Chapter 583: 229 detained an ancestor_1

Shun Yu held the receiver in his left hand and dialed a string of numbers directly with his right.

Although he had only seen it once, he remembered Bai Lian’s number and didn’t need to look it up deliberately.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Beside him, the dean of the Chinese department sat back down, picked up his now-cold tea, and stared at Shun Yu without blinking.

The call disconnected automatically.

If Bai Lian were in the library, Shun Yu could understand an automatic disconnect due to silence mode, but she had already said she was coming to the university, so he put the receiver back on the cradle.

It was a bit strange.

Guessing that Bai Lian might be close to arriving, Shun Yu waited for a while before looking up at the dean of the Chinese department, “Dean Shu, Bai Lian wants to test into the Tongfeng class.”

Dean Shu had very short hair and sat there exuding a scholarly elegance that seemed to calm the passage of time.

Upon hearing Shun Yu’s words, he put down his tea cup and said, “I know.”

The dean did not say anything else.

Shun Yu had communicated with Bai Lian’s homeroom teacher and knew that Bai Lian was an extremely studious and respectful student after interacting with her twice.

Speaking with Bai Lian was truly comfortable, with a gentlemanly demeanor and a humility that was self-cultivating.

Shun Yu felt that she must have been influenced by great literary figures in her childhood, as this kind of cultural sophistication wasn’t possessed by just anyone. However, he also wondered which reclusive literary figure from Xiangcheng was responsible for it.

Dean Shu looking for Bai Lian did not surprise Shun Yu.

There was only one perfect-score essay this year, and he was sure the dean knew who wrote it.

Unfortunately, it was Bai Lian who wrote that essay. If it had been any other student with average grades, Dean Shu would have gone out of his way to admit the student to Jiang University’s Chinese department.

Concerned about Bai Lian, Shun Yu reached out to redial her number. This time, after two rings, the call was hung up.

His usual impassive expression vanished, and he looked down at the phone for several seconds before pressing the redial—

“Hello, the number you have dialed is now switched off…”

This time it went straight to voicemail. Shun Yu stood up and put the receiver down.

“What’s wrong?” Dean Shu saw his uneasy expression.

“Her phone has been switched off by someone,” Shun Yu said, his face growing dark as he took out his own phone.

It had been switched off by someone, not her.
