March 1st,
In the dining room, Ming waited for Su Meng, as always accompanied by Wang Chang. Meng walked downstairs with sleepy eyes, wearing his school uniform, a school bag slung over his shoulders.
Meng placed his bag on the chair beside him and sat down at the table across from Ming. As soon as he sat, the maid brought a bowl of porridge, placed it in front of him, and left gracefully without looking back.
A few minutes later, Su Meng wiped his mouth and stood up, making his way towards the living room. The maid followed, carrying Su Meng's bag. He sat next to Ming, who was sitting opposite Qian and Jiao. Ming glanced at Jiao and stated,
"Mom, I was planning on staying in the dorm room. Since there were only 100 days left for the college entrance exam."
Jiao raised her head and looked at Meng, who was sitting next to Ming, but didn't answer Ming. Sensing Jiao's gaze, Meng replied nonchalantly.
"i am good with it"
Smiling Jiao stated
"Okay, then you guys can move in tomorrow since it's the weekend."
"okay, understood"
In grade 12 class 1,
Su Meng entered the classroom, noting that only half the students were present. He made his way to the back row. Meanwhile, Zhao Xu, who saw Su Meng walking in, waved his hand while calling out for him.
"Good Morning Lord Meng you are here"
Su Meng raised his head to see Zhao Xu waving. Smiling, Su Meng greeted him back.
"Good morning, why are you the only one here where is Chen Xue"
Seeing the empty desk beside Zhao Xu, Su Meng's curiosity was piqued.
"Oh, he stays in the dorm, so he'll be here soon. It's close by."
Zhao Xu replied with a hint of dissatisfaction
"i see, aren't you going to stay in dorm"
Seeing the situation become somber, Su Meng changed the topic, asking:
"I will bring my luggage on the weekend"
"you too"
Pointing to Su Meng's words, Zhao Xu questioned:
"You too that means you are staying in the dorm too"
Recognizing he had blurted it out, Su Meng confirmed his words.
"Yes i am moving in tomorrow"
"Really i am too"
Lin Jianguo who was listening to the conversation chimed in saying
"Me too let's do it together"
"i am okay with that"
Seeing the enthusiasm in their eyes, Meng expressed that it would be fun to do it together.
"ring"
As soon as the bell rang, the students dispersed back to their seats. Liu Jing walked in, making her way to the podium. She placed her books on the desk, then turned towards the board, saying:
"Let's review the first-year syllabus; there will be a proficiency exam by the end of this month."
Jing, the English teacher of class 1, pointed out common student errors and shared simple strategies to improve exam performance.
The end of class brought a sense of calm to the campus, making it feel more peaceful and settled. As the final bell rang, students quickly rushed towards the exits, with some heading straight for the dormitory canteen.
At the narrow alley beside the school, Gu Won and his ruffians sat on piles of wooden boxes. Opposite them, Ai Bo and her girlfriends, dressed in boyish attire, stood, their gazes lingering between Gu Won and his followers.
Unable to bear Ai Bo and her friends' scrutiny, Gu Won spoke, breaking the silence with a hint of annoyance.
"What do you want"
the slightly pulp girl standing next to Ai Bo spoke with sarcastic tone
"I heard you got beaten by Su Meng"
Gu Won's face turned red with anger. Since primary school, no one had ever laid hands on him, and some had even knelt, begging to be his lackeys. He recalled the humiliation Su Meng and Ming Boston had inflicted upon him in front of his own followers. With a hint of resignation, Gu Won replied:
"It's none of your business"
AI Bo Chuckled and walked forward saying
"How can you bear such a humiliation all by yourself"
Gu Won retorted with a hint of inpatients
"What do you mean by that"
"Well, what i mean to say you is that i can help you get revenge"
"We can't fight him, and if word gets out, it will be even more humiliating. I've used every family connection to find out about his background, but I can't find out where he lives."
