Chapter 313 - 313: Master, Am I Good?
On the night before attending the public lecture, Qin Wan had a task to complete. She returned home at four in the morning and came to class at nine. Feeling a bit tired, she ended up dozing off with her head on the desk, planning to listen to the recording later when she got back. Little did she know, Dr. North asked her to wake up and answer a question. Her response was all over the place, leading to some laughter. However, Qin Wan was easygoing and didn’t let this incident bother her.
Nevertheless, Dr. North wore a cold expression and told non-medical students not to occupy the resources of medical school students. This was a thinly veiled criticism. Qin Wan, with her youthful appearance and a strong temper, promptly closed her textbook, vowing never to attend Dr. North’s class again. She had no intention of being treated like a dog!
Students at A University were generally good at studying, and taking a couple of extra courses was not an issue. It was normal to audit classes taught by other professors.
Professor Lin at A University was young and handsome, still single. Female students flocked to his classes, and there was no record of him driving students away. Therefore, Qin Wan did not like him at all.
To be clear, she didn’t engage in slander, but she chose to stay away from his courses. There were plenty of professors at the medical school, and she wasn’t limited to just one.
“Respect your teachers!”
Qin Wan responded with a perplexed look.
After the escape of Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi, they had no time to consider the woman and her children next door. However, from surveillance footage, it was clear that the woman next door was not to be underestimated. Her husband was clearly brutal, yet she seemed unwilling to divorce him. She managed to live outside with her children, indicating that she had her own means of survival.
After she reported the incident and her husband berated her, he broke into her house. Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi had already left. The police station was just a five-minute walk away, and they arrived quickly, apprehending everyone involved. The husband came up with a cunning plan, accusing Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi, his next-door neighbors, of being involved with illegal activities and threatening his wife and children. The police took them away for questioning, and soon another group of people arrived, showing them photos to identify the culprits. The photos were of Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi.
This group had impure motives, and Dr. North was their target after Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi had left.
Qin Wan said, “The first group has already arrived. With the internal chaos, it’s hard to distinguish friend from foe. If 1 were your enemy, 1 would definitely spread the news. No matter who finds you first, they can follow the trail and lower your guard. Why would Dr. North come to investigate in person? Something’s fishy here, Master. She has betrayed you once; a traitor will do it again.”
“Do you know why she betrayed me?”
“Who cares about a traitor’s reasons,” Little Cherry replied indifferently. “Betrayal is betrayal.”
Jiang Junlin chuckled and reached out to pat her head, showing an unusual touch of brotherly tenderness. Ji Chi, who had been lying there with his eyes closed, looked at Jiang Junlin with hostility.
He had a deep antipathy towards this sudden arrival of a young girl. Her feelings toward him were equally strong. He endured it for the sake of Third Master.
And now, Qin Wan had appeared!
Good. Very good.
Jiang Junlin seemed to recall something and withdrew his hand. He glanced at Ji Chi, who was still asleep, and breathed a sigh of relief. He needed to distance himself from Qin Wan a bit to avoid another outburst from Ji Chi!
“Have you checked Dr. North’s background?”
“I have,” Qin Wan replied. “Should 1 feel sorry for her?”
“She’s an orphan, grew up in an orphanage, then got adopted and abandoned again. Later, she was taken in by Chen Geng. She had no choice but to follow his lead. Freedom is more important to her than life itself. Besides, she has her own ties and doesn’t want to be controlled forever,” Jiang Junlin explained, his brows furrowed. He knew what it felt like to have someone exploit your vulnerabilities. No matter who it was, if they dared to do that for their own gain, he would consider ending them.
“What if she betrays you again?”
“I’ll kill her!” Jiang Junlin said firmly. “I’ll give her only one chance.”
“What about him?” Qin Wan turned and pointed at the sleeping Ji Chi. “He torments you. Why don’t you kill him? If it were someone else, they might have died ten times over.”
“It’s different,” Jiang Junlin said softly.
“Oh…” Qin Wan replied sarcastically, “Because he can serve you well?”
Jiang Junlin patted her head, “Nonsense!”
“Master, a handsome young man like him, you could easily find plenty in the entertainment industry who could sing, play music, pamper you, and be obedient. You could have your own harem, full of admirers, and loyal followers. Why bother keeping a snake around that bites you from time to time?” Qin Wan teased like a saleswoman. “Master, there are plenty of them in college, intelligent and accomplished. Hasn’t he never been to school? An illiterate person with a Ph.D.? What can you even talk about? There’s no mental connection.”
Ji Chi seethed with anger, the gun within arm’s reach.
He wished he could pick it up and shoot Qin Wan right now. What did she mean by an illiterate person with a Ph.D.? He might not have attended school for a day, but what he needed to learn, he mastered. What had he not learned?
“Watch the surveillance footage carefully and stop the nonsense,” Ji Chi seethed, his hair practically standing on end. “Brother, why aren’t you saying anything to counter her?”
Why?!!
Jiang Junlin turned to look at Ji Chi, his lips curling slightly. “You’re right. Wild children don’t understand manners, and they have a tendency to go berserk at the drop of a hat. It can be quite annoying. I prefer well-behaved children.”
Qin Wan laughed softly, her demeanor both gentle and youthful. “Master, am I well-behaved?”
Jiang Junlin used silent gestures to reply, “Don’t provoke him.”
Qin Wan covered her mouth, laughing lightly, and used gestures to reply to Jiang Junlin, “You’re biased!”
In the surveillance footage, when Dr. North left, Qin Wan couldn’t help but comment, “In the darkness of night, amid the snowstorm, she’s wrapped in red. That’s incredibly conspicuous.”
Dr. North, dressed in a bright red coat, stood out against the snowy backdrop.
“When she betrayed me years ago, she was also wearing the same style of coat. It’s a silent pledge. She won’t make the same mistake twice. Besides herself, she trusts no one in the team. Loyalty and treachery are hard to distinguish,” Jiang Junlin said in a cold tone, his eyes fixed on the list in his hand. He had crossed out a large portion of that list.
“Master, should I contact her?” Qin Wan inquired.
“No need,” Jiang Junlin furrowed his brows. “There’s one thing 1 haven’t figured out yet.”
Qin Wan fell silent, but after some contemplation, she couldn’t help but bring up the matter of Ji Chi. “Why does Ji Chi insist on following us? This is a dangerous path, and it’s none of his business. If he’s worried about your safety, now that I’m here, he can rest assured. Let him go; he’s handicapped and slowing us down.”
“You can forget about that!” Ji Chi couldn’t hold back any longer. He had been awakened by the pain from his wound. Originally, he intended to endure it and pretend to be asleep, but he didn’t expect Qin Wan to suggest getting rid of him..
