Chapter 1: Partner

  "Ah!" Zheng Hanfei's eyes snapped open in terror, he threw off the covers and panted heavily, his entire body drenched with cold sweat, looking like a drowned chicken.

  "What... what kind of dream is this? Who are those two people? Why do they resemble the two figures in my mind?" Zheng Hanfei stared blankly at the ceiling, unaware of why, but every time he thought of those two people, he had a strange sense of crisis that made his heart ache, and he always felt like there was some connection between him and them.

  "Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore." Shaking his head, Zheng Hanfei paused for a few seconds before heading towards his study. With some time still left before the report was due, he wanted to hurry up and finish reading what he hadn't yet finished.

  Zheng Hanfei finally agreed to Ouyang Xi's proposal and joined the Sherlock Detective Agency. Because he always felt that his dual personality was related to the organization mentioned by Ouyang Xi, and after joining, even if there were no clues about the organization, he could still get clues about his father and gain a lot of knowledge. It was a win-win situation, unless he was an idiot, he would definitely agree.

  Perhaps Ou Yang Xi had already anticipated this, otherwise he wouldn't have such an unruffled expression.

  However, what made Zheng Hanfei most concerned was the letter in Ouyang Xiu's mouth and the mysterious person named "Ying". He had a feeling that this person named "Ying" must know some of his secrets. Fortunately, Ouyang Xiu promised him last night that he would show it to him at the detective agency today, otherwise, with Zheng Hanfei's personality, he could have followed Ouyang Xiu to his home to retrieve it.

  Creak... Zheng Hanfei pushed open the door and walked into the elegantly decorated room. There were five bookshelves in total, each four meters long and two meters high, with books neatly arranged on them. Roughly estimated, there were at least tens of thousands of volumes. If someone took a closer look, they would definitely be shocked, because all the bookshelves only displayed one type of book - detective fiction.

  Zheng Hanfei walked into a bookshelf, picked out one from it, sat on a purple sandalwood chair with a silky luster, and read it with great concentration.

  "Master? What are you doing?" At this time, Wang Bo entered the study with breakfast in hand and saw Zheng Hanfei's carefree expression, and was shocked.

  "King Bo, can't you see clearly yet?" Zheng Hanfeng waved the reasoning in his hand, "I'm looking at the reasoning."

  "Master, didn't you say you were going to Quinn Academy today?"

  "Is that so? Isn't it not time yet? Besides, being a bit late doesn't matter, I'm going to the Sherlock Detective Agency, not school." As he said this, Zheng Hanfei's eyes showed a hint of disgust. For some reason, he disliked school and had never attended one, but he had already read up to high school level through self-study. Next year, as long as he passed the college entrance exams, he could attend Oxford University in England.

  "Master, how can that be?" Wang Bo persuaded, "Kuiyin Academy is the most famous academy in Huaxia! Comparable to Cambridge University in England. Moreover, this is the only college that has improved detective reasoning skills, and it also includes junior high school, senior high school, and university, so Master, you must cherish this opportunity."

  "I know." To prevent Wang Bo from continuing his lecture, Zheng Hanfei changed the subject, "By the way, Wang Bo, do you know this person 'Ying'?"

  "I've never heard of it!" Wang Bo shook his head and handed Zheng Hanfei a cup of milk, "This should be anonymous."

  "But..." Zheng Hanfei said thoughtfully as he drank his milk, "Why does this name sound so familiar to me?"

  "Oh, right!" Wang Bo seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Young Master! Yesterday I told Miss Nan and Gu Young Master that you were going to take the entrance exam for Quinlan Academy, they said they would go to school with you today."

  "What!" Zheng Hanfei stood up, his face full of surprise, "How did you tell them about these things!"

  "They are your friends," said Wang Bo, "It's just right that the young master has someone to accompany him to and from school, so he won't be so lonely again."

  "You... Ah! Forget it!" Zheng Hanfei sighed, he knew that Wang Bo was coming from a good place, but his method was a bit too extreme for himself, like forcing himself. Unfortunately, Zheng Hanfei had forgotten, if Wang Bo didn't force him, would he have been so obedient?

  Ding dong~ At this time, the large gate transmitted a clear and crisp doorbell sound. Zheng Hanfei knew that the two of them had arrived, so he hastily snatched away Wang Bo's breakfast, grabbed the school bag on the sofa, shouted to Wang Bo "I'm leaving!", and disappeared at the entrance of the villa.

