Chapter 367: Chapter 371: After the Female Lead is Kidnapped (15)

That day, Wen Zhu hid behind a group of chattering classmates and watched as his brother, bloodied and limbs distorted, was carried away like a discarded doll by the garbage collectors.

Even after his death, the stigma attached to him did not disappear.

Everyone said his brother committed suicide out of fear of the crime he was about to be charged with.

Dead, yet still not at peace.

In the whole world, only he persisted in believing that his brother was innocent and had been framed.

He investigated tirelessly day and night.

Sure enough, he discovered a clue.

The senior who had accused his brother suddenly had a large sum of money in his account after the incident had subsided.

Soon, under the pretext of an exchange program, that senior went abroad to study, and shortly after, his family followed.

Following this lead, Wen Zhu exerted a lot of effort and finally found out the truth.

Ironically, his brother’s death was merely due to a man’s jealousy...

The junior who had shown interest in his brother was Su Yuan.

She had an argument with Chong Yongyi and, to spite him, confessed her feelings to a handsome senior at school.

Chong Yongyi indeed got furious, but he couldn’t bear to blame the girl he loved, so he directed all his anger at Wen Zhu’s brother.

Su Yuan offhandedly made a comment that day and then forgot all about it.

Upon learning what had happened to the senior she whimsically chose, she only remarked with a sigh, "I didn’t see the person clearly..."

Regrettably, his innocent brother was driven to death.

They were not the direct killers, but everything that happened was caused by them.

What he was doing to Su Yuan and Chong Yongyi now was nothing compared to what they had done to his brother.

At least, he was not making things up from nothing.

Wen Zhu wanted to retaliate against Su Yuan and Chong Yongyi, but he was just a poor student now.

Facing the towering giants, the slightest exposure of his intent would see him immediately crushed mercilessly.

Who would care whether he was an innocent...

He could only hide like a mouse in its burrow, watching for an opportunity to inflict a harmless bite on them.

But all this was still far from enough.

-------------

The more Su Li learned about Wen Zhu, the more she admired him.

He truly was a genius.

Hearing him describe in detail the direction of his project development...

The admiration in Su Li’s eyes only intensified.

The frail young man in front of her harbored a broad and magnificent world within his slender chest.

The concept of the Intelligent Brain he proposed was not new.

But given the current technology, no one thought the day would come when it would be realized.

Yet in the hands of this young man, such an idea was not only proposed but also partially accomplished.

When Wen Zhu talked about his scientific achievements, a dazzling glow emanated from him.

He spoke ceaselessly about his theories and then reached into his pocket to pull out a cellphone.

This cellphone looked like one of those cheap knockoffs you could buy off the street.

Even a thief wouldn’t bother to steal it.

Yet, once this knockoff was powered on, it underwent a remarkable transformation.

Su Li racked her brain but couldn’t think of enough adjectives to describe such a change.

If she had to put it into words, it was as if, after turning on, this phone had become a phone with a soul.

On the dimly lit phone screen, a green cactus Life spoke animatedly.

"Miss, you are so beautiful..."

"Miss, can I make friends with you?"

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, my name is Green Hat. Isn’t it interesting? I’ve found that you humans have a special emotion towards the name ’Green Hat,’ so isn’t it memorable?"

...

Watching as Xiao Zhi’s comments became more and more outrageous, Wen Zhu blushed and quickly turned off his phone.

Su Li stared at Wen Zhu with a weird look in her eyes.

I didn’t expect you to be such a guy...

Wen Zhu hurriedly explained, "I... I just randomly set its personality, I didn’t expect it to upgrade itself to be this sophisticated..."

Su Li waved her hand, "No need to explain, I understand."

Wen Zhu didn’t pursue the deep meaning hidden in the "I understand" mentioned by the other party.

He always felt it wasn’t something he wanted to know.

Su Li was quite impressed with Wen Zhu’s Intelligent Brain, which called itself Green Hat.

It already showed early signs of becoming a true Intelligent Brain.

This truly was a cross-era innovation.

Su Li curiously asked, "Just by using Green Hat as a decoy, you’d have people rushing to help you without getting your own hands dirty, why bother?"

Wen Zhu, stunned, just managed an "Ah," totally not expecting such a tactic.

After a long pause, he squeezed out, "I... I didn’t want to spoil my own efforts..."

Su Li: "..." He really is a naive academic guy.

Su Li thought, if she hadn’t arrived, just with Wen Zhu’s disposition, not to mention taking revenge on Chong Yongyi and Su Yuan, he probably wouldn’t have managed to do anything before getting killed.

Su Li was only making a rough guess, but little did she know, her speculation inadvertently hit the nail on the head.

In her previous life, without Su Li’s appearance, the original owner was killed by Su Yuan’s bodyguard at their very first meeting.

The tech guy Wen Zhu didn’t fare any better; he too was trying to sabotage Su Yuan and Chong Yongyi.

But before he caused them any significant harm, he was exposed.

With Chong Yongyi’s nature, he wouldn’t tolerate someone with ill intentions against them remaining in this world.

After all, Wen Zhu in his previous life was just a sacrificial figure.

A potential tech whiz, he met his demise amid these trivial matters.

Chong Yongyi and Su Yuan’s seemingly perfect love was in fact built on the blood and gore of others.

Having spent time in the interstellar world, although she spent her days in leisure, her vision was still higher than Wen Zhu’s.

Just a slight nudge from her was enough to clear many of Wen Zhu’s mental blockages.

Inspiration and ideas started flowing in.

Seeing Wen Zhu lost in his frenzied thoughts, Su Li decided not to disturb him.

She dropped a line, "I’ll print out the contract for you tomorrow."

As Su Li got up to leave, unbeknownst to her, the click-click of phone cameras mixed into the crowd noises.

Su Li slightly tilted her head, seemingly noticing, but it didn’t bother her at all.

The next day, under a post about the "gloomy guy" from the computer science department possibly dating a beautiful girl, a new post appeared.

It confirmed that Wen Zhu of the computer science department was indeed dating a pretty young lady.

The post had a picture from a milk tea shop outside the school, a favorite among couples; gloomy guy Wen Zhu was all smiles, while the pretty young girl rested her chin on her hands, smiling back.
