"Doctor Xu! Doctor Xu!"
Xu Ye had just closed the door and had yet to calm his emotions or soothe his restless body when a loud, urgent voice suddenly rang out in the stairwell.
Li Wan?
What's he doing here?
Since the King of the Underworld recognized me, he shouldn't be suspicious of me anymore. Instructor Shen and the others will probably ease up on their investigation, too. Besides, I appeared as Doctor Xu...
No problems for now.
He opened the door reluctantly. The Landlord and Ivy were still outside.
Xu Ye smiled at them, then looked toward the stairs. Li Wan, with his few remaining strands of hair, was hauling suitcases and bags up the stairs, panting heavily.
"What brings you here?" Xu Ye asked.
"I... moved here. That house was too big. Living alone felt uncomfortable, so I thought I'd move here... You must be the Landlord. I contacted you online earlier. My name's Li Wan. I rented Room 2101 for a year. I work in logistics for the Federation Bureau of Investigation. Here's my ID."
"Doctor Xu and I are friends."
"You're even prettier than your photos online. Zhou Nian-that's a lovely name, too."
Li Wan had been talking to Xu Ye, but a second later, his gaze was drawn to Zhou Nian beside him and stuck to her like a magnet.
Zhou Nian tossed her hair and said calmly, "Zhou Nian is a fake name. My name's Iron Root."
Li Wan immediately looked constipated.
He obediently handed over his identification.
Li Wan chuckled and whispered to Xu Ye, "Doctor Xu, now I know why you live here. Your landlady's gorgeous! If I'd known, I'd have moved in sooner."
Xu Ye: "..."
You'll regret messing with the Landlord.
Neither of them discussed business. This wasn't the place
