Chapter 105 Diao Qirong (ETL) Part 2

Chapter 105 I’m not afraid of real villains, I’m afraid of hypocrites
When Gu Ye came back within 2 minutes of going out, Zhao Pengyu asked with concern, “What’s the situation?”
Gu Ye laughed, “Why are you so gossipy? You are not in this line of work, don’t ask.”
“Aren’t I worried about you?”
“Don’t worry, I will introduce my ‘friends’ to you when I have time. With them around, I feel I am invincible.”
Zhao Pengyu was immediately interested, “Okay.”
Xia Xiang said seriously, “Believe me, you don’t want to see it.”
Gu Ye said seriously, “He wants to.”
Zhao Pengyu nodded, “Yes, I do.”
Xia Xiang looked at Zhao Pengyu with sympathy1, and felt that he couldn’t be saved anymore.
The three of them came to Teacher Yu’s ward. After getting the illness, Teacher Yu looked several years older. Seeing that the students came to see him, Teacher Yu wanted to sit up happily, but was stopped by Gu Ye, “Just lie down, it will be more comfortable.”
When Teacher Yu saw the three of them holding things, he immediately frowned, “Why are you still bringing things to me? You are still students and have no ability to make money. I don’t need you to buy anything, just take it back.”
Xia Xiang explained with a smile, “We didn’t buy expensive things. This is all our own money. Participating in the competition will not only get a trophy, but also a scholarship.”
Zhao Pengyu echoed on the side, “Yes, it’s our heartfelt gift, just accept it.”
Teacher Yu lay down helplessly. Everyone is smiling and the atmosphere is nice, so he couldn’t do anything about them (and the gifts).
Xia Xiang asked concernedly, “Teacher, where’s your teacher’s? She’s not here?”
“Oh, she went to get my medical report,” Teacher Yu said with guilt, “She’s so old, it’s hard for her.”
“Where are your son and daughter? Didn’t they come?”
“They all are working. My illness is not serious, so I didn’t tell them.”
Teacher Yu has been teaching Gu Ye since the first year of high school and has been teaching him until the third year of high school. This is also the last batch of students before his retirement, so he teaches them with all his heart and soul. Teacher Yu has provided guidance and affirmation to these students at the most important stage of their lives, so this group of students still respects and cares about their teacher.
[Banana: A side note here about the education stages in China. To be honest, Banana never really checks in detail regarding China’s education matters because I thought all countries have about the same stages or similar. How wrong was I lol. Apparently, there are only 3 years in high school and it’s not mandatory yo]
Zhao Pengyu said worriedly, “Teacher’s wife can’t handle all these alone. If it’s too much, just hire a caretaker.”
“No need, I have a student who is a doctor here.” Speaking of this student, Teacher Yu looked relieved, “In my life, the most proud thing is you students, each one is more promising than the other.”
Just when Teacher Yu said this, someone came to check on the ward, and the one walking in front was Diao Qirong, who Gu Ye and the others saw in the hall.
Seeing Gu Ye and the others, Diao Qirong was also a little confused. Teacher Yu introduced them happily, “I was just talking about you. This is your senior brother. He is many years older than you. And these three are my last batch of students. They are all top students of the Capital University. This one was the national champion in science last year.”
Diao Qirong smiled and said, “I know you. Your name is Gu Ye, right? Nice to meet you.”
Gu Ye curled his lips, “Hello, senior brother.”
Although Gu Ye had a smile on his face, Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang, who were familiar with him, saw the difference. Gu Ye’s expression was clearly a fake smile. He was just giving Teacher Yu a face in front of him. If it were a normal interaction, he might just turn around and leave.
Diao Qirong didn’t notice Gu Ye’s indifference and seemed to be quite interested in him. “You knew that Teacher was ill and you came to visit him, which shows that you are a grateful student. It’s rare that you study so well and have such a good heart. It’s rare to see such excellent people.”
College students like Gu Ye would have been flattered by such praise. But Gu Ye’s mouth curled up, and his expression was already impatient.
Xia Xiang raised his eyebrows and immediately took over the topic, “Senior brother is too polite. This is the duty of a student. Teacher Yu just praised you and said that you take good care of him. Senior brother will have to work hard in the next few days.”
Diao Qirong smiled and said, “It’s my responsibility to do so.”
Teacher Yu looked at them and said happily, “You are all good kids. When your senior brother was your age, he sometimes couldn’t even afford to eat. He achieved what he has today through his own efforts. You should all learn from your senior brother and learn this positive and tenacious spirit.”
Hearing that, Diao Qirong’s expression stilled, and then he smiled, “Teacher, you are joking. The starting point of junior brothers is higher than mine, and their future will definitely be better than mine.”
Squinting his eyes, Gu Ye smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother.”
Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang looked at each other. They were both sure that they were not imagining it. This Diao Qirong had the intention of currying favor with Gu Ye. From the fact that he knows Gu Ye’s name, it can be seen that he also knows Gu Ye’s background. This senior brother doesn’t seem to be like this on the surface.
After a few more simple chats, Xia Xiang saw that Diao Qirong kept looking for topics to talk to Gu Ye, and Gu Ye’s expression became more and more impatient. He was afraid that Gu Ye could not hold back and would tell Diao Qirong’s fortune in front of Teacher Yu, which would make the other party completely miserable. He and Zhao Pengyu looked at each other, said a few polite words, and took Gu Ye away.
After leaving the door, Xia Xiang said firmly, “This senior brother’s heart is not the same as his appearance.”
Zhao Pengyu smiled, “Why don’t you just say that he is a hypocrite who is inconsistent with his appearance? What’s the point of saying it so elegantly?”
Xia Xiang asked disdainfully, “Can you be more civilized? And you can see it too?”
Gu Ye smiled. Zhao Pengyu actually understood life better than anyone else2. He only had the question of whether he wanted to do it, not whether he could do it. Although he was young and straightforward, and was not as thoughtful as Xia Xiang, he was born with one more nerve than others3, and he was more talented than others in some aspects.
The three of them walked to the gate. The young man who was sent out by the security guards was gone. Xia Xiang frowned and asked, “Will that man be in danger?”
“I don’t see any danger to his life for now, but this matter is a bit complicated. He is also entangled with resentment. Only when the matter comes can we see his fate.”
Zhao Pengyu asked in a low voice, “Is his girlfriend really killed by Diao Qirong? What do you see?”
Gu Ye raised his hand and flicked Zhao Pengyu on the forehead.
“Why are you asking so many questions? Go back and study hard. Xia Xiang and I decided to apply for the sophomore graduation exam in advance and try to skip a grade during the Chinese New Year. If our grades are good in the future, the school may directly guarantee us a master’s degree. Do you want to just sit at school by yourselves for the rest of the year?”
A world-renowned university like Capital University is amazing like that. If students have the ability and dare to challenge them, they will give you a chance. If you can skip grades, they will send you up. If you can meet the standards for the graduation certificate in your freshman year, they will dare to give you a graduation certificate. As long as you are a genius, they will provide you with a stage. If others are not convinced by the result, they can either do the same or shut their mouth.
Zhao Pengyu’s breath was choked, “You two… are studying secretly again!”
Gu Ye and Xia Xiang both sneered. It was obvious that Zhao Pengyu went out to play during the summer vacation and did not study at all.
The three returned to the vicinity of the school and found a restaurant to eat at. Zhao Pengyu did not make a fuss about staying out late this time and wanted to go home to study.
Xia Xiang returned Gu Ye’s door card to him, “Be careful.”
Gu Ye smiled, “Don’t worry, I cherish my life more than anyone else now.”
Hearing that, Xia Xiang left with peace of mind. Gu Ye entered the house and found that the house had been cleaned up. All the non-humans were in their respective positions. Gu Ye sat on the sofa and got into a comfortable position to lie down. When Ling Ling floated over, he caught her in his arms and praised with a smile, “My daughter is getting more and more spiritual.”
Ling Ling took the fruit plate cut by Hong Dou and fed it to Gu Ye with a fork. With pride on her little face, she answered, “Dad taught me well.”
Gu Ye was amused. This flattering skill must have been learned from him.
Just after eating a few bites of fruit, Gu Ye’s phone rang. Ling Ling quickly brought it to Gu Ye, “It’s that rising star.”
Gu Ye took a look and saw that it was Du Jianuo. After he answered the call, he asked jokingly, “The big star finally has time to call me?”
Every time Gu Ye called him a big star, Du Jianuo felt embarrassed. Without Gu Ye, he wouldn’t be where he is today. All the predictions Gu Ye made came true today, one year later. He became a popular idol. He could now choose any role that he couldn’t get before. The directors who replaced him at will before now begged him to cooperate, and his former agent was indeed not even worthy of carrying his shoes now.
Every time he thought of the despair of looking up at the sky in the park that night, and then thought about every word Gu Ye said to him, he felt that only by working hard and making himself better could he live up to Gu Ye’s kindness. As time went by, his gratitude towards Gu Ye grew deeper and deeper, but he had nothing to repay Gu Ye. Hearing Gu Ye’s voice, Du Jianuo blushed and couldn’t help but feel his heart beating faster. “Master Gu, are you free these two days? I’ve finished filming and will take a week off. I think… I’ve prepared the money for fortune-telling and want to send it to you.”
When Gu Ye heard that the money was ready, he sat up happily, “I should have something to deal with these two days. Just give me an address and I’ll find you. It’s not convenient for you to go out now. If you’re photographed, it will be up in the hot search again.”
