Chapter 226: 218 Seeking Death! Emperor Ying's Wrath [3 Chapters Release]

Ying Zijin lowered her eyes and turned to ask, “Dad, is Xiao Lan not back yet?”

Wen Tinglan had a long vacation after graduating from third year of high school.

The start date for Norton University differed from that in Hua Country, with school starting in October and holidays in February.

There was a two-month break in between, with the second semester starting in May and the holidays beginning in August.

In a year, that added up to four months of vacation.

Therefore, Ying Zijin planned to take Wen Tinglan back in late September.

After all, he had never traveled far, nor had he ever been apart from Wen Fengmian, so he would be quite unaccustomed.

She reviewed the past day’s events here and only saw that Wen Tinglan had gone out.

“Yuyu’s classmate came looking for him this morning,” Wen Fengmian nodded, “saying it was a class reunion, and he wouldn’t be back until evening.”

“I thought since his psychology had just started to recover, and the doctor suggested more social interaction, I let him go.”

Ying Zijin’s eyes deepened, “Which classmate?”

Ninety percent of the Elite Class students had gone to Imperial Capital University, and they were all in experimental classes.

The remaining ten percent were recruited by various prestigious universities abroad.

And Imperial Capital University’s experimental classes, no matter the faculty, always had a short term.

So at this time, students accepted into the experimental classes had already started their studies in Imperial Capital.

Wen Tinglan had only been in Shanghai City for one term and, due to personality disorder, had great difficulty in social interactions. Apart from the Elite Class students, who else did he know?

“It’s also a student from your school, Yaoyao, from the same batch as you,” Wen Fengmian recalled, “Yuyu told me, before he left the school, he loaned his notes to a second-year student.”

“It’s probably his classmate returning his notes, I am not clear on the specifics.”

Ying Zijin knew about this.

Wen Tinglan didn’t really like writing, his textbooks remained blank.

His tool was his brain.

He could read ten lines at a glance and remember them very clearly.

However, because the Elite Class students were helping him overcome his psychological issues, Wen Tinglan also took the opportunity to organize some notes and his personal understanding of each subject.

As a result, this batch of the Elite Class performed even better than previous ones.

Their scores were so frightening that not a single person scored below seven hundred points!

The top fifty in Shanghai City were all from the Verdant Talented Class.

This had never happened before.

Last month, several students from Class 19 had asked her if they could buy a copy of Wen Tinglan’s notes.

“Yaoyao, don’t worry too much,” Wen Fengmian coughed a few times, “They are classmates, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Ying Zijin lowered her eyes, her lashes drooping, “I will go to the school.”

She turned her head, her voice was cool, “Brother, please take care of my dad for me. He must not leave before I come back.”

Fu Yunshen’s expression paused, not because he was unwilling, but because of this way of addressing him.

He realized that he should not have started teasing the child in the beginning.

In the end, being addressed this way, he was the one who suffered.

“You go,” Fu Yunshen put down the bag in his hands, “I will watch TV with Uncle.”

Ying Zijin’s hand pressed against the door for a few seconds before leaving.

Wen Fengmian’s expression grew more solemn, “Is there some trouble?”

Fu Yunshen’s gaze deepened slightly, yet he smiled, “No trouble, I’ll accompany you inside.”

He had known the little friend for so long and had never seen her emotions change.

It wasn’t indifference, but as if nothing could affect her.

But just now, he could clearly sense a change in the air pressure around her.

It was likely that something had indeed happened to Wen Tinglan.

And her asking him to stay was probably because Wen Fengmian’s life might be in danger too.

Fu Yunshen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he remembered a phone call from a week prior.

He turned his head, “Uncle, has anyone been to the house recently?”

“Quite a few,” Wen Fengmian said, “Yuyu didn’t fill in his college preferences, did he? Imperial Capital University sent quite a few groups over.”

When Wen Fengmian first learned that Wen Tinglan had been directly accepted by Norton University, he was stunned for quite some time.

It took several days before he finally accepted it.

After all, to all students, Norton University was a godlike, unattainable presence.

One could at least aspire to Imperial Capital University, but Norton University existed only in the imagination.

The students of Norton University were also enigmatic, completely obscure to the outside world.

After listening, Fu Yunshen’s fingers tapped lightly on the sofa.

Then, he lowered his head and sent a text message.

[Look into what happened with the Zhong Family.]

**

Verdant Middle School.

The Elite and the Science Experimental Class had finished the entire high school curriculum during the first round of supplementary lessons.

The pacing of the lectures for the regular classes was slower, with physics still covering Elective 3-4.

Thus, the second round of supplementary lessons was for patching up and filling in gaps.

The students did exercises, and the teachers would provide unified explanations when the time came.

