Chapter 29 Accomplice?
Ji Yunzhou opened the notebook and scanned the pages with an expressionless face, as if he was looking at a bunch of insignificant numbers.
Gu Yuan, who shared his senses, felt his mind shaken violently as each page turned, and he almost froze.
On the paper, there are lines of handwriting, some neat, some sloppy, and some even torn through the back of the paper due to excessive force.
It nakedly records the entire process of a young genius from hope to despair.
Initially, I was excited and ambitious about joining the project team, and I felt admiration and gratitude for my mentor Zhang Yifei.
Then, confusion and uneasiness gradually spread between the lines...
His ideas were cleverly appropriated by Zhang Yifei, and his unique thoughts were published in the name of his mentor.
What follows is obscure pain and struggle.
On those nights of "individual instruction," the door was locked and the atmosphere became sticky and suffocating.
The words began to tremble, filled with self-doubt and shame.
Certain passages were repeatedly erased or blurred by tears.
What was imposed on him was not only academic plunder, but also even more sordid and unspeakable coercion and violation.
Betrayals followed one after another.
After discovering the clues, his trusted girlfriend not only did not stand on his side, but instead became another bargaining chip for Zhang Yifei to threaten and control him.
There were fragments of her photos tucked into the diary.
He placed his feeble hopes on the Internet, but what he got in return was onlookers who watched the fun, malicious speculation, and even mockery of his abilities and insults to his character.
"Paranoia," "Professor who is trying to scam people," "He's crazy about being famous"...
Every stroke, every stroke, is like a cold needle...
All exits were blocked and all lights were extinguished.
The heavy feeling of despair almost overflowed through the back of the paper.
The handwriting on the last few pages was completely out of control, crazy and chaotic, full of desperate scribblings and repeated "whys".
In the end, everything came to a halt.
The once dazzling young genius, carrying with him all the humiliation, anger and unwillingness, jumped from the highest point, trying to end it all in the most decisive way.
However, death is not the end.
The person who should be punished still acts hypocritically, stealing all the fruits of his wisdom with justification, sitting firmly in the position of professor, and enjoying flowers and applause.
But he turned into a wronged soul that could only wander and cry in this small space, with no one paying attention to him!
How could he not hate this?
This hatred is so overwhelming that it can corrode your bones and burn your heart!
Just then.
“Tick…tick…tick…”
Suddenly, clear and hurried footsteps were heard outside the quiet corridor!
Quickly approach towards Room 414!
Ji Yunzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly closed the diary before sliding silently into the darkest shadow behind the door.
Completely blended into the darkness.
Almost at the same time, two beams of flashlight pierced the darkness of the corridor and stopped shakily at the door of Room 414.
"The spell on the door... is broken!"
A man who sounded a bit old and full of panic shouted in a low voice: "Someone went in!"
The door was pushed open with a bang!
A middle-aged man wearing a shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked gentle and refined, rushed in, his face full of panic and ferocity.
Following behind him was a slightly younger man who looked like an assistant or security guard.
Gu Yuan instantly recognized the leader in his consciousness.
It’s the “respected” Professor Zhang Yifei in the photo!
Zhang Yifei quickly swept the flashlight across the empty, dusty dormitory, and the beam finally stopped on the open, empty drawer.
"I'm a step too late!"
He spoke through gritted teeth, his voice trembling slightly with anger and fear.
"What should we do, Professor Zhang?"
The assistant beside him looked around nervously: "If...if Mo Lin's affairs are exposed, we...you will be finished!"
Zhang Yifei's face turned ashen and his eyes were terrifyingly sinister.
He forced himself to remain calm and used the flashlight to carefully check several corners of the room, under the bed, and even looked up at the ceiling.
But he completely failed to notice "Gu Yuan" who was standing almost back to back with him and hidden in the shadows behind the door.
"Walk!"
Zhang Yifei squeezed out a word from between his teeth, his tone resolute: "We must get rid of 'those things' before they do...completely! We can't leave any more trouble behind!"
The viciousness in his tone made Gu Yuan, who was hiding in the dark, feel a chill in his heart.
The two came and left quickly. The footsteps sounded again and they disappeared hurriedly at the end of the corridor.
After the footsteps faded away completely, Ji Yunzhou calmly emerged from the shadows, holding the crucial diary in his hand, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth.
"No wonder a brat like Morin couldn't get close to him to take revenge."
He casually played with the diary. "He carries a powerful exorcism charm, and the power is not weak... Of course, that is for Morin. In my eyes, it is no different from a piece of waste paper."
"I see……"
Gu Yuan pondered in his mind: "That's why he is so fearless."
"More than that?"
Ji Yunzhou flipped through the diary, stopped at a certain page, and glanced at a frequently appearing female name, Song Qingqing.
There are also several obscure records about "her" being "close" to my mentor and "advising me to be patient."
He uttered a knowing sneer, and his tone became meaningful:
"I suspect that Mo Lin's girlfriend...is more than just a betrayal. It's possible that she and Zhang Yifei were in cahoots from the very beginning, and were planted by his side...an accomplice."
"What do we do now?"
Gu Yuan asked: "Call the police?"
Ji Yunzhou sneered, "Why do you think that is? Jichen was able to find information about Mo Lin being sexually assaulted, but it didn't make a big splash. Everyone in the school is in cahoots. Calling the police might just be walking into a trap."
He thought for a moment, then suddenly revealed a dangerous smile: "Since I promised you to save your friends, let's resolve this matter once and for all."
"What are you going to do?" Gu Yuan had a bad feeling.
"Catch the leader first."
Ji Yunzhou said as he walked out: "Let's go find him directly."
"Wait! You're just going like that?"
Gu Yuan exclaimed: "We need to at least make a plan!"
"plan?"
Ji Yunzhou chuckled: "In the face of absolute power, there is no need for plans."
Maureen was leading the way, and seemed to know where to go.
They avoided the main corridor and headed towards the administration building along a lesser-known passage.
The closer you get to the administrative building, the more oppressive the air becomes.
Strange symbols flickered and disappeared on the wall.
"Oh, it seems your principal has spent a lot of money on bribery."
Ji Yunzhou commented mockingly, "Only those with a hollow heart would wish to seal off every corner."
The corridor of the administrative building was eerily quiet late at night, but if you listened carefully, you could hear some unusual, subtle moans drifting in intermittently.
Gu Yuan felt uneasy: "Ji Yunzhou... did you hear that? There seemed to be some sound..."
Ji Yunzhou raised the corner of his mouth, revealing an expression of watching a show: "Let's go, I'll take you to the scene to catch the adulterer."
The closer we got to the principal's office, the clearer the sound became.
It was a conversation between a man and a woman in low voices, mixed with some unnatural noises.
Morin, who was floating in front, suddenly froze and stopped there without moving.
"Gu Yuan" pushed the door open.
It's a really eye-catching scene inside.
"Who are you? Who let you in?"
The principal was so frightened that he instantly wilted and hurriedly pulled his clothes to cover his body.
Two white bodies were frantically putting on clothes.
The woman looked up, a look of panic on her face.
Gu Yuan gasped in his consciousness: That was Mo Lin’s most trusted girlfriend, Song Qingqing.
