My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 120

Shi Li's words sent everyone's minds into overdrive.

What did she mean?

Wasn't Second Young Master Fu's girlfriend supposed to be a human trafficker? How did Sun Shouli suddenly get involved?

Shi Li seemed to be implying that Sun Shouli had sent someone to infiltrate Second Young Master Fu's inner circle. But what was Sun Shouli's aim? Was he after Second Young Master Fu's healthy organs, despite him being only in his twenties?

Or was this part of some grand scheme, planting a mole early on? Perhaps the plan was to have this woman whisper sweet nothings in Second Young Master Fu's ear once he became the Fu family's decision-maker, fostering cooperation between the two parties or achieving some other objective.

But something still didn't add up.

This woman was a human trafficker.

Did Sun Shouli know she was a human trafficker?

And what was Sun Shouli's purpose in sending his subordinate to Second Young Master Fu? These were questions everyone struggled to understand.

Regardless of the exact motive, everyone agreed it couldn't be anything good.

If one's intentions were pure, why resort to such underhanded tactics?

Everyone had heard Second Young Master Fu introduce Sun Shouli as Mr. Fu's good brother.

They recalled how not long ago, Xu Xing's Wife had emotionally told Song Ying: "Your mother is my best friend."

Everyone couldn't help but feel that the terms "best friend" and "good brother" had never been so abused since their inception!

Classmates: We might need to be on high alert for a long time whenever someone claims to be our "best friend."

Sun Shouli, in his fifties, had a scholarly appearance. He wore elegant gold-rimmed glasses, his hair meticulously combed back, and a crisp black suit that fit him perfectly.

His appearance belied his age; he looked more like he was in his forties.

While not strikingly handsome, Sun Shouli made up for it with his exceptional demeanor and style.

Recently, a brief clip of Sun Shouli in a company meeting had gone viral. In just five seconds of footage, he had gained countless fans, with many netizens clamoring to bear his children.

Age was no obstacle; money could smooth over any hurdle.

With wealth as his trump card, even his age became an asset.

Sun Shouli had become the real-life version of the "mature man" archetype popular in web novels. Due to his immense online popularity, his company's stock prices had skyrocketed.

As Second Young Master Fu continued chatting with Sun Shouli, Bai Qianqian maintained a graceful smile, playing the role of the perfect supportive partner.

Sun Shouli inquired about Second Young Master Fu's studies and future plans.

Meanwhile, Shi Li, like a cat catching the scent of fish, exclaimed, "Aaah! They just exchanged glances! I knew their relationship wasn't just superior and subordinate. There must be something going on between them!"

Classmates: Wait, who are you saying has something going on? Is it what we think it is?

Are you implying that Second Young Master Fu's girlfriend isn't just a human trafficker and corporate spy, but she's also... she's also... she's also given Second Young Master Fu a green hat to wear? [Translator's note: "Wearing a green hat" is a Chinese expression meaning being cheated on]

Just how explosive can this situation get?

Everyone tried to control their gaze, attempting not to look back and forth between Sun Shouli and Bai Qianqian too obviously.

As a fellow member of the Fu family and their classmate, Fu Huixing could also hear this explosive gossip. He received looks of either sympathy or admiration from everyone.

Fu Huixing cast a somewhat pitying glance at his unfortunate cousin. After all, when you're already covered in lice, what's one more itch? After being involved with a corporate spy and a human trafficker, having Bai Qianqian give him a green hat wasn't that big of a deal.

The last time he had been the focus of so many stares was when he received a banner of appreciation from Shi Li.

A qualified spectator of drama should have proper etiquette and not let the subjects of the drama realize they're being watched.

"They exchanged glances again, and even shared a smile!"

"When will this big fool Second Young Master Fu finally realize what's going on?"

Well, they did say he was a big fool, so of course he wouldn't realize.

