Becoming The White Lotus Queen Of The Noble Academy Chapter 16
byChapter 16 16
Tan Quelu looked natural, without even looking at the other two young masters, she walked straight to Zhong Wan with a pure smile: “Zhong Wan, what do you want from me?”
He was still wearing an old T-shirt today, and his face was so white that it almost glowed in the sun.There was a vague citrus scent, very familiar, the smell of the hand sanitizer provided by St. Weston.
Zhong Wan looked at the green bird and forgot his words for a moment.
The two hours last night were so wonderful, like a dream he imagined.
But it was only at this moment, with Tan Quelu standing in front of him, looking at him with those bright eyes, that Zhong Wan felt his heart gently fall back to its original position.
Not fake.
Not a dream.
Someone really wished him a happy birthday, smiled at him sincerely, gave him handmade gifts, and accompanied him across the sea-crossing bridge on a summer night.
Very good.
Zhong Wan’s always cold eyes softened slightly for a moment.Just for a moment, he quickly became deliberately indifferent again, frowning and staring at Tan Quelu: “Why didn’t you change the clothes I bought for you yesterday?”
“You know it’s ugly when you’re still wearing these rags.”
Tanquelu smiled and raised her hand gently.
Zhong Wan was so excited that he thought he was going to slap him in public like last night. Is this okay?There were so many students standing nearby, including Xie Chenbi and Wei Zhiyan. If he was slapped in public, he might as well have been knocked to death.
The blond boy coughed violently, not daring to show off anymore, and said quickly and bluntly: “But it’s also very beautiful, um, it goes well with your skin color.”
Tan Quelu blinked, stretched out her hand to smooth her forehead, and smiled: “Really? I think so too. Thank you for the compliment.”
“You haven’t said what you’re here for yet.”
Zhong Wan coughed, handed the helmet to Tan Quelu, and motioned for him to get in the car: “Get in first.”
Crazy, thinking that he is a Weiguan, pretending to be old money.Tan Quelu didn’t answer and said with a smile: “So where are you going?”
“I have study schedule today and need to review.”
Wei Zhiyan clicked his tongue and said a little impatiently: “Have you heard? Ah Wan, he wants to study, so don’t disturb him.”
It was as if he had never heard of Tan Quelu, and he didn’t even give F3 a glance.
Zhong Wan didn’t know why, but suddenly felt a little happy.
He slightly raised the corners of his lips, and he didn’t feel that he was ignorant of the good news. He reluctantly explained: “It’s an internal auction. I will buy you something. You just follow me.”
It turned out that he was sending money.
Tan Quelu said, immediately took the helmet and put it on, crossed his long legs, and instantly sat on the back seat, looking down at him: “Let’s go then.”
Zhong Wan was not even angry.
Because when he sat in the car, he felt Tan Quelu suddenly stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Zhong Wan’s ears immediately felt hot under his helmet.
“Hold on.” His voice was cold and stiff: “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The words fell.
Zhong Wan left the two good brothers who were still there, roared, and set off with Tan Quelu in high spirits without looking back.
Wei Zhiyan: “…”
He must press Zhong Wan to have a look at his brain!
–
The auction Zhong Wan talked about appeared in the plot of the novel.
The system flipped through the original book: [This is the middle and later stages of the plot. The auction is held by the Xie family.The protagonist is working at an auction during the winter vacation, and accidentally encounters F2 and F3. He and F3 have an ambiguous push and pull in the dressing room…]
The system is confused: [Why is the protagonist Shou always working in the F3’s territory?】
Tan Quelu thought of Xia Xing who was still breaking down and taking a shower in the dormitory, blinked and said: “There must be someone up there.”】
The same is true for their temples, with a clear structure. Each palace has eight managers. The managers have divisions, and the divisions control the small bosses. The small bosses will then develop and go offline… No one has seen the leader of the entire organization, and only a few people can contact him.
This pattern was so familiar that on the first day I talked about it, I was keenly aware that something was wrong.
The director of Ou Niao Welfare Home should be the main character’s upline.
System worship: [The host is so awesome!He is worthy of being the central figure of the *education organization!】
Tan Quelu chuckled.
The black motorcycle soon arrived at the luxury club.It’s actually not far from St. Weston, less than ten minutes, and this is the result of F1 deliberately driving slowly.
System complaint: [Then why are F3s driving?Just show off!】
Zhong Wan casually threw the car keys to the doorman and glanced at the green collar: “Next time, put on the clothes I bought for you, you know.”
Tan Quelu was too lazy to pay attention to him, pretending not to hear, and looked at the club door timidly: “What do you want to buy me? Don’t make it too expensive, I can’t afford to pay for it.”
Zhong Wan sneered: “I, Zhong Wan, gave you away, and you still have to pay for it? Haha.”
Wei Zhiyan and Xie Chenbi happened to hear these words when they got out of the car.
