Chapter 79: Captain, You’re Alive? Suspected Murderer Lei Family
Liu Ruoxi stood on the plastic track of the stadium at this moment.
She was wearing a silver fringed evening gown, the hem gently falling, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, adorned with small crystal hair accessories.
Her skin was as fair as snow, complementing the silver gown, making her appear even more aloof and unapproachable.
A delicate diamond necklace was worn around her neck, the pendant sparkling under the lights, and on her wrist, a simple silver bracelet echoed the evening gown.
The surrounding students were all captivated by her stunning attire, whispering amongst themselves, their words showing restraint.
But the group chat had already exploded.
“Damn! My wife is so beautiful! I love her so much~”
“Get lost! She’s mine! We just confirmed our relationship yesterday.”
“All of you should wash up and go to sleep, stop dreaming. I’m picking her up to sleep at my place tonight.”
“Damn it! Why is there a party during summer break?”
“By the way, brothers, this outfit must be expensive, right? I just searched, and they all seem very pricey.”
“I heard that Goddess Liu Ruoxi’s family is super rich.”
“Really? You can’t tell at all usually.”
“That’s because she’s low-key! But recently, she’s been followed by bodyguards. When she leaves school, she gets into a luxury car in a secluded spot. I saw it before and thought I was mistaken, but I confirmed it carefully.”
“Damn! Beautiful and rich, it’s unfair! I should have pursued her for three years.”
“Bro, that’s groveling, not pursuing.”
Bai Yu had just finished taking photos for remembrance, then glanced at the group chat and put down his phone.
When he looked up, his eyes met Liu Ruoxi’s.
Liu Ruoxi’s gaze lingered for a moment, her red lips parted slightly, with a faint, indifferent smile, neither too warm nor too cold, maintaining a perfect distance.
Her gaze then shifted to other directions.
Wang Haobin noticed this and exclaimed, “Good heavens! Don’t tell me you’ve successfully captured the goddess without us knowing?”
If that were the case, he’d grind his teeth to dust! The kind that turns into dregs!
Mainly because Bai Yu is so mysterious now, it’s entirely possible.
Bai Yu came back to his senses and said, “You’re overthinking it. We’ve just met a few times recently due to some matters, and our relationship is neither warm nor cold.”
He knew in his heart that Liu Ruoxi’s reaction was mainly because he was a member of the Seventh Group, and had a connection with Liu Feifei and Qin Wanqing.
Before he could look any longer, a voice suddenly came from behind him, “You brat, you ran off in the blink of an eye?”
Bai Yu looked speechlessly at Professor Wang Wen, thinking: Damn it! You old man, why do you have to come and join the fun at our young people’s party. You even disrupted the atmosphere when I was looking at a beauty! I really want to punch you to death.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruoxi walked over and politely greeted him, saying, “Hello, Professor Wang!”
She was dressed so beautifully, she was the center of attention for the entire event.
Seeing Liu Ruoxi address Wang Wen as Professor, everyone couldn’t help but be a little curious. They had just thought this person was an old man, a relative of a student, or something.
After all, his tone of voice was very similar, where was the demeanor of a professor?
Wang Wen looked at Liu Ruoxi. He had a close relationship with Liu Ruoxi’s father and had met Liu Ruoxi many times.
Then he looked at Bai Yu again, and a hint of a gratified smile suddenly appeared on his lips, saying, “Haha, so that’s how it is. If you two were to get together, I’d be quite relieved.”
Hearing this, Liu Ruoxi, with her cool personality, didn’t react much.
Bai Yu remained calm about it, thinking, let them say what they want, I’m not losing anything anyway.
The people around were full of question marks.
“What’s going on here? Doesn’t the goddess have a boyfriend?”
“Didn’t you hear that they’re trying to force them together?”
“Oh oh oh, I thought the flower had already been fertilized.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s face darkened. He glanced at the speaker, marking them in his little black book!
“By the way, who is that guy?”
“Don’t know him, but he’s not worthy of the goddess, so don’t worry.”
Bai Yu had more experience now and was very stable, not having much of a reaction.
It was just that his fists were getting harder!
He roared inwardly: ‘Damn it! It’s just that I don’t want to pursue her now, otherwise I could have won her over in minutes! You guys can be envious and jealous.’
‘And, Wang Wen, you old guy, I really want to punch you to death!’
