Chapter 64: The Journey to Yi Hua University (Part 1)

  Yi Hua University is a well-known private university in our country, whether it is teaching facilities, teacher strength, or teaching quality, etc., which are not comparable to the school I attended.

  So when we arrived at Yi Hua University, I couldn't help but say: "These facilities are too luxurious, they don't look like a school at all, it's just like a luxurious hotel or boutique hotel decoration..."

  It wasn't easy to persuade Principal Min, and Du Yifei, who had followed him, laughed and said: "That's right, you don't even look at people's facilities, how can our school compare?"

  Even Sun Xiao Yi, the secretary of Sun, said: "In terms of conditions, even several national universities in Beijing are not as good as these private schools. Otherwise, who would spend a lot of money to send their children here to study?"

  We were admiring the scenery of Yihwa University when we saw Lee Jung approaching. From a distance, he shouted my name: "Jin Cang, you've arrived! Please come and sit in the office."

  The four of us followed Li Zheng after meeting him in front and walked towards a building that looked like it should be an office building.

  This office building is as high as eighteen floors, looking very magnificent. We followed Li Zheng to the fourteenth floor and sat down in the first room on the fourteenth floor.

  This room is Li Zheng's office, with a decoration style leaning towards Westernization, which can also be considered as a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Our group of four arrived at Yihua University, and we are also guests of Yihua University, so after Li Zheng poured us tea, he said: "Jin Cang, Sun Secretary, Hua Ming, Fei Fei, you just arrived and aren't very familiar with our school, in a moment I'll have someone take you on a tour around our school to see the scenery, how is that?"

  I glanced at Sun Xiao Yi and saw that she didn't say anything, so I could only say: "Alright then. Anyway, we're guests following the host's convenience, whatever Teacher Li arranges for us is what we'll do."

  Li Zheng burst out laughing: "Jin Cang, don't say that! I'm really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I might have already left school... Let's not bring up the past. In short, one sentence - I can be where I am today, all thanks to your blessings, Jin Cang. So this time you've come over, I must treat you well, as a way of thanking you."

  I knew he was referring to the time when I helped rescue a few students at our school, so I smiled and said: "Let's not talk about past things, everything is fate! Teacher Li, if it's convenient for you, could you arrange a place for us to rest? I've been on the bus for a long time and I'm feeling tired, I'd like to take a break."

  Li Zheng immediately stood up: "I'll arrange a room for you to rest in right away, just wait here for a moment, it will be ready soon."

  I smiled and watched Zheng Li leave, then turned to Sun Xiao Yi and said: "Teacher Sun, why aren't you saying anything? This time it's mainly up to you, you should take charge."

  Sun Xiao Yi smiled: "Jin Cang, I know your abilities, so I'm very reassured. This time I came over, one is for school things, but more importantly, it's to take care of a personal matter. So, the liaison with Yi Hua University will be left to you, Wang Hua Ming and Fei Fei to handle. As for me, this afternoon I'll go take care of my personal matters, and if possible, I might not return until tomorrow!"

  I was stunned, looking at Sun Xiao Yi and not knowing what to say. Sun Xiao Yi is clearly the team leader this time, how can she not care about anything and go handle her own personal matters? This seems a bit irresponsible...

  Sun Xiao Yi looked at me dazed, then smiled and said: "Do you think I'm irresponsible? Let me tell you, this time I got Principal Zhou's consent, it's not my own decision, nor am I shirking my duties. Jin Cang, just do a good job with this matter, when we get back to school, I'll let Principal Zhou thank you."

  I forced a smile and said: "Teacher Sun, what more can I say? You go ahead with your work, I'll take care of this matter."

  Sun Xiao Yi smiled, looking very happy: "I knew you would agree, hehe... Jin Cang, with Wang Hua Ming and Fei Fei helping you, this matter will definitely go smoothly."

