#165 - Chapter 165 He realized it!
When the group entered the garage and saw Li Bai leaning against the corner, their pupils dilated, and they quickly bent down, respectfully greeting Li Bai.
"Don't be so restrained, come and sit down." Li Bai amiably patted the spot beside him.
Hearing this, the group hesitantly walked up to Li Bai and, at his request, sat cross-legged on the ground in a proper manner, like monks in a temple.
The rich and handsome man forced a smile and mustered his courage to ask, "Dean Li, why are you here?"
"An old friend invited me to visit him, and I happened to see this truck on the way, so I wanted to see what happened. You don't mind, do you?"
Li Bai turned to look at Chen Shan.
Chen Shan quickly waved his hand, "Not at all, not at all. Where are you going? Would you like me to give you a ride?"
Li Bai shook his head, "No need, this old man likes to walk, and the sun helps me get calcium. Aren't you going to talk about some kind of disaster? Go ahead and talk, I'll listen from the side."
Li Bai reached out his hand and nodded at the group with a smile.
"Um... Teacher Gao, please start from the beginning and tell us what happened on the train." Chen Shan looked at the rich and handsome man.
"Okay, if we're going to start from the beginning, then we have to start from around dawn today..."
In the time that followed, the rich and handsome man recounted everything he had seen in its entirety.
From Li Chenqiu waking him up, to the Dream Calamity and the giant python escaping, Li Chenqiu and him going to chase them, encountering the Dream Calamity's sneak attack, and Li Chenqiu遁入地底 (dun ru di di -遁入 means to escape into, and 地底 means underground, so it means to escape into the underground) to rescue the students.
He spoke in such detail, with meticulous descriptions and appropriate narration, that everyone felt as if they were there, like watching a 4D movie.
"Just then, Li Chenqiu moved. With a 'hiss' sound, the giant python was directly cut in half by Li Chenqiu and fell to the ground helplessly.
Seeing this, Li Chenqiu put away his scythe and laughed loudly: Hahaha, a mere snake dares to be presumptuous in front of me. Who gave you the courage, is it the new world, or...?"
"Wait a minute."
Just as the rich and handsome man was getting into the story, Bai Hong raised his hand to interrupt him.
"What's wrong?" The rich and handsome man looked at Bai Hong in confusion.
Bai Hong asked puzzledly, "Weren't you in a fierce battle with the Dream Calamity at the time? How do you know what happened underground?"
"I asked. Li Chenqiu and the students were with me just now, and I just asked them and found out," the rich and handsome man said sincerely.
He naturally wouldn't tell them that he had made it all up.
"Li Chenqiu..." Li Bai thoughtfully tugged at his beard: "Three points of water, with 秋 (qiu - autumn)?"
"Elder Li, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" The rich and handsome man asked curiously.
Li Bai stroked his chin: "Is this Li Chenqiu the one you recruited from City 11?"
The rich and handsome man was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "It's from City 11."
Li Bai smiled: "I see, no wonder."
When the rich and handsome man saw Li Bai's expression, his eyes lit up instantly, and he became even more convinced of his guess.
Vice Dean Li is from the Li Consortium. After hearing Li Chenqiu's name, he immediately guessed City 11, and then said meaningful words like "I see, no wonder."
Even a fool could see that Li Chenqiu was from the Li Consortium!
In addition, the clever rich and handsome man also deduced some things about Li Chenqiu from Li Bai's reaction.
Regarding Li Chenqiu's identity, most people in the Li Consortium probably don't know, only a small number of people at the top of the consortium know, like Li Bai.
Why hide Li Chenqiu's identity?
There's only one possibility!
The Li Consortium is playing a very big game, and Li Chenqiu is the most crucial piece in this game!
Thinking of this, the corners of the rich and handsome man's mouth curled up, and a light flashed in his eyes, a light called "wisdom."
Why is my IQ so high? I can see through the truth so easily, it's really terrifying!
Apart from the rich and handsome man and Li Bai, the others were like outsiders, looking at the rich and handsome man whose mouth was constantly twitching, and then looking at Li Bai who was lost in thought.
Zhu Lan asked, "What about the Dream Calamity afterwards?"
The rich and handsome man didn't continue, but turned to look at Li Bai and respectfully asked, "Dean Li, can I talk about it?"
Li Bai: (⊙_⊙)?
Li Bai nodded, somewhat inexplicably: "Of course, you can talk about it."
Hearing this, the rich and handsome man felt relieved and began to talk about the Dream Calamity.
"Although the Dream Calamity has the strength of the top seven forbidden, it's still a bit weaker than me. I've been suppressing her all the time, and her defeat was only a matter of time," the rich and handsome man said calmly.
"But just as I was about to eliminate her, she broke through, and the situation on the field changed dramatically. I was knocked down by her."
The rich and handsome man shook his head, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
Bai Hong asked, "You were defeated, how did Li Chenqiu eliminate the Dream Calamity?"
The rich and handsome man glanced at Bai Hong indifferently: "It was indeed Li Chenqiu who eliminated her, because he gave the Dream Calamity the final blow, severely injuring the Dream Calamity..."
The rich and handsome man paused and continued: "There's someone else."
"Someone else?"
The three said in unison, their eyes full of surprise.
Li Bai, who was on the side, was also intrigued by these words and straightened his body.
"Who is that person?" Chen Shan asked eagerly.
The rich and handsome man shook his head.
Bai Hong raised his eyebrows: "What does this mean? You don't know who that person is?"
The rich and handsome man narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously, "Unspeakable, unknowable."
"What does that mean?" Chen Shan scratched his head in confusion.
The rich and handsome man said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I can only tell you that someone helped, as for anything else, I can't say."
Originally, the rich and handsome man intended to reveal that Li Chenqiu had a protector, but after guessing that the Li Consortium intended to hide Li Chenqiu's identity, he dismissed the idea.
Li Bai, this big shot of the Li Consortium, is sitting right here. Wouldn't pointing out that Li Chenqiu has a protector be like running into the muzzle of a gun?
Chen Shan looked at the rich and handsome man unwillingly: "Can't you say anything?"
"I..." The rich and handsome man lowered his head with a troubled expression.
Keeping a secret is a very painful thing, and he doesn't want to keep it, but this matter is too involved, and saying it might cause trouble.
Just as the rich and handsome man was about to refuse the other party, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.
Why did Li Chenqiu tell himself about the existence of the protector without any hesitation, and without even telling himself to keep the secret, or even hinting at it?
Could it be that he wants me to spread this matter?
Thinking of this, the rich and handsome man's eyes lit up instantly, he understood!
"No wonder Li Chenqiu didn't hide anything, no wonder Dean Li asked me to speak directly. It turns out that I have unknowingly entered the Li family's game and become a part of it!"