‘Moreover, will you old guys play matchmaker? It’ll definitely be a disaster!’
‘No! I don’t even like Liu Ruoxi, what are you barking about here?’
Thinking about this, Bai Yu clenched his fists in anger, making them pop.
Professor Wang Wen said, “What? You brat, you want to make a move?”
“Come on! I’m standing right here.”
Bai Yu couldn’t stand the old man’s thick skin anymore and quickly said, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s not embarrass ourselves here, okay?”
Seeing Bai Yu’s awkward expression, Wang Wen felt much better.
After moving further away from the crowd, Professor Wang Wen said, “By the way, I just contacted Old Feng. You two should have a good chat later.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll do as you old folks arrange.”
“Oh, and that thing of yours is really useful. Tell me more about the effects after your recent use, I need to record it.”
Bai Yu clenched his fists but held back.
“Sure! I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Before long, the party officially began.
Since it was a student party, it wasn’t particularly high-class. Everyone was mainly there for the atmosphere, to commemorate their youth.
As for Bai Yu, he silently watched the two old men beside him!
My youth is these two guys?
Sigh~ What bad luck!
Getting back to the main topic, Professor Feng immediately apologized for the previous incident and brought some lightning-attribute cultivation items.
Bai Yu saw that Wang Wen had worked hard to mediate, so he accepted the apology and the gifts.
Of course, a smooth reconciliation often means there are still underlying issues that will take a long time to resolve.
Afterward, Bai Yu didn’t stand on ceremony and directly took out the Lightning Strike Talisman, discussing the mathematical calculations of the inscription patterns with Professor Feng.
This immediately attracted Professor Feng’s attention.
“Your mathematical graphical calculation method is truly innovative! I’ll quickly draw this pattern according to your algorithm, and it will definitely be effective.”
“By the way, when making this pattern, it doesn’t need to be drawn too precisely to be effective. I currently don’t know of anyone who has calculated the original inscription pattern using mathematics. How did you find the original?”
Professor Feng might not know, but that doesn’t mean no one in the world has ever calculated it using mathematical algorithms.
It’s just that the world is not yet at a point of life and death, and the extraordinary realm hasn’t reached a level of complete openness. Everyone keeps some secrets.
Bai Yu had already thought of his explanation and said, “The piece of wood in the laboratory.”
Professor Feng heard this and thought of the Scepter of Thunder!
When he saw this item, he felt that it was definitely not simple.
Professor Feng had already forgotten their minor conflict and excitedly asked, “Do you have the original calculation for other inscriptions?”
Bai Yu sighed deeply upon hearing this, “Sigh~ Is this a place for research?”
Professor Feng’s first reaction was, “Indeed! This setting isn’t very suitable. How about we go to Old Wang’s laboratory? We can talk all night!”
Bai Yu’s eyes widened.
???
Damn! Is that what I meant?
I wanted to enjoy the party! Not hang out with two old men.
Professor Feng quickly realized, and then looked at the dance performance on stage, saying, “What’s so good about this? It’s not even as good as street square dancing.”
This isn’t good to watch? What kind of aesthetic sense do young people have!
And what kind of broken square dancing!
However, those few crosstalk performances were indeed awkward, and they weren’t from Tianjin.
Bai Yu: “. How about we find some time? Like tomorrow.”
Seeing that Bai Yu genuinely didn’t want to talk, Professor Feng felt a bit regretful. Their conflict had only just eased.
If Old Wang were to talk to Bai Yu, it might continue.
But his relationship with Bai Yu was awkward, so he felt embarrassed to force it.
He could only say, “How about tomorrow morning? I’ll come to your bureau.”
“Alright.”
Professor Wang Wen, on the side, was quite leisurely. He had already learned the method for making the Red Horse Grass Potion and was waiting to experiment tonight!
He had already gained something.
As for Old Feng, he had only learned about one inscription, and was currently intensely interested in the mathematical algorithm of the inscription, but there was no follow-up!
‘Hahaha~ Old Feng must be anxious to death in his heart.’
‘He deserves it! You insisted on misunderstanding this treasure, Bai Yu.’
‘You should have just stated your doubts honestly back then, shouldn’t you? Now it’s going to be difficult~’
Bai Yu finally escaped the two old professors and could relax a bit! He walked down the stairs, raised his glow stick with Zhang Youpeng and others, and joined the party.
This was probably a rare mortal memory for him in the future.
