chapter 10
“I just have one thing I want to ask you.”
Chen Shu looked at Zhang Li, a bit nervous, so he put on a friendly smile and said, “Do you know me?”
“Uh… Who are you?”
“You really don’t know me?”
Chen Shu asked again for confirmation.
“Sorry, I really don’t.”
Zhang Li shook her head.
“Oh, is that so.”
Seeing Zhang Li’s sincere expression, Chen Shu didn’t press further.
“By the way, are you really 19 years old now?”
Chen Shu suddenly changed the subject.
Zhang Li nodded and replied, “Of course, that’s a boring question.”
Then Zhang Li took out her phone, opened the School’s student information website showing her photo and ID details, and showed it to Chen Shu: “Here, see for yourself! It’s real, I’m 19 this year.”
“Oh, okay.”
Chen Shu took the phone and looked at it carefully twice before handing it back to her.
Chen Shu’s mind was suddenly filled with question marks.
He started to wonder if his own memory was faulty.
Did he write it wrong at the time?
But no matter how wrong, it couldn’t be the wrong person, right? Was her face fake? Replaced? Or did she have plastic surgery?
But how could an ID card be fake?
What is all this!
The more Chen Shu thought about it, the more confused he became.
“What’s wrong with you?” Zhang Li noticed that Chen Shu seemed a bit off.
“N-nothing.”
Chen Shu quickly waved his hand, looking at Zhang Li’s face.
Chen Shu thought to himself that the murderer “Chen Shu” had made a fake “Chen Shu” to frame him.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. If he wasn’t a bit clever, he’d be sewing in prison now, or maybe even shot in the head.
Curious, he stared at Zhang Li’s face and reached out directly.
Chen Shu’s hand reached toward Zhang Li’s
face.
Zhang Li stared at Chen Shu in shock, but didn’t dodge.
Chen Shu pinched Zhang Li’s cheeks and shook them side to side.
He voiced his doubts.
“Is your face real?”
“You haven’t had any work done, right?”
“Your face… is pretty soft.”
“Hmm?”
Zhang Li immediately got angry after hearing this, grabbed Chen Shu’s arm and pulled it back, while raising her leg to kick Chen Shu in the stomach.
Chen Shu instantly realized he’d done something stupid and tried to dodge.
A soccer ball flew straight at his head, hitting him and knocking him to the ground, where he groaned in pain.
The soccer ball bounced off to the side.
Zhang Li took the chance to stomp hard on Chen Shu’s stomach a few times, cursing as she kicked, “Bastard! How dare you mess with me! I’ll chop you up!”
At that moment, Chen Shu felt dizzy and in agony, unable to care about anything else, only begging for mercy, “Oww~~”
“Hey, don’t get me wrong! I just thought you looked a bit like a friend.”
Chen Shu explained, “So I couldn’t help but test it out.”
“Hmph! Who knows!”
Zhang Li snorted coldly.
Then a group of boys gathered around. One of them shouted, “Zhang Li! Nice kick!”
Zhang Li glanced at the boy, then smiled at him, “Thanks, Liu Hai.”
“No problem. I just heard someone was looking for you, then saw this guy, and he was harassing you in broad daylight. That’s way out of line!”
Liu Hai walked over and picked up the soccer ball from the ground.
The other male students joined in.
“Pervert! Touching girls!”
“Touching girls from our School!”
“Hit him! Hit him!”
Chen Shu listened to the jeers and insults from the crowd, feeling extremely wronged and helpless.
He glanced at the classmates around him-each one was over 1.8 meters tall, muscular, with broad shoulders and sturdy frames.
“It’s over, I’m really in trouble this time…”
Chen Shu muttered to himself, sensing things were going badly.
At that moment, Zhang Li stepped forward and looked at Chen Shu, who was lying on the ground clutching his stomach.
“Just now, you said I look like one of your friends?”
Zhang Li gazed into Chen Shu’s eyes and asked.
“Uh… yeah… you look exactly alike.”
Chen Shu slowly got up from the ground, rubbed his stomach, and replied to Zhang Li.
Zhang Li listened, then smiled gently at Chen Shu.
“Really exactly alike?”
Her voice carried a hint of sweetness and tenderness.
Chen Shu was stumped by Zhang Li’s question.
He answered with certainty.
“Yes, exactly alike! I can guarantee it!”
Zhang Li heard this, smiled broadly at Chen Shu, and said,
“Alright! Since we’re exactly alike, tell me, what’s your relationship with her?”
Chen Shu was stunned.
What was going on?
He couldn’t help but look at the classmates around him.
Seeing Chen Shu look at them, the classmates all showed gloating expressions, no longer the angry faces from earlier.
Chen Shu was speechless. What on earth was happening in this world?
It shouldn’t be like this!
Why did Zhang Li suddenly change her attitude?
Chen Shu was completely baffled.
But right now, he couldn’t afford to think about such absurd questions.
He looked at Zhang Li, hesitated for a while, and finally said, “Well, we’re just ordinary friends.”
Just then, a few classmates hurriedly ran from the Football Field and then over to the Dormitory.
“Did you hear? Someone died on the Back Mountain,” one classmate ran over and said.
Hearing someone mention death, Zhang Li and the other classmates, who had been ready to watch the drama, immediately stopped.
“Who died?” Liu Hai, who had kicked the football at Chen Shu earlier, quickly asked.
“I think it’s a girl named Zhang Lili! I just heard about it when I passed by.”
“Oh right, I think it’s her sister who died.”
This classmate pointed at Zhang Li and spoke to his companions.
Hearing that it was her sister who died, a gentle and dignified face with a ponytail, smiling softly at Chen Shu, flashed before his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
“My sister is dead.”
Zhang Li murmured.
Then tears began to stream down Zhang Li’s face uncontrollably.
Chen Shu whispered,
“Zhang Li, Zhang Li?”
“Which Li?”
The classmate turned to Chen Shu: “Lili as in chestnut! They’re twin sisters!”
Chen Shu suddenly understood the reason for Zhang Li’s sudden change in attitude.
“Zhang Li, don’t cry. My condolences. Don’t be afraid, we’ll go with you.”
Liu Hai comforted Zhang Li from the side.
“I need to go see my sister first.”
Zhang Li shook her head, wiped away her tears, forced herself to stay calm, and ran toward the Back Mountain of the School.
Then, within less than a minute, the group of classmates rushed toward the Back Mountain.
Chen Shu slowly shuffled after them, rubbing his stomach.
“Damn, my stomach really likes getting kicked. If it happens again, my guts will be kicked out.”
Chen Shu grumbled inwardly, then hurried to catch up with Zhang Li and the others.
Meanwhile, on the Football Field, two men stood at a distance, watching Chen Shu.
These two were members of the Criminal Investigation Team, sent by the police to keep track of Chen Shu.
They also heard the news, their expressions changed, and they immediately took out their phones to make a call, then ran toward the Back Mountain of the School.
