Chapter 50 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part Fourteen) A Little...

An hour later, Wen Yin, who was still strolling on the street, was suddenly handcuffed by special police officers who appeared out of nowhere and taken to the interrogation room.

The interrogators, with serious expressions, handcuffed her to the interrogation chair and asked her a series of questions in a cold voice.

"What's your name? How old are you? Who is your superior? How do you contact them? How long have you been a spy? What intelligence have you leaked?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be a spy! Let me go!" Wen Yin was stunned for a while before she realized what had happened. She was shocked and scared, and shouted repeatedly.

Why were you following Shen Zechen?

"What information are you trying to gather by staking out the places Shen Zechen frequents?"

"Why did you deliberately spread rumors about Shen Zechen?"

"What is your purpose in sending people to hunt down Shen Zechen?"

………

After a series of interrogations, Wen Yin couldn't help but bite her lip, and after a long while, she finally answered, "I like Shen Zechen, is it wrong for me to want to pursue him?!"

"But all your actions show that you have no intention of pursuing Shen Zechen, yet you have attacked and injured him time and time again. Tell me! What is your purpose?!"

Wen Yin was startled by the interrogator's serious tone, and her heart tightened. She finally realized the seriousness of the matter and explained earnestly, "I didn't intend to attack him. Those were just methods to get him. Things went a little wrong. I really didn't mean to!"

Unfortunately, her words sounded more like a sophistry. After being interrogated repeatedly, she inadvertently revealed that she knew Shen Zechen was the Dark Lord.

Wen Yin couldn't explain how she knew that Dark Lord was Shen Zechen, nor could she explain how she knew where Shen Zechen used to live, which further confirmed that her information source was unknown and made her seem even more like a spy.

Now she feels utterly helpless and wronged, even more so than Dou E!

Unwilling to go to jail or even be sentenced to death, Wen Yin had no choice but to reveal that she was a time traveler. She thought she would be taken seriously, but no one believed her and just thought she was talking nonsense and being unreasonable.

Wen Yin was almost driven mad, but she also understood that the future she knew was her trump card for survival. After being interrogated repeatedly for a long time, she only revealed one piece of information.

After Lin You found out what Shen Zechen had done, she specifically sought out Wen Yin and followed her all the way, just to see what would happen to her.

Then I heard Wen Yin reveal a part of the story in order to prove that she was from another time.

On Teacher's Day, the female protagonist, Shen Shumeng, will take on a translation project. The client is in a hurry and only has three days to complete the 20,000-word project, with a payment of 1,000 yuan.

Although the time travel story was too outrageous, Wen Yin spoke with great conviction. Coincidentally, Teacher's Day was the day after tomorrow, so she was temporarily detained to await further developments.

Upon hearing this, Lin You couldn't help but reveal a strange expression. If she hadn't recognized Shen Zechen, the impoverished Shen Shumeng might indeed have worked overtime for three days straight to finish a translation for a thousand yuan.

But things are different now. Shen Zechen gave his sister a six-figure allowance last time. The girl is not short of money at all, so why would she take on this kind of job?

Seeing that things had come to an end, Lin You went back and told Shen Zechen what she had heard. She then saw him take out his phone and send a message to his sister, asking her to come and help out at the store this weekend.

"Drain the fuel supply!" Lin You immediately gave a thumbs up. This completely disrupted Wen Yin's so-called plot and would definitely cause her a lot of trouble.

Shen Shumeng then learned that her brother also owned a pet shop not far from his neighborhood. It was only open on weekends, and yet he hadn't lost money.

The next day, Shen Zechen went to class as usual. Lin You kept watch around him and actually saw two people who seemed a bit strange.

"Brother Ze, two people have been following us ever since we left! Could it be Wen Yin again?" Lin You was very troubled. Wen Yin had already been arrested, so how could she still be causing trouble?

Just as she was about to put another protective shield on Shen Zechen, he stopped her.

"Don't spend your points yet. Observe those two carefully and see what characteristics they have."

Lin You then took a closer look at the two men. They were tall and straight, with sharp eyes, steady steps, and an air of authority. They were nothing like the slovenly thugs that Wen Yin had found.

