My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 47

Later, he understood why the dean had said that. They had been inexplicably given positions that weren’t theirs, and then made to do inexplicable things, like that phone call that night…

It’s not that no one noticed something was wrong, but they dared not speak up, nor would they. The risk was too great, the reward too small, and besides, it was too late for them to realize something was amiss. If something went wrong, they would suffer the same punishment.

After hearing this, Sun Rui commented, “Just as I thought, you really don’t know much.”

What do you mean I don’t know much? I’m just a nobody! This is infuriating! And if you think I don’t know much, why did you even contact me?

Han Dong was indignant inside, but on the surface he still had to put on a smiling face.

“Yes, yes, you’re right. Can you let me go now?”

“I haven’t finished asking yet. I want to ask you, did all the people involved in that incident leave Jiangzhou City?”

“Um… I’m not entirely sure, but I’m certain that many important figures have left, leaving only small fry like us to keep an eye on Jiangzhou City, especially the movements of Wutong Academy…”

“Heh, so you’re just cannon fodder, huh? When someone actually comes knocking, you’ll use your misfortune to buy them time?”

“Yes…it seems that’s correct…”

Sun Du stroked his chin. It seemed there weren’t many important figures connected to “Purple Rose” left in Jiangzhou and the surrounding area. However, the underlings remaining here must have contact information with the big shots to tip them off, so…

Sun Du: “Tell me, how did you contact your superior? Otherwise, if something really happens, how will you report to those ‘big shots’?”

Han Dong: “Um… I can only send messages to one person through contact information. As for others… I don’t know. I can’t confirm whether he’s a really important person or just someone who delivers messages…”

“That’s none of your concern. Just call someone over!”

“Yes, yes!”

Han Dong took out his phone and sent a strange string of symbols to someone. Oh, this kid is up to no good. His inner thoughts revealed the meaning of the code. It was roughly saying that some clueless guy seemed to have become suspicious of them and wanted someone to take him out with some weapons.

Hehehehe, he lied not only to Sun Du, but also to the person opposite him. Are you kidding me? He’s met Sun Du before; how could he not know Sun Du’s strength? Do you think a few people with some weapons could just quietly take him down? And it seems they were only trying to intimidate Sun Du, to stop him from investigating further… Hehehehe! Not ruthless enough!

What’s even more ingenious is that Han Dong knew he couldn’t deal with Sun Du with these people. His original intention was to have them rescue him or draw fire so he could escape… I really don’t know if he’s stupid or smart. If you say he’s stupid, he knows how to use coded messages. If you say he’s smart, he comes up with a method that’s obviously doomed to fail.

Although it was a bit difficult to keep up the act, Governor Sun still had to use the people he had called over, so… well, let’s just pretend we don’t know anything.

“Sir, I…I’ve already called for help; they should arrive around ten o’clock.”

Actually, we arrived at nine o’clock, but Han Dong didn’t say anything. Was he trying to be clever and catch us off guard? Sun Du knew this. He didn’t need to read minds to tell if Han Dong was lying or not; he could tell just by looking at the guy’s expression. Han Dong really couldn’t control his expressions.

“Um… sir, can you let me go now?”

Han Dong’s grin was hard to tell whether it stemmed from respect or secret joy. As for whether to release him or not… dream on! Go talk to the judge!

Sun Du locked Han Dong up, even gagging him to prevent him from shouting. He also used his contact information to gather reinforcements, waiting to arrest him later.

“Mr. Sun, so we need to wait now, right?”

Liu Nuanyu stood with her hands behind her back, looking as if she had returned to normal…

Sun Du: “Yeah, what’s wrong, want to go back to school?”

“No, I… I think we can do something fun, like…”

What was it again? I forgot…

As Liu Nuanyu spoke, she took out her phone, thought she was being discreet but actually quite blatantly glanced at it, and then said:

“Shall we go explore a haunted house?”

“A haunted house?”

Sun Du frowned slightly. The things in the haunted house…wouldn’t scare her? Besides, could a place like a haunted house really frighten her?

Why choose a haunted house?

“I…I want to try it, although I’m a little scared…”

“So that’s how it is…”

Sun Du could tell that she was indeed a little scared; this young lady really hadn’t experienced any hardship.

Sun Du: “So… you want me to come with you?”

Liu Nuanyu: “Yes, that way… I won’t be so scared… You’ll protect me, right?”

“I……”

Sun Du hesitated. Going there gave him a bad feeling, but not going would feel like dereliction of duty. What should he do? Should he believe the girl had returned to normal? What if the girl really… no, in his current state, he probably doesn’t have much charm, right?

After thinking about it, I decided to spend some time with her, just in case, right? She can’t have fallen for someone else so quickly, can she?

“Okay, let’s go.”

“Yay!”

Liu Nuanyu was so happy she almost jumped for joy. She thought to herself, “This man is just too arrogant!” Sun Du, on the other hand, remarked, “As long as she doesn’t act crazy, she’s actually quite adorable.”

…

Inside the haunted house, Liu Nuanyu clung to Sun Du’s arm as they walked through the dark passageway. Whenever something frightening emerged and startled her, she clung even tighter. Amidst her fear, she also felt a surge of joy; Sun Du’s presence beside her provided a great sense of security.

But Sun Du was a different story. The strange people, monsters, ghosts, zombies and ghouls in these haunted houses couldn’t scare him at all, and his expression didn’t even change.

For example, just now, a staff member dressed as a ghost jumped out of the box, saw Sun Du’s expressionless face, and dejectedly squatted back into the box…

Sun Du apologized. Normally, he could feign fear, but now… sigh, compared to these demons and monsters, Liu Nuanyu terrified him far more. Look at them now; if word got out, it would be “father-in-law and daughter-in-law committing incest”… His reputation, built up over a lifetime, couldn’t be ruined like this!