  I nodded, unsure of what to say. At this time, Du Yifei said: "Teacher Sun, why don't I accompany you to handle your personal matters? It's just a few times with Wang Huaming and it will be fine."

  "Alright then, follow me. Let's go outside and take a look around, buy some clothes, and then we'll set off to take care of things."

  Du Yifei happily followed Sun Xiao Yi and left, leaving me and Wang Huaming behind, completely unaware of what was going on.

  Luckily Li Zheng came back at this time, he seemed to know that Sun Xiao Yi and Du Yi Fei had left, so he said to me and Wang Hua Ming: "I have arranged a room for you, you can go rest anytime."

  I stood up and said: "Alright then. Thank you, Teacher Li."

  Li Zheng smiled and said, "Don't be polite, it's what I should do. By the way, at noon, I'll invite you to have lunch together. The food in our cafeteria is very good, and I guarantee that after you eat, you will have a lingering aftertaste."

  I thanked Wang Huaming again, and then under Li Zheng's guidance, we arrived at a hotel outside Yihua University. Li Zheng had also done his best, each of us having a room to ourselves, which was very spacious and comfortable.

  Wang Huaming didn't want to rest originally, he wanted to go to Yihua University to have some fun. But seeing that I wasn't in the mood to visit Yihua University, he followed me to the hotel to rest instead.

  We had a long and tiring journey, so I fell asleep soon after lying down.

  I don't know how long it took, but the ringing of the phone woke me up. When I opened my eyes, it was a very unfamiliar number. I hesitated for a moment and still answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

  A faint voice came from the other end of the phone: "Jin Cang, it's Bai Xin."

  I was startled and sat up abruptly: "What are you looking for me?"

  Bai Xin said coldly, "Thank you for saving my daughter. However, since you took something that belongs to our Wan Long Society, I hope you can return it to us. I can guarantee that as long as you return what originally belonged to us, we will not bother you again."

  I got a bit angry and shouted: "I've said it many times, I didn't take anything of yours, why don't you believe me?"

  "Bai Xin let out a sigh: "Don't try to deceive me, I'm the only one around you. Jin Cang, that thing is useless to you and will only bring you endless disaster. I advise you to hand it over to us, otherwise, even if you are my daughter's person, our Wan Long Temple won't let you off easily..."

  I got even angrier and couldn't help but yell: "Stop spouting nonsense, if you have any tricks up your sleeve then bring it on. I haven't taken anything from you, what do you want me to hand over?"

  Bai Xin fell silent, and after a long while, he said: "My daughter Bai Feng also said you didn't take anything from the Wan Long Association, however, inside the Wan Long Association... there are people who insist it was you who took our things. So, they will still send people to look for you. You should be careful yourself."

  I couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks for your concern. But I really haven't taken any of your Genetic Warrior disks, I haven't even seen them. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do, we'll just have to fight it out again. Anyway, we've been fighting for so long already, a few more days won't make a difference."

  Bai Xin quietly hung up the phone, seemingly also in a difficult position. Her daughter Bai Feng was rescued by me, but she had to make things difficult for me under the orders of Wanlonghui, which was indeed somewhat difficult.

  I put down the phone and felt uncomfortable in my heart. I couldn't help but call Li Huanhuan: "Sister Huan, do you know the genetic warriors of the Wanlong Club?"

  Li Huanhuan said with certainty: "I know, what's up?"

  I told Bai Xin about my previous conversation with her, and then I heard Li Huanhuan say: "I'll go to Beijing this afternoon, you stay inside Yihua University and don't come out, I'm worried that Wan Long will send someone to catch you."

  I also have this concern: "You'd better not come over, if the Wanlong Association sends someone, you'll be in danger too. I can take care of myself, so don't worry."

  Li Huanhuan said casually, "Can't I go? You're my husband, if something happens to you, what am I supposed to do? Wait for me, I'll come find you this afternoon. By the way, Bai Feng also went to Beijing, not sure if she's looking for you or not, be careful."

