Chapter 366: Chapter 370: After the Female Protagonist is Kidnapped and Sold (14)

Su Li’s crisp voice suddenly fell silent, and the previously noisy surroundings hushed in an instant.

Many people thought there was something wrong with their ears and eyes.

Otherwise, why would this beautiful girl treat the gloomy guy in the class differently?

Indeed, Wen Zhu’s image was not appealing.

His sullen and silent expression completely ruined his otherwise delicate features.

He lacked both a sunny appearance and a cheerful personality.

Besides being good at his studies, he was also widely known as someone from a poor household.

His family consisted of a frail single mother, and he had to rely on scholarships to support them.

Considering all factors, there were plenty of boys better than Wen Zhu, and everyone couldn’t understand why no one chose such an old-fashioned way to hit on someone who couldn’t even make a public appearance.

Could it be that this Beauty’s eyes were bad?

Wen Zhu acutely felt the envious glares from around him.

He didn’t like trouble; no matter how beautiful the other party was, it wouldn’t move him.

He was thinking of rejecting her when just one sentence from her made his expression stiffen.

Su Li also saw the boy in front of her frowning, seemingly wanting to refuse.

Before he could speak, she stepped forward a few steps, and whispered into Wen Zhu’s ear just centimeters away, "I did clean up your tracks, otherwise the Chong Family would have found you by now... Aren’t you going to thank me?"

The others didn’t hear what Su Li had said, but seeing her intimate posture with Wen Zhu, they all gasped.

This Wen Zhu really had some damn good luck with women, to be treated so affectionately by a Beauty.

They were indeed envious...

Wen Zhu tensed up, his heart pounding violently, struggling to keep calm, he hoarsely asked, feigning composure, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Su Li chuckled softly, "Really don’t understand?"

"Let’s go discuss a topic that the Chong Family might also be interested in."

After saying this, Su Li took a step back and turned to walk ahead, as if sure that the person behind would definitely follow.

Just as Su Li expected, Wen Zhu, with lips pursed and head down, stood still for a moment then quickly followed.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, the corners of Su Li’s lips slightly curled upward.

The two entered a romantically styled milk tea shop just outside the school gates.

The place was popular amongst university students in the area because of its good atmosphere and reasonable prices.

When Su Li walked in, it even caused a small gasp.

When Wen Zhu followed in, the people in the shop looked at him with weird glances.

Wen Zhu was used to such looks and didn’t take them to heart.

At that moment, his mind was occupied by only one thing.

How did she know? What was her purpose?

Su Li found a corner seat surrounded by potted plants and decorations, a natural barrier that made it difficult for others to see inside, offering great privacy.

Once seated, Wen Zhu’s gaze intently turned towards Su Li.

Su Li, unhurriedly, had the waitress bring over two cups of milk tea and a few perfectly baked small cakes.

During this time, the waitress couldn’t help but glance several times at Wen Zhu, her eyes full of astonishment.

If her eyes’ expression were to be translated into words,

It would be, "You gloomy guy, what merit do you have to deserve dining with a Beauty?"

Wen Zhu: "..."

Even if he didn’t care about the outside world’s gaze, Wen Zhu, repeatedly encountering those glares, couldn’t help but tighten his lips into a straight line.

After the waiter left, Wen Zhu’s patience had already been exhausted.

He couldn’t wait to speak, "You, your purpose?"

Always keeping his mouth shut, his voice, which had not engaged in conversation for a long time, had a rough, gravelly tone.

As soon as he heard his own voice, Wen Zhu felt a peculiar awkwardness and stealthily glanced over at Su Li.

After realizing this small action, Wen Zhu grew even more annoyed.

Su Li was nearly amused by the awkwardness of the big boy.

Not wanting to keep it a secret any longer, he stated his purpose directly.

"You don’t need to worry about my purpose, just know that I can help you."

"I know you have a technology in your hands..."

If knowing that Su Li was aware that he was the one secretly tripping up Jing University’s beauty Su Yuan was shocking and slightly panic-inducing, it didn’t cause Wen Zhu to completely lose his composure.

But Su Li’s words that followed completely disrupted his calm.

"How did you know?"

The technology he held pertained to science, and no one knew he had already developed a part of it on his own.

However, he was now stuck at an impasse; the project couldn’t move forward at all.

This concept was very avant-garde, surpassing the current technology of the era.

If this technology were to succeed, it would definitely change the current technological landscape.

Hua Country’s technology would advance at least thirty years faster.

Su Li ignored Wen Zhu’s question and instead started on another topic, "I can help you realize your vision."

"As for the purpose you’re so keen on pursuing, just think of it as, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Helping a friend, isn’t that what should be done?"

Wen Zhu nodded in sudden realization.

Indeed, she knew everything.

Wen Zhu accepted very quickly; as long as he could achieve his purpose, he was willing to cooperate with whatever the other party wanted to do.

Su Li extended a hand, "Pleased to cooperate."

Wen Zhu actually wasn’t originally surnamed Wen.

Before junior high, his surname was Wen, and he was named Wen Zhu.

Until his parents divorced and he followed his mother to move to a distant place, changed his name, and took his mother’s surname.

All who knew him didn’t know that he actually had an older brother, just one year his senior.

His brother had always been with their father, and they hadn’t been in contact for many years.

It wasn’t until he entered university in Jing City that the two brothers met and resumed their interaction.

His brother was very impressive, the top scorer in science on their local college entrance exam and had been admitted to Jing University.

Unlike him, good in one particular subject, he could only attend a tier-two college.

Moreover, his mother was happy to see his brother, and it seemed to lift her spirits and improve her health a bit.

If things continued like this, their lives were bound to keep getting better.

But then...

From the moment his brother shyly told him about a girl at school who had expressed her feelings for him, everything unraveled like a horse breaking free from its reins.

Even though he hadn’t done anything, hadn’t even had the chance to respond to the girl’s declaration, a nightmare sequence of events followed.

He was discovered stealing other seniors’ scientific research results in the lab.

He was expelled, and malicious public opinion... all became the executioners driving him to his end.

But Wen Zhu firmly believed that his brother was nothing like what they claimed.
