, or an elderly woman.

Guan Yuan is clearly neither a child nor a woman aged fourteen to eighteen, unless there is the most direct evidence, such as a witness seeing him being abducted, or receiving a ransom note from the kidnappers... The chances of an ordinary college student encountering either of these situations are too small.

Bai Hui explained in detail that after having barbecue, Bai Hui and her group went to a karaoke bar. Despite the unpleasant incident, everyone seemed to have more fun without Guan Yuan. It must be a pleasant thing that there was one less person in the group who always tried to appear more mature and composed.

After eating, drinking, and having fun, it naturally got late at night. You can go back to your dorm at Xiangtan University whenever you want, but you'll get scolded by the dorm supervisor. After the boys and girls went back to their rooms separately and got scolded, the boys mentioned that Guan Yuan hadn't returned to the dorm.

At first, nobody paid any attention. Maybe they were just feeling down and went to an internet cafe to spend the night. That's how students usually vent their emotions. They rarely go to places like massage parlors or bars to let loose like adults do.

The second day of military training was a bit tough, but it was common to stay up all night during military training. When I was young, staying up all night in internet cafes was addictive. Sometimes, even without any clear purpose, I would want to go to an internet cafe, smell the peculiar smell of internet cafe cigarettes, and randomly click the mouse all night.

She sent Guan Yuan a message, but he didn't reply. She called him, but he didn't answer. It wasn't until midnight when Li Hongman got up to use the bathroom that she felt a little worried and tried calling Guan Yuan again. This time the call went through, but a policeman answered.

It turned out that a police officer had found Guan Yuan's phone.

"You mean Li Hongman made a phone call, discovered Guan Yuan's phone was missing, and then the police found it... that's the whole story?" Liu Chang'an thought Bai Hui was incredibly lucky. If he hadn't been sawing wood but was sleeping, and had been woken up by such a phone call in the middle of the night, he would have considered Bai Hui a piece of wood to be sawed down when he got to school today.

"No... I mean, Guan Yuan might be missing, and you had a conflict with him. Now that the police have reappeared, isn't it possible that they might list you as a criminal suspect?" Bai Hui noticed that Liu Chang'an wasn't as perceptive as she was in identifying the key point, and hurriedly reminded him.

Liu Chang'an remained silent for a moment, then all his unspoken words condensed into one sentence. "Screw you, Mom!"

Liu Chang'an generally doesn't swear, except when playing mahjong or Pao Hu Zi, where he might use some colloquialisms, like "idiot 13" at most, so he never actually said it out loud.

"Goodbye." Liu Chang'an hung up the phone and turned it off. The saw in his hand moved even faster. He realized that just like Gao Dewei disliked Miao Yingying, Liu Chang'an really couldn't accept having a fairy like Bai Hui by his side.

Yes, from then on, Bai Hui and Zhu Juntang were both considered fairies.

As dawn broke, Liu Chang'an temporarily stopped. He didn't compromise when making things; a bed certainly wasn't something that could be finished by simply piecing together three wooden planks into an "h" shape.

Zhou Dongdong ran downstairs to deliver soy milk. During the summer vacation, Zhou Shuling and Liu Chang'an sold rice noodles together, and they usually had breakfast together, so Zhou Dongdong didn't need to deliver it to their door. The newly opened rice noodle shop didn't plan to sell soy milk, but Zhou Shuling thought that Liu Chang'an was also growing and was currently in military training, so she started making soy milk again in the morning.

Zhou Dongdong didn't tie her hair up today. Zhou Shuling used a small airplane hair clip to hold down the part that she had tied up yesterday, but a strand of hair still stubbornly stood up, bobbing up and down as she ran.

"Brother Chang'an, you're building with huge blocks at home!" Zhou Dongdong exclaimed in surprise. "What huge blocks!"

Liu Chang'an drank his soy milk, watching her crane her neck in surprise with her hands behind her back. There was nothing to explain to Zhou Dongdong; let her think what she wanted.

Liu Chang'an carried the wheat porridge and chili sauce outside to dry. Zhou Shuling called from upstairs if he wanted to come up for breakfast, and Liu Chang'an said he would eat at school.

After changing into his military training uniform, Liu Chang'an went to the school and tried what was supposedly the best rice noodles in several canteens. In reality, it was just ordinary Jinshi beef noodles. Liu Chang'an also ordered a tiger-skin egg, which is a standard topping at Jinshi beef noodle shops.

After finishing his noodles, Liu Chang'an took a walk on campus. He came to a sweet osmanthus tree, which had bloomed earlier than its peers. Its fragrance filled the air, so rich it seemed to condense into nectar, attracting many bees and butterflies. An elderly man with a full head of white hair stood under the tree, holding a ladder. A boy of about fifteen or sixteen, with a cloth bag around his neck, climbed up the tree and was carefully picking the sweet osmanthus blossoms one by one, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of damaging the leaves or startling the bees nearby.

"I pick a little every year. It smells wonderful in books, and I can make a sachet to put in my wardrobe. It's also great for making tea..." The old man began to speak, seemingly because Liu Chang'an was looking around. It sounded like he was explaining something, but also like he was talking to himself.

Liu Chang'an walked over and encountered Qin Yanan riding a bicycle. When she saw Liu Chang'an, she stopped and slid off the seat at an angle. Her full hips made people wonder if the seat design had not taken into account the comfort needs of mature women.

"Why can't I get through to you on the phone?" Qin Yanan asked with a smile.

