Forced to Date a Big Shot

Xue Xi paused. “What?”

Xie Yingying’s body was trembling. “Yes, she’s saying, Liu Jia, please let me off! I don’t want to die!”

“…”

She suddenly felt that the dormitory had become even more sinister.

Xie Yingying turned around in fear and looked at Xue Xi. Her lips trembled as she said, “Sister Xi, Sister Xi, everyone said that it was Liu Jia who came to claim her life, but… but are there really ghosts in this world?”

Are there ghosts?

Xue Xi was involved in many scientific mysteries and was the best at answering them. She said firmly, “No.”

Her resolute words made Xie Yingying heave a sigh of relief. “But if she didn’t, what did she mean by that before she died?”

Xue Xi frowned. “This is not something we should be concerned about. There must be a cause and effect when something happens. Now that the matter has blown up, don’t worry. The outcome won’t be long now.”

Xie Yingying nodded in confusion.

Xue Xi thought about it and comforted her. “Do you still remember the missing person case that was very popular on the internet a while ago? The husband said that his wife was asleep and suddenly disappeared. Everyone searched the entire building but could not find her. It seemed like it’s really a fantasy.”

Xie Yingying nodded. “Yes, I know. It’s only after 20 days that they realized that she was actually killed! It’s just that the methods were more secretive. Sister Xi, I understand what you mean. Are you saying that this matter was also man-made and not supernatural?”

Xue Xi clenched her jaw and nodded.

Actually, she did not know, nor did she know? However, comforting Xie Yingying like this was clearly effective. So then… let’s do this.

…

…

In the basement of the capital’s building.

Jing Fei entered one defensive AI-locked door after another. Finally, he passed through the infrared scanning device and entered the room.

The moment he entered, he looked at Xiang Huai, who was sitting behind the computer, and shouted, “Boss, how can you release the video?”

Xiang Huai leaned lazily on the chair and swept a cold glance at him. Jing Fei was so frightened that he hurriedly patted his chest. “Boss, what I mean is that it’s very scary for you to release it like this. I’m so scared that I’m about to pee. If ordinary people see it, won’t their imagination run wild?”

Xiang Huai harrumphed.

Jing Fei continued, “Boss, you’ve changed. I know that it must be because of Sister-in-law! I don’t like her being criticized by those brainless people on the Internet, but before you release anything next time, can you inform me first? That way, I can prepare a backup plan! We have to hide ourselves. It’s too scary for you to expose yourself so openly! I’m going to be frightened to death by you!”

Xiang Huai: “…”

He shot another glance at Jing Fei. “Make a proposal.”

Jing Fei’s lips twitched.

They were in charge of such secretive matters. Most of the time, they would hide it. Boss, you exposed yourself without saying a word. Now, you’re actually asking me to propose a solution. This is too much!

Although he was complaining in his heart, he was very honest. “Don’t worry, Boss. I’m already prepared. I’ll make a clarification post tomorrow!”

Xiang Huai nodded. Then, he looked at the computer and narrowed his eyes. “Who is the other person who posted the video?”

Jing Fei’s expression turned serious when he heard this. “We’ve already copied the video. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have existed, but it was actually repaired and released. This person is very good at hacking. Moreover, I suspect that he must be related to this case. Unfortunately, I just tracked him back and tied with him. He escaped.”

Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and looked at the computer.

Actually, he had just reversed the pursuit. Just as he was about to find out who this person was, the hacker who had told him that they were X appeared again and helped the other party avoid his investigation.

It seemed that Huaxia University was indeed a place with hidden talents.

Xiang Huai said calmly, “I’ll go to Huaxia University tomorrow.”

The corners of Jing Fei’s lips twitched. He was not touched at all. “Boss, you must be looking for an excuse to see Sister-in-law! This excuse is too obvious. You don’t even know how to cover it up!”