"Why do they look like soldiers?" Lin You suddenly realized, "Are they bodyguards assigned to you by the country?"

"Good observation! Looks like all those practice questions weren't for nothing. You're quite clever. Be even more meticulous next time." Shen Zechen praised and encouraged him in an exaggerated way.

Lin You secretly rolled her eyes, scoffing at his way of coaxing children.

The two bodyguards must have had prior arrangements with the school to be able to enter the campus. While Shen Zechen was in class, the two guarded him from a short distance away, doing their duty diligently.

They would even stand guard nearby during mealtimes, and they would take turns eating, which was much more attentive than hiring bodyguards yourself.

Teacher's Day happened to fall on a Saturday, so Shen Shumeng got up early in the morning to call Shen Zechen and urge him to come pick her up.

Shen Zechen, who was planning to sleep in, was woken up by five consecutive phone calls from his younger sister, making it impossible for him to fall back asleep. He had no choice but to get up and go to school.

Looking at the time, I realized I was actually arriving earlier than I usually do for school.

Shen Zechen bought a few steamed buns and two cups of soy milk from a nearby breakfast stall. He ate half of them himself and gave the other half to his younger sister, who was dressed up very cutely today.

Gu Jin, who had specially bought a loving breakfast and delivered it, saw the girl he had been longing for, arm in arm with her brother, eating steamed buns as she walked, and occasionally taking a sip of the soy milk that her brother had given her.

The two were completely unaware of his presence and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Gu Jin pulled a form out of his pocket, which was filled with a day's plan—his dating schedule that he had been thinking about for a week.

The tall, handsome man sighed deeply. Brother-in-laws are indeed the biggest obstacle in a relationship.

Shen Zechen's pet shop was unusually open in the morning. Liu Zhenzhen, who was passing by, almost thought she was seeing things and couldn't help but bring her Golden Retriever over to take a look.

Golden Retriever Beibei is a regular here. As soon as it entered, it went around to the counter, grinned at Shen Zechen, wagged its fluffy tail incessantly, and even let out a soft howl to greet him.

Shen Zechen rubbed its head and casually made a hand seal.

After running a pet shop and coming into contact with so many pets, Shen Zechen's animal taming skills have now reached level 5. His hand gestures are no longer as complicated as they were at the beginning, and the longest he can tame a pet now is more than half a month.

If he does nothing but tame animals every day, at a rate of one every three minutes, and excluding the eight hours he spends eating and sleeping each day, he can tame about five thousand animals in a little over half a month.

By this calculation, we're not far from passing, and only halfway to perfectly completing the task.

Having only practiced the Beast Taming Technique for three months, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Shen Zechen is already very satisfied with his current progress.

The golden retriever, Beibei, was tamed once again. To express its admiration for its boss, it rubbed against Shen Zechen repeatedly.

After successfully leaving a layer of pale yellow fuzz on his black shirt, the dog happily wagged its tail and ran off to pick out its favorite treats.

Shen Shumeng watched as it skillfully took out two packets of jerky, one packet of chew sticks, and one packet of biscuits, and placed them on the counter.

Then it turned around and barked twice at its owner, signaling her to come and pay the bill.

"It's so smart! It can pick out its own snacks and even knows to pay!"

Shen Shumeng stared longingly at the dog, its fluffy long fur swaying with its movements, looking very soft and comfortable.

She couldn't help but ask Liu Zhenzhen, who was standing next to her, "Can I touch it?"

Liu Zhenzhen looked like she couldn't make the decision, and pointed at the dog, saying, "Its name is Beibei, and it's got a lot of ideas now. You have to ask it yourself."

Shen Shumeng took a chew toy ball from the shelf and said to the dog, "Beibei, I'll buy you a toy. Can I pet you?"

The golden retriever wagged its tail at her, then turned and barked at another toy on the shelf. Shen Shumeng looked at the two almost identical toy balls, not quite understanding what it meant.

"It prefers the other ball that makes a sound; the one you're holding is only good for biting and playing with," Shen Zechen explained when he saw his sister didn't understand.

Shen Shumeng hurriedly picked up another ball and handed it to Beibei. The dog got the toy and stretched its head towards her hand.

