Chapter 7 The Noble Academy Substitute (7) You're the first one who dares to do this...
Chapter Seven
After Xia Zhi asked the question, everyone fell silent.
Xie Yi leaned closer to Xia Zhi and whispered, "Baby, you're really overthinking it."
Xia Zhi didn't look at him, but looked at Meng Ziyue. Meng Ziyue quickly looked away, clearly feeling a little guilty.
Xia Zhi belatedly realized that Lin Yue had probably called her for help, but she hadn't answered the phone...
But why are there no chat logs left? It's obvious that they were deliberately deleted.
Xia Zhi coldly asked, "Who did this?"
Xie Yi could clearly sense Xia Zhi's anger, so he shrugged and said, "Anyway, it wasn't me."
Xia Zhi couldn't understand how these people could be the male lead; they simply didn't care about human life! She looked at the silent Xu Yu and suddenly said, "Did you hang up on Lin Yue and delete the call record?"
Xu Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her cold gaze, and he didn't reply for a moment.
Xia Zhi tried to calm herself down; the person who needed help most right now was Lin Yue. She couldn't get through to Lin Yue on the phone, and she didn't know where Lin Yue was...
Xie Yi glanced at Xu Yu indifferently, then said, "Perhaps I have a way."
Xia Zhi subconsciously looked at Xie Yi, her eyes filled with suspicion. Would he be so kind?
Xie Yi gave a wry smile. "I really do have a way. I know where Lin Yue lives. I can have someone search along that road."
Xia Zhi then said, "Okay."
Xie Yi took out his phone and, though reluctantly, contacted the Xie family's bodyguards, then told them the relevant location.
Xie Yi subconsciously reassured Xia Zhi, "It's okay, Zhi Zhi, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
Xu Yu felt a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously glanced at Xie Yi, who was clearly distracted. They had done something wrong together, but now he was being made the good guy.
Xu Yu glanced at Xia Zhi again, and she happened to be looking at him with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Xu Yu paused for a moment, looked away, and unusually remained silent.
The next few hours were very difficult for Xia Zhi. At the same time, she found it strange that the male protagonists did not show any pity for the female protagonist and instead ignored her.
Xia Zhi subconsciously glanced at Xu Yu. Xu Yu pursed his lips, showing no remorse on his face, but seemed to be deep in thought.
Xia Zhi was a little angry, so she looked at Xu Yu and said, "Xu Yu, if anything happens to Lin Yue, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
Xie Yi and Meng Ziyue exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
Actually, they were able to become friends initially because Xia Zhi took the initiative to help them. The four of them maintained a good relationship for a long time. But... it seems everything changed after Lin Yue appeared.
Xu Yu's face paled upon hearing Xia Zhi's words. He remained silent, only giving Xia Zhi a deep look. If it had been anyone else saying that, he would have stormed off long ago. But because it was Xia Zhi, the person he loved most, he tried his best to control his emotions, preventing himself from succumbing to them.
Time passed by, and Xie Yi suddenly received a phone call.
Xie Yi answered the call instinctively, "Hello?"
It was a bodyguard's voice on the other end, "Boss, we found the person you mentioned on Hailing Street."
Xie Yi raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. Lin Yue has been found? She's quite lucky.
So he instinctively said, "Okay, is she injured? Bring her over."
“She was injured. When we found her, someone was about to stab her with a knife. Fortunately, we arrived in time. We also took the person who injured her to the police station.”
Xie Yi nodded, "Let's just say she went to the hospital for a check-up first."
"Okay, boss."
Xie Yi hung up the phone, her peach blossom eyes fixed on Xia Zhi. "Zhi Zhi is alright."
Xia Zhi fell into deep thought. What could have possibly led someone to intend to harm Lin Yue with a knife? She quickly recalled the incident at the birthday party, but those people…
Xia Zhi looked at Xu Yu, "Xu Yu, tell me clearly now, how exactly did you discipline them back then?"
Xu Yu looked at Xia Zhi and noticed that her gaze was now filled with suspicion. He couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "Those people, I've already told the principal, and they've been expelled."
Xia Zhi thought to herself, "No wonder."
With such a serious matter as dropping out of school, it's no wonder they thought of revenge. Since they couldn't get revenge on Xu Yu, they could only vent their anger on Lin Yue.
Xia Zhi looked at Xu Yu and said, "You really didn't think about the consequences, or rather, you didn't care about Lin Yue's life at all. No wonder you were able to do such a thing just now."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Xie Yi looked at Xu Yu. As a fellow brother, he knew how much Xu Yu liked Xia Zhi, so he spoke up with a bit of reluctance, "Zhi Zhi..."
Xu Yu interrupted coldly, "Are you that concerned about Lin Yue?"
Xia Zhi had a bit of a headache. "She's a living, breathing person! Something's clearly going to happen to her, so why did you hang up the phone?"
