Chapter 28 Are You Dating James (2/2)

”Professor Gu, why have you arrived so early today?” Normally, Professor Gu would arrive just two minutes before the class started.

But today, there were still more than ten minutes left before the class star

ted.

”Don't just stand there. Have a seat. I have something important to tell you in advance.” Professor Gu smiled amicably and sat down next to her.

”Okay. Professor, what do you have to say to me?” Nina also sat down, turned her full attention on Professor Gu, and looked at him seriously.

He must have something vital to say about that case she was working on.

”Are you still paying attention to the suicide incident that occurred a few days ago? I have read your email analysis, and I was surprised.” He expressed his approval on Nina's analysis of the crime. After comparing the two suicide cases, there were indeed a lot of obscure similarities that could not be taken for granted.

Seeing how meticulous her analysis was, he felt a proud sense of accomplishment. It was as if his disciple had finally grown up and was ready to spread her wings.

”Although the police station has already closed the case, I hope you can still continue to investigate. You must not let the real criminal get away with it.”

”Yes, I will. Thank you, Professor Gu.” His words made Nina more determined to continue with the investigation.

Professor Gu took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Nina. He pointed at the name on the card and briefly introduced him. ”Noah Ye is the leader of the criminal investigation team in the city. If you find enough evidence to support your theory, you can get in touch with him. Or you can tell him about your analysis now and let him investigate the suicide case again.”

After saying that, Professor Gu raised his hand and tenderly patted Nina on the shoulder. Without any words, his actions indicated that he thought highly of her and was looking forward to her solving the case.

”I got it, Professor Gu,” Nina assured him and put away the name card. After a short while, her classmates entered the classroom one after another. Professor Gu stood up and walked towards the platform.

Some students were talking and laughing with each other. From time to time, some of them seemed to mention Nina's name with malice. But as soon as they saw Professor Gu standing on the platform, they shut up.

Strangely, there was not a single classmate who sat around Nina, and it seemed as if she was being avoided by everyone. During this period, someone even looked at Nina with disgust, while one looked at her with fear.

Nina didn't pay any serious attention to it. After Professor Gu left the classroom, the classmates began to gossip.

”How could Nina be fine after what she has done? Is her heart black and made of stone?”

”I think so. Otherwise, how could she treat her good friend like that? Isabella is so pitiful for having a friend like her.”

”Isabella was very unfortunate to have made friends with Nina. She has been slapped, and now her family is in dire trouble.”

”It's terrifying to think about it. I used to think Isabella was annoying, but now I think she is really pitiful. I didn't expect that she would be hurt and stabbed in the back by her good friend.”

Slowing down her steps, Nina carefully listened to the whispers around her. She was perplexed and had no idea where the rumors had stemmed from.

In the end, Michelle helped her fill in the missing info.

Michelle was deeply worried about her and warned her, ”Nini, even if you want to slap Isabella that badly, can you please find a place where no one could see you next time? Well, someone saw you slapping her, and now they are talking badly about you.”

It suddenly dawned on Nina that she had been seen by her classmates when she slapped Isabella in the campus.

But that was not the point. Why did someone mention that Isabella's family was now in big trouble? What was going on?

”Do you have any idea what happened to Isabella's family?” Nina looked at Michelle in confusion, her brows creased with a frown.

Michelle was shocked and asked in disbelief, ”What? Are you for real? You are saying you really don't know? Didn't you let that scumbag... No, he is not a scumbag.”

By then, Michelle had already made peace with James. He had already broken off the virtual relationship he had with her in the game. What was more, he also found her a teammate who was a legend to take her to the prize of the quest.

”I mean, James. Didn't you ask him to punish the Zhang family for you?” All the while, Michelle thought that Nina was behind all these. After all, she was aware of Nina's vindictive nature after having spent some time with her and she knew that Nina would take her revenge sooner or later.

Fortunately, she was on Nina's side.

However, when she thought about how James was willing to offend and crush the whole Zhang family for Nina, Michelle couldn't help but wonder with awe.

”Nini, are you dating James? But he is your junior schoolmate.”

Nina was rendered speechless.

She wasn't interested in any man who was younger than her.
