    Chapter 112: Unable to Escape

    Chapter 112 Unable to Escape

    At exactly eight o’clock in the morning, Zhou Zhou entered the classroom just as the bell rang for class. He scanned the room, but Gao Ziyuan and Li Yu were nowhere to be seen.

    He casually found an empty seat and sat down, no longer trying to sit next to Fu Jingxuan.

    After last night’s incident at the bar, he suspected that Fu Jingxuan was involved. The jealousy of a villainous female supporting character should not be underestimated.

    He turned to look at Fu Jingxuan, who was still sleeping soundly on her desk. Her deceptively innocent appearance could easily mislead people into thinking she was a harmless little white rabbit.

    “Ahem… Everyone, stop what you’re doing and look up at me.” Professor Yan patted the desk, his expression serious and earnest. He continued, “A malicious incident occurred last night. A certain student, driven by selfish desires, caused serious harm to other students. Based on the decision of the school leaders in Jing City and the competition organizers, this student’s qualification to participate in the competition has been revoked.”

    “You all know which student I’m talking about. I hope that in the coming days, you will all behave yourselves and not let a moment’s mistake affect your academic careers. After all, it’s not easy to erase a stain on your record.”

    “Alright, this class will still be about practice questions. This afternoon, I’ll give you some competition test questions to work on…”

    Zhou Zhou propped up his competition textbook, rested his chin on one hand, and stared down at his phone screen, occasionally touching the screen with his finger.

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Hanghang, has your technique improved at all?]

    [Chen Qihang: Don’t, don’t mention that. ]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Tsk, I was hoping you could help me out. It seems that road is blocked.]

    [Chen Qihang: Although Black Spider has a perverse sense of humor, it’s undeniable that his skills are far above mine. Trying to rely on me to create trouble for Tianchuang Technology is indeed a dead end.]

    Zhou Zhou raised his hand to rub between his eyebrows. His mind was becoming a jumbled mess. Right, Tianchuang Technology had a mole, and according to the novel, the mole’s direct superior was the second male lead!

    The information that Zhou Zhou had forgotten gradually resurfaced.

    Hengxu Group and Tianchuang Technology had always been at odds in business. Qin Yan and Black Spider were cousins, and their relationship was terrible. No wonder Black Spider would rather run to Tianchuang Technology than join Hengxu Group.

    The male lead and the second male lead completely falling out was naturally because of the female lead. Now that the plot was completely derailed, it seemed that this mole would very likely not appear anymore.

    Tch, thinking so much, but without a single useful idea. Was he destined to be suppressed by Pei Yanlie for the rest of his life?!

    At that moment, Su Wanxing sent a message.

    [Starry: I’ve been dreaming about some scenes lately that seem to foreshadow something. It feels very real.]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: What scenes?]

    Zhou Zhou frowned slightly, and a sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

    [Starry: A man with an unrecognizable face imprisoned me in a basement. Subconsciously, I believe that this man with the unrecognizable face is my true love.]

    [Starry: He said that he had never loved me, not even a little bit.]

    [Starry: After being imprisoned for several years, I broke down and went completely insane.]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Little Starry, it’s a dream, it’s a dream, a dream…]

    [Starry: I know it’s a dream, but do you know why he imprisoned me? He said I hurt his lover, 555~]

    Zhou Zhou held his forehead in pain. Such a melodramatic plot could only happen in a dream.

    [Starry: Ever since I suspected that my true love has a mistress, I’ve been having recurring nightmares these past few days. I feel panicked, can’t sleep well, and I didn’t expect him to have such a cruel side. It’s so scary!]

    Zhou Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. He wondered if the innocent white lotus female lead was going to turn dark.

    If she found out that he was the homewrecker, would she scratch him to a bloody mess with her little claws?

    He swallowed and tentatively sent a message.

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: If your true love were to fall in love with someone else, what would you do?]

    Su Wanxing quickly replied with a long message, indicating that she was truly frightened by the nightmare.

    [Starry: I can’t do anything like tearing up a mistress. I don’t want to be imprisoned by him. I’m being abused even in my dreams. How could a weak woman like me have the courage to touch his people?]

    [Starry: Although my feelings for him were quite strong before, after being disturbed by the nightmare, I’ve thought it through. It’s not like he’s the only man in the world. I can only say that forced melons are not sweet.]

