Chapter 150: Chapter 150: It’s Not Your Fault
Qiao Yun paused and, with a heavy tone, asked, “Where?”
“At City Hospital, are you going over?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Pei Yao frowned and decided, “I’ll go first.”
“I’ll go,” Qiao Yun insisted firmly. “This started because of me, so I should be the one to go.”
She stared at her own toes, her facial expression unclear.
Pei Yao fell silent for a while and then spoke seriously, rarely so, “This isn’t your fault. Although she might have been used, it’s undeniable that she indeed did something to hurt you.”
Qiao Yun didn’t respond to him but simply said, “You don’t need to come.”
Given Professor Qiao’s decisiveness, Pei Yao had no choice but to agree.
Although he did not want Qiao Yun to bother with such matters, he had witnessed how she dealt with trouble.
Her tactics were unconventional and sometimes deviated from normal human behavior.
He still remembered how, around the age of ten, Qiao Yun dealt with a traitor who had stolen research data.
She calmly proposed that they could cut open the traitor’s head, implant a chip in his brain, and then send him back to his mastermind to control his thoughts using the chip and work for them.
At the time, everyone assumed Qiao Yun was joking, as the method seemed too far-fetched.
It wasn’t until that evening, when he saw Qiao Yun sitting in front of a computer, her face tense like a small steamed bun, her small hands typing fervently.
She seriously documented how to safely crack open a skull and the success rates of developing a brain control chip.
It was then he realized, was Qiao Yun actually serious???
Was this really a behavior a ten-year-old girl should have?
Could it be a sign not of an antisocial personality?
So he did not want Qiao Yun to handle troubles by herself, not because he feared she couldn’t resolve them, but because he was afraid of her methods of resolution.
After hanging up Pei Yao’s call, Qiao Yun looked towards Li Hanzhou and asked, “Do you have time?”
Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow: “Hmm?”
“Can you take me somewhere?” Qiao Yun asked him directly, her voice soft. “Never mind if you’re not free.”
Li Hanzhou’s lips slightly lifted, “Let’s go.”
Qiao Yun pursed her lips, gratefully glancing at him.
It wasn’t until they were in the car that Li Hanzhou finally asked her, “Where are you going?”
“City Hospital.”
Li Hanzhou turned to look at Qiao Yun, scrutinizing her as he saw she was relatively composed, then asked reassuringly, “What are you doing at the hospital?”
“A classmate is in the hospital; I’m going to see her.”
Li Hanzhou pondered for a moment and then, frowning, asked, “Does the defamation matter have something to do with your classmate?”
“…”
Qiao Yun’s small head silently moved towards the car window.
Li Hanzhou laughed softly, “Little one, remaining silent is not a good way to avoid issues.”
Qiao Yun quietly retorted, “I’m not avoiding it, I want to resolve it myself.”
It actually had nothing to do with Li Hanzhou, yet she had even dragged him into it.
Sigh, she owed him a favor.
Li Hanzhou asked playfully, “Can you handle it?”
Qiao Yun nodded.
Li Hanzhou licked his teeth playfully, “Good, leave brother’s honor to you.”
Qiao Yun: “…”
Li Hanzhou promptly cut it off, not teasing her further.
After all, teasing too much is no fun.
After a while, Qiao Yun received two videos sent over by Pei Yao.
The first video was at an alley entrance.
She saw Xia Ling carrying a backpack, entering the alley.
At the same time, several thugs also followed her in.
Since there was no surveillance in the alley, Qiao Yun did not see what happened in the middle.
She opened another video.
About half an hour later, the thugs came out of the alley.
Another half an hour passed before Xia Ling came out.
Only, her appearance was not as clean as when she went in.
When she exited, her school uniform was disheveled, her hair was messy, and she limped as she walked, wiping away tears while heading out.
The video ended there.