Gu Ye looked at the address sent and happily raised Ling Ling high, “Girl, Dad’s investment is going to pay off! We have money now. Dad will buy you clothes! Buy you a lot of beautiful little clothes!”
Ling Ling clapped her hands, “I want the same clothes as my brother.”
“Okay!” Gu Ye immediately turned on the computer and found the clothing store where he had always made orders before. He picked the most expensive ones and bought them. Everyone in the family had clothes to wear, even Dahei, who was sleeping on the windowsill, had a pair of red shorts made to order. The rich are just so willful!
At 10.00 pm, Gu Ye was about to go to bed when he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number, “Hello, is this Master Gu? We met in the hospital this afternoon.”
“You are the young man who made trouble in the hospital, right? I am Gu Ye.”
“Master Gu, I’m at your door.” The other party spoke weakly. Since he drank so much at noon, it was already good enough that he could sober up now.
Gu Ye asked Ling Ling to open the door and bring the other party in. Seeing such a beautiful little doll running on the ground, it looked a little weird. The young man was stunned and hesitated for a while before following in.
Gu Ye sat on the sofa and pointed in a direction with his chin, “You guys, have a seat.”
The young man was stunned, “You guys?”
[Banana: Sorry to break immersion, but just a short explanation about that. Gu Ye said 你们. The word 你 means you, while 们 is a plural marker. And the young man repeated the plural marker 们, which doesn’t mean anything by itself. English doesn’t have the same thing, hence this explanation. So yeah, the young man unknowingly brought ‘someone’ else with him.]
Gu Ye only smiled and asked, “Tell me, why did you go to the hospital to make trouble?”
“My name is He Bin. I dreamed that my deceased girlfriend came to me in a dream these two days. She said that her cousin, the attending doctor Diao Qirong, killed her.” He Bin said this with an ugly face, “I drank alcohol, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. So, I went there while my brain was hot with anger.”
Gu Ye nodded, “Can you tell me why your girlfriend went to the hospital?”
He Bin covered his face in pain, “We came back at this time to plan to get married, and her parents agreed. We had a car accident on the way to get the marriage certificate. I sent her to the nearest hospital. After her parents knew about it, they asked her cousin to perform surgery. During the operation, her liver ruptured.”
He Bin choked and said, “Xiao Ya has Rh-negative blood, which is the legendary panda blood. There was not so much blood in the blood bank at that time, so… she couldn’t be saved.”
Gu Ye took the water that Hong Dou handed over and placed it in front of He Bin. He waited until the other person calmed down before asking, “Is your girlfriend’s cousin Diao Qirong?”
“Yes, he seems to be the child of Xiao Ya’s father’s aunt. He is very famous and is often invited to give lectures at medical schools and see patients in major hospitals. Xiao Ya’s parents trust him very much.”
Gu Ye nodded and glanced at the girl who followed He Bin with a dull look in her eyes. There was a large amount of blood on her stomach, but she seemed to have no feeling about that. She just followed He Bin subconsciously, muttering something in her mouth. Gu Ye was far away and couldn’t hear clearly.
Gu Ye asked He Bin, “What did your girlfriend say to you? I want to hear her original words.”
“She said that her cousin killed her and she didn’t want to die.” He Bin collapsed and covered his face. He didn’t want to cry, but he couldn’t suppress it. His face turned red. “Master Gu, you said you can see ghosts. Can you call her out and let me see her again?”
Gu Ye sighed, “When it’s time for you to see her, I will let you see her.” Standing up, Gu Ye pretended to take something and walked to the girl to listen to her muttering.
“I can’t die, he’s waiting for me, I can’t die, he’s waiting for me, I can’t die…”
Gu Ye took a deep breath. The girl was able to stay with He Bin because of this obsession. Normally, for a ghost to have such a weak consciousness, the body must be incomplete. Gu Ye winked at Hong Dou to hint to her so that she could flip the girl’s clothes and take a look underneath.
Turning back, Gu Ye asked, “Didn’t you notice something wrong with your girlfriend’s death?”
“I… I was too stunned by the news at that time, and her parents were mentally broken. I stayed with them the whole time. I didn’t think much about it at the time. It wasn’t until I dreamed of her twice that I began to wonder. Why did her liver suddenly rupture when her injury was not that serious? Did she really come to me in a dream? Is there really an injustice?”
Gu Ye said regretfully, “The body is gone, so all the evidence is gone. Young man, you have to pay me for my work. I will help you find out the cause of your girlfriend’s death, and will let you see her in the end. But you have to give me 60,000 yuan.”
“I’ll give it to you.” This price is just within his affordable range.
Gu Ye and He Bin exchanged WeChat so that they can contact each other at any time. After sending each other away, Hong Dou said with an unpleasant expression, “The girl’s stomach is empty, and all her organs have been removed.”
Gu Ye’s expression sank, “So, she didn’t die of natural causes, she was murdered.”
