Chapter 81: The Little Lackey in the Aristocratic School (Part 30)

Chi Wan pursed her lips slightly, never imagining that one day she would be disliked because of the scent on her body.

Chi Wan stood up and stared fixedly at Shen Ke for a moment before saying to Lu Yanbai, “It’s time to go. We can’t disappear for too long.”

Lu Yanbai furrowed her brows in annoyance. “Little Wan, can you cover for me? I want to stay here and keep Shen Ke company a bit longer.”

Chi Wan didn’t respond to Lu Yanbai. She wasn’t an idiot. If she really left Lu Yanbai alone with Shen Ke, Shen Ke would probably get eaten up and wiped clean.

Why should she give Lu Yanbai space for that?

Chi Wan expressionlessly took out a pill and held it in front of Shen Ke. “Eat it.”

Shen Ke scrunched up her face and shook her head vigorously. “I don’t want to.” Taking the pill would make her fall asleep, and it was a little bitter too. She didn’t want to eat it at all.

Lu Yanbai took the pill from Chi Wan’s hand and chuckled softly. “Shen Ke, you have to take this. Otherwise, I’ll have to feed it to you like last time.”

Lu Yanbai put the pill in her own mouth, then pressed down on Shen Ke’s shoulders, leaned in close, and brought her lips to Shen Ke’s. She used her tongue to pry open Shen Ke’s lips and pushed the pill deep inside.

The pill wasn’t big. It dissolved in her mouth after just a moment, forcing Shen Ke to swallow it.

Chi Wan watched from the side, her palms clenched tightly into fists. After about three minutes, she walked behind Lu Yanbai, grabbed her hair, and yanked her away from Shen Ke. “Enough. It’s time to go.”

The ungentle motion made Lu Yanbai laugh. “Little Wan, your jealousy is really strong.”

Chi Wan lowered her gaze, released Lu Yanbai’s long hair, and looked at Shen Ke’s moist lips. In a cold voice, she said, “Next time, if she doesn’t want to take the medicine, just forget it.”

“She can’t run anyway. It doesn’t matter if she’s awake.”

Chi Wan’s words made Shen Ke nod. Her lips were still vividly red from the kiss. She frowned unhappily and accused Lu Yanbai. “Now I think Chi Wan is way better than you!”

“I told you I didn’t want that pill.” The medicine took effect quickly. Before long, Shen Ke started feeling sleepy.

Lu Yanbai smoothed her hair, then stood up and gently caressed Shen Ke’s cheek. “Alright, then I won’t use feeding you medicine as an excuse anymore. I just wanted to kiss you directly.”

Chi Wan suddenly grabbed Lu Yanbai’s wrist and dragged her toward the door.

Her grip was so strong it felt like she wanted to crush Lu Yanbai’s hand bones.

Lu Yanbai smiled brightly at Shen Ke and waved. “Shen Ke, Little Wan and I are heading out first. I’ll come back when I have time.”

Shen Ke’s whole body felt soft, and her consciousness gradually blurred. “W-Wait—” She needed to find Qi Yuan!

The door closed, leaving Shen Ke alone in the room once more.

Shen Ke viciously grabbed the water glass from the bedside table and hurled it at the door.

“Bang!” The glass shattered into pieces on the floor.

It pissed her off! Shen Ke bit her lower lip, but in the end, she couldn’t resist the effects of the medicine and fell asleep.

Leigh found Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was clutching someone’s arm at that moment, her expression dazed as she kept repeating, “Have you seen Shen Ke?”

The person whose arm she was gripping finally lost patience and shook her off, roaring, “Are you stupid? I told you, I haven’t seen her!”

Even after being cursed at, Qi Yuan’s expression didn’t change. Her eyes were empty, her demeanor numb.

Leigh walked over with a smile and stood in front of Qi Yuan. “Heh, how ridiculous.”

Qi Yuan looked at Leigh in a daze and asked hoarsely, “Have you seen Shen Ke?”

Leigh stared into Qi Yuan’s pupils, her lips curving high. Then she suddenly kicked Qi Yuan hard in the stomach. “Have you gone crazy? Then let me see if I can cure your illness.”

It hurt—a lot. Qi Yuan’s body trembled from the pain, but when she opened her mouth, she only said one thing.

“Have you seen Shen Ke?”

“Stand up.” Leigh grabbed Qi Yuan’s collar and hauled her up from the ground.

Looking at Qi Yuan’s unfocused pupils, Leigh smashed a fist into her stomach.

“Stupid bastard, what are you running from?”

The intense pain from her abdomen made Qi Yuan grunt. Her lips were dry and cracked, her face pale with a deathly pallor.

“As expected, you’re trash? It’s only been a few days, and you’ve turned into this disgusting state.”

“Why don’t trash like you have any self-awareness? Why do you have to get involved?”