The two old professors looked at the atmosphere in the stadium and found it quite interesting, so they didn’t insist on doing research.
They walked down and sat with the young people.
The twenty-seventh performance was Liu Ruoxi singing a song about youth.
“Woohoo~ Goddess! Goddess!”
“Go!”
“Ruoxi! I love you~”
“Love you (づ￣3￣)づ╭～”
Professor Wang Wen saw this scene and immediately became interested. He patted Bai Yu’s shoulder and said, “How about it? Do you want me to help you out? Otherwise, she might be snatched away.”
Bai Yu rolled his eyes and shook his head, “Forget it. Just don’t mess things up for me, old man.”
“Oh? Does that mean you want to pursue her?”
“Not yet.”
Bai Yu’s words were quite honest.
His previous life was definitely not as enjoyable as his current one.
Now that he had encountered a beauty of this caliber, with such a unique temperament, it was naturally captivating.
But he was a relatively rational person. This was an extraordinary world, and in the future, alien gods would invade, the apocalypse would come, and base cities would be annihilated. Survival itself would be a problem, so where would he have time for romance?
He wasn’t the type to just date casually and then break up.
While Liu Ruoxi was singing, many people went up to give her flowers.
At first, it was a few girls, but when boys started going up, the whole crowd began to cheer.
At this moment, one person caught Bai Yu’s eye.
It was the leader of the group Sun Yi was following, a man with several tufts of purple hair.
Seeing Bai Yu’s expression change slightly, Professor Wang Wen, with the look of someone who had been through it all, smiled and said, “This is someone from the Lei Family, named Lei Wenjie. You brat finally have a rival! If you don’t make a move soon, it might be difficult.”
Hearing about the Lei Family, Bai Yu couldn’t help but be stunned.
His heart fluttered, Damn! Finally encountered someone from the Lei Family.
And could this guy have sent the Vampire Clan Modified Being to attack Liu Ruoxi?
His gaze followed Lei Wenjie as he walked off stage, looking towards Sun Yi and his group.
His eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that this possibility was definitely there!
If he could use this lead to gradually uncover the Lei Family, a big fish, it would be a good thing!
With this thought, Bai Yu took out his phone and took pictures of Lei Wenjie and the others, to confirm if this group would be missing after the Vampire Clan Modified Being attack incident.
Professor Wang Wen saw this and said, “What’s wrong? Are you planning to fight them, you brat?”
His voice was a bit loud, and Sun Yao and the others couldn’t help but look over, wondering what was going on.
Bai Yu was speechless, “Professor, how old are you! Can you stop talking nonsense, or you’ll end up in a mental hospital. Of course, if the doctors come looking for you, I can sign for you, don’t worry.”
“Hey~! How can you talk like that? If I go in, I’ll have to request you to accompany me!”
“Accompany you my ass!”
Professor Feng, standing nearby, saw this and smiled.
These two guys!
Meanwhile, Bai Yu thought for a moment and quietly asked the two professors, “By the way, Lei Wenjie seems to have gathered over a dozen Transcendent beings around him. Which faction are they from? I haven’t seen them before.”
Professor Wang Wen knew about this. “It’s a small team from the Yunbei District Investigation Bureau, supported by the Lei Family. Why are you asking so suddenly?”
“There’s a roommate I haven’t seen in years among them, so I was a bit curious.”
After speaking, Bai Yu leaned back and took out his phone, inserting the group’s contact card.
Seventh Group First Combat Squad Group Chat.
Bai Yu sent a message: “The party is almost over, what’s your arrangement?”
Li Yunbin: “We’ve already contacted Liu Ruoxi’s driver. We’ll hide in her car.”
“??? Damn! Captain, you’re alive?”
“Heh heh~ I heard someone wanted to usurp my position while I was away. If I didn’t come back, wouldn’t I have to hear: Group Leader, why are you rebelling?”
Bai Yu saw this message and smiled, thinking: Is this the Group Leader himself?
“Uh, it definitely wasn’t me who wanted to usurp. Also, who’s spouting such nonsense?”
After some playful banter.
Li Yunbin asked, “Is there any way to confirm the attacker’s strength now?”
“I only know it’s a Vampire Clan Modification. The risk isn’t particularly high. Even if we don’t act, someone else will step in to resolve it. By the way! Captain, if you guys make a move, that person might not show up. You must pay attention to who it is.”