Bai Qianqian and Sun Shouli were mindful of the crowded banquet hall and the presence of Second Young Master Fu. Although he was a big fool, he was still a living person right in front of them.

So the two only communicated through eye contact, without any other small gestures that might reveal their secret.

However, this lack of action was disappointing for the drama-hungry onlookers. "Boring. But when they sneak off to the bathroom together later, should I go and spy on them?"

Classmates: !! Is this even something you need to hesitate about?

Of course you shouldn't hesitate! Go watch, seize the moment, seize your youth!

Considering that an entire class squeezing into a bathroom was not just a matter of hygiene but also highly unethical!

We'd likely be beaten up for being perverts.

Shi Li thought about it and quickly dismissed the idea. "Let's forget about it. Sun Shouli is a ruthless man who carries illegal items and has countless lives on his hands."

"Curiosity killed the cat. We shouldn't risk our lives just to satisfy our curiosity."

The classmates had lost count of how many times they had strategically scratched their heads today.

So, Sun Shouli was playing such a dangerous game.

If that's the case, it's better not to get involved in this drama.

After all, nothing is more important than preserving one's life.

Some classmates whose families had business dealings with Sun Shouli's company were already considering warning their families to terminate the cooperation.

Yes, not only should they end the cooperation, but they should also keep a mile away from Sun Shouli and never meet him alone.

Under the barely noticeable gaze of nearly thirty people, Second Young Master Fu finished his small talk with Sun Shouli and moved on to the next acquaintance with his girlfriend.

The following events became less interesting, and Shi Li withdrew her gaze with slight disappointment.

Other classmates didn't give up. Although they couldn't follow them to the bathroom to eavesdrop, they believed that if they paid close attention, they could find more clues.

This was the thought process of Shi Li's stubborn classmates.

While everyone was closely observing Bai Qianqian, Shi Li left her spot, and naturally, Song Ying followed her closely.

So, wherever Shi Li went, she had a little shadow trailing behind her.

The reason Shi Li left her position was that she saw Feng Yunhe walking towards her. To avoid having to act in front of so many people, Shi Li chose to escape.

Finding a quiet spot with fewer people, hidden behind layers of silhouettes, Shi Li could no longer see Feng Yunhe and finally felt safe.

It was only then that she noticed Song Ying had been following her from the very beginning, all the way to their current location.

Earlier, in her haste to escape, she hadn't even noticed Song Ying behind her.

Song Ying smiled softly at Shi Li, "Big sister, what are we doing here?"

Shi Li was momentarily at a loss for words. How should she explain this? She vaguely said, "I'm bringing you here to broaden your horizons."

Song Ying always believed what Shi Li said. When Shi Li said she was broadening her horizons, Song Ying didn't find it strange at all.

After Shi Li handed her a small cream cake, Song Ying instantly forgot her previous question.

Song Ying immersed herself in the world of delicious food, and Shi Li looked at her with satisfaction. She really was just a child, forgetting everything with just a piece of cake.

Originally, only Shi Li and Song Ying were in the corner. Shi Li held a glass of warm water, taking a sip from time to time, while Song Ying was engrossed in eating her small cake.

If humans could grow tails, Song Ying would definitely be wagging hers furiously as she enjoyed the delicious cake.

Shi Li seemed to hear someone mentioning familiar names in their conversation. She moved a couple of steps towards the source of the sound to hear more clearly.

Song Ying, who had been focused on her cake, noticed the empty space beside her. She looked up to see where Shi Li had gone, then moved two steps to the left, making sure Shi Li was still by her side before feeling at ease.

Shi Li took out her phone, pretending to be browsing the internet, while her ears were practically glued to the mouths of two staff members.

These two seemed to be employees from Little Fatty's Uncle's company, attending the charity gala solely to fulfill their work duties.

Shi Li overheard the two of them gossiping about their bosses and superiors.

One of the female employees said mysteriously, "Did you see? Our General Huang introduced Master Yuanjing to King Yama Liu."
