Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Misunderstandings Arise
Have you never seen a pig run even if youâve never eaten pork?
Just as that thought crossed his mind, the door opened with a creak, and Ling Feng walked in carrying breakfast, "Xiao Rui, you havenât eaten anything since noon yesterday, now have something to eat, otherwise your stomach..."
Ling Fengâs words came to an abrupt halt! He never expected to see such a scene upon opening the door!
Yun Hanrui was also shocked; it was only now that she remembered that in her unease she had forgotten to lock the door!
"Sorry, I must have entered the wrong room!" Ling Feng said with a dry laugh, then quickly left the bedroom and shut the door behind him!
"Ah!" A piercing scream then came from Yun Hanruiâs room!
"I was worried she might have encountered some trouble, but I never imagined she would be hiding in her room doing that sort of thing! One really canât judge a book by its cover!" Ling Feng thought to himself, but the image of Yun Hanruiâs embarrassed and angry expression lingered before his eyes.
"Truly a woman like no other!"
...
Fifteen minutes later, Yun Hanrui ate breakfast with an expressionless face, almost as though ice was congealing on it, and the chill emanating from her made Ling Feng, an S-class expert, feel a bit cold.
"Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun have gone to the market to buy groceries!" Ling Feng cautiously said, "Arenât you supposed to go today..."
"Iâm finished eating!" Yun Hanrui interrupted Ling Feng, grabbed her bag, and walked out.
Ling Feng touched his nose, then followed her. He needed to protect Yun Hanrui these next few days, as he had promised Uncle Yun.
Yun Hanrui did not reject Ling Fengâs company, but she did not speak a single word to him all the way, maintaining a face as cold as millennium ice. This dampened Ling Fengâs initial mischievous mood.
What Ling Feng didnât know was that Yun Hanruiâs sour expression was because she didnât know how to act around Ling Feng!
"Ling Feng must think I am a shameless girl!" thought Yun Hanrui sadly, yet she couldnât voice the reason behind the incident. It was like clay stuck to her pants; it wouldnât wash off no matter what.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the Yanjing University Department of Biology. A banner welcoming Yun Hanrui back to campus for a speech had already been hung on the department building, with many students gathered around, eager to catch a glimpse of Yun Hanrui.
"Wow, Xiao Rui, youâre quite popular!" Ling Feng remarked as he watched a few girls holding small welcome flags, excitedly shouting.
Yun Hanrui gave Ling Feng an indifferent glance and hummed a monosyllabic "Hmm" through her nose.
What Ling Feng didnât know was that Yun Hanrui had become a legendary figure in the Yan University Department of Biology! At the age of sixteen, Yun Hanrui entered the department with top scores citywide, devoting all her energy to biological research while other university students enjoyed their lives. In just three short years, she had completed all undergraduate and graduate knowledge in the department.
Afterward, she gained admittance to Stanford University in America for a doctoral program in biology and returned home with her degree after two years. That same year, she joined Chaoyang Biotechnology, and within a short span of one year, she got familiar with the entire companyâs operations, taking over as president, primarily in charge of the biology research lab.
That year, she invited her senior from America, Lin Zhijie, to join, and within just two years, Chaoyang Biotechnology saw rapid development!
In the eyes of the students at Yanjing Universityâs Department of Biology, the young Yun Hanrui was already a legend! When they learned that Yun Hanrui was returning to her alma mater to give a lecture today, the biology department went wild with excitement!
When they reached the entrance to the auditorium, Yun Hanrui and Ling Feng got out of the car. Dean Chen appeared with a beaming smile, "Xiao Rui, I thought you were going to stand me up, I couldnât contact you at all yesterday!"
Yun Hanruiâs complexion paled, but she smiled and said, "How could that be? Since I promised the dean, I will naturally keep my word!"
Dean Chen shook hands with Yun Hanrui, then turned to see Ling Feng, "Young man, youâre here too?"
Ling Feng said cheerfully, "I thought Iâd take the chance to tour Yan Universityâs campus, so I shamelessly tagged along!"
Seemingly uninterested in hearing Ling Fengâs voice, Yun Hanrui said, "Dean, shall we go?"
With that, she headed toward the auditorium without giving Ling Feng a second glance. Ling Feng touched his nose; it seemed that the earlier misunderstanding had genuinely upset Yun Hanrui! Yun Hanrui not lashing out at him already felt like a gift from the heavens to Ling Feng!
...
Meanwhile, at the Yanjing Dragon Group Base, a group of people surrounded the Werewolfâs corpse, each wearing a grave expression.
"Zhang Fan, recount the events leading up to this in detail!" a middle-aged man ordered the individual known as Brother Zhang yesterday.
"Yes, Dragon King!" Zhang Fan cleared his throat and went over the events in detail, followed by Chen Ming, who also recounted what he knew.
The Dragon King lifted his eyes and said, "Thatâs the situation, what do you all think we should do?"
A middle-aged man beside the Dragon King spoke up, "Thereâs something peculiar about this incident."
"Qian Bufan, feel free to speak your doubts," the Dragon King prompted.
"This Werewolfâs bloodline isnât pure; clearly, itâs not from the Dark Cathedralâs strain. But according to Chen Ming, this Werewolf had reached A-level peak. Could there be an organization behind this Werewolf that is not inferior to the Dark Cathedral?"
"Thatâs not necessarily the case," interjected another man, "It might well be a Werewolf from the Dark Cathedral. I canât think of any other place where Werewolves would exist besides the Dark Cathedral!"
The Dragon King nodded, "Qin Si also makes a valid point. In short, thereâs something peculiar about this matter. What I didnât expect is that under the Dragon Groupâs watchful eye, such a powerful Werewolf had been lurking. If not for that mysterious personâs intervention, Zhang Fan and Chen Ming might have faced far worse fates."
