"Teacher, I think that Mr. Hu is inside! Heās very likely here for me. I canāt go in now. After you go in, just say I have a bit of a stomachache and will come by later!"
"What? Did you see him?"
"What if I say I sensed it, would you believe me?"
"You girl, donāt joke about such things."
"Iām not joking." Chiang Xiao said, a little worried, "Teacher, when dealing with that man, be a bit careful. If thereās no other way and he asks you something, just answer truthfully. Donāt try too hard to cover it up, because Iām afraid he might catch on and it might be bad for you."
"What are you babbling about?" Liu Guoying was annoyed, "Do you think Iām afraid of this?"
"This is the most correct approach. Itās not about fear. Really, do as I say."
"Alright, alright, do you really think I canāt handle this?" Liu Guoying waved his hand.
He truly didnāt believe that just by talking, he would be unable to handle it. It wasnāt as if he had to fight themāif it came to fighting, sheād definitely be out of her depth.
Chiang Xiao watched him enter the room, still feeling a vague sense of worry.
However, she thought perhaps that person was coming for her, likely to verify something?
Mainly, she couldnāt let herself be exposed.
Chiang Xiao immediately went to the bathroom, slipped into Space, sprayed herself with a homemade perfume to mask her scent, and stuffed a packet of dried flowers in her pocket.
Unsure of what the other person wanted, she had to make some effort anyway.
Meanwhile, Liu Guoying pushed the door open and saw a man sitting on the other side.
Dressed in a suit, his hair slicked back, beard neatly trimmed, and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, he looked quite distinguished.
Yet, the impression he gave was strange; all the visible features, like the glasses, beard, and slicked hair, stood out. But if you took off the glasses, shaved the beard, and messed up the hair, you couldnāt envision his appearance at all.
Thus, all these features might actually mean no features.
He hadnāt expected Chiang Xiao to be so perceptive, sensing this manās presence without even seeing him.
Still, he only felt that the man gave an indescribable feeling, not actually dangerous.
That said, Liu Guoying somewhat trusted his student. If Chiang Xiao said he was dangerous, then he surely was.
Not sensing it himself was merely because his ability to perceive danger wasnāt as strong.
"Teacher Liuās here." The principal glanced at the door, "Hmm, didnāt Chiang Xiao come?"
"Her?" Liu Guoying smiled wryly, "Donāt mention it, she said she ate something bad, a bit of a stomach issue, sheāll come by later."
The principal laughed heartily.
"Young people these days love snacks. Theyāre much better off than back in our day, when there werenāt any good snacks to eat."
"Thatās true." Liu Guoying said, glancing at the man, "Principal, since you have a guest, why did you call Chiang Xiao over? Should I ask her to come later?"
"No, no, Mr. Huās here specifically to see Chiang Xiao. Let me introduce you: this is Mr. Hu Xiangyong, whoās in the fashion business. Heās involved in various overseas ventures and has broad interests. Heās now back in the country to work on high-end custom clothing, like suits, cheongsams, and in jewelry and jade stone as well."
