Chapter 587 - Player (1/2)

Xu Zhi, who was the president of the student council at Qinghe University, had returned from the black market after unsuccessfully waiting for Zhou Yingxue there.

Now that a major event was being held in school, he would have to show up. Furthermore, he was the moderator of this debate session.

“Oh, I remember now.” Zhou Yingxue said, “We saved him once. He paid the reward money and transferred it into my account promptly.”

This time, she mentioned it very softly. But as it was very crowded, everyone was standing in close proximity to each other. In the end, a few people still overheard her.

Someone looked at Zhou Yingxue and wondered what nonsense she was babbling about.

“Let’s go,” Ren Xiaosu said. He was afraid Zhou Yingxue would continue speaking carelessly in public.

Moreover, Ren Xiaosu had become uninterested in Qinghe University. He wondered why Li Shentan had said that to him. Could it be that he wanted him to come and listen to the debate so he would go and persuade the Qing Consortium to give up their nuclear weapons?

Since when had Li Shentan, the demon from the Southwest, become so compassionate?

That couldn’t be possible, right?

Just as they turned around to walk away from the crowd, Xu Zhi suddenly saw Zhou Yingxue’s back from the stage. Her back was way too familiar to him!

While the debate was still ongoing, Xu Zhi suddenly jumped off the stage, leaving the debaters dumbfounded.

Xu Zhi tried hard to break up the crowd in his attempt to find Zhou Yingxue, but she had already disappeared.

Someone asked, “What are you looking for?”

Xu Zhi asked anxiously, “Did you guys see a woman and a hooded young man around just now?”

Everyone looked at one another as though they had some inkling of the described people. “Two people were standing here just now, but it felt like they were looking down on us. They only listened to the debate for a bit before leaving. Why are you looking for them?”

Xu Zhi did not have time to explain further. “They saved me once.” After that, Xu Zhi rushed off in search of them.

The commotion gradually turned into an uproar. It was known throughout Qinghe University that Xu Zhi had been kidnapped and that a mysterious young man with a maidservant had saved him. This news even caused quite a commotion and attracted the interest of many people.

Those two actually appeared here on the Qinghe University campus? Someone muttered, “Could Xu Zhi have mistaken someone else for them?”

“No.” A girl who was standing next to Zhou Yingxue earlier said, “That woman also said it herself just now that they saved Xu Zhi!”

Eventually, no one paid attention to the debate anymore. As for whether humans should possess nuclear capabilities or not, that was no longer important. A lot of people had gone after Xu Zhi as they wanted to see what those two legendary figures were like.

Xu Zhi ran all the way out of the school, but he still could not find Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue.

Xu Zhi could only stand there on the road with a blank and depressed look on his face.

In a classroom somewhere else on campus, Yang Xiaojin was sitting at a desk next to the window. A girl in front of her suddenly turned around and asked, “Xiaojin, I heard there’s a debate going on at Zhengde Square. The topic is about whether humans should use nuclear weapons or not. Should we go and have a listen together after class?”

Yang Xiaojin was taken aback for a bit. Although this girl was her classmate, Yang Xiaojin had always been a loner and did not know her well. Why did she suddenly invite her to attend a debate?

Yang Xiaojin only took a second before tactfully turning her down. “Don’t have the time.”

The girl in front of her said, “True, I guess the topic of nuclear weapons isn’t really relatable to us. There isn’t really a point in going to listen to the debate.”

There weren’t really any changes in Yang Xiaojin’s expression. The topic of nuclear weapons truly had almost nothing to do with the average Qinghe University student, but it was not so for her. As a matter of fact, she had participated in two strikes to destroy the Li Consortium’s nuclear test sites, and both of them ended in success too.

Her life experience meant she and these university students did not have much in common.

After the girl was turned down by Yang Xiaojin, she turned back to face the front. At this moment, the bell for the end of class went off. When the girl heard the pealing signaling the end of class, she was startled. Another girl next to her whispered, “Why did you suddenly invite her to go watch the debate together? You should’ve known that you’d be rejected.”

That girl also whispered in confusion, “Yeah, why did I invite her?”

Li Shentan and Si Liren were sneakily crouching in the bushes under the lecture hall. Li Shentan was so anxious he said, “Why did the bell have to ring now of all times? The hypnosis has been interrupted!”

“Brother Shentan, your hypnosis is a little wonky this time,” Si Liren also lamented.

“This time, I only managed to exchange one glance with the subject.” Li Shentan sighed and said, “So this hypnotism method is still a little unstable.”

“We won’t get to see any drama then.” Si Liren looked at Li Shentan helplessly.

“It’s fine, there will definitely be a chance in the future….”

Li Shentan and Si Liren had come to Qinghe University early in the morning to set up a “chance” encounter with Yang Xiaojin’s classmate to hypnotize them. The two of them thought of using this method to get Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu to bump into each other, but it ended up failing.
