The thought that this was likely a scheme orchestrated by Liu Menghan immediately lessened Chen Yu's sense of guilt.
At this moment, he really wanted to find Liu Menghan and ask her the truth.
He knew that Liu Menghan must have woken up long ago. After all, the three of them, who were all drunk, were woken up by the ringing of their cell phones. Liu Menghan, who hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, couldn't possibly be sleeping like a log.
However, he ultimately suppressed his impulse, after all, he was still a little embarrassed about this kind of thing.
He looked at Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan, gripping their hands even tighter, his eyes filled with determination: "No matter what, I will take responsibility for you. I..."
"Click~" Suddenly, a mechanical sound came from the titanium alloy door outside.
Then, the door slowly opened, and a familiar figure came into view.
"Sir, sir, are you there?" An anxious voice appeared at the door along with Lin Lele's figure. She was holding an assault rifle in her hand, and her face was full of worry and urgency.
Chen Yu was startled and quickly shielded Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan behind him.
"Lele, what brings you here?" Chen Yu asked, trying to appear calm and conceal his inner turmoil.
Seeing that Chen Yu was safe and sound, Lin Lele felt a little relieved, but then she noticed Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan behind him and their slightly intimate posture, which made her feel a little suspicious.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, her eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Well, I've been looking for you for so long and worried about you for so long, and all you do is have fun here!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu quickly waved his hand and explained, "Lele, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think."
Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan were just two young girls after all. When they saw Lin Lele holding an assault rifle and in a fit of anger, they were already terrified. They could only hide behind Chen Yu, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably. They didn't dare to "explain" anything at this time.
"Hmph! I won't listen, I won't listen! You think I'm stupid and easy to fool? I'll definitely tell Yang Yue and Qiao Meng at home. Go explain to them!"
After Lin Lele finished speaking, she turned to leave, seemingly intending to immediately expose Chen Yu's "crimes".
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu became extremely anxious. Although he was not afraid of them finding out about this matter, and they would certainly "understand" him, the process was still somewhat awkward and difficult to talk about.
He quickly stepped forward, blocking Lin Lele's path, and pleaded in a low voice, "Lele, please listen to my explanation, it's really not what you think. I was drunk last night and don't remember anything. I don't know why things turned out this way. It's Liu Menghan, yes! It's all Liu Menghan's conspiracy!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed, and her gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Yu, Li Wanqing, and Zhang Zihan, clearly skeptical of Chen Yu's explanation.
"Liu Menghan? Why would she do that?" Lin Lele's tone was clearly questioning, obviously finding it hard to believe that Liu Menghan was the mastermind behind it all.
Chen Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and began to give a seemingly reasonable explanation: "I drank too much last night and was in a daze. I only remember Liu Menghan helping me back to my room. Maybe at that time, she did something to make me, Wanqing, Zihan and I... have a misunderstanding."
"So, where is Liu Menghan now?" Lin Lele stared sharply at Chen Yu, as if trying to see through his lie.
"He is..." Chen Yu was about to say something, but then seemed to remember something and stopped speaking.
However, he still glanced at the room next door out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little guilty. It was this glance that made him freeze.
Suddenly, Liu Menghan appeared at the bedroom door, staring at him with an icy expression.
"Chen Yu, you shameless bastard!" Liu Menghan said coldly, her voice filled with undisguised anger and disappointment.
"You're still lying! Do you think you can cover up your despicable behavior by shifting all the blame onto me?" Liu Menghan approached step by step, her eyes like sharp blades, as if trying to cut through Chen Yu's fragile psychological defenses.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu felt a pang of panic.
Could it be that I really misunderstood Liu Menghan?
No, Liu Menghan has always been a scheming and rebellious woman. She must be the one who did this!
The thought flashed through Chen Yu's mind as he tried to find a way to defend himself.
"Liu Menghan, don't think you can slander me like this! We both know what happened yesterday. You know best who was behind this!" Chen Yu tried to remain calm, but his voice carried a hint of resentment as he retorted.
"Oh~?" Lin Lele raised an eyebrow, revealing a gossipy expression. "Things are getting more and more interesting! I'm very curious, what exactly is this 'thing' you're talking about?"
Lin Lele's intervention made the already tense atmosphere even more delicate.
Her curious eyes darted back and forth between Chen Yu and Liu Menghan, as if trying to glean more information from their expressions and movements.
Liu Menghan sneered, her gaze sharp as she looked at Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, are you still pretending to be confused? You know there are surveillance cameras in this lab. Do you want everyone to see your ugly side?"
Chen Yu's face turned pale instantly. Since Liu Menghan had said so, could it be that the absurd things that happened yesterday really had nothing to do with Liu Menghan?
"Look, look, look at the surveillance footage, hehe~" Lin Lele transformed into a spectator, excitedly rubbing her hands together and urging, "Quick, quick, turn on the surveillance footage and let us see what's going on!"
"What are you looking at? What time is it? Go back to sleep!" Chen Yu interrupted Lin Lele, trying to stop her from investigating the matter further.
"Tch~" Lin Lele said with a disdainful look, "I am now the only third-party witness to that matter you are talking about. I have the responsibility and the obligation to uphold justice for everyone!" Lin Lele said righteously, clearly not intending to let this topic go easily.
"This Lin Lele is getting more and more disobedient! She's really getting out of control if you don't discipline her for three days. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back!" Chen Yu thought to himself.
“Secretary Lin must be present, Chen Yu, are you scared?” Liu Menghan curled her lips into a cold smile, her eyes filled with mockery and provocation towards Chen Yu.
"Scared? What a joke! I just think it's getting late, everyone needs to rest, there's no need to make a fuss over such a small thing." Chen Yu tried to appear calm, but fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Lin Lele watched with great interest, clearly enjoying this cat-and-mouse game and completely forgetting her own role.
