Jiang Peiqin quickly ended the call and came over, her expression not too good.

Xinyan looked at her: "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Peiqin sighed lightly: "It’s nothing major, just my grandfather’s health hasn’t been too good lately, and I’m a bit worried."

Xinyan stood up and patted her shoulder: "After the training camp, I’ll accompany you to check it out. I made some Ginseng Nourishing Pills earlier; we’ll see if they’re suitable for him."

Jiang Peiqin was very touched: "Then I’ll thank you in advance."

Xinyan looped her arm around hers: "What relationship do we have? No need for formalities between us."

She knew what the Zeng Family’s old man meant to Jiang Peiqin. With her grandfather around, she was like a little princess in the Zeng Family. Without him, even if her uncle and aunt were good to her, she would still feel uncomfortable.

After all, there was already a cousin-in-law at home, and soon the second cousin-in-law would be moving in.

Actually, she could better understand the sentiment Jiang Peiqin expressed that day upon learning she was getting married: "Once we’re back from abroad, your brother Wenhao’s health should recover, and the wedding date should be close."

Now, whenever Jiang Peiqin heard the words "wedding date," she felt a dread deep inside: "I’ll just borrow your auspicious words; after all, all the wedding preparations are done, only waiting for the groom now."

Chatting as they walked into the training room.

Just before reaching their seats, Jiang Peiqin’s face turned grim.

Xinyan followed her gaze and saw Jiang Peiqin’s leather notebook upright on the floor, and beside it, a smashed ink bottle with ink spilled everywhere.

Naturally, the ink had also splattered onto her notebook.

Now, not only Jiang Peiqin’s face was grim, but Xinyan also furrowed her brows.

She grabbed Jiang Peiqin, who was about to walk over: "Wait."

Jiang Peiqin didn’t understand Xinyan’s meaning: "What’s up?"

Xinyan glanced ahead: "The ink’s already seeped into the notebook; better let someone handle it."

Jiang Peiqin instantly understood Xinyan’s intention. There were twenty people in the training, but only ten could stay, and there was an assessment tonight.

The notebook was clearly resting properly in the desk pocket, so why had it suddenly fallen to the floor?

Xinyan saw Jiang Peiqin understood, then spoke: "Tonight, you can use my notebook to study first."

Jiang Peiqin nodded: "Luckily I have you."

She glanced at the mess on the floor and pulled Xinyan to leave.

They walked to an office not far away and knocked a few times.

Jiang Peiqin called from outside: "Report."

A voice replied from inside: "Come in."

She pushed the door open and went in.

Instructor Xiao, in charge of this training, asked: "Jiang, is there something up?"

Jiang Peiqin recounted what she saw earlier: "I want to ask you to come over and take a look; I suspect it wasn’t accidental."

As soon as she said this, the few people in the office exchanged glances, all understanding that if it wasn’t accidental, someone must have done it intentionally, which is a character issue.

Instructor Xiao’s expression turned serious: "Let’s go and check it out."

A group of people returned to the training room, and upon entering, saw the scene on the floor; naturally, they could tell it was deliberate.

Instructor Xiao walked a few steps further and realized there was not only one victim; there was another notebook in the bucket usually used for water.

Looking up, he noticed an army green bag with its mouth open, facing outward. At first glance, it seemed like it hadn’t been packed well, and the notebook fell right into the bucket.

This bucket usually had water only when cleaning, yet there was some water in it now; what a coincidence.

Instructor Xiao’s face darkened further: "We’ll handle this. Don’t move anything."

He glanced at his wristwatch: "Everyone will come back soon, but the cafeteria should be serving meals already; please go eat first."

Today’s matter shouldn’t be taken lightly; once investigated thoroughly, who knows how long it’ll take.

The two were smart, naturally understanding Instructor Xiao’s meaning.

After they left, Instructor Xiao turned to the two other staff members: "What do you think of this matter?"
