Chapter 98 Provocation
When Su Wan returned to her dormitory in a daze, Lin Shuyao had just come out of her dormitory after her lunch break.
The two met in the dormitory corridor.
Lin Shuyao nodded slightly to her and brushed past her when Su Wan suddenly called out to her, "Comrade Shen."
"What's wrong?" Lin Shuyao stopped and turned around.
Su Wan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Shen."
Lin Shuyao was baffled: "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"
Su Wan lowered her gaze for a moment, then looked up at Lin Shuyao. "Actually, I deliberately approached you at first. Living across from your dormitory and working in the same department as you were all arranged by the representative."
Lin Shuyao had already guessed it, but she still raised her eyebrows slightly to show her surprise.
Unexpectedly, Su Wan had a keen eye for observation: "Comrade Shen, you don't seem very surprised."
Lin Shuyao quickly put on her acting skills, raising her eyebrows slightly, widening her eyes, looking confused and bewildered, with a hint of hurt from being distrusted: "I'm surprised, of course I'm surprised! I'm just processing this news. So... why did the representative ask you to deliberately get close to me?"
Su Wan seemed satisfied now, and said hesitantly, "...because he wants me to get information out of you. He wants to know about your biological father."
So Cheng Zheng just wanted to find out this information?!
Lin Shuyao was genuinely surprised.
She had always thought that Cheng Zheng was questioning her identity, and since Su Wan was from the same place as her, he had Su Wan try to get close to her, hoping to find any loopholes through their interaction.
She was on tenterhooks for a while because of this, feeling that she was in danger, and became even more determined to win over the male lead. Little did she know that she had misunderstood.
Strangely, when it comes to the question of who the female lead's biological father is, wouldn't it be faster for Cheng Zheng to simply ask Uncle Cheng? Uncle Cheng clearly knows everything.
What's even stranger is Su Wan. Why didn't she tell her earlier or later? What's the meaning of her coming to confess now?
"Comrade Su, since the representative sent you to approach me, why are you telling me all this now?"
Su Wan shook her head: "Don't misunderstand, Comrade Shen. I didn't mean anything by it. I just think you're a really good person. I don't want to continue this mission anymore, nor do I want to go to great lengths to get close to you. Although I don't know why the representative wants to investigate your biological father, you should still be careful and not let anyone trick you into revealing anything."
Lin Shuyao quickly understood Su Wan's implication: "Are you telling me to be careful of the representative? Is he approaching me with an ulterior motive?"
"Comrade Shen, I didn't say that. It's just that some people are very good at weaving gentle traps. They're nice to you, buy you all sorts of things, take care of you meticulously, and flatter you to the point that you think they're your savior. Who knows what will happen in the end... Anyway, be careful and don't fall into their trap."
Su Wan gave Lin Shuyao a meaningful look, then took out her keys, opened the door, and went back to her dormitory.
Lin Shuyao was completely bewildered by Su Wan's vague reminder.
Could it be that Cheng Zheng has ulterior motives for flirting with her now?
In fact, he had already discovered that she was an imposter Shen Qing, and he approached her only to find a loophole to expose her.
But that's not right either.
Su Wan just said that Cheng Zheng wanted to find out who her biological father was.
According to the female protagonist's diary, her biological father is a man named Zheng Yong. This man is a friend of Uncle Cheng. Cheng Zheng and Uncle Cheng are father and son, so they should also know this Zheng Yong, right?
Why would Cheng Zheng go through all this trouble to inquire?
unless……
Cheng Zheng must not know Zheng Yong's true identity!
Could it be that... Zheng Yong is an unspeakable big shot in this era?
Uncle Cheng holds a high position, and Zheng Yong can still order Uncle Cheng to run errands for him, which means that Zheng Yong must be Uncle Cheng's superior. That makes sense!
Lin Shuyao instantly felt she had figured out the truth.
But then she felt a chill run down her spine.
If, as she guessed, the female lead Shen Qing's father is a big shot, then if she impersonates the female lead now, wouldn't the consequences be even more serious when her identity is exposed?
Logically speaking, if the female supporting character impersonates the female lead to work, she should at most serve a few years in prison. In addition, she took money from the female lead's biological father, so let's add fraud charges to that. It shouldn't be enough to get her shot. But if the female lead's biological father is a big shot, then things will get much worse. It's like kicking a hornet's nest!
Crushing the female supporting character to death is a piece of cake, isn't it?
No wonder the female supporting character in the original book had to be shot.
No, no, Lin Shuyao trembled at the thought of the original book's ending.
She can't repeat the mistakes of the supporting female character!
Let her think about it. Since Cheng Zheng's investigation of her wasn't about suspecting her identity, does that mean she doesn't need to try to win him over? Does she not need to date Cheng Zheng?
If she can save up enough money and run away before the female lead returns, preferably to Hong Kong or abroad, she won't have to worry about being shot. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
So the most urgent thing is to save money as soon as possible, instead of getting entangled with Cheng Zheng!