Qi Yuan’s expression was numb and lifeless. No matter what Leigh said or did, she didn’t resist at all. Her attitude, like a dead person, made Leigh find it amusing.

She pinned Qi Yuan against the wall and punched her in the stomach again before letting go, allowing Qi Yuan to slide down to the floor.

Qi Yuan lay on the ground with no reaction, just staring blankly ahead.

Leigh’s mood was extremely irritable. Qi Yuan was the last one, but as those people said, she had gone mad.

She wouldn’t resist or speak—like a puppet.

What a bunch of trash!

“Shen Ke goes missing, and you just play crazy and dumb like you don’t know.”

Leigh stood in front of Qi Yuan, her green eyes cold like a snake’s.

What a waste of time.

This stupid bastard had no clues on her.

Leigh kicked Qi Yuan hard, her expression menacing. “You should be glad I don’t have time to play with you more.” With that, Leigh turned and left. She still had to keep searching.

Every extra minute meant Shen Ke might face more danger.

Qi Yuan lay on the ground until long after Leigh had left. Only then did she slowly turn her dry eyes and curl up her body.

She was just a poor student.

No moment had ever made Qi Yuan realize more clearly that she was nothing.

She had searched the entire school over and over, from day to night, for a day, two days. She hadn’t slept a wink, her body and mind stretched to the extreme.

The moment she closed her eyes, she could almost see Shen Ke turned into a bloody mess.

But she realized that besides searching the school, she had no way to know if Shen Ke was anywhere else.

Even if she went out, she had no target.

So she could only wait helplessly in the school for news from the police.

Helplessness and torment wrapped around her completely. For a moment, she wanted to escape this reality.

Escape Shen Ke’s disappearance, escape her own incompetence.

The suffocating sensation wrapped around her like thorns.

The spikes pierced into her skin, organs, bones, and blood.

Someone like her shouldn’t be around Shen Ke.

[Protagonist Mental Breakdown Value: 90%]

Si Minglan pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her laptop. It had been a whole week, and she hadn’t found any clues about Shen Ke.

Such a living person couldn’t just vanish without reason.

She had reviewed the school’s surveillance footage over and over, but there was no sign of Shen Ke.

The people she sent out had turned the entire city upside down.

Nothing useful turned up.

Although Shen Ke wasn’t her biological daughter, they had lived together for so many years. She was going to such lengths not for anyone else, but simply because she wanted Shen Ke safe and sound.

Si Minglan closed her eyes wearily. At that moment, the door suddenly burst open, and a panicked shout came from the doorway. “Boss! The Eldest Miss—she ran away!”

Si Minglan shot to her feet. “How?!”

The reporter was sweating profusely. “She escaped through the window!”

Si Minglan suddenly felt the world go black before her eyes.

A few days ago, after Si Qing learned of Shen Ke’s disappearance, she had fainted. When she woke, she started vomiting blood.

She had even knelt before Si Minglan and begged her.

Si Minglan knew how much Si Qing valued Shen Ke, but how could she let Si Qing go searching in that frail body? So she had stationed even more people at the door.

She never expected Si Qing to escape through the window—with such a weak body.

Si Minglan hoarsely ordered, “Go to Noah Academy, and send people to guard all the usual spots. Bring the young miss back.” As a mother, she knew her child well. Si Qing would definitely start searching from the school.

At that moment, Si Qing had already taken a taxi to Noah Academy.

Her face was pale to an extreme degree, as if a gust of wind could scatter her.

She should start from the school.

Those people hadn’t found her because they were too useless.

If she searched herself, she would definitely find her.

Qi Yuan walked unsteadily. It had been a week, and she still hadn’t found Shen Ke. Looking at the person in front of her, Qi Yuan’s vision seemed to double.

When she came back to herself, Qi Yuan saw clearly—it was Chi Wan.

Chi Wan spotted her and furrowed her brows slightly. Qi Yuan asked in a daze, “Have you seen Shen Ke?”

Chi Wan’s face showed no expression. She didn’t respond to Qi Yuan and brushed past her, walking forward.

Qi Yuan’s eyes suddenly widened. She stiffly turned her head to stare at Chi Wan’s back. Her numb expression twisted. She smelled it—the scent on that person. It was the smell belonging to Shen Ke.

She had been intimate with Shen Ke many times and was all too familiar with her scent.

So it was her?

If it really was her, what could she do? Qi Yuan’s emotions suddenly cooled. Even if it was that person hiding Shen Ke, what methods did she have?

She had no evidence. Could she just rely on her word to get the police to arrest her?

Qi Yuan’s mind raced. No, there were others.

Si Qing, Leigh. She didn’t want to tell those two, but right now, Shen Ke was more important. She had no ability, so she could only rely on those who did.

Qi Yuan started running, shouting Si Qing and Leigh’s names across the school.

But her body was utterly exhausted. She couldn’t speak loudly or run too much.

