Li Xuekai was so angry that his entire body trembled. “You can even consider things that Elder Feng hasn’t decided on for him? Li Xuelei, I advise you to scram. Otherwise, I’ll make a request to the Li family and chase you out!”
Li Xuelei sneered. “Make a request? Without Xue Xi, who do you think you are? Let me tell you, Elder Feng doesn’t want her anymore. Why are you still protecting her? Are you planning to be chased out of Huaxia University with her?”
Feng Xingshen was still in poor health and looked dispirited. If Zhou Hong was not supporting him, Feng Xingshen would have fallen to the ground.
He trembled as he walked over. Zhou Hong was holding the award certificate.
Just as the two of them reached the entrance of the laboratory, they heard Li Xuelei’s words. Feng Xingshen instantly rebuked, “Who dares to chase Sister Xi out of Huaxia University?!”
Li Xuelei was stunned and turned around.
Feng Xingshen was already furious. He raised his walking stick and hit him. “What do you know to spout nonsense here? How can you spout nonsense about Sister Xi’s significance to Huaxia University?!”
After hitting him, he still was not done venting his anger. He said to Zhou Hong, “Which department is he from? Go look for its dean directly. Such a student must be brought in to do some good ideological work! How can a student from Huaxia University be someone who idles around and gossips all day?!”
Recently, his teacher’s temper had been exceptionally bad. Zhou Hong had always understood it very well. When he heard this, he hurriedly said, “Alright, Teacher. Don’t worry.”
Feng Xingshen then looked at Li Xuelei and shouted angrily, “Aren’t you going to scram? Why are you embarrassing yourself here?!”
Li Xuelei was chased away dejectedly.
The people in the laboratory who were holding their breaths for Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
They had originally thought that Sister Xi was really being despised by Elder Feng and that was why he was so cold. They did not expect Elder Feng to actually come over!
The moment Li Zixia and Xie Yingying saw Elder Feng, they were so touched that they were about to cry.
The two hurriedly rushed into Xue Xi’s office. “Sister Xi, Elder Feng is here!”
Xue Xi, who was flipping through her book, paused and slowly lifted her head.
She looked at the door and saw the old man walking in.
Xue Xi stood up and welcomed him. “Teacher.”
Feng Xingshen nodded, but he did not dare to look at her with his turbid eyes. He avoided her gaze, and the two of them stood opposite each other for a long time before Feng Xingshen extended his hand to her. “Sister Xi, let’s have a private chat.”
Xue Xi nodded and helped Feng Xingshen into the office.
Feng Xingshen sat on the sofa while Xue Xi brewed tea for him and asked, “Teacher, are you happy about today’s commendation ceremony?”
Feng Xingshen did not reply. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the teacup on the coffee table.
Seeing that he did not want to speak, Xue Xi was not anxious nor did she urge him. She just quietly waited for him to speak.
After a long while, Feng Xingshen finally exhaled. “Sister Xi, you actually guessed it, right?”
Xue Xi clenched her jaw and did not speak.
Feng Xingshen looked up and was about to say something when Xue Xi’s office door was suddenly pushed open. Zheng Zhi rushed in. He had been coming here almost every day for the past few days.
He said very rudely and arrogantly, “Xue Xi, I advise you to cooperate with us to capture Ji Silin!
“Don’t be so stubborn. I heard that your teacher has already distanced himself from you because of this matter. You really don’t have to suffer so much for that Ji Silin!
“If you don’t cooperate, let alone these students, even we will suspect that you’re Ji Silin’s accomplice!”
Zheng Zhi was really annoyed.
Ji Silin was a mysterious person. Very few people knew about his past. Those who knew him knew that he was a psychiatrist, but no one could tell where he came from and where he would go.
Only Xue Xi might know some things.
After all, the two of them had known each other for so long. Even if they could only find Ji Silin’s family, that would be better than having no clue at all!
However, Xue Xi did not cooperate at all. No matter what he asked her, she would say that she did not know.
How could she not know?!
As expected, Xue Xi’s reply was still, “…I really don’t know.”
Zheng Zhi was furious. Just as he was about to flare up, he heard an old voice say, “Let me do it.”
Zheng Zhi turned around and saw Feng Xingshen standing up. “Sister Xi, bring me to the special department. I have something to say.”
Xue Xi’s expression froze. She wanted to say something, but Feng Xingshen’s attitude was firm and she eventually nodded.
The two of them left the laboratory. Zhou Hong subconsciously went forward to support Feng Xingshen, but he was pushed away by Feng Xingshen. “Let Sister Xi accompany me to the police station. You don’t have to go.”
His words stunned everyone.
Seeing that Elder Feng had brought Xue Xi out, those who did not know the truth immediately started guessing.
“Why are they going to the police station?”
“Elder Feng is personally accompanying Sister Xi… Could it be…”
Li Xuelei had returned and was still constantly finding opportunities to mock them. “Did you see that? Ha, it must be that Xue Xi is also involved in the case involving her classmates and Elder Feng. Elder Feng is going to bring her in to surrender herself! Just wait and see!”
Li Xuekai, Li Zixia, and Xie Yingying looked worried when they heard this.
Is that… true?
Li Zixia panicked. “What should we do now? Did something really happen to Sister Xi?”