    [Starry: After much deliberation these past few days, let’s pass on the club plan in early October. The success rate of drugging him isn’t high. Emm… It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that none of the previous plans have been successful. He’s such a cautious and aloof person. If he finds out the truth, we’re both done for.]

    [Starry: In a few days, we’ll go to Tianchuang Technology for a tour. Let’s just wait and see what happens. Let’s leave everything to fate.]

    Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Little Starry was kind-hearted, so it was impossible for her to turn dark.

    Throughout the day, he was muddle-headed, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, sometimes rotating his pen unconsciously, sometimes resting his chin on his hand, his eyes dull and lifeless.

    Back then, if he hadn’t been so fixated on this long-cherished wish, would he not have ended up in this situation?

    Time flew by, and it was already four o’clock in the afternoon. Zhou Zhou was lying on his desk, resting with his eyes closed, when the desk was suddenly knocked heavily a few times. He opened his eyes and was met with a view of a fair and slender waist and a small belly button.

    He looked up and saw Fu Jingxuan, looking arrogant.

    Fu Jingxuan changed her previous sweet image, her chin held high, looking down at him with her nostrils, her voice cold and sharp: “The second son of Zhou Hongwei from Yucheng?”

    Zhou Zhou yawned, sat up straight, and loosened the muscles in his neck and shoulders. “Hmm? What do you want to say?”

    Fu Jingxuan lowered her eyes to play with her slender fingers, and curled her lips into a cold smile: “My Fu family only needs to lift a finger to bankrupt Zhou Hongwei’s company.”

    “Oh, a threat?” Zhou Zhou raised an eyebrow, a sarcastic smile appearing on his lips.

    “Yes, a threat. I want you to voluntarily leave Pei Yanlie. Or, I can help you leave him.” Fu Jingxuan propped her hands on the desk, her voice low and filled with a sinister meaning.

    Zhou Zhou became interested. “How can you help me?”

    Fu Jingxuan blinked her light brown eyes, her soft pink lips parting slightly, and she spat out vicious words: “As long as you’re torn to pieces and buried in the deep mountains, he won’t be able to find you for the rest of his life.”

    Zhou Zhou felt a chill down his spine, and goosebumps rose on his arms. As expected of a villainous female supporting character, her threatening words were unique.

    “Your kind of help is unnecessary.” Zhou Zhou stood up, picked up his backpack, and was about to walk out.

    “Are you sure you want to go against me?” The ghostly female voice stopped Zhou Zhou’s footsteps. He turned to look at Fu Jingxuan and said lightly, “It’s not me going against you, it’s Pei Yanlie. You should be dealing with him, not me.”

    Fu Jingxuan looked at him thoughtfully, and said coldly: “What if I said, I’ll help you leave, settle abroad, and never come back? What do you think?”

    Zhou Zhou turned back, strode to the classroom door, and left a sentence: “It doesn’t matter. Don’t underestimate Pei Yanlie’s ability. For him to crush you is like an elephant crushing an ant.”

    He wasn’t so stupid as to touch Pei Yanlie’s bottom line at this critical moment. He didn’t want to live a life of imprisonment.

    After thinking for a whole day, he couldn’t think of anyone else who could help him escape successfully.

    Even if he managed to escape, just like Big Brother Zhou said, he wouldn’t be able to hide for long. Pei Yanlie, that bastard, had too many threatening methods.

    He walked out of the school gate with his head lowered, looking troubled, until Pei Yanlie’s black leather shoes appeared in front of him. He curled his lips, didn’t look up, and walked past him.

    Unsurprisingly, his hand was grabbed by Pei Yanlie, held tightly, as if no matter how much he struggled, he would never be able to escape from his grasp.

    Pei Yanlie carefully observed Zhou Zhou’s profile, and said in a low voice: “I’m taking you to a banquet tonight. Let’s go to the mall to buy a suit first.”

    Zhou Zhou gave a muffled “oh” and was pulled into the back seat of the car.

    Zhou Zhou looked at the face so close to him, raised his butt to leave, but his waist was tightly held. He couldn’t help but complain: “There are so many seats next to me, why do you have to make me sit on your lap!”

    Pei Yanlie reached out and gently stroked his cheek, even pinching it, and said domineeringly: “I like it.”

    [Heh, what a “I like it.” You are the most domineering man of the year!]
