Ji Yuanyuan’s legs felt weak. She quickly supported himself with the table beside her and slowly sat down on the chair.
“What’s wrong with you?” Cao Xiaorui felt a little strange.
Even if she was afraid, she shouldn’t be frightened to this extent, right?
Ji Yuanyuan’s lips trembled and she could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Cao Xiaorui started to feel a little scared. She went forward and squatted in front of Ji Yuanyuan. She gently patted Ji Yuanyuan’s face. “Yuanyuan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me…”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Cao Xiaorui, and his eyes slowly began to focus. “I… I’ve seen Duan Wenguang before.”
She said incoherently.
“What?” Cao Xiaorui was a little surprised.
“Half a month ago, Duan Wenguang stopped me on the way and said he had something to ask for my help. At that time, he was already a little off. He looked very depressed. But at that time, I still minded that he had said something bad to me in front of Zhou Hua, so I only gave him five minutes. In the end, he didn’t say anything and turned to leave. Now that I think about it…” Did something happen to Duan Wenguang, and he found her actually wanted to ask her for help?
However, although she had given him five minutes, her attitude was that of
refusal.
It was precisely because Duan Wenguang discovered this point that he didn’t
say anything and directly left.
Ji Yuanyuan felt extremely guilty.
If only she could seriously listen to Duan Wenguang’s words at that time.
Even if she couldn’t help him, she might be able to enlighten him.
That way, Duan Wenguang wouldn’t have died.
Cao Xiaorui listened to Ji Yuanyuan’s words and felt that it was a pity.
Duan Wenguang was indeed a very outstanding student. Although he was considered to be in an opposing relationship with their group, he had a rare talent for medicine.
If he died just like that, it would be a loss for the entire school and the medical world.
She stretched out her hand and patted Ji Yuanyuan’s back, “Don’t think like that. You’re not related to him at all. You have no obligation to help him. The one who killed him is the one who made him collapse, not you.
Ji Yuanyuan merely did not help, that was insignificant.
Wu Qiuyun had unknowingly appeared behind Ji Yuanyuan.
She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression darkened.
“Hiss…” Cao Xiaorui suddenly gasped and covered her mouth.
Ji Yuanyuan and Wu Qiuyun looked at Cao Xiaorui at the same time.
“Teacher Wu, during the first semester of my second year, something happened in our school. At that time, it was quite fierce, but the Internet was not as developed as it is now, so the matter was quickly suppressed. You should still remember, right?” Cao Xiaorui asked softly.
Cao Xiaorui was one grade higher than Ji Yuanyuan. When she was in her second year of university, it was the first semester of Ji Yuanyuan’s first year of university.
At that time, they had just arrived at the school and were unfamiliar with everything in the school. They were not well-informed and had not heard anything.
Wu Qiuyun remained silent.
“Senior Sister, what happened?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.
It was impossible for Cao Xiaorui to mention this matter for no reason. It might have something to do with Duan Wenguang’s suicide.
Cao Xiaorui saw that Wu Qiuyun did not object, so she whispered to Ji Yuanyuan about what happened back then, “Back then, there was an outstanding senior who jumped into the lake and committed suicide. The corpse should have been thrown into the lake at night. The next morning, the body floated on the lake. When I went to class that morning, I passed by the lake. At that time, when I looked at it from afar, I only felt that it was a little strange and did not think in that direction. Later, I found out that what I saw was a senior’s corpse.”
Cao Xiaorui’s expression didn’t look too good when she talked about what happened back then.
“I was only a sophomore at the time, and that senior was already a third-year graduate. He was only half a year away from graduating. So I don’t know him. I’ve never even heard of his name. I had only heard from my classmates that the senior was very outstanding. He came from a rural village and was the only child in the family. After losing their only child, his parents went crazy. He came to the school to pull up a banner and insisted on pushing the responsibility of the senior’s suicide to his postgraduate tutor.” Ji Yuanyuan seemed to have thought of something and her brows slowly furrowed.
Cao Xiaorui continued, “1 heard that Senior’s parents were holding a banner at the west gate. I passed by there several times, but I didn’t see them. About a month later, no one mentioned this matter again. I quickly forgot about it until my fifth year. Everyone was busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and choosing a mentor. After researching a few mentors in our school, I found that Zhou Hua’s reputation was the best. So, I actually wanted to choose Zhou Hua back then.
Although it was inappropriate, Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously looked at Wu
Qiuyun.
HOW ridiculous. Wu Qiuyun’s only two students had both chosen Zhou Hua as their first choice.
Wu Qiuyun’s expression remained indifferent. No one knew what she was thinking.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly retracted her gaze.
“At the graduation party, a classmate drank too much and talked about what happened back then. It was only then that I found out that the senior who committed suicide was Zhou Hua’s student. At that time, I decided not to choose Zhou Hua as my mentor. However, Zhou Hua doesn’t like me either…” Cao Xiaorui laughed at herself.
Ji Yuanyuan sat on the chair and did not speak for a long time.
Five years ago, Zhou Hua’s student committed suicide.
Five years ago, Zhou Hua and Teacher Wu parted ways. Five years ago, Zhou Hua hooked up with the principal’s daughter.
It was also five years ago that Zhou Hua was rated highly.
So, what exactly happened five years ago?
“What happened five years ago is happening again. Is it a coincidence?” Cao Xiaorui seemed to be talking to herself, but she also seemed to be asking Wu
Qiuyun.
Wu Qiuyun’s expression was dark, and she did not say anything.
A moment later, she left the laboratory.
Before she left, she instructed Cao Xiaorui and Ji Yuanyuan. “Record the experimental data.”
After Wu Qiuyun left, Ji Yuanyuan stood up from her chair as if she had just woken up from a dream.
She ran to the door, but Wu Qiuyun was already gone.
Standing at the door, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly had a thought, “Did Wu Qiuyun really part ways with Zhou Hua because of the research project and the principal’s daughter?”
Ji Yuanyuan stood rooted to the ground, feeling a ripple in her heart.
In the principal’s office.
Principal Zheng Guo dropped the teacup on the floor.
The porcelain cup broke into several pieces on the ground and rolled to Zhou Hua’s feet.
Zhou Hua didn’t dare to move. He lowered his head and stared at the debris by his feet.
“is someone like you worthy of being a teacher? I warned you five years ago that this kind of thing must never happen again. Otherwise, your future, my future and the future of the school will all be affected. Didn’t you agree to it.” Zheng Guo was so angry that his face turned red. However, he still lowered his voice and asked patiently..
