Chapter 2799 - 2792: Scheming

"No. I know her, and we don’t have any grudges. I think she pushed me because of the little brother, right?" He Yue had already guessed it. Maybe tonight, her obvious hostility toward Zhan Xiche provoked her revenge.

She likes the little brother too and has openly provoked He Yue more than once; the words she said before heading out tonight are the best proof.

He Yue thought she explained it clearly, but to outsiders, it wasn’t so clear.

Everyone even listened in confusion, bewildered.

"What little brother? Make it clearer!" Yan Ye found the girl’s words confusing as well and thought for a moment before asking, "Which major are you in?"

"I’m not from this school. I’m a high school student!" He Yue felt it’d become quite convoluted and it was better to spill the whole story, "My little brother is Ning Chenguang, and tonight he was supposed to discuss topics with Professor Yan. During that, he needed a notebook, so Zhan Xiche called me to bring it! I brought the notebook, but then I was tricked here... and you all know the rest."

Yan Ye found He Yue’s words somewhat reliable, yet some parts still sounded inaccurate.

Since He Yue mentioned Ning Chenguang, he straightforwardly called Ning Chenguang.

............

The taxi stopped at the gate of the military compound, and Zhan Xiche along with Ning Chenguang walked to her doorstep.

"I’m home now, see you tomorrow." Ning Chenguang stopped.

"I... shouldn’t be going to your place? I want to borrow a couple of books to read." Zhan Xiche casually made an excuse; her bag still contained Ning Chenguang’s two notebooks.

These two notebooks, she had asked He Yue to take out; now she must find a chance to return them.

This way, there would be no evidence, no matter what He Yue said about it.

"Okay. Tell me what book you want to see, follow me." For Ning Chenguang, it was quite common, as she frequently borrowed books.

So now when she wanted to borrow books, Ning Chenguang wasn’t suspicious at all.

Moreover, there wasn’t anything that warranted suspicion now.

Zhan Xiche followed Ning Chenguang upstairs and knocked on He Yue’s room’s door, but there was no response.

He felt a bit puzzled, "Yueyue... Yueyue?"

He Yue didn’t answer.

Ning Chenguang opened He Yue’s door to find the room empty, the book on the table still open: "It’s so late, I wonder where she went."

"Did she go out for a run?" Zhan Xiche had seen He Yueyue night running on the track before and mentioned it casually.

"That’s possible." Ning Chenguang nodded and then said, "You go ahead, all of our bookshelves are in He Yue’s room, the book you want should be in there!"

"Alright." Zhan Xiche nodded, her gaze immediately darting to the rightmost end of the bookshelf, "Can you take that book down for me?"

Ning Chenguang nodded; as he walked toward the rightmost end of the bookshelf to get the book, Zhan Xiche pretended to casually flip through a few books on the shelf. Taking advantage of the moment, she casually stuffed the two notebooks back.

"Is it this one?" Ning Chenguang took down the book and handed it to Zhan Xiche.
