When Li An received Xiao Yu's call, he did not give it much thought.
"Master, what is it? Oh, right, I don't believe you haven't found the mastermind. Your fortune-telling is so powerful. How could you possibly fail to find the culprit?"

"I really don't remember what I did on the eleventh, but please believe me. I'm not lying!"
"Right, I'll ask Fang Pei. Maybe she remembers. Ever since we got together, she's kept a secret