“Alright, you be careful too.”
“Don’t worry, Professor Wang Wen and Professor Feng are by my side, that’s over ten bodyguards combined.”
“It seems like you’ve done something big again, kid.”
Li Yunbin was worried that Bai Yu’s relationship with Professor Feng hadn’t smoothed over yet.
Who knew it would be resolved in one night.
10:20 PM.
The last performance of the party was a chorus.
As it was nearing the end, the venue became lively.
Bai Yu and Zhang Youpeng and the others stood up, preparing to leave.
“By the way, where are you two planning to stay tonight?”
Zhang Youpeng thought for a moment and said, “I’ll be staying at school for the time being, it’s more convenient.”
“I’m also planning to stay in the dormitory tonight. Why don’t you come along?”
Bai Yu shook his head and refused, “I’ll pass. I have a lot of things to be busy with every day.”
Wang Haobin really wanted to ask what those things were, but he knew he wouldn’t get an answer.
Actually, judging from Bai Yu’s interactions with the two professors today, Bai Yu was definitely heading down the path of scientific research, and he was quite capable!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to fool the two professors so easily.
As they walked and chatted, the two professors followed behind, also talking about random things.
Further behind them were Wu Hao and Li Wan’er.
Tonight, Li Wan’er’s gaze was constantly, intentionally or unintentionally, directed at Bai Yu, and at the two professors.
Her thoughts had become increasingly complex!
After learning about the extraordinary world, her ambition had naturally been ignited.
Originally, in the ordinary world, finding a rich second generation like Wu Hao felt like her limit. Her future life would be pretty good, and there was no need to aim too high.
But upon entering the extraordinary world, Wu Hao was considered low-tier, while her down-and-out ex-boyfriend had become someone of high status!
This psychological gap was difficult for her to accept.
The day before yesterday, after Bai Yu went to the gym, she learned from the extraordinary group chat that Bai Yu’s current status was much higher than she had imagined!
Now, Bai Yu was chatting and laughing with two professors, and she learned from Wu Hao that these two professors were renowned researchers in the extraordinary field, with very high status!
She even felt that Bai Yu’s few words could elevate her to a new level.
But she had missed out!!!
How could she accept this?
‘Why am I so unlucky!?’
‘If only I had persisted a little longer back then?’
‘He doesn’t seem to be dating anyone else yet. Do I still have a chance? Given how familiar I am with him, I should.’
Just as Li Wan’er’s gaze was fixed on Bai Yu, her thoughts in turmoil, Wu Hao calmly said, “We’ll part ways here.”
Li Wan’er was absent-minded at this moment and instinctively replied, “Okay.”
But then she realized the meaning of his words and widened her eyes, looking at Wu Hao.
“Why!?”
Wu Hao looked at Bai Yu, then at Li Wan’er, and then calmly said, “You actually have some good qualities, you’re smart and understand people. But there’s one major flaw that you can’t hide, and that is… your ambition is sky-high, but your fate is as thin as paper. You can’t see reality and don’t understand your own position.”
Why did he tell Li Wan’er the identities of the two professors? He knew that doing so might exacerbate Li Wan’er’s inner disappointment, but he did it anyway.
Because he just wanted to do it!
He wanted to see how serious Li Wan’er’s vanity was.
Li Wan’er was also smart. Upon hearing this, she instantly understood.
She suddenly felt like the sky was falling!
She had always been thinking about what she could get from Bai Yu, but she had never considered that if she lost Wu Hao, she wouldn’t even have the funds to improve her strength in the gym.
Thinking of this, various emotions mixed together, and she shed tears.
“Don’t be like this~!”
Because Li Wan’er’s voice was a bit loud, everyone’s attention was drawn to them.
From a simple listen, everyone knew it was a breakup.
Everyone was happy to watch such drama.
Wang Haobin caught the scent of gossip and said, “Your ex-girlfriend seems to be heartbroken.”
“So what if she’s heartbroken? What does it have to do with me?”
“Aren’t you going to comfort her? There’s a move called ‘taking advantage of an opening’.”
“Bah! Not close. There’s also a move called the Great Dao of Ruthlessness. I don’t want to bother. How about you help me out?”
“If my girlfriend isn’t here…”
Sun Yao said ‘fiercely’, “If I’m not here, what do you want to do?”
“Cough, cough, I definitely don’t want to do anything.”
