"You two." Chu Yilan's voice was low and slow. "How did you even..."
Chu Yilan couldn't finish.
He even ran through everything Yang Bin had once told him.

Shen Lian: "..."
Teacher Shen sprang out of his chair and raised his voice. "Director, let's hurry! I'm pressed for time!"
"Shen Lian already suspected," Sun Binghe told Yang Bin