…

…

That night, Xie Yingying did not sleep well. She kept feeling as though someone else was in her dormitory. She was so frightened that her hands and feet were hidden under the blanket. Even though she was drenched in sweat, she did not dare to stretch them out.

When she woke up the next day and the sun was up, she heaved a sigh of relief. She silently picked up her phone and opened Weibo to continue paying attention to this matter.

She had originally intended to search for it, but this was the first trending topic: the truth behind Liu’s murder.

“Sister Xi!”

Xue Xi, who had woken up at 6:30 AM sharp, was currently reading a book. What happened yesterday did not seem to affect her at all, but only Xue Xi knew that she, who had never played with Weibo or her phone, had never put it down until she’d seen the truth…

When she heard Xie Yingying call her this way, she immediately said, “The truth has already been revealed. The officials actually found traces of methamphetamine in Liu Zhao’s body. There was also a very special drug that can make one hallucinate. They said that this kind of drug will make one’s mind abnormal. Meanwhile, Liu Zhao had been secretly taking drugs. That day, perhaps because she was in a bad mood, she’d used a huge amount of drugs. That’s why she seemed to have seen the dead Liu Jia and jumped down because her conscience was not clear.”

Just as Xie Yingying heaved a sigh of relief, she could not help but sigh again. “There are such things in school too!”

Xue Xi nodded. “The officials reminded us not to drink anything given by strangers. People nowadays are very abominable. We might be schemed against unknowingly, so we must be more careful.”

Xie Yingying nodded and lifted the blanket. She looked refreshed. “If that’s the case, I’m relieved! There are really no ghosts in this world!”

She excitedly ran to the balcony to wash up, leaving Xue Xi sitting in her seat and reading her book.

If Xie Yingying had been more attentive, she would have realized that Xue Xi had not turned the page in a long time.

Taking drugs resulted in hallucinations.

Was the matter really as reported?

She felt that it was not.

Because the door on the top floor was opened by a key. If Liu Zhao really took drugs, how could she have a key?

Moreover, when Liu Zhao stayed in the dormitory, she was meticulous and had never taken drugs.

She had a nagging feeling that the officials were hiding something.

However, as for what exactly it was, she could not touch or reach it.

After Xie Yingying had washed up, Xue Xi left with her. When the two of them went to the canteen for lunch, they bumped into Gu Yunqing again.

As the two parties approached, Gu Yunqing suddenly stopped and smiled. “Sigh, you guys were criticized online yesterday, right? How pitiful. Also, I heard that you guys received malicious gifts? You must be careful!”

This hypocritical tone meant that the trending topic was clearly her doing.

Xue Xi’s eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to step forward to teach her a lesson, Xie Yingying grabbed her wrist. She lowered her voice and said, “Sister Xi, calm down! You can’t hit her this time.”

Xue Xi was confused. “Why?”

Gu Yunqing was very smug. She did not get angry because she did not manage to scheme against her last night. Instead, she glared at Xue Xi and said, “Because if you dare to hurt me, you must definitely pay the price!”

Xue Xi: “?”

What’s with this sudden confidence?

Just as she thought this, she heard Xie Yingying say, “Sister Xi, the school chose Gu Yunqing to make arrangements for Lin Jing’s inspection. They even asked her to give flowers on the day Lin Jing comes. This is unlimited glory!”

As soon as she said this, Gu Yunqing lifted her chin slightly and revealed a smug expression. “Do you know who Lin Jing is? Ha, so what if your family’s pharmaceutical company is made? A nouveau riche and a broken businessman probably won’t even be given a glance even if they want to suck up to Lin Jing! In the entire capital, only our Gu family and the Qian family can catch the eye of a big shot like Lin Jing! Let me tell you, do you think that you’re amazing just because you’ve developed some kind of acid? Ha, now, in the entire Huaxia University, only my identity is worthy of giving her flowers!”

Xue Xi: “?”

Gu Yunqing was very arrogant. “Try touching me.”
