Chapter 1973 — Still Gloom-Faced

"So that's how it is." Sun Jingyan nodded. "By the way, last night I did some comparing, and I found that the map... it seems to be the Wulonghaote Mountains. But it was too late last night and I couldn't find a detailed chart. I haven't been up long, and in a bit I plan to search online again for a more detailed map..."
"Oh? You've already found it?" Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised. Sun Jingyan made it sound easy, but she had probably worked until the small hours before sleeping. Still, that she had located the map's position so quickly was truly unexpected.
"Perhaps because it may hold the secret of my parents, I was naturally anxious..." Sun Jingyan smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I understand. Tell me when you set out, and I'll go with you," Wei Zhao said.
"Thank you..." Sun Jingyan said gratefully.
"Though it may have to wait — at the very least, until this business with the Hidden Han family is over," Wei Zhao said after a moment's thought.
"That doesn't matter. We can go whenever. And besides, it isn't necessarily the Wulonghaote Mountains — I only thought the terrain looked somewhat similar," Sun Jingyan said. "I may need a while longer to be sure."
After lunch, Sun Jingyan went back to her room, while Wei Zhao made ready to return to school. Once outside the hotel, he was just about to hail a taxi when he saw a middle-aged man walking quickly toward him.
"Senior Lin, Young Master Po told me to wait here and drive you back to school," the middle-aged man explained before Wei Zhao could even ask.
"Then let's go." Wei Zhao nodded. He had not expected Han Xiaohu to be so attentive — even after leaving, he had sent someone to pick him up and take him back to school.
The middle-aged man was driving an Audi A8. He respectfully invited Wei Zhao into the car, said little else, drove him straight back to school, and then took his leave.
When Wei Zhao returned to the dormitory, he found Bai Weituo still sitting at his desk, his face a mask of gloom.
"Old Bai, what's wrong with you now?" Wei Zhao looked at Bai Weituo in puzzlement. Hadn't the matter been settled? Why was the fellow not off rehearsing with the class, but instead sighing and moaning in the dormitory?
"Brother Lin, you're back?" The moment Bai Weituo saw Wei Zhao, a flicker of joy appeared on his face. "Brother Lin, I told our classmates the news that I'd invited the big star Xu Shilan. Everyone was thrilled when they heard — but then You Panhu had to jump out and make trouble. He said, who is Xu Shilan, anyway? She's never even held a concert in Donghai, and to hear of her taking part in some little event like this is unheard of. So he claims I made the whole thing up just to boost class morale — and that my real aim was to compete with Zhang Duopan over a girl."
"And then?" Wei Zhao frowned, thinking that You Panhu simply would not settle down; all day long, all he did was sing the opposite tune to Wei Zhao and the others.
