Chapter 108: Injury

Federation, Interstellar Strategic Academy.

The door of 702 was open, the youth fell in a pool of blood, and a pair of black boots walked away gradually.

Blood gushed out in large patches, Anubis's fingertips twitched, his vision fixed on the pair of black boots walking away, gradually becoming blurred. The next second, his heavy eyelids closed, and his consciousness fell into a blur.

Qiao Suisui was curled up in the rattan rocking chair in the garden, dazed. After that day, Zongfang had left, but didn't take the snake eggs. No one knew where he went.

School couldn't be attended anymore. Ximeng's family's lawsuit was secretly suppressed, and several forces were maneuvering in the middle. She thought the matter would come to an end, but she heard this morning that the entire Ximeng family had been wiped out. It was as easy and silent as the candle she had blown out that day.

Even if she had the answer in her heart, she was still unwilling to give up, expecting to get a different answer, but Laiboli placed the evidence directly in front of her.

"He didn't mean to avoid people at all when he left, and it even seemed like he specifically wanted others to know he did it."

Qiao Suisui looked at the footage captured by the surveillance—

Zongfang was covered in blood, his side face and the corners of his eyes were also splashed with blood stains. He walked out of the main entrance openly, stopped a few seconds after walking out, then retreated, looked up at the surveillance above the gate, licked his lips and smiled.

"He's really crazy, his way of solving problems is always so direct and brutal. Didn't he think that even if he is the son of Suote's high-level officials, even if his scientific research achievements are irreplaceable, this is a crime, and the Federation won't sit idly by," Laiboli said.

Qiao Suisui looked at the figure that made people fear in the paused screen, closed her eyes and sighed: "No, he did it to divert everyone's attention away from me."

After her identity was exposed, although Laiboli had people quickly suppress the news and photos, it was too late. That side-profile photo of her was still being privately circulated on the Star Cloud. Although no one had linked her to Qiao, the student of AOIS, yet, if it were manipulated by someone with a heart, it would only be a matter of time.

Zongfang's move, seemingly crazy without reason, was actually to tell others that Ximeng was killed by him, and he didn't just kill him, but killed his entire family. Such a magnitude of news occupied the headlines of major sections, soon suppressing the discussion about ancient humans. In this way, Qiao Suisui would no longer have any worries.

Seeing her return to her room without wanting to say more, Laiboli cast a look of help to Luka, and Luka said: "If you were Sui Sui, and someone paid for you so regardless of your wishes, and kept increasing the stakes, what would you do?"

After he said this, Laiboli could immediately empathize. "I would probably be out of breath and want to escape."

Luka nodded, "Bystanders all know Zongfang loves her to the point of madness, but they wouldn't know that the person being loved in such a way is actually under great pressure. As the loved party, as long as you raise a slight objection, it will seem like you are sorry for the other party, because his love is too intense and fiery, and without equal concentration, it will lose balance sooner or later. It's better to expose the problem early."

"Miss Qiao." When the servant reported, he interrupted her daze, his face somewhat uneasy: "... His Highness is looking for you."

Qiao Suisui thought it was Laiboli, puzzled why the servant specially reported it. In the past, he would just come in directly, so she said indifferently: "Got it."

The servant hadn't left yet, lowering his voice: "It's His Highness Lan Ze."

Qiao Suisui was stunned for a moment, then got up: "Where?"

Ten minutes later, in the library of the Huangting.

Qiao Suisui walked to the glass of the exhibition area and saw Lan Ze already standing there.

He was still like the first time they met, with a tall posture, a head of short ink-blue hair natural and casual, carrying a clean and gentle smile.

"Lan Ze, you're back?"

"Hmm. I could have seen you even earlier, but it's not too late now."

He used a condition that Laiboli absolutely couldn't refuse as an exchange to return to the Huangting.

Lan Ze smiled at her, politely took her hand, and the two looked at the scenery in front of them together. Behind the floor-to-ceiling glass was the simulated ecology of the Cretaceous period, in which the dinosaur specimens were restored very realistically.

"Last time I said you went to AOIS to go to school and also met new friends, are you still in contact?"

"Not recently, maybe they are busy too." Thinking of Bi and Li Yi, Qiao Suisui relaxed a bit. Lan Ze followed her emotions and asked about some interesting things she had at school. The atmosphere between the two was as peaceful and friendly as before.

"By the way, I heard that students of AOIS were attacked by people outside the school. I don't know if it's true or not. Are your friends okay?"

"Attack?"

Qiao Suisui hadn't heard of it. Because she couldn't go to school, she was in a bad mood, thinking that out of sight was out of mind, so she blocked the group inside the school.

Lan Ze's brows furrowed slightly, sighing: "I heard a student without mental power was attacked. It's really terrible. But does AOIS recruit people without mental power now?"

Qiao Suisui was struck by lightning. She paused for half a second and asked: "What's the name of that student?"

Lan Ze shook his head, his expression blank: "Not very clear, what's wrong? Do you know him?"

Qiao Suisui immediately took out her light brain to search, but found that there were no announcements on the entire network. She clicked on the group again and found that the freshman group of this year had actually been disbanded.

She clicked on Li Yi's ID again and dialed it after using the Voice-Changing Pill.

The audio rang three times before being answered, and the voice on the opposite side was very heavy.

"Qiao..."

Li Yi's nasal sound was very heavy, and after shouting one word, he burst into tears.

"Where are you... Doctor Li A'rang won't let us contact you, where have you gone, sob ah ah ah ah sob... Bi is going to die sob sob sob sob..."

Qiao Suisui's blood ran cold, and she asked with a trembling voice: "What exactly happened? No, where are you now, I'll go over immediately!"

Li Yi quickly reported a string of addresses, and finally cried and howled a few times, hung up the communication, and wiped his face. He turned to Anubis lying on the hospital bed and said: "How is it, my acting is not bad, right?"

Anubis gave him a speechless expression.

His upper body was bare at the moment, with bandages wrapped several layers thick around his chest and shoulders, and faint bloodstains could still be seen seeping through.

"Why do you want to scare him? Clearly nothing happened."

"Nothing happened, buddy? If it weren't for me, you would have almost seen your great-grandmother!"

Li Yi hummed proudly, acting cocky: "Doctor Li A'rang said he was going to transfer schools. If I didn't make your situation sound more serious, we wouldn't be able to see him for the last time." After speaking, he smacked his lips and spat: "Unlucky, unlucky, ah ptoo ptoo." He even touched the wood three times.

Anubis's lips were pale, looking at a black blood line on his hand, his expression thoughtful.
