Locating the owner of the phone number directly might not be easy, but finding the other person in the photo was not difficult.
Zhou Xian was surprised when he found out Xu Weiran wanted to see him.
He knew Sheng Ning’an had a boyfriend even before Shi Yue’s birthday, but he still couldn’t resist going to the birthday banquet.
Just because he knew she would be there.
He never thought about competing for anything; he just wanted to see her, to give himself and his six years of unrequited love some closure.
He had long seen Xu Weiran’s name and resume in the list of outstanding graduates from Jing University.
Especially after he joined the Student Union, he had access to more internal campus information.
He knew Xu Weiran was even more outstanding than what was said about him on the internet.
A very impressive person.
And he, even though he had been accepted to Jing University, was far from comparing to the other.
There was no sense of injustice, admitting defeat to someone you can’t compare to was not difficult at all.
It was just that the other person suddenly sought him out, wanted to see him, and he was indeed surprised.
A cafe near the research institute of Jing University.
Xu Weiran arrived earlier than him.
Both had only seen each other in photographs, but they recognized each other at a glance.
"You were looking for me?" Zhou Xian approached him.
Xu Weiran pointed to the seat across from him and said, "Sit down!" and then asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Zhou Xian declined, "No need. Did you want to see me for something?"
Xu Weiran opened his phone to that photograph and passed it to him.
On seeing the photo, Zhou Xian’s expression became serious in an instant, and he couldn’t help frowning as he looked up at Xu Weiran and said, "I don’t understand what you mean?"
He didn’t ask how the other had that photograph; since he had come to find him, he must have had something to say.
Talking to a smart person could save a lot of trouble.
Because there was no need for roundabout probing.
Xu Weiran: "Yesterday I received a message from an unknown number, and this photo was in it, telling me to take control of my girlfriend."
Zhou Xian’s face became extremely difficult to look at after hearing this.
"Sheng Ning’an and I are just ordinary friends, I just happened to meet her yesterday, and we had a meal together. There were other people there as well; it wasn’t just the two of us. If you don’t believe me, I can call them over, and you can ask them yourself," he said.
"No need!" Xu Weiran said, "I believe what you say, and I trust my girlfriend. I am very clear about what kind of person my girlfriend is. I didn’t come here to accuse you but rather hope that you can help identify the person who sent the message."
Zhou Xian looked up at him: "Do you think the person who sent the message is related to me?"
Xu Weiran indeed harbored such suspicions.
The sender of the photograph likely intended to stir trouble in his relationship with Sheng Ning’an or maybe the sender had an affection for the man in front of him.
"Do you have a girlfriend now?" Xu Weiran asked Zhou Xian.
"Then you must have a lot of admirers, don’t you?"
Zhou Xian understood what he meant.
His gaze fell back on the photograph: "Although I don’t know who sent the message, I can help investigate."
Since the photograph was taken in the school cafeteria, it was very likely that the perpetrator was a student at Jing University.
And from the angle of the shot, he had a vague suspicion of who it could be.
"She doesn’t know about this yet," Xu Weiran reminded him.
Zhou Xian replied, "Don’t worry, I know what to do."
"I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
