313: Chapter 313 Listening to the Revenge Plan
Zhang Xiaofu took a good while to react before spitting out a single word.
"Huh?"
"If you can't figure it out, then don't."
Lin Xiao gently patted Zhang Xiaofu on the shoulder. "Don't be too hard on yourself."
Zhang Xiaofu's brain had actually caught up, but he just hadn't expected that such a maneuver was even possible!
While secretly feeling pleased that the tables had turned, he also marveled at how impressive this man was.
Then, he began to continue browsing the School Forum.
He wanted to see if there were any other interesting posts so he could continue getting gossip from Lin Xiao's side.
Suddenly, he spotted a post.
In the short ten minutes since it was posted, it had already been pushed to the top of the trending topics.
The title was also extremely explosive!
"Female Ghost Spotted in the Faculty Dormitory!"
Zhang Xiaofu's eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed Lin Xiao's arm. "Quick, Brother Lin, this is a huge piece of gossip!"
Lin Xiao also saw the post.
It basically said that a few nights ago, the original poster saw a woman hanging on the balcony of a certain faculty dormitory, as if she were about to commit suicide.
It scared him so much at the time that he immediately brought security guards over to save her.
But when they went upstairs, they discovered that a male teacher lived in that dormitory.
And there was no one else in the dormitory.
There was certainly no woman hanging on the balcony.
After this incident spread, it sparked a series of speculations.
Many people believed that a female teacher must have died in that dormitory.
Now she had turned into a female ghost, hanging on the balcony from time to time.
Lin Xiao felt that ghost and supernatural stories in this school were always popping up, and most of them were just misunderstandings.
This time was likely no different.
He casually flipped through the replies below, wanting to see if anyone had debunked the original poster.
But to his surprise, not only did no one debunk it this time, but many people were actually chiming in to agree.
They all claimed that they had seen the "ghost" too!
"It seems this is a bit interesting."
Lin Xiao supported his forehead with one hand and smiled faintly.
Zhang Xiaofu quickly asked, "Brother Lin, do you know what's going on?"
"Don't ask. Sometimes, you still have to leave some dignity for the people involved."
Lin Xiao didn't intend to say too much.
In this school, a teacher's dignity was very important.
If some things were made too clear, it would have a bad impact.
But the less he said, the more anxious Zhang Xiaofu became.
"Brother Lin, just tell me, I'll treat you to a big meal!"
"Another street food stall?"
Lin Xiao didn't even look up.
"How is that possible! It's a real big meal!"
Zhang Xiaofu emphasized, "The kind that costs over a thousand per person!"
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment.
It wasn't that he was craving the meal, but based on his understanding of Zhang Xiaofu, if this kind of thing wasn't thoroughly cleared up, he was afraid he would keep pestering him.
"Then you have to promise not to go around talking about it."
"I promise! I'll bet my life on it!"
Zhang Xiaofu looked very serious.
"Alright then."
Lin Xiao nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he explained, "That so-called female ghost is actually just a piece of clothing."
Zhang Xiaofu had long pricked up his ears, prepared to enjoy the gossip, but he hadn't expected just this one sentence.
Seeing that there was no follow-up after waiting for a long time, he looked blank again.
"Huh?"
"Huh what? I told you, remember the big meal!"
Lin Xiao smiled teasingly.
This was practically a scam, right?
Zhang Xiaofu almost wanted to call the police!
The big meal didn't matter; the point was the gossip!
Just as he was thinking about how to pry more words out of Lin Xiao's mouth, he suddenly heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.
[What female ghost? Where are there so many ghosts in this world?]
[Sigh, saying it's clothes isn't really lying; it's more or less the same thing anyway!]
[It's just that the male teacher bought an inflatable doll online, felt it was a bit dirty after using it a few times, and took it to wash it himself.]
[After washing it, he hung it on the balcony, and someone just happened to see it.]
[Hearing someone coming to look, he immediately took it in so as not to be discovered.]
...
Hearing Lin Xiao's inner voice, Zhang Xiaofu was even more speechless.
That's it?
What kind of gossip is this!
Zhang Xiaofu instantly lost interest.
It seems the School Forum is destined to remain just the School Forum.
It's only used for confessions or complaining about teachers; there won't be any explosive gossip at all.
So boring!
Zhang Xiaofu laid back down again, his whole person wilting.
At this moment, he saw another post.
The title only had two big characters: "Revenge!"
This made Zhang Xiaofu, who had just wilted, instantly perk up again!
"This is interesting, this must be interesting!"
"..."
Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly.
If he had known, he wouldn't have let Zhang Xiaofu come to keep him company; look at how bored the kid is.
Zhang Xiaofu clicked on the post and read it silently.
"My name is Xiaoya, born into the Song family of Hai City. I am the true daughter of a wealthy family, but I was swapped by a nanny at birth and wandered outside for over ten years. When I was found by my parents, that fake daughter had already captured their hearts..."
"Eh?"
Zhang Xiaofu read up to here and suddenly looked up. "Brother Lin, isn't this similar to your experience!"
Lin Xiao shook his head silently and said nothing.
Zhang Xiaofu continued reading, "Under the schemes of the vicious fake daughter, I was abandoned by my scumbag fiancé and sent abroad by my parents to wander for three years... This time, I have returned to the country intending to take revenge! Friends who are interested can add my WeChat to listen to my revenge plan!"
Lin Xiao chuckled, "This is obviously just..."
"She's just a pitiful yet tenacious girl! I must listen to how she plans to take her revenge!"
Zhang Xiaofu instantly perked up.
Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Xiaofu, his eyes full of astonishment.
He really couldn't believe it.
Zhang Xiaofu was a university student, after all, and his family was in business; how could he be fooled by such a low-level scam!
He really didn't want to watch this fool get scammed, so Lin Xiao couldn't help but kindly remind him, "Xiao Fu, be careful. After you add her, she'll definitely ask you to V her fifty, and besides, today is Thursday..."
"No way, I have a gut feeling that this must be a very outstanding girl!"
Zhang Xiaofu was very certain of his guess. "Besides, her situation is the same as yours. I believe she is just as capable as you are now."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
To think he was being compared to a scammer...
"Xiao Fu, I really thank you for your trust."