"Wow, Beibei, you're so smart! Your fur is so soft and silky, you're so cute!"

Shen Shumeng gently rubbed its head and then stroked its back. Beibei swished its fluffy tail and waited for her to stroke it for five minutes before it picked up its toy and left.

When Liu Zhenzhen went to pay the bill, she wanted to pay for the toy ball as well, but Shen Zechen waved his hand and refused, saying, "That's what Beibei earned herself, you don't need to pay for it."

He calculated the price of the items and gave the other party a flyer about how posting a short video on a certain platform with the store's name would entitle them to three free uses of the pet bathroom.

Liu Zhenzhen was pleasantly surprised. She wasn't concerned about the thirty yuan, but rather about Shen Zechen's attitude. "Boss, it's been so tough for you! You've finally shown some ambition! We were worried you'd close down the business one day!"

After all, he took over the shop but didn't even change the name, and he only worked sporadically, not at all like someone who cared about business.

Shen Zechen not only promoted his business in the city, but also changed his opening hours. He not only opens on weekend mornings, but also for three hours on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. He is really very hardworking.

After hearing about her brother's hard work, Shen Shumeng quickly offered to help with the accounting and organizing of goods, while Shen Zechen would be responsible for comforting the pets.

That day, Shen Shumeng sat at the counter helping to collect money, watching her brother rub one fluffy pet after another. Those pets, who were originally very resistant to the bathroom, became very obedient after being soothed by him.

The pet bathroom has three bathing stations, but even so, people line up. Everyone who comes in buys something along the way, so business is quite good.

At first, Shen Shumeng was a bit flustered and made some mistakes in the accounts, but Shen Zechen didn't care and let her do whatever she wanted.

The young girl, however, was determined to succeed. She struggled with the payment system for a long time before finally mastering it, and then worked as a cashier in the store for a day.

Shen Zechen subtly winked at the regular customers, who all assumed he was trying to train his younger sister and helped keep it a secret.

This also meant that Shen Shumeng was busy all day without realizing that her brother's POS system was a self-service system and didn't require any human intervention.

As for the translation work worth a thousand mentioned by Wen Yin, it was a job that the translation club contacted, which can be considered a way for the school to help poor students earn their living expenses.

However, at the last time she signed up for the translation club, Shen Shumeng was dragged away by her brother because of her early romance, and she didn't have time to join any clubs, so the translation work was naturally irrelevant to her.

When Wen Yin heard in prison that what she had said hadn't happened, she became furious. "This is impossible! Shen Zechen must have manipulated this part of the plot!!"

Wen Yin grabbed her hair, desperately trying to recall the novels she had read, but unfortunately, she had been in this world for so long that she could no longer remember many of the details.

She never intended to pursue the male lead; most of her attention was focused on Shen Zechen. However, Shen Zechen's storyline had already gone astray. As for the information, revealing it would only prove that she had a problem.

Instead, the novel's plot mostly focuses on how the female protagonist bravely faces adversity, endures hardship, and is undaunted by difficulties, while the male protagonist secretly protects her.

But now that Shen Zechen is here, even adversity doesn't exist. What plot can possibly not be affected by the butterfly effect?

Wen Yin recounted one plot point after another that she still remembered, trying to prove that the female lead was so exhausted from working part-time while studying that she fell ill and fainted, and the male lead, who had been watching her closely, discovered her and carried her to the hospital.

The female lead was eating steamed buns because she had no money for food, so the male lead secretly bought a year's worth of meals at a restaurant and then manipulated the system to let her win a prize.

The female protagonist missed the last bus because she came back from her part-time job too late. Reluctant to take a taxi, she planned to ride a shared bicycle for more than ten kilometers in the middle of the night. The male protagonist, who knew about this, rushed over in a hurry and then pretended to be passing by to take her back to school.

Unfortunately, with Shen Zechen's early intervention, neither the part-time job nor the lack of food and clothing was possible, and therefore it was not convincing.

Wen Yin racked her brains for a while, then suddenly raised her head and shouted, "The male lead's mother arranged a marriage for Gu Jin just before the New Year and gave the female lead five million to leave the male lead!"