Generally, they would lecture at most two classes per day, and the rest of the time was for the students to allocate freely; it was quite relaxing.

After arriving at school, Ying Zijin closed her eyes.

Once again, visions of the past floated before her.

In her eyes, frost slowly began to crystallize.

She headed straight to the third-year building.

After Wen Tinglan’s class graduated, hers moved there.

“God Ying!”

Someone called out to her.

Ying Zijin turned her head.

It was a girl.

Seeing her, the girl excitedly waved and ran over happily, “God Ying, long time no see, are you here for tutoring?”

“No,” Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, “I’m looking for someone.”

She recognized this girl.

She was the top student in the science experimental class.

She came to class 19 several times to ask her questions.

“Oh, oh, then go ahead,” the girl hurriedly said, “when you’re not busy later, I’ll come ask for your guidance again.”

She thought to herself, God Ying is so lazy, there’s no way she would come for extra lessons.

Ying Zijin nodded and went upstairs.

At this moment, the students of the Talented Class were taking a set of mock exams.

They were from Imperial Capital University Affiliated Middle School, and the difficulty was not low.

Imperial Capital University Affiliated Middle School and Verdant Middle School are both among the top three strongest schools in the country, having competed many times in international Olympiad competitions.

As they were quietly working on their papers, the door was suddenly kicked open.

The student at the door jumped in shock, their hand shook, and their pen was thrown inside.

Being abruptly interrupted, the students were quite displeased.

After they looked up, they were at a loss for words.

Ying Yuexuan was slightly astonished, “Sister?”

In the more than a month since her return, she had not seen Ying Zijin once.

Why was Ying Zijin suddenly at the Talented Class now?

“Sister, we’re in the middle of an exam,” Ying Yuexuan stood up, “I’ll take you outside first. Can we talk about whatever you need afterward, okay?”

Ying Zijin didn’t look at Ying Yuexuan; she walked straight to the second-to-last row.

There sat a boy who, upon seeing the girl approaching, looked somewhat evasive.

He quickly lowered his head, pretending to be looking at the questions.

However, the next second, his collar was grabbed and hoisted up.

“Bang,” the boy was slammed against the wall.

This scene made the other students in the class widen their eyes in shock.

Ying Yuexuan was especially incredulous.

The last time she saw Ying Zijin was when Zijin was brought back to the Ying Family.

Back then Zijin hardly dared to speak, so how had she become like this now?

A sharp pain from behind made the boy scream out, furious, “Ying Zijin, what the hell are you doing?!”

“You left our class, and yet you still can’t keep to yourself?”

Ying Zijin didn’t let go, instead, her grip even tightened, “Where is my brother?”

Sinse arriving in Shanghai City, she had hired bodyguards to protect Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan.

It was so that even if she wasn’t there or was occasionally negligent, the Ying Family couldn’t do anything.

But even with the strictest protection, something had gone wrong.

The boy’s expression stiffened for a moment, a flash of panic in his eyes.

But he quickly composed himself, scoffing coldly, “Are you joking? What does your brother have to do with me? Didn’t he go to school?”

“A first in the third-year class, a national top scorer for the university entrance exam, perfect score in science, so impressive,” he added mockingly.

The other students were confused and stared blankly.

Then they saw the girl with one hand lifting the boy up.

“I’m asking you again, where is my brother?”

The students were stunned.

They had seen Ying Zijin kick Ying Feifei into the trash can, but they had never seen her act like this.

“Sister, stop!” Ying Yuexuan couldn’t care about her shock anymore; she hurried forward to intervene, “Don’t choke him. If you have something to say, do it nicely; he’s about to pass out.”

That remark finally made the girl turn her head to glance at her.

Ying Yuexuan’s movement halted, and she stopped in her tracks.

A girl next to her pulled her aside, whispering, “Yuexuan, don’t interfere. Ying Zijin usually doesn’t lose her temper like this, something serious must have happened.”

“If you get involved, she might hit you too.”

Ying Yuexuan’s hand trembled, she could hardly believe it, “Is she really like that?”

“Sigh, it’s just that some people were too much in the class initially,” the girl shook her head, “As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.”

Ying Yuexuan pressed her lips together.

She probably understood why Zhong Manhua still didn’t like Ying Zijin.

“I’ll go find a teacher,” Ying Yuexuan composed herself, “No matter what, you can’t resort to violence.”

Having said that, she left the classroom.

The girl wanted to call out, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

“I wonder if you know about a certain form of punishment,” Ying Zijin’s gaze returned to the boy, her look indifferent, “First, they break every bone in the person’s body, including the little finger.”

“Then they thread a chain through the shoulder blades, the spine, down to the ankle.”

“Finally—” Ying Zijin paused for a moment, then actually smiled faintly.
