Seizing Dreams [B1]

Ch 68.2 - The Key

Chen Yekai walked out quickly from the room. The three of them looked at one another. Chen Yekai said, "Liang Laoshi's better now."

Zhou Sheng motioned for him to go back, and to allow him to handle the situation from here. Chen Yekai nodded. Yu Hao sat down on the sofa, Zhou Sheng went to open the door with a glass of wine in hand. The moment the door was opened, Lin Xun's face was an extremely spectacular sight.

"Yo, Professor Lin." Zhou Sheng raised his glass at him, "I wish you good health!"

Lin Xun immediately regained his composure and said in a low voice, "It's you, Zhou Sheng."

Zhou Sheng let Lin Xun in, then closed and locked the door.

Lin Xun only needed to see the wine glasses and ashtray on the coffee table to guess what had happened. He shouted, "Jinmin!"

No reply. Lin Xun wanted to go in, but Zhou Sheng said, "Don't be in such a rush to go in, let's have a chat bei. I haven't apologized to you yet."

Yu Hao asked, "Professor Lin, what drink do you want?"

"I won't trouble you guys." Lin Xun said coldly, "Looks like Liang Laoshi's Academic Salon had just ended, and you've learnt quite a bit too. Do you want a continuation? I brought water, what do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk about how you panicked and dashed like a madman for thirty miles that day." Zhou Sheng looked slightly drunk as he smiled, "When the next college sports meet is held, Lin Laoshi must sign up for the Teacher's Team ah, you ran so damn fast!"

"It's a human's natural instinct to protect themselves in times of crisis, that's very normal." Lin Xun didn't betray the slightest hint of guilt as he calmly responded.

Yu Hao said, "Is that still the case even after we're certain that we've committed a crime, and are trying to evade the legal consequences of our actions?"

"I admit to breaking the law." Lin Xun said in earnest, "I couldn't withstand the temptation of money. Now, Laoshi has repented, After you enter the workforce, you must bear this in mind and not follow my path."

This wasn't Yu Hao's first time having a conversation with Lin Xun face-to-face. Previously, he had been on the verge of choking from his anger at Lin Xun, and it wasn't any better this time. They were so close to finding the evidence, yet they had missed their opportunity.

"You're very poor ba, Yu Hao." Lin Xun said, "I've seen your file. It's already hard on you to be poor, but your sexual orientation isn't normal either. Isn't that a very painful thing?"

Yu Hao took a deep breath. He knew that Lin Xun was trying to provoke him, but Zhou Sheng glanced at Yu Hao and said to Lin Xun, "So minorities are abnormal? Then what about me? What's my evaluation?"

"You're from a pretty good family." Lin Xun smiled mockingly, "It's once said, 'children of the poor walk about in the streets with their disheveled hair and dirty faces; children of the rich walk around their homes, barbaric and pampered. After they grow up, they all walk around society deliriously, just like their fathers, or even worse off'. In this regard, Lu Xun described it quite accurately."

Zhou Sheng sat on the single-person sofa that Liang Jinmin had sat on just now. He lit a cigarette and said, "Do Lin Laoshi's Academic Salons always discuss that kind of topic?"

"Yes." Lin Xun said, "I'm a realistic person, different from your Liang Laoshi. She likes Romanticism, tragedy, the classical school of thought, and she likes brainwashing your Chen Laoshi too. He's so indoctrinated that he doesn't even remember who he was anymore."

Zhou Sheng was thinking about how to confront Lin Xun when Yu Hao suddenly said, "You're not the first, Lin Laoshi."

"Oh?" Lin Xun said, "First what?"
