The Sickly Villain Only Wants to Survive

29

The situation of finding someone to help clarify things wasn't as smooth as Xia Yang had expected.

Due to his impulsive school transfer, many people in City A became aware of the conflict between him and his father.

Those capable of helping him were unwilling to intervene because of his father's "instructions."

Some of his acquaintances, fearing the risk, dared not assist him.

No one knew the real background of the people targeting the milk tea shop. If they tried to clarify but failed, they might be accused of colluding with the shop that sold milk tea laced with poppies, ruining their future!

While Xia Yang was troubled, someone proactively reached out to him.

It was someone who had spoken to him at a party, claiming they could help find someone.

With someone offering assistance, and being an acquaintance, Xia Yang accepted without much thought.

However, two days passed, and there was still no news.

On the other side, Zhu Tong also waited for two days.

Still no word.

What was going on?

Was his cousin reliable or not?

Zhu Tong was working on his homework, occasionally glancing at his phone.

Cheng Chen sent him a message.

Cheng Family's Silly Boy: Your classmate is no ordinary person.

Zhu Tong: ???

He replied with a question mark.

Cheng Family's Silly Boy: I had someone look into it. The person behind that Xiao Mi is quite deeply hidden. What kind of person did your classmate offend?

Zhu Tong: ......

If even his cousin said the person was deeply hidden, it certainly wasn't an ordinary individual.

How did Shao Ming get involved with such a formidable figure?

Zhu Tong asked the system in his head, "Has Xia Yang recently run into anyone?"

The system replied, "Based on available data, no."

"..."

In any case, Shao Ming wouldn't actively seek trouble—it must have been another case of getting caught up in something unwittingly.

His desk mate, who seemed to always be in one unfortunate situation after another.

Zhu Tong sighed and asked his cousin again.

Zhu Tong: Can it be handled?

Cheng Family's Silly Boy: What do you mean, can it be handled? Don't you have at least this much faith in your cousin?

Zhu Tong: ...

Cheng Family's Silly Boy: Just wait.

So, Zhu Tong continued waiting.

But instead of his cousin's "handling" of things, he got the announcement for the class's deep cleaning day.

"This school-wide deep cleaning is organized for all classes. In addition to our own classroom and the designated areas of the teaching building, the path beside the cafeteria is also within our class's cleaning zone."

Standing at the podium, Shi Wenshu spoke in his usual gentle tone. "Right after the deep cleaning, we'll have the monthly exams. The school arranged this to give you a better exam environment, and there will be scoring checks. I hope everyone takes this seriously."
