Chapter 927: Trip to Beidu (12)
Wu Long didn’t expect it to be so awkward. Just as he was talking about someone, he ran into them—truly, one shouldn’t speak ill of others behind their backs.
Faced with Xiu Xi’s cold gaze, he was rarely flustered and retracted the finger he had pointed out.
Duan Xin, seeing the person who had come up the steps, was also genuinely taken aback. Wu Long only felt they looked alike because he had not seen the pictures from his great-uncle’s youth.
The man before them had the green eyes unique to the Duan Family, and his features resembled those of the Duan Family members so much that Duan Xin was truly stunned. It took him quite a while to react, and only after the person below had passed by him and entered the classroom of 8th grade’s class two did he suddenly snap back to reality, chasing after him for a few steps before abruptly stopping.
The matter of Duan Family’s second master going out of town searching for someone might be unknown to outsiders—it wasn’t exactly an honorable matter, after all. The head of the Duan Family had been bedridden all his life and had never married, so how could he have children? Searching for someone would only bring back an illegitimate child, hence such matters weren’t publicized by the Duan Family.
But just because others didn’t know, that didn’t mean Duan Xin—the biological son of Duan Family’s second master—was unaware, right?!
Duan Xin’s eyes flickered as he thought of something. He grabbed Wu Long and pulled him into a corner, whispering a few words in his ear, to which Wu Long immediately slapped his chest, guaranteeing he’d accomplish the task.
During the last class, Duan Xin had learned from the information Wu Long found out where Xiu Xi had come from. However, this information was too vague to prove anything.
As soon as the school bell rang for dismissal, he couldn’t wait to run out of the school gates with his backpack and get into a car.
