Chapter 270 Not Going Well
Chapter 270 Not Going Well
The original version of this story is probably that a boy named Guo Qi liked Su Qing, confessed his feelings to her, and was rejected.
The few days he disappeared in the middle were probably spent secretly following Su Qing and then creating some chance encounters.
During this period, Guo Qi likely connected with Su Qing's roommate, who also lived in room 404. Su Qing's route was probably secretly told to Guo Qi by this roommate.
Given that Su Qing had lost underwear and other personal items, it is reasonable to suspect that her roommate stole them and gave them to Guo Qi.
“It must have been sold to Guo Qi. This girl probably paid for it,” Lu He pointed out a very important clue: “What happened to Su Qing must be related to the voyeurism organization.”
"So Guo Qi must have found this organization in the first place and then purchased certain services for Su Qing." Lu He's hypothesis was very bold.
This suddenly opened Xia Lan's mind: "I understand, this roommate is actually doing this for money, and might even be a member of that voyeuristic filming gang."
Lu He pointed at Xia Lan and made a bigo gesture: "Yes, that's what I mean."
"Next, should we go to Zhou Ziyin to inquire about Guo Qi?" Xia Lan felt that among the clues given in the diary so far, only Guo Qi was mentioned by name, so it should be possible to ask Zhou Ziyin.
Lu He nodded. The roommate's name was not mentioned, probably because there was a lack of clues. Following this line of thought, they needed to find out what Guo Qi had used to threaten Su Qing.
Currently, the nude photos are only suspected, not conclusive evidence. Only by proving that it was something only a roommate could have done can we obtain relevant information about that roommate.
Lu He poked his temple with his finger, somewhat troubled. The way to advance the mission was just like playing a game. Although he had figured out the general idea, he still needed to get the key clues to unlock the game's progress.
I wonder what's going on with Shen Tong. Should I send her a heads-up? Lu He took out her phone and hesitated before dialing the number.
The other end answered immediately: "Hey? Missing me?"
A chill ran down Lu He's spine, and he glanced guiltily at Xia Lan, who was still engrossed in studying the diary. He was glad he hadn't turned on speakerphone.
Shen Tong never seems to have any boundaries when she speaks; isn't she just asking for trouble and stirring up misunderstandings?
"Any progress on your end?" Lu He preemptively asked, checking to see if Shen Tong had any valuable information to exchange before sharing her own.
"Not yet. Zhou Boming is actually a rich young master. He's always been escorted to school by bodyguards and is almost never alone. It's hard to make a move on him..." Shen Tong immediately started complaining.
When it comes to underhanded tactics, there's really nothing you can do when you encounter someone who's so heavily guarded.
"Can't you just trick me? You're a teacher, after all." Can't you outsmart me? Lu He looked disgusted.
"Me? A PE teacher? What reason would I give for calling a top student out? Because they failed the PE exam?" Shen Tong's surprised tone was almost a direct accusation that Lu He was talking without any real understanding of the situation.
"Okay... I'll organize my situation here and send it to you in a bit..." Lu He was too lazy to listen to her useless complaints and hung up the phone directly.
"What's wrong? Is things not going well with Shen Tong?" Xia Lan's attention eventually shifted from the diary to the phone.
Lu He nodded and made a shrugging gesture.
“For a rich kid like Zhou Boming, Shen Tong’s kidnapping and arresting methods definitely won’t work…” Xia Lan expressed her understanding.
"Huh? You heard everything?" Lu He was taken aback.
"Although it wasn't on speakerphone... maybe Shen Tong has a loud voice..." Slightly embarrassed, Xia Lan tilted her head and smiled.
She knew Lu He was concerned about whether she had overheard Shen Tong saying something flirtatious.
Xia Lan moved closer to Lu He and gently pecked his lips.
“Xiao Lan…”
"Alright, alright, you can't control what she says or does anyway~" Xia Lan gently hugged Lu He and lightly nuzzled her head with her chin: "You don't need to be so careful~"
“Xiao Lan…” Lu He looked up with a dazed expression, straightened her back, and really wanted to continue that brief kiss.
This step forward pushed Xia Lan against the edge of the table. Xia Lan lost her balance and quickly let go of Lu He's hand, bracing herself on the table with her other hand.
"...What are you doing..." This is a public place, and Xia Lan blushed instantly with embarrassment.
Lu He put his arm around her shoulder, but before he could kiss her, there were hurried footsteps at the door.
The two roommates returned and quickly entered the dormitory one after the other.
Xia Lan pushed Lu He away at lightning speed, and the two quickly stood a great distance apart, pretending to be busy packing their things.