She hadn’t gone far before her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground. Her hands scraped and bled.

Qi Yuan blanked for a moment, as if not understanding why she had fallen. But less than a minute later, she stood up again and continued.

With messy hair and filthy clothes, Qi Yuan looked no different from a madwoman at that moment.

Perhaps she was somewhat lucky after all. In the end, Qi Yuan found Leigh.

Leigh saw Qi Yuan and laughed. Then she pulled out a gun and pressed it to Qi Yuan’s forehead.

“I heard you’re looking for me? Not crazy anymore? Or do you want me to kill you?”

Qi Yuan wasn’t afraid. Instead, she leaned in closer, pressing her forehead firmly against the cold gun barrel. The look in her eyes was manic and obsessive.

“I know where Shen Ke is. Follow Chi Wan—”

Leigh grinned and pulled the trigger. “Bang!” A round little ball shot out the back of the gun and hit Qi Yuan’s forehead.

Qi Yuan didn’t even blink.

Leigh burst into laughter, seeming extremely pleased, but she quickly restrained her smile, put away the gun, and turned her back to Qi Yuan. “If it’s fake, you’ll face a real gun next time.” She wouldn’t allow anyone to toy with her using such information.

But if it really was Chi Wan, then there had to be someone helping her—Lu Yanbai. She needed to find a helper too.

Si Qing.

She could let these Z Country people fight it out, then take Baby and leave for her homeland.

“You seem to have gained a little weight.” Lu Yanbai pinched Shen Ke’s soft white cheek with a grin.

Shen Ke angrily swatted Lu Yanbai’s hand away. “Annoying! Don’t touch me!” She ate and slept all day every day—how could she not gain weight?!

Lu Yanbai wasn’t upset. She fetched a tablet for Shen Ke. It had no networking capabilities but could play pre-downloaded single-player games.

“Are you bored? Play this.”

Shen Ke wasn’t some good-tempered person. Being locked up like this, what she needed wasn’t being pampered with good food and rest. She needed to get out.

Shen Ke bit her lower lip, took the tablet, and smashed it against Lu Yanbai’s forehead.

In an instant, Lu Yanbai’s forehead was cut open, blood flowing steadily from the wound.

Shen Ke sneered, crossed her arms, and leaned arrogantly against the headboard. “I told you I want to go out!”

“Do you people not understand human speech?”

Lu Yanbai touched the wound. Shen Ke had clearly used real force.

Lu Yanbai furrowed her brows slightly, wiped the blood from her cheek with a tissue, and curved her fox eyes. “Shen Ke, if hitting me makes you happy, then go ahead.”

Shen Ke was about to pass out from anger. She simply got out of bed and pinned Lu Yanbai to the floor.

Her face flushed red, she gnashed her teeth. “Are you a masochist? No matter how I hit you, you don’t get mad!”

“I’m not hitting you! I’m going to bully you! Torture you hard!” With that, Shen Ke unleashed a frenzy of bites on Lu Yanbai’s face.

Lu Yanbai lay on the ground without resisting at all.

She even let out pleasurable gasps when Shen Ke bit her neck.

Shen Ke was so angry she lost all reason. She tore open Lu Yanbai’s clothes and bit her wildly again.

Lu Yanbai narrowed her eyes, enjoying it to the utmost, a seductive flush blooming on her face.

“Shen Ke, are you going to eat me?”

Shen Ke didn’t speak. She just kept biting Lu Yanbai like a little dog.

Gradually, Shen Ke’s movements grew lighter. Lu Yanbai spread her legs and slowly ground against Shen Ke. “Want to? I won’t resist.”

Lu Yanbai waited for Shen Ke’s answer. She even took Shen Ke’s fingers into her mouth and licked them gently.

But Lu Yanbai didn’t get an answer from Shen Ke. Instead, she got Shen Ke’s tears.

Lu Yanbai’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at Shen Ke. Shen Ke had her head lowered, tears falling one by one onto Lu Yanbai’s chest.

It was as if they seeped through skin and flesh, landing right in her heart and burning it with a bitter ache.

Shen Ke said lowly, “Lu Yanbai, I want to go out.”

Lu Yanbai restrained her smile, her expression turning helpless. She reached out to cup Shen Ke’s cheeks and said softly, “Just wait a little longer.”

Shen Ke bit her lower lip and gripped Lu Yanbai’s neck. Though her actions were bullying, her voice—heavy with nasal tones—made people involuntarily feel pity for her.

“I want to go out now!”

Chi Wan opened the door and saw Shen Ke pinning Lu Yanbai down. Lu Yanbai’s shirt hung wide open, and Shen Ke’s hands gripped her neck.

Chi Wan walked closer and looked down at Shen Ke. “Your temper is getting worse and worse.” Then she reached out, picked Shen Ke up, and said, “Your face is stained with blood. Time to wash up.”