  Young master, I hope you can live a happy life, this is the old man's only wish! Looking at the disappearing back, Wang Bo couldn't help but smile.

  ……

  As soon as Zheng Hanfei walked out of the villa, he saw two people standing at the gate. One had golden hair and wore a white sports jersey, with solid muscles visible under his clothes, making him look especially tall and lean, like a bodybuilder. The other was wearing casual clothes and a blue hat, with a slender build that made her look almost like a boy if not for her long black ponytail.

  "Long time no see!" Zheng Hanfei smiled apologetically at the two of them. They were the Southern Miss and Gu Young Master mentioned by Wang Bo, whose names were Nan Ruoxuan and Gu Jie respectively. Their ages were about the same as his, and they had been good friends since childhood, you could say that they were his only close friends.

  "Haha, Xiao Fei, it's nothing, let's go!" Gu Jie patted Zheng Hanfei's shoulder and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect you to actually apply for Quinn Academy. Now it's great, we can be considered classmates."

  "Really!" Nan Ruo Xun said sweetly, "But your profile doesn't even have elementary school on it, can you get into Quinlan Academy?"

  "This... " Zheng Hanfei pondered for a moment, nodded, "Absolutely no problem!"

  Zheng Hanfei wasn't talking nonsense, with the certificate in hand, he entered Quinn Academy without any obstruction, and Ouyang Xiuxiu promised to do her best to let him in, so he didn't worry at all.

  "So what club are you planning to join?" Gu Jie said, "This is the school's rule, after enrollment, at least one club must be joined."

  "What club did you join?" Zheng Hanfei asked back.

  "It's a bit embarrassing to say." Gu Jie scratched his head awkwardly, "After enrolling, Xiaoxun and I joined the Taekwondo Club. As a result, during a practice session, we accidentally disabled the club president and vice-president of the Taekwondo Club. Consequently, the coach expelled us from the club."

  "Alas!" Zheng Hanfei sighed, "You two... aren't right? Since you defeated the president and vice-president, shouldn't the coach have made you the main force of Taekwondo? Unless..."

  "It's just as you thought." Nan Ruo Xun lowered his head in shame, "At that time, we didn't grasp the essence of Taekwondo at all, so I used Tai Chi to cripple the vice president, and Xiao Jie used Jeet Kune Do to cripple the president."

  "Haha." Zheng Hanfei couldn't help but laugh, feeling relieved for the coach. Luckily, it was their mistake, otherwise, they wouldn't have compromised so easily. If the coach had forced them, Zheng Hanfei could imagine how miserable he would be.

  Gujie and Nannanxun are both of the sports type. They have been learning Jeet Kune Do and Tai Chi from their grandparents since they were young, and they have won first and second prizes in provincial and municipal competitions. Gujie even won third prize abroad. If someone angers them, there will be no good outcome.

  But Zheng Hanfei was an exception, no matter how he provoked one person, another person would definitely try to stop him desperately, making everyone envy, as for both of them being provoked? That's impossible, unless Zheng Hanfei got tired of living.

  "Huh?" Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Zheng Hanfei's pupils contracted slightly as he hastily shouted, "It's over, there's not much time left, I'm going to be late."

  Nor did he know what reason, Zheng Hanfei as long as they stayed with the two of them, any annoying things were forgotten, and even the disgust for school disappeared without a trace.

  "It's okay!" Gu Jie smiled and said, "I guarantee you'll make it to school on time."

  "Could it be......" Zheng Hanfei raised an eyebrow, a sense of foreboding rising from the bottom of his heart.

  "That's right, this is the way!" After finishing speaking, Gu Jie grabbed Zheng Hanfei and carried him on his back.

  As expected! Zheng Hanfei covered his head in frustration, and then blushed as he said, "Hurry up and put me down. Carrying me on your back in the middle of the street is so embarrassing. People will think we're in some kind of relationship or something."

  "What's there to be afraid of? A straight body doesn't fear a slanted shadow!" Having said that, Gu Jie turned his head and told Nan Ruoxuan: "Little Xuan, we'll go first, you can walk slowly."

  "This is so much fun, why shouldn't I join in?" Nan Ruo Xun said happily, like an ungrown child, "Let's see who can run the fastest!"

  "No problem!" Gu Jie nodded and ran forward quickly with Zheng Han on his back, followed by Nan Ruoxi, leaving behind a faint cry in the distance.

  "Put me down..."
