The starting point is auspicious; the fiancée will not call off the engagement.

The stars in the sky gradually surrounded the moon, and the streetlights illuminated Cheng'an as bright as day.

After Fang Zhou and Luo Chuan finished discussing things, they went their separate ways.

Looking at Cheng'an Street, Fang Zhou felt that Cheng'an was not much different from his previous life, except that it lacked entertainment.

Meow~

As soon as Fang Zhou pushed open the courtyard gate of the small building, a gentle call came from the side of the door.

Xiaoyue sat crouching on the steps, its head tilted to the side. Moonlight fell on its soft fur, casting a faint silver glow. Its amber eyes gazed at him silently, and it was unclear how long it had been waiting there.

Fang Zhou paused for a moment, then smiled, bent down, and waved to it.

Xiaoyue leaped lightly and landed steadily in his arms, her fluffy head nuzzling against his arm.

I didn't take Xiaoyue out today, leaving her alone at home. Xiaoyue is probably waiting for him at home.

Fang Zhou had specifically instructed Xiao Yue not to come looking for him today, thinking she would be back soon, but before he knew it, it was already evening.

"Have you been waiting long? I'll take you to play games tomorrow."

Fang Zhou gently stroked Xiaoyue's head, his tone filled with apology.

"Tomorrow looks like it's going to be very interesting."

Xiaoyue raised its head and looked at its master's face. It could sense the expectation in its master's eyes.

Fang Zhou put Xiao Yue back in its little nest, lay down on the bed, and quietly looked forward to tomorrow.

At this moment, Luo Chuan was hunched over his desk, biting his pen, racking his brains over a stack of blank letters.

Several crumpled pieces of paper were scattered on the table, and the dim light from the lamp illuminated his eyes.

After finishing writing the letter, I still need to figure out how to deliver it without alerting anyone.

He rubbed his aching temples, glanced at the bright moon outside the window, and thought to himself that tonight was probably going to be a very difficult night.

The next morning, before Fang Zhou even reached the school gate, he could already hear the commotion coming from the direction of the martial arts training ground.

He quickened his pace. Xiaoyue, perched on his shoulder, was startled by the sudden acceleration and quickly reached out her claws to grab his clothes tightly, letting out a dissatisfied whimper.

On the training ground, the students from the case team formed a circle.

The students outside stood on tiptoe to look ahead, while the students inside tried their best to stand firm.

Everyone's attention was focused on the girl in the middle with the high ponytail.

Lin Shuang held a letter in her hands, her cheeks flushed red, and her chest heaving violently; she was clearly furious.

"What does it say?" someone asked loudly from outside, unable to squeeze in.

Lin Shuangshuang didn't answer. She turned around and shoved the letter into the hands of the student next to her. Her voice trembled slightly as she suppressed her anger: "I can't take it. You read it."

The student took the letter, cleared his throat, and read it aloud, word by word:

"You fools in the case team, it's a pity you're destined to lose this game, because I will become your opponent. But you're also lucky, because it's already a great honor for you to have the chance to fight me once."

You don't know yet, but last night I sneaked into the school's storeroom and stole something. To prevent you fools from noticing that something is missing, I'll mercifully tell you that I took a book.

Hahaha, you fools, go find me! If you find me, I'll give you victory as a prize, but can you do that?

Signed: The genius rival of fools. Note: Playing games with you guys is a waste of my time; just give me the prize.

By the end, the student's voice was trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing anger.

As the last word fell, the atmosphere in the training ground was like a volcano about to erupt.

"Damn it, who is it?"

Finally, the volcano erupted. The student who had been reading the letter began to curse, and the angry voices of the other students rose and fell, plunging the training ground into chaos.

"Brother Fang, you've really gone all out."

Cheng Wenyuan appeared beside Fang Zhou at some point.

He crossed his arms and watched the scene of the crowd's heated discussion in the training ground, marveling at it and gaining a completely new understanding of Fang Zhou's perverse sense of humor.

No, this has nothing to do with me.

Fang Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to explain to Cheng Wenyuan.

"He did everything himself; I didn't help at all."

"Yeah?"

Cheng Wenyuan clearly did not believe it. In his view, Luo Chuan was a very honest child, and the fact that this situation had been created was obviously at Fang Zhou's behest.

"Never mind." Cheng Wenyuan patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder, too lazy to pursue the matter. "The rest is up to you. I need to go and cause some trouble for the other group."

After saying that, he looked down at Xiaoyue on Fang Zhou's shoulder, winked at it, and then a flash of spiritual light appeared around him. He changed his appearance and disappeared.

Fang Zhou seemed to be deep in thought. So he invited me in just to go out and have fun?

Fang Zhou shook his head, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and looked past the crowd to Luo Chuan in the corner of the training ground. At this moment, Luo Chuan was quietly blending into the crowd, just like usual, acting as if he were invisible.

That letter was read aloud by this kid himself. Is he letting anger cloud his opponent's judgment? That's cautious, and it certainly worked. But isn't this kid afraid of being ganged up on and beaten up by the others after the game?

Fang Zhou withdrew his gaze, walked unhurriedly to the high platform in front of the martial arts arena, and cleared his throat:

"Ahem, everyone."

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire training ground. The restless students gradually quieted down and looked up at Fang Zhou on the high platform.

"I am your instructor for today, and I believe you all know what your task is today."

Fang Zhou looked at the students below the stage, who had quieted down, and nodded in satisfaction. The morning light shone down from behind him, casting a pale golden glow on his features. He slightly curved his lips and began to announce their tasks for the day.

"Your mission is to find the criminal. The operation begins. Good luck."

After hearing Fang Zhou's words, the students began to rub their hands together, clearly eager to get started.

But they didn't act immediately because they knew that without leadership, they would be like a pile of loose sand, completely useless.

So the students began to look for a reliable person to lead the team, develop a plan, and ensure that everyone could contribute.

But young people always have their own pride, and they don't want to submit to anyone else.

Seeing them arguing, Fang Zhou didn't stop them, but only offered a reminder:

"You don't have much time. Are you sure you want to waste it arguing?"

At this moment, a very clever man looked at Fang Zhou, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly:

"We can choose Luo Chuan. He went toe-to-toe with the coach yesterday."

The students around them quickly started discussing it.

"It seems that's indeed possible; Luo Chuan is very strong."

"What's the use of being strong if you don't have a brain?"

"It's alright, as long as it can convince the public, and Luo Chuan's grades aren't bad either, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Arguing won't get us anywhere, so we might as well just choose Luo Chuan."

At this moment, Luo Chuan was quietly watching their argument in the crowd, but unexpectedly, it got dragged into his own life.

Seeing the stares from everyone, Luo Chuan couldn't hold back any longer and pointed to himself, saying:

"Me...me?"
