Chapter 145: So Scary

Chapter 145 So Scary

The old professor’s class never had many students; usually, the classroom was mostly empty.

But today, the classroom was overflowing.

The back rows were full of onlookers standing and holding up their phones, while the students who actually signed up for the course couldn’t find a seat and were squeezed into the corners.

Shu Lin stood rather awkwardly at the classroom door, looking anxiously at the old professor standing on the podium.

The old professor’s eyebrows were practically knotted together, and his tone carried a hint of jest:

“So, Shu Lin, is this your reason for missing class last time?”

Shu Lin’s ears burned: “I’m sorry, Professor, I…”

“Alright,” the old professor said with an amused smile, “Thanks to you, my class has this many people for the first time. It’s practically history in the making.”

After speaking, the old professor turned to the restless crowd and shouted sternly:

“Quiet! This is a classroom, not a fan meet.”

“Those who are not enrolled in my course, please leave. Don’t disturb my students.”

His shout instantly quieted the room.

Under the old professor’s stern gaze, the irrelevant people left one after another.

As the old professor locked the door, Shu Lin quickly returned to his seat.

With the old professor in charge, the two-hour lecture was relatively peaceful.

However, as soon as the class ended, chaos erupted again.

As soon as the classroom door opened, a swarm of people rushed in.

“Shu Senior! Can I get your autograph? I’ve listened to your dubbing of ‘Breaking Waves’ ten times!”

Fortunately, the bodyguard blocked the outstretched hand of the girl in the front row.

Shu Lin nodded and smiled politely, never stopping.

Suddenly, a reporter rushed forward, “Can Mr. Shu Lin talk about the inside story of the Military Police? We all…”

The bodyguard blocked the reporter’s camera. “I’m sorry, Mr. Shu Lin does not accept any interviews. Please make way.”

A five-minute walk took more than twenty minutes.

All along the way, there were cries of “Shu Lin, look at me!” It was incredibly crazy.

Finally, after getting into the car, Shu Lin let out a long breath, feeling completely drained.

So scary.

From then on, in order not to affect the normal teaching order of the school, the school consulted with the Shao family, and decided that Shu Lin did not have to go to school unless absolutely necessary.

For all his future classes, the school would provide him with a live broadcast just for him to watch at home.

Fortunately, there weren’t many courses in the second semester of his junior year, so the impact wasn’t significant.

And so it was decided.

Gu Xiao even joked with him about it:

“The school doesn’t want to stage ‘Train to Busan’ every day, and the old bones of the professors can’t take your antics.”

“The professors also said that teaching others at most makes them angry, but teaching you is practically life-threatening.”

Shu Lin: “…”

He wordlessly rubbed his forehead.

The incident of him attending class that day even became a trending topic.

In less than two hours, the Shao family immediately arranged to lower the heat.

Since then, the Shao family has acted more and more discreetly.

No more news about Shu Lin’s recent situation was revealed to the media, protecting him tightly.

This made him, the US-Class Omega who had just entered the public eye and the partner of the youngest Minister of Defense, seem even more mysterious.

To further understand him, people began searching the internet for traces of his past.

Under this impetus, the radio dramas he had dubbed before also became very popular.

Whether they were supporting roles or leading roles.

Shu Lin had long bought the copyrights to these radio dramas, and he had made a lot of money from them.

As April approached, Shao Chengxi’s twenty-ninth birthday was coming up.

In this troubled time, the Shao family didn’t plan to make a big deal of it, only planning to hold a family banquet to celebrate his birthday.

That afternoon, the spring breeze was gentle, and hundreds of flowers bloomed.

Shu Lin was sitting on a swing, looking at a script, when a familiar voice came from behind.

“Baby, what are you looking at? So engrossed.”

Shu Lin turned his head when he heard the voice and saw Shao Chengxi standing beside him, holding two cups of hot cocoa.

Shao Chengxi actually came back so early today.

He had taken off his military uniform and changed into casual clothes, looking very relaxed.

Shu Lin took the cup, took a small sip, the sweetness melted on his tongue, and smiled:

“I’m looking at the script. My radio drama is about to start recording, so I’m preparing.”

Since the class incident, he had not left the South Mountain villa for more than twenty days.

To ensure that Shu Lin could work normally, the Shao family specially converted the detached villa next to the botanical garden into his personal studio.

Wu Jie brought his staff here to record the radio drama.

Having something to do, Shu Lin didn’t feel bored even if he didn’t leave the house.

Shao Chengxi glanced at the script in his hand, sat down beside him, and naturally pulled him into his arms.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as sweet as the blooming apricot blossoms beside them.

The spring breeze blew gently, and apricot blossoms fluttered.

Shu Lin leaned in Shao Chengxi’s arms, unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup with his fingertips, listening to the Alpha’s deep voice ringing in his ear.

“Things have basically settled down.” Shao Chengxi gently combed Shu Lin’s hair with his fingers, “The pheromone imbalance incident can only be compromised. Too many people are involved. In the end, a scapegoat arranged by Hong Zhengyue took the blame.”

Shu Lin raised his head slightly: “Who is the scapegoat?”

Shao Chengxi sneered: “Those few members of the Pei family who managed to escape unscathed last time.”

Shu Lin was surprised.

Hong Zhengyue was really speechless.

He had just cleaned up the Pei family a few days ago, and now he was using them again.

These people in the Pei family really never learn.

Now that’s good, the Pei family will never be able to make a comeback.

“The residual sonic pheromones in Hong Zhengyue’s hands have been completely destroyed in front of the Ministry of Defense, and can no longer harm people.”

Shu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but ask, “Those in the Military Police…”

“The captain of the Xian Yue team was dismissed from his post for investigation, and all the Alpha military police involved in the pheromone attack were arrested and subjected to military court trials according to the law.”

Shao Chengxi’s voice cooled down a bit, “Hong Zhengyue will publicly apologize for the sonic pheromone incident fifteen years ago, but…”

“The wording is obscure and vague?” Shu Lin took over, with a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shao Chengxi lowered his head and kissed his forehead, “Baby is so smart.”

A gust of wind blew, blowing down a shower of apricot blossoms.

Shu Lin reached out and caught a petal, asking with some disappointment:

“Is it just going to end like this?”

Wouldn’t that be letting Hong Zhengyue off too easily?

Not to mention how many people were harmed by the pheromone scandal back then, this time he wanted to kill those twenty or so patients.

Are we just going to let Hong Zhengyue get away with it?

Shao Chengxi sighed softly, hugging Shu Lin even tighter, his tone full of helplessness:

“Baby, things in politics are very complicated. I can’t move Hong Zhengyue at the moment, so I can only compromise for now.”

“However, through this game, the Ministry of Defense’s budget will increase by 5%, which will be more effective in containing him in the future.”

“At the same time, the captain of the Military Police will be held by the director of the Third Division of the Ministry of Defense to supervise him.”

“Also, my sister will be promoted to Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Procuratorate in three months.”

Speaking of this, Shao Chengxi paused, “In the short term, Hong Zhengyue will not dare to act rashly again.”

Hearing this, Shu Lin wasn’t too happy. Instead, a faint worry appeared in his eyes, and he asked:

“What about those pheromone deficiency patients? Doesn’t anyone care about their lives?”

“They have been tortured by illness for fifteen years. Doesn’t anyone seek justice for them?”

At the end, his voice even carried a hint of choking.