Wei Zhiyan was fed up with his brother’s pretense, so he immediately stepped forward and interrupted: “What are you doing standing around? Come in, Shen Bi, this is your territory. Hurry up and entertain the little green bird, let’s go around.”
He pulled Zhong Wan away without any reason and said in a low voice: “I’ll go to the cubicle with you to talk about business, my project.”
Zhong Wan paused, turned around with a frown, and told Xie Shenbi in a cold voice: “Shen Bi, help me bring the bird to our box.”
He looked at the timid Tan Quelu, his heart softened, and he immediately said, “I’ll be there right away, just wait for me for five minutes.”
It was the first time for Tan Quelu to be on such an occasion, and she must have felt particularly uneasy and scared.
The young man nodded obediently and watched the two of them leave. He turned his head and looked at Xie Chenbi nervously: “President, let’s go.”
Xie Chenbi is the student union president of St. Weston, and this title is correct.
Xie Chenbi looked at him deeply with her dark eyes, said nothing, and walked toward the club.
Tan Quelu followed him through the corridor.The clubhouse is large and quiet, and employees are constantly bowing to Xie Chenbi to say hello.Xie Chenbi was obviously used to being surrounded by stars like this. He only nodded slightly and did not respond, acting like an evil capitalist.
The box is in the center of the second floor opposite the auction stage. It hasn’t officially started yet, so there aren’t many people in the audience.
The waiter opened the door respectfully. Tan Quelu was a little embarrassed and walked into the quiet and spacious room, as if he didn’t know where to sit.
Xie Chenbi stood in the shadow, looking at him with black eyes silently.
He felt that talking about love was very different from that day in the basketball gym.
At that time, Tan Quelu came out of the blood-covered break room and was able to scan the QR code to buy water. She smiled and asked him to help him unscrew the bottle cap and send it to Zhong Wan.This time, he was timid and silent, which was suspicious.
Is it because of an ordinary background that it is inevitable to show timidity?Then how come he happened to show up at the Zhong family manor yesterday and gave Zhong Wan a gift, making Zhong Wan so stupid as to be like this?
The waiter pretended not to notice Tan Qelu’s embarrassment, handed over the menu, and asked in a low voice respectfully: “What kind of drink would you like? With ice or at room temperature. Today we only provide hot cocoa and pure milk for hot drinks.”
Tan Quelu glanced at the menu, which was all in English.
He stuttered, raised his head and asked, “Is there any bottled water? Just room temperature.”
The waiter’s expression remained unchanged, and he smiled gently and said: “Of course, please wait a moment.”
After only half a minute, the waiter brought two bottles of room temperature bottled water.
He just picked it up.
Suddenly there was a slightly vibrating cell phone sound beside him.
It’s news from Xie Chenbi.
Tan Quelu didn’t pay attention. He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water. He saw a retro clock directly opposite, showing the time: [9:57].
He put down the water and looked at the box carefully.Xie Chenbi originally wanted to look at his phone, but was attracted by his actions. He glanced sideways for a moment and said indifferently: “What are you looking at.”
Tan Quelu was frightened and looked back timidly: “It’s nothing…sorry.”
Xie Chenbi frowned, but didn’t say anything for a long time.
Tan Quelu glanced at the clock again: [10:02].
He lowered his eyes and counted the threads on his clothes.
However, not long after, Xie Chenbi next to him clicked on his phone.After a few seconds, the other party stood up calmly, summoned a few waiters, and whispered something to them.
Suddenly, very fine hairs appeared on the back of Tan Quelu’s neck.
He reacted very quickly, without looking back, and swung his left hand to block it, quickly twisted the person’s arm upwards, and bent it hard without hesitation.
The crisp sound of broken bones was heard along with the screams.
Tan Quelu used her strength to hold his shoulders, and threw the vase on the table with her other hand, hitting the other waiter in the face with precision.He jumped up nimbly, turned over and quickly came to Xie Chenbi, his expression unchanged.
Everything happened so fast, in just a few seconds.
Xie Chenbi had no expectations of Tan Quelu’s skills, and he didn’t even make an excuse to go out before ordering someone to knock him out.So much so that he couldn’t react in time and was kicked hard in the chest by the other party.
The ribs were broken crisply. Xie Chenbi groaned, rolled down against the cold wall, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood with fragments of internal organs.
Tan Quelu picked up the electric baton that the waiter had dropped, turned around, and used ten seconds to deal with all the idle people, and jammed the door handle with his backhand.
Only then did the system react and scream in panic: [Host, what happened!Why does F2 suddenly attack you?】
Tan Quelu ignored it, grabbed Xie Chenbi’s hair and dragged him in, put him on the railing of the balcony on the second floor, and punched him.
This box has excellent privacy. The balcony is sealed with a single-sided glass, and only the number of placards is displayed on the screen outside.
So Xie Chenbi could only be held up on the balcony by Tan Quelu, and his nose bones were smashed with a punch.
