Chapter 96 (She’s Dead?) Pulling off His Return to University and Burial of Trouble

After packing his luggage and ordering bus tickets, Lin Wenxi was off.

“Remember not to come home often. Better yet, don’t come home at all!” Lin Ziwei said solemnly.

“Hm.” Lin Wenxi nodded but thought that it wasn’t a bad idea to visit Zhao Yuan’s home for Chinese New Year instead of his own.

“I’m saying that you should avoid Yangzi County as much as possible!” Lin Ziwei emphasized. It was as if he could see through his son’s thoughts.

Lin Wenxi nodded silently.

When his bus was about to leave Yangzi County, he sent one final text message to Zhao Yuan: “I’m thankful to you.”

The reply: “I hope it’s not too late.”

While he was still reading the text message, another person was receiving a phone call. Hong Xuan’s face darkened after the call and his grip tightened on his Nokia phone, causing the keys on the device to pop out of their sockets nearly. Confused, Lin Wenxi stared solemnly at the typically calm and robust Hong Xuan. He became even more perplexed when Hong Xuan made him get off at the next stop and grab his luggage. Then, Hong Xuan went to buy tickets at the counter without another word.

“Return tickets?” Lin Wenxi noticed that the bus terminal written on the ticket was Yangzi County.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“Some issues cropped up with the other exchange student. I suspect other arrangements will have to be made,” Hong Xuan said solemnly.

They left home in the morning and returned by noon. However, Lin Wenxi didn’t feel relaxed in the slightest. He suddenly recalled Zhao Yuan’s text message: “I hope it’s not too late.” Could Zhao Yuan alone really pull this off? It seemed unlikely. He would rather believe this to be a coincidence. However, whatever it was, he ought to be able to return to Jifu University. He thought he should inform Zhao Yuan about this and happily ran off to make a call.

“What? She’s dead? How did a perfectly fine person die?” Lin Ziwei was furious. “Is this piece of news accurate?”

“Yes. I got the news from my men over there. Everything’s settled at the university but the young lady suddenly passed away, apparently of a heart attack. My men have confirmed that she indeed had heart disease,” Hong Xuan said with certainty.

“F*ck! How could there be such a coincidence?!” Lin Xiwei flung the teacup in his hand to the floor with force. Hong Xuan’s heart jumped when he heard his old leader cursing.

“Are your men reliable? I hope they didn’t reveal any information,” Lin Ziwei asked.

“They’re my brothers. They’re absolutely reliable when it comes to things like this!” Hong Xuan assured Lin Ziwei with a pat on his chest.

“Investigate it. Have them investigate the student’s death with the local police and see if it’s nature at work or humans pulling the strings!” Lin Ziwei said.

“Yes.”

“Another thing. Besides us, is Wenxi’s classmate Zhao Yuan the only one who knows that he’s about to leave?” Lin Wenxi asked. “And does Zhao Yuan know his identity?”
