Chapter 620: Hiding

Tong Su widened her eyes in disbelief.
Ever since Chu Yue returned to the capital and saw her for the first time, Tong Su knew that Chu Yue and Shi Man were destined to be incompatible.
In order to become Chief Lu’s student in the future, Tong Su stood on the same side as Chu Yue without thinking. She did whatever Chu Yue asked her to do.
She had never thought too deeply about it.
Thinking about it carefully, Tong Su really did not know what had happened between Chu Yue and Shi Man.
Apart from the shock, there was only suspicion left in her heart.
Right now, she was being controlled by someone, but Chu Yue did not show up.
She did not believe that Chu Yue would not hear anything after the matter had blown up, but the other party had not come to comfort her…
Thinking of this, Tong Su suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
When she came back to her senses, Shi Man had already walked far away. She could only see a straight and slender back.
After this day, it happened to be the weekend.
Tong Bin used the excuse of a banquet to invite Chu Yue and her brother to the event location.
Faced with the principal’s invitation, even if Chu Yue did not want to go, she could not refuse.
There were all kinds of women dressed exquisitely in the huge hall, but Chu Yue was tall and had the aura of a soldier when she walked. She could easily attract people’s gazes.
Tong Su was too embarrassed to face anyone, but she hid in the room above the banquet and carefully observed the situation below.
Tong Bin greeted his acquaintances as usual. In the end, his gaze landed on Chu Yue, who was not far away.
He walked over and said with a kind expression, “Instructor Chu, thank you for taking the time to attend the banquet. 1 toast you.”
Chu Yue was flattered. She bent down and lifted Tong Bin’s wine glass. “I’m humbled. Let me toast you.”
Tong Bin put away his wine glass in satisfaction. Seeing that Chu Yue had drunk a glass of wine, he got to the point. “1 know that Instructor Chu is extraordinary, but I haven’t been able to see it with my own eyes. I heard some news, so I want to verify it with Instructor Chu.”
“Please speak.” Chu Yue nodded respectfully.
Tong Bin’s smile deepened. “I heard that there were people who were good at using silver needles in ancient times. I originally thought that it was just a fabrication in martial arts novels, but recently, I heard someone say that Instructor Chu is also good at using silver needles as weapons. 1 wonder if 1 have the honor to see it with my own eyes?”
It was not a secret that no one could know that Chu Yue knew how to do this.
Therefore, she did not think too much about it. She took out a silver needle from her sleeve and said, “Actually, it’s not an impressive ability. It’s just some tricks.”
Tong Bin looked over and narrowed his eyes. “Can I take a closer look?”
Chu Yue did not expect him to be really interested in this. She was stunned for a moment before she generously handed over the silver needle in her hand. “Principal Tong, of course you can take a look, but you have to be careful. This needle tip is poisonous. I specially made it myself. Only I can cure it.”
When she said this, she looked extremely proud and did not notice Tong Bin’s sudden change in expression.
He looked at the green mark on the needle tip with trembling eyes and asked with a frown, “Have you given this needle to anyone?”
“Of course not!” Chu Yue curled her lips smugly. “I don’t know how many people died under the tip of my needle. No one has ever been able to snatch them away from me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt as if she had forgotten something. She thought about it carefully, but she had no clue. She simply shook off the confusion that lingered in her heart.
Tong Bin already had an idea in his mind.
He returned the needle to Chu Yue with a serious expression that he had never shown her before. “Instructor Chu, 1 want to ask you for a favor.”
The silent room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. On the sofa, the man lifted his pants to reveal his bruised knees. A shocked and terrified woman sat by his feet.
She looked at the bruise in a daze and opened her mouth for a long time before saying, “How, how is this possible? Principal Tong, how did you get poisoned?”
Tong Su had been sitting at the side and carefully observing Chu Yue’s expression. When she saw that her expression did not seem fake, she frowned in confusion. “Sister Yue, have you really not given your needles to anyone else?”
“Of course… not.” She wanted to deny it decisively like before, but the words she said suddenly lost their momentum.
This was because she suddenly remembered that when she fought with Shi Man in G City, many silver needles fell out of her hand.
That was a very humiliating battle for her. She did not want anyone to know that she had lost to Shi Man that time, let alone others. It was precisely because Shi Man was far stronger than her that Lu Jun could not wait to take her in as their student.
No one in the capital should know about this!
However, at this point, it was useless for her to hide it.
Who was Tong Bin?
How could he not see the clues?
Chu Yue had said it so confidently previously because she was sure of her strength. No one could take the silver needles from her, but Shi Man did it and deliberately used this needle to lure Chu Yue out..
