Chapter 997 - Something Terrible Had Happened

997 Something Terrible Had Happened
Take for instance the probability of calling a different person each time to answer a question in a big class like this was quite high.
Under such circumstances, the probability of calling upon Qiao Nan to answer the question was as high as fifty percent.
Actually, everyone wanted to avoid being called upon to answer questions. But the interesting thing was, whenever Qiao Nan was called by the professors, she would get the question correct and the professors were very satisfied with her answers.
Many professors felt that Qiao Nan was a good student who was very serious in classes and paid attention to the lessons. They thought that the reason why the principal thought highly of her and wanted the professors to pay more attention to her studies was that she was smart and studious.
They never managed to clear up the misunderstanding.
School had started for half a semester. Qiao Nan was the student that all the teachers wanted to call to answer questions. Other students also regarded her as a good classmate.
After all, as long as Qiao Nan was around, there was a higher probability that she would be called to answer a question as compared to other students.
It was hard to find such a good classmate in China.
Qiao Nan never thought of becoming a famous star on campus. However, without her knowing, she had become fairly well-known in Peking University.
Qiao Nan could not help but sneeze. It was December. Qiao Nan caught a slight cold because of the drizzle yesterday. Her voice had turned hoarse.
Seeing that she had yet to recover from her cold, Qiao Nan gulped down lots of water so as to recover quickly.
Qiao Nan glanced at the box in the living room that was full of letters. She could not help but sigh.
Wei De is really determined.

Since the start of the summer break until now, Wei De had not given up sending letters to Zhai Hua in the past half a year.
Sister Zhai Hua never met up with Wei De, talked to him, or contacted him during the past six months.
Despite being ignored by Zhai Hua, Wei De still persisted in writing her letters and sending photos to her for half a year. As a woman, Qiao Nan had to admit that Wei De was not totally without any positive traits.
Could it be that her sixth sense was wrong and Wei De was serious about Sister Zhai Hua?
It was such a pity that despite having true feelings for Sister Zhai Hua, Wei De had other hidden agendas as well.
Qiao Nan was in a difficult position as to what to do with the box of letters.
In his letters to Sister Zhai Hua, Wei De only talked about three topics: him missing Zhai Hua, Wei Wei being very adorable and sensible, and when Zhai Hua intended to go back and contact him, implying that he would never give up on her.
These were the only three topics that he talked about in his letters. Even though Qiao Nan was careful and sensitive, she was not able to spot any flaws in his letters.
The letters were written by Wei De to Zhai Hua. It could fill up an entire box. It was inconvenient for Qiao Nan to keep them. She wondered if she should call Zhai Hua to ask her what she intended to do with the letters.
Unfortunately, it was not common to send things through courier these days. Otherwise, she could send the letters to Zhai Hua by courier.
While Qiao Nan was pondering about the letters, the phone at her house rang.
Hello, I am Qiao Nan.


Qiao Nan, it’s me.


Sister Zhai Hua!
Speak of the devil.
Sister Zhai Hua…


Qiao Nan, burn all those letters and photos for me and throw them away!


…
Sister Zhai Hua broached the topic of the letters before she had a chance to talk about it.
There was something odd about Zhai Hua’s tone. Qiao Nan asked lightly,
Sister Zhai Hua, what’s wrong?


I feel like killing someone!
The voice from the other side of the phone was ominous and stifling. It made her very uncomfortable.
Qiao Nan’s heart skipped a beat.
Sister Zhai Hua, stop scaring me. This is a lawful society. If you kill someone, you have to pay a life for a life. It’s not worth it. You must remember that your own life is more important than anyone else’s life. What is wrong? Do you want to talk about it?

She had known Zhai Hua for a very long time. Regardless of whether she was happy or angry, she had never spoken of killing someone in that tone of hers. Qiao Nan knew that she was serious about it and she had the intention of doing it.
Since she knew her well, she was particularly worried and scared.
Something terrible must have happened to Sister Zhai Hua for her to have such radical thoughts.
Zhai Hua was overcome by rage and had lost her senses. She broke into tears at Qiao Nan’s gentle words of comfort.
Thereafter, she burst into loud sobs.
Even though she was on the other end of the phone, Qiao Nan could tell that Zhai Hua must be heartbroken and had given up all hopes.
For a moment, Qiao Nan opened her mouth but no words came out. She held the phone to her ear and listened to Zhai Hua’s heart-wrenching sobs on the other end of the phone.

I… I am so stupid. He lied to me. I hate him to the core. I want him dead!
Since a young age, nobody dared to deceive her or bully her.
She always thought that Wei De could give her the love that she could not get from her family. She thought that in this world, he was the one person most suited for her, that he treated her best.
But it turned out that she was wrong. She was terribly wrong.
Everyone could tell the truth except for her.
Qiao Nan was worried sick.
Did the entire information end up with you?!

Qiao Nan remembered that she asked Zhai Sheng to get someone to investigate Wei De three months ago.
A season had passed, but this matter had to be taken slowly. Qiao Nan was not in a hurry to know the results. She did not hurry Zhai Sheng but waited for the person that he hired to get to the bottom of the matter. She would not allow Wei De to hide anything from Zhai Hua and she would not accuse him of anything as well.
Since she wanted to investigate Wei De, she had to make sure that she was fair and objective. She would not be subjective or mix truths with lies.
Qiao Nan might not be anxious. However, she did not expect that the information would be handed to Zhai Hua directly.
This was taboo and could result in serious trouble.
Right now, something serious had indeed happened.
If the results of the investigation were not something that Zhai Hua could accept, there would be two possible scenarios when Zhai Hua saw the results.
One of the scenarios was that she refused to believe the results.
Zhai Hua would feel that the results were fabricated so that she would break up with Wei De.
The other scenario was exactly like how Zhai Hua behaved right now— she lost her sanity and acted irrationally, having radical thoughts.
Qiao Nan rubbed her stomach. Why did the person that Brother Zhai hired turn out to be such a greenhorn? He did not even know such basic rules.
It was alright if he did not know.
Brother Zhai ordered him to do the investigation. After completing the investigation, he should have reported to Brother Zhai right away and handed the results to him.