  "I was taken aback: 'Bai Feng? Isn't she at Hui Jie's house? How did she come to the capital again?'"

  Li Huanhuan sneered: "Isn't it just that she's afraid we few people will speak ill of her, so she left Sister Hui's house."

  I didn't listen to Li Huanhuan's words, but I secretly thought: Is it really looking for me? Judging from Bai Xin's attitude, her daughter Bai Feng might come to find me. It seems that the CD of that genetic warrior is really important, and Wan Long will not hesitate to pay any price to get it back.

  Li Huanhuan didn't hear me respond, so she became anxious: "What's wrong with you?"

  I came to my senses: "It's okay. I was thinking, you'd better not come over, I don't want us both to be in danger. Besides, there are a lot of things going on over there, so just stay there and deal with those things. I'll get the joint party thing settled with Yi Hua University as soon as possible, then head back to school."

  Li Huan hesitated for a moment before finally saying: "Alright then, be careful and contact me immediately if anything happens."

  I responded with a sound, hung up the phone, and was about to go wash my face when I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was Li Zheng coming to call us to eat, so I opened the room door without thinking.

  The hotel room door was very wide, so I didn't need to let anyone in after opening it. However, the moment I opened the door, I couldn't help but take a step back. Because I saw someone I had just mentioned to Li Huanhuan - Bai Feng.

  Bai Feng looked at me calmly and said in a calm tone: "Brother, thank you for saving me the other day."

  I forced a smile: "That's what I should do, don't say any more."

  Bai Feng nodded and suddenly took a step forward, walking into the room: "Brother, I have nowhere to live, can I stay here for a few days?"

  I was taken aback for a moment, then remembered Li Huanhuan's words and smiled: "No problem, I can go live with Wang Huaming, you can stay in this room."

  Bai Feng looked at me strangely and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you sure you haven't taken the disk of our Wan Long Society?"

  I took a deep breath, nodded, and didn't say anything.

  Bai Feng didn't ask any more questions and said: "Then I'll follow you all the way until we find the disk."

  I felt a surge of anger in my chest and couldn't help but say, "To be honest, you still don't believe me. If that's the case, then just search me directly. Anyway, I really haven't taken anything from you, and I have no idea what you plan to do with me..."

  Bai Feng interrupted me: "I'm following you, not because I suspect you took the disk, but... I want to protect you. At least until we find the disk, I want to protect you from being harmed by the Wan Long Society."

  I was taken aback, feeling a bit unexpected: "You... you think so, I misunderstood you, sorry!"

  "It's okay, anyway I did think of hurting you before, and you didn't misunderstand me..."

  I smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Anyway, this time it was all my misunderstanding of you, and I should be the one apologizing. Bai Feng... you always told me that the genetic warrior is not real, right? Can we now artificially create a genetic warrior?"

  Bai Feng looked at me quietly, her face was very complex, with hesitation and worry...

  I sighed quietly to myself: "Never mind what can't be said, anyway I don't really want to know. If it weren't for you guys chasing me for several months because of that genetic warrior disc, which has been annoying me, I wouldn't even ask you."

  "I can tell you. This is the biggest secret of our Wanlong Association, and I hope you won't tell others. The Gene Warrior project is a genetic medicine that we spent a huge amount of money on, and collaborated with several foreign genetic research institutions and powers. After nearly ten years, it was finally successfully developed. This genetic medicine can cause changes in human genes, giving humans stronger power and speed, and also improving their intelligence, vision, hearing, and so on. However, the genetic medicine we currently have also has a huge side effect - or you could say, defect. Among the ten experimental humans who voluntarily received injections, only half successfully changed their genes, which is five people. But among these five people, only one person's physical fitness was improved. The other four people all became ill and completely lost their ability to move."

  I was shocked: "Only one out of ten is successful? Isn't that a bit too low? In my opinion, your gene medicine can't even be considered successful..."

  Bai Feng nodded: "You're right. However, the disk we lost contained the improved formula for the gene medicine that could theoretically achieve a 100% success rate in modifying human genes. Unfortunately, it's gone missing and still hasn't been found to this day."

  I still don't quite believe what Bai Feng said: "You can develop such a gene drug? This... I still don't quite believe it. You know, many countries are currently researching human genes, but the results are very poor. How could one Wan Long possibly surpass the capabilities of a large country and single-handedly develop a gene drug?"

  "You don't know, in these few years the Wan Long Society has almost used all its financial and human resources on this, plus the support and help from foreign forces, and they really did develop such a genetic medicine."

  I nodded: "The wealth accumulated by the Wanlong Society over the years is indeed considerable, and with the support of foreign forces, it can be said to be wealthy and arrogant. To achieve this point, there is also a possibility."

  Bai Feng walked a few steps forward and sat down on a sofa in the room: "I'm thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?"

  I hastily poured her a glass of water and then asked her: "Then what makes you say that I took the disk?"

  Bai Feng took a sip of water and said, "Actually, it's just speculation. Our boss says you're the military mole, suspecting that you stole our disk during the military raid on our sea base. I know you never took that thing, otherwise, you wouldn't still be in school taking classes."

  I smiled: "That's right, you've already figured it out, so there's no need to follow me anymore. Hehe... Bai Feng, if you call me 'brother', then I'll tell you as a brother, you don't have to suspect me at all, I won't deceive you..."

  Bai Feng also smiled: "I'm thinking of protecting you, brother! Brother, don't persuade me anymore, I've already said it, unless the disk is found, otherwise, I must follow you."

  I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, so I had to give in: "Fine, whatever you want. Bai Feng, I have a lunch meeting with some teachers from Yi Hua University this afternoon, what do you...".

  Bai Feng quickly stood up: "Let's go together, it won't be much trouble with me added."

  I originally wanted her to stay at the hotel by herself, but now it's like this, I can only grit my teeth and say: "Alright then, let's go together."

  I turned around and went out the door, calling Wang Huaming to join us. The three of us were going to Yi Hua University to look for Li Zheng. When Wang Huaming saw Bai Feng, he was taken aback. I introduced them: "This is my... younger sister, Bai Feng. Bai Feng, this is our school's upperclassman, Wang Huaming."

  Wang Huaming hastily smiled at Bai Feng and said: "Hello. My name is Wang Huaming, I'm Jin Cang's senior fellow apprentice, are you a student of Yi Hua University?"

  Bai Feng gave me a cold glance, but didn't even look at Wang Huaming, and turned to walk ahead.

  Wang Huaming looked embarrassed, so I said: "She's making me angry right now, don't mind her. She's not a student at Yi Hua University, she...she didn't finish school, and now she's...a freelancer."

  As for Bai Feng's identity, I feel uncomfortable introducing her to others and can only vaguely say that she is a "professional".

  Wang Huaming nodded and forced a smile: "It seems that your sister's temper is completely different from yours, I was thinking of being friends with her, it seems... haha..."

  I couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What, were you struck by her? I advise you not to think too much about it. Honestly, my sister's vision is higher than that, don't be overly sentimental."

  Wang Huaming nodded involuntarily: "You're right, she didn't even look at me, I can only be infatuated." He paused for a moment: "Right, Teacher Li Zheng came by earlier and said to let us go directly to the second floor of the school cafeteria. He's waiting for us there."

  I quickly caught up with Bai Feng and told her about it, then led her to the cafeteria of Yi Hua University. Wang Huaming followed us from a distance, not even daring to walk alongside us. It seems that Bai Feng's coldness had intimidated Wang Huaming.

  Because Sun Xiaoyi and Du Yifei went out on business, it was just me, Wang Huaming and Bai Feng who attended the banquet.