"It's off, isn't it?" Liu Chang'an remembered Bai Hui's call last night and took out his phone to turn it on.

"It's nothing, what about your pre-employment physical exam?" Qin Yanan asked, as she hadn't yet had her pre-employment physical exam.

"It's nothing. The physical exams before the college entrance exam are very basic, and the physical exams in college are even less so. If this can detect any abnormalities, then that's a good thing... If you don't mind the trouble, could you please arrange for the materials to be replaced for the lab tests?" Liu Chang'an squinted at the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the osmanthus tree, which seemed to carry its fragrance as well.

Sunlight, of course, couldn't possibly have a fragrance. Liu Chang'an sniffed; it was Qin Yanan's scent, an indescribable fragrance—whether it was the scent of her skin, her hair, or the warmth of her breath.

It's not as strong as the osmanthus fragrance; it's a bit lighter, with a subtle, fresh woody scent, and it's also a layered aroma.

"So, does this count as our Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect's first operation?" Qin Yanan suddenly asked excitedly.

"Whatever you say goes." Liu Chang'an laughed.

Perhaps feeling that her excitement was somewhat immature and childish, Qin Yanan, slightly embarrassed, held the bicycle with one hand and tidied her hair.

"Will you have trouble getting the needle in when you're getting your blood drawn?" Qin Yanan asked with curiosity and concern.

"Yes, you can, but you need extremely precise control over your body." Liu Chang'an looked at Qin Yanan. "You don't have the ability to control your thick skin?"

"What kind of 'thick-skinned' ability is that? It sounds awful," Qin Yanan complained, not entirely pleased. "I don't know how to control it."

"Take it slow. Many things will come naturally, like breathing, finding a breastfeeding vessel, and drinking milk—it's all so natural."

Can you teach me?

"I can teach you, but I need to pinch your skin to make you feel and guide your nerve control. You can't handle this kind of stimulation; you'll make a complete fool of yourself, lose control of your bladder and bowels, and experience... a tumultuous, dramatic, and uncontrollable orgasm. The saying 'men and women shouldn't touch each other' refers to this situation. You can't do it; it's only possible with intimate partners," Liu Chang'an said calmly. "You're quite good at pushing your bicycle."

"Did you really need to use three consecutive 'old geezer'?" Qin Yanan's cheeks flushed red. And what could have been a more abrupt change of topic than praising someone for pushing their bicycle well?

"The Pacific Ocean is heartbreaking."

"Pah, that's an old joke from the 90s." Qin Yanan found Liu Chang'an to be quite a rogue at times, glared at him, and rode away on her bicycle.

Liu Chang'an didn't flirt with Qin Yanan; he just wanted to be more subtle when talking to the young girl. It was rare for him to be considerate of other people's feelings.

Liu Chang'an didn't pay attention to whether Qin Yanan arrived by car or bicycle, but the others did. They thought Qin Yanan's hip movements while riding a bicycle were particularly beautiful, and they couldn't help but discuss it. At the same time, some people said that even Professor Liu Yuewang's catwalk was more beautiful... Teachers would also perform at some large-scale cultural and recreational events at the school.

Bai Hui called again. Liu Chang'an thought for a moment and decided to answer. If her calls were always this unreliable, he'd give her a choice between a saw and a blacklist.

"Finally got through!" Bai Hui said with a sigh of relief.

"Morning."

"You hung up the phone last night, and I remembered I had something to say, so I called back, but your phone was off... I fell asleep worriedly, and then I had a dream that you sawed the Guan Yuan into many, many pieces," Bai Hui said with lingering fear.

"From now on, you can send me these things via text message. I generally won't read them," Liu Chang'an said calmly.

"But Guan Yuan really disappeared all night and hasn't shown up yet. All the classmates who were with Guan Yuan last night were called together by the counselor to ask about the situation. I feel that if he still hasn't shown up by the afternoon, the counselor will also ask you about the situation." Bai Hui actually had something important to say.

"Yes, I'll cooperate fully."

"Goodbye." Sensing Liu Chang'an's extremely calm tone, Bai Hui recalled her dream from last night. Sometimes, Liu Chang'an's calm, almost stagnant aura really did give off the vibe of a murder mastermind. So, Bai Hui quickly took the initiative to say goodbye.

Liu Chang'an was willing to cooperate, but he didn't care at all. He went straight to the dormitory. Lin Feng was removed from his post, and Liu Chang'an had to step down and make way for someone else. So Wei Xuanyi from their dormitory became the temporary person in charge of military training.

Qin Yanan had put thought into this arrangement. She realized that she couldn't have someone like Lin Feng as the person in charge of military training anymore, to avoid conflict with Liu Chang'an. He was probably closer to her in the dormitory and knew about her relationship with Liu Chang'an. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't be as stupid as Lin Feng.

And that was indeed the case; when Wei Xuanyi started calculating his perfect attendance and leave records, he didn't pay any attention to Liu Chang'an at all.

Sun Shutong was somewhat envious of Wei Xuanyi, while Qin Zhiqiang didn't care about such things, sighing and complaining about not getting any goods after sending 648, being incredibly unlucky, and having his mother delivered to his door.

In the afternoon, Bai Hui's class counselor really came to find Liu Chang'an. Guan Yuan had been unreachable. Although no one really suspected that Liu Chang'an would cause Guan Yuan's disappearance, it was impossible for someone who had a conflict with Guan Yuan before her disappearance not to find out what happened from Liu Chang'an.