Upon hearing to Gu Wons words Ai Bo scoffed internally thinking
*Of course you can't find anything since he was the only heir of the illustrious Su family; your family is nothing but dust in their eyes.* After that day, Cui Hai Bo never called or texted her and even blocked her number. She tried to contact Cao Hui to get back at Meng, who said he would exert pressure on the school after the National Holiday.
But after the National Holiday, she contacted Cao Hui to inquire, only to find he had been arrested for embezzlement, and he even blocked her number. Since then, she contacted several rich individuals with whom she had shared a bed. At first, they agreed to help her, but once they found out it was the Su family of the Jiaqi Group, they all blocked her number.
"That's why i came up with a better plan were we can keep our hand clean as wall as get our revenge"
"Is it really possible"
"of course"
"If that's the case i will do my utmost to assist you"
"Listen, according to my observations over the past few months, I've discovered that Meng's only weakness is his brother, Ming. I found out he had a crush on a girl named Zhang Jing Yi. I followed her and gathered some evidence of her working as a hostess at the bar down the street, earning money by accompanying old and greasy customers. All we have to do next was..."
As Ai Bo discusses her plan, everyone looked at her with awe. Once Ai Bo completed explaining, Gu Won couldn't keep calm and stood up with excitement, exclaiming:
"Ahhhhhh, it was amazing finally i can get my revenge"
"Then it's settled"
In the Su family residence,
Su Qian and Jiao were sitting in the living room, opposite to them sat a man in his 40s sipping tea. It was none other than Xu Fei, Jiao's cousin. Placing his teacup on the table, he looked at Jiao, who was looking at Fei Fei with a hint of curiosity and worry.
Xu Fei feeling their curiosity smiled slightly saying
"How are you guys doing"
Qian and jiao exchanged glances while Jiao eventually replied
"Quiet good and how about you guys"
"Not bad. Recently, Grandpa's health has been deteriorating due to his age. The doctors have given up on treatment and announced he only has about a year left."
Jiao's face turned ashen, her sorrow and reluctance to let go evident as tears streamed from the corners of her eyes. Qian, seeing this, moved closer and embraced her from the side, trying to comfort her as he looked at Fei Fei.
"isn't grandpa reaching 90 this year"
Looking at Jiao, Fei Fei's suppressed emotions threatened to spill out as he replied to Su Qian.
"hmm, yes"
Qian opened his mouth and was about to speak when a voice came from the entrance. Gazing into the distance, they saw Meng walking towards them, followed by Ming.
"Mom, Dad i saw a Bentley parked outside"
Before Meng could finish his sentence, he spotted Fei Fei, who was beaming at him. Meng smiled faintly in greeting.
"Hi, Uncle Fei long time no see"
"Hmm, long time no see Ming and Meng have it been 3 years"
Ming replied with a perplexed expression as he confirmed that Fei Fei remembered it correctly
"Yes, it's been 3 years. are you here on a business inspection"
"No, i am here to consult divine doctor i heard rumors that the Divine doctor was living nearby so i was here to seek his assistance"
"Is everything okay"
"Well It's grandpa Xu his health was quiet unstable and modern doctors were unable to determine the cause so i would like to consult chinese doctor"
With a solemn expression, Su Meng took a seat diagonal to Fei Fei, handing his back bag to the maid standing nearby, and stated:
"Can you elaborate it further and can i see Grandpa's medical records"
"Sure, it all started a month ago..."
Apparently, Old Xu had announced his will, making Xu Fei the next patriarch of the Xu family. Uncle Xin received a trading company and a finance company, while Xu BeiHong got a five-star restaurant. Grandpa decided to gift Jiao a technology company, and Ming and Meng each received a villa, along with 5 billion in cash and a grand hotel in the university district. They planned to draft a contract once Ming and Meng finished their college entrance exams.
