Chapter 67 - 67 67 Professor Sheng Plays Unconventionally
?Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Professor Sheng Plays Unconventionally Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Professor Sheng Plays Unconventionally Lu Jingyan suddenly looked up, staring straight at Sheng Xian.
Meeting her gaze, Sheng Xian said again, “Good night, Ayan.”
Lu Jingyan could not help but look away, maintaining her composure as she replied, “Good night.”
After she finished speaking, without even glancing at Sheng Xian, she turned and entered the elevator without looking back.
Standing in the elevator, she looked up and out for a moment.
The moment her eyes landed on his clothes, she jumped away as if frightened, the very next second.
As the elevator doors closed, Lu Jingyan watched the red numbers above, raising her hand to cover her chest.
Her heart raced chaotically within her chest, as though it might burst out of her throat at any moment.
She swallowed hard several times, but it did nothing to calm it down.
Lu Jingyan, you really have no backbone.
It was just a nickname, yet why such an intense reaction?
Logically, her resistance to men should be impenetrable, but when it came to Sheng Xian, it was as if she had no defenses left at all.
Especially since that “brother” yesterday, she had even begun to blush.
Lu Jingyan reminded herself to have some self-respect while secretly cursing Sheng Xian.
She gave him her nickname, not for him to actually use it.
All things considered, it was still Professor Sheng’s fault for not playing by the rules.
Lu Jingyan entered the bathroom, took a hot shower, and her lively little heart finally settled down. She stood under the shower, watching the water droplets continually falling down the wall, and suddenly realized that since she could remember, Sheng Xian was the first person to ever call her by her nickname.
Lu Jingyan laughed softly with her head tilted back, turned off the shower, and walked out of the bathroom.
…
Lu Jingyan was still quite concerned about what would happen next with Aunt Sun’s daughter’s case.
From the current situation, it was most likely that Aunt Sun’s daughter was the thief, as there was no other suspect beside her.
If Aunt Sun’s daughter was not lying, then the problem lay with Yang Qinqin—either she had forgotten where she put her money or perhaps she had spent it all and couldn’t remember.
Lu Jingyan had a good memory; when she and Sheng Xian went to the school to investigate, one of the male students was playing Emotion and offhandedly mentioned that Yang Qinqin had posted an update.
When Sheng Xian asked if he could take a look, Lu Jingyan glanced over and happened to note down Yang Qinqin’s account name.
Unable to sleep, Lu Jingyan opened Emotion and searched for Yang Qinqin.
Yang Qinqin posted updates quite frequently—all of them were selfies.
Lu Jingyan scrolled back to about six months ago and noticed that Yang Qinqin looked slightly different from now. She compared photos of Yang Qinqin from the two periods and realised that the change in her eyes was quite noticeable.
Initially browsing casually, Lu Jingyan didn’t expect to discover these details, and only then did she notice the jewelry Yang Qinqin wore, the bags she used, and certain clothes—all luxury items.
As a young lady raised in a wealthy family, Lu Jingyan could instantly recognize that this kind of lifestyle either came from having a supplementary credit card from her family or at least a monthly allowance of fifty or sixty thousand.
Yet, the news reports from the past few days claimed that Yang Qinqin’s living allowance was five thousand a month.
The disparity was just too great.
Five thousand yuan couldn’t even buy the bag Yang Qinqin was carrying.
Lu Jingyan organized her findings and sent them to Sheng Xian, leaving him a message.
Lu Jingyan: “There seems to be a problem with this Yang student.”
Sheng Xian didn’t seem surprised at all, swiftly replying to her message.
Sheng Xian: “I am aware.”
Lu Jingyan: “?”
Lu Jingyan: “Were you just looking at Yang student’s Emotion too?”
Sheng Xian: “No.”
Sheng Xian sent Lu Jingyan several voice clips, excerpts from recordings he had taken that afternoon at the school, while talking to several classmates.
—”I’ve shopped with Yang Qinqin before, and when she made a purchase, she paid with her phone.”
—”When I went out to eat with Yang Qinqin, she would occasionally pay in cash.”
—”There was nothing unusual about Yang Qinqin, except she has been getting a lot of calls recently; she said they were harassment calls.”
—”I received a call in the dorm once, looking for Yang Qinqin, saying it was a debt collection call. I asked Yang Qinqin about it, and she said it was a scam call.”
Lu Jingyan didn’t quite understand what Sheng Xian gleaned from these audio clips.
She typed out her question: “What are you trying to say?”
Sheng Xian: “Yang Qinqin lied; it is very likely she hasn’t lost any money.”
Sheng Xian: “And probably has never lost it.”
Sheng Xian: “If I’m not mistaken, she must be burdened with a lot of online loans. As for her claim of losing money, it was probably to deceive money from her parents to repay the debts, and Aunt Sun’s daughter might just have been caught alone in the dorm on the day she was forced to lie.”
