Lin Weiwei felt uneasy about the new classmate's overly enthusiastic attitude. Why would a complete stranger be so attentive? Judging from her instinctive reaction as a secret agent, Lin Weiwei sensed this woman was unusual and immediately refused, saying, "No need, that's my business."
After class, she grabbed her bag and left first. Perhaps she was overthinking it; after all, new classmates also want to integrate into the class as soon as possible. But she doesn't like being in a group; she's gotten used to being alone after so many years.
A sports car was already parked outside the school gate. Li Yao was smoking a cigarette and waiting for her in the passenger seat. He actually smoked... Why had she never seen him smoke in front of her before?
"Weiwei, don't go with him!" Xiao Se chased after him all the way out. He also saw Li Yao in the distance and felt as if he had forgotten something. But as soon as he saw him, he was filled with hatred and resentment.
Li Yao threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and slowly walked over. When he saw Weiwei, he knelt on one knee. "I'm sorry, Weiwei, I didn't mean to. I always eat alone, and I have some germaphobia that I never told you."
Yes, Li Yao has had obsessive-compulsive disorder since childhood and never eats with his family. The nausea caused by his obsessive-compulsive disorder makes him extremely uncomfortable even to hear the sound of someone chewing food. As a result, he didn't have many friends growing up. His favorite person was his nephew, Xiao Se, but Xiao Se became more and more disobedient as he grew older.
"You deserve it. You're full of bad intentions. I don't want to eat with you either; just seeing you makes me want to throw up."
Xiao Se looked at Li Yao with disdain. This old man was still so persistent in his pursuit of a young woman. No family member wanted to invite him during holidays because he always brought his own bowls and chopsticks, which made people uncomfortable. Also, the whole family had to eat separately, which was something his housekeeper had mentioned; they could go through five different maids a month.
“Little Se Se, I am your elder, and I went through a lot of connections to help your father get your Gohruma drug.” Li Yao was clearly angered by Xiao Se’s words, but because Weiwei was there, he had to suppress his inner rage.
What!
He'd actually gotten the medicine! He should have known better than to take it, damn it… He rummaged through the half-bottle left in his backpack. Three pills a day—this kind of medicine would only last a month at most. Looking at the production location behind him, knowing where it was, he could easily buy it even at a high price.
“I won’t need you to worry about me anymore. Elder? You and your sister are the same, you both like to take other people’s things.”
Lin Weiwei, caught in the middle listening to the two men's argument, felt her ears buzzing like two flies. She was in a particularly bad mood today, so she went up and slapped both of them hard across the face.
"First, I am not an object and do not belong to anyone. I am Lin Weiwei."
Secondly, I don't like being followed wherever I go.
Third, if I see you two arguing every time you meet again, I'll be like this tree.
She vented her anger by punching an old squirrel tree, three meters long, outside the school gate. The tree, decades old, sent fallen leaves swirling through the air, making the two men tremble for a moment before the tree snapped with a crisp crack and fell to the ground.
Xiao Se swallowed hard; this feeling was all too familiar. When he turned his head to apologize, she had already vanished.
"No need to look anymore, they're long gone, stalker."
Li Yao took off his coat, which was covered in fallen leaves and bird droppings, and threw it in the trash can. He couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of dirt. It's okay, she needs time to accept and think about it; girls her age are bound to overthink.
"Hey, I'm talking about you, you old geezer! You're so angry, aren't you? Come and hit me!"
Lin Weiwei has already denied your relationship, so what's there to brag about? In other words, I, Xiao Se, am still her first man. He made a face at Li Yao with a triumphant expression.
"That's incredibly childish!" Li Yao pushed up his glasses, turned around to drive his car, and didn't even glance at him again.
Watching Li Yao leave, he breathed a sigh of relief. This Gore-moxicillin must not pass through his hands again, otherwise this guy will feel like he owes him a huge favor. I'm a man, and if I say I absolutely don't need your help, then I absolutely don't need it.
Xiao Han's words during the day reminded him that even while guarding against Han Han's pursuit, he also needed to be wary of Li Yao's advances. It seemed he'd have to sneak around tonight to see what this old man was up to. He narrowed his eyes, a plan forming in his mind.
As planned, he arrived at the door of Li Yao's research lab dressed in black night clothes, switched to the facial recognition system, and took out a childhood photo of the two of them. "Li Yao, Li Yao, who told you to take such good care of yourself? You haven't changed at all over the years. Even the system automatically recognizes you."
After successfully entering, he looked at the area codes of each building. The back door passage on the second floor of the laboratory should be nearby. However, a white hearse lurking around caught his attention. Why would there be such a vehicle here so late at night? Had someone died?
So he stole a white coat from the car, put on a gas mask and a shower cap, and went up to the second floor via the stairwell. Just then, he saw funeral home staff coming out. "Why are you so slow? We've got everything sorted out. We'll split the money later."
"Uh, where's the restroom? You guys go first," Xiao Se said in a low voice, keeping his head down and avoiding their gaze.
"Too much trouble. Go straight and turn left. The client said not to wander off to other areas."
Not allowed to wander around? Something's definitely fishy. He followed their directions and hid in the restroom for a moment. After hearing them leave, he came out again. Looking at the iron gate next to the restroom, which used facial recognition, he placed his photo on his face, and the red ultraviolet light scanned his skin.
Recognition failed
The hazard lights were flashing intermittently; the system seemed too secure. I decided to try a password. First, I entered his birthday, and the hazard lights flashed again. Still no luck! I tried entering random numbers, but nothing happened.
Time passed slowly, and I was sweating profusely.
He decided to try his stepmother's birthday; the siblings had a good relationship, so it couldn't be wrong. Ding-dong! It opened. His throat tightened, and after seeing what was inside, he felt nauseous and ran out in a panic, only managing to catch his breath at the foot of the mountain after taking off his coat.
I took a taxi and called Lin Weiwei's new number while in the car. She's quick-witted and well-informed, and she knew about the number change immediately.
“Weiwei, listen to me, Li Yao is really dangerous. He... he put Principal Xia and the genius boy Li Quan’s heads in his laboratory.”
It was terrifying; it was the first time I'd ever seen a head staring at him with wide eyes.
"That's his business. Li Yao is a research expert. Maybe he can find some clues by keeping these bodies with him. Also! How did you get my new number?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Weiwei said irritably, "Only the new classmate asked for her number, so it must have been her who leaked it. They're in cahoots."