A week later, one afternoon, Old Xu suddenly coughed up blood at the dining table. Maids rushed Old Master to the hospital, and after prolonged treatment, Old Xu's health stabilized. However, a few days ago, Old Xu's vitals suddenly dropped significantly, and he has been in a coma since then. Even though he is in a coma, doctors can't find the cause..
After listening to Xu Fei's explanation, Meng's brow furrowed as he fell into contemplation. The room fell silent as everyone gazed at Su Meng. Opening his mouth, Su Meng stated,
"Uncle don't you think it was quite suspicious"
Propelled Fei Fei questioned look at Meng with uncertainty and astonishment
"what do you mean"
"I mean one moment Grandpa announced his Will and in another moment he fell ill"
Su meng expecting Fei Fei's reaction gave a clue with a hit of suspense
"well, i too thought the same at first but dismissed it later thinking that Grandpa announced because he was unwell"
XU Fei was taken aback and replied with a Broader perspective
"Did you reviewed his previous Medical reports"
Su Meng shook his head, shifting the focus. Realization dawned on Xu Fei, who hastily replied with a hint of resignation and guilt.
"Yes, they are all normal"
"See, you send it yourself"
"Wait that means' someone.."
Fei Fei started to link everything together, confirming his suspicion as he raised his eyebrows. Su Meng nodded in agreement, confirming Fei Fei's suspicion, and replied.
"Correct, i think someone poisoned GrandPa"
"If that's the case why can't doctors determine the cause, they should have.."
Contemplating Xu Fei questioned expressed his disbelief
"They are Lot of poisons that can't be detected by the modern Equipment"
Su Meng interjected, replying to Fei Fei's question with an expectant look. Jiao, listening to Meng and Fei Fei's conversation, grew anxious. She trembled at the notion of someone poisoning her grandfather, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Seeing this, Su Ming reached out to Jiao with concern, asking, "Mom, are you alright?"
Su Meng, drawn from the conversation by Ming's words, hastily knelt on one knee, his face pale with trepidation, and asked:
"What's wrong mom are you feeling unwell"
"I..i am good"
Jiao replied with a trumpling voice trying to control her emotions adding
"pl...Please help your Grandpa"
"Of course, it's my duty to help him as his grandson"
Su Meng replied with amusement and concern. Fei fei who stood Behind Su meng Interjected saying
"Sister, you don't have to worry much. I already found clues about the divine doctor's whereabouts, and I will make sure Grandpa gets well as soon as possible."
Jiao looked at Fei as he was a fool and exasperation replying
"The divine doctor you were looking for was right in front off you"
Fei Fei was dumbfounded as he Gazed at Jiao with disbelief eventually questioning
"Cousin what are you talking about"
"Meng was the Divine doctor you're looking for"
"oh, Whattttttt"
Su Meng who was standing beside Fei Fei rubbed his ears saying with a hint of annoyance
"What's so shocking about it"
"We..Well, i just didn't expect it from you"
Su Meng rolled his eyes as he instructed by waving his hand
"What ever, Please bring GrandPa to Xiangchang as soon as possible, as long i know At first they should have injected a low dose trying to keep Old Xu alive. if they know that you found the divine doctor they will definitely try to poison Grandpa again"
"What do i do now"
"nothing Just go back without meeting anyone and tell you came here to Meet mom to explaining about grandfather's condition"
"Got it, i will make arrangements to transfer Grandpa to Xiangchang"
"Hmm, once you reached home make sure not to let anyone to Old Xu's room. I will present a liquid make sure that inject it once the nurse completed giving injection. Just in case they Bribed the Nurse it will supress the Poison"
"okay, i will make sure to follow your guidence"
Meng turned towards Qian with a slight smile saying
"please look after mother i will be back shortly"
"No problem"
SU Meng Nodded before ascending the stairs. Qian turned towards Ming saying
"Aren't you moving to dorm tomorrow go and pack your things"
"okay"
Nodding Ming Stood up and made his way towards upstairs. Seeing at Ming's fading back Qian exclaimed
"I hope he was not frightened due to early incident"
"I am sorry"
Jiao replied while lowered her head with resignation.
