Chapter 80 No one wants you except me

Li Ying saw Zhou Qi return to the room mysteriously, and he looked normal when he came out to eat, but Li Ying keenly smelled blood.

Zhou Qi was injured.

But seeing that Zhou Qi didn't seem to intend to say anything, he didn't force Zhou Qi to say anything.

In the evening, Shi Bai came back and brought with him a girl who looked exactly like Chuan Miao.

The girl was a little timid and hid behind Shi Bai.

"Junior sister, look at her, is she a Miao?" Shi Bai was surprised when he saw the girl for the first time. He asked her where she was from, but she couldn't tell him. However, she spoke with a southern Yunnan accent. He was sure that she must have come from southern Yunnan, but he didn't know what happened and she couldn't remember her hometown.

Li Ying looked at the girl carefully. She looked exactly like the dead Chuan Miao, but it was unlikely for her to believe that she could come back from the dead.

Even though she herself came from a book, she would never believe in the myth of resurrection from the dead.

"Second Brother, are you sure she is really Chuan Miao?"

Shi Bai nodded heavily: "Yes, although Chuan Miao and I have not met many times and have not spent much time together, there is a mole on her wrist. I remember it clearly."

Li Ying was not sure what was going on, but from the expression of the second senior brother, it could be seen that he felt guilty towards Chuan Miao, or the second senior brother felt that Chuan Miao's death was closely related to himself.

"Girl, what's your name?" Li Ying asked.

The girl timidly walked out from behind Shi Bai, her small hands tugging at the corner of her clothes, and said, "My...my name is Diudiu."

Diudiu?

"Do you know where your home is?" Li Ying asked.

Diu shook his head and thought seriously for a long time before he said, "I followed my father to look for my cousin. Now that my father is gone, I went to look for her alone. But I couldn't find her."

Li Ying observed the girl's expression and found that she was deliberately creating the illusion of unclear logic when she spoke.

Obviously, this girl is not Chuan Miao, but she looks exactly like Chuan Miao, or she knows the story of Shi Bai and Chuan Miao, so she deliberately appears in front of Shi Bai.

It might sound a bit mean to think this way, but Li Ying always had to be more cautious because not long after Shi Bai joined the research group, a girl like Chuan Miao appeared, which made her alert.

But Second Master is a straightforward person. If I expose him rashly, it will only put him in a dilemma.

Li Ying looked at Shi Bai and said, "Second Brother, since she has nowhere else to go, let Buru let her live with us so that it will be easier to take care of her."

Shi Bai was overjoyed and nodded heavily: "Junior Sister, that's exactly what I meant, but I'm just too embarrassed to say it out loud."

Li Ying frowned for a moment, then smiled: "Second Brother, you and I are becoming more and more distant. From now on, there's no need to be distant. Just ask, and I won't refuse."

Shi Bai smiled gratefully and immediately took Diudiu to clean up the room.

Li Ying called Zhou Qi over: "I need you to check the whereabouts of this girl."

"Yes, Miss Ying."

Li Ying saw that Zhou Qi looked pale, so she took out a bottle of Baiying ointment from the medicine box and handed it to Zhou Qi.

"Hold it. You are a martial artist, so it's normal to have some bumps and bruises."

Zhou Qi reached out to take the medicine bottle, lowered his head, and said, "Thank you, Miss Ying."

Li Ying smiled.

"Miss Ying." Zhou Qi hesitated to speak.

Li Ying smiled and said, "Don't feel guilty. Everyone has their own little secrets. I don't like to pry into them, and I don't want to know. But I know you are a righteous person."

Zhou Qi clenched his fists. Miss Ying had always trusted him, but the less she knew about this matter, the better.

It’s almost the end of the year, and the scientific research group’s competition is about to begin.

In the cafeteria, Li Ying met Chen Wen.

Now when Chen Wen sees Li Ying, she is no longer as domineering as before, but will nod slightly to greet her.

But today, Chen Wen walked straight up to Li Ying.

"Li Ying, I think your research team is doomed to lose this competition."

Li Ying smiled elegantly: "So confident?"

Chen Wen nodded: "I already know the topic and general model of the competition, and..."

Chen Wen moved closer: "The data in your research lab has been leaked."

Li Ying's eyelids twitched.

Chen Wen took two steps back: "I just want to compete fairly, but you are still too careless."

Data leakage indicates that there is a spy inside.

Li Ying hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, then rushed back to the laboratory, found her junior brother, and repeated what Chen Wen had said.

"Data leakage? Impossible! The people in our research team are all carefully selected by me. They have clean family backgrounds and would never leak data." Lu Qingzhu felt that this was unlikely.

A person flashed in Li Ying's mind, that was her second senior brother Shi Bai.

Of course, the data couldn’t have been leaked by Shi Bai, so could it have been leaked by someone around him?

Diudiu!

Li Ying expressed her thoughts, and Lu Qingzhu sighed, "Second Senior Brother is a man of sentimental character, so it's not impossible for something like this to happen. But let's not make this public for now. Let's find a way to resolve this."

Li Ying nodded.

Shi Bai knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Junior sister, what are you whispering to junior brother about? Why don't you let me hear it?" Shi Bai was a little jealous.

"Second Senior Brother, I told Junior Senior Brother that you've been very busy lately, helping us organize and copy data. I wanted to give you a few days' rest."

Lu Qingzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I've been working on the data day and night recently, and my head is getting big. The remaining data is the most critical. I've been having insomnia recently, so why don't we take a few days off."

Shi Bai thought about how tired he was recently and had no time to go clothes shopping with Diudiu. He was very happy and said, "Okay, let's take a few days off."

Li Ying is now in heavy shape, so Zhou Qi always picks her up and drops her off.

The only thing that made Li Ying uncomfortable was Lu Xingzhou, who squatted at the door waiting for her every day like a fly.

"Platoon Leader Lu, you seem to be very free?"

"Yingying, I know it's hard for you to forgive me right now, but I believe that as long as I'm sincere enough, you will be able to see my sincerity."

Lu Xingzhou is deeply affectionate.

Li Ying smiled brightly: "Platoon Leader Lu, you know my father has been reinstated and my eldest brother has returned to his original unit, so you've taken a new look at me?"

Lu Xingzhou's expression changed, but he would not agree to his little thought.

"My feelings for you have nothing to do with your family. When I was dating you, your family didn't agree, but wasn't I still willing to take you home?"

When talking about that year, Li Ying felt that it was the stupidest thing she had ever done in her life.

"Lu Xingzhou, I was blind at first, so I thought you loved me wholeheartedly. Now I see your true face clearly. Please don't come here again. It's really disgusting."

Lu Xingzhou clenched his fists, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"Yingying, Ye Jingchi won't be coming back. Being with me is the best choice. Otherwise, with the reputation of having your third marriage, no one will want you. You won't be able to marry anyone except me!"