Xu Yu looked at Xia Zhi, a surge of resentment and anger rising within him. After a long silence, he looked away. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Xia Zhi said coldly, "Whatever."
Xu Yu stared intently at Xia Zhi, then suddenly laughed, "You're the first person who dares to insult me like that."
Xia Zhi looked at Xu Yu and couldn't help but begin to doubt whether what Cong Yi and the others had said before was true. She had heard some rumors before, such as someone stepping on Xu Yu's shoes and being ostracized afterward.
She would never have believed it before, but now she's starting to think so. He's utterly heartless; he just stands by and watches others be in danger!
Xia Zhi thought to himself, regardless of whether that person was the female lead or not, he shouldn't have done that.
Xu Yu glanced at Xie Yi and Meng Ziyue, who were standing silently beside him, and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Xie Yi's eyes held a complex expression, and unusually, she did not reply.
Meng Ziyue also fell silent, finally trying to speak, "You guys should calm down first..."
Xu Yu left without saying a word.
After he left, Xia Zhi sighed silently, then looked at Xie Yi and asked, "Which hospital has Lin Yue been taken to? I'll go see her."
Xie Yi said, "Let me ask."
He quickly told Xia Zhi that Lin Yue had been taken to a nearby hospital and that her injuries were not serious.
Xia Zhi nodded, "Then you guys continue playing here, I'll go check on her."
Xie Yi said, "I'll go with you; you don't know which room she's in."
Xia Zhi nodded, "Okay."
Meng Ziyue adjusted his glasses. "I'll go with you."
Xia Zhi looked at Meng Ziyue, "Why don't you go and see how Xu Yu is doing? Xie Yi and I will go."
Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyue looked at Xie Yi, who was quietly watching him. The two exchanged a silent glance, both understanding that at this moment, the brotherhood they had built was beginning to crumble.
Meng Ziyue sighed silently, "Okay, be careful."
Xia Zhi and Xie Yi quickly arrived at the hospital where Lin Yue was, and Xie Yi arranged for Lin Yue to stay in a VIP room.
When Xia Zhi went in, Lin Yue was quietly looking out the window, lost in thought.
Xia Zhi blurted out instinctively, "Yuyue, I'm sorry..."
Lin Yue glanced at Xia Zhi instinctively, her eyes filled with surprise. Then she said a little shyly, "It's okay. Although I was very scared just now, luckily someone stopped them."
Xia Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Lin Yue subconsciously said, "It's just some bleeding on my neck and knees."
They forced her to kneel and almost slashed her face with a knife. Although I still feel terrified thinking about it, there's a saying: "Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune."
She met Xia Zhi's guilty eyes and couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, senior."
Xia Zhi explained earnestly, "It's my fault, I didn't notice your call."
Lin Yue shook her head, but her eyes were glistening with tears.
Xia Zhi explained again, "Xu Yu hung up the phone and didn't answer your call in time."
Lin Yue still felt a lingering fear when she recalled the incident. She was on her way to Xia Zhi's location when she realized something was wrong. Because a suspicious person was following her, she hurriedly called Xia Zhi.
Before the call was even connected, the other party rushed up to her and forced her to kneel down.
She saw it; it was still the faces of those who had bullied her.
They were all forced to drop out of school, so they had no way to get revenge on Xu Yu and could only vent their anger on her.
She understood that her senior hadn't done anything wrong.
But... Xu Yu...
Xia Zhi hesitated, glancing at Xie Yi beside her. She remembered clearly the threatening words Xie Yi had spoken to her earlier.
This time will be the same, right? Xie Yi actually saved Xia Zhi to please her.
However, regardless of the circumstances, she was indeed saved by Xie Yi.
So she didn't continue the topic, but looked at Xia Zhi and changed the subject, "Senior, you found an internship!"
Xia Zhi felt like crying, but nodded. "Found it."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Xia Zhi nodded, then looked at Xie Yi beside her, "Don't worry, Xie Yi has already taken those people to the police station."
Lin Yue nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "Okay, I believe we can solve it."
Xia Zhi said, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."
Lin Yue smiled and asked, "Can we have some cake?"
Xia Zhi nodded, "Okay, I'll go buy it for you."
Xia Zhi and Xie Yi left the VIP room. Xia Zhi looked at Xie Yi with some complicated feelings and said, "Thank you for today."
Xie Yi shook her head. "It's nothing."
Just as Xia Zhi was about to speak, she suddenly received a phone call.
It was Meng Ziyue calling. Xia Zhi answered instinctively and heard Meng Ziyue's somewhat helpless voice on the other end, "Zhizhi, Xu Yu came here to drink. He's drunk."
Xia Zhi felt angry just thinking about Xu Yu, so she said coldly, "Whatever."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi noticed that Xie Yi was staring at her without moving, his eyes filled with a complicated expression.
Xia Zhi felt a little intimidated by his gaze, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yi shook her head, but subconsciously touched the gold bracelet on her wrist.
