Lu Yuanyuan said two key things at the ti: Sheng Tang, you are Young Master Gu’s girlfriend; Sheng Tang, you are very impressive.
It seed like she wanted to tell Sheng Tang: you are rich and powerful, you are smart, so you can help with my predicant.
If she was seeking help, why didn’t she give Sheng Tang a mont to react?
Sheng Tang was still looking at the notes.
She went over them from the beginning again and finally noticed sothing strange.
Lu Yuanyuan used two Old English words in the example sentences.
The college entrance exam requires modern English; otherwise, you lose points.
Lu Yuanyuan, like Gu Shiting, was a top student who could score full marks in English. Everything she did was for the exams, so it was impossible for her to make such a mistake.
"Ting, there’s sothing wrong here." Sheng Tang knew that Gu Shiting’s English was more solid than hers. "Look at this sentence..."
Gu Shiting ca over to take a look.
He saw it imdiately.
"This word is no longer used. It’s the Old English word for ’lock’. Today, we use this word." Gu Shiting casually wrote a word on a nearby sheet of paper.
Then he said confidently, "This sentence was taken from a book."
"Do you know which book?"
Gu Shiting shook his head, "I might not have read it."
Sheng Tang continued searching.
Eventually, Sheng Tang decided to use the computer to search all the sentences in Lu Yuanyuan’s notebook.
The task was imnse because her notebook was thick and contained many sentences and words.
Sheng Tang spent the entire afternoon on it and continued after dinner.
A little past ten in the evening, Gu Shiting wanted to remind her to go to bed, but he saw her still staring at the computer screen.
"Wait..." Gu Shiting suddenly pressed down on a page of the notes.
He read through several sentences on that page.
Although they were separate example sentences, he read them together: "Tangtang, this seems to be from the sa person’s writing style. There is Old English here; it doesn’t seem to be written by that girl herself.
So, these sentences might all be taken from the sa place. Try entering all the sentences to see if you can find anything."
Sheng Tang agreed.
She did input them.
Still, nothing ca up.
She even used a VPN to access foreign websites, but she couldn’t find any relevant content.
Gu Shiting took her notes and said, "I’ll ask Song Chen to find soone, preferably a translator, to see if anyone knows. You should go to bed now."
Sheng Tang agreed.
The weekend passed quickly. On Monday, she took Gu Shiting’s car to school; she didn’t need to get off a stop early.
All the classmates were already in the classroom.
Lu Yuanyuan’s seat and desk had been moved away. The floor was cleaned, leaving no trace, just an empty spot.
The classmates sitting in front and behind her, and those next to her, had all moved their desks back a bit on their own.
"Let’s switch classrooms. Who can focus on studying here?" Bai Shaolin’s voice was sharp. "Does the school want us all to drop out?"
Sheng Tang couldn’t stand her attitude.
Most of the other classmates, unwilling to argue, remained silent.
Sheng Tang stood up, "You can drop out; no one is forcing you."
Bai Shaolin: "..."
She shut her mouth angrily, not daring to argue with Sheng Tang.
In the whole class, only Sheng Tang could handle her.
This week, another classmate transferred out, making it five who had left.
Other classmates, not having seen Lu Yuanyuan’s body and with the bloodstains cleaned up, weren’t as squeamish.
Besides, they were all energetic teenagers who neither believed in nor feared ghosts.
It was uncomfortable, but most felt it was too dramatic to transfer schools because of it.