The lights above his head were shining, and the young man looked pure and beautiful as before, with only his clean brows and eyes stained with a little scarlet.Xie Chenbi saw clearly the look in his eyes in severe pain – holy and compassionate, righteous and calm.
“Talk about…!”
Tan Quelu looked at his sinister gaze and felt that her first impression was right.
F2 is really gloomy.
He didn’t say anything, but directly reached for the mobile phone in F2’s trouser pocket, held down F2’s eyelids with one hand, and scanned the iris to unlock: [System, record F2’s iris immediately.】
【OK!】
The page stays in a dialog box.
[Master, we have found out all the things you asked us to investigate privately, and no one except me knows about it for the time being.]
[File.PDF]
Tanquelu clicks on the file.
Sure enough, it is all the files of the protagonist.
Tan Quelu looked down and remembered Xia Xing’s true identity: [Adopted son of Xia family of Wujiang Group, illegitimate son of Xie family of Tashan Group].
According to the information, Xia Xing actually didn’t know that he was the illegitimate son of the Xie family.
So he was implicated by the protagonist’s identity exposure and was suspected by Lian Zai?
The system screamed: [The host is finished!The protagonist Shou is actually the younger brother of F2. F2 has been an only child all these years. He will kill the protagonist Shou!】
[Shut up.】
Tan Quelu clicked on this subordinate’s business card, quickly memorized the phone number on it, and looked at Xie Chenbi: “When did you suspect Xia Xing.”
Xie Chenbi stared at him indifferently, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his sinister and cold face looked like a poisonous snake: “Are you from Xia Xing?”
The eldest young master’s expression was still aloof, as if he was determined that Tan Quelu would not really do anything to him.The Xie family started out as a medical practitioner, and no matter how serious the injury was, he could be cured at any cost, provided that he was still the sole heir of the Xie family.
Tan Quelu let go of him.
Then, with the unexpected sneer from the other party, he pulled out a fruit-cutting dagger from the coffee table, held the person down, and stabbed his terrified right eye with the knife.
“Ah!!”
This madman!!
Warm blood surged like a fountain, dyeing the young man’s pure porcelain face scarlet red.
“Answer me.”
Xie Chenbi breathed heavily and almost fainted, but Tan Quelu didn’t hear his answer. She held the dagger and wanted to pull it out and stab him in the left eye again.
Xie Chenbi immediately instinctively made a hoarse voice: “In the basketball gym, I felt something was wrong with you, so I asked someone to check… But there was nothing wrong with you, but it was your roommate…”
Let’s talk about love.
Therefore, he is the main target of suspicion. Is Xia Xing sitting together?
“I handed you water, but you doubted me.”
I just wanted to stun him.
Tan Quelu looked at Xie Chenbi with lowered eyes, full of compassion: “You are guilty.”
After saying that, he stabbed the opponent’s main artery with one knife.
Stand up and look up at the retro clock: [10:03]
Tan Quelu opened the door and ran with all her strength under the horrified gaze of the waiter in the corridor. There was only silence for two seconds, and then there was an extremely tragic scream.
He ignored it and counted down silently in his heart: 240 seconds, 239 seconds, 238 seconds, 237 seconds…
Tan Quelu ran out of the club, grabbed the keys to a Mercedes-Benz convertible from the doorman, jumped into the driver’s seat, and stepped on the accelerator.
Amid the screams, the convertible headed towards St. Weston like an arrow.Tan Quelu stretched out her hand and lifted up her blood-soaked hair in the strong wind, revealing her scarlet face and compassionate brows.
The system was too frightened to ask him what he wanted to do.
Tan Quelu’s driving skills were surprisingly good. He stepped on the accelerator to the extreme and didn’t hit anyone.The sports car approached St. Weston, blaring warning sirens.
The system couldn’t help but be anxious: [Host, the school gate is about to close. Stop quickly or you will be hit——!】
Loud bang.
Tan Quelu remained calm and smashed the railing. Under everyone’s horrified gaze, he quickly drove to Building 17 of Wenhua Building and quickly swiped his card upstairs to open the door.
In the living room, everything remained as it was when he left.
Only Xia Xing, who had rubbed himself blue, stood at the table, looking down at the mobile phone forum, gritting his teeth and cursing.
“Zhong Wan, you bitch, beast, and running dog! Die to the rich, die to all of you!”
“Money worshiper, you only like money when it comes to sex, don’t you? I also have money, why don’t you ask me for it!”
The door opens.
Xia Xing was startled, looked up and saw the innocent young man with blood on his face.
His voice was quickly stuck in his throat.
Tan Quelu lowered his head and gave Xia Xing a rare smile.
The next second.
The warm body was kicked away.
[The protagonist is dead…] The electronic voice trembled: [The world of the novel will restart in five minutes, and the file will be loaded back to five minutes before Xia Xing’s death!】
The protagonist’s screen is still on.
Time display: [10:07]
Tan Quelu poured herself a glass of water.
Great.
The stuck point is successful.
The author has something to say:
