Dating the Strongest Boss

Chapter 53 - Devil Exchange

Translator: Yuzu

Xiao Chen’s dull eyes slowly focused, and his whole body became slightly more colorful. He gradually came to his senses, moved his lips, and softly called out, “Su Yan?”

Something in the air seemed to have frozen.

Xiao Chen swallowed his saliva, and his Adam’s apple moved. He bobbed his head and patted his face with his palm.

He didn’t even seem to notice that he had just uttered a name for no reason at all.

Xiao Chen’s fingers lightly passed over the screen of the phone. He didn’t say anything but was in deep thought.

There were a lot of people online lately. People would start posting from time to time, and it could be turned into a high-rise building easily.

This may be related to the fact that the school has not been peaceful lately.

Xiao Chen’s fingers faintly paused as a title of a post caught his attention. Xiao Chen frowned and subconsciously looked back at Zhou Ming, who was behind him. It was unknown when Zhou Ming put down the game console, but he, who rarely used the computer, turned it on and tapped his hands on the keyboard.

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and continued to read the post. The post’s name is: What kind of person is the department flower of the School of Journalism and Communication in private, do you know?

Xiao Chen was aware of this person; this girl was Luo Xiaoxiao. Zhou Ming had been chasing the goddess since high school.

He had followed Zhou Ming to meet her twice, and she was really good looking.

In fact, Zhou Ming looks quite good. Although his character is more playful and cynical, he is very serious in terms of relationships. If someone chases him, he won’t hang around, and he’ll make a quick decision. Not to mention that when he meets someone he likes, he can’t wait for the world to know. Supposedly back then, he was at the tail end of his class. To catch up with Luo Xiaoxiao, he studied and worked hard day and night to get into the same university as his goddess. The final results were quite impressive, but it wasn’t enough. Even though he was a little short of the university admission line, he quickly asked someone to buy his way into the place.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Chen saw this post, he cast his gaze at Zhou Ming.

Xiao Chen looked at this post, his hand slightly paused, and finally clicked on it.

Xiao Chen flipped through the post roughly, reading the general content of the post. After reading it, he really couldn’t help but frown.

The content of the post was somewhat overwhelming.

The post thoroughly described Luo Xiaoxiao as a backstabbing wh*re, describing in graphic detail how she privately hooked up with those men and how she benefited from them.

How usually unreasonable and arrogant she was, and how she privately ridiculed the boys who chased her. It even posted a bunch of chat records.

Of course, what made Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown the most was that Zhou Ming was mentioned in this post.

Zhou Ming is the most special of all Luo Xiaoxiao’s suitors. He’s so in love with her that almost everyone knows he’s cut off all his love affairs for her.

This post addresses all of these things. First, it describes Zhou Ming as a love-struck man in a long, drawn-out article. It then belittles Luo Xiaoxiao’s lack of interest in Zhou Ming and her mocking of him behind his back.

Looking at it roughly, it would really feel like a goddess falling off the pedestal.

But let’s be honest, this kind of post, one without substantial impactful photos, and with little supporting evidence, except for the chat records, which can be fabricated proof, is not at all credible.

But you have to understand that people are creatures with a predatory mind who like to see heroes fall from grace. When they are given a reason to attack those who are good, they just swarm up as righteous ambassadors, not caring whether things are real or not.

After all, there was no cost for spreading rumors. All it took was a mouth.

Xiao Chen’s expression grew heavier and heavier. He flipped through the posts again. The content of the following posts even began to use Luo Xiaoxiao to write unsightly articles. A group of people then began to belittle and mock her.

It was really hard to imagine how a group of people could have such great malice towards a girl.

Xiao Chen was thinking, and before he could turn the page, this post had actually been deleted by the system.

Xiao Chen was first stunned and then looked back at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming’s expression was grave, even ugly, while his fingers kept tapping on the keyboard.

Xiao Chen had guessed it!

This post was deleted by Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming only could not calm down at all on the matter of Luo Xiaoxiao.

Zhou Ming ignored Xiao Chen’s gaze, but he looked a little anxious. When he finished getting everything done, he shut down the computer. Then, without saying anything, he walked straight out the door without even putting on his shoes. His steps were very eager and looked a bit of a mess.

Xiao Chen looked at his back thoughtfully and stayed there.

Retracting his gaze, he continued to be in a daze.

Xiao Chen stayed in his chair, staring out of the window at the scenery. He didn’t know what he was thinking about, but he gently took out the bunch of roses that had mysteriously appeared from his drawer and stared at it.

Red roses…

Little rose…

Suddenly, with a jolt, his eyes, which had been dull, snapped awake. He sprang to his feet. His chair made a creaking and squeaking sound as he moved dramatically.

He looked around, and something seemed to pop into his head. He abruptly started running for the door as if summoned by some sort of soul bond.

He ran so hard that his heartbeat was incredibly fast.

It was probably because he was in too much of a hurry that quite a few people were looking off to him along the way. But it was as if he didn’t see the looks the rest of them were giving him and didn’t care.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his head!

The wind slowly blew against the leaves, making a rustling sound.

The sun was quite fierce, and it wasn’t too comfortable to be out under it. The leaves were against the sunlight, spreading a halo of light that hit the ground.

Xiao Chen’s footsteps stopped, and he paused in place. He still clutched the flower in his hand, and he was still panting, and his forehead was covered with sweat beads because he had just run too fast.

His hand holding the flower was covered in dense sweat, and if you looked closely, you could also notice that his hand was shaking a little.

As usual, there were very few people coming to the library. Especially after Wang Jinyi’s murder, there were hardly any students coming here.

Xiao Chen looked at the Wishing Tree from a distance with a somewhat numb expression. He stepped forward step by step, like a young man who was trying to get a date with his beloved while still clutching the flowers in his hand.

“Su Yan?” Xiao Chen’s expression somewhat moved. He pursed his lips, and his gaze fell on the tree in front of him.

The wind blew up the bangs on his face, and the eyes hidden in the frame of the glasses were revealed.

And these eyes were beautiful, with tears in them, like stars.

“Su Yan? Is that you?”

It’s you. Are you back?

—— I’ve waited too long! I’ve been waiting for you!

If you leave again, I really don’t know how many more crazy things I’ll do.

Because you’re the only medicine to stop me from getting sick.

If you don’t stay with me, I’m nothing but a rabid dog who bites at everyone I see.

“Did the autopsy results come out?” The woman’s expression was serious as her fingers tapped on the table.

The male police officer who was next to her immediately handed the report that had just been sent over to the woman.

The woman’s name was Zhou Yingmei. She had been a police officer for more than a decade, but she had never encountered such a strange case since she started her career.

It was understood that Wang Jingyi had many unexplained aspects before her death. Her personality had changed somewhat drastically. If it weren’t for the fact that there couldn’t possibly be any gods or monsters in this world, she really would have to wonder if this person’s core had changed.

Putting aside her personality for the moment, it was also confirmed that her intelligence had dropped far too much. It wasn’t as if she (ZY) hadn’t met girls who were devastated by their love affairs, but she hadn’t seen anything like this.

Zhou Yingmei flipped through the autopsy report, her expression growing increasingly severe.

When they first recovered the body, they had also wondered if it was a suicide. As they accessed the CCTV, there was only one monitor over the pool, but the location was not pointed where Wang Jingyi was found dead. Still, it could basically be ruled out that someone else had walked nearby that night.

But after further delving into the investigation, they realized that it wasn’t that simple.

There was no water in the deceased’s lungs. The lobe of the deceased’s lungs did not sink even when placed in the water, which basically rules out the possibility that the deceased drowned.

As Zhou Yingmei flipped through the autopsy report, her face crumpled into a ball.

As it turned out, the real cause was a sudden death due to myocardial infarction.

According to Wang Jingyi’s roommates, since Li Da’s death, Wang Jingyi was a bit distracted. For a while, she even looked like a different person. Her whole body was aging rapidly, but for some reason, she returned to her teenage self overnight. From this day on, Wang Jingyi’s grades jumped off a cliff.

The woman narrowed her eyes at the autopsy report. She then said to the male officer, “Go find out where Wang Jingyi was on the day that Li Da died.”

Li Da and Wang Jingyi’s death. She had an inexplicable intuition that the two were definitely related.

This was her intuition as a woman as well after being a police officer for so many years.

This is precisely the kind of sixth sense that got her to where she is now.

Yang Sun has been sitting cross-legged in front of the computer with instant noodles in his arms. He was half-naked, his hair was a little oily, there was still soup on his face from the instant noodles. His eyes were covered in black and blue as he had been in front of the computer for days. He looked both greasy and a little sloppy.

Messenger of Justice: Oh my, Luo Xiaoxiao is actually such a wh*re. I didn’t expect that the usually seemingly high and mighty actually play so openly in private. I wonder what it’s like to sleep together once.

Yang Sun scratched his head and picked at the residue in his teeth with his fingers. Then, he continued to post some obscenities under the post.

“Che, pretending to be noble in front of Lao Zi. It’s still just a thing that sleeps with people.” Yang Sun snorted as his fingers struck the keyboard violently. As if Luo Xiaoxiao had killed his entire family, he stirred up and cursed underneath the post with great passion.

Looking at the comments that gave him praise that even covered tall buildings, he hooked his lips. He picked his nose before continuing with his long speech.

Before he could send the text out, the page actually directly crashed!

“F*ck.” Yang Sun didn’t hold back and directly cursed out, his stomach instantly filled with anger.

He exited the page, only to find that the post had just been deleted!

“Heh, this young master hasn’t even scolded with pleasure yet.” How could Yang Sun just let go of such an opportunity to insult Luo Xiaoxiao? The resentment from when his confession was rejected last time has been accumulating here.

Yang Sun decided to re-open a post and continue to build a tall building, bringing in the netizens who had just replied to him passionately. It was a fun thing to humiliate Luo Xiaoxiao.

Heh, got you, fake nobility.

—— Did you know that internet spewers are creatures who are clearly dark inside but like to consider themselves to be noble and attack others from the high ground of reason.
