The first time Qian met Qio Yu Xuan was when she went with him to a private kitchen restaurant for a meal. Qio Yu Xuan pretended to be the chef and sent Qian a jar of wine. Even back then he already had a plan to get close to Qian and rack up goodwill.
The second meeting Mr Liu mentioned, Yu Minglang wasn't there. He'd only heard Qian talk about how she once ran into Qio Yu Xuan at a psychiatric hospital—that was exactly the deliberate arrangement Mr Liu was talking about.
From then on, Aka was assigned to protect Qian at all times, and Qio Yu Xuan kept popping up again and again.
It echoed that saying: from one comes two, from two comes three, from three all things are born. After the third meeting, the whole series of events that followed was triggered.
Yu Minglang's brain is wired a bit differently from other people's; he's especially good at piecing together tiny clues like this. He immediately assembled a picture, and the truth was almost bursting out.