"It was not your fault"
Seeing at Jiao's sorry state Qian feeling that he misspoke tried to smooth things over. Fei joined in lending a hand
"Yes sis, By the way did you guys have any thoughts of relocating to capital"
"No, even though we have a branch in the Capital, our main business is in Xiangchang. We want Su Meng and Ming to take charge of the Capital branch since they will be going to university there.""
"I see, Let me know if they face any problems in the future"
"Okay, No Problem"
Three of them were immersed in the conversation while Su Meng, who went upstairs, gazed at the bookshelf in front of him, a mix of emotions on his face. Raising his hand, Su Meng pulled a golden book.
"Crack"
The sound of the door opening echoed as the shelf moved away, revealing a twenty-square-meter dark room hidden behind it. Lifting his leg, Su Meng stepped inside. As soon as he entered, the lights in the room illuminated, revealing the neatly arranged contents within.
On the left side of the room, a row of test tubes was placed, along with other equipment like a Haemoglobinometer and an autoclave. In front of Meng, a microscope rested on the table. On the right side of the room, a large shelf held various medicines. Su Meng reached for a small glass bottle in the top rack, filled with clear blue liquid.
Su Meng brought it toward his right eye, examining it thoroughly before nodding in satisfaction. As he left the room, once the door closed, he saw Ming standing outside with an anxious demeanor.
Su Meng couldn't help but smile seeing the disoriented Ming. Seeing Meng come out, Ming quickly rushed to him, asking,
"Brother, do you think mom will be fine if Grandpa die"
"I am not so sure about it. why do you ask
Su Meng playfull teased Ming to ease his tension
"well it natural for me to worry about our mother"
Ming replied nonchalantly, waving his hand, acknowledging Meng's attempt to encourage him.
"Fine, rest now. Once Uncle Fei leaves, let's pack our things."
"Okay"
Su Ming replied obediently. Nodding, Meng descended the stairs. Looking at Su Ming's fading back, he let out a sigh before walking towards his own room.
Downstairs, Su Meng handed the glass bottle to Xu Fei as they chatted away for quite some time. Xu Fei departed.
Up Stairs,
Su Meng entered Ming's room and found Su Ming asleep. Chuckling, he shook his head. Meng went to the wardrobe, opened his luggage bag, and packed various garments, along with a few pairs of undergarments. Reaching the study, Su Meng organized some textbooks and practice papers.
An hour later, after finishing packing Ming's luggage, Meng returned to his room and packed his own. He set his things aside, then grabbed his laptop bag. He placed his laptop inside and put the bag on top of his luggage before jumping onto the bed and cuddling up.
Next Day,
Two luxury cars came to a halt in front of the east gate of the campus. A Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class led the way, followed by a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Jiao and Su Qian were in the back seat of the Maybach, while Su Ming and Meng were in the car behind.
The security personnel's eyes widened at the sight of the two luxury vehicles in a shock until one of the security guard came back to his senses before Stop the vehicle
"Sorry sir unauthorized people are not allowed inside may i see your ID"
Others came back to their senses as they hurried over to assist the security guard. Su Qian who was sitting in the back seat rolled his window exclaiming
"Hello, hear is my ID and we are on our way to dorm"
taking the ID security guard scanned between the photo on the ID and then at Su Qian before questioning
"what about your children"
Su Qian smiled slightly replying
"In the car behind"
Lifting his head, the security guard took a look behind him with astonishment as he walked towards the door and knocked. Su Ming rolled down the window and gazed at the security guard before asking:
"can i help you Mr. security"
The security guard chuckled sheepishly, scratching his nose with embarrassment, and stated:
"May i take a look at your Student ID"
Ming flashed a pleasant smile and handed his student ID to the guard. He then turned to Meng and asked for his. Su Meng handed his ID card to Ming, who passed it over to the guard. The guard glanced at the IDs and then at Ming and Meng before letting them in.
