Chapter 27 Chapter 27. The Center of The Conversation
My sudden appearance was like a bombshell.
The class, which had just calmed down, was once again noisy.
“When did you come back? Weren’t you kidnapped?”
“Did you escape?”
“How is that possible? Don’t you know that the Bai family might be the ones who kidnapped Luo Li? The Bai family is a family of martial arts. How can he run with his small body?”
“That’s strange. Perhaps it wasn’t the Bai family who kidnapped him? If it’s just a normal kidnapper, he’s smart enough to sneak back to school.”
“Who else could it be? As we all know, Luo Li has provoked Bai Yan. The only family that can prevent this from causing panic is the Bai family.”
“Then, Bai Yan was kind enough to let Luo Li go.”
“Don’t you understand Bai Yan’s character? I’d rather believe that Luo Li escaped with his strength than that they let him go.”
…
Everyone had their speculations, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t figure out what method I had used to escape from the Bai family.
The discussion became more intense, and some even started betting on whether I begged Bai Yan for mercy.
Of course, most of them bet that I’ll only be free if I begged for mercy from Bai Yan, and he showed mercy.
Tsk, the scale was too small.
“Silence! Students, it’s time for class.”
They didn’t stop talking until the Math
teacher stopped them.
However, all sorts of gazes still fell on me from time to time.
I calmly walked to my seat under such gazes
and calmly sat down.
After seeing me, Shen Fang and Li Fei had yet to calm down from their excitement.
But even if they wanted to ask me, they couldn’t do anything under the authority of the Math teacher and could only shut up.
When it was time for class, Shen Fang couldn’t help but be curious and secretly poked my arm.
He lowered his voice and asked, “What’s going on? Did the Bai family kidnap you?”
Shen Fang was a little anxious and wanted to know the truth.
“I’m also curious.” Even Li Fei, who usually loved to study, couldn’t help but ask for the truth.
“It’s the Bai family.” I didn’t hide anything
from them. “It’s a pity that the Bai family is a group of retards. I took advantage of the
chaos to escape.”
After I said that, Li Fei and Shen Fang became
even more confused.
“Taking advantage of the chaos?” Shen Fang
was so surprised that he almost shouted.
He only shut up after the Mathematics teacher gave him a sharp look.
“Yes.” When the Math teacher returned to her
desk, I said, “There might be something
wrong with Bai Yan’s brain.”
My answer was so confusing that Shen Fang
and Li Fei were both confused.
I didn’t explain in detail and just started
listening attentively.
I haven’t been to class for three days, so I
must make up for it.
…
Halfway through the class, the Math teacher arranged for us to do some practice questions. Just as I was about to write, the phone in my pocket buzzed.
I took out my phone and found many people tagged me in a group.
It was a new group that had been created a few minutes ago.
[@ Luo Li, tell me, how did you escape?]
[Are you practicing some peerless martial arts
behind our backs? That’s so unkind of you. You have a peerless martial arts secret manual, but you didn’t share it with us.]
[Do you guys think he’s the chosen one? Luo Li, to be honest, you begged Bai Yan to give you a chance to come back, right?] [Shouldn’t you guys be asking @ Ziyu?] [Wasn’t he the one who spread the news of Luo Li’s kidnapping?]
[@ Ziyu, what’s going on? I’m waiting online. It’s pretty urgent. Don’t keep searching;
share.]
[We’re good brothers. @ Ziyu, you can’t bear
to see me so curious, can you?]
[…]
Many people tagged me, but I didn’t reply, so
they focused their attention on Li Ziyu.
The comments below were all @ Li Ziyu.
I deliberately looked at Li Ziyu, who was in
the corner, and found that his expression was complicated, and his hands were clenched nervously.
Because he was facing unknown fears and hidden dangers, his face was also pale. Noticing that I was looking at him, Li Ziyu’s
eyes unconsciously dodged. Tsk, he was too guilty.
His thoughts were written on his face, and he
was still colluding with Bai Yan.
To a certain extent, he was not as good as Bai
Yan.
At least, Bai Yan’s backing was the Bai family.
I looked back at the group chat.
The expectant students were still tagging Li
Ziyu continuously.
[@ Ziyu, you there?] [Please satisfy our curiosity.]
[ No one thought Li Ziyu seemed to have
known in advance that Luo Li would be kidnapped. On the day Luo Li disappeared, he told his friend that Luo Li would be in trouble.
I happened to hear it at that time. ]
[ Do you think there’s a conspiracy to save a
life? [ I think so too! ]
[ It’s scary when you think about it. ]
[ To prevent us from misunderstanding you, I
hope Li Ziyu will tell us the truth. ]
[…]
Those who saw the clues even turned on the
mic with passion.
Their words pierced Li Ziyu’s heart like sharp
blades.
I don’t even need to turn my head to guess
how wonderful Li Ziyu’s expression will be
now.
The messages in the group were flooding in
quickly.
Among the many messages, I quickly locked onto Li Ziyu’s profile.
He only sent one sentence,
[ Ai! Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t make wild guesses. ]
I saw him exit the group chat.
It was as if his guilt was written all over his
face.
Li Ziyu’s escape made the discussion in the group even more lively.
He left the group, and the number of people tagging me gradually increased.
Now, they were like the cream of the crop in
the melon field, crazily looking for melons to
eat.
There were so many messages that I wouldn’t say I liked their enthusiasm. I opened the
dialog box, typed it, and sent it.
[ I want to know what will happen in the
future ]
[ Please wait for the Math class to end. I’ll
explain it in detail. ]
The bell rang. I put away my pen and closed
my book, ready to receive the curious questions of the students. When the Math teacher was about to leave,
she couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes.
The students who usually left the classroom
hurriedly after class was all sitting there today.
It gave off a strange feeling. The only normal one was Li Ziyu, who was
frantically running away. As soon as the Math teacher left, most
students in the classroom gathered around
my seat. “Speak! Did you think Li Ziyu would work
with Bai Yan and order the Bai family to kidnap you?”
“Also, how did you escape the Bai family? Was it a fight or a battle of wits!”
“You brat, your 18 years have been even more
exciting than the 80 years of my grandma’s life. She has never been kidnapped before!” “You’re such a filial son.”
“I don’t know if you are scolding Luo Li.”
“I’m still not sure if Luo Li was kidnapped. I can’t be the only one who isn’t sure about
this. Isn’t it Li Ziyu who’s making things up?”
“I also want to ask! Count me in!” “Alright, alright, listen to Luo Li’s legendary story.”

…
More than 30 pairs of eyes were staring at me.
Even I felt air circulation was complex as I stood in the middle.
I said, “Don’t be anxious.” I first tried to calm
their excitement.
After I spoke, the surroundings became extremely
quiet.
Even Shen Fang and Li Fei were waiting for
me to tell them what had happened in the past three days.
I said slowly.
“Li Ziyu is right. I was indeed kidnapped.”
