Chapter 84 Committing Evil
The next day after school, Bai Zhenzhu was picked up by Su Yizheng and taken to the apartment he had just bought.
And coincidentally, this apartment is located in the same residential complex where Shi Jin lives, in building 17 and building 21 respectively.
"Pearl, do you know why I bought this apartment in this neighborhood?"
"Because of good security?"
"It's because it's close to your school, so I can visit you anytime. Also... if you can't get back to your dorm too late in the future, you can stay here with me..."
At this point, Su Yizheng's face immediately turned bright red.
Bai Zhenzhu looked at him with a coquettish smile, and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, saying, "Senior Su, it's not really appropriate for me to stay here, after all, we're just a man and a woman alone together, it wouldn't be good if something happened..."
"Pearl, I like you and respect you. I won't force you until you agree to be with me."
As he said this, Su Yi was tightly gripping the small box in his pocket, his right eyelid twitching nervously.
"What are you forcing me to do?"
Bai Zhenzhu raised her head, clasped her hands behind her back, and stared at Su Yi with a bright smile.
“It’s just…” Su Yizheng awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, looking as helpless as a young boy.
He's so efficient and decisive at work, how come he's so tongue-tied in front of the girl he likes?
Seeing that he was shy, Bai Zhenzhu stopped teasing him.
"Senior, let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries, I'm a little hungry."
"Okay, let's go."
Su Yi was walking side by side with Bai Zhenzhu when their hands accidentally touched. He smiled and, without hesitation, took Bai Zhenzhu's delicate and lovely hand in his.
Su Yizheng is actually a very strong and domineering man at heart, but he is afraid of scaring away the innocent Bai Zhenzhu, so he usually keeps his behavior under control.
Now, he held Bai Zhenzhu's hand tightly, and would never let go again.
White Pearl felt the intense heat emanating from the back of her hand, smiled faintly, and didn't pull away, letting the large hand "do whatever it wanted" on her small hand...
...
Shi Jin was driving and was about to park in the underground garage when he suddenly saw a familiar figure flash by as he passed the supermarket.
She frowned, widened her eyes, and when she tried to look again, the person was already gone.
He was momentarily stunned; he must have misread it.
When he called Bai Zhenzhu today, she clearly said that she would be studying in the school library tonight because she had an exam in a few days.
Although Shi Jin really wanted to see her, he held back, not wanting to interfere with Bai Zhenzhu's studies.
But he was still a little uneasy, so he took out his phone and called Bai Zhenzhu to confirm.
But it was cut off by the white pearl.
Ten minutes later, Bai Zhenzhu sent a WeChat message.
I'm studying in the library right now, is there anything I can help you with?
Then she attached a photo she had secretly taken of other students studying in the library. The photo was taken by Yoon Ga-hee, who was studying in the library, and sent to her by Baek Jin-joo.
Shi Jin, who was initially only 50% suspicious, is now 80% suspicious.
He had read some psychology books. He believed that if someone like Bai Zhenzhu, who had never done anything like reporting before, suddenly reported to you one day, along with evidence, it must be because she felt guilty and was eager to prove her "innocence."
To confirm his guess, Shi Jin came out of the underground parking garage again and turned around to go to the library.
...
He first went to the library front desk and used his connections to check Bai Zhenzhu's records of entering and leaving the library that night, since every student entering the library would swipe their campus card.
The receptionist told her that Bai Zhenzhu hadn't come in tonight, and that Bai Zhenzhu hadn't clocked in for almost a month.
Shi Jin frowned and slammed his fists heavily on the marble tabletop of the reception desk, making a dull thud.
He's very angry right now, teetering on the edge of a fit of rage.
Bai Zhenzhu tricked him again!
Is he really that stupid, letting her deceive him time and time again?!
He suddenly remembered the figure in the neighborhood, and the man who seemed to be with him...
He was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood!
He turned to leave the library and happened to run into Yoon Ga-hee, who was also leaving the library.
Yin Jiaxi was chatting with a suitor with her head down when she looked up and met Shi Jin's bloodshot eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
She was so startled that she almost fell over.
"Young Master Shi? You, what are you doing here?"
"Where is Bai Zhenzhu? Where is Bai Zhenzhu? Who is she with? Tell me!"
Shi Jin roared in the quiet library.
Yin Jiaxi glanced at the disapproving looks from her classmates and immediately whispered, "Young Master Shi, calm down and listen to me..."
Shi Jin was already furious and couldn't control his emotions. The thought that Bai Zhenzhu had lied to him again, and that she might even be with another man, made him want to explode in anger.
He gritted his teeth and asked solemnly, word by word, "Tell me, where is the white pearl?"
"Young Master Shi, Pearl just received a phone call and left the library. I'm not sure where she is right now. I'm sorry..."
Yin Jiaxi is quite afraid of Shi Jin, so it really tests her acting skills to make her lie in front of Shi Jin.
However, for the sake of my best friend's happiness, I have to tell this lie clearly!
"Did Bai Zhenzhu teach you to lie to me like this? Do you think I, Shi Jin, am a complete fool?"
Shi Jin's hawk-like eyes stared intently at Yin Jiaxi, leaving her nowhere to hide and causing her to immediately show her fear.
He stammered, "Young Master Shi, I... I really didn't lie to you. I truly don't know where Pearl went."
Shi Jin knew he wouldn't get any more information, so he turned around and prepared to go to the neighborhood to find Bai Zhenzhu himself.
After seeing Shi Jin disappear into the library, Yin Jiaxi immediately took out her phone to call Bai Zhenzhu to warn her.
"Pearl, my goodness, answer the phone! If you don't answer, Young Master Shi is going to kill someone!"
It took three calls to finally get through.
"Hey, Jiaxi, what's the rush? I'm at my senior's house getting ready for dinner!"
"Pearl, something terrible has happened! Young Master Shi has come looking for you at the library!"
Bai Zhenzhu immediately hung up the phone, her heart pounding with anxiety.
He put on his coat, grabbed his bag, and rushed into the kitchen. He said to Su Yizheng, who was still cooking, "Um, senior, something came up at home, so I have to go back first. I won't have dinner tonight. We can talk about it another day when I have time."
Just as Su Yi was about to take off his apron to ask her what had happened, she ran away in a flash.