The two cars spread along the campus roads were the roads of the campus are quiet were a few students are roaming around. shortly both of them came to halt in front of the dorm building, the students in the Dorm erupted into chaos in the sight of two luxury vehicles as they murmured.
Jiao and Qian stepped out of the car followed by Su Ming and Meng, seeing Meng stepping out of the car the dorm erupted into cheers as everyone started shouting
"Lord Meng"
"Lord Meng, Lord Meng. Lord Meng"
Propelled Jiao and Qian look ahead to find that the students gathered in their room balcony cheering out for Meng, Jiao's face fill with joy and amusement as she turned towards Meng saying
"Seems like you had a lot of fans"
Ming chuckled replying
"of course, he was their role model"
Su Meng rolled his eyes with exasperation, refraining from elaborating further. His gaze drifted towards the entrance, and he saw Zhao Xu walking towards them, followed by five others.
Su Meng waved his hand as he saying
"you guys are here"
Zhao Xu waved back as he hastily advanced saying
"Good Morning Boss"
Su Meng surveyed the crowd as he Turned towards zhao Xu asking
"Isn't Han here yet"
"uhh no, he said he will be here shortly but it's already been half an hour and he was not answering my calls from then"
Su Meng's eyes flickered as he retreated his phone calling
"Hello, Meng"
The person on the other end greeted with a soft, friendly voice. meng recipated his greeting as he stating
"Hi uncle, i can't reach Han Yin is everything alright"
"Oh, he was fine. Someone just snatched his mobile while he stepped out to buy some souvenirs. Yin went to the station to file a report."
Mr. Han replied as he grasped the situation after all he just ended the call with Hu Xiu fang Han Yin's driver
"thank god he was fine, then i will not disturb you anymore uncle"
Listening to Mr. Han's words Su Meng replied as he took a sigh of relief .Mr. Han smiled saying
"Hmm, Take care of yourself during your stay in the dorm"
SU Meng feeling Mr. Han's genuine concern replied before hanging up
"Sure uncle"
Tugging his phone away, turning back he saw Zhao Xu and others are looking at him with a concern Meng smiled and replied
"Everything is fine he will be here at any moment"
Everyone breath a sigh of relief, Meng turned towards Ming saying
"should we visit your dorm first"
Ming nodded replying
"No problem"
Turning around Su Meng addressed Xiong Zhiqiang instructing him to bring Ming's luggage upstairs as they made their way towards third floor
In front of the room No: 302 Su Ming inserted the keys into the lock hole
"creak"
The sound of the door opening echoed as it was pushed open. Su Ming entered the room, finding that two of the four beds were occupied – one on the right, the other on the left. One of the students slept soundly, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Su Ming selected the bed on the right, opposite the occupied one.
Xiong Zhiqiang helped Ming arrange the bedding, and Jiao lent a hand organizing Ming's desk. Meng organized Ming's clothes into the wardrobe, and Qian surveyed the room, gazing out at the distance through the balcony.
The bathroom door opened, and a man with mediocre looks and physique walked out, a towel wrapped around his lower body. Turning, he saw Jiao and Meng, who were smiling at him.
Wang Li stood there in a daze, a mixture of emotions swirling within him. Su Meng burst into laughter as he handed the clothes on the right side of the bed to wang Li. Wang Li took the clothes and dashed back into the bathroom.
Ming Meng and Jiao no longer contain their laughter and bursted out into a hearty laugh, inside the Restroom Wang Li's cheeks flushed red as he clutched his clothes in embarrassment.
Few Minutes later,
Meng, Jiao and Qian walked out of the room followed by Ming and Wang Li. as soon as Meng stepped out his phone rang Picking up he walked to the distance
