Chapter 752 Five Years Ago
Her legs felt a little weak, so Ji Yuanyuan quickly held onto the table next to her and slowly sat down on the chair.
Cao Xiaorui felt a little strange: "What's wrong with you?"
Even if you are afraid, you can't be scared to this extent, right?
Ji Yuanyuan's lips trembled and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Cao Xiaorui began to get a little scared. She walked forward, squatted in front of Ji Yuanyuan, and gently patted Ji Yuanyuan's face: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Cao Xiaorui, her eyes slowly beginning to focus: "Senior sister... I... I have seen Duan Wenguang."
She spoke incoherently.
Cao Xiaorui was a little surprised: "What?"
"Half a month ago, Duan Wenguang stopped me on the road and asked me for help. At that time, something was wrong with him and he looked very depressed. But at that time, I still remembered that he had said something unfavorable about me in front of Zhou Hua, so I only gave him five minutes. In the end, he said nothing and just turned around and left. Now that I think about it..."
Did something happen to Duan Wenguang, and he found her to ask for help?
But although she gave him five minutes, her attitude was one of rejection.
Duan Wenguang noticed this, so he left without saying anything.
Ji Yuanyuan felt extremely guilty for a moment.
If only she had listened carefully to Duan Wenguang's words at that time.
Even if I can't help, maybe I can enlighten him.
In that case, Duan Wenguang would not have died.
Cao Xiaorui felt a little sorry when she heard Ji Yuanyuan's words.
Duan Wenguang is indeed a very good student. Although he is in an opposing relationship with their group, he is a rare talent in medicine.
His death is a loss to the entire school and the medical community.
She reached out and patted Ji Yuanyuan on the back: "Don't think like that. You have no relationship with him. You have no obligation to help him. The one who killed him was the one who made him collapse, not you."
Ji Yuanyuan simply didn't help, which was nothing at all.
Wu Qiuyun came behind Ji Yuanyuan without knowing when.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, her face looked gloomy.
"Hiss..." Cao Xiaorui suddenly took a breath and covered her mouth.
Ji Yuanyuan and Wu Qiuyun looked at Cao Xiaorui at the same time.
"Teacher Wu, something happened in our school during the first semester of my sophomore year. It was quite a big deal at the time, but the Internet was not as developed as it is now, so the incident was quickly suppressed. You should still remember it, right?" Cao Xiaorui asked in a low voice.
Cao Xiaorui was one grade higher than Ji Yuanyuan. When she was in her sophomore year, that was the first semester of Ji Yuanyuan's freshman year.
At that time, they had just arrived at the school and were unfamiliar with everything about the school. They were not well-informed and had never heard of anything.
Wu Qiuyun remained silent and said nothing.
Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Senior Sister, what happened?"
It is impossible that Cao Xiaorui would bring up this matter for no reason. It might be related to Duan Wenguang's suicide.
Seeing that Wu Qiuyun did not object, Cao Xiaorui whispered to Ji Yuanyuan about what happened that year: "Back then, there was a very outstanding senior who committed suicide by jumping into the lake. He must have jumped into the lake at night, and the next morning, his body was floating on the lake. When I went to class that morning, I passed by the lake. I took a look from a distance at the time and just felt it was a bit strange, but didn't think about it in that direction. Later I realized that what I saw was the body of the senior."
Talking about what happened back then, Cao Xiaorui's face didn't look very good.
"I was only a sophomore at the time, and the senior was already a third-year graduate student, with only six months left before graduation. So I didn't know him, and I had never even heard of his name. I only heard from classmates that the senior was very outstanding, came from a rural family, and was the only child in the family. After losing their only child, the senior's parents went crazy. They came to the school with banners and insisted on putting the blame for the senior's suicide on his graduate advisor."
Ji Yuanyuan seemed to have thought of something and his brows slowly furrowed.
Cao Xiaorui continued, "I heard that the senior's parents were hanging banners at the west gate, so I passed by there several times, but I didn't see them. About a month later, no one mentioned this matter again. I soon forgot about it until my senior year. Everyone was busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and choosing a supervisor. I studied several supervisors in our school and found that Zhou Hua had the best reputation. So, I actually wanted to choose Zhou Hua at that time."
Although it was inappropriate, Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously looked at Wu Qiuyun.
How ridiculous! Wu Qiuyun's only two students both chose Zhou Hua as their first choice.
Wu Qiuyun's expression remained indifferent throughout, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly withdrew her gaze.
"At the graduation party, a classmate got drunk and talked about what happened back then. It was then that I learned that the senior who committed suicide was Zhou Hua's student. At that time, I decided not to choose Zhou Hua as my mentor. However, Zhou Hua didn't like me either..." Cao Xiaorui smiled self-deprecatingly.
Ji Yuanyuan sat in the chair and didn't speak for a long time.
Five years ago, Zhou Hua's student committed suicide.
Five years ago, Zhou Hua and Teacher Wu parted ways.
Five years ago, Zhou Hua hooked up with the principal's daughter.
Also five years ago, Zhou Hua was promoted to senior professor.
So, what exactly happened five years ago?
"What happened five years ago is happening again. Is it a coincidence?" Cao Xiaorui seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be asking Wu Qiuyun.
Wu Qiuyun had a gloomy expression and remained silent.
After a moment, she left the lab.
Before leaving, she told Cao Xiaorui and Ji Yuanyuan: "You two should record all the experimental data."
After Wu Qiuyun left, Ji Yuanyuan stood up from the chair as if awakened from a dream.
She ran to the door, but Wu Qiuyun was gone.
Standing at the door, an idea suddenly emerged in Ji Yuanyuan's mind: Did Wu Qiuyun really part ways with Zhou Hua because of the project and the principal's daughter?
Standing there, Ji Yuanyuan's heart was filled with ripples.
In the principal's office.
With a 'bang', Principal Zheng Guo dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.
The ceramic cup broke into several pieces on the ground and rolled to Zhou Hua's feet.
Zhou Hua didn't dare to move. He lowered his head and just stared at the fragments at his feet.
"A person like you is qualified to be a teacher? I warned you five years ago that such a thing must never happen again. Otherwise, your future, my future, and the future of the school will be affected. Didn't you promise me that?" Zheng Guo was so angry that his face turned red, but he still lowered his voice and asked forbearingly.
