Chapter 38

Translator: Zayn_

When I first arrived at the HIV Research Group, even after I comforted them, the team members still looked worried. After knocking on the door, I walked straight to the chair in the research room and sat down.

Without waiting for them to speak, I took the lead and said, “The HIV Research Group is currently being targeted by Vice-Principal Lu Yu. Everyone knows this. If you wish to withdraw from the research group, Lin Hai and I will unconditionally agree. We will also recommend you to the school for a larger research group.”

After I said that, I waited quietly.

If any of the team members chose to leave now, I wouldn’t have any thoughts of revenge. After all, it’s human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Their departure was actually a normal choice.

However, if there were team members who didn’t leave, I would help them and let them be noticed by the Medical Research Institute or a higher-ranked research institute. It was hard to say how brilliant their future would be.

It was easy to add flowers to a brocade, but the difficult part was to send charcoal in the snow.

Right now, they didn’t even know how strong I was. They only knew that the HIV Research Group was in danger. If they didn’t leave even after this, then they would be comrades who could go through thick and thin together.

It also meant… They were worth it. The team members first looked at each other. “I won’t quit,” Shen Xiaoxiao said immediately.

She took a deep breath and said, “If it weren’t for you guys, I would still be bullied by Lu Baining. It was you guys who helped me get out of this predicament. No matter how the vice-principal targets the research group, I won’t leave!”

With Shen Xiaoxiao taking the lead, the remaining members all made up their minds and expressed their opinions one by one.

“I’m not leaving either! The HIV Research Group has a good atmosphere and is strong. I believe that even if the vice-principal suppresses us, we will definitely not be buried!”

“That’s right, gold will definitely shine. This is an eternal truth!”

“Let’s work hard together. With so many people’s strength, how can we lose to that old dog Lu Yu?”

“Hahaha, that’s right. Maybe when the hospital finds out that our HIV Research Group is so powerful, they’ll question Lu Yu why he’s targeting us! When the time comes, get ready to give Lu Yu a hard slap in the face!”

“This student, isn’t your imagination a little too rich? We should focus on learning now and not be afraid of Lu Yu’s targeting! Who cares? Does he really have the final say in the school?”

“Let’s do our best together!”

“…”

The members of the HIV Research Group, including Lin Hai and I, make a total of ten people. As of now, no one had proposed to quit, even though the road ahead was long and full of thorns in their perspective.

“Alright,” I nodded in satisfaction. “However, everyone should be prepared. We’ll give Lu Yu a hard slap in the face sooner or later.”

…

Under the doubtful gazes of my classmates, I calmly left the research room. I knew they don’t believe me. The only way to make them believe was to prove it with actions.

Just as I was about to return to the dormitory, my phone rang. It was Lin Nuo.

I picked up the call. “Hello, sister. what’s up?”

“Brother! Teach me a question. I’ve been solving this question for a long time, but I still haven’t calculated the final result. It’s so difficult!” Lin nuo’s wailing could be heard from the phone. “Your sister is going bald. Brother, you’re my God. Come and save me.”

I shook my head helplessly.

“Send it over.”

[ Lin Nuo: picture. ]

Lin nuo sent the pictures very quickly. I clicked on the picture and didn’t hang up. I was prepared to explain it to her on the way.

Just as I was loading the original picture, I inadvertently glanced at the Vice-principal Lu Yu hanging around the school’s Honor Wall. Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.

Lu Yu must have seen me and was walking towards me. I originally wanted to turn my head and ignore him to avoid attracting bad luck. But who knew that just as I was about to turn around and leave, Lu Yu suddenly spoke.

“Lin Luo…”

Because he was outside, he had a smile on his face. From head to toe, he only revealed one word: Hypocritical. I didn’t leave even though the wolf in sheep’s clothing was slowly walking towards me under everyone’s gaze.

“Vice Principal.” When Lu Yu got closer, I smiled and said casually.

Seeing my nonchalant attitude, the smile on Lu Yu’s face froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual smile.

He wanted to pat my shoulder, but I avoided him without leaving a trace. Lu Yu’s hand could only awkwardly stop in mid-air. However, this time, he put on a good pretense and didn’t immediately tear off his fake appearance. Instead, he sincerely told me, “Lin Luo, you’re the main member in charge of the HIV Research Group. The school has given up on the activities of the Medical Research Institute for the sake of the big picture. You should also tell the members of your research group not to think too much. The school will compensate you.”

Tsk, good job, you’re even more hypocritical. Holding back the urge to vomit, I crossed my arms in front of my chest and smiled. “Vice Principal, think of the big picture?”

I paused for a moment before continuing. “I don’t know, what is the overall situation? To prevent the students of the research group from submitting the research report to the Medical Research Institute… I have never heard of such a thing. Do we submit the report? Can the Medical Research Institute still target the school?”

I asked coldly, not giving Lu Yu any face at all. Lu Yu finally couldn’t hold back his smile. He became visibly serious.

“Student, please don’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m talking nonsense?” I took half a step forward and stared into Lu Yu’s eyes. “Vice-Principal, why are you so anxious? Is it because I’m telling the truth that you’re angry?” I asked.

My words made Lu Yu take half a step back silently. At the same time, my conversation with Lu Yu attracted the attention of many students. I was a core member of the HIV Research Group, and I was quite famous in the school.

There was no need to mention Lu Yu, who was the vice principal. His influence was outrageous. Not knowing what had happened, so the students began to discuss it.

“What’s happening? This person dared to insult the vice-principal? The vice-principal’s face changed. This is amazing. I want to know the truth. I’m waiting online. It’s urgent.”

“Let’s do some basic introductions. This is Lin Luo, a member of the HIV Research Group. He’s also a senior member. That paper was written by him and Lin Hai when they were in the research group.”

“I don’t know if it’s believable or not. Look at Lin Hai’s honest face. He’d definitely split the credit equally. Maybe Lin Luo didn’t do anything at all and got the honor for nothing.”

“I can’t say for sure. But I’m more curious now. Is there a conflict between the vice-principal and Lin Luo?”

“They seem to be talking about the Medical Research Institute. The school’s cancellation of the handover between the HIV Research Group and the Medical Research Institute may have been a decision made after much consideration. Is Lin Luo blaming the vice-principal?”

“Amazing.”

“No way. Does the Medical Research Institute have a grudge against our school? Why do I feel like the vice-principal is blaming Lin Luo? Do they have a grudge?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. How can the vice-principals target students for no reason? I don’t think so.”

“…”

They discussed animatedly, and all kinds of speculations appeared out of thin air. I, on the other hand, wasn’t prepared to argue. When the time came, the truth would surface, and they would come to their own conclusions. It would be far more effective than me trying to explain it now.
