Hearing these words, Wu Youyou felt inexplicably moved.
She seemed to sense that the atmosphere had been a bit heavy, so she returned to her seat and looked at Shi Zhan with a relaxed expression. She said, "So, I didn't fall in love with Wei Zhibin. Besides, he's not my type. My father was forced to agree to Wei Zhibin's request. I only said that on the phone to keep my mother from worrying about me."
Shi Zhan knew beforehand that Wei Zhibin would definitely make another move, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He stared into Wu Youyou's eyes and asked, "So what will you do next?"
Wu Youyou pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"I always felt that Wei Zhibin's actions were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. I wonder what his real purpose was?"
Although Wu Youyou was worried, she knew that she didn't have the strength or energy to deal with Wei Zhibin at the moment. The only way was to stall. She said, "Since this has already happened, let's leave it there for now. I need to focus on the college entrance examination first, and then I'll think of a solution in the meantime. I can't let this affect my ability to do nothing."
“Those reporters won’t let this go; they’ll definitely find an opportunity to interview you, or even monitor you!” Shi Zhan warned.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Youyou said with certainty, "Our Nanhua Middle School is considered a key middle school. We all live on campus, so they can't get in. In the end, I'll have my dad tell the principal not to let any reporters in if they want to come in."
As Wu Youyou was speaking, a middle-aged man suddenly walked into the classroom and said in a deep voice, "This classroom is not easy to find. I asked a few students, and they all thought I was a bad guy."
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
Wu Youyou looked at the person who came in. His hair was a little long and naturally curly. The person shook his somewhat messy hair and thought he was a cool and handsome guy from the 1980s.
The man's face was covered in a beard; he never seemed to shave before going out. He wore loose cotton and linen clothes, his hands in his pockets, and looked somewhat slovenly. Yet, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
Wu Youyou roughly guessed that this person was the detective Shi Zhan had introduced to her, and she tentatively asked, "You are the detective Shi Zhan mentioned?"
Shi Zhan sensed that Wu Youyou didn't quite believe that the person in front of her was the extraordinary detective he had described, so he introduced her: "Youyou, this is the detective I'm going to introduce to you, Huo Huo."
Wu Youyou understood. Although this person seemed unreliable, since he was recommended by Shi Zhan, he must be very capable. Moreover, with his appearance, the school security guards would never let him in, but now that he was standing in front of her, it meant that this person was not as unreliable as he appeared.
So she stepped forward and greeted them politely, "Hello, my name is Wu Youyou!"
"You're quite something, little girl!" Huo Huo leaned against the desk, praising her from the side.
"Old Huo, from now on you're Youyou's person. You have to do your best for everything concerning her."
Shi Zhan's words stunned Wu Youyou. What did he mean by saying he would be hers from now on? She had only asked him for help. Wu Youyou quickly replied, "You're too kind. Old Huo, right? May I call you that?"
"Of course, it's just a form of address!" Huo Huo said nonchalantly.
"Alright, Lao Huo, I'd like to ask you to investigate someone for me first. As for the fee, name your price!"
Old Huo glanced at Shi Zhan and saw him nod slightly, so he said, "I'll do anything for you recently, including killing people for you. My fee is 100,000 a month, but don't worry, I know my limits and I know the red lines of the law."
Wu Youyou was shocked. Murder? She wanted to, but she couldn't do it, so she gave an awkward smile, "Old Huo, you really know how to joke, haha~"
Shi Zhan's lips curled up. "Alright, stop scaring Youyou. From now on, just stay with her properly!"
"OK. No problem!" Old Huo knew that this girl would be his future boss, but he couldn't understand why Shi Zhan was so good to her, so good that he was willing to give her away. But he still asked seriously, "Youyou, who do you want me to investigate?"
After adding Lao Huo on WeChat, Wu Youyou sent him He Qiangwei's phone number and photos, and then said seriously, "All I know right now is that she is an orphan and her father used to be an alcoholic, but I don't know any other information. Can you help me find out about her upbringing, where her home is, and who her mother is?"
"That's easy. Just wait for my good news next week!"
"Thanks!"
After saying goodbye to them, Old Huo left the school without anyone noticing.
Under the cover of night, the security guards were still on duty diligently, not seeing anyone suspicious.
After returning to her dormitory, Wu Youyou began to think about it. It had been a week since she had traveled back in time. She carefully recalled everything that had happened in the past week, and almost everything was related to her.
Now, her status as Wei Zhibin's fiancée has once again caused a stir online.
The campus will probably be in an uproar.
Wu Youyou has no choice but to face the situation; hiding is not an option.
There are only two weeks left until the college entrance examination. In these two weeks, let's put these things aside for now and slowly figure out a solution.
Seeing her deep in thought, Liu Xiaolan asked worriedly, "Youyou, what's wrong with you? You've been sitting there in a daze ever since you got back."
“Yes!” Yang Min stared at her curiously. “Youyou, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you talking to us? Did Shi Zhan bully you again?”
Wu Youyou then slowly spoke, "Don't worry about what happened today. I'm just thinking about how to strengthen myself."
Without a second thought, Liu Xiaolan said, "Study hard, get into a good university, and after graduation, find a good job. That way, you can earn an income and support yourself."
Yang Min also got excited, "I'm definitely going to become a big star. When that happens, making a lot of money won't be a problem. The most important thing is that I must become famous and become a top-tier star."
Wu Youyou thought of her past life, where everyone had their own career, including He Qiangwei, who had her own clothing company. Although she knew that her older brother had invested money to set up the clothing company for her, she was the only one without any career. She was truly blinded by greed.
She looked at the two of them and said, "Do you know what money you can make the fastest now?"
Liu Xiaolan fell into deep thought for a moment, "Are you short of money?"
Yang Min disagreed, excitedly saying, "Is there even a question? Of course, investing in film and television is the fastest way to make money!"
Investing in film and television?
Wu Youyou immediately realized what was going on, jumped up happily, and hugged Yang Min, saying, "You are truly my lucky star!"
