Chapter 762: Is it Zhou Hua?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wu Qiuyun gave Cao Xiaorui a few simple instructions before bringing Ji Yuanyuan to Blue Bay Coffee.
Wu Qiuyun didn’t choose her usual seat. Instead, she chose a seat by the window.
From this position, she could clearly see the door.
This also meant that everyone who came up was in her line of sight.
Ji Yuanyuan ordered three cups of coffee, and the two of them began to wait for a long time.
The agreed half an hour was up, but there was no response from the door.
Hu Wei did not come.
Wu Qiuyun’s expression was obviously a little disappointed. She turned on her phone and searched for her address book and text messages.
She tried to find some traces, but to her disappointment, there was no trace at all.
She opened the call log and saw a string of numbers at the top.
Her fingers moved over the string of numbers, but in the end, Wu Qiuyun’s fingers did not press down.
She took a deep breath, put her phone away, and put it in her pocket.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Wu Qiuyun was no longer restless. She was completely disappointed.
She stood up and reminded Ji Yuanyuan in a low voice, “He probably won’t come. Let’s go.”
Ji Yuanyuan held Wu Qiuyun’s hand. She was a little unwilling, “Wait another ten minutes. We’ll leave after ten minutes.”
Perhaps Hu Wei was just caught up in something, or maybe Hu Wei didn’t decide not to come. He was just struggling with himself.
What if Hu Wei came right after they left?
Ji Yuanyuan was too unwilling.
Moreover, she knew that Wu Qiuyun was definitely unwilling to accept this.
Therefore, they had to wait a little longer.
Wu Qiuyun listened to Ji Yuanyuan and sat down.
The following time seemed to be especially difficult to endure.
Ji Yuanyuan glanced at her watch from time to time.
It was as if the watch would become faster with every glance.
The hands of the watch jumped up and down, turning round and round.
Ji Yuanyuan’s heart sank a little with every turn of the needle.
Finally, ten minutes passed.
This time, Wu Qiuyun and Ji Yuanyuan did not speak.
The two of them stood up in silence, intending to leave.
However, just as the two of them stood up, a boy suddenly came up from the stairs.
He wore a black, white, gray checkered shirt and jeans.
He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Ji Yuanyuan and Wu Qiuyun.
After all, only the two were on the entire second floor.
“Is it you who call me?” The boy asked in a low voice.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up immediately. She looked at the boy excitedly and asked, “You’re Hu Wei?”
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were probably a little too eager. Hu Wei’s eyes were a little evasive, and he was at a loss, “I… I am.”
After all, Ji Yuanyuan was too beautiful.
Wei Hu had always been unremarkable and rarely had the chance to talk to such a beautiful girl.
“What’s the matter?” He tugged at the corner of his shirt awkwardly. “Why are you looking for me?”
Wu Qiuyun stretched out her hand, “Sit down first. Let’s sit down and talk.”
When he saw Wu Qiuyun, Hu Wei’s eyes slowly widened.
A moment later, he asked in surprise, “You are…” Teacher Wu?”
They were both from medical school. Although Wu Qiuyun was not his teacher, they had met before.
Hu Wei knew Wu Qiuyun.
Moreover, Duan Wenguang had also mentioned Teacher Wu to him before.
She and Zhou Hua didn’t seem to get along well.
Wu Qiuyun nodded, “Yes, I’m Wu Qiuyun. Let’s sit down and talk.”
After knowing Wu Qiuyun’s identity, Hu Wei looked even more uneasy. He sat down opposite her.
Wu Qiuyun and Ji Yuanyuan quickly sat down.
“I didn’t know what you liked, so I just ordered something random. If you’re not used to it, I’ll get you another cup.” Ji Yuanyuan pointed at the coffee in front of Hu Wei and said politely.
Wei Hu quickly picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, “No need, no need. I like it.”
“As long as you like it, Senior.” Ji Yuanyuan smiled at him.
Hu Wei put down his coffee cup and looked up at Ji Yuanyuan.
Immediately after, he thought of something, and his expression became solemn again. “What’s your relationship with Duan Wenguang?”
He found it strange, and some bad guesses arose in his heart for no reason.
Teacher Wu had a feud with Zhou Hua. But she and Duan Wenguang did not seem to have any intersection.
Now that she was inquiring about Duan Wenguang’s matter, could it be that she wanted to use this matter to strike a blow at Zhou Hua?
He didn’t want to become a sacrifice in this war.
Thinking of this, Hu Wei’s body tensed up.
He was thinking about how he should speak to get out of there as soon as possible.
However, Wu Qiuyun’s following words overturned all of Hu Wei’s guesses.
“We don’t have any relationship with Duan Wenguang. Before this matter, I don’t even know his name. My impression of him isn’t good either.” Wu Qiuyun began.
After Wu Qiuyun finished speaking, Ji Yuanyuan immediately continued, “I’m not familiar with Senior Brother Duan. We’ve only met a few times.”
“I know what you’re worried about, but things are definitely not what you think. Five years ago, another student committed suicide. Did you know?” Wu Qiuyun explained.
Hu Wei pursed his lips. For a moment, he did not know if he should believe Wu Qiuyun.
She looked up and saw Wu Qiuyun and Ji Yuanyuan’s clear, determined eyes.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ve heard of it back then. Everyone was talking about it. It was quite scary.”
“Then did you know that the student who committed suicide was also a graduate student under Zhou Hua?” Wu Qiuyun asked again.
“What?” Wei Hu’s eyes widened.
Obviously, he didn’t know about this.
Wu Qiuyun sighed, “The school hid that matter very well. Just like Duan Wenguang now. Ordinary students don’t know what happened at all. Maybe some students don’t even know someone died in school.”
Wu Qiuyun’s words moved Hu Wei slightly.
He placed his hands on his thighs and subconsciously clenched his jeans.
“That student back then was called Cheng Lin. Like Duan Wenguang, he was also from the countryside. We all know that it’s hard for poor families to have a son. It’s hard for rural families to provide a student from B University. Back then, he was already in his third year of postgraduate studies and was about to graduate in half a year, but he jumped into the lake. In the winter, he jumped into the cold lake. You can imagine how desperate he was back then.”
Hu Wei’s hand trembled. He pursed his lips, and his voice trembled. “Why? Why did he jump into the lake?”
“Because someone stole his thesis, and that person even slandered him for plagiarism. Not only that, but that person also makes things difficult for Cheng Lin.”
“Is it Zhou Hua?”
