The smell of disinfectant in the infirmary mingled with the fragrance of osmanthus drifting in through the window as Su Yao's hand holding her phone trembled slightly. The video of Teacher Shen Qing confronting the Black-robed Man played on a loop in her mind. The glow of the Jade Pendant on Shen Qing's chest was identical to her own; this was no coincidence. Noticing her distress, Lin Yu reached out and gently pressed her trembling shoulder. "Don't think too much about it. Focus on recovering first."
Zhao Ya leaned in, her eyes bright. "I bet Teacher Shen's Jade Pendant holds a huge secret! It might even help us find the mastermind behind the scenes. Oh, right, the school anniversary gala starts tonight—we might find new clues there." She waved the evening's program sheet in her hand, which was densely covered with various notes and annotations.
A thought stirred in Su Yao's heart, and she struggled to get out of bed. "I'm going too. Every second counts now; we can't wait any longer." Lin Yu wanted to stop her, but looking into her resolute eyes, he ultimately just silently helped her straighten her clothes. "Then let's be careful. What happened last time shows that they've already set their sights on us."
