"This doesn't make sense," Ling Shu said suddenly as they drove towards the police station, watching the people coming and going outside the car.

Yue Dingtang knew that Ling Shu's thoughts were always unpredictable, and it was common for him to not be able to keep up.

So he asked directly, "What doesn't make sense?"

Ling Shu said, "Just now, the Feng and Wu families had a falling out. When Mrs. Wu exposed the collusion between the Feng family and the warlords in smuggling tobacco, I thought I had found the reason for Feng Zhenzhu's disappearance. But then I realized it didn't make sense. Even if Feng Zhenzhu had been gone for a few days and was mistreated outside, she wouldn't be able to get over the psychological hurdle and might commit suicide. But what about Yang Chunhe's disappearance? The Yang family's business is small and has nothing to do with the Feng family's social status. Yang Chunhe couldn't have been involved. So Mrs. Wu's statement doesn't hold up."

Yue Dingtang nodded and said, "I still maintain my initial inclination that this matter is related to the Fifth Young Master Wu."

"But he's missing now too," Ling Shu replied.

"Were you just talking to the Fifth Young Master Wu's secretary?" Yue Dingtang asked.

The Fifth Young Master Wu was still studying, so where did he get a secretary?

It was just a servant given to him by the Wu family. He couldn't bring him into the school normally, so he could only follow him outside and help with some errands.

Ling Shu: "I asked him where the Fifth Young Master Wu went yesterday, and he told me that the Fifth Young Master Wu had no classes yesterday, but the Astronomy Association had an activity, so he had to go and never came back."

Yue Dingtang: "Yang Chunhe is also a member of this club."

The two looked at each other.

Yue Dingtang reported an address to the driver, which was the university where the Fifth Young Master Wu was located.

Although Yang Chunhe was a student at the neighboring women's university, the Astronomy Association was jointly operated by the two schools and led by the Changchun University where the Fifth Young Master Wu was located, so the meeting place was set in a remote classroom in the Philosophy Department.

The classroom was not usually used by any teachers, so it gradually became the association's regular meeting place.

When Ling Yue and his companion arrived here with the guidance of the department head, the members of the stargazing association were holding a speech event.

"Here is the stargazing association. I have heard of Miss Feng's situation, but I didn't expect Wu Fei to disappear too. This student doesn't interact much with teachers on a regular basis, to be honest, we don't know much about him. The tall guy sitting on the left is He Jianian, the president of the stargazing association and an active member of our department. He has good conduct and grades, and cares about his classmates. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

The department head whispered from behind the classroom door.

The implication was clear - the Fifth Young Master Wu was not a good student at school, and naturally did not often ask teachers questions. The teachers only knew him through the Wu family, so asking them about the case would be fruitless.

Yue Dingtang understood and thanked department head Xiao, "I see. Thank you, Head Xiao. You can go back to your work now."

The department head nodded and exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving.

Today's activity for the association was related to folk legends about astrology. Members were free to use their imagination and share stories they had collected.

"Hello everyone, today I'm going to tell you a story about the Purple Star. You may not have heard of it before, but I heard it from my grandmother, who heard it from her grandfather when she was a child. It happened during the Qing Dynasty when the Empress Dowager Cixi ruled for over forty years, outliving her husband and son, and supporting her sister's son to become the emperor, Emperor Guangxu, as we all know. Legend has it that there was a wise man in my grandmother's grandfather's village who could read the stars. One night, he saw two emperor stars falling in succession and predicted that two emperors would pass away. However, at that time, there was only one emperor in the court, so everyone thought he was talking nonsense. But after a while, it turned out that both Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi passed away within two days of each other."

As soon as the student finished telling the story, someone raised a question. "Something's not right! The Purple Star has always been the same since ancient times. In the legends, when the emperor died, the Purple Star fell. How could a falling star come back up again? Otherwise, why would we need it?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the suspenseful atmosphere disappeared in an instant. The storyteller blushed and couldn't think of how to continue for a while.

Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang joined in the laughter.

A young man had noticed the two guests brought by the department head and quietly approached them.

"Hello, I'm He Jianian, the president of the Astronomy Association."

"Hello, I'm Ling Shu, and this is Yue Dingtang. We're here to learn about the Yang Chunhe case."

Ling Shu showed his police badge.

He Jianian suddenly realized who they were.

"What can I do to help you two?"

Ling Shu asked, "How much do you know about Yang Chunhe and Wu Fei?"

He Jia Nian thought for a moment and replied, "I have more dealings with Yang Chunhebecause she is very interested in astronomy and astrology. She often reads a lot of materials in the library and is always one of the most vocal participants in our activities. What impressed me the most was her storytelling. She always comes up with unexpected plot twists that everyone loves to hear.

"As for Wu Fei, I didn't communicate with him much. When he first joined the Astronomy Association, he often tried to get close to our female members. Several of them told me about this, and I talked to Wu Fei about it. He improved his behavior afterwards. Later on, he somehow became close to Yang Chunhe, who comes from an ordinary family. I was worried that she might not understand the situation, so I warned her a couple of times. I didn't see how Yang Chunhe responded to Wu Fei, but he still often approached her on his own initiative."

Hearing what He Jianian said, Ling Shu realized that his perspective on the Fifth Young Master Wu was completely different from the Fifth Young Master Wu's.

The Fifth Young Master Wu had told them before that Yang Chunhe liked him and had a crush on him, but he rejected her.

However, Ling Shu couldn't find any trace of the Fifth Young Master Wu in Yang Chunhe's notebook. Now, hearing what He Jianian said, Ling Shu realized that the liar might be the Fifth Young Master Wu.

"Is Wu Fei in love with Yang Chunhe?" Yue Dingtang asked.

He Jiannian shook his head. "I'm not sure. When I reminded Yang about it, she said she knew what she was doing. She doesn't seem like the type to be swayed by a rich boy. I didn't say much more, but I never expected her to disappear like this..."

Ling Shu patted his shoulder. "That's why we're looking for her now."

He Jiannian held his hand and said sincerely, "I know Yang doesn't come from a powerful family like the Fengs or Wus, but she loves to learn and is always striving to improve herself. Everyone in our astronomy club likes her. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely become a pillar of society in the future. Please help us find her. Thank you both!"

Yue Dingtang subtly pulled the other's hand over and shook it up and down.

"You can trust us, we will do our best," reassured Ling Shu.

But his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
