The next day.
Yi Yu looked even worse. His pale face had taken on a dark, bluish cast, making him look like a living corpse.
Qin Manjiang took him to the airport. After watching the plane take off, he took out his phone and called Qin Manyi.
"Are you at the airport yet?"
Qin Manjiang asked as soon as the call connected.
"I know, I know! You've already sent three messages and called twice. I'm already waiting at the airport!" A hint of dissatisfaction crept into Qin Manyi's voice. She wasn't unhappy about Qin Manjiang arranging for her to pick someone up. It was just that her brother seemed to think she would mess things up, constantly calling to remind her.
"Okay. Help me look after him. If he wants to leave, don't go with him," Qin Manjiang instructed.
"Who am I picking up, anyway, Older Brother?" Qin Manyi asked curiously. "Is he a friend you made in the Eye Realm?"
"Sort of."
"Either he is or he isn't. What do you mean, sort of..." Qin Manyi muttered.
"All right, I'm leaving him to you. I have things to do. Talk later."
"Hey, wait! Older Brother!" Qin Manyi hurriedly stopped Qin Manjiang before he could hang up.
"What is it?" Qin Manjiang asked.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask... when are you coming back to Moon City? That young police officer came looking for you."
"Fang Xiu?" Qin Manjiang thought of the young criminal police officer. "What did he say?"
"He asked where you'd gone, but I didn't tell him. Then I asked what he wanted, but he wouldn't tell me either. He just asked me to tell you he'd made an important discovery..." Qin Manyi sounded as though she was recalling the conversation.
An important discovery...
