Chapter 90: Chapter 90 I’ve Never Been So Speechless in My Life
She surveyed the classroom with a feigned smile that didn’t reach her eyes, before continuing in a sinister voice, “And to let some people who deliberately spread rumors feel the true power of knowledge.”
When Xu Zhenzhen said this, her fingertips gently caressed the thickest “Criminal Law” book on the desk, as if to say that if anyone dared to make slanderous remarks again, she would use it to show them the weight of knowledge.
Whether it was her oppressive presence or not, the previously chattering crowd instantly fell silent.
But Xu Zhenzhen had no intention of letting them off the hook. Instead, she spoke slowly and deliberately, “If what you were saying had actually happened, the police would have been involved by now. Whether it’s hiring thugs to beat someone up or a mob of over a hundred ruffians attacking someone, the fact that this student can attend class as usual proves that all those are mere rumors. However…”
She paused mid-sentence and pulled out a voice recorder from her pocket.
“Have you heard? Lu Zhaozhao, not being the true heiress of the Lu Family, out of spite, hired people to attack Xia Wenjin!”
“They say she hired over a hundred hoodlums! Oh my goodness, how vicious! And the Song Family isn’t afraid of such a person, tsk tsk…”
“I heard every bone in her body was broken, pulverized fractures! She’s still in the ICU being resuscitated!”
…
Xu Zhenzhen pressed the recorder gently and continued, “All those voices that have just been recorded, each one of you now has a chance to be a defendant~”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The classroom fell utterly silent.
Lu Zhaozhao watched Xu Zhenzhen’s typically explosive entrance and couldn’t help but reminisce about the times they’d spent together in the past.
Would they have a chance to become friends this time?
In her previous life, after graduation, she had joined the lawyer team of XJ Group and got involved in the assassination case of the foreign lawyer Weinberger, ultimately disappearing.
She heard that Weinberger got involved with the mistress of a mob boss, and after the mobster found out, Weinberger was critically stabbed and disfigured.
Lu Zhaozhao had always regretted not meeting her one last time before Xu Zhenzhen left the country.
To meet again now was perhaps a favor from heaven.
While Lu Zhaozhao was lost in thought, a “Criminal Law” book was pushed in front of her, “Classmate, would you like to learn about Criminal Law?”
Seeing Xu Zhenzhen change from her intimidating presence to a socially awkward demeanor, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Only in the Sculpture department would you find someone pushing the study of law.
She had never understood why Xu Zhenzhen, who loved law so much, came to the Sculpture department, and had asked her about it.
She later heard it was because Xu Zhenzhen’s patron had a great love for artists and promised a substantial scholarship if she transferred to the Sculpture department.
Probably the same this lifetime too, right?
After all, her skill in sculpture was really no better than a third-grade elementary student.
But her patron’s favor was irresistible.
Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhenzhen and, through her black-framed glasses, clearly saw her bright, clear eyes.
She reached out to take the law book from her hands, her eyes full of mirth as she said, “I do need to study up on the law indeed. With the heft of this knowledge, no one can resist…”
“Pfft—hahaha…”
Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t hold her laughter, tilting her head to glance at her with what seemed like satisfaction at her response.
She raised her hand to gently dab away a tear at the corner of her eye, “Lu classmate, you’re very interesting. I’ll be looking forward to more interactions with you~”
“Sure.”
Before they had a chance to continue to warm up to each other, the bell signaling the start of class rang out promptly.
Lu Zhaozhao quickly slipped into listening mode, completely unaware that Xu Zhenzhen next to her had taken out her phone and sent out a message.
“I’m very satisfied with the person; I’ll take the task, and the bonus doesn’t need to be doubled.”
Soon, this message was immediately delivered to the other party’s phone.
Sitting in the office, Zhao Xi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the message on her phone.
True to form of their lady, huh? Just after one meeting, she managed to win over the pickiest of their mister’s subordinates?
She had been a bit worried before.
After all, most of the people they had on hand were burly men, and even the women didn’t quite match in age.
After careful selection, only Xu Zhenzhen’s image was somewhat fitting.
But this woman’s temperament was notoriously quirky, astonishing in how she completed every task given to her… but she had two conditions for accepting a task.
One was that the pay had to be high, and the second was that the job needed to interest her.@@novelbin@@
One or the other.
Zhao Xi had been ready to use an astronomical sum of money to smash through her demands, as their mister had set no limit on what he was willing to invest in Lu Zhaozhao’s care.
She never expected that Xu Zhenzhen would actually hit it off so well with their lady, tsk tsk, that’s a huge saving right there.
Song Sinian’s gaze lifted slightly as he saw the uncontrollable smile on Zhao Xi’s face come in spasms, his eyebrows ticking up slightly.
“How’s the situation at the school being handled?”
His tone was indifferent, but his voice was exceptionally grim.
Ever since Lu Zhaozhao became the subject of rumors on the school forum, Song Sinian had instructed him to take care of it.
Beyond that, he had specially assigned a female bodyguard to protect Lu Zhaozhao’s personal safety on campus.
Zhao Xi, who had been feeling quite uncertain up until now, suddenly felt very confident with the latest news from the school.
“Mister, rest assured, with Xu Zhenzhen on the case, you don’t need to worry about the lady’s physical safety, let alone her psychological health.”
With her mouth, she could rebuff a hundred college students without an issue.
If other bodyguards rely on physical defense and offense,
Then Xu Zhenzhen is all about magical attacks and physical attacks, dual-output.
As long as she is willing to protect Lu Zhaozhao, not a single person can get past her verbal assaults unscathed.
Hearing this, Song Sinian’s dark eyes narrowed, “Have you thoroughly investigated the situation at the Lu family? If Xia Wenjin is not dead, make her get out of the Lu family.”
“Uh…”
Zhao Xi tugged at the corner of his mouth awkwardly, “She’s definitely not dead, according to the previous surveillance footage; she was just beaten up by a gang to the point of breaking an arm.”
After all, that gang had been dealt with by Sinian’s men before they even set sights on Lu Zhaozhao.
So they didn’t dare to touch a finger on Lu Zhaozhao.
But he also did not expect that people from the Xia family and Old Master Song had also hired someone to protect Lu Zhaozhao.
This led to the gang that had been roughed up by Sinian’s people being thrashed again by the Xia family’s and Old Master Song’s men.
These thugs probably never felt so speechless in their lives; they’d been beaten up three times just for taking on one job!
And they didn’t dare to offend any of these three groups, so all their anger was directed at the instigator, Xia Wenjin.
Getting their faces swollen and an arm broken by these punks was already let off lightly…
What do you think?
